Summary

18-year old Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all counts Friday after testifying that he acted in self-defense when he shot three people and killed two during protests in Kenosha Wisconsin. The trial has reignited an intense debate over guns and racial injustice in the U.S. and the right to self-defense. FOX News Contributor and Law Professor at George Washington University Jonathan Turley breaks down the case, and the future implications it has when it comes to self-defense. On Monday, November 22nd President Biden announced he would nominate Jerome Powell for his second term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The move comes on the heels of difficult economic hurdles and months of discussion surrounding whether the President would move in a different direction for Fed Chairman as the U.S. faces an uncertain path out of a pandemic-weakened economy. White House Correspondent for Fox News Business Edward Lawrence joins to explain what President Biden's choice for Fed chair means for the direction of the U.S. economy, Jerome Powell's experience within the Fed, and how Powell will address soaring inflation. Plus, commentary by syndicated columnist Cal Thomas. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
