Need to Know (15 November 2021) with Joe Olson and Carl Herman

Time Text
This is Jim Fetzer in Madison, Wisconsin, joined today by Joe Olson from Houston and Carl Herman from San Ramon, California.
We're here to bring you all the news you need to know.
Developments include House Republicans declare the Build Back Better deal dead.
Every time someone talks about it, it dies just a little more.
Several House Republicans have declared the BBB dead.
Remember, this started out as the $3.5 trillion, which the moderates wanted to guarantee would be passed with the infrastructure bill, which appeared to be far more legitimate.
But it looks as though the BBB is on its last legs.
As Representative Kamrich said, I believe it will begin to eat away at their chances of passing the Build Back Better Act.
You're going to see many Democrats retire.
You're going to see a huge shift in the Democratic caucus.
This abandonment by the Democrats is music to the American people's ears.
Despite Speaker Pelosi and other Democrat thought the bill would be as historic as FDR's New Deal or LBJ's Great Society, the program is dripping with Bernie Sanders influence.
They've been scaling it down at every turn from $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion.
The Republicans aren't buying in, and neither are Senators Manchin or Sinema.
The Democrats are losing footing at every step, and for good reason.
People don't want progressive politics.
They don't want a bill passed that focuses on a large number of resources on major urban areas and ignores rural sectors.
They don't want a plan that's funded.
Nobody can explain how it's going to be.
For decades now, Americans have been paying higher and higher taxes.
Democrats want to keep mushing them up and up and up.
The fact of the matter is simple.
We don't need more programs.
We need better spending on the programs we already have.
We don't need higher taxes.
We need our officials to do more with a budget they already have.
Isn't that what many Democrats have been telling Americans for ages?
People wouldn't be poor if they stopped spending money on frivolous things and work with what they have.
Yet it's impossible to achieve success financially when you're losing money left and right to taxes from which you see no benefits.
The Democrats have all but etched the tombstone for the BBB.
A changing of the guard is taking place, with what's going on in Virginia and New Jersey being only the earliest signs.
If the left wants any part of the BBB to attain the zombie-like status it would earn, they need to reach out and find common ground.
The 2022 midterm and 2024 presidential are coming up.
We're on track for a wonderful electoral season, says a Republican spokesman.
A bold statement, but if the special election of 2021 are any indication, she could not be more accurate.
The tide is turning.
People are no longer basing their votes on horrifically biased ads.
They're once again voting on what they think is best for America.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris saw her political future flash before her eyes after this shocking news.
After flaming out of the presidential primary before a single vote was cast, she was given a golden parachute by becoming vice president.
Biden promoted his as a Biden-Harris.
Sometimes the Harris-Biden administration gave her a larger role.
She was put in charge of the border crisis but fumbled it, searching for root causes instead of visiting the border.
The Democrats continue in catastrophic mistakes.
We have numbers showing how big a disaster it is.
A recent USA Today poll found Harris only had a 27.8 approval rating, a 51.2 disapproval.
Unprecedentedly bad numbers.
She has the worst approval rating of any VP in modern history.
This plummeting popularity came as she tried to rebrand her image with the help of Obama and Hillary's spin doctors.
The poll was another confirmation of the all-around bad news for Democrats.
Biden is sporting a Jimmy Carter level, 38% approval.
Nancy Pelosi's Congress, 12%.
With Biden in a still clear state of mental decline, Harris is a frontrunner for the Democrat nomination in 2024.
Democrats will be sweating bullets if she decides to step up into the plate.
With numbers this bad, it could set up a Republican landslide in 2024.
It's going to come whether she runs or not, I guarantee 100%.
Joe, are you there?
Yeah, in and out.
I'm shocked I'm having all these problems in an area where I never had them before.
First of all, let's go with the infrastructure, Bill.
Clearing people as infrastructure, so you can include preschool and postgraduate high school, college as being an investment in infrastructure is beyond
absurd.
Then the other factor on that is the enormous subsidies for, quote, green energy.
We had a power grid that was entirely built on user-based fees that included all.
Minimal, yes.
Go ahead. With minimal government subsidies that worked just fine for over 100 years.
And now we're supposed to turn around and subsidize electrical charging stations, electrical cars, electrical bicycles, solar and wind farms all over the country.
It's absolutely insane.
Those are proven dead-end technologies on all of those.
So, you know, hopefully the BBB will die the death it deserves.
I think that's a foregone conclusion at this point.
Carl, your thoughts?
Well, the Biden-Harris Democratic Party 666 plan, excuse me, the BBB plan is just looting and lying three and a half trillion dollars up through the Obama administration.
That was the total sum of the entire federal budget.
This is looting and money laundering on its face.
The central problems with the looting is also going to include the siphoning off of funds for the lie-started illegal wars of aggression, the Federal Reserve System, which is neither federal nor do they have any reserves.
They're as federal as Federal Express.
And then Catherine Austin Fitts and the late Robert David Steele documents about $200 trillion looted So until Americans understand that this is a rogue state, illegal government that is looting and lying to them, then we're just at risk of further loss of the American taxpayer money.
The election trend is optimistic because people are beginning to see through the lack of any substance and the completely backwards ideas that are being proposed as good.
It's really an Orwellian opposite that's going on.
But I do want to emphasize that the Dominion voting machines do not make any fair elections possible.
And the 28% approval rating for Kamala, you just gotta like that.
I'm going to be showing my students a one minute video clip from BitChute titled Kamala Just Solved Inflation to give people a good idea of the response that Kamala Yeah, I think the Democrats have a bunch of morons in charge of the government.
It's pathetic.
Here we have a red wave swamping the Garden State.
The Democrat Sweeney has finally conceded the major upset to the truck driver Doerr.
This is fascinating.
Meanwhile, a trend shows more and more Hispanics are moving to the GOP.
Biden turned me into a Republican.
When Glenn Youngkin defeated Terry McAuliffe in Virginia, many pollsters know the GOP was picking up more Hispanic votes.
They wondered what it could mean for Democrats in 2022 and 2024.
Some Hispanics have been brutally honest about why they've changed.
Perez did not hold back.
His comments appear to reveal he had been a Democrat prior.
I believe Biden turned me into a Republican, Perez said.
Biden is destroying the economy.
Inflation is through the roof.
Everything is terrible.
After the Virginia election, Telemundo asked Hispanic voter and Youngkin supporter Juan Perez why he voted Republican.
Similarly, Trump made huge gains with Hispanics in 2020.
The newest and most detailed data yet shows the trend is nationwide.
According to a recent report from the Democrat data firm Catalyst, the number of Latinos who cast votes increased by 31 percent from 2016 to 2020, accounting for a tenth of the electorate.
A comfortable majority, an estimated 61%, supported Biden.
But there was about an 8 percentage point swing toward Trump, based on data on votes cast for either in 2016 and 2020.
Democrats increasingly can't rely on the notion that if Hispanics show up, they're going to vote Democrat.
The data shows many Latino voters, the fastest growing share of the electorate, are not firmly part of the Democrat base instead.
They seem to be persuadable voters, presenting a potential opportunity for both Democrats and Republicans, especially true for voters who aren't hyper-partisan, new and infrequent voters, as well as people who flipped their votes in 2020 or who decided to sit the election out entirely.
A political insider noted the trend is especially pronounced near the southern border in Texas, with Hispanic former Democrats changing parties and even running for office.
Lester Gammas told the news outlet that he was not involved in politics prior to the recent Virginia election, but some factors had convinced her to support Young Gunn.
This is a nightmare for the Democrats.
I believe that Republicans now, especially we minorities, have stood up because I'm sick of people stigmatizing me for being a Republican and being expected not to speak up.
I believe Republicans now.
Here we go.
Pollster Ed Gamara recently told Politico, I can tell you from my research what we're seeing now is a real message for the Democrats.
We're not getting behind issues that speak to Latinos.
There's a reason we're seeing that shift.
Their woes aren't limited to Hispanics either.
Black support for Joe Biden has dropped an incredible 20% this year because they're seeing Joe in action and what it means to have these people in office.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, looks like we're gonna have an interesting governor's race.
Beto O'Rourke just announced that he is going to be running on a Democratic ticket, and so did the actor McConaughey announced today that he's running, and we have three announced, excuse me, make that four announced candidates in the Republican side.
We've got Grabit Abbott running for re-election.
And then we've got Huffins.
Chad Prather, who's a talk host on Blaze TV and former state rep,
the last probably five or 10 years and former president of the US, I mean, of the Texas GOP.
So it looks like we got some really good heavyweights and Abbott, although they try to say
his polls are really high, he's not like, and McConaughey's kind of stepping on the fence here.
He's not getting his kids vaccinated.
So if they wanna make that a political issue, now they've got a Democrat on each side of that issue.
So we'll know which way that'll carry the votes either.
Uh, certainly 2022 is going to be interesting if we're allowed to have legal elections.
And in Texas, the Dominion-owned Optec Software is who tabulates our votes.
And Mike Lindell's information proves that all 254 counties in Texas had over a million MAGA votes split in 2020.
He's supposed to make a big information drop on the Wednesday right before Thanksgiving.
He's filing a suit with the U.S.
Supreme Court.
And then he's dropping a ton of information in a news cycle that will go 12 hours each day with a 12-hour reloop overnight, all four days of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
So people have something to talk about besides football and that extra piece of pie you're going to have.
And who knows, maybe we'll put enough pressure that by Monday when the court reconvenes, they have to decide some of the critical issues that are apparent in all 50 states elections in 2020.
Well, I like the guy so much I might have to buy one of his pillows.
Carl, your thoughts?
Yeah, the trend of abandoning the Democratic Party, this will be the last hurrah for them.
They will disintegrate as a political party.
There's no way that they can survive.
If you just take a look at just a few of the facts that I was able to write down as we were going over the story.
So you have Biden and Harris, the most unelectable duo that they could pick for 2020.
Biden, a child-groping, demanded war criminal.
With Hunter, with his art, and pedophilia with family, the laptop surprises that are gonna come out.
And Kamala, she didn't receive any of the votes during the primaries.
And again, if you go to BitChute, Kamala just solved inflation.
You have the 2020 Summer of Love with arson and looting that was allowed.
And then the catch and release of those criminals to allow to go back out and loot and turn things on fire.
You had the factless Russiagate, the crimeless impeachment.
Yeah, the FBI false flag, inciting an erection, as Adam Schiff just said on The View.
You have the election fraud.
You have the COVID lockouts, masks, the injections, the open borders, the Afghan closing disaster.
You have the closed pipelines.
Now another one is going to be added to that.
And that said, is that we're not going to be in any better shape until the Bush crime syndicate from the Republican side Yeah, nice, nice, nice, nice.
Very good, very good, Carl.
Excellent review and inventory of the negatives for the Democrats.
to Bush senior being involved in the assassination of JFK.
Yeah, nice, nice, nice, nice.
Very good, very good, Carl.
Excellent review and inventory of the negatives for the Democrats.
Meanwhile, DeSantis brilliantly threatens us and the illegal immigrants
to Biden's home state of Delaware.
This is so appropriate.
If they're going to come here, we'll provide buses.
I'll send them to Delaware.
If he's not going to support the border being secure, then he should be able to have everyone there.
The governor's office has reported more than 70 flights of illegal migrants have been sent to Jacksonville.
70 flights!
Reports began surfacing in October that the Biden administration was flying plane loads of illegals from Texas to New York.
In an op-ed addressing this story, the New York Post accused Biden of playing a deadly game using secret flights to move migrants.
They were reportedly going to Florida.
Jen Psaki defended the action being taken, saying it should be no surprise, even though it's the middle of the night.
The issue with illegal migrants being grown to Florida came to the forefront when the Post reported a 24-year-old Honduran charged with murder had entered the country, claiming to be a 17-year-old unaccompanied minor.
Unfortunately, it was a tragic situation.
One of the illegals Biden flew in committed a murder in Florida, DeSantis told Hannity.
This individual would be alive had Biden not been doing this.
We can obviously deny them state contracts, which we will do, talking about with a federal government.
Can we deny them access to Florida's market generally?
Can we tax them?
Can we do things to provide this incentive so they can't do it?
We're going to do whatever we can do.
Biden this past weekend angrily insisted illegals who were separated deserve payment.
So who wants to give up $450,000?
This is insane!
The Senate slammed the proposal.
We've had all kinds of really bad policies throughout our country that has limited freedom, and you're going to turn around for that?
You're going to give $450,000 for an individual who came illegally into this country?
It's just disgusting and insulting beyond belief.
Joe, your thoughts?
Joe, your thoughts?
Carl, your thoughts?
Yep.
All right, so that whole thing of the border is just my finest academic term as National Board Certified Teacher of History and Government is to call that a shit show.
The obfuscation is just bizarre of what they're trying to do.
And for this, this is just another on the long list of the crime du jours that we're suffering under and why there is no support for this democratic leadership at the time.
And the $450,000, that just communicates to me that I'm still at 95% that this is a white hat op and that we're seeing The most clever portrayal of failure that the White Hats can push to wake Americans up.
I hope that is true.
That is a short term goal that perhaps might be a breakthrough date is the 1122 assassination anniversary of JFK.
And I say so because the White Hats who were paying attention when JFK was assassinated, certainly organized and certainly Would want that as an appropriate date for payback when the White Hats were in superior forces.
Joe, have we got you, my friend?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
Interesting bunch of dynamics going on.
Since I've had association with the Texas border my whole entire life, my grandparents on both sides lived in Brownsville, so I spent every summer there for 40 years.
It's really tragic what they're doing to our state and doing to our nation, and I'd love to see Several million of them show up in Delaware or even Washington, D.C.
would be nice.
And wouldn't it be tragic if we had an airline pilot have a clot and drop a plane load of those people somewhere in the nation?
That would be a double emphasis on the dangers that we face at this particular point.
Yes, yes.
Good, good, Joe.
Thanks.
Excellent.
Meanwhile, opinion.
This is Mark Thiessen, who's an excellent commentator.
Democrats are lying about critical race theory.
It's become a refrain on the left in its echo chamber following Glenn Youngkin's victory over Terry McAuliffe.
Critical race theory is not being taught in the schools.
PBF White House correspondent accused Republicans of winning by lying about critical race theory.
Senator Warren declared, there's not a school in Virginia that teaches critical race theory.
Those who say otherwise, we are told are dishonest, hyping a fact CRT threat, promoting an imaginary issue to manipulate low information people.
Engaging in race-baiting lies and blowing a racist dog whistle.
This is demonstrably false.
Virginia's Loudoun County, which were ground zero in the debate, paid $314,000 for critical race theory coaching for its teachers from the Equity Collaborative, a consulting firm that turns critical race theory into practices for building more equitable learning environments.
In its presentation, Introduction to Critical Race Theory, they instruct teachers that racism is an inherent part of American civilization, attacks ideas of colorblindness, neutrality of the law, incremental change, and equal opportunity for all, which I would mention are basic elements of American democracy.
for maintaining white power and strongholds within society.
It also questions the idea of meritocracy, that people can have accomplishments, have abilities, have attainments that enable them to benefit beyond those of others with lesser Which allows the empowered to feel good and have a clear conscience concludes with a breakout session about how you might use CRT to identify and address systemic oppression in your school district organization.
Except systemic racism doesn't exist in the United States.
Look at how we have all the Blacks succeeding in athletics.
We elect Black political leaders.
We elect a Black president not just once but twice.
We admire Black actors.
Our advertising is dominated by Blacks.
One Loudoun County parent filed a public record request to find out what took place in the sessions and received a talking point list used by Equity Collaborative to train Virginia teachers.
They were encouraged not to profess colorblindness.
But admit their own racist, sexist, heterosexist, and other detrimental attitudes, beliefs, behaviors.
In other words, they're trying to teach the Turchers into racism.
It's not just Loudoun County.
In 2019, the Virginia State Superintendent, James F. Lane, sent a memo to all school districts promoting critical race theory training, declaring CRT as proven to be an important analytic tool in the field of education.
Offering critical perspectives on race, the causes, consequence, and manifestation of race, racism, inequity, and dynamics of power and privilege in schooling.
This is insulting, as Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Ruffo points out right now on its website.
The Virginia Department of Education recommends critical race theory in education as a best practice and derives its definition of racism, white supremacy, and education equity explicit from critical race theory.
It's true in other states as well.
In New York City, school administrators were required to undergo training Where they learned that objectivity and individualism are elements of white supremacy culture.
Students as young as six in California are being taught CRT-inspired lessons in white privilege and structural racism.
The left's CRT denial is intellectually dishonest.
Just because grade school students aren't studying academic treatise on critical race theory doesn't mean it's not being taught.
Most students are also not reading Karl Marx.
But if they were being instructed by teachers trained in Marxism to see everything through the prism of class struggle, they'd be learning Marxism.
Today, children are being instructed by teachers trained in CRT to see everything through the prism of race, to believe the U.S.
is a systemically racist country, to believe society is divided into two classes—oppressors and oppressed—and that which you are is determined by the color of your skin.
That is That's critical race theory.
Democrats are gaslighting American parents, telling them not to believe what they can see with their own eyes.
Before the pandemic, this might have worked.
Ironically, most parents didn't know firsthand what their children were being taught.
But during last year's lockdowns, that changed.
Millions of parents were stuck working from home while their kids were attending school online.
Allowing parents for the first time to see what their kids were learning in the classroom, and many did not like what they saw.
Nor did they like being told that the promotion of CRT is a figment of their imagination when in Virginia, it's right on the Department of Education website for all to see, so they rose up to demand change.
Even after their electoral shellacking in Virginia, Democrats are doubling down on this strategy of denigrating parents for raising legitimate concerns about their children's education.
Sorry, parents know the critical race there is a real problem.
And if Democrats continue telling parents their concerns are imaginary, they will continue to pay a price at the polls.
Frankly, it's going to be a heavy price.
Indeed, an ex-Clinton advisor has warned that Biden needs to get out of bed with his own party or be doomed in the midterms.
If President Biden is not chipped from his left-wing party and his demands, Democrats will face a devastatingly poor midterm election cycle, according to an interview with Mark Pan, who is an advisor to Bill Clinton.
Progressive activists and strategists began firing shots at moderates immediately after Youngkin's win, declaring they continue to push left-wing politics right up to the 2022 election.
Penn believes New Jersey and Virginia are a sign of things to come if Biden doesn't distance himself.
Penn stated, even though there were signs in the past few months the left was gaining too much influence, the Biden administration has maintained course, not changed a thing.
His push for infrastructure and social spending programs to the finish line saw intra-party fighting reaching a fever pitch.
The infrastructure passage was passed with the support of more than a dozen House Republicans.
However, His social spending package is in much greater danger.
His leadership is trying to balance the act of making progressives happy while keeping moderates from being excluded.
Both West Virginia Senator Manchin and Arizona Senator Sinema have entered the progressive agenda.
Ben Penn states that Biden needs to be pushed more toward the center by a midterm vote.
He doesn't believe Biden will make the change unless voters send a strong message.
He worked alongside President Bill Clinton.
It took the 1994 congressional election to serve as a wake-up call.
He moved from a kind of working for the left to working with a center.
Penn says he doesn't think we're going to see that from Biden right away.
They may, like Clinton, need a strong message from the midterm to make it happen.
Joe, your thoughts?
My own prediction, by the way, the Democrats are going to lose 100 seats in the House from which they will never recover.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, Earth newspaper had a very interesting article that everyone needs to read.
It's one of the chapters out of Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper, published in 1979.
It's called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
It explains exactly the multi-phase attack that's going on against our country
and against human beings on the planet, number one.
Number two, part of the Cultural War was to not only destroy the Southern icons
and a lot of American heroes, but also to destroy a lot of the Black icons,
including Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.
If you want to read a heart-wrenching story, read about Aunt Jemima.
She was one of the first black millionaires in America, traveled all across the country giving cooking shows, and her products were on store shelves in the most bigoted counties in the whole country, along with Uncle Ben.
And so the black people would go in and see their own faces on products in stores that were running By white people.
...restaurants and water fountains, and now she's been vilified and removed from the public sector.
Absolutely shameful that these people are allowed to do this to us.
You're 100% correct, yo.
Carl, your thoughts?
And it's an ongoing task for people to punch through the propaganda.
CRT really needs to be replaced by C-O-T, the critical oligarch theory.
To be able to see that the people pushing CRT is just another divide-to-conquer tactic to subdivide a group and then pretend to care about them, while they're pushing this agenda of COT, whereby the top 1% of income earners now own more assets than the bottom 99%.
And all you got to do for the documentation of this, I do have published economics research, is go to Carl B. Herman Blogspot, any of these shows, read the context section, And I have abundant documentation for these claims.
So the CRT was really a cover for the 2020 Summer of Love, arson, looting, destruction of businesses.
And for that, along with the fake COVID pandemic, to make sure that basement Biden was not exposed as having no support in the summer and to hide the support of the Trump rallies.
So they excuse these, Arsons and these writing and this looting as somehow a racial expression for justice that to cover up the up to the election election fraud.
What we really want is cooperative competition as a public education school teacher for 38 years.
We have had the capacity forever to be able to amplify what is now called multiple intelligences theory.
In order for our students to discover everybody is gifted.
Conversely, everybody has areas on the low end of the bell curve.
And it's important that people have a comprehensive grasp of the cards that they've been dealt in this game of life.
And then we cooperatively compete for our best ideas and our best self-expressions to go forward.
And that's what people want.
That's what excites people.
And I can tell you from personal experience with students is that what we have is we have a stupefication, a bullshit to train stupefied work animals, and they don't need CRT.
The net effect of CRT among the students here at a Northern California high school in Hayward, California, which is one of the most diverse area, I think it is the most Carl, those are great comments.
Excellent.
in all of California, something like that.
The students look at us as if we're crazy.
Why do you need talking about this?
They don't see it as an issue.
They are beginning more and more to recognize COVID as a political issue and is just a small step away
to see CRT as political cover as well.
Carl, those are great comments, excellent.
Meanwhile, we'll be right back.
On the left is a current member of the board of directors On the right is a chairman and CEO of Reuters in charge of informing people neutrally about Pfizer and its side effects.
Pfizer got tired of paying billions in fines for illegal marketing practices, so they bought the media.
It's the same guy.
Meanwhile, Watch this.
Tulsi slams Antifa-loving politicians for labeling Rittenhouse a white supremacist terrorist.
Tulsi Gabbard—and I'm a huge fan—slammed a mainstream and Democrat politician for labeling Kyle Rittenhouse currently on trial a white supremacist terrorist.
The prosecutor clearly didn't do due diligence before making the decision to prosecute.
The tragedy would never have happened if the government carried out its responsibility to protect the safety, lives, and property of innocent people.
She's got it right.
With no evidence, MSM and Antifa-loving politicians immediately labeled Rittenhouse a white supremacist terrorist.
It's obvious now he was just, I don't even think a foolish kid, I think a nihilistic.
Who felt he needed to protect people in the community from rioters and arsonists because the government failed to do so.
The prosecutor in this trial obviously did not do his due diligence before making the decision to prosecute.
The tragedy would never have happened if the government had simply carried out its responsibilities.
I agree 100%.
He's on trial for fatally shooting two and wounding another in the night of August 25th, 2020, as the riot in Kenosha took place.
His defense is making the case, and they're actually making their closing argument in defense of Kyle right now as we speak, that he acted in self-defense with Rittenhouse testifying that if he hadn't shot those running after him, they would have attacked him further.
They would have killed him.
Tulsi expanded on the thoughts expressed on her Twitter in the Fox interview, telling host Lawrence Jones, the mainstream media pro and Tifa politicians were very quick to say this kid is a white supremacist terrorist.
And so even at that time, in the midst of all that chaos, there was no interest in saying, hey, you know what?
This is a tragedy.
The crisis the city is facing is a tragedy.
It's actually wait and follow the evidence and let it work itself through our judicial system.
The government absolutely failed to fulfill this most basic responsibility of keeping their community safe.
Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn't have gone and done what he did, but as you said, you know, he's a foolish kid who, like others in the community, felt they had no other choice but to step up and try to do their part to keep people safe.
Here we have a tweet saying, Kyle Rittenhouse testified he murdered two men, and the network deletes straight up libelous tweet amid a brutal backlash.
Readers angrily called out CBS News for rendering its own verdict Thursday in the Rittenhouse trial by saying the defendant testified he'd murdered two men amidst protests and rioting in Kenosha.
While he's been charged with two counts of intentional homicide, he's pled not guilty, arguing he acted in self-defense when he fatally shot Joseph Rosenboom and Anthony Huber.
Both Fox and Mediate reported CBS deleted its initial tweet, but the internet is forever.
Below is an image of the tweet in question, which reads, Kyle Rittenhouse testified in his murder trial yesterday, breaking down in tears as he told the jury he murdered two men in a Black Lives Matter protest last year in self-defense.
Here's the tweet, calling it, murdering two men, how outrageous.
Adams followed up with a post just six minutes later saying CBS deleted its problematic tweet and rewrote it.
The apparent new tweet reads, killed two men instead of murdered two men, which of course is right, but criticism over the blunder didn't end there.
Well, brutal backlash.
Again, a lot of Rittenhouse coverage and commentary.
Straight-up libelous, said Mark Hemingway, senior writer at Real Clear Investigations.
When you could just report the story straight up, you jumped at the chance to put in a lawsuit-worthy frame instead, said journalist Virginia Cruta.
Oh, well, then, no need for trials.
CBS News has delivered its verdict, said Dan McLaughlin of National Review Online.
Others hardly agree.
Wow!
It's article after article of blatant misinformation and outright lies, one commentator added.
Different agencies and publications like an organized effort to railroad this kid.
Apparently, the plan is to continue with these inflammatory lies until a dam breaks and widespread violence breaks out in other old pine.
Imagine the top-down control their claim is necessary to quell civil unrest.
In 2021, you were not convicted by a jury of your peers, but by a set of semi-anonymous elite journalists, social media managers who hate you, another said.
Somebody obviously forgot what happened after the media falsely accused that youngster from Covington Catholic in Kentucky.
Another offered apparently CBS had deep enough pockets they wouldn't have a problem settling with Kyle Rittenhouse for millions too.
The Rittenhouse trial has been atop the news cycle this week.
Wendy Rittenhouse, the defendant's mother, said in a Thursday interview that President Biden defamed her son by suggesting he's a white supremacist.
Joy Behar, far-left co-host of The View, mocked Rittenhouse's courtroom testimony, during which he sobbed uncontrollably at one point.
That's one of the worst acting jobs I've ever seen.
NBR superstar LeBron James Also made fun of Rittenhouse testimony in a tweet to his 50 million followers, but paid for it with scathing pushback from commentaries.
And look there at the photographs at top left.
Kyle's being kicked in the face in the second attack with a skateboard in the 30s about to be shot.
He did act in self-defense.
I have followed this case so carefully.
It's obvious this was just a frame to promote a democratic agenda.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, well, let's go back to the precipitating factor in this, and that was the Jacob Blake shooting, where he was under warrant for sexual assault, trespassing, and domestic abuse.
He had a weapon in his hand and was ordered by police to drop it.
The officer shot at him.
He wasn't killed.
He was wounded.
And that precipitated $50 million worth of looting and arson in Kenosha over the two-day period prior to the Rittenhouse event.
So there's justification for a kid thinking, you know, if there's something I can do to help save our country.
If he's not convicted, which is the way the evidence should be, and if we have an honest jury that's not intimidated by doxing by the Antifa and BML crowd, if we get an honest jury and he's acquitted, then he's certainly in the same position as Nick Sandman to go against these people that have slandered him and tried to do a mainstream media lynching.
I agree, Joe.
I agree.
And I do believe he will be acquitted of all charges.
I pray.
Carl?
And what's on display for the American public is the ongoing disgrace of corporate media pushing propaganda.
The genesis, as far as I can tell, I've discovered, is in 1917, a congressman named Oscar Calloway requested a congressional investigation of J.P.
Morgan because of information that the congressman received that Morgan had purchased the editorial boards of the leading 25 publications in the U.S.
Well, it turns out that Congressman Callaway didn't have the votes for that investigation and those same publications denounced Callaway as unpatriotic and he wasn't able to win re-election ever again.
So these lawsuits, I agree with Joe that Kyle is in the same position as Nick Sandman to be able to go after these these anti media these propaganda agencies and the American public until we have the breakthrough where the American public can withdraw their consent from corporate media and also from our judicial system and hold even if they come up with the right verdict with this one where it's not tampering the judicial system entirely as failed us so far with election fraud.
The American public need to get to the place where they withdraw consent to the extent that they're calling for the lawful arrests to stop these people from the prima facie commitment of crimes in progress.
Excellent.
Very good.
Very good, Carl.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Turley.
The media oddly missed the crash and burn of Rittenhouse prosecutors this week.
They didn't miss it at all.
National media just tried their best to report around it.
We've covered the errors and outright violations committed by Kenosha prosecutors in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, and so our readers are aware of what Jonathan Turley describes as the crash and burn of the murder case over the past week.
Most media consumers have instead been fed a narrative of judicial bias and bizarre attempts to inject race into a case where the accused, the alleged victims, and most of the witnesses are all white.
In USA Today, Turley lays out the ways in which prosecutors decap themselves and push a bad case.
They stumbled out of the gate in the trial.
Gage Grossenkrutz was the third person to be shot by Rittenhouse.
Grossenkrutz admitted under cross-examination Rittenhouse did not shoot him when he had his hands up after the confrontation.
He admitted it was only after he pointed his handgun at Rittenhouse and moved toward him that Rittenhouse fired.
Likewise, a prosecution witness, Ryan Bausch, testified.
One of the other people shot Joseph Rosenbaum and said that he intended to kill Kyle Rosenbaum.
Other witnesses described Rosenbaum as belligerent, hyper-aggressive.
The prosecution's own medical expert, Dr. Doug Kelly, appeared to confirm that the forensic evidence of the injuries on Rosenbaum's hand, soot injuries on Rosenbaum's hand, could be consistent with Rosenbaum trying to grab the barrel of Rittenhouse rifle when the gun was fired.
It got worse from there.
Including glaring constitutional violation by the prosecution from Binger began his cross-examination of Rittmaus by commenting on his decision to remain silent.
The judge correctly tore into the prosecutor.
Any first-year law student knows that you cannot comment on the silence of a Mirandized defendant after an arrest under the Fifth Amendment, let alone ignore a court order.
If you followed the case from the national media outlets, you probably missed all of that.
You'd know about Judge Schroeder's ringtone and about his dad's joke about supply chains, but not about how prosecutors inadvertently establish the necessary elements of self-defense from their own witnesses.
Turley knows that Wisconsin law provides a sturdy resort to self-defense, one which the prosecution bears the burden of proving false beyond a reasonable doubt.
Before the trial, the Associated Press pointed this out.
It allows someone to use deadly force only if necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm.
It sets a two-part test for jurors.
First, They have to decide if Rittenhouse really believed he was in peril.
Hindsight may show he was wrong, but did he sincerely believe it at the time?
Next.
They must determine if Rittenhouse's belief was objectively reasonable.
To make that call, jurors will be instructed to consider whether any reasonable person in Rittenhouse's shoes would have also felt they had no choice but to shoot.
Under that standard, all the defense needs to do is raise reasonable doubt on those points, not prove it was self-defense.
By the time the defense opened its case, prosecutors had already established, through their own witnesses, the first victim had twice threatened to kill Rittenhouse, chased him down the street, and then lunged at him to grab his rifle.
The second victim beat Rittenhouse with a skateboard.
The third pointed a pistol at Rittenhouse.
All this took place in the middle of a riot after Rittenhouse tried to get away.
Does anyone think a jury will have a tough time applying the self-defense standard under these circumstances?
The media's focus on narrative over substance will produce a very bad end, Turley warns.
Instead, the prosecution prompted its own witnesses to create layers of doubt in the case.
In doing so, it seems to have reduced the range of possibilities to somewhere between a hung jury and outright acquittal on the major charges.
The problem is many people may be unaware that the case is collapsing, Due to such evidentiary or tactical failures, any hung jury or acquittal would come as a shock, and the level of outrage is likely to be greater.
This case began with violent writing in Kenosha, and the news coverage is fueling the danger of renewed violence.
It's even worse in that some coverage has dismissed the trial as an exhibition of raw racism.
Some have criticized Judge Bruce Schroeder after he enforced long-standing constitutional principles and defended the core constitutional rights of the defendant against self-incrimination.
The narrative can overwhelm the facts.
Moreover, If left uninformed of the real legal deficiencies of the case, that narrative is likely to control the response to any failure to convict.
Turley is correct on this point.
Irresponsible coverage and narrative journalism is likely to have a real cost in Kenosha.
That was true about the coverage of the police shooting that touched off the right as well.
When media outlets neglected to focus on the fact that Jacob Blake was not unarmed in that confrontation, That police had a legit felony warrant, as well as a domestic dispute to resolve, and that he tried to illegally take his kids in the car in the middle of the confrontation, potentially setting up a hostage situation.
Had they reported that incident responsibly, the riots might never have happened at all, and two people might still be alive today.
Media outlets didn't learn anything from that.
They're not likely to listen to Jonathan Turley either, unfortunately.
Actually, with an additional, they have an update.
Legal insurrection has provided great coverage of the trial and William Jacobson underscored Gurley's point at the New York Post.
With trial evidence inconsistent with a news narrative, there could have been a major media mea culpa instead.
Headlines and framing continued that pretrial narrative, even if inconvenient facts appeared deep down in the articles.
As the editors who run these stories and draft the headlines know, many, if not most, don't get behind the headlines and opening paragraphs.
Thus, NBC News breathlessly headlines a news report about the prosecution's forensic pathologist testifying that Rosenbaum was in a horizontal position.
Suggesting the victim wasn't a threat when he was gunned down.
It's not till the bottom of the article ABC acknowledged that the expert testified the wound positioning was consistent with Rosenbaum diving toward Rittenhouse.
Left out of the story was his testimony that gunpowder residue was consistent with Rosenbaum grabbing the muzzle of the gun when he was shot, just as Rittenhouse and witnesses said.
The headline highlight of Grosenkrug's testimony, according to a Daily Beast report, was that he tried to surrender to Rittenhouse.
Similar misleading narratives frame the case at the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, and elsewhere, reading only these publications.
It would be reasonable to believe the original story of Rittenhouse as a shooter run amok, despite the trial testimony to the contrary.
From the inception of the Blake shooting to the riots and now the Rittenhouse trial, media malpractice has framed a Kenosha narrative completely divorced from reality.
Nice, nice points, Joe.
Your thoughts?
Yeah, well, rather than use the emotive term of being a white supremacist and casting this as a racial issue, why don't they look at some of the other facts?
Rosenbaum is a multi-time convicted pedophile, and he attacked... Carl.
Yeah, we lost you there, Joe.
So Jonathan Turley, he is recognized.
He has been an attorney.
Maybe they could cast the judge and defense as being anti-semitic because they disagreed with the prosecution.
The whole thing's absolutely absurd and anybody that follows this kind of narrative framing is a fool.
Joe, you're absolutely right.
Carl, your thoughts?
That's good.
That's good.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
Jonathan Turley, he was one of the lawyers who was presented in Trump's impeachment trial.
He was an attorney for the Democrats and he was one of the only honest ones at that whole ridiculous show saying that, okay, so for the first time in history, we're going to consider something that was not a crime to be the basis for impeachment.
And I thought he was very fair and balanced, and I have appreciated his perspectives for decades now.
So with this trial, the reasonable person standard of law is that Turley is correct, and that what any ethical attorney, what any ethical human being will do is allow the facts to tell the story.
And in this case, again, we're seeing such a ridiculous discrepancy between what the facts show And the spin of this evil, criminally complicit corporate media.
And all we can do is to continue to point out the difference between the comprehensive, objective, independently verifiable data and the ridiculous lies of omission and commission that corporate media continue to throw in front of us to excuse this grab into a communistic dystopia.
Yep.
Nice.
Very nice.
We have even more.
The Kyle Rittenhouse prosecutor case comes down to rioting good, self-defense bad.
If you follow the prosecution's case against Kyle Rittenhouse, the only logical end is the assertion that self-defense is almost never an option, and visiting the scene of a riot is only okay if you're there to burn property.
There are other facets to Lead Prosecutor Thomas Binger's arguments that Rittenhouse, now 18, was in illegal possession of a gun that he showed up in Kenosha the night of the violent rioting because he was pursuing danger, and he could have easily done things differently.
But the bulk of Binger's questioning of Rittenhouse relied on the assumption that unless a person has physically touched you, and unless you were at the scene for reasons not in line with others' presence, there is no reason to protect yourself with force that may prove deadly.
Rittenhouse faced charges for murders of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as the intentional homicide of Gage Groszak.
That's an attempted homicide.
It's not disputed, it's on video, that Rittenhouse shot all few and only Rosenkrantz survived.
It's also on video and backed up by eyewitness testimony that each of the three men were running after Rittenhouse, making attempts to take his gun.
Rosenkrantz, who was armed at the time himself, said he tried to grab Rittenhouse, AR-15.
Bingham played the videos, which the jury has seen multiple times already, acknowledging and questioning that Rittenhouse was being chased the night of August 2020.
But his emphasis had been that, one, Rosenbaum, the shooting of whom set off the whole episode, never physically touched Rittenhouse, and two, that Rittenhouse's presence, by its very nature, was needlessly provocative.
The absurdity was captured in one specific exchange between Binger and Rittenhouse.
Binger.
So you saw someone who was trying to put out a fire who got assaulted?
Rittenhouse.
Yes.
But if you're going to help people, Binger said, why would you expect anyone would try to hurt you?
Rittenhouse.
I don't know.
Somebody did try to hurt me and I was helping people.
Binger is apparently never prepared for an unexpected disaster.
He may not even buckle his seatbelt.
I can't be sure.
Rittenhouse testified he was in Kenosha that night at the request of a car lot owner who'd been looking for men to protect his business, which had previously suffered damage from nights of rioting.
He said he brought his AR-15 and a medic kit for the purpose of patrolling the area, In offering care to anyone injured, he said beforehand he had seen destruction done to the city where his father lives and where Rittenhouse had been working as a lifeguard.
That's why he brought the gun, in the event he needed it for his own protection.
There had been, after all, reports of physical assaults against police and a business owner, in addition to the property damage.
Binger, I asked you why you brought the gun.
You said you needed it for protection.
I said protection against what?
You said you didn't think you needed protection.
I'm confused.
Can you help me understand why you're telling us you needed a gun for protection, but that you didn't think you needed protection?
Rittenhouse, who is apparently light years ahead of Binger in IQ, I brought the gun for my protection, but what I was saying is I didn't think I would have to use the gun and end up defending myself.
Binger is presumably also confused by people who purchase home insurance.
Why do they need that unless they plan on setting their own homes on fire?
The prosecutor was equally stupid in making the case that Rittenhouse was at fault for being a place he had the right to be, but shouldn't have been.
At one point, Binger asked, You know you're running into a crowd that's not friendly to you, right?
And also, were you surprised the crowd would react that way when they saw you shoot someone?
The implication is Rittenhouse, having shot someone who was chasing him, should have known that all this was coming because he made the choice to show up at a riot.
He did make the choice, but so did everyone else who showed up to loot, vandalize, and torch private and public property.
Rittenhouse's reason for showing up to limit the damage just happened to be unpopular.
That doesn't make him a criminal.
It makes him a dissident.
When you reach the logical conclusion of a prosecution case, that's Rittenhouse's crime.
He was in a dangerous place where the rioters, otherwise known by Bringer as the good guys, didn't want him.
And therefore, Rittenhouse was the instigator.
It's preposterous.
The jury probably knows that.
Eddie Scarry, the columnist at The Federalist and author of Privileged Victims, How America's Culture Fascists Hijacked the Country and Elevated Its Worst People.
A simply excellent commentary.
Joe, your thoughts?
Yeah, Lewis Carroll had an interesting trial in Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, where the queen said, first the sentence and then the evidence.
Well, matter of fact, once you get the sentence, you don't even need the evidence.
That's exactly the way the prosecutor handled this, which is why hashtag disbar banger was read in his statements.
Yeah, I'm really shocked by this whole Demeaning of conversation in this country where people just, you know, you're not allowed to talk about things and you're only allowed to have one opinion and that one opinion is just exactly what the oligarchs want us to have.
So really disappointing.
I don't know what to say other than I pray that the kid gets nullified and is able to go ahead and sue the people who've been slandering him and this prosecutor does need to be disbarred certainly.
Nice points, Joe.
Carl?
Yeah, the critical oligarch theory is definitely trying to set up these looting and arson zones where the ordinary Americans just have to surrender that part to arson and looting, which is ridiculous.
That's another one of the reasons why people are abandoning the Democratic Party, because that is what they're pushing.
As a public school teacher, I was in teaching in Los Angeles in the riots that I believe was 1994.
And my own students' families armed themselves, put up shooters up on top of the roofs of their businesses and had others at the ground level at the doorways in order to discourage the looters.
And their reports were that, you know, looters, they just want to loot.
And the ordinary people, they don't want to mess with a gun.
They see the guys up there with guns, they see the guys at the doorway with guns, and they just moved on.
So, the defense of your own property is central, and to surrender it to these lying, weak criminals just goes against anything that any decent human being would stand for.
Oh, you're absolutely right.
And look at this.
This is a cover of the opinion section for the Wisconsin State Journal for yesterday.
Guilty or innocent.
Written house.
Wrong.
Or the subtitle is nobody should want untrained teen vigilantes patrolling with illegally obtained guns.
So I wrote a letter to the editor about this.
I found it so offensive.
I want to share it with you.
Meanwhile, we want to hear from you.
Send fan mail, pro or con, to liveneedtonowatgmail.com.
Live need to know at gmail.com.
Here's the letter.
Writing good, self-defense bad.
Editor, it's embarrassing that you've published an ideological defense of the Rittenhouse prosecution where three members of the same family, the mayor, the DA, and the detective, appear to have conspired against Kyle to deny his legal rights.
Kyle took a citizen's commitment to defend property and human rights more seriously than the Kenosha police, who stood down while looting and rioting was taking place.
He sought to provide medical assistance for which he was attacked.
A meticulous legal analysis by Andrew Bronka provides a thorough and detailed exoneration on every count.
That's why the prosecution now wants to include lesser charges.
They know they have no case.
Kyle was kicked in the face by one rioter, another tried to break his neck with a skateboard, a third admitted he had a handgun, and was pointing it at Kyle who shot him in the arm.
They, not Kyle, were the aggressors.
It's insulting for anyone to suggest that he was acting as a vigilante and patrolling with illegally obtained guns, neither of which appears to be the case.
On the contrary, Kyle's actions were heroic.
As a former Marine Corps officer who supervised 15 DIs and 300 recruits through basic training, his performance was admirable.
The attacks were imminent and deadly.
His actions were reasonable.
The media and its allies must attack Kyle because his example of self-defense is inspiring.
And he showed the world why an AR-15 might make a difference for the public good.
He deserves our admiration.
James H. Petzer, Ph.D.
And get this now.
Breaking this morning.
Judge tosses out Kyle Rittenhouse gun charge.
Breaking.
Rittenhouse gun charge is dismissed.
Count six in the Rittenhouse trial dismissed.
Turned out it was lawful to Kyle to possess a rifle at 17 in Wisconsin.
Well done, Judge.
Meanwhile, there are some who have questioned whether or not the food shortages are real.
Here they are.
They're coming.
Farmers offered $3,800 an acre to destroy their own crops.
Penalties if they don't threaten with being sprayed with Agent Orange.
That would take a decade or more to recover.
Here's another.
Farmers ordered to destroy livestock and crops.
How Joseph Stalin starved millions in the Ukraine famine.
History.
The Holodomor's death toll.
The Ukrainian famine, known as the Holodomor, a combination of the Ukrainian words for starvation and to inflict death, by one estimate claimed millions of lives.
Remember, 1% control the world.
4% are the puppets.
90% are asleep.
5% know and try to wake the 90%.
The 1% use the 4% to prevent the 5% from waking up the 90%.
Meanwhile, final thoughts.
1% use a 4% to prevent the 5% from waking up the 90%.
Meanwhile, final thoughts, Joe, yours.
Yeah, well, there's a great video about the Melbourne kill the bill rallies that were happening over the weekend.
I anticipate.
Over 100,000 people were there.
I'll put a link to that in the comments section.
And then also, there's a great video out on the tariff war.
People don't know that the real cause of the Civil War was 22 northern states with 20 million people voted to put an export tax on cotton and tobacco which was produced by 13 states with 10 million people.
Exactly two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner and this was all stage set by the Rothschild bankers who owned the northern banks and industries.
Joe, that's so important because it's the Rothschilds trying to destroy America today with no doubt whatsoever.
It seems to be a family tradition.
You're making such a great point here.
In the comment section.
Good.
Carl, your final thoughts.
Great articles, great letter to the editor there, Jim.
This is the situation that we're looking at.
The police are told to stand down.
These people who happen to be arrested are just caught and released back out there.
You have corporate media excusing arson and looting as mostly peaceful.
And somehow this crime equates to a protest trying to make it be under the protection of the First Amendment.
So the AR-15 also, that was a great point.
The purpose of the Second Amendment is for Americans to defend themselves against their own government.
And when their own government, through proxies of the media, are acting to destroy the businesses of America, you're absolutely right that the AR-15 would be an excellent choice of weapon for that circumstance, for the defense of your right to earn a living by protecting your business.
We are in a World War III.
And it has been going on for decades or hundreds of years, or I could even make the argument for longer than that.
And it is this oligarch class that, as I mentioned now, this 1% own more assets than the bottom 99%.
And we see how they purchase everything that they need in corporate media, public education, in political leadership, in the too big to fail banks, all to orchestrate a further stripping of assets Of we the people as they continue to attempt to crush us by culling the slave race through these forced injections.
So people do need to stand up.
They do need to have the facts that we in good faith attempt to provide with the need to know news and to stand for the lawful arrest of these criminal psychopaths to have any choice for a sustainable future.
Excellent commentaries from Joe Olson in Houston and Carl Herman in San Ramon, California.
I mean, it's just a joy to deal these shows with them.
We have a multiplicity of developments here, but the Democrats aren't going to get the message.
We have the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rejecting the vaccine mandate.
I expect this jury in Kenosha is going to reject these contrived claims against Carl Rittenhouse, and it's all to the good.
It contradicts the Democrats' narrative, of course, that guns are bad and Americans don't deserve their freedom, that we should all conform.
Frankly, the predictions the Democrats are going to go down hard in 2022 are going to be fulfilled.
Assuming we still exist as a nation at that point in time.
But we must be eternally vigilant.
We must get rid of these Dominion voting machines.
We have to return to paper ballots and hand counts.
The future of the nation depends upon it.
Thank you for joining us today.
Spend as much time as you can with your family, your friends and loved ones, because again, I reiterate, we do not know how much time we have left.
Thanks.
