(00:42):
Gage cross Courts. We the jury find the defendant Kyle
Kyle H. Rittenhouse not guilty here. All right, there you
have it, not guilty on all of the charges. We
have been through this again and again and again in
spite of the you know, nobody wants to pay attention
to what the actual law is. Some sad news that
(01:04):
I see that all over Twitter people are calling for
unrest tonight, rioting tonight. I saw one one piece of
information showing that there are planned protests. I'm sure they're
a peaceful because that's the way the medium mob and
the Democrats describe the summer of twenty twenty riots is
(01:24):
peace mostly peaceful. Meanwhile the city's ablaze behind them. I mean,
you can't even make this up. Dozens of Americans died,
thousands of cops injured, rocks, bricks, you know, molotov cocktails,
you name it, they threw it. Laurie Lightweight, the mayor
of Chicago, is saying we must respect the verdict and
(01:48):
then goes about trashing the verdict. Part of the irresponsible
comments that I outlined in the last half hour. We'll
get to your calls this hour eight hundred nine for one, Shawn,
you want to be a part of the program. We
bring in our legal panel, Greg Jarrett, David Jone and
Leo two point zero. Terrell, Leo, your reaction to the
verdict today. It's everything that all through, all four of
(02:11):
us said, if we followed the law and the facts
and the evidence, the video evidence, the eyewitness testimony, the prosecutions,
you know, star witness also we expected, based on the
law that it should be a not guilty verdict. Well,
you're absolutely right, and I want to commend Fox because
you've got people like Greg Jared David, myself, Turley Macarth,
(02:35):
that you got people giving you legal analysis where the
facts fall. And I think we've done a great job.
MSNBC and CNN should should take a lesson. They should
watch us, because we did a very good job on this,
we analyzed the fact. I think it was very telling
when I heard the Rittenhouse attorney said that the prosecution
forgot its obligation for justice and all they were in
(02:58):
for was winning, and that's not the job of a prosecutor.
The legal system works, notwithstanding the mob outside, notwithstanding Joy
Read and CNN and MSNBC. Now, we got a couple
of idiots, Sean, and I'm sure you saw those tweets
by the Blasio and Cuomo. They're idiot. They had this
hitting agenda, want to tear down our legal system, the
(03:21):
best legal system on the planet, and some I'm happy.
I'm happy for our legal system as a lawyer for
thirty years, and I want to get cal Rittenhouse some
good advice. You have a damn good lawsuit against Joe
Biden for declamation. First thing, I said, the first person
I would sue would be Joe Biden, and I'd work
my way down from there, Greg Jarrett, we predicted all
(03:42):
of this if the law was followed based on the
evidence presented in the courtroom. This was not going to
be a very difficult decision. It was a no brainer.
But once again you have the usual suspects rushing to judgment,
are not allowing the evidence to be presented. Due process,
presumption of innocence all gets thrown out the window for
(04:05):
political convenience. If Americans actually watched the trial and did
not listen to the biased, hyperbolic coverage on MSNBC and CNN,
then they understood completely they not guilty verdicts on all
criminal charges. The witnesses, the videotape footage, all of it
corroborated the account given by the accused when he took
(04:27):
the stand and relived how he reasonably feared he was
in imminent danger of death or grave bodily injury. That
self defense. Jerst didn't believe the prosecution's anemic argument that
the defendant provoked the encounters and forfeited his right to
defend himself. That was a crock. What saw in her
(04:49):
was a seventeen year old being targeted and hunted down
by an angry crowd, shouting get him, kill him. He
tries to escape, He's pelted with rocks, kicked in the head, assaulted, attacked.
One rioter threatens to kill him and grab his gun.
Another tries to bludgeon him with a heavy skateboard. Still
another advances and takes aim at him with his loaded pistol.
(05:11):
Only then did Writtenhouse exercise his right under the law
to defend himself. That's exactly how the jurors saw it.
Let's get your take, David Chong. Well, give you a
couple of quick points. Case. The tragedy all around for
many reasons, but it's an example of the system working
except for the prosecutorial misconduct, which should be subject to sanctions. Well,
(05:34):
let's stop there for a second. Let's talk about that.
Because we had two motions for mistrial, one with prejudice,
one without prejudice. Now briefs were are expected, I assume
at some point by the judge, and I would assume
that the judge may sanction the prosecution or worse, perhaps
(05:55):
what are the judge's options in this case, Well, he
can file disciplinary charge. Gonna referre to the bar for
disciplinary charges. I think he's probably gonna let it go.
But you know, the one thing I want to point
out to you, I think really must be pointed out.
You had courageous jurors who put up with the abuse
outside the courtroom, the threats implied and expressed. They spent
twenty seven hours over four days. They considered all of
(06:16):
these accounts. They were presented with lesser included defense offenses.
They rejected all of that. And people take a lead
from their leadership. You mentioned the unrest to have the
president candidate for President United States now President United States
refer to this as white supremacy was reckless, irresponsible. They
asked him on Friday if he would take that back.
(06:38):
He refused to answer. That's why I say this case
is a tragedy on so many levels. This is a
quintessential self defense case based on all of the factors.
Leo and Greg mentioned, that's why the system worked. But
the courageous jurors really deserve great deal of credit here.
I think, yeah, that's important. What do you what do
(06:58):
you expect now as a bolt of all this Leo
two point z roll. I mean, if you look on
social media, the things that are posted, lends itself makes
me believe that there's probably going to be agitators in
different locations tonight. And and honestly, the fact that we
(07:19):
never followed through with the five hundred and thirty four
riots in the summer of twenty twenty. We had so
much video evidence of people, you know, the billions of
dollars in damage from arson and looting, people on video
throwing bricks, rocks, bottles, molotov cocktails at police officers, dozens dead,
(07:41):
thousands of cops injured. The fact that we don't have
a Liz Cheney committee for that, we don't have an
investigation into that. And in most cities where these riots
took place, very few if any people were charged, even
with videotaped evidence because John de Sean very easily. Those
are Democrats, those are crafts riotings, and they're not going
(08:01):
to convict their own. I mean, let's be clear, the
Democratic Party basically approved of all that. You know, you
didn't mention Kamala Harris funding though the Minneapolis Bell Fund.
These were Antifa Black Lives Matter that made up the
base of the Democratic Party, and they justify those riots
and arsonists. And what has happened is that they're right
(08:23):
now allows to steal roaming these democratic cities. I think
the next twenty Farishan is going to be very, very killing,
because if there's any type of protest, it's being encouraged
by members of the left. Like I said again, if
you saw Cuomo's tweet today, if you saw the Blasio tweet,
they don't accept the legal because they don't accept the
verdict of all people. Cuomo, the disgrace governor, send me
(08:45):
out a tweet questioning the verdict. I'm telling you there
are people who make a living, a living off of
racial division and dissension, and that's on the left. Let
me ask all of you, as attorneys, what possible lead
goal action that Kyle Rittenhouse can take. Now, Interestingly, I
have Nicholas saman on Hannity tonight nine Easter, and we
(09:06):
know that he's already settled with a number of big
news organizations, and I got to imagine the amount is
probably very high, of course, for the non disclosures. Now
my question is, does Kyle Rittenhouse have a case against
Joe Biden, Greg Jarrett. Does he have a case against
these people in the media, those people that said he
(09:28):
was guilty, those people that called him a white supremacist
and worse. Yes, I wrote a column about an hour ago,
and I make that very point. At the end of
the column, it says that Rittenhouse will forever be tainted
by the false accusations leveling against him. He should now
sue all of those who slandered him, including a guy
(09:48):
with the name of Joe Biden who defamed him as
a white supremacist. What about be what about all these
people on TV? Yeah, and I make that point as well.
And he looked. All you have to do is to
the coverage from MSNBC. They characterized him as a white supremacist.
(10:08):
They outright called him a domestic terrorist who was acting
as a mass murderer with unmistakable racist overtones. Joy read
mocked the defendant for his white tears. All of this
is reprehensible at the very least, But it's hard him
in a false light, and that's actionable. But wait a minute,
(10:30):
but it's hard to prove slander and libel. But he's
not a public figure, is he? Just because the figure
he's a private citizen. He was a private citizen and
he did not inject himself into the public arena. By
joy He was a private Susan And these assertions are
assertions of fact, not protected opinion under the First Amendment.
(10:53):
So when Joe Biden calls him white supremacist, he's asserting
a fact that can either be proved or disproved, and
it can be easily disproved us. It's slanderous, it's actionable.
What's your take, David, shown does he have a strong
case for libel slander against these news organizations and Joe Biden? Well,
(11:14):
like you said, these cases are always difficult, but I
think Greg and Leo are both right. Remember Joe Biden
when he did it, he made it clear he used
it for commercial and political purposes. Remember he used it
to advance himself. He used it to advance his candidacy,
and he made no mistake about it, knowing by the way,
that there was no evidence. I have to tell you though.
You know many of the news services, NPR and others
(11:36):
are calling for civil suits by the families against Kyle Rittenhouse. Well,
I mean, well say that again, David. Oh, yeah, the
NPR and others are suggesting the families are very upset
by what happened, and they should sue Kyle Rittenhouse civilly
and they'll face a lesser burden of proof in those
kinds of cases. Well, by the way, you do know
that they that Jerry Nandler is now calling on the
(12:00):
the politicized Department of Justice to look in a civil
rights violation. Leo, oh god, I'm DeLine. I'm telling you Sean,
you know what, Jerry Nadler should be a sham of
the stuff, should not be charged with the juice. Well,
why is that not double jeopardy to me? He just
got acquitted. Why is that not double jeopardy? Well, there's,
first of all, those are state charges. There federal charges.
(12:21):
The civil has a different track than the criminal system,
so there's an argument that he could be brought up
on federal charges. But come on, that's not gonna happen. Well,
you know what, and this I think it could happen.
Greg go ahead. Well, you know the alleged victims there
were no victims at all because they were the attackers
(12:41):
are white and the defendant is white. That's that's an
enormous stress of saving vibes civil rights. But it's classic Nadler,
who is yeahs a bucket of hair. Last word, David, Sean,
go ahead. I don't know if you can top that
but go ahead. Yeah, no, I can't top that. Listen.
(13:01):
I wish the whole thing would go away at this point.
I think the country should have learned a great lesson
from this. Self defense is a vital American principle within
the criminal justice system. Again, this case is a textbook
case of the quintessential use of that defense and the
system working. It's a tragedy because lives were lost. It's
a tragedy because of what happened to Kyle whitnow's, as
(13:22):
you said, his life will never be the same again.
And he's a seventeen year old kid, he's now eighteen.
But yes, do the right thing. Thank you both, Thank
all three of you for being one of us. When
we come back, we'll hit the phones. Eight hundred and
nine one. Sean is our number. All right, we're gonna
take calls for the rest of this hour. At the
(13:45):
top of the hour, we'll have the coverage on the
media of the mob and how wrong they have been.
We check in with Cheryl. Well, hang on, let's say
how to Chris and West Virginia. Hey, Chris, how are
you glad you called? Hey Sean, I'm a brother from
another mother. Man, It's been about four years since I
got to talk to you. How you, oh man, how
are you my friend? Welcome back? Glad you called. I'll
(14:06):
tell you what I was doing great there when when
Trump first got in, we were a little sketchy, but
that he took over and everything was good and happy.
Then Biden took over, and here I am back to
square one, right where I was when I called in
the first time. Listen, We're gonna win again the country.
We see the disaster of socialism. But we have less
than a minute. I want you to get your comments.
(14:27):
So my point is, the whole reason I gave you
a call was because I wanted to see if Kyle
Rittenhouse actually had the ability to shoe Biden himself idiot.
But since you just talked to Larry and all of
them guys, it just come to fruition that you know
he does have that capability. But I just wanted to say,
first off, if he does have that capability, I wanted
(14:48):
to take Biden. I think he should take the Blaws Yo,
and every single one of them guys and girls out
there that put his name out there, this Glass team,
take them for every time they can getting shown to
day just can't step up and let us and say no,
you're pushing too much. Listen, let me tell you something.
I think this is very simple. All these people that
are wrong all these times, it's time that they get
(15:10):
held accountable. And you know, we have Nicholas Samman on
TV tonight. I think you're gonna like it. Listen, Chris,
don't wait four years call me sooner. When we get back,
we'll get right back to your phone calls, and then
we'll we'll render our verdict on the media mob's horrible
coverage straight a hut. Continuing the mission of saving America.
(15:44):
As we return to the Sean Hannity Show right twenty
five now till the top of the hour, Kyle Rittenhouse
not guilty all charges. We'll get into the media irresponsibility
at the top of the next hour. Joe Concha is
going to be with us, as well as Kara Roth.
All right, Lucas Implarida apparently disagrees with me. Let's put
(16:04):
Lucas on. What's up, Lucas, how are you well? And
thanks for taking my call? Um? Yeah, I actually I
do agree. Politicians should kind of like, you know, wait
a minute, see what happens, and then maybe make a
comment that's a little bit educated. I hope it though
that you would give the same treatment to Trump on
his comments with the central part five. I think that
(16:26):
they're just as deplorable as what Joe Biden's were. I
don't recall. I don't recall what I don't recall. Hang
on a second, not a real call what Trump said
and when he said it? H do you know the
specific timeframe? A. Yeah. He took out a full page
ad saying that they should bring back the death penalty.
Those guys ended up being acquitted of all charges and
(16:46):
the city had to pay forty million dollars plus in
damages to the ones who were wrongfully accused, and he
never apologized, never took it back. Well, what's so, what's
your take on Joe Biden rushing to judgment on on
the case of Kyle Rittenhouse and referring to him as
a white supremacist the same thing. I think that there
it's deplorable. But I'm telling you, like you have to give,
(17:09):
you have to give equal treatment, and Trump is just
a guilty and not apologize. I just don't remember the case,
so I can't comment intelligently on it. Look, I mean,
was he did this happen when he was president or
before he was president? I'm asking an important question. Did
he say it was before president? Listen, I don't like
people let me, let me speak generally without knowing what
(17:32):
so you're saying he wasn't president. There's a certain weight
that you have as a president. And this is something
that Barack Obama did over and over again, whether it
be the Cambridge police acted stupidly or trey Von could
be my son, or the rush to judgment and the
media all the time. My general rules and I speak
(17:53):
for myself here, Lucas, is this. You know, there's a
reason we have been vindicated on the Trump Russia collusion
steal dossier, FISA application not verified, unverifiable. There's a reason
we've been right on Treyvon and George Zimmerman, on Ferguson,
on Baltimore, on UVA, on Duke Lacrosse and all these
(18:17):
other high profile cases. And the reason, and starting with
Richard Jewel in my life, is that I don't rush
to judgment. I don't and I wait for the facts
to come in and then I make a determination based
on the evidence and the facts, with the belief that
people are innocent until proven guilty. I believe in the
presumption of innocence, and I believe that that that we
(18:40):
don't do that anymore. And as a result of this,
when people rush to judgment before any evidence is presented,
we see the consequences now. Because I did my leg work.
For example, I mentioned Ferguson, Missouri, I had multiple sources,
many people that confirmed and operated for me that there
(19:01):
were multiple eyewitnesses that just happened to be African American
that confirmed that confirmed Officer Darren Wilson's account about Michael
Brown reaching into the car to try and get his
gun and Michael Brown charging at Darren Wilson. Now, this
whole hands up, don't shoot the thing that was perpetuated
by the media that didn't have facts. In the case
(19:24):
of Duke Lacrosse, I actually went to the home of
some of the families, met some of the kids, met
their parents, and I knew that they were building exculpatory
evidence that would prove that they weren't anywhere near the
location at the time of the alleged incident. So you
know what happens is whether it be Baltimore or whether
(19:45):
it be Ferguson. What happens is is when people irresponsibly
rush to judgment, or irresponsibly, in this case, the President
of the United States calling this kid a white supremacist.
You know, especially in that position, it's irresponsible, and the
media's coverage equally irresponsible. But I think what's going to
happen more and more is what happened with Nicholas sand
(20:09):
Richard Jewel got wealthy, but he lost his life, Lynn
Wood claimed, and I don't doubt it that the pressure
of being accused of being a terrorist destroyed him. Nicholas
Sandman is going to be a very wealthy kid. He
already has had settlements with major news organizations. And I
think Kyle Rittenhouse has a very good case of slander
and libel against Joe Biden and many other members of
(20:30):
the media. I can only speak for myself, and as
much as the lessons that I learned in the Richard
Jewel case of not rushing to judgment have served me
well in my career, where I usually turn up being
right when everyone else is wrong. I did make an exception,
by the way, in the case of George Floyd, he
got a guy handcuffed begging for his life, please, sir,
(20:55):
you know, etc. Anyway, I'll give you the last word. Yeah.
My main point of calling though, was I forget the
media for a second. Like it's starting to get the
it's becoming a very tired argument. But my point is, well,
you know what, no, no, no, it's not it's not
a it's not a tired argument. When there are consequences
(21:15):
to the irresponsible comments. It's not it's relevant. We talk
about family values all the time, especially on this program.
I'm a parent, you're a parent. What is a seventeen
year old doing with a with an AAR fifteen at
a protest, like, regardless of it's self defense or not.
(21:38):
The point is I would never ever let my child
and I would know where they are because she didn't
even know where he was go to an event. Listen,
I do do I what? I hang on? I got
your point? What I advised my kids to be there
in an environment where we know what's going on, what
had happened prior to this now for whatever reason, now
(22:00):
we know it was he was involved in removing graffiti.
We know that he went there to help people that
were injured. This all came out in testimony. We know
that he was asked to help protect this, this car dealership.
Would I advise anybody when when crowds like that gather
and many people were armed. If you remember it wasn't
(22:23):
just him. Remember he had a gun point it right
at his head? Um, Would I advised my children to
be there? I would not. On the other hand, it's
that's not what you based this ruling on the bay.
The ruling is on whether or not the law of
Wisconsin was applicable in terms of self defense. And it
(22:43):
was clear the evidence was overwhelming in terms of video evidence,
witness testimony, and and much more, even the star witness
of the prosecution. The issue of whether he's there, he
had a legal weapon, whether you like the law or not,
like many other people armed there, I I personally would
(23:05):
try to avoid an area like that at a moment
like that. That's my own personal view. But he acted
within the law and that's what was what was on
trial here, and this is why the jury came to
the right conclusion. Here. I'll give you the last word
again one more time. Yeah, it just the event should
have never happened. Well, the rioting that took place, the
(23:28):
five hundred riots over the summer or twenty twenty shouldn't
have happened. I agree with that too. I agree with
that too, Sean. But well, what wasn't that I agree
with But I'm telling you, a seventeen year old with
an air of fifteen should never have been protest like this.
It should have never happened. Okay, and all the other
and all the other people that were there too shouldn't
have been there as well, based on your definition. But
(23:50):
you know what, we do live in a country where
we allow freedom of a speech, freedom of expression, and
it was a legal weapon based on the law. And
this case was decided on the rule of law. And
that's just a simple slam dunk. Anyway, I do appreciate
the call, Cheryl, Indiana. Oh that's right. I forgot Sarah
Carter's in Kenosha. I'm busy. I'm doing a show here.
(24:14):
I have no work, Sarah. Thank you for being well us. Sara,
are you hey? Thanks Sean, thank you for having me on.
I was listening to your conversation. It's the same conversations John,
that are happening here in Kenosha, right here on the ground.
You know, I was. I was talking to some young folks,
actually citizens here in Kenosha who are really concerned, you know,
they say, look, we're on our social media or social
(24:35):
media's blowing up right now. People are saying they're going
to come to Kenosha and burn it down. That's what
they're seeing on social media. And that's a real concern
for people of this community who already been torn apart,
whose community has been ripped apart last year, you know,
during the riot. And you're right, people do have the right,
you know, to come and to protest. We saw that
(24:57):
in front of the courthouse. Thankfully, it didn't devolve into
anything worse than what we have already seen over the
past week, which was pretty calm. Right now, there's not
a lot of people in front of the courthouse. Definitely
more journalists more pressed than there are people. But there
are talks about protest sparking in Chicago maybe tomorrow night,
(25:20):
or people coming from out of town. I think the
important thing to understand here, it's like what happened with
Kyle Rittenhouse. There's a lot of young people, there's a
lot of people moving people in certain directions. We've seen
that with the media. We've seen people you know, basically
charging Kyle rittenhouse before he even had a trial, presuming
(25:40):
him guilty before he even had the trial. A lot
of people here now are saying, look, we waited it out,
we had a jury, we had a trial. This jury
was very thorough. It's over now. Let's move on. Let's
not make this any worse than they already has it.
Sarah Carter will be with us tonight. Please be careful, Sarah,
(26:00):
it's you know, tensions are running very, very high. I've
been reading the same sweet Baby James has been printing out.
Uncle James has printed out a lot of the the
very same things. We appreciate you being there, and the
great coverage will go to you often throughout the night
tonight as things are unfolding. I hope nothing unfolds. I
hope the city's peaceful. Yeah, Sarah Carter reporting for us.
(26:25):
Cheryl is in Indiana. Hey, Cheryl, glad you called. Hey, Sean,
Shelvin got didn't have much time. I had three points,
but the main one was that a lot of this
I put at the feet of the government. Had they
started taking care of these riots back when the looting
and the burning and the killing and all that was
going on, when it was suppsedly peaceful protest, perhaps it
(26:47):
would not have gotten to this point. Listen, I missed
the first part of your statement. What'd you say? Okay,
I said, I lay this a lot at the feet
of the government, because had they gotten involved back in
twenty twenty, when all these quote peaceful protests were going
on in people burning things and killing people, perhaps it
wouldn't have gotten to this point. I think that's a
(27:08):
great point. I mean, we watched police departments stand down.
We watched city blocks being taken over and called autonomous,
chaz chop, summer of Love, spaghetti, potluck, dinner zones. We
watched precincts burned to the ground. We watched the media
call rioting peaceful, mostly peaceful. We watched Democrats ignore it
(27:31):
most of it because they didn't want to anger their
base that was probably mostly involved in those particular riots.
They only care about the one where they can bludgeon
Donald Trump. That's the only one that's getting an investigation.
Prosecutors have not followed through and charged people that we
have video evidence of committing crimes. There's a lot of you. Yeah,
(27:53):
as I say, I do think, I do think that
Trump was a little bit there too, but I don't
think he could have. Either way he went, he was
not going to be happy. They're not going to be
happy because if he had stepped in, they would have
said it was overreach, and he not stepped in, they
would have said it was cowardice or whatever. But I mean,
somewhere along the line, there should have been a decision
made that when weapons start coming out and people start looting,
(28:16):
and people start burning and assaulting people, that's not a
peaceful protest, not at all. And if you see on
fake news CNN or MSTNC, it could actually see, you know,
cities burning behind the reporters, it's mostly peaceful, like the
city's ablaze and dozens died and no wesles Cheney on
the commission. Can we ask Liz Chenny's office where whether
(28:38):
she's gonna have a commission on this anyway? Thank you,
Cheryl eight hundred and nine for one Seawn. If you
want to be a part of the program, Uh, let's
say hi to Mike Is in South Dakota. Hey, Mike,
how are you any Sean? Thanks for having me on.
Thank you, sir, I got a quick a couple of
quick questions free here, you know, We've got that unknown
mail on video kicking Kyle Rittenhouse in the head. And
(29:02):
then there's the guy that was shot in the bicep,
the guy that wasn't killed, admitting the under oath on
the stand that he pointed his loaded firearm at Kyle Rittenhouse.
Are these two guys going to get church? That's assault
and aggravated assault in my mind. Interestingly, it's gun safety
(29:23):
one O one. You never ever ever point a gun loaded, unloaded,
think unloaded at anybody unless you plan on using it
in self defense. That's the rule. For the prosecutor to
do it in the courtroom was mind numbing to me.
And you're right. The testimony of the star witness of
(29:44):
the prosecution admitting that he pointed a loaded gun at
the head of Kyle Rittenhouse. I was blown away. Now
should he be charged? Probably in not allowed to point
a weapon at somebody like that. Do I think that's
going to happen? No. Interestingly, if Kyle Rittenhouse was, as
(30:07):
Joe Scarborough said, on a shooting rampage, firing sixty bullets,
then he would have been killed. But he only fired
one shot, and that one shot I think I believe
hit him in the bicep and which stopped the threat
and he didn't fire again, which tells me he wasn't
out to kill anybody, but just defend himself. I think
(30:28):
it ended up helping him, not hurting him. Looks And
if people were held accountable by the law, did be
a long laundry list of people, first of all, just
starting with libel and slander against Kyle Rittenhouse, everybody that
called him a white supremacist, everybody that lied about what
(30:49):
he actually did. I think could be subject to a lawsuit.
The three attorneys we had on David Shoon and Greg
Jarrett and Leo two point zero Terrell, they all agree
with me too. And we're going to look at the
media's reckless coverage when we get back, and more of
your calls coming up eight hundred and nine one Sean,
you want to be a part of the program, Brian
kill me Row also say we'll get his take on
(31:10):
it coming up later. All right, when we come back,
the media, the mob, their culpability and can they be
sued for the reckless statements they made about Kyle Rittenhouse.
If you're just joining us, not guilty on all charges.
Full coverage tonight on Hannity as well our final Hours
(31:31):
straight Ahead and your Call is also coming up.
The defendable rises faced the jury and hearkened Towitz verdicts

the information. Joseph Rosenbaum. Jury find the defendant Kyle H.

Anthony Hubert. We the jury find the defendant Kyle H.

(00:42):
Gage cross Courts. We the jury find the defendant Kyle
Kyle H. Rittenhouse not guilty here. All right, there you
have it, not guilty on all of the charges. We
have been through this again and again and again in
spite of the you know, nobody wants to pay attention
to what the actual law is. Some sad news that
(01:04):
I see that all over Twitter people are calling for
unrest tonight, rioting tonight. I saw one one piece of
information showing that there are planned protests. I'm sure they're
a peaceful because that's the way the medium mob and
the Democrats describe the summer of twenty twenty riots is
(01:24):
peace mostly peaceful. Meanwhile the city's ablaze behind them. I mean,
you can't even make this up. Dozens of Americans died,
thousands of cops injured, rocks, bricks, you know, molotov cocktails,
you name it, they threw it. Laurie Lightweight, the mayor
of Chicago, is saying we must respect the verdict and
(01:48):
then goes about trashing the verdict. Part of the irresponsible
comments that I outlined in the last half hour. We'll
get to your calls this hour eight hundred nine for one, Shawn,
you want to be a part of the program. We
bring in our legal panel, Greg Jarrett, David Jone and
Leo two point zero. Terrell, Leo, your reaction to the
verdict today. It's everything that all through, all four of
(02:11):
us said, if we followed the law and the facts
and the evidence, the video evidence, the eyewitness testimony, the prosecutions,
you know, star witness also we expected, based on the
law that it should be a not guilty verdict. Well,
you're absolutely right, and I want to commend Fox because
you've got people like Greg Jared David, myself, Turley Macarth,
(02:35):
that you got people giving you legal analysis where the
facts fall. And I think we've done a great job.
MSNBC and CNN should should take a lesson. They should
watch us, because we did a very good job on this,
we analyzed the fact. I think it was very telling
when I heard the Rittenhouse attorney said that the prosecution
forgot its obligation for justice and all they were in
(02:58):
for was winning, and that's not the job of a prosecutor.
The legal system works, notwithstanding the mob outside, notwithstanding Joy
Read and CNN and MSNBC. Now, we got a couple
of idiots, Sean, and I'm sure you saw those tweets
by the Blasio and Cuomo. They're idiot. They had this
hitting agenda, want to tear down our legal system, the
(03:21):
best legal system on the planet, and some I'm happy.
I'm happy for our legal system as a lawyer for
thirty years, and I want to get cal Rittenhouse some
good advice. You have a damn good lawsuit against Joe
Biden for declamation. First thing, I said, the first person
I would sue would be Joe Biden, and I'd work
my way down from there, Greg Jarrett, we predicted all
(03:42):
of this if the law was followed based on the
evidence presented in the courtroom. This was not going to
be a very difficult decision. It was a no brainer.
But once again you have the usual suspects rushing to judgment,
are not allowing the evidence to be presented. Due process,
presumption of innocence all gets thrown out the window for
(04:05):
political convenience. If Americans actually watched the trial and did
not listen to the biased, hyperbolic coverage on MSNBC and CNN,
then they understood completely they not guilty verdicts on all
criminal charges. The witnesses, the videotape footage, all of it
corroborated the account given by the accused when he took
(04:27):
the stand and relived how he reasonably feared he was
in imminent danger of death or grave bodily injury. That
self defense. Jerst didn't believe the prosecution's anemic argument that
the defendant provoked the encounters and forfeited his right to
defend himself. That was a crock. What saw in her
(04:49):
was a seventeen year old being targeted and hunted down
by an angry crowd, shouting get him, kill him. He
tries to escape, He's pelted with rocks, kicked in the head, assaulted, attacked.
One rioter threatens to kill him and grab his gun.
Another tries to bludgeon him with a heavy skateboard. Still
another advances and takes aim at him with his loaded pistol.
(05:11):
Only then did Writtenhouse exercise his right under the law
to defend himself. That's exactly how the jurors saw it.
Let's get your take, David Chong. Well, give you a
couple of quick points. Case. The tragedy all around for
many reasons, but it's an example of the system working
except for the prosecutorial misconduct, which should be subject to sanctions. Well,
(05:34):
let's stop there for a second. Let's talk about that.
Because we had two motions for mistrial, one with prejudice,
one without prejudice. Now briefs were are expected, I assume
at some point by the judge, and I would assume
that the judge may sanction the prosecution or worse, perhaps
(05:55):
what are the judge's options in this case, Well, he
can file disciplinary charge. Gonna referre to the bar for
disciplinary charges. I think he's probably gonna let it go.
But you know, the one thing I want to point
out to you, I think really must be pointed out.
You had courageous jurors who put up with the abuse
outside the courtroom, the threats implied and expressed. They spent
twenty seven hours over four days. They considered all of
(06:16):
these accounts. They were presented with lesser included defense offenses.
They rejected all of that. And people take a lead
from their leadership. You mentioned the unrest to have the
president candidate for President United States now President United States
refer to this as white supremacy was reckless, irresponsible. They
asked him on Friday if he would take that back.
(06:38):
He refused to answer. That's why I say this case
is a tragedy on so many levels. This is a
quintessential self defense case based on all of the factors.
Leo and Greg mentioned, that's why the system worked. But
the courageous jurors really deserve great deal of credit here.
I think, yeah, that's important. What do you what do
(06:58):
you expect now as a bolt of all this Leo
two point z roll. I mean, if you look on
social media, the things that are posted, lends itself makes
me believe that there's probably going to be agitators in
different locations tonight. And and honestly, the fact that we
(07:19):
never followed through with the five hundred and thirty four
riots in the summer of twenty twenty. We had so
much video evidence of people, you know, the billions of
dollars in damage from arson and looting, people on video
throwing bricks, rocks, bottles, molotov cocktails at police officers, dozens dead,
(07:41):
thousands of cops injured. The fact that we don't have
a Liz Cheney committee for that, we don't have an
investigation into that. And in most cities where these riots
took place, very few if any people were charged, even
with videotaped evidence because John de Sean very easily. Those
are Democrats, those are crafts riotings, and they're not going
(08:01):
to convict their own. I mean, let's be clear, the
Democratic Party basically approved of all that. You know, you
didn't mention Kamala Harris funding though the Minneapolis Bell Fund.
These were Antifa Black Lives Matter that made up the
base of the Democratic Party, and they justify those riots
and arsonists. And what has happened is that they're right
(08:23):
now allows to steal roaming these democratic cities. I think
the next twenty Farishan is going to be very, very killing,
because if there's any type of protest, it's being encouraged
by members of the left. Like I said again, if
you saw Cuomo's tweet today, if you saw the Blasio tweet,
they don't accept the legal because they don't accept the
verdict of all people. Cuomo, the disgrace governor, send me
(08:45):
out a tweet questioning the verdict. I'm telling you there
are people who make a living, a living off of
racial division and dissension, and that's on the left. Let
me ask all of you, as attorneys, what possible lead
goal action that Kyle Rittenhouse can take. Now, Interestingly, I
have Nicholas saman on Hannity tonight nine Easter, and we
(09:06):
know that he's already settled with a number of big
news organizations, and I got to imagine the amount is
probably very high, of course, for the non disclosures. Now
my question is, does Kyle Rittenhouse have a case against
Joe Biden, Greg Jarrett. Does he have a case against
these people in the media, those people that said he
(09:28):
was guilty, those people that called him a white supremacist
and worse. Yes, I wrote a column about an hour ago,
and I make that very point. At the end of
the column, it says that Rittenhouse will forever be tainted
by the false accusations leveling against him. He should now
sue all of those who slandered him, including a guy
(09:48):
with the name of Joe Biden who defamed him as
a white supremacist. What about be what about all these
people on TV? Yeah, and I make that point as well.
And he looked. All you have to do is to
the coverage from MSNBC. They characterized him as a white supremacist.
(10:08):
They outright called him a domestic terrorist who was acting
as a mass murderer with unmistakable racist overtones. Joy read
mocked the defendant for his white tears. All of this
is reprehensible at the very least, But it's hard him
in a false light, and that's actionable. But wait a minute,
(10:30):
but it's hard to prove slander and libel. But he's
not a public figure, is he? Just because the figure
he's a private citizen. He was a private citizen and
he did not inject himself into the public arena. By
joy He was a private Susan And these assertions are
assertions of fact, not protected opinion under the First Amendment.
(10:53):
So when Joe Biden calls him white supremacist, he's asserting
a fact that can either be proved or disproved, and
it can be easily disproved us. It's slanderous, it's actionable.
What's your take, David, shown does he have a strong
case for libel slander against these news organizations and Joe Biden? Well,
(11:14):
like you said, these cases are always difficult, but I
think Greg and Leo are both right. Remember Joe Biden
when he did it, he made it clear he used
it for commercial and political purposes. Remember he used it
to advance himself. He used it to advance his candidacy,
and he made no mistake about it, knowing by the way,
that there was no evidence. I have to tell you though.
You know many of the news services, NPR and others
(11:36):
are calling for civil suits by the families against Kyle Rittenhouse. Well,
I mean, well say that again, David. Oh, yeah, the
NPR and others are suggesting the families are very upset
by what happened, and they should sue Kyle Rittenhouse civilly
and they'll face a lesser burden of proof in those
kinds of cases. Well, by the way, you do know
that they that Jerry Nandler is now calling on the
(12:00):
the politicized Department of Justice to look in a civil
rights violation. Leo, oh god, I'm DeLine. I'm telling you Sean,
you know what, Jerry Nadler should be a sham of
the stuff, should not be charged with the juice. Well,
why is that not double jeopardy to me? He just
got acquitted. Why is that not double jeopardy? Well, there's,
first of all, those are state charges. There federal charges.
(12:21):
The civil has a different track than the criminal system,
so there's an argument that he could be brought up
on federal charges. But come on, that's not gonna happen. Well,
you know what, and this I think it could happen.
Greg go ahead. Well, you know the alleged victims there
were no victims at all because they were the attackers
(12:41):
are white and the defendant is white. That's that's an
enormous stress of saving vibes civil rights. But it's classic Nadler,
who is yeahs a bucket of hair. Last word, David, Sean,
go ahead. I don't know if you can top that
but go ahead. Yeah, no, I can't top that. Listen.
(13:01):
I wish the whole thing would go away at this point.
I think the country should have learned a great lesson
from this. Self defense is a vital American principle within
the criminal justice system. Again, this case is a textbook
case of the quintessential use of that defense and the
system working. It's a tragedy because lives were lost. It's
a tragedy because of what happened to Kyle whitnow's, as
(13:22):
you said, his life will never be the same again.
And he's a seventeen year old kid, he's now eighteen.
But yes, do the right thing. Thank you both, Thank
all three of you for being one of us. When
we come back, we'll hit the phones. Eight hundred and
nine one. Sean is our number. All right, we're gonna
take calls for the rest of this hour. At the
(13:45):
top of the hour, we'll have the coverage on the
media of the mob and how wrong they have been.
We check in with Cheryl. Well, hang on, let's say
how to Chris and West Virginia. Hey, Chris, how are
you glad you called? Hey Sean, I'm a brother from
another mother. Man, It's been about four years since I
got to talk to you. How you, oh man, how
are you my friend? Welcome back? Glad you called. I'll
(14:06):
tell you what I was doing great there when when
Trump first got in, we were a little sketchy, but
that he took over and everything was good and happy.
Then Biden took over, and here I am back to
square one, right where I was when I called in
the first time. Listen, We're gonna win again the country.
We see the disaster of socialism. But we have less
than a minute. I want you to get your comments.
(14:27):
So my point is, the whole reason I gave you
a call was because I wanted to see if Kyle
Rittenhouse actually had the ability to shoe Biden himself idiot.
But since you just talked to Larry and all of
them guys, it just come to fruition that you know
he does have that capability. But I just wanted to say,
first off, if he does have that capability, I wanted
(14:48):
to take Biden. I think he should take the Blaws Yo,
and every single one of them guys and girls out
there that put his name out there, this Glass team,
take them for every time they can getting shown to
day just can't step up and let us and say no,
you're pushing too much. Listen, let me tell you something.
I think this is very simple. All these people that
are wrong all these times, it's time that they get
(15:10):
held accountable. And you know, we have Nicholas Samman on
TV tonight. I think you're gonna like it. Listen, Chris,
don't wait four years call me sooner. When we get back,
we'll get right back to your phone calls, and then
we'll we'll render our verdict on the media mob's horrible
coverage straight a hut. Continuing the mission of saving America.
(15:44):
As we return to the Sean Hannity Show right twenty
five now till the top of the hour, Kyle Rittenhouse
not guilty all charges. We'll get into the media irresponsibility
at the top of the next hour. Joe Concha is
going to be with us, as well as Kara Roth.
All right, Lucas Implarida apparently disagrees with me. Let's put
(16:04):
Lucas on. What's up, Lucas, how are you well? And
thanks for taking my call? Um? Yeah, I actually I
do agree. Politicians should kind of like, you know, wait
a minute, see what happens, and then maybe make a
comment that's a little bit educated. I hope it though
that you would give the same treatment to Trump on
his comments with the central part five. I think that
(16:26):
they're just as deplorable as what Joe Biden's were. I
don't recall. I don't recall what I don't recall. Hang
on a second, not a real call what Trump said
and when he said it? H do you know the
specific timeframe? A. Yeah. He took out a full page
ad saying that they should bring back the death penalty.
Those guys ended up being acquitted of all charges and
(16:46):
the city had to pay forty million dollars plus in
damages to the ones who were wrongfully accused, and he
never apologized, never took it back. Well, what's so, what's
your take on Joe Biden rushing to judgment on on
the case of Kyle Rittenhouse and referring to him as
a white supremacist the same thing. I think that there
it's deplorable. But I'm telling you, like you have to give,
(17:09):
you have to give equal treatment, and Trump is just
a guilty and not apologize. I just don't remember the case,
so I can't comment intelligently on it. Look, I mean,
was he did this happen when he was president or
before he was president? I'm asking an important question. Did
he say it was before president? Listen, I don't like
people let me, let me speak generally without knowing what
(17:32):
so you're saying he wasn't president. There's a certain weight
that you have as a president. And this is something
that Barack Obama did over and over again, whether it
be the Cambridge police acted stupidly or trey Von could
be my son, or the rush to judgment and the
media all the time. My general rules and I speak
(17:53):
for myself here, Lucas, is this. You know, there's a
reason we have been vindicated on the Trump Russia collusion
steal dossier, FISA application not verified, unverifiable. There's a reason
we've been right on Treyvon and George Zimmerman, on Ferguson,
on Baltimore, on UVA, on Duke Lacrosse and all these
(18:17):
other high profile cases. And the reason, and starting with
Richard Jewel in my life, is that I don't rush
to judgment. I don't and I wait for the facts
to come in and then I make a determination based
on the evidence and the facts, with the belief that
people are innocent until proven guilty. I believe in the
presumption of innocence, and I believe that that that we
(18:40):
don't do that anymore. And as a result of this,
when people rush to judgment before any evidence is presented,
we see the consequences now. Because I did my leg work.
For example, I mentioned Ferguson, Missouri, I had multiple sources,
many people that confirmed and operated for me that there
(19:01):
were multiple eyewitnesses that just happened to be African American
that confirmed that confirmed Officer Darren Wilson's account about Michael
Brown reaching into the car to try and get his
gun and Michael Brown charging at Darren Wilson. Now, this
whole hands up, don't shoot the thing that was perpetuated
by the media that didn't have facts. In the case
(19:24):
of Duke Lacrosse, I actually went to the home of
some of the families, met some of the kids, met
their parents, and I knew that they were building exculpatory
evidence that would prove that they weren't anywhere near the
location at the time of the alleged incident. So you
know what happens is whether it be Baltimore or whether
(19:45):
it be Ferguson. What happens is is when people irresponsibly
rush to judgment, or irresponsibly, in this case, the President
of the United States calling this kid a white supremacist.
You know, especially in that position, it's irresponsible, and the
media's coverage equally irresponsible. But I think what's going to
happen more and more is what happened with Nicholas sand
(20:09):
Richard Jewel got wealthy, but he lost his life, Lynn
Wood claimed, and I don't doubt it that the pressure
of being accused of being a terrorist destroyed him. Nicholas
Sandman is going to be a very wealthy kid. He
already has had settlements with major news organizations. And I
think Kyle Rittenhouse has a very good case of slander
and libel against Joe Biden and many other members of
(20:30):
the media. I can only speak for myself, and as
much as the lessons that I learned in the Richard
Jewel case of not rushing to judgment have served me
well in my career, where I usually turn up being
right when everyone else is wrong. I did make an exception,
by the way, in the case of George Floyd, he
got a guy handcuffed begging for his life, please, sir,
(20:55):
you know, etc. Anyway, I'll give you the last word. Yeah.
My main point of calling though, was I forget the
media for a second. Like it's starting to get the
it's becoming a very tired argument. But my point is, well,
you know what, no, no, no, it's not it's not
a it's not a tired argument. When there are consequences
(21:15):
to the irresponsible comments. It's not it's relevant. We talk
about family values all the time, especially on this program.
I'm a parent, you're a parent. What is a seventeen
year old doing with a with an AAR fifteen at
a protest, like, regardless of it's self defense or not.
(21:38):
The point is I would never ever let my child
and I would know where they are because she didn't
even know where he was go to an event. Listen,
I do do I what? I hang on? I got
your point? What I advised my kids to be there
in an environment where we know what's going on, what
had happened prior to this now for whatever reason, now
(22:00):
we know it was he was involved in removing graffiti.
We know that he went there to help people that
were injured. This all came out in testimony. We know
that he was asked to help protect this, this car dealership.
Would I advise anybody when when crowds like that gather
and many people were armed. If you remember it wasn't
(22:23):
just him. Remember he had a gun point it right
at his head? Um, Would I advised my children to
be there? I would not. On the other hand, it's
that's not what you based this ruling on the bay.
The ruling is on whether or not the law of
Wisconsin was applicable in terms of self defense. And it
(22:43):
was clear the evidence was overwhelming in terms of video evidence,
witness testimony, and and much more, even the star witness
of the prosecution. The issue of whether he's there, he
had a legal weapon, whether you like the law or not,
like many other people armed there, I I personally would
(23:05):
try to avoid an area like that at a moment
like that. That's my own personal view. But he acted
within the law and that's what was what was on
trial here, and this is why the jury came to
the right conclusion. Here. I'll give you the last word
again one more time. Yeah, it just the event should
have never happened. Well, the rioting that took place, the
(23:28):
five hundred riots over the summer or twenty twenty shouldn't
have happened. I agree with that too. I agree with
that too, Sean. But well, what wasn't that I agree
with But I'm telling you, a seventeen year old with
an air of fifteen should never have been protest like this.
It should have never happened. Okay, and all the other
and all the other people that were there too shouldn't
have been there as well, based on your definition. But
(23:50):
you know what, we do live in a country where
we allow freedom of a speech, freedom of expression, and
it was a legal weapon based on the law. And
this case was decided on the rule of law. And
that's just a simple slam dunk. Anyway, I do appreciate
the call, Cheryl, Indiana. Oh that's right. I forgot Sarah
Carter's in Kenosha. I'm busy. I'm doing a show here.
(24:14):
I have no work, Sarah. Thank you for being well us. Sara,
are you hey? Thanks Sean, thank you for having me on.
I was listening to your conversation. It's the same conversations John,
that are happening here in Kenosha, right here on the ground.
You know, I was. I was talking to some young folks,
actually citizens here in Kenosha who are really concerned, you know,
they say, look, we're on our social media or social
(24:35):
media's blowing up right now. People are saying they're going
to come to Kenosha and burn it down. That's what
they're seeing on social media. And that's a real concern
for people of this community who already been torn apart,
whose community has been ripped apart last year, you know,
during the riot. And you're right, people do have the right,
you know, to come and to protest. We saw that
(24:57):
in front of the courthouse. Thankfully, it didn't devolve into
anything worse than what we have already seen over the
past week, which was pretty calm. Right now, there's not
a lot of people in front of the courthouse. Definitely
more journalists more pressed than there are people. But there
are talks about protest sparking in Chicago maybe tomorrow night,
(25:20):
or people coming from out of town. I think the
important thing to understand here, it's like what happened with
Kyle Rittenhouse. There's a lot of young people, there's a
lot of people moving people in certain directions. We've seen
that with the media. We've seen people you know, basically
charging Kyle rittenhouse before he even had a trial, presuming
(25:40):
him guilty before he even had the trial. A lot
of people here now are saying, look, we waited it out,
we had a jury, we had a trial. This jury
was very thorough. It's over now. Let's move on. Let's
not make this any worse than they already has it.
Sarah Carter will be with us tonight. Please be careful, Sarah,
(26:00):
it's you know, tensions are running very, very high. I've
been reading the same sweet Baby James has been printing out.
Uncle James has printed out a lot of the the
very same things. We appreciate you being there, and the
great coverage will go to you often throughout the night
tonight as things are unfolding. I hope nothing unfolds. I
hope the city's peaceful. Yeah, Sarah Carter reporting for us.
(26:25):
Cheryl is in Indiana. Hey, Cheryl, glad you called. Hey, Sean,
Shelvin got didn't have much time. I had three points,
but the main one was that a lot of this
I put at the feet of the government. Had they
started taking care of these riots back when the looting
and the burning and the killing and all that was
going on, when it was suppsedly peaceful protest, perhaps it
(26:47):
would not have gotten to this point. Listen, I missed
the first part of your statement. What'd you say? Okay,
I said, I lay this a lot at the feet
of the government, because had they gotten involved back in
twenty twenty, when all these quote peaceful protests were going
on in people burning things and killing people, perhaps it
wouldn't have gotten to this point. I think that's a
(27:08):
great point. I mean, we watched police departments stand down.
We watched city blocks being taken over and called autonomous,
chaz chop, summer of Love, spaghetti, potluck, dinner zones. We
watched precincts burned to the ground. We watched the media
call rioting peaceful, mostly peaceful. We watched Democrats ignore it
(27:31):
most of it because they didn't want to anger their
base that was probably mostly involved in those particular riots.
They only care about the one where they can bludgeon
Donald Trump. That's the only one that's getting an investigation.
Prosecutors have not followed through and charged people that we
have video evidence of committing crimes. There's a lot of you. Yeah,
(27:53):
as I say, I do think, I do think that
Trump was a little bit there too, but I don't
think he could have. Either way he went, he was
not going to be happy. They're not going to be
happy because if he had stepped in, they would have
said it was overreach, and he not stepped in, they
would have said it was cowardice or whatever. But I mean,
somewhere along the line, there should have been a decision
made that when weapons start coming out and people start looting,
(28:16):
and people start burning and assaulting people, that's not a
peaceful protest, not at all. And if you see on
fake news CNN or MSTNC, it could actually see, you know,
cities burning behind the reporters, it's mostly peaceful, like the
city's ablaze and dozens died and no wesles Cheney on
the commission. Can we ask Liz Chenny's office where whether
(28:38):
she's gonna have a commission on this anyway? Thank you,
Cheryl eight hundred and nine for one Seawn. If you
want to be a part of the program, Uh, let's
say hi to Mike Is in South Dakota. Hey, Mike,
how are you any Sean? Thanks for having me on.
Thank you, sir, I got a quick a couple of
quick questions free here, you know, We've got that unknown
mail on video kicking Kyle Rittenhouse in the head. And
(29:02):
then there's the guy that was shot in the bicep,
the guy that wasn't killed, admitting the under oath on
the stand that he pointed his loaded firearm at Kyle Rittenhouse.
Are these two guys going to get church? That's assault
and aggravated assault in my mind. Interestingly, it's gun safety
(29:23):
one O one. You never ever ever point a gun loaded, unloaded,
think unloaded at anybody unless you plan on using it
in self defense. That's the rule. For the prosecutor to
do it in the courtroom was mind numbing to me.
And you're right. The testimony of the star witness of
(29:44):
the prosecution admitting that he pointed a loaded gun at
the head of Kyle Rittenhouse. I was blown away. Now
should he be charged? Probably in not allowed to point
a weapon at somebody like that. Do I think that's
going to happen? No. Interestingly, if Kyle Rittenhouse was, as
(30:07):
Joe Scarborough said, on a shooting rampage, firing sixty bullets,
then he would have been killed. But he only fired
one shot, and that one shot I think I believe
hit him in the bicep and which stopped the threat
and he didn't fire again, which tells me he wasn't
out to kill anybody, but just defend himself. I think
(30:28):
it ended up helping him, not hurting him. Looks And
if people were held accountable by the law, did be
a long laundry list of people, first of all, just
starting with libel and slander against Kyle Rittenhouse, everybody that
called him a white supremacist, everybody that lied about what
(30:49):
he actually did. I think could be subject to a lawsuit.
The three attorneys we had on David Shoon and Greg
Jarrett and Leo two point zero Terrell, they all agree
with me too. And we're going to look at the
media's reckless coverage when we get back, and more of
your calls coming up eight hundred and nine one Sean,
you want to be a part of the program, Brian
kill me Row also say we'll get his take on
(31:10):
it coming up later. All right, when we come back,
the media, the mob, their culpability and can they be
sued for the reckless statements they made about Kyle Rittenhouse.
If you're just joining us, not guilty on all charges.
