Rittenhouse not guilty as to the fifth count of the information. Age Ross Courts. We the jury Kyle hrid House not guilty. Not guilty on all charges. What have we been saying, if you follow the law, if you if you go by what the law is, what is in the law, what the law states, There's only one verdict that you're going to come up come to based on the facts and the evidence in the case. And it was that simple. It was not very complicated, and that is that he did not break the law because this is a classic case of self defense. You keep in mind, you know that this is now and by the way, the judges, I want to see what the judge does in terms of following through on the misconduct of the prosecution here, because you you just never know. But I think that something is going to happen on some level with all of this. But the law in wisconstant, is clear. There's no ambiguity in this, and that is that the laws as an individual may use deadly force if he or she quote reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself. It was more than reasonable when you look at the evidence, the video evidence, the eyewitness testimony, if you watch, if you listen to the star witness for the prosecution, it was a simple verdict. Why did they take so long because I think they were being thoughtful, deliberative. They wanted to go through it slowly, comprehensively. I'm guessing on this, and they knew that there was outside pressure, and yet they rendered the right verdict based on the law and based on the facts. And based on the evidence. Now, for example, based on my observation, it would be more than reasonable to believe that Kyle Rittenhouse faced imminent death or great bodily harm from Joseph Rosenbaum. Remember this is the one that was the convicted child molester kids what five through nine years of eighty five kids? I think nine very young kids. And anyway, but if you look at what happened in that particular case, based again on eyewitness testimony, based on video testimony, with Rosenbaum vowing to bleeping kill Rittenhouse and then chasing Rittenhouse, cornering Rittenhouse, lunging for and grabbing the barrel of Rittenhouse's gun. That falls within the definition and the rule of law, which is very clear that an individual may use deadly force if he or she quote reasonably believes such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself. It would be more than reasonable to believe that Kyle Rittenhouse faced imminent death or great bodily harm. Remember when he was being chased, he was running away as fast as he could. He wanted to get away from a mob that wascing him and a violent group of rioters chased him down, knocked off his hat, knocked him to the ground, and attempted to then and then remember the image, to stomp his face into the pavement. At that point, he defended himself. And then the third case, well, that was a slam dunk in that particular case because you have the star witness for the prosecution that stepped up and admitted on the stand under oath that he pointed a loaded gun to Kyle Rittenhouse before Kyle Rittenhouse ever shot him. Everybody can twist and turn this every step of the way, but those are the facts of the case. The jury made the right decision based on the law and based on the evidence that will present it to them. And there's been an awful lot of lying going on. Now. If I'm Kyle Rittenhouse, let me tell you where my mind is going today, and that is I would start suing every single person because there's been no evidence ever presented that Kyle Rittenhouse was in any way, manner or form a white supremacist. You know, you have Joe Biden in the tweet that he put out, the now infamous tweet, a picture of Kyle Rittenhouse as we saw in Kenosha underneath Kyle Rittenhouse, Joe Biden tweeting, there's no other way to put it. The President of the United States refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night, and then he shared a video clip on Twitter denouncing white supremacists, including a photo of Rittenhouse wielding a gun. Now, maybe the White House, I don't know. You can call over if you want. If you do, I always heard you to be polite two o two four or five six one one, And you can ask, is Joe going to apologize? Will President Biden apologize for falsely slandering, libeling Kyle Rittenhouse with his comments, because this is what happens all the time. This is what we said. They never It's the same cast of characters making the same mistakes over and over again. They never learned a thing from Richard Jewel. They never learned a thing from Ferguson Missouri. They never learned a thing from Cambridge Police or Freddie Gray and Baltimore. They never learned a thing with Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. They never learned a thing from UVA. They never learned a thing from Duke Lacrosse. You know, I'd like to pat myself on the back and say, Okay, I've been right in every one of these cases, and they're wrong in every one of these cases, and that I must have some magic crystal ball that shows me what the real truth is. No, it's called actually getting the facts, working sources, and like for example in Ferguson, my sources, one after another, probably about ten of them told me that there were multiple people that fully completely corroborate the story of Officer Darren Wilson, that there never was a hands up, don't shoot moment, and that it was Michael Brown putting his hands into the police car trying to wrestle away the pistol the firearm from Officer Darren Wilson when the first shot went off. Nobody was hit with in that case. And then it was Michael Brown that turned around and ran towards Darren Wilson, who then had to protect himself. And we have multiple eyewitnesses that corroborated that story in total. I was told early on those witnesses existed. That's why the media is so reckless and irresponsible. You know, look at what they did with the Covington High School kids and Nicolas Samman Nicolas. Now, if I'm Kyle Rittenhouse, I'd follow the Nicolas Samman model and I'd start suing. And I'm gonna tell you what's gonna happen Once he starts suing. All of these networks that referred to him as a white supremo, asist, all of these networks that said these horrible things about him, that slandered him and libeled him and called him a racist and declared his guilt, etc. I would assume that he's probably going to be as rich as Nicholas Sandman in the end, because they don't want to settle the case. They're not going to want to go to court because it'll be exposed even further. How recklessly irresponsible these so called news organizations are. You know, I go back to the article yesterday by Miranda Divine in the New York Post. You know, the ten heinous lies about Kyle Rittenhouse that are debunked, starting with he killed two black Black Lives Matter protesters. All three of the men that he shot in self defense happened to be white. They were not bl M protesters, at least not that we know of. Anyway, he crossed state lines. That was another lie. He lived twenty miles from Kenosha in Illinois. That part is true with his mother and sisters, but he also has a father and a grandmother, and an aunt and an uncle, and cousins and his best friends all live in Kenosha, so he went back and forth between both states and both cities. He had a job as a lifeguard in Kenosha. He worked a shift on August to twenty fifth before helping clean graffiti. Remember he helped clean graffiti. He helped some people that were injured that night. You know all facts. I don't think the mob in the media wants to want you to know about, nor did they pay much attention to And a lot of this graffiti that he was cleaning off was left by rioters at a local school. He and a friend were then invited to join other adults that had been asked by the owners of a used car lot in Kenosha to guard the property because a hundred cars had been torched the previous night when police abandoned the town to rioters. I hope they're prepared in case there's any unrest tonight, and I hope there's not any unrest tonight. Kyle took his gun to protect himself since the rioters were violent and armed, including for example, the Antifa medic. This guy that the prosecution's lead witness admitted on the stand that he had a loaded clock and he pointed it right at Kyle Written House's head before Kyle defended himself. And that is that fits within the law within Wisconsin for self defense, you know, Written House. The charge was he took an aar fifteen across state lines. Esquire accused him of terrorist tourism, put them on the list of people to consider suing anyway. That was false. His rifle was kept in a safe at his best friend's stepfather's house in Kenosha. The gun was legal. Everyone was telling us it was illegal up until the beginning of the trial. The gun charge stook It never should have been there under Wisconsin law. He was entitled to possess that firearm as a seventeen year old, and the judge ultimately dismissed the gun charge, which the prosecution never should have brought because it was a long rifle, wasn't a short one, which would have broken the law. Rittenhouse's mother drove him across state lines to riot. Another light told well Wendy Rittenhouse never went to Kenosha. She slept late the morning of August twenty fifth. She had worked a sixteen hour shift at a nursing home near her home in Illinois, and by that time Kyle had already gone to his job as a lifeguard in Kenosha when she woke up. The assistant district attorney holds Rittenhouse's guns as he gives the state's closing argument, pointing it at people in the courtroom. That's called gun safety. One O one. You never do that, whether you think the gun is loaded or unloaded. Never pointed at somebody that you're not planning on shooting at in self defense. For example, he quote an active shooter who took his gun to a riot looking for trouble, when just the opposite came out. I mean, he went there to help people. He was cleaning raffiti. Now, you know, you might say, what the hell was he doing there? He was cleaning raffiti. He was asked to help a car dealership to prevent further losses. Okay, this kid's got a heart. He's there, and he also felt the need, based on the previous night's activities, to defend himself. If God forbid something happened. Well, God forbid something happened. He was called repeatedly a white supremacist, starting with then candidate Joe Biden. When White House Press Secretary Jensaki was pressed by Peter Doocey, well, then she starts talking about well, generally speaking, vigilantes. He didn't go there as a vigilante. There's no evidence to back up that claim. I think I put her on the list of people that I would consider suing. He flashed white power signs with the Proud Boys. Okay, Kyle was free two million dollars bail. After his birthday last year, he went to a bar for a beer with his mother and other adults. And by the way, he took pictures with people strangers if I knew. I don't know anybody I took a picture with. For example, of the Patriot Awards this week, I have no idea who they are. Mister Hannity, Can we take a selfie? Mister Hannity, would you mind taking a picture with me? I always try to accommodate when I can, but I don't know anything about them that make me guilty of hanging out with somebody that might have extreme views. Nope. They have something called clicks. You stand in line, you got to do a thousand clicks. I mean take pictures with a thousand people. I've done that in the course of my career. Do I know the thousand people. No, I don't know the thousand people, but I'm honored that they watched the show and listen to my radio show. And oh and the other last lie was the judge as a Trumpian. No, he was actually appointed by a Democrat. Sorry to break your narrative. And he's the longest serving judge in Wisconsin history. All Right, we got a lot of ground to get to today, and we'll get your reaction in and we'll get analysis on the ground in Kenosha from Sarah Carter. We've got our legal experts Leo two pointz, Terrell, Greg Jarrett, David shown much more and your calls eight hundred nine one. Sean all right, a super Bowl along Sean Hannity Show, if you're just joining us. Not guilty, Kyle Rittenhouse all charges. Now, the first charge was first degree reckless homicide. This is this Rosenbaum guy, Class B felony that would carry a maximum would have carried a maximum penalty of sixty years, broken down into forty years of initial confinement twenty years extended supervision. First degree. The second charge first degree reckless endangering safety. Prosecution claiming that would apply to Richard McGinnis because he was close to the shootings and testified he felt he was in danger. That could have resulted in twelve and a half years imprisonment and a twenty five thousand dollars fine. The third charge is first degree recklessly endangering safety. Prosecution doesn't even know who this man was, but he jumped kicked Rittenhouse before he fired at him, missing both times. That would have been twelve and a half years imprisonment and a twenty five thousand dollars fine. The Hoover charge was the first degree intentional homicide. This is the guy that struck Rittenhouse with his skateboard in the head and the neck before Rittenhouse defended himself. And then of course the attempt at first degree intentional homicide. This is the star witness of the prosecution, Gauge Gross Crouts, who shot at close proximity but admitted during testimony that in fact he was not shot until he pointed a loaded gun at Kyle Rittenhouse. I would have been a Class B felony. Maximum penalty sixty years in jail, broken into forty years initial confinement, twenty years extended supervision. Not guilty all charges in Kenosha. Sarah Carter is on the ground. We'll get a report from her that's coming up next. And way do you hear how the medium mob and the politicians are reacting now that we made some money for our sponsors. Let's go back to making the liberals crazy. The handman is back on the radio right now, all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight hundred nine one, Shawn, if you want to be a part of the program, our own Sarah Carter has been there now for days on the ground in Kenosha. She's outside the courthouse as we speak. I know you'll join us in the next hour as well, and on TV tonight. What's going on? Well, I gotta tell you, Sean, it was there were some tense moments. I think for the people of Kenosha, there was a really huge sense of relief. I was talking to folks as the verdict came in, and those are people that actually, at that moment in time, weren't around the courthouse, but downtown where a lot of the businesses are still shuttered. You know, people have been very concerned. They really wanted this to wrap up. I think for the most part, most people here in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the residents believed and actually expected Kyle Rittenhouse to be acquitted on all the charges. Now outside the courthouse was a different stories. There were a lot of folks, many of them from groups offshoots like Antifa. We thought some of some people that claimed to be from Antifa. We saw other people belonging to groups like the Revolutionary Club out of Chicago. These were people that were trying to start maybe a ruckist, start an incident. I did haven't experience. A woman collapsed outside the front of the courthouse. We'll be talking about that tonight. Uh. She was screaming, she was frantic. The paramedics arrived, she collapsed, she started to go into a seizure. It was kind of a frightening moment for everyone, but overall are grateful that this is now wrapped up. I know for Kyle Rittenhouse and his family, it must be an extraordinary relief Before Thanksgiving. Now you've been listening to the people outside the courthouse, and I know that the jury had to be keenly aware there were people protesting. What groups of people are there now and do you see any potential for any conflict? Well, yeah, there is still a lot of concern Shawn. Yeah, there were a lot of the groups that we saw front of the courthouse were mainly groups like like I said, revolutionary groups, people that wanted to start look like they wanted to start maybe a little bit more than a protest, and were We saw a couple of days ago that they were pushing people around. There were a few arrests, but for the most part, there has been calm and I believe that the law enforcement of officials, particularly the Kenosha Police Department, and I was able to talk to some of the guys, they feel as though they have this situation under control. They are concerned about tonight, they are concerned about this weekend. They're worried about groups coming from out of town into Kenosha to start to start problems. I ditched buck to one resident. They were you know, they said, this has been a devastating year for the people of Kenosha and for the people of Wisconsin, and especially the people around this courthouse area where we saw a lot of businesses burned down in twenty twenty. Many of them never came back. A lot of people lost all their livelihoods. This has been a traumatizing event for everyone. I can tell you this. What they've told me is that they hope that this gets put to rest. I know we're going to have some of the folks on your show tonight, you know, live on Hannity tonight, some of the people that we interviewed. But for the most part, I think people are in a wait and see game. Still. They are hoping and they are hoping that everything remains calm throughout the weekend, but there is no telling what can happen if outside groups come into Kenosha. Sorry, you've done some great reporting. If anything happens at a moment's notice, just give us a call. We'll put your right back on the air. I know you'll join us in the next hour as well. You've been there doing great reporting, investigative reporting for us. We really appreciate it. As always. Well, thank you so much, Sean. I'll be here for you. So we'll keep our eyes peeled and just keep our prayers out there for the people of Wisconsin. All I appreciate you being with us. Sarah Carter on the ground and Kenosha, we'll have a lot more with her tonight. By the way, Nicholas Samman is on our show tonight. Who look at what that poor kid went through? And I'm the lawyer for Kyle Rittenhouse. I'm looking to do it as well. I have. Let me give you some of the reaction because I think, you know, I like Tom Cotton came out and called on Joe Biden to apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse. Apparently we have a statement from Joe Biden that I want to read to you. I think this was just released and it says which is pretty interesting because he doesn't mention his previous statement, you know, and statement of the President. While the verdict in Kenosha may leave many Americans feeling angry and concern, myself included, we must acknowledge that the jury is spoken. I ran on a promise to bring America together because I believe what unites us is greater than what divides us. I know that when I know that we're not going to heal our country's wounds overnight, but I remained steadfast and my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that every American is treated equally with fairness dignity under the law. I urge everyone to express their views peacefully, consistent with the rule of law. Violence and destruction of property of no place in our country and democracy. And the White House and federal authorities have been in contact with Governor's Ever's office for any outcome in this case. And I have spoken with the Governor of this afternoon and offered my support and assistance if needed to ensure public safety. Where's the apology, Joe, Where's the apology? You rushed to judgment, You said this kid was a white supremacist. You put it right there on Twitter. And now Senator to Tom Cotton has demanded that Biden publicly apologize. And he's right for the words that he used and the things that he said while running for office and suggesting that he was a white supremacist. Joe needs to publicly apologize. To Kyle Rittenhouse, that's fine, But my advice to Kyle Rittenhouse is Joe Biden needs to be sued for slander and libel. Yeah, let's not forget. Also that his vice president, Kamala Harris, told Stephen Colbert that they would not rest, and they would cause unrest in the street. They're not going to stop. Shouldn't stop. We have that audio, but they're not stop. They're not going to stop, and that's they're not this is a movement. I'm telling you, they're not going to stop. And everyone beware because they're not gonna stop. It is gonna They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they're not going to stop after election day. And that should be everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't They're not going to let up, and they should not and we should not. Uh Okay, And then of course she promoted the bail fund after you know what happened in Minneapolis or Minnesota last year. Al Sharpton apparently ABC News reporting these continue to be dark days for black people, killed at the hands of people that believe our lives do not matter. This shooting did not involve any African American at all. It did not involve a black person. There's a lot of people on Twitter right now, Schwan that are saying that black people were killed by Carl Rittenhouse. There's so much misinformation, unbelievable. This verdict not only was not only outrageous and dangerous, it's also an obvious signal that encourages vigilantes that they can continue to use violence to assert their power, and more importantly, that they are above the criminal justice system when they do. While it is disheartening that we take one step forward several steps back, let this be a reminder that our activism cannot take a back seat. How could he not know anything about the case, Comrade d Blasio, This verdict is disgusting and it sends a horrible message to the country. Where is the justice in this The jury followed Wisconsin law. The evidence, frankly was overwhelming, the videotape evidence, you know, the eyewitness testimony. Even the prosecution's star witness admitted pointing a gun at Kyle Rittenhouse's face. Anyway, we can't let this go, Comrade de Blasio says, we need stronger laws to stop violent extremism from within our own nation. Now is the time. By the way, I'd add a few of these people to the potential list of lawsuits we've got the head of the Derek Johnson, the NAACP president and CEO, on Twitter. The verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is a reminder of the treacherous role that white supremacy and privilege play within our justice system. Okay, Julian Castro, you know damn well that if Kyle Rittenhouse were black, he would have been found guilty in a heartbeat or shot dead by cops on the scene the ACLU, despite Rittenhouse's conscious decision to travel state lines. Again, that's a lie that's been debu His father, grandmother, best friend, job existed in Kenosha. Hello. Anyway, you know it's and it gets where. Hollywood's out there doing the same thing too. Deadline is reporting Hollywood media industry is quick to react, expressing surprise the Billions, the show co creator, watch this kid not only become a hero to segments of the right, but watching becoming emboldened and appear on Rogan puff himself up, getting bar fights and murder again. Oh my gosh, I can't believe this all started with Joe Biden rushed to judgment. Now is the time. The verdict is disgusting, Comrade de Blasio, Gavin Newsom not to be outdone America. Today, you can break the law, carry around weapons built for a military and shoot and kill people and get away with it. That's not what happened, Governor Congresswoman Omar A domestic terrorist executed two people, and his supporters think this is maintaining order. Their murderous frants have inspired many mass shooters, and now there they aren't even trying to distance themselves from it. They're excusing it. Let's see, Gwen Moore, we got contrasts how Kenosha police is this PolitiFact Wisconsin? And she says, in contrast, how a black man who was shot by police was treated Kenosha police officers let an armed white supremacist walk right past them after shooting people. Okay, you add them to the list of potential lawsuits. Not sure what the plan is. Well, but it's out there, you know. Another commentary, and I mean they're all over the place, but literally they need a full time staff to go through all the social media. In Kyle Rittenhouse's defense, our murderers once again walking free today. Our system is broken, living proof that white tears can still forestall justice. Wow. MSNBC, MSDNC commentator armed civilians are now part of American life. Wow. What an entirely unprecedented development. Progressive Democrats, they're just erupting all over the place over this, and I would expect it's only going to get worse. I'm gonna play you know, we can play the media. We've been playing the media's commentary all throughout this. We'll play more later in the program. Oh and now we got this breaking Jerry Nadler, House Judiciary Committee chairman is now looking for the politicized Department of Justice to go after Kyle Rittenhouse. You can't even get a guilty verdict. Did anyone ever hear a double jeopardy here? Nadler? This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice. That's a dangerous precedent, which justifies federal review by the Department of Justice. How about the conduct of the prosecution in this case that still has to those motions still need to be dealt with anyway. The justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing. They keep saying the same thing. Doesn't matter how many times we debunk the lie. His father, his grandmother, his job, his best friend, twenty minutes across the border from where his mother lived. He went back and forth. How hard is that to figure out? Shouldn't be that hard to figure out? We have more reaction. Let's see Chris Christie, justice was done in this case. Renews our faith in the jury system, Lea Zelden, the right of self defense. You know, we got some people that actually, you know, support truth and justice and the system. Sometimes things get wrong here, but again you got to go back. You know what matters here is the law, and the law is clear, and it's clear that the jury stuck by the law in this particular case that an individual may use deadly force if he or she quote reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself. Okay, well, when you know, did Kyle Rittenhouse face imminent death or great bodily harm when Rosenbaum vowed to bleeping kill him and proceeded to chase him as the video evidence showed, and corner him and then lunge for his gun. Is it not reasonable to believe Kyle Rittenhouse faced imminent death or great bodily harm when a group of violent rioters that's the video of him being chased down the block knocked him to the ground and or about to take their foot and stomp his face into the pavement. I think there's a risk of great bodily harm and death in that situation, you know, or the star witness of the prosecution, same thing. Facts don't seem to matter anyway. Eight hundred nine four one Seawn, if you want to be a part of the program, we're gonna get a full and complete legal analysis with our legal team. Greg Jarrett is going to join us, LEO two pointz, Terrell, David Shone. They'll weigh in on all of this. We got your calls coming up as well. In the next hour. I promise we'll get to some of your calls. Many of you would hopefully like to. I can see my lines. Everyone wants to weigh in on this. He stands by the verdict. I stand by what the jury concluded, says Joe Biden. The jury, now that's not exactly true. When is Joe going to apologize now? I think the answers never. Now. The question is will Writtenhouse sue Joe Biden? Because I would and a heartbeat
