We will continue to report on the story in the meantime tonight. The Kyle Rittenhouse trial continued today in Wisconsin in a move that surprised lawyers ever he took the stand in his own defense. That is unusual in criminal cases and especially unusual in murder trials, and the reason is simple. The stakes are too high one wrong answer in a cross examination and you could wind up spending life in prison, but this case was different by the time he testified today. Kyle Rittenhouse had already won the case. At this point. There was no remaining doubt the Kyle Rittenhouse had acted in self defense during the riots last summer, in Kenosha, every shot, Rittenhouse fired was captured on videotape and from multiple angles. Every single witness who testified this week at the trial confirmed exactly what happened here are the facts of it. A convicted child rapist called Joseph Rosenbaum, was released from a mental hospital and when directly to join the mob that was burning down Kenosha. Once he got to the right, Rosenbaum saw Kyle, Rittenhouse

and immediately threatened to kill him Rosenbaum then chased Rittenhouse and try to pull the gun from his hands when he did that Kyle Rittenhouse shot him, so Joseph Rosenbaum died as he had lived, trying to touch and unwilling minor. At this point, Rittenhouse ran to find police a mob. Then chased him down the street howling for his death, a riot or jumped on Rittenhouse and knocked into the ground. Another smashed him in the face with a skateboard he had another loaded gun pointed in his face. He shot the second two men, one of them fatally. So those are the facts and theres no way to interpret them, except for what they are. The exercise of self Defense, Kyle Rittenhouse shot people, so he would not be killed. But if you take a step back from the story, you see some thing else entirely. You see violent insanity completely out of control in the middle of an american city. The question is: how did that happen in our country? And why did nobody stop it? It wasnt just happening in Kenosha course buried violent mobs at the same moment

overwhelmed New York and Minneapolis in Portland and many other cities. They killed at least a dozen people because hundreds of millions of dollars in damage they burned businesses, torched police stations, they bombed court houses, invaded suburban neighborhoods in the middle of the night purely to intimidate people because of their race Democrats applauded all of this as it happened. Most are Republicans just ignored it and, of course the media lied about it. In Kenosha, the police barely even showed up officers. An armored cruiser sat and watched as writers torched a car lot with more than a hundred vehicles in it, and they did nothing to stop the chaos. The question, then, is: how exactly are we surprised when a 17 year old, lifeguard from Illinois decides to step in they hate it? When you say that, but its an entirely fair question, when legitimate authority refuses to do its duty, it sworn duty, others will fill the backing. That is always true its a physics printable, but rather than acknowledge that obvious truth and accept the responsibility they there. The people who made these rights

possible in the first place decided instead to crush Kyle Rittenhouse Joe Biden publicly called him a Weitzer premises, something for which someday we very much hope he has sued, because it is totally outrageous and false numbers of Congress called him. A domestic terrorist today, Kyle Rittenhouse spoke for himself see what you think. Once I take that step back. I look over my shoulder and Mr Rosenbaum. Mr Rosenbaum was now running from my right side and I was cornered from in side and I was cornered from in front of me and there were sobbing there were people right. There

take a deep breath, Kyle. So after a ten minute break to compose himself, Kyle Rittenhouse returned to the court room and proceeded to blow up the prosecutions claims that he had racked his rifle in a threatening manner. It turns out he didnt rack his rifle at all, and video proved that and then he it explained why he turned himself in people are saying frame, him kill him. People were screaming and I just was trying to get to the police. You say im trying to get to the police. Why were you trying to get to the police? I didnt do anything wrong. I defended myself. Did you feel as though there were safety where the police were? Yes, they didnt really have a response to that since its all on videotape, its probably true, so instead, the lead prosecutor, in the case in todays case,

who is essentially an NPR pledge, drive donor, took a very different tactic. He went on to must be guilty because he went on to exercise his right to remain silent watch since August 25th, two thousand and twenty. This is the first time that you have is the first time that you have told your story since August 25th, two thousand and twenty youve had the benefit of watching countless videos of your actions. That night correct youve also had the opportunity to listen to the testimony of all thirty some witnesses that have testified in this trial so far correct yes, and after all of that now youre telling us your side of the story correct. I am making the point after hearing everything in the case

and now hes tailoring his story to what has already been introduced. The problem is this is a grave constitutional violation for you to talk about the defendants, silence and that is and youre right on the borderline, and you may you may be over, but it better stop understood yeah. This is day one of our school stuff, but just to be clear, exercising her constitutional right is not an indication that you are guilty. It is a sign that you are american, it is your birthright. The governments, own lawyer, does not understand that what you think might get the attention of Merrick Garlands Justice Department, which, after all, is in charge of justice in this country, but no Merrick Garland is not interested. Just to see has ignored the thugs of videotaping jurors outside the courthouse. The judge in this case seems pretty well fed up with all of it.

Today he ruled the prosecutors could not mention statement about shoplifters that Kyle Rittenhouse, apparently made weeks before the shooting prosecutors, asked him about them. Anyway, once again, the judge was forced to shut down the trial. I indicated that bias towards hold it open with a bias towards denial. Why would you think that that made it okay for you without any advance notice, to bring this matter before the jury you are already you are. I was astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendants. Postarrest silence, thats basic law, its been basic law in this country for forty years fifty years. I have no idea why you would do something like that and it gives well. I will leave it at that, so I dont know what youre up to you can watch televised trials for the next ten years and never hear a judge. Talk like that thats how completely out of control the prosecution in this case is,

at this point its not even clear its going to make it to a jury. The defense has asked the judge to dismiss the case without the possibility of pretrial and the judge indicated he might very well grant that request. So again, what youre watching is willful prosecutorial misconduct, its an intentional perversion of justice, and the judge very well knows that I have heard nothing in this trial to change any of my rulings so testimony your honor pardon me that was before the testimony grade dont get brazen with me. You knew very well. You know very well that an attorney cant go into these types of areas when the judge has already ruled without asking outside the presence of the jury. To do so. Dont give me that yeah dont give me that exactly good for the judge. We should tell you, where so used to evaluating everything, throw partisan lens that its worth, knowing the judge in this case that guy was appointed by a Democrat. The point is, however, still believes in the constitution. Thats always the point. Kyle Rittenhouse should be very

grateful, hes the judge in this case yesterday the prosecutors tried to bully a freelance photographer in return. That turned out to be a mistake. He ratted them out on live television. Watch this. You said there was a lot of tension in the room when you met with me. Yes, is it fair to say you were very nervous yeah absolutely and we did it. You read over your statements right correct and we ask if you knew anything beyond that statement correct. We didnt ask you to change it. Yes, you did buried. Yes, you did so pressuring a witness to changes, statement right, thats, exactly the kind of justice that Kyle Rittenhouse has received from the government. So far, no one whos been paying attention a surprised by any of this goals, like Joe Biden politicize this case day, one whats, terrifying and very unnerving to anyone who lives in

this country is the number of institutions that joins the Democratic Party in trying to prevent Kyle Rittenhouse from getting a fair trial, which again is your birthright and his American Heres an example. In Virginia a police, Lieutenant called William Kelley was fired from his job for daring to donate, to Kyle Rittenhouses legal defense. Kelly was a twenty or veteran of the Norfolk Police Department. He had three children and a wife with cancer for disagreeing with Joe Bidens view of the Rittenhouse case. The department dismissed him without a pension that actually happen. Insult Lake City, local news station decided to terrorize a paramedic called Craig Shepard his sin, giving ten dollars to Rittenhouses legal defense, so reporters called shepherds employer another reporter showed up at his house with a camera crew and brag about it. Abc four news: investigator went to Shepards Home to get his side of things, but those inside the home didnt want to talk. Yeah wonder why it is shameful and authoritarian authoritarian hurting the week

to appease the strong thats, the american media, two thousand and twenty one. Having watched the trial, no honest person could fail to admit the obvious. The media were completely wrong about Kyle Rittenhouse. They slandered an innocent kid, but theyre not admitting it its at least one exception, though, and we want to highlight that person tonight. Her name is Anna shes, a lefty on a show called the young Turk she hates the show and most of the time we disagree with her. But on the question of this trial, Anna was bravely honest and good for her watch this. So look these details matter, because, if youre going to make an argument that you acted in self defense, there needs to be some proof that there was an imminent threat. Now. What really mattered to me was how all of this unfolded. What was the thing that sparked it? What started all of it, and initially I was under the assumption that Rittenhouse was the person who was chasing after Joseph Rosenbaum that thats how it started,

but I was wrong about that. Okay, so I want to correct the record. I was in fact wrong about that wow. You dont see that too often, but its not hard by the way. Well, the truth, let reality be your guide.
