Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show and Happy Veterans Day.

We begin today with the extraordinary developments in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, a case that

has captured national attention. The now 18-year-old stands accused of intentionally murdering

two people and trying to murder a third at a Black Lives Matter riot in August 2020 in

Kenosha, Wisconsin. That riot took place in the wake of the lawful police-involved shooting

of Jacob Blake, a man resisting arrest who pulled a knife on cops who was then shot seven

times by an officer. Days later, then 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse went to Kenosha to protect

the city from the planned riot, burning, and looting. He was given an AR-15 by a friend

in Kenosha and was heard on tape saying he wanted to help act as a medic and to keep the

piece, chaos ensued, and Kyle shot three people. For over a year, the media has condemned

this kid as a vigilante domestic terror as to when on an unjustified killing spree.

No open-mindedness to his claim of self-defense nor the videotapes that clearly backed that

up, or to his story that he went to Kenosha that evening to stop the lawless behavior of

others when police would not or could not. Here's a sample of that media coverage.

The 17-year-old vigilante, arguably a domestic terrorist, picked up a rifle, drove to a different

state to shoot people. Kyle Rittenhouse, a guy whose deeply racist went with weapons

to a Black Lives Matter protest, looking to get in trouble, he did, he murdered a couple

people. Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old kid, just running around, shooting and killing

protesters.
