Ladies and gentlemen, we know Christmas is coming, but before Christmas, the gathering of patriots requires your attendance.
Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, myself, Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, Roseanne Barr, Yeah, that's right.
Rob Schneider, James Lindsay, and so many more are going to be at this year's Turning Point America Fest, December 16th to 19th, 2023, Phoenix, Arizona.
You are going to be there.
Your presence is required.

Don't come crying to me when this thing is sold out like it does every single This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host Jack Posobiec.
Deliver us from evil!
President Biden is offering to testify at a public hearing as part of the impeachment inquiry into his dad.
That's according to a letter from his attorney.
The approach that we're taking with Israel, and quite frankly with our partners in the region, It's getting aid in to people that need it.
It's getting a pause in the fighting.
It's getting hostages out.
It's getting Americans out.
What, in your view, is the war risk of the ceasefires, which may continue for a lot longer than four days or six days or 10 days, if Hamas keeps dribbling out hostage releases?
The risk here is losing the operational momentum.
It's no secret that Hamas is using this time right now to regroup, rearm, rest up.
Joe Biden is now a product of Hamas terrorism psychological warfare.
At least three explosive devices were detonated near Israeli troops in two different locations in the northern Gaza Strip, potentially violating the framework of the current ceasefire.
Hospital waiting rooms, especially in Beijing and China's north, are full of kids sick with respiratory infections, including pneumonia.
The surge in illness made headlines in China and set off alarm bells abroad.
The good news is, it appears the cause is run-of-the-mill winter bugs.
Wade County Sheriff's Office released their motel video of Stephen Hovanec and an undercover officer during a human trafficking sting November 15th.
During his arrest, he claimed that he was at the hotel to get a massage.
Deputies say his interaction with the undercover officer raises questions about that claim.
I really would ask people to try and avoid connecting crime with migration.
It's not right.
In a country of 5.3 million people, if you have hundreds of thousands of migrants, there are going to be a few of them who commit terrible crimes.
Just as there are people born and bred in Ireland who commit terrible crimes every day.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Washington DC.
This is Jack Posobiec.
Look, I got a question for you guys.
Does anyone actually think that Hunter Biden is worried about the House GOP?
Guys, he's laughing at you.
He's going full heckle.
And here's why.
Nobody's scared of you.
Nobody's scared of walking into the House GOP the same way they weren't scared that Hillary Clinton wasn't scared of going into the Benghazi hearing for 12 hours.
I don't recall.
I don't recall.
Blah, blah, blah.
Sure, you got that meme.
You got the good meme out of her.
I'll give you that.
At this point, what difference does it make?
Alright?
I'll give you that.
But, no one is scared of the House GOP.
Hunter Biden's saying that he's laughing at you.
He says you're not going to do it.
You're going to give him, what, a severe tongue lashing?
You're more likely to give him a tongue bath.
And then you've already got congressmen out there saying that Biden won't be impeached and saying that he won't be removed.
So what, you're just going to give away the game?
All right, well, you know, better luck next time.
This is why people view the Republicans as the Washington generals.
And quite frankly, I'm sick of it.
And I've been told that my comment about this this morning, Raise some consternation on the hill?
Good.
It was intended to.
Because you need to strike fear into the heart of the enemy if you ever expect to accomplish anything.
And so now we hear this, they're all a bunch of Nikki Haley's because now, oh, Americans for Prosperity, they're gonna put all these millions of dollars behind Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley's gonna come in and she's gonna make neocons great again.
She's gonna be Dick Cheney in heels over there like she's gonna walk around like she knows what's up when she's talking about in the name of George Floyd.
Nikki Haley, you gonna campaign in the name of George Floyd?
Are you gonna tell us all about systemic racism?
Are you gonna tell us how you're a woman and how being a woman and a child of immigrants really shapes your view on America?
Don't make me sick.
Don't make me sick, because I'm looking at you.
I said, you know what, Nikki Haley?
You know what, Americans for Prosperity?
Bring it.
Look, we've already made Ron DeSantis set hundreds of millions of dollars on fire, and if you want to set another couple of hundreds of millions on the bonfire, then by all means, because we will take every single one of your Coke dollars and we'll set them on fire right in front of you.
In fact, we'll use your own Coke oil to do it.
Because at the end of the day, we'll use Halliburton oil, too, just in honor of Dick Cheney.
We'll maybe even put a couple of pairs of high heels on there just to make Nikki Haley feel like she's at home.
So, please, if you want to run, I'll see you out there.
I'll see you out there all day long and twice on Sunday.
You name the place, you name the occasion, I don't care.
We will take all contenders.
We'll take every single one.
Nikki Haley, who says that people can't use their own real...
Nikki Haley says people should use their real name while they're on the internet.
How about Nikki Haley uses her real name when she runs for president because she walks around using a name that's not the name her parents gave her?
Well, Nikki, here's a question for you.
Are you going to show up?
Because if you really want to do this, I'm more than happy.
I think it will be fun.
I think it will be exciting.
So please, Nikki.
Show up.
I'll see you all there.
And to the AFP guys, enjoy it.
Because these dollars are going to be the last ones you see.

Alright folks, there's a lot to be nervous about out there.
Open up social media, turn on the news, and all you see these days, crime, social decay, a lot of people just run out and buy a gun, and then it sits in a safe, and if there's ever an emergency, they're not going to be prepared, and run the risk of hurting themselves or others.
There's no way around it.

Wanted to bring on now Julie Kelly.
So, Julie, I was just pre-taping an interview with the great Steve Gardner that's going to come out later on YouTube later this week.
We really got into these tapes about January 6th.
I wanted to get your sense of it.
We've got these new videos released.
There's a lot out there.
For my money, I would say, though, that it feels nice to be vindicated on the fact that, as Raheem Kassam and I have been saying since literally the moment we saw it, that that crowd was completely peaceful.
You know, you can make these pedantic arguments about whether or not they should have been on the stairs.
They're climbing the stairs aggressively.
That they were completely peaceful until the police opened fire with those flashbangs.
That that's what riled up the crowd.
The crowd then began surging and responding.
That's what certainly incited the violence.
That's what started that happened that day.
And look, I happened to be walking down Constitution Avenue at the very moment that those flashbangs went off.
We saw the crowd beforehand.
We saw the crowd after.
So we could see, obviously, it turned what at that point had been.
Sure, you know, you could say they were protesting.
You could say they were demonstrating, but they were not violent.
They certainly were not violent until that moment.
So, Julie Kelly, love to get your take on that and just everything else.
The new release of the Jan 6 tapes, which, by the way, I should say kudos to you.
One person banging the drum all along for these tapes to be released.
Well, thank you, Jack.
And thanks for always covering my work and having me on.
You know, I just think more broadly, the release of these tapes and what people are seeing is shocking to them.
Because this totally contradicts the very carefully constructed insurrection narrative that was formed not just by Democrats, but, of course, a lot of establishment Republicans, the January 6th Select Committee and the corporate media.
These are tapes, of course, you saw a lot of this in person as it was happening.
I've seen a lot of these recordings over the past few years, whether it's surveillance video or body worn camera footage or just open source footage.
So the American people are really shocked at two things.
Number one, seeing people walk into the building with police standing right there.
But I think more importantly, the numerous instances of police brutality, really uncalled for.
To your point that incited the crowd, And then prompted a lot of the clashes between protesters and police that people have seen kind of on a nonstop loop since January 6, 2021.
There's a lot more to be seen.
That's body-worn camera footage I actually recorded on a few months ago.
I think in a lot of regards, Jack, the body-worn camera footage by DC police shows a lot more than the surveillance video.
But I think combining the surveillance video with body-worn camera footage gives a much fuller account Of everything that transpired that day.
Yeah, there was a clip, and maybe you can explain it to us more.
I saw it this morning.
I wasn't able to dig into it too much.
I know that we put it out at Post Millennial, where they've actually taken the body-worn camera footage, and I guess spliced it together with picture-in-picture, one of the CCTV footages, where you can see, so on the body-worn footage, you can see a police officer striking one of the, and I guess you can say protester.
The guy's just walking through.
It looks like he's actually walking out of the Capitol in this video.
And then on the CCTV footage, you really can tell that this guy is following orders, he's complying, he's walking out, and we're playing it now, he's walking towards the door.
You could see him walking towards the door peacefully, and then he's beaten by an officer.
Just, you know, I know that's one instance, but it really is one of these glaring things that you could see from, you know, obeying the velvet ropes to being beaten by officers while you're on your way out, struck in the back.
Yes, I have recalled, described January 6th, the biggest incident of police brutality since the civil rights era.
And that is true.
The behavior of Capitol Police and especially D.C.
Metro Police.
If this were a left-wing demonstration or these were mostly white police officers beating up on black protesters, we would have people in jail.
We would have civil lawsuits filed by the Department of Justice.
We would have protests in the streets.
Instead, these two police departments, despite, and that's just one incident that you're showing, they did this to women.
They beat Roseanne Boylan.
They suffocated her.
She died because of excessive force by police.
They beat another woman, Victoria White.
I took an interview from her in 2021 with surveillance video that showed DC Metro beating her over the head repeatedly.
They dragged her out of this tunnel.
She was half-clothed because of what they were doing to her in this tunnel and dragging her outside the building.
So these are just a few instances, Jack.
These police departments have received presidential medals.
They have received congressional medals.
Celebrity January 6th cops like Mike Finone and Harry Dunn and Aquilina Ganel, who've lied under oath about what they experienced and what they did, have gotten book deals.
They've gotten CNN gigs.
They're going to the courthouse.
To give victim impact statements to try to result in excessive prison sentences for January 6th defendants.
This is a huge cover-up of police brutality on a broad scale.
There's a lot more to be shown, by the way, not just surveillance but body-worn camera footage.
Furthermore, Jack, most of the injuries that we hear about, 140 police officers, they were injured by their own fellow officers.
They were gassed by their own officers on the west side of the building.
Probably where you walked up and saw the first launch of stun grenades and flashbangs.
They were dousing people with tear gas in 18 mile an hour winds that was just kicking back to their own officers.
That's what resulted in the fall of the police line on the west side at 2.30.
And that's how then you saw people going into the tunnel.
You saw people, of course, they were breaking in in other areas.
But that is what police did.
Friendly fire, injury friendly fire that then left the building unprotected and vulnerable in numerous locations.
Well, and it's amazing too, Julie, because not only are we piecing out, and of course, that friendly fire, to be clear about what you're saying here, that these friendly fire incidents were not chalked up as friendly fire incidents, they were blamed on Jan Sixers.
These injuries, These attacks, these incidents, were all blamed on Jan Sixers because we're told that it was Trump supporters who did all these things, it was Trump supporters who caused all these injuries.
I'd be interested to see if Brian Sicknick had received a dose of tear gas as well, which I think is something that I can clearly extrapolate from what you're saying there, given that we now know that he had certain Tendency to be susceptible to that, maybe, you know, something that, you know, should have come up in during, as a guy who had been in the military, that's the type of thing that you're supposed to self-report when you go for medical.
If you don't report something like that and you're faced with one of these situations, obviously it turns out this way.
And so it's not only that, as we've seen these attacks referred to again and again by judges, by these injuries, by judges, by prosecutors, et cetera.
And we found that it turns out that they were friendly fire incidents.
They were not conducted by Trump supporters in any way.
And at the same time, I'm glad this piece of body cam footage comes up right now as I'm talking, because, and for those listening on the audio side, what you're seeing is one of the flashbangs being armed and prepared to be thrown into the crowd.
But if you look behind that, you can actually see the police line.
And Julie, when I'm looking at this police line, people are just kind of standing around.
You know, they're holding the line, but you don't see anyone pushing.
You don't see anyone shoving.
It's very peaceful.
You can see somebody's on his phone.
Someone's like kind of standing or looking around.
Again, There just wasn't violence before these munitions were thrown, the non-lethal munitions.
And I've been to BLM riots, I've been to Antifa, I was at the Freddie Gray riots all the way back in 2015 in Baltimore.
You usually have something that's called the escalation of force.
That is procedure in these incidents.
Where you would have calls over megaphones, over speakers, telling people to disperse, declaring that something has been called unlawful, anything like that.
In this instance, we have none of those, and Julie, you've reported and pointed out that they lied under oath about this.
They absolutely did, and aside from sort of the first violent breach of the exterior lines, and of course that was the bike rack by Peace Circle, And that was where Ray Epps was and Ryan Samsel when they first knocked over the bike racks and knocked over Caroline Edwards, the Capitol Police officers there.
And then they all sort of bounded up towards the west side of the building.
There were some other altercations with police there.
That happened around one o'clock.
Donald Trump was still speaking, as you know, at the Ellipse.
So there was sort of a small crowd, the Proud Boys, a few of their informants, Ryan Samsel, Ray Epps, etc.
Who kind of initiated the first violent exterior breach.
But as people were walking towards the west side, and of course that's a place where people were walking from the Ellipse towards the Capitol building, they first assembled on that west side grounds.
And I've been told, and we see this on video as well, but I've been told repeatedly over the past few years, as people approached Capitol Hill, they could hear these explosions.
They could see people walking away who had been doused in tear gas.
They were throwing these devices just indiscriminately into the crowding, Jack, as you know.
That violates every use of force or mob control rules.
Metropolitan police repeatedly violated their own rules of conduct.
Yet, I don't think a single officer has been fired or demoted or reprimanded for what they did.
So, you know, that's just some of the information now coming out.
They flipped the entire narrative after the Summer of Love, the defund the police movement.
They flipped the entire thing so they could blame it on Trump supporters.
Don't tell me for a second that this wasn't used for all the political capital benefit that they could.
Julie Kelly stays with us.
Stick here for the Events Daily.
You know, they talk about influences.
These are influences.
and their friends of mine, Jack Persovic.
Where's Jack?
Jack, he's done a great job.
All right, Jack Persovic back live.
Look, folks, the world is in flames.
Bydenomics, we know.
It's a complete and total disaster.
But it can't.
It ain't going to ruin my day, and I'll tell you why.
Because I start my day with a cup of hot America First Blackout coffee.
America First Blackout coffee is 100% America.
Let me tell you something.
Blackout coffee is committed to conservative values, unlike some other coffees out there.
From sourcing the beans to the roasting process, customer support and shipping, they embody true American values and accept no compromise on taste or quality.

All right, Julie Kelly, I think it's time.
Now, we need To get into the question of Officer Brian Sicknick, who, and I'll just say from the start, that by all accounts, Brian Sicknick was a patriot who served his country honorably and was a good guy.
He was a good guy who was doing his job and got caught up in all of this.
We were told, we were lied, that Trump supporters beat him to death with a fire extinguisher.
We were told this over and over.
It was repeated on all the late night shows.
It was repeated on all the mainstream media.
Bill Maher said it again and again.
Later came out that he died from blood clots.
And that apparently he was prone to blood clots, a fact that somehow escaped his medical screenings.
And, you know, look, I've been in the military.
Sometimes if somebody's good, you just kind of, you slip some stuff under the rug.
Just to be self-reported.
What actually happened with Brian Sicknick?
Because when you're talking about this Friendly Fire and specifically the use of tear gas, it just triggered something in my memory regarding his medical history and regarding the incidences that led to his death.
So to your point, Brian Sicknick, he was on that west side of the Capitol that we were talking about.
I believe he was a bicycle Capitol Police officer.
He's a veteran by all accounts.
And I talked with one of his friends routinely.
Seemed like a really decent guy.
And the way that his own family has exploited his death, his ex-girlfriend, Sandra Garcia, I think her name is, they had broken up six months before he passed away.
She is suing Donald Trump and the two men who allegedly sprayed Brian Sicknick for a wrongful death lawsuit, seeking $10 million each.
Sandra Garza, excuse me.
It's really, really shameful how his own loved ones have exploited his death, his untimely death, 41 years old.
To your point, we were told that he was bludgeoned to death by a fire extinguisher.
That was an account in the New York Times posted on January 8th of 2021, not true.
The autopsy, delayed autopsy, then confirmed that he died tragically of a stroke caused by, or two strokes caused by, blood clot near his brain.
Don't know what caused it.
You know, was he one of the early takers of the COVID vaccine?
No one seems to answer that question.
Was he prone to it?
It's just one of those unfortunate things that happened.
But there's no way to link any use of pepper spray to the stroke.
And the coroner never said that.
He said it to the Washington Post.
He didn't put it in his report, I will note.
But look, the spraying of brine cygnic, and you can see this happen around 227, 228 on January 8th, coincides with the misfiring of DC Metro Police Officer Rich Corey's canister of gas.
And they had these canisters of gas all over.
He misfires.
Instead of the canister going up into the scaffolding where he was told to aim it, it misfired, hit the ground where a bunch of police officers were.
Then all this gas starts coming towards the winds were coming out of the northwest at about 18 to 20 miles an hour.
And so it started emanating down this line, including where Ryan Sicknick was on the south side of the west side of the Capitol, if that makes sense.
So you could see all of these officers being gassed.
They were vomiting.
They couldn't see, they were trying to get, you know, sharing water bottles to get the gas out of their eyes.
That's what prompted the fall of that police line.
Not protesters attacking police, as I said, police misfiring gas and blowing it into a crowd with the gas coming right back at them.
This possibly, and I have video that shows this, possibly did hit Brian Sicknick.
But he was later seen walking around inside the building with no ill effects of either the gas from his own officers or any protesters.
And unfortunately, he collapsed later that night, was rushed to the hospital and died on the 7th.
So a tragic situation, probably avoidable given the really bad behavior of especially D.C.
Metro Police.
We are told that there were internal investigations into police misconduct.
We have not seen Any of those reports and of course just another aspect of January 6th completely ignored by the January 6th Select Committee and the corporate media to this day will not cover police misconduct on January 6th.
Well, I think this really raises a lot of dangerous questions because, again, I mean, not to belabor the point, but we had a January 6th committee in this country that was supposedly conducting an investigation for two years.
And I don't recall any of this information coming out.
I remember hearing stories about Donald Trump somehow overpowering his own Secret Service agents and trying to drive the presidential limo, the beast up the steps on January 6.
And my favorite fan fiction of that is that right at the same time, Clarence Thomas ran over and grabbed his RV and said, I'm coming, Mr. President.
We're going to take these ridiculous stories that came out of Brian Kingsley crying.
And yet when we just what I see you doing, though, Julie Kelly, is that you're looking at the footage and you're following the facts and you're talking about things like the aeration, the firing, the munitions, the policies that the police forces.
Why is it that we heard none of this and saw none of this from the Jan 6 committee itself? - Thank you.
Well, as I said, because they wanted to cover up police brutality that day.
I really think Brian Sicknick's story, the fabricated story about his death, was intentionally planted to cover up the deaths of four Trump supporters that day.
Of course, the fatal shooting of Ashley Abbott, the deaths of three others.
Kevin Greeson, Benjamin Phillips, and of course, Roseanne Boylan.
Three of those, at least two we know, were due to police excessive.
First, Roseanne Boylan, smothered and gassed in that tunnel, then beaten by Officer Lila Morris.
And then Benjamin Phillips, who was hit with one of those stun grenades on the west side.
And you have first responders who were interviewed who said they weren't sure what caused it.
Was it one of these explosive devices?
Well, the DC coroner did all the autopsies.
He cremated all of the bodies without permission from the family.
So we won't really get any more answers out of that.
But I think the Brian Sicknick story was planted to cover up those deaths and to cover up what police did.
January 6th committee has only shown protesters being violent with police.
They did not see what had happened an hour or so before that finally got protesters so livid at what cops were doing.
And look, I was in a courtroom in February covering the Proud Boys trial when a Capitol Police officer on the stand under cross-examination admitted that when they started firing rubber bullets into the crowd, the crowd, quote unquote, exploded.
And she got, the defense attorney got her to admit.
That the way police acted was how, that is what got the crowd so enraged.
You saw that firsthand.
We have the videos.
Now we have confirmation by Capitol Police that yes, that is indeed what happened.
Which, and Julie, just to go over it again, because you'd think this would be something that was done in a courtroom or a court of law where we're investigating this, were there ever any calls from the speaker system, from megaphones, from scaffolding, any of this?
You know, I know that one of the guys gets up there and starts calling people to go in, we can't even find out how that guy's name is, but were there any calls for people to disperse?
There were some.
But it wasn't from this huge PA system that apparently... Flip on the ground.
Exactly.
I think it was just on the ground.
Maybe people using bullhorns.
I'm not sure.
And that's one thing that people need to look into more.
And I know that there's been some recording as to why that PA system was not being used.
Of course, there were alarms sounding off at the doors that were open.
But for most of these people, and they've testified to this, and they've told investigators this, and they've said it in trials, look, police were standing right there.
All of the signage, as you know, had been torn away, even by people we still don't know, who are unidentified, who tore away that snow fencing on the west side.
All of that signage had been removed.
So when people left Trump's speech at 110, by the time they got to Capitol Hill at 2 o'clock, it's what, 1.7 mile walk?
You're in a big crowd, people are taking their time, it's a little cold.
Get there.
All the signage had been gone.
If they were on the west side and police were doing certain things on, if they were on the east side, you saw also on the east side, very lax police security.
So of course there were breaches.
I mean, Don Pizzolo took a ride shield and he broke a window and people crawled through there and opened the door on the Senate side.
So that's not to say that there weren't violent acts that enabled the physical breach of the building.
But by the time other people got there, say 2.50, 3 o'clock, someone like Matthew Perna, he's on the east side, walks into the door, walks through the door, there's police there.
They didn't know they were committing a crime.
And I'm going to tell you, there are prosecutors, who you know, Who insists that the reason police stood there and didn't arrest anyone is because they were so overwhelmed, they didn't have the manpower.
By 3 o'clock, 2.30, that is a lie.
You see D.C.
Metro and Capitol Police standing all over the place.
They weren't even trying to arrest people.
They were telling them to leave the building.
They were not overpowered.
They certainly had the ability.
Had they started arresting dozens of people, the other people would be like, oh, I guess we're not supposed to be here.
Let's leave.
This was, in many cases, ineptness, excessive force, incompetence, but also enabling people to go in who later then were, of course, raided by the FBI.
Julie Kelly.
We've got Kyle Rittenhouse coming up right after you.
Where can people go to follow you?
All my work is at Declassified with Julie Kelly on Substack and Realtime Investigation All right, the great Julie Kelly.
Make sure you go follow this, Julie.
It sounds like you got another book out of just this material right here.
Kyle Rittenhouse joins us next to talk about his book, "Equipment." - I'm buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office and trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Posobiec. - All right, ladies and gentlemen, I think our "Equipment." - I'm buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office and All right, ladies and gentlemen, I think our next guest needs no introduction.
Ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Rittenhouse returns to Human Events Daily, and guess what, folks?
He's got something for all of you this Christmas.
Kyle, what do you got for us?
Well, Jack, thank you for having me on, and I'm releasing a book called Acquitted.
You can order it at RittenhouseBook.com and pre-order it.
We're going to be shipping it very soon.
That's what I've been working on, and that's what I've been up to.
I have a book coming out.
That's amazing.
You know, I remember actually talking to you, I forget if it was last year or earlier this year, and I said, boy, I would love if next Christmas I could get a Kyle Rittenhouse book to be able to give to people on Christmas.
And now, boom, here it is.
Yeah, last year at AmFest, we were talking about it when we were doing the Christmas special.
- Favorite Christmas special, yes. - That's a memes of lunchbox and dinner.
And now here we are, we have the Kyle Rittenhouse book and I said, "Jack, yeah, we'll try to get a book out." - You literally, on this program, we did.
It's a Merry Christmas, Kyle Rittenhouse.
And we asked you to do a book and you promised the Human Events audience that you would have a book out for next Christmas.
And now, boom, here it is.
What can I say, folks?
When Kyle Rittenhouse takes aim, he always hits his target.
So Kyle, what was it like?
Tell us the process of writing this book.
I mean, obviously, you know, I'm sure the events that you go through are You know, some of the some of the least, you know, the least positive events that have been in your life.
But what was it like kind of reopening this story and going back to those those events?
Well, there was definitely a lot of moments that were hard in it.
It's an as told by Michael Quincel and helped me write it and going through long late nights with Michael.
Talking about it, it's kind of difficult.
It was hard to like rehash everything in detail, sort of like my testimony all over again.
Just hammering out all the details of what happened, and not just what happened, but of my entire life.
And so when you went through that process, did you ever, did you actually go back and watch?
Cause of course your trial was, um, was live streamed.
It was, it was public because you know, people have said, well, how come we can't see any of these Trump trials where those are all federal, um, for the most part.
And so, you know, you can't go back and watch them.
Did you actually go back and sort of, or have, you know, have you since then really gone back and just watched it cover to cover?
Yeah, I haven't watched it cover to cover, but I've gone back and I watched testimonies.
The other day I actually watched Ms.
Grisgroot's testimony and I compared it to his frivolous lawsuit that he filed against me and just watched how he admitted on the stand that he had a gun but in his lawsuit complaint doesn't mention the fact, I don't know if it was by omission or negligence, that he didn't have a gun on him and I thought that was a pretty big deal that he admitted that in the testimony but not against his complaint in his civil lawsuit.
Wait, wait, so this is Antifa Gage.
This was the person who, and just to point out just factually, we can see on video points a nine millimeter handgun at you.
Then he filed a lawsuit against you over what happened afterwards when you defended yourself.
And now he doesn't even admit, which by the way, he does admit.
And this was actually one of the key issues.
And I'm sure you bring it up in the book.
This was one of the key moments of the trial where the prosecutors put Antifa Gage on trial, on the stand, I should say.
the same way you, of course, and it was controversial at the time that you would take the stand, that you also later took the stand, that when he was up there, he basically indicted himself by admitting that he pointed the gun at you.
This was one of the biggest moments of the entire trial, I thought.
Yeah, absolutely.
That was a breathtaking for the entire courtroom, just to hear him say yes after Corey Shroffsi, one of my attorneys, questioned him on it, and after going down like four different rabbit holes of him not admitting that he had chased me down and after going down like four different rabbit holes of him not admitting that he had chased me down and saying he didn't point a gun at me, we were finally able to get him to admit he pointed a But
Well, and that's the thing, and I've gone through, you sent me a copy of the book, and I've said it at the time as well, that it's the fact that this incident is one of the first incidents, I would say, and you're going to see more of this ever in history,
That was captured completely on social media from almost a 180 or even 360 degree view where and of course we later find out that the FBI had a secret plane above you know the entire time that they didn't want to tell us about or certainly share with you until right here on this program we leaked it.
For the first time ever and then it was able to be introduced but the fact the matter is that you can actually go and track Gauge you can track any all of the individuals that were involved here You can track yourself through the entire night all the way up until that incident whether it's through Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or any of the various different streaming platforms that are out there and The role of social media in this case to me is just absolutely fascinating.
And tell people how it was going through and kind of digging into that aspect of it.
Well, it's crazy because everything was on video.
There was like not a single moment of that night that was not filmed.
So going back through and just seeing how many people were out there, how many people were chasing me.
How I was put in a situation where I was forced to defend myself based on video camera made me realize that if there were no cameras there, and I've said this before, if there was no cameras or no independent journalists, it would have been my word against the mobs and I would have probably been convicted based on mob rule.
Well, and unfortunately, I have to agree with you because when I saw what those prosecutors were willing to do, even with the footage, going to the point all the way of actually editing the footage, they claimed they were enhancing the footage, they were actually editing pixels to make it look like you were pointing a gun at people, which you never did.
And in fact we went through and proved that they used this basically AI sort of a rudimentary form of AI video enhancing pixel enhancing to make it look as though you were pointing your gun up when actually that was your shoulder and you were pointing or your elbow and you were pointing your gun down.
down at low ready which was how you look in every single other you know picture and video from the entire evening other than this one magical picture that they tried to introduce altered evidence into the trial to try to put you away for life they were willing to go to that yard so if there wasn't which by the way that video was if I remember correctly from the FBI tape
And so, if that was the only piece of evidence they had, if that was all that we had here, and we didn't have the independent media, and it was the mob's word, and the FBI's word, which by the way, the FBI agent, and maybe I'll ask you this in about a second, after the break, you know, I think that it was that video footage that everyone can just watch again and again, and they gave it to the jurors, and the people of Kenosha sat there and said, look, You know, we may not like this situation.
You know, I'm sure you didn't like that situation.
Nobody wanted that situation to take place, but it happened.
So let's go through and actually give a fair shake on these, you know, on this night.
And at the end of the day, what you had was a corrupt town leader, a corrupt town government that attempted to put their failures and the blame of the riots and the burning of Kenosha on you because they wanted to turn you into their Absolutely, that's 100% the case.
I remember during the trial, you mentioned them dehancing videos.
that you would be an easy target by separating you from everybody else.
That didn't work.
So then the town government tried to target you as well to then once again, target you and put your, put their blame all on you.
Absolutely.
That's 100% the case.
I remember during the trial, you mentioned them de-hancing videos.
I remember we found on Lunchbox's computer, turn 88 crowds for people who don't know who Lunchbox is.
You can see his head in the corner of the screen.
They still put Lunchbox down there, I'm told.
Yeah, that's what I hear, but you can see on his computer through the Court TV livestream that he had Handbrake installed on his computer.
Well, what is Handbrake for people who don't know?
It's a software used to essentially de-en... like...
to alter photos and videos. - Right, so it was, I think it was originally like a DVD kind of thing where you could take DVDs and put them on your computer, but the idea, but then it later became video editing software that can enhance, that can use AI, it's got different functionality.
And so, and really it's made for changing, you know, different transcoding.
So it's open source and you can take, you know, change an AVI to a, you know, an MP4, that type of thing.
But it's clearly designed for this.
And then he went in there in court and said, he did no idea what it was.
He had no idea how that happened.
He was not familiar when he's got handbrake and you can see it on the video itself.
Folks, the book is acquitted.
Kyle Rittenhouse is both the author and subject of the book.
You've got to get yourselves a copy.
It's Rittenhousebook.com.
Kyle will continue with us.
We've got one more half of this interview.
Stick around because this could happen to you or your son next, and you need to understand the country that we now live in.
Stay tuned.
This is the book you want this Christmas.
Alright, Jack Posobiec back live.
The book is acquitted.
The author is Kyle Rittenhouse.
He needs no more introduction.
Kyle, when we're looking at this, The role of, because, you know, your case, and I tell people all this all the time, they say, you know, whatever, that was just one incident.
That was, you know, that's something that happened in Kenosha.
Why should I care about this?
Why should I care about some, you know, some case?
Even, you know, even if we do support the Second Amendment, you know, why does it matter that I should care about what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse?
Well, my case was crucial to the Second Amendment.
If I was found guilty, Second, Second Amendment in this country would have been dead.
There would have been no self defense.
There would have been no defending yourself.
They would have used that my case to prosecute a bunch of other people and throw them in prison just for defending their lives.
And then I think it tells an important story about my life saying I'm just like, saying that I'm a normal.
I was a normal kid who not normal, but I grew up in like subsidized housing and that I had struggles as well.
I had a drug addict dad and it wasn't easy growing up.
And I think that really reflects with most Americans today.
Oh, and certainly there's a lot of issues where, you know, people talk about the, you know, sort of the unsung issues of the Midwest.
Of the South in many areas, remember, but, but Kyle, well, hold on a second though, you know, because you're white, so you, you must have white privilege, right?
So you just, you know, you just kind of show up to college and you show up to the jobs and they just hand everything to you for free because, you know, cause you're white, right?
You know, there's no white people don't have a, you know, a hard upbringing in this country because we have systemic racism.
And, and by the way, that's, it's, it's interesting that you bring that up because I think that's another aspect to this because your background, as you say, Yeah, absolutely.
It's not.
I grew up homeless.
Like I said, I had a drug addict dad and I had a mom who was working 80 hours a week.
class, the privileged upper class when it's like, no, that's not your background at all.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's not.
I grew up homeless.
Like I said, I had a drug addict dad and I had a mom who was working 80 hours a week.
It was not easy to, it wasn't easy growing up.
And that story, look, that story could be repeated by so many people out there across the country that people like guess what folks It ain't the 1980s anymore.
It ain't the 1990s.
It's tough out there.
There's people that are going, regardless of your race, right?
Right?
Regardless of your race, there's people that are going through struggles.
And just because you happen to be, you know, of one skin color or another, that doesn't mean you're better or worse.
That means that you're facing stuff and you got to deal with it.
And now all of a sudden because we saw this and unfortunately we saw this play out in 2020 because when we were all under lockdown when we were all told that we couldn't go out and they started locking down the churches and putting the you know putting padlocks on church doors.
Who was allowed out?
It was the BLM protesters, the rioters, the looters, and in city after city, nobody was willing to do anything about this.
And then so, you get these people who, and you've gone through it, and I've gone through it as well here on this program, those people that hit Kenosha that night, they weren't even from Kenosha.
They were all coming up from Chicago, because they had already picked it clean, and then they saw that Kenosha was about an hour north.
So, oh, we're going to go hit this little town too.
You had a literal gang of marauders Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, I remember from Discovery that there were, like, U-Hauls.
I think you talked about it before, but there were, like, U-Hauls being delivered into Kenosha that the police were stopping, filled with a bunch of equipment to burn the city and loot and riot and a bunch of, like, weapons such as bats and pallets and bricks.
Right.
And it's it's completely insane.
The whole world turned upside down.
That was number one.
And then so you and a group of other people wanted to protect businesses.
You wanted to make the town, which and I've been to Kenosha.
Kenosha is a great town.
I love the cheese curds.
I absolutely love the cheese curds and I actually will like, will like make any excuse to go up to Kenosha, you know, hit that Mars Cheese Castle, man, just anytime I can because that's just like, that's, that's the home.
I tried to make them at home.
I'm not going to get into it, but it wasn't quite the same as when I get the cheese curds in Kenosha.
A Philly guy trying to make cheese curds.
I'll stick to cheesesteak, right?
But I'll just have to keep going up to get them right.
But at the end of the day, what matters here, and I've said this, and it's not just your case, it's many cases, because the left in this country realized that they couldn't get rid of the Second Amendment because it is in our Constitution and it's It's just in the DNA of Americans at this point that we have a culture of protecting ourselves, of protecting our towns, protecting our homes with the Second Amendment, with guns.
And so what have they done?
They've taken the next step and they said, okay, we're not going to take away your guns, but what we'll do is we'll criminalize the right to self-defense and we'll take away your ability to use a gun to defend yourself.
This is something that the Bolsheviks would do in the Russian Civil War.
If a criminal uses a gun, well, we don't talk about that.
Antifa Gage, Gage Grosskreutz, hasn't even faced any justice whatsoever for pointing a gun at you.
They said, oh, well, you know, he thought you were a bad guy, so it was okay for him to point a gun at you.
Absolutely.
You, a citizen that was using your God-given rights to defend a town, you get the book thrown at you because they're trying to strip that right away from law-abiding citizens.
That is why this book, Acquitted, is so important for everyone in America to understand the current situation that we're in.
Absolutely.
If it wasn't for, one, the Second Amendment, two, a fair and unbiased jury, I would have been thrown in prison and the video evidence.
It's...
There are a lot of situations that are happening in left-leaning cities.
I just saw in Los Angeles a homeowner defended his life with a firearm.
They revoked his CCW permit for exercising self-defense.
They are trying to strip our rights away from us every single day and people are sort of letting them do that.
No, Kyle, I think you're exactly right, that you see this same pattern play out in city after city, locale after locale, and in places where they get these George Soros-type prosecutors in, it's almost a complete wash.
Just one more time, because I know you've got to run, we're about hitting the end of the show here, where can people go to get a copy of this book?
