Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program still awaiting a verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
Crowds now gathered outside of the courtroom.
If Kenosha don't get it, well, we're gonna shut it down.
Listen.
That, of course, right outside the courtroom where the jury is deliberating.
Uh does does that put a weight on the jury that they otherwise wouldn't have?
I I think the answer is absolutely positively yes.
Uh, because they know that there might be reaction to whatever decision they come up with.
Uh the media has not helped it.
Joe Biden, I mean, to have the judge have to say don't listen to what Joe Biden said uh as he rushed to judgment during the campaign in 2020.
The most corrupt part of this is the same predictable people, Democrats, media mob, rush to judgment, no due process, no presump presumption of uh innocence.
Here's the mob in the media.
Chaotic situation with somebody who's untrained with a weapon, uh, going to the middle of civilians and just looking for trouble.
And it is trouble that he found.
Acting job of the crying.
I can't even look at it.
That is one of the worst acting jobs I've ever seen.
He was I mean, the stupidity of this.
The idiot stupidity comment came from Jeffrey Tubin.
We know all about him in Zoom calls.
Uh, want to talk about untrained with a firearm.
You have the prosecutor picking up in the closing arguments, the AR-15 rifle, uh, that was uh Kyle Rittenhouse's and points the rifle at people in the courtroom, which is, by the way, uh safety 101 in firearms.
You know, then of course, he, you know, well, why would he bring a gun to a fist fight?
And then using an image from Patrick Swayze's movie Roadhouse.
Uh, some of the dumber moments that we've had from a prosecutor.
They're, of course, their lead, their star witness admitting on the stand under oath that he aimed a loaded firearm right at Kyle Rittenhouse before Kyle fired at him.
We have videotape of another person that was shot in this case killed, about to pounce his foot in his head on Rittenhouse's head right into the pavement, which would obviously cause severe bodily harm, which then brings into play this whole issue of uh the the self-defense and the laws very clear and in Wisconsin on all of this.
You know, that the never-ending narrative about white supremacy.
Um, not sure where that came from.
The three people were shot, happened to be white.
Uh the judge now has to warn everybody, yeah, be careful, don't listen to the opinions of all these people in the media and Joe Biden.
Uh anyway, and the prosecutor said, Let me tell you all the awful things that Joseph Rosenbaum did, goes over and basically he he tipped over a porter potty.
Why didn't he talk about the five kids that he was convicted of molesting, or the fact that he was in a mental institution, or the fact that, you know, we have one instance where Kyle Rittenhouse is defending himself when he's being hit with a skateboard.
That is a weapon.
That was being used as a weapon.
Or in the case of somebody grabbing the barrel of his gun and trying to rip it out of his hands.
Uh then you have, of course, the witnesses.
we have three big factors here.
You have videotaped evidence which is dramatic and shows him running and racing away from uh what looks like a mob of people that are out to get him.
They finally catch him, he's on the ground, a guy's about to stomp on his face and and push his face right into the pavement.
You know, then you have the defense uh making their final arguments yesterday, pointing out that a police detective seemed to agree that this guy came out of hiding to chase Rittenhouse, meaning this guy Rosenbaum, uh, and that the exchange took place within four feet, meaning that Kyle Rittenhouse's story, as corroborated also by others, in fact is accurate and true because he wasn't far away as the prosecution tried to contend here.
One member of uh Rittenhouse's group testifying she never saw Rittenhouse acting appropriately toward anybody.
Another witness saying that he's trying to de-escalate the entire time.
Uh I mean the the defense ripping the prosecution's case of using this enlarged photo taken from a drone video.
They it literally took them twenty hours to produce, which means it is deceptive, and they only took one separate image that was cloudy at best.
Anyway, here to weigh in on where we are with this, Greg Jarrett, uh Fox News contributor, legal uh at legal counsel, and also David Schoen, civil uh liberties attorney, by the way, he's now representing Steve Bannon in his case.
Uh welcome both of you back to the program.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
Greg, your take on closing arguments and where we are today.
Uh, the defense did a fine job of taking the jurors back to the scene in August of 2020 when Rittenhouse is being hunted down by thugs who yell, get him kill him, pelted with rocks, kicked in the head, attacked and assaulted.
One man tries to bludgeon him with a heavy skateboard, and you're right, Sean.
That is mentality if used at someone's head with great force.
Another man admits on the witness stand, he advanced and took aim at Rittenhouse with his loaded pistol.
All of this is on videotape.
It's corroborated by the witness testimony.
This is a case of self-defense.
Uh I think it's going to take the jurors a while.
They asked for the judge uh this morning to provide eleven more copies of the jury instructions, which are 40 pages, very complicated.
They've got five counts to go through.
Not an easy uh, you know, verdict to reach on all five counts, it's gonna take time.
Sounds to me like if they're asking for jury instructions that they want to follow the law, David Schoen, but I'm I I am very hesitant to ever predict an outcome.
I think the outcome based on my if if I was on that jury would be not guilty on every count.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
Nobody should be able to predict an outcome, unfortunately.
We've learned that over the years.
But uh, you know, I've done self-defense cases before.
Uh I hate to see anybody die ever in any of these cases, but if I ever had to pick the facts of a self-defense case to defend, this would probably be just about it.
It's the quintessential self-defense case.
You have a gun pointed, you have threats made, you have clear reasonable imminent fear, uh fear of imminent uh death.
Um facts are all there.
If they apply the law, he has to be found not guilty, quite frankly.
You know, we've been talking, Greg, at length about this, the prosecutors clinging to this provocation lifeline after really muddying the facts in the case, but in Wisconsin, the law of provocation states that if a defendant is the initial aggressor, that they would lose the right to self uh defense, which is understandable, uh, as long as there was credible evidence that in fact he engaged in any clear act of aggression, uh video cited by prosecutors was anything but clear.
And as a matter of fact, if he's running away, he's no longer the provocateur, and he would then again regain his right to self-defense, as you have been pointing out day after day.
That's right.
The the video tape, uh the single frame that they spent 20 hours so blurry that even the judge said I can't make anything out.
But he gave the benefit of the doubt to the prosecutor and allowed the requested provocation instruction.
Uh and that's what prompted Thomas Binger, the prosecutor, to stand up in front of the jury, a grandstanding melodramatic event, holding up the uh AR fifteen and aiming it toward the jurors.
You should never do that.
Bad move, finger on the trigger, bad move.
But what he was trying to do was imitate uh what Rittenhouse was doing in that single frame.
The problem is this single frame shows Rittenhouse House raising his left arm.
And the prosecutor raised his right arm and braced the AR-15 against his shoulder.
So he he lied about the video tape frame, as the defense attorney was quick to point out.
But then Binger was even worse than that.
He plays a videotape of Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse for nearly two blocks, and he says, There you see uh Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse.
Well, under the law, because of that, Rittenhouse has regained his right to self-defense and was entitled to defend himself.
Your take, David Schoen, on this on this well, I think it's a very important part.
I mean, the the prosecution really was clinging to this provocation lifeline, and I thought they did a very poor job as as Craig just pointed out.
You and Greg are 100% right.
And I'll tell you though, you know, the fact that you raised at the beginning of this show, these lynch mobs outside the courthouse, we just cannot continue to condone this kind of thing.
Uh it can't be that you know it's okay if a particular kind of defendant is there, but not another one.
You know, people used to be offended when we saw these things many, many decades ago in the South.
Lynch mobs literally outside the courtroom where the juries could hear them.
Um it's a s unbelievably destructive force in the system.
It's just not okay to threaten violence if you don't get the result that you want.
Well, that's true.
Uh I gotta change topics on you a little bit here, David.
Uh we've had people, for example, before be held in contempt of Congress for not fully participating uh with what Congress wants.
Some people would argue, well, Eric Holder did turn at least turned over a couple of documents.
Okay.
What about Lois Lerner?
Wasn't she held in contempt?
How many other cases have there been where people uh refuse to testify or provide information to Congress and nothing happens?
I can name two that were referred uh, and that would be for lying to Congress, and that would be, for example, James Comey and Andrew McCabe, but nothing ever happened to them.
The last time this law that they're using against Bannon was applied, according to my records was 1983.
Yeah.
And you've got four cases of 2008, Lois Lerner, Harriet Myers, Josh Bolton, and uh Eric Holder.
So it goes across the board uh in which they were referred for lying to uh sorry, they were referred for um refer refusing to comply based on a privilege claim.
Not one of them was prosecuted.
In three of those four cases, the Justice Department, uh sorry, the Congress initiated civil enforcement action.
This is a legitimate dispute of whether privilege applies to documents.
The idea that in a and and civil in that kind of court it's treated like a discovery dispute, and a judge weighs in on it and decides what's privileged and what and what isn't, or whether privilege applies.
That's what Mr. Bannon through his counsel asked for here.
He told the committee quite clearly that if the if the privilege issue is resolved with Mr. Trump for President Trump or a court orders him to comply, he would comply.
The idea that you take a layperson citizen who is relying on the advice of counsel, who got a letter from a purported privilege holder telling him do not turn over the documents, do not testify, where you have office of legal counsel uh opinions decade after decade saying that this isn't appropriate.
The idea that you then uh that it isn't appropriate to force them to testify um, or uh many of the other things that were relevant here, the idea that you charge that person then with a crime is absolutely outrageous.
And by the way, what Mr. Benn's lawyer asked for uh with the committee was simply to he would appear and have a representative of the privilege holder, privilege invoker, present so that that person could then invoke the privilege where he or she thought it was appropriate.
That's a reasonable practice.
Happens to litigation all the time.
It's not a crime, it's outrageous.
Let me get Greg Jarrett's opinion on this.
I mean, if we really want to take it back all a little further, you got Henry Kissinger, Janet Reno, Harriet Myers, Josh Bolton, Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, uh Brian Pagliano, there's a name from the past.
Uh let's see, Bill Bard, Chad Wolf, all held in contempt of Congress.
Uh nothing happens to them.
Why is Batten being singled out?
Is this uh just yet the latest case of we have one set of laws for conservatives and another set of laws for liberal democrats?
That's right, because it's Trump and Bannon.
That's that's the the obvious answer.
Banner did the right thing by hiring one of the best uh defense attorneys I know, my friend David Schoen.
So he's got a huge advantage there.
I've always believed that executive applied applies to a situation like this.
Executive privilege is when a president seeks and receives private advice.
The law doesn't say that oh, it can only be private advice uh within the administration.
That's nonsense.
Vernon Jordan, the great lawyer and advisor to presidents, made a career out of giving advice to presidents when he wasn't serving in their administrations.
That was protected executive privilege.
The same principle applies here with any advice that Bannon may or may not have given to uh President Trump.
The fact that Trump's out of office uh does not negate the privilege.
It extends beyond his presidency and it applies to people who are not within the administration.
So the law to me is squarely on the side of Steve Banner.
All percent correct.
And and how is Mr. Bannon supposed to disseminate?
You know, which is privileged, which isn't privileged, whether it applies or it doesn't apply.
He did the right thing by asking a court to weigh in if that's what's gonna take.
But you know, yeah, yes, why in this case are they doing it this way?
That's what's making me comment on this case.
It's a pending case, because attorney General Garland issued a press release on Friday saying this case is upholding the principle of equal justice under the law for all people.
That's simply not true.
It's a it's absolutely discriminatory justice.
It's selective prosecution.
It's pretty unbelievable.
Quick break, we'll come back more with our legal analyst, Greg Jarrett, David Schoen on the other side.
We'll get to your calls in the next half hour.

This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
All right, uh, we're just holding over for a second.
We'll get to your calls here in a minute.
800 941 Sean, our legal analyst, Greg Jarrett and David Schoen.
I wanted to get final predictions from both of them.
Let's go back to Kenosha for a minute here, and let's make predictions.
Prediction one is how long do both of you think or anticipate this is gonna take.
Uh And number two, where does this what's the outcome in your minds?
Uh we'll start with you, Greg Jarrett.
It's uh it's folly to predict how a jury will view things.
Um I see them as a lawyer, so maybe my point of view is skewed, but you got 40 pages of jury instructions, five counts gonna take uh time.
What I worry about are the angry demonstrators using amplified megaphones just on the courthouse steps.
Our producer there inside the courtroom says the jurors can easily and clearly hear their rants.
The judge should issue an order to have them cleared and moved away.
They can protest further away, but this is intimidation and threats on the part of the protesters to try to get the jury to convict.
It's a it is a miscarriage of justice if it influences their decision.
Well, I mean, they must hear these people outside chanting, and and I'm sure that adds pressure to the situation that they know the nation is watching.
Uh your predictions, uh, David Schoen as usual.
I have to say I agree with everything Greg Jarrett said.
Uh it's impossible to predict.
It's a long jury instruction.
I worry about a compromise.
I worry about that lynch mob.
Um, I think on all of the evidence that I've heard, the decision is clear, self-defense.
Um, you cannot convict somebody under these circumstances with the threats that he faced and reasonably felt.
The only the only vulnerability I thought he had was dispensed with yesterday, and that was the gun charge.
You would think that the prosecution would know the law before they charge him.
Uh a long gun, which is what he had, uh, is not covered under the law that they charged him with.
You know, count that as another screw up for I think this this idiotic prosecutor uh that overcharged him, desperately also wanting to uh offer more options to the jury in terms of uh ways they can convict Kyle Rittenhouse, considering that that shows to me a lack of competence in the case that they presented.
Uh but we'll be wait waiting, watching and seeing.
Uh we thank you as always, David Schoen and Greg Jarrett.
Thanks for being with us.
Thank you very much.
Always an honor.
Now, before we get to uh your calls here, let's go back to the prosecutor Binger yesterday, and you know, saying you lose the right to self-defense when you're the one that who who brought the gun.
A lot of people had guns um at that night.
And by the way, it was Kyle Rittenhouse racing away from a crowd, a mob chasing him.
He was the one that was being attacked with a skateboard.
Unbelievable eyewitness testimony.
Uh you have video testimony.
You've got you've got the star witness of the prosecution.
Then this idiot Binger mocks Kyle Rittenhouse, not sure what the purpose of that is, calls Kenosha rioters a crowd full of heroes.
Are you serious?
Did you not see what was happening in Kenosha that night?
Listen to what he said.
You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun.
When you're the one creating the damn danger, when you're the one provoking other people.
So how do we evaluate the defendant's performance as a medic that night?
Well, on one hand, uh he wrapped up an ankle and I think maybe help somebody who got a cut on their hand.
Yay.
On the other hand, he killed two people, blew off Gage Girl Skurt's arm, and put two more lives in jeopardy.
So, you know, when we balance your role as a medic that night, I don't give you any credit.
And every day we read about heroes that stop active shooters.
That's what was going on here.
And that crowd was right.
And that crowd was full of heroes.
That crowd did something that honestly, I'm not sure I would have had the courage to you.
All right, Sean is in Louisiana.
Sean, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
What's going on, my friend?
Glad you called.
Hi, Mr. Sean.
Long time listener, first time caller.
Well, welcome aboard, my friend.
How are you?
I'm wonderful, sir.
I'm I'm loading some flowers on my trailer right now for landscaping this fall.
Very cool.
You know what?
Making the world look uh more beautiful.
I love it.
Yes, sir.
I'm just glad to see people spending money during these tough times.
Well, you know what?
If it keeps food on your table, keeps you know gas in your car or truck, uh, I'll take it.
I'm with you.
Yes, sir.
Hard you're right to the point, Mr. Hannity.
Um the reason I called, I'm an eight-year law enforcement veteran here in Southeast Louisiana.
I've been trained on just about all different sorts of weapons platforms.
And I know that as of late, you know, the AR-15 has been considered assault rifle and a weapon of mass destruction when most people don't really understand that AR stands for armalite, just like AK stands for Kalousnikov.
It's not assault rifle, it's a weapon of defense.
And this young man went into support and protect these people and was attacked and used a defensive weapon to take care of himself and the people around him in the businesses he was protecting.
So I feel strongly that the reason this has been brought mainstream is simply for the fact he was using an AR fifteen and not a Glock.
You know, I I could tell you because as you I think most people know that I'm a second amendment supporter, very strong second amendment supporter.
Um the modifications that New York demands for what they quote call an AR-15, I could tell you firsthand that they're all cosmetic.
They're all mostly meaningless, but they make them anyway.
You know, that's why you have people that you know the their great cause of late seems to be well well, let's uh uh let's prevent people from buying ammunition.
I don't know if you tried to get ammunition lately, it's not easy to get.
Um you can buy it in bulk, Mr. Hannity, but I I just I want to make one other point real quick, and I want to I don't want to keep you too long.
Um during my tenure as a police officer, I carried a Glock model 23, 40 caliber pistol on my sh on my hip.
I got the same one.
I got the same pistol.
And I can tell you that I can do just as much damage with this pistol because I'm a marksman and been fully trained with it than someone with an uh armalite fifteen weapon.
And I by the way, I own that exact same pistol, and you're absolutely right.
And like you, I'm a pistol mar well, I was a pistol marksman.
I can't see anymore, and I can't I get ringing in my ears no matter how many earmuffs I put on, so I don't shoot often anymore.
Mr. Hannity, I'm I'm not I'm not gonna say this for advertising purposes, but there are um there are products made by Mantis that you can set up little targets in your home with your smartphone, and you can practice with a laser cartridge in your firearm without firing a single shot.
You don't have to spend three hundred bucks at the range, and it's extremely accurate.
You know, a buddy of mine told me about this, and I gotta get a hold of this.
As a matter of fact, I'm gonna put you on hold, and I want you to give this information to my team, okay?
Yes, sir.
Thank you for uh state it I I'll have internal earmuffs on and external, and I still can get ringing in my ears.
I can't explain it's an explicable.
So I don't go shooting very often anymore.
You know, it does bring up the listen, I do not have any financial stake in this company, and I say that every time.
I am a customer.
I pay for every single I buy them for gifts for people.
Uh, and it's called a burner gun, B Y R N A. And depending on what state you live in, unfortunately I can't get the most powerful uh what they've got are projectiles.
And I can accurately from forty feet away, fire this projectile, and when it hits a target, it explodes.
And then by exploding, it releases two pepper sprays and tear gas and incapacitates a perpetrator.
I would like to see every police department look into it as uh a non-lethal alternative for them that they can use on the on their job.
If they make a mistake, the worst case is that somebody's gonna have you know irritated eyes and not be able to see, and it it does not do permanent damage, so I am told.
You'll have to research that yourself.
But it's it's like it's like what police use already to disperse crowds, tear gas.
Police already use pepper spray.
Yes, it hurts yet, but burns your eyes.
Okay, But it incapacitates somebody.
And maybe you're a homeowner that wants an alternative.
Maybe you're afraid of a gun.
I know many people afraid to have a gun in the house.
I have mine strategically placed and I have fingerprint open safes all over the place.
And I honestly uh think it's a great alternative.
It's also if you if you've never shot before, they have inert projectiles.
You can just take it outside and I usually shoot it at my tree, one of the trees in my backyard.
Doesn't hurt the tree for you tree huggers out there.
And I like it.
And it's a great alternative.
And they keep improving it, which I love even more, and I I keep getting their new version.
And anyway, if you're interested, it's non-lethal.
I have no financial ties to the the company.
Um it's a great weapon.
We'll put it up as a matter of fact, we'll put up some videos on Hannity.com.
I've played them on TV before.
It's uh B Y R N A. And you know, uh I was offered an opportunity to invest, and I purposely did not because I I wanted to keep, you know, I I want to just be a customer is what I told them.
I want to be a customer, and I am.
I'm a customer.
Um happy with the product.
Quick break, right back to the phone.
Say 800 941 Sean as we continue.
Senator Tom Cotton at the top of the hour.
Sean Hannity.
All right, as we continue with your calls, then we'll check in with Senator Tom Cotton uh at the top of the hour as we continue.
Uh let's say hi to uh let's see, Diana is in Missouri.
Hey Diana, how are you?
I'm fine, how are you?
I'm good.
I'm glad you called.
I'm glad to.
You know, I was just kind of thinking about that cancel culture, and it's always like uh who is in charge of that?
It's like like like matters and there's somebody's in charge.
I know it's like all through the social media, but like who is the person that makes uh people uh cancel stuff is my answer, I guess.
Well, I mean, you've got you got all these different groups out there, all these people that have their you know different agendas.
Uh it's sad actually.
You know, for example, you had this recently I don't know anybody that I mean that it's crazy.
I don't know if you saw the Dave Chappelle special on Netflix that created such an an outcry.
Um if I don't understand this part of it, and I I've been the subject of getting the crap kicked out of me by late night comedy hosts many um so many times.
It doesn't bother me.
I could care less.
But you know, the worst part is if they're trying to make fun of me and they're not funny.
And a lot of these guys have become so political, they're unwatchable.
You know, I look at Colbert, Fallon, or Jimmy Kimmel, it's just their ratings are so low, it's like 70% lower than when Letterman was battling Jay Leno.
That's how low they've gotten.
And and in large part because they're just not funny anymore, and they're so political, and they're so triggered by the name Donald Trump.
Um I like to watch Chris Rock.
I like to watch Dave Chappelle.
Uh do they say outrageous things?
Yeah, they do.
And if that's going to offend you, you don't have to watch the show.
And and usually they're equal opportunity comedians.
They they go after everybody.
They're not going after people, they're going for the for the for the laugh.
They're going to make you crack up.
They're saying things on purpose to shock the audience and make the audience laugh.
If we can't do it with humor, we're we're just done.
Freedom of speech is is finished.
And do I think Dave Chappelle should be canceled?
No.
If you don't like his show, turn it off.
It's that simple.
You don't have to watch it.
Everybody knows he's a comedian and a very gifted and talented comedian, just like Chris Rock is.
You know, I want comedians to have the freedom to go there.
Go anywhere.
And and if if if I'm the target of it, go for it.
I just, you know, I don't want to live in a country where you can't go, you know, just say fun, outrageous, crazy things.
Oh, but it hurts people's feelings.
Then don't go.
It's just like, you know, I've never supported a boycott.
I never will.
I've never supported canceling shows, I never will.
I'm not doing it because I don't have to watch or listen to anything.
And neither does anybody else.
There are more options, more choices than than we've ever had as a country in terms of what you turn want to watch, the programs you want to watch, what you want to listen to.
Does that make sense?
I'll give you the last word.
I mean, what is right now making it such a, you know, what's what's going on?
Well, I think there's an effort to like look, for example, look at the case in Loudoun County, uh, Virginia.
You know, look at the memo of the Department of Justice.
You know, the willingness to use the FBI to look into parents yelling at school board members.
Uh, as far as I know, that's been happening for decades.
And that that is something obviously that local police can handle.
You know what they did to this father, uh, apparently it turned out that his daughter was raped, according to reports.
Uh in a in a bathroom, and then the superintendent denying any knowledge of it, but the police corporating, there was a full-fledged investigation.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean.
Good call, Dan.
Appreciate it.
800-941 Sean is a number if you want to be a part of the program.
Quick break, right back.com.
