Case Closed: Rittenhouse Clearly Acted in Self-Defense

It’s not Kyle Rittenhouse’s fault. It’s our fault, the adults.

Tucker looks at the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse and the prosecution’s apparent strategy, threatening the jury. Highlights include:

“That’s kind of it right there, that’s pretty much the end of the trial because when someone runs up and points a loaded gun in your face, you are allowed to shoot that person. That’s called self-defense, that’s the rule. That has been the rule throughout human history in every society on earth since people lived in caves.”

“At one point, a detective a witness called by the prosecution, implicated the prosecution in a cover-up.”

“The prosecution ordered the police not to look at the phone and that had never happened before, and you can see why. It’s baffling, really.”

“Why would a government lawyer want less evidence in a case?”

“Once again, we have the textbook definition of self-defense. Not much of a prosecution. In fact at no point did the prosecution make its own case, they make Kyle Rittenhouse’s case, open and shut.”

“But you’d never know any of this from watching the coverage of the trial.”

“For the record, the men Rittenhouse shot were all white. Kind of a funny kind of white supremacy there. It turns out that like so much of the hyperventilating moral outrage we suffer through every single day, the tale of Kyle Rittenhouse is a myth. It was concocted by the industrial media lie machine purely for political effect.”

“It’s not Kyle Rittenhouse’s fault. It’s our fault, the adults. We’re not leading this country in a proper way. We’ve allowed chaos and anarchy to take over. We’ve allowed the thugs to run our society, and then all the elected people, the politicians that are making money, the millionaires sitting on tv tsk-tsking, they’re all sitting back and 18 jurors have a grenade in their lap.”

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
