Tucker Carlson's interview with innocent Kyle Rittenhouse begins with Rittenhouse speaking about how he wanted to help his community and he was concerned about the riots and destruction.
Speaking about the police response, Rittenhouse says the city of Kenosha didn't give them "the support they needed. The National Guard should have been called ... the city of Kenosha failed the community. The governor, Tony Evers, failed the community..."
Rittenhouse recounts his first run-in with convicted child rapist Rosenbaum, when Rosenbaum threatened to kill him. "What kind of sense did you get from Rosenbaum, I mean, that sounds deranged," Carlson asks.
The sleaziness of the prosecution gets revealed even more as Rittenhouse explains how they worked to keep the identity of "jump kick man" a secret from the defense and the jury.
Play-by-play of Rittenhouse recalling the mob of leftist extremists attacking him and him defending himself as he ran for the safety of the police line.
After saying he wanted to turn himself into the Kenosha police but couldn't because they weren't taking visitors, Carlson asks: "Why do you think people were burning Car Source, what does that have to do with civil rights?" Rittenhouse suspects they were "taking advantage" of BLM
Still experiencing dizziness from being struck in the back of the head, Rittenhouse turned himself in and the police arrested him with no charges drafted. Ane he's thankful for the amount of video taken that night showing proof he defended himself.
Coming back from a commercial, Rittenhouse praises the jailers for treating him well. He then revealed how his first lawyer, Lin Wood "held me in jail for 87 days, disrespecting my wishes," so he could raise money off of Rittenhouse and line his pockets.
Rittenhouse also called out his first legal team for planting the lie that he was a member of an "unorganized militia." "Which was just blatantly false. I didn't know what a militia was," he said.
"To be honest, tucker, this case has nothing to do with race. It never had anything to do with race. It had to do with the right to self-defense," Rittenhouse said.
The teen had a message for President Biden, who called him a white supremacist: "Mr. President, if I would say one thing to you, I would urge you to go back and watch the trial, and understand the facts before you make a statement." He then accused Biden of defaming him.
Hinting at possible future defmation suits against politicians and the liberal media, Rittenhouse says: "I have really good lawyers who are taking care of that right now. So, I'm hoping one day there will be some -- there will be accountability for their actions that they did."
The specter of still loomed large in Rittenhouse's mind up until the not guilty verdict was handed down. "It wasn't Kyle Rittenhouse on trial in Wisconsin. It was the right to self-defense on trial," he added. Warning a conviction would have meant bye-bye to the self-defense.
Following a commercial break, Rittenhouse described the disgusting conditions he was kept in while in jail. They gave him a tablet but NO RUNNING WATER. "From October 30 to November 20, I did not take a shower ... my skin was bleeding because my skin was coming off of my body."
Speaking about his plans for the future, Rittenhouse says he wants to become a nurse or maybe a lawyer. BUT: "I feel my life has been extremely defamed by it. I don't think I would be able to go out and get a job and not have to deal with harassment..."
CARLSON: Do you feel like you've been watched over?
RITTENHOUSE: I believe God has been on my side from the beginning
