Kyle Rittenhouse speaks to Tucker Carlson in first TV interview
It’s hard to ignore the yawning class divide between Kyle Rittenhouse and his many critics in the media.
Tucker interviews Kyle Rittenhouse, who gives his version of the events on August 24th.
Highlights include:
“In retrospect, it’s remarkable just how dishonest, how thoroughly and intentionally dishonest the media coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse story turned out to be.”

“All of it was a lie.”
“Rittenhouse was not a ‘white supremacist,’ he was never in a militia, he never crossed state lines with a firearm. The protest in Kenosha was not peaceful; it was a riot, chaotic and violent. Many of the rioters, by the way, carried guns … Rittenhouse was hardly alone. Rittenhouse didn’t go to Kenosha looking for trouble. His father lived there.”
“Here’s the context: The night before, police in Kenosha had done nothing as the mob burned businesses, including another car lot, all the way to the ground. So, the business owner needed Kyle Rittenhouse’s help.”
“He was looking to a 17-year-old for help, if that gives you some perspective on how bad things were, and he asked for it.”
“As Rittenhouse stood there, rioters threatened his life. Then they attempted to kill him. In the end, Rittenhouse shot three attackers as he tried to run to the safety of the police. A number of media outlets claimed the men Rittenhouse shot were black. In fact, all three were white, and all three had serious criminal records.”
“Again, the media coverage was — from beginning to end — a tapestry of lies. If you watched the trial last week, you know that.”
“It’s hard to ignore the yawning class divide between Kyle Rittenhouse and his many critics in the media.”
“Rittenhouse comes from the least privileged sector of our society. During high school he worked as a janitor and a fry cook to help support his family. Last year he got into college at Arizona State, and he is very proud of it. In the world Kyle Rittenhouse grew up in, it is not a given that kids go to college. It’s not even close.”
“It was upsetting, because Kenosha is my community, and I was just upset seeing my community up in flames.”
“The first time I saw Rosenbaum was the first time he threatened to kill me. I was asking people if they needed medical and he came up to me … and he said, ‘If I catch any of you m-f’ers alone, I’m going to f*ing kill you.’ I’m just asking if people need help on both sides. I was there just to help anybody that needed it, and shockingly, the only people I helped that night were rioters.”
“What I noticed is the rioters were … disassociating with him because he was spewing the n-word around and they just didn’t seem to want anything to have to deal with him.”
“I run around the car because I was going to render first aid to him. I wasn’t able to because there was a mob forming and calling for my execution, and that’s when I try to run to the police line and get to the police, and then I am attacked again.”
“We ended up … turning myself in to the Antioch police department. I had to go to Antioch police department, which in my understanding is the closest police department to Kenosha.”
“I think it was people taking advantage of the BLM movement. I agree everybody has the right to protest and assemble, but I do not agree that people have the right to burn down. I don’t appreciate that people are burning down American cities.”
“I was formally arrested without a criminal complaint being crafted. They didn’t know what they were charging me with yet, they just arrested me at Antioch Police Department.”
“I said, ‘no, the right thing to do would be to turn myself in, I didn’t do anything wrong.'”

Tucker: We’re Back.
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.”

Tucker: See you soon
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.”
