>> TUCKER CARLSON: WELCOME. TONIGHT, A SIGNIFICANT DAY IN THE RECENT HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY. WE'LL HAVE AN HOUR OF DETAILS FOR YOU. BUT BEFORE WE JUMP INTO THEM, A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. HERE'S HOW THE STORY STARTED JUST SO WE ALL REMEMBER. 17-YEAR-OLD KYLE RITTENHOUSE WOUND UP ON THE STREET IN KENOSHA IN THE FIST PLACE WITH A GUN FOR ONE REASON, HE WAS THERE BECAUSE IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, THE LEADERSHIP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENDORSED MOB VIOLENCE FOR POLITICAL ENDS. THAT'S WHY THERE WERE RIOTS IN KENOSHA THAT NIGHT, BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE KAMALA HARRIS SUPPORTED THE RIOTS. MORE THAN A YEAR LATER AS RITTENHOUSE STOOD TRIAL FOR MURDER, THE SAME PEOPLE IMPLIED THERE WOULD BE MORE VIOLENCE IF HE WAS ACQUITTED. SO IMAGINE BEING A JUROR ON THAT CASE. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE AND THE FEAR? IT WOULD TAKE ENORMOUS MORAL COURAGE FOR ANY JUROR TO IGNORE THE THREATS AND TAKE THE EVIDENCE TO THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION. SO MUCH COURAGE AT TIMES WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE IN A COUNTRY POLITICIZED AS OURS NOW IS. WE LEARNED TODAY, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE, THANK GOD. THIS AFTERNOON, THE JURY ACQUITTED RITTENHOUSE ON ALL CHARGES, THE JURY AFFIRMED WHAT WAS OBVIOUS FROM THE BEGINNING, HE ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE. IT WAS A WONDERFUL MOMENT. ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN IMPARTIAL JUSTICE WAS VINDICATED. THIS IS WHAT THE MOMENT LOOKED LIKE. >> WE THE JURY FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE NOT GUILTY. AS TO THE SECOND COUNT OF THE INFORMATION, RICHARD McGUINNESS, WE, THE JURY, FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE, NOT GUILTY. AS TO THE THIRD COUNT OF THE INFORMATION, UNKNOWN MALE, WE, THE JURY, FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE, NOT GUILTY. THE FOURTH COUNT OF THE INFORMATION, ANTHONY HUBER, WE THE JURY FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE, NOT GUILTY. AS TO THE FIFTH COUNT OF THE INFORMATION GABE GROSSKREUTZ, WE THE JURY FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE, NOT GUILTY. >> TUCKER CARLSON: REMARKABLE. MONTHS OF LYING FROM THE MEDIA IN THIS CASE IN THE END HAD NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER FROM THE JURY. PROPAGANDA DOESN'T ALWAYS WIN. TODAY IT WAS SOUNDLY DEFEATED. THANK GOD. OUR DOCUMENTARY TEAM WAS IN KENOSHA WHEN IT HAPPENED, THEY'VE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER A TUCKER CARLSON ORIGINALS SERIES ON THIS CASE. AND THEY CAPTURED HIS FIRST MOMENTS OUTSIDE OF THE COURT TODAY AFTER BEING ACQUITTED. >> IT'S THE STUFF THAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT. LIKE, ONCE YOU FINALLY DO GET TO SLEEP, YOUR DREAMS ARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND YOU'RE BREAKING UP IN A DARK, COLD SWEAT. >> YOU HAD DREAMS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? >> EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. IT'S QUITE SCARY, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE THE DREAMS STILL FEEL REAL AND THEY'RE NOT THE SAME AT ALL. THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN NARRATIVES THAT RUN THROUGH YOUR HEAD IN THE DAY LIKE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, LIKE, I'M ALIVE, BUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED? WHAT IF I WASN'T ALIVE. OR WHAT IF I DID -- SO THOSE TYPES OF DREAMS. IT'S BAD, BUT ALMOST EVERY OUTCOME IS EITHER ME GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR HURT OR DEAD, THOSE ARE JUST THE DREAMS I HAVE ON A DAILY BASIS. >> THE DEFENDANT WILL RISE, FACE THE JURY, AND WAIT FOR THE VERDICT. >> STATE OF WISCONSIN VERSUS KYLE RITTENHOUSE. THE FIRST COUNT, JOSEPH ROSENBAUM. WE, THE JURY, FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE, NOT GUILTY. AS TO THE SECOND COUNT OF THE INFORMATION, RICHARD McGUINESS, WE, THE JURY, FIND THE DEFENDANT KYLE H. RITTENHOUSE -- >> THE JURY REACHED THE CORRECT VERDICT, SELF-DEFENSE IS NOT ILLEGAL. AND I BELIEVE THEY CAME TO THE CORRECT VERDICT AND I'M GLAD EVERYTHING WENT WELL. IT'S BEEN A ROUGH JOURNEY, BUT WE MADE IT THROUGH IT. WE MADE IT THROUGH THE HARD PART. >> TUCKER CARLSON: YOU WATCH THAT CLIP, YOU'RE REMINDED MAYBE THE ONE PERSON IN AMERICA WHO HASN'T WEIGHED IN ON THE TRIAL IS KYLE RITTENHOUSE HIMSELF. SO FOR MONTHS, CNN, KAMALA HARRIS, AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEFINE HIM. THAT ENDS THIS MONDAY WHEN WE'LL HAVE HIM ON THE SHOW MONDAY NIGHT. WE HOPE YOU WILL. AS A LEGAL MATTER, THIS IS OVER. KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS INNOCENT IN A COURT OF LAW. HE'S FREE TO RESUME HIS LIFE. FOR THE AUTHORITARIANS AMONG US, THIS IS A DISASTER, THEY CAN'T LET IT GO. WHY? BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE RITTENHOUSE CASE IS A REFERENDUM ON THE MOST BASIC RIGHT OF ALL, THE ANCIENT RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE. IF KYLE RITTENHOUSE CAN SAVE HIS OWN LIFE FROM THE MOB, THEN YOU CAN TOO. THAT DRIVES THEM INSANE -- SO INSANE THAT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TODAY, JERRY NADLER OF NEW YORK IMPLIED KYLE RITTENHOUSE MAY FACE FEDERAL CHARGES. THIS VERDICT, IN AEDLER WROTE, JUSTIFIES FEDERAL REVIEW BY THE DOJ. SO JOE BIDEN'S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INDICT KYLE RITTENHOUSE NOW HE'S BEEN ACQUITTED BY A JURY IN WISCONSIN, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE. YOU HAVE TO BE DERANGED TO CONSIDER THAT. WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT ON THE COUNTRY. YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THESE PEOPLE. AT THE LEAST, THE CASE WILL BE USED TO JUSTIFY TAKING YOUR GUNS AWAY. BET ON IT. BUT, IF IT DOES GO TO THE FEDS, IF KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS PROSECUTED BY THE DOJ, THE CASE WILL BE HANDLED BY KRISTEN CLARK, THE BLACK NATIONALIST THAT RUNS THE CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE DIVISION THAT DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS, IN FACT, TRYING TO TAKE IT AWAY. LAST YEAR, SHE WEIGHED IN ON THE CASE AND ZEROED IN ON RITTENHOUSE'S COLOR, LIKE HIS RACE WAS SOME KIND OF CRIME. SHE DESCRIBED HIM AS A, QUOTE, ARMED WHITE MAN, KILLING INNOCENT PROTESTERS AT, QUOTE, POINT BLANK RANGE. WHAT DOES HIS RACE HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING, OF COURSE, BUT IT'S BEEN A FIXATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FROM THE FIRST MOMENT. THEY'VE TRIED TO RACIALIZE. SHE'S NOT THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TRYING TO DO THAT. JUST HOURS AFTER THE VERDICT, A CONGRESSMAN RELEASED THIS STATEMENT, QUOTE, IT IS DISGUSTING AND DISTURBING THAT SOMEONE WAS ABLE TO CARRY A LOADED ASSAULT RIFLE INTO A PROTEST AGAINST THE UNJUST KILLING OF JACOB BLAKE, AN UNARMED BLACK MAN. END QUOTE. SAVOR THAT. THAT'S THE HEAD OF THE DEMOCRAT KRALTIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN ARM. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS WRONG, NOT JUST A LIE, BUT -- JACOB BLAKE WAS NOT KILLED. HE WAS ALSO NOT UNARMED. HE WAS CARRYING A KNIFE, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE HE SAID HE WAS CARRYING A KNIFE. HE WAS TRYING TO KIDNAP A CHILD. THAT'S WHEN THE POLICE SHOWED UP. WHEN HE GRABBED A KNIFE, THEY SHOT HIM. THAT'S NOT IN DISPUTE. HE'S STILL ALIVE. IT DOESN'T MATTER. BECAUSE TO THESE PEOPLE, FACTS DON'T MATTER, CLEARLY. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY HAS NO INTEREST IN WHAT HAPPENED. KAMALA HARRIS SAID SHE WAS PROUD OF JACOB BLAKE LAST YEAR, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ARE STICKING WITH THAT TOO. THEY ARE TRYING AND THEY HAVE BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING TO MAKE THIS CASE INTO A RACIAL DIVIDE, TO FURTHER DIVIDE THE COUNTRY. KAMALA HARRIS TODAY SAID THAT THE OUTCOME OF THIS CASE, THE JURY'S VERDICT, WAS PROOF THAT OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS NOT, QUOTE, EQUITABLE, WHATEVER THAT MEANS. NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SAID IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY TORN DOWN AND REBUILT, OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, THAT WE'VE HAD FOR 250 YEARS, THE BEST THING IN OUR COUNTRY. THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE TRIED ON THE BASIS OF THE FACTS, NOT ON THE BASIS OF WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. THEY'D LIKE TO CHANGE THAT. ABC NEWS REPORTED THE SAME THING. THEY TOLD US, ABC NEWS, A NEWS CORPORATION JUST TOLD US THAT, IN FACT, JACOB BLAKE WAS KILLED IN KENOSHA. WATCH THIS. >> WELL, IT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT, FIRST FOR THE COMMUNITY OF KENOSHA, THIS CITY WAS TRAUMATIZED BY THE POLICE KILLING OF A BLACK MAN, JACOB BLAKE. >> THE POLICE KILLING OF A BLACK MAN WHO IS, IN FACT, STILL ALIVE. SO, WHAT ARE THEY DOING WHEN THEY TELL LIES LIKE THIS? LIES THAT YOU CAN CHECK VERY EASILY OR IF YOU HAVE A MEMORY THAT EXTENDS TO LAST YEAR, YOU RECALL VERY WELL. WELL, THEY'RE INSITING PEOPLE, OF COURSE. THEY'RE TRYING TO WHIP PEOPLE INTO A FRENZY ON THE BASIS OF CLAIMS THAT ARE TOTALLY PROVABLY UNTRUE. WHAT KIND OF A FRENZY? WELL CONSIDER THIS. THIS IS FROM A SENIOR ADVISOR AT THE D TRIPLE C, THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN ARM. HIS NAME IS DAJUAN ISSUING A CALL FOR RIOTS. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, HE WROTE IN THE WAKE OF THE VERDICT. WHO IS HE? HE SPENT A DECADE IN PRISON AFTER HE SHOT TWO PEOPLE. NOW HE WORKS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED IN WHOSE SIDE THEY'RE ON. BUT YOU KNEW THAT. A SPOKESPERSON FOR CONGRESSMAN VAL DEMOCRATINGS, ANOTHER DEMOCRAT, OFFERED THIS ASSESSMENT, THE CORE OF THE FAR RIGHT MOVEMENT IS THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO KILL YOU IF THEY WANT TO. THAT'S THE OFFICIAL LINE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TONIGHT. KEEP IN MIND, IF YOU WATCH THE TRIAL, YOU KNOW THIS, KYLE RITTENHOUSE WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET WHEN HE WAS CHARGED BY A CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST AND CHARGED BY A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE. HE SOUGHT NO CONFLICT. THERE WAS NEVER ANY EVIDENCE HE WAS THE AGGRESSOR IN ANY CASE. HE WAS AGGRESSED AGAINST. SO, JOE BIDEN ALSO WEIGHED IN ON THIS. HE GAVE TWO VERSIONS OF HIS VIEWS ON IT. FIRST HE SAID WE'RE GOING TO RESPECT THE JURY'S VERDICT. THEN WHEN HIS ADVISORS TOOK OVER AND WROTE A NEW PRESS STATEMENT, HE TOLD US HOW UPSET HE WAS BY THE VERDICT. AND THAT'S WHAT AIRED ON MSNBC ALL DAY. >> THE NEXT TIME THERE'S A -- A PROTEST OF SOME SORT, AND IT MAY GET POLITICIZED, THAT GUN OWNERS, WITH A CERTAIN IDEOLOGY MAY FEEL INCENTIVEIZED NOW, MAY FEEL EVEN EMBOLDENED. >> WHAT SOME MAY TAKE FROM THIS VERDICT IS VIGILANTE JUSTICE PREVAILED. >> KNOWING THE HISTORY OF VIGILANTE JUSTICE IN THIS COUNTRY ALL THE WAY BACK TO TIMES OF ENSLAVEMENT, WHEN PEOPLE WOULD BE DEPUTIZED TO GO DOWN AND ENSLAVE PERSONS WHO RAN AWAY, TO LYNCHING MOBS, THIS IS 2021. >> THE CURRENT AND FUTURE KYLE RITTENHOUSES OF THE WORLD THAT THEY CAN ENGAGE IN WHITE VIGILANTEISM AND BE LET OFF FOR IT, BE DEFENDED AND PROTECTED FOR PERPETUATING WHITE SUPREMACY. >> WHITE VIGILANTEISM, WHITE SUPREMACY, WHITE, WHITE. ALL OVER MEDIA ALL DAY LONG, EXPLICIT RACIAL ATTACKS. WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THIS CASE? AND IN WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY IS THAT ALLOWED WHEN THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY LEVEL EXPLICIT RACIAL ATTACKS AGAINST ONE OF THEIR COUNTRYMEN? MOST OF US DIDN'T GROW UP IN A COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE TALK LIKE THIS. THIS IS A REMINDER IN CASE YOU'RE TUNING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A YEAR, EVERYONE INVOLVE IN THIS CASE IS THE SAME COLOR. THE PEOPLE COUNSEL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS OFFERED THIS TAKE, WHICH WAS VERY COMMON TODAY ON THE LEFT. QUOTE, IT IS DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE A BLACK OR MUSLIM DEFENDANT ENGAGE IN THE SAME CONDUCT BEING FOUND NOT GUILTY. REALLY? WERE YOU HERE FOR THE O.J. TRIAL? IT'S RIDICULOUS. MSNBC, THE NETWORK BANNED FROM THE COURTHOUSE FOR FOLLOWING JURORS AROUND BROADCAST THIS FROM THE RELATIVE OF JACOB BLAKE. >> YOU TELL US WHY HE GOT A FREE RIDE. THE BAIL MONEY WAS RAISED BY THE PROUD BOYS, THE KU KLUX KLAN, THE NAZIS, THE SKIN HEADS. ARE THEY UP IN THIS COURTROOM? DO WE KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS JUDGE? TELL THESE PEOPLE IN KENOSHA FOR MANY YEARS. >> TUCKER CARLSON: IT'S REALLY, REALLY DARK. THE REST OF US SHOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO GET AWAY WITH RACIALIZING THIS, ALLOWING THEM TO GET AWAY OF ATTACKING PEOPLE ON THE BASIS OF THEIR SKIN COLOR. THAT IS ALWAYS GONE, WE WOULD NEVER ENGAGE IN THAT, NEVER HAVE, NO ONE SHOULD DO THAT. IT DIVIDES THE COUNTRY. IT'S IMMORAL, FLAT OUT. BUT SOMEHOW TO THE CRAZY LOGIC THAT GOVERNING THEIR POSITIONS AND DEEDS, THEY WIND UP DEFENDING CHILD RAPISTS AND DOMESTIC ABUSERS, ELEVATING THEM TO SOME SORT OF HERO STATUS. THE FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK BILLDY BLAS YOU WROTE, ANTHONY HUBER AND JOSEPH ROSENBAUM WERE VICTIMS, THEY SHOULD BE ALIVE TODAY. MAYBE WE'LL GET A SMALL STATUE OF ROSENBAUM. THE ACLU, WHICH YOU WOULD THINK WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF SELF-DEFENSE SUGGESTED CROSSING STATE LINES IS A CRIME. STAY IN YOUR OWN STATE. DESPITE HIS CONSCIOUS DECISION TO TRAVEL ACROSS STATE LINES AND INJURE ONE PERSON, TAKE THE LIVES OF TWO PEOPLE PROTESTING THE SHOOTING OF JACOB BLAKE BY POLICE, HE WAS NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTION. INSANITY. THE CONTINUOUS REFERENCES TO CROSSING STATE LINES ARE NOT INSIGNIFICANT. THEY'RE MEANINGLESS. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CROSS STATE LINES IF YOU'RE AN AMERICAN BECAUSE IT'S YOUR COUNTRY. YOU CAN GO TO ALL 50 STATES. WHY DO THEY BRING THAT TO EVERY ANALYSIS OF THE CASE? CROSSING STATE LINES. THEY WANT TO USE IT TO CHANGE GUN LAWS. THAT'S RIGHT. YOU WATCH. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE WORST PEOPLE ARE SAYING, TUNE IN TO JEB BUSH'S FORMER FLAK ON MSNBC. SHE TOLD US ANYONE WHO CROSSES STATE LINES IS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST. >> THE KYLE RITTENHOUSE ACQUITTAL NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS DID NOT HAPPEN IN A CULTURAL VACUUM. THERE'S ALARMING CONTEXT TO THIS MOMENT WE'RE CONSIDERING AND TALKING ABOUT. LAST WEEK, THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY RELEASED THE LATEST BULLETIN WARNING AMERICANS, AGAIN, OF THE ONGOING THREAT POSED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENT EXTREMISTS. WE SHOULD POINT OUT CONSERVATIVE MEDIA FOR MANY, MANY MONTHS HAVE BEEN PRIMING ITS AUDIENCE FOR THIS MOMENT, FRAMING RITTENHOUSE AS A HERO. >> TUCKER CARLSON: SO, WHY ARE WE INFLICTING TAPE LIKE THAT ON YOU ON A DAY WHEN ALL OF US SHOULD BE CELEBRATING. WE'LL TELL YOU WHY. BECAUSE NONE OF THAT MADE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE JURY. AND IF YOU'RE TOTALLY ABSORBED IN AMERICAN MEDIA, YOU GET THE IMPRESSION THAT AMERICAN MEDIA ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR COUNTRY. AND IT TURNS OUT, THEY'RE NOT. MOST PEOPLE DON'T WATCH THAT CRAP. THEY DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT SAY. THEY DON'T CARE AT ALL. THERE ARE A LOT OF RATIONAL, DECENT, THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE ON ALL SIDES OF ALL RACES IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE STILL WILLING TO THINK CLEARLY ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT, WHAT IS WRONG, WHAT IS FACTUAL, WHAT IS FALSE, WHAT IS JUST, AND WHAT IS NOT. AND TODAY, THEY DID. SO, THAT'S THE REAL LESSON HERE. IN THE FACE OF ALL OF THAT PROPAGANDA, A GROUP OF JURORS IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN, WERE BRAVE ENOUGH TO REACH THE RIGHT AND OBVIOUS CON
