Justice Prevails! Kyle Rittenhouse Found Not Guilty.
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
In society, people taking it on their own to carry weapons and to protect themselves, others, and property.
As a general statement, I wish we didn't.
The police did nothing in almost every city.
Where we have had, I don't know, hundreds of millions of dollars of damage done by rioters in 2020. It's not an attack on the police.
It's either true or not true.
That police generally did nothing.
That's why there was so much chaos and damage and destruction.
What happens when you have anarchy is there are people who will take order into their own hands.
That is as inevitable as the sun rising tomorrow that people will not accept or some people will not accept anarchy.
Anarchy is the left's great friend because they love everything they do is chaos.
There are no men and women.
It's a spectrum.
That's chaos.
Everything they do leads to chaos.
Had the police confronted rioters, and I'm being very precise, not protesters, rioters in the various cities in the country?
People can't set up in front, what was it, Portland?
People can't set up their own little city and then Seattle and get away with it?
And be armed to make sure that nobody disrupts their little utopian or really dystopian town?
What do you expect people to do?
How many businesses were destroyed by rioters?
In the original Kenosha riots.
I don't know the answer.
I'm just asking.
So I was reading the New York Times.
I always like to read what the left has to say.
The jury appeared to accept Mr. Rittenhouse's explanation that he had acted reasonably to defend himself during demonstrations in a case that fueled debate over gun rights and vigilantism.
Why don't we have a debate over riots?
I think that would be a good thing to have a debate about.
Let's see what CNN has to say.
I get a big kick out of this.
Rittenhouse not guilty.
Let's see.
where would they have a summary?
Yeah, look at that.
Here's their...
I'd like to read to you how the CNN lead article reads.
I'm just doing this live.
I couldn't read this and the New York Times during the break.
Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty on all charges.
And what's under it?
Two minutes ago, it says.
Family of Anthony Huber, one of those killed.
There is no accountability for the person who murdered our son.
The family of Anthony Huber, one of the men who was fatally shot by Kyle Rittenhouse during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last summer, said in a statement that, quote, there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son.
Right.
So then they have their statement.
I actually, I would be interested in reading their statement.
Today's verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son.
It sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street.
So the people who came to stop violence are the people who incited violence.
Are they proud of their son?
I guess they are.
There it is.
Look at that.
I asked the question.
Look at the last paragraph of their statement.
And we are so proud of Anthony and we love him so much.
He is a hero who sacrificed his own life to protect other innocent civilians.
We ask that you remember Anthony and keep him in your prayers.
Look, I don't expect parents to say anything.
Other than this, but I did want to note that that is the featured article or featured paragraphs in the CNN report.
1A Prager 776. Jacob Blake's uncle reacts.
This is CNN 2. I mean, it is so remarkable.
I mean, this is even worse than the New York Times.
The next one, well, the next one is how long the jury took to deliberate.
That's a grand total of about ten sentences.
Jacob Blake's uncle reacts to Rittenhouse's verdict.
this isn't the United States we used to live in.
If you actually study the Jacob Blake killing, at the very least it's morally ambiguous.
The idea that the police shot a man for no good reason is a lie.
It's not fair to truth.
Forget the police.
It's not fair to truth.
And that they shot him because he's black, there is no basis for that.
There was a child in the car.
They feared he would take away the child, that he would kidnap the child.
He was grabbing a knife.
What are the police supposed to do?
I don't know the answer.
It's an open question.
What are the police in an ideal world?
What should the police have done?
Yes.
I'm just happy that he doesn't have, Kyle Rittenhouse does not have convicted of manslaughter or convicted.
Of third-degree murder or whatever they would have, even if it would be overturned by the judge or overturned in a court in a second trial.
Okay, 1-8 Prager 776 is the number for a whole host of...
Of issues that you might want to raise.
This is the open line hour.
Stephen, Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Hello.
Dennis, how are you?
Okay.
