I don t know if it was a smoking gun or we should set up expectations there was a spoking gun but the public deserves to know what happened in the first moments when he learned the white house was breached all the way up to when he put out that pathetic video. that was many, many hours. what was happening with sending in the guard. what was the president saying privately to kevin mccarthy? as much as we can know about that to demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt his complicity and his knowledge that he was being complicity in that attack on the capitol i think is better, is good. also, we don t contactually now if you move to congress, how direct was paul gosar and mel brooks and these guys, how closely would they working with the alexander type asks the oath keepers and the on the ground troops that had premeditated action to violence, these domestic terrorism groups.
The she made light hearted comments in an interview last week. sandra: brian kilmeade, host of fox and friends, and one nation with brian kilmeade. off to a great start. waiting to see, the press briefing is happening shortly at the white house and i don t know, we don t have a seat in the room, they are still on covid protocol so you know, not all the reporters can be in the room at one time. so she might not even get a question on this, but certainly it should be followed up. a couple of things, any time there is an opportunity to do a poll what matters most, inflation and crime. you flip them back and forth. i know you 0 in on that. and beyond a shadow of a doubt, 22 major cities see a significant rise of gun assaults, aggravated assaults, domestic violence, and homicides across the country, ok. so, we have identified there is a huge problem. do we agree on that. the question is, what are you
Determine and establish whether or not there was beyond a shadow of a doubt that he did not act in self-defense. so you know, to prove that you know, almost to prove a negative in this case. that was their burden. there s going to be a lot said about how the prosecution handled this case. we just heard from mark richards. he talked about the fact that the provocation point was brought in late in the game. we obviously had the issues with the video. when it came down to it, this jury of seven women and five men had to determine whether or not kyle rittenhouse acted in self-defense. in the end, they determined that he had. there s all of these bigger issues that really don t mean anything to the jury, right? they have that one mission before them. they re not supposed to solve society s ills or figure out whether or not kyle should have been out there that night. mark richards said if you had it to do over again and knew the
0 rittenhouse has to get on with his life the best he can. the attorney said i don t think he will continue to live in this area saying it s too dangerous. he s had 24/7 security since this all happened. john, great to be covering this breaking news with you. i m sandra smith. john: and i m john roberts taking off next week so have a good thanksgiving. the story with martha starts now. martha: thank you very much, john and sandra. good afternoon. i m martha maccallum. breaking right now on the story, not guilty verdicts for kyle rittenhouse as we look at the live scene outside of the courthouse in kenosha, wisconsin. a place that we have all become much more familiar with over the course of this trial and over the remembrance last summer of the violence that spilled in to the streets and what we saw take place on that august evening in 2020. so we have just heard from his attorney moments ago. we heard some of what his take-away was in terms of this case and as we just watched
In the first and in the nation primary process to want a gop candidate with a 2.0 approach and i am hearing from them, they re ready for real leadership. you know, if we are all being honest with ourselves, we wouldn t let donald trump or joe biden be the leader of any company in this country. certainly, not even a lemonade stand, we wouldn t pick them. but yet, they re both of them were the the presidents of our country. we need to look for better we need to expect better as americans and i certainly think that that s where we re headed. it doesn t feel like it today but i can guarantee you, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that when whe we wake up in 2024, america, especially republicans, are going to want to vote for adults in the room and i think gop 2.0 is going to represent that. all right. we will be seeing what happens there. in the meantime, only nine republicans voted to hold steve bannon in contempt of congress this week. what do you say to the rest of the gop lawmakers i
