my attorney john pierce said we are going to keep us at this facility. to be extradited. i had no problem that but he forgot to file -- he didn't even know i was going. so my attorney didn't know i was going to jail, which is quite sickening because he should have known. d >> tucker: well, yes. that's the whole point of an attorney. >> thank god i have competent counsel now. but the jail was interesting. i was in my own room. it was kind of like, like a -- i'm going to describe it as a one star hotel. one star hotel. we'll go with a super 8. >> tucker: super 8. >> i had a desk. i had a shower. i had a toilet. i had a tv. i had a tablet. but i didn't have running water. >> tucker: seriously? >> i had a phone also but i did not have running water so i didn't shower until november 20th. >> tucker: how long is that? >> from october 30 to november 20, i did not take a shower. i felt terrible, i lost weight. my health was degrading. if i was in there for a month longer i probably would have been in the hospital. >> tucker: no running water?re >> no running wat

i'm john pierce in the office of cannabis. let's take it way back before the state of california legalized the use of cannabis, there were medicinal cannabis dispensaries called mcds. they existed in the city prior to 2017 when the law was changed. after the law was changed, our office issues a different kind of permit to new medical dispensaries. our permits are governed under article 16. the conditions of article 16 are different than the conditions that govern medical cannabis dispensaries. the proposal that supervisor safai is talking about would change the laws that currently govern mcds which say you have to have these labor agreements, it would change that to the same law that applies to article 16 which say you have to have more than ten. >> president laguana: so, currently, it says ten if it's medical. >> correct. >> president laguana: okay. vice president zouzounis. >> vice president zouzounis: thank you so much director pierce and e.j. for being here from the supervisor's office. can you just repeat back to me, what

john pierce and lynn wood, john pierce and i'll say this because it's the truth and we have the billso back it up -- was billing this kid at 1,200 bucks an hour for going out and buying a shirt for him, for taking his family to breakfast or lunch. it's ridiculous. and there might be some attorney somewhere on the earth that's worth $1,200 an hour, it's not john pierce. >> now, look, one of the things that didn't come out tonight and it didn't come out for a bad reason. it has nothing to do with your client, it has nothing to do with you, but it does have to do with the situation and the venue. lynn wood is a suspicious character because he has been peddling the same kind of trumpy rigged election stuff as the guy who interviewed your client tonight. and does that concern you at all about what it attaches an 18-year-old to? >> well, i mean, kyle had the common sense and good judgment to get away from lynn wood, and i give him credit for that. you know, lynn said -- and it's what he said to me when he threatened to see me, i wasn't his criminal attorney. if he wasn't his criminal attorn

in the end they were represented by a pair of lawyers called linwood and john pierce.his came up out of in where. we were not expecting to have this conversation. we were taken by surprise a little bit but it's really interesting. here's kyle rittenhouse's description of what his lawyers did to him. >> tucker: you get arrested, what happens then? >> once i'm arrested, i go to -- juvenile facility and i've got to say thank you to them for their professionalism. >> tucker: the jailers? >> the guards, depke. they were the upmost professional people i have ever met. >> tucker: really? >> exactly. some of the most professional people i have ever met. amazing. like they treated me with respect. and they didn't like talk down to you like you've seen like in some videos, they just treated me like i was a human. >> tucker: how long were you there? >> i was in jail for 87 days, and this falls in with linwood -- linwood was raising money on my behalf, and he held me in jail for 87 days, disrespecting my wishes. put me on media interviews which i should never have done, which he s

john pierce never had that video , we have talked to tucker karlsson's show. the video that was on tucker crossan's show started right when rosenbaum through the back. it is a huge difference. that is what they built their whole case on with that garbage photo, and may be -- you do not expect everything in the trial ever, and that program that they used in expert from the crime lab specifically says on the company's blog artificial intelligence enhancements are not to be used for forensic evidence, and they did it, and our research after, it would have been the subject of a huge motion. we do not have to do it. >> [indiscernible] >> you know, i do not know that it says -- i mean, there is -- i personally do not like people carrying ar-15's around. you know, there was so much anger and fear in kenosha on august 25 that people did armed themselves, and we knew from the beginning that if you read that statue correctly, i know everybody thought i was crazy, if you read the statute correctly, he was legal and having that firearm, and obviously once the evidence cam

the lynn wood's, the john pierce's who were basically trying to get money for their own causes.ight an extradition that was unwinnable because they were raising tons of money on them. lynn wood and i went head to head. they'll probably sue me for it, but he's an idiot who let him talk to the wa"the washington p while he was under charges for murder. i mean, come on. >> how do you want to be remembered in this. it's going to be politicized. rittenhouse is going to be politicized. people are going to be upset that a white kid with a gun was congratulated with the police and offered water when he should have been shewed off the street at a minimum. he was able to kill two people and get away with it. how do you want to be remembered in this? >> i'm a criminal defense lawyer. i fought for my client. i got what i believe was a true and just result, and i don't care if people remember me. i'm going to go on about my life. i'll go back, you know, to my office, to my family, and the next case will come along and i'll fight that one. i'm not a cause lawyer. >> you're not a what? >> cause

you know, john pierce is the person who posted the bond. all of that money was raised on behalf of kyle. lynn wood say they're entitled to it. and when i use round numbers but there was half a million dollars that came from wendy rittenhouse from money that she had raised. so there is going to be a fight over that. and i'm just thankful that there will be a fight over that. because if he lost, it wouldn't have mattered. >> what do you say to the -- the first responders? >> he wants to be a nurse. >> what is your biggest take away from the 25-plus hour jury deliberation. what do you think that says? >> i need to be more patient. >> now that he has been -- could you book back and point to a pivotal moment that was successful for you that that you think created this outcome? >> getting rid of the first two lawyers. and that might be a smart-alicky comment but i mean that. and i got my best friend cory to join who i trust. and to be able to work with somebody who you don't have to check their work. you don't worry about what they're going to be

john pierce is the person who posted the bond. all of that money was raised on behalf of kyle. lin wood and fight back say they're entitled to it. i'm using round numbers but there was half a million dollars i think that came directly from wendy rittenhouse from money she had raised. so there's going to be a fight over that. and i'm just thankful that there will be a fight over that, because if he had lost, it wouldn't have mattered. >> reporter: kyle had aspirations of being a first responder. >> he wants to be a nurse. >> reporter: what do you think the time of the jury deliberation says? >> i have to be more patient. >> reporter: what is a pivotal moment that you think created this outcome? >> getting rid of the first two lawyers. and, you know, that might be a smart alecy comment but i mean that. i got my best friend cory to join, who i trust. and to be able to work with somebody who you don't have to check their work, you don't worry about what they're going to be doing, you give them a project and it's done as good or better as you would do yourself. it's the prosecutor's

rittenhouse's former attorney john pierce will be on "fox and friends first" to discuss the trial. >> breaking it is our brand-new details, the white house plans to address the leaders of canada and mexico at the north american summit this afternoon as trade, pipeline politics in the border crisis remain key issues. david spontaneous details on the get together. >> this meeting comes a few days after that hours long summit with chinese president xi jinping. he may be an adversary, the leaders of mexico and canada are on much friendlier terms with the biden white house, president biden set to meet in hours with canadian prime minister justin trudeau and mexican president obrador and there are plenty of topics on deck. some of those topics just released, canada and mexico will pay back vaccines the us lent them but instead of paying back they will share vaccines with other countries. that will determine the timing of the migration discussion and very much on what the 3 governments can do outwardly in the region to get the root causes and create more legal pathways to increase access to

john pierce will be on "fox and friends first" to discuss the trial. >> a bill honoring 13 servicemembers killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan, 11 marines, one army staff sergeant lost their lives in the attack against the kabul airport, unanimous consent awards each of those heroes with the congressional gold medal. jillian: as i mentioned i am here in hollywood, florida where the patriot awards were held last night. pete hegseth hopes to the show and opened with a joke. >> i never ever thought i would host a hollywood award show but here we are in the real hollywood, hollywood florida. >> i didn't know he was going to be here but florida governor ron desantis welcoming the show to the sunshine state. >> we were not going to let florida descend into a fauciand dystopia where people's freedoms worker tale than their livelihoods were destroyed. >> us olympian receiving the most valuable patriot award for showing pride in the country after winning the gold moment. the tenant internal scott evacuating americans from afghanistan. >> this is for the men and women who went into the breach

at the time we were interviewing a law called john pierce who was then representing kyle rittenhouse.look at the pictures on the right-hand side of your screen. that's really a tertiary charge anyway because -- let me ask you about the first shooting of joseph rosenbaum. the second two, one man was shot in the arm. the other was shot in the midsection and died. both of them clearly and it's obvious on video attacked rittenhouse. but the first shooting was rittenhouse fired upon before he fired? did he believe he was fired upon?po what were the circumstances of that shooting?g? so that drone footage that you just saw was right there that aired on this show has become part of the rittenhouse case. the prosecutors claim that footage shows kyle rittenhouse raising his rifle in provocative manner accused arsonist joshua ziminiski. the prosecution's theory of the case is joseph rosenbaum the child rapist began chasing written house after rittenhouse pointed his rifle at ziminiski apparently the pedophile the honor of accused rapist. that's their claim. joshua ziminiski like maurice freeland

>> kyle's family and his advisor, the lynnwoods, the john pierces who were basically, you know, i think were trying to get this kid out for money for their own causes. >> fox paid for that access? did the money guys have a deal with them? this is a problem. that's it for us tonight. "don lemon tonight" starts right now with the big star d. lemon. i don't care if people get access. i said to my team, look, if they want to give me access to it, i would film someone's defense in a high-profile case like this. i don't know why anyone would allow this. the guys on tv at night saying the kid is innocent and at the same time he's embedded because the money guys paying for the defense want his cameras there? >> chris, you're not shocked by that, are you? i'm shocked people that sup supposedly care for this kid would allow him and his future to be framed this way. >> yes, because it's about money. it's not just the advisers and whatever. it's the attorneys, as well. he's a great lawyer. he has a great demeanor. i agree with most everything he said. what he said about guns. it's what most america

john pierce never had that video. we have talked to fox news. the video that was on tucker carlson's show started right when rosenbaum through the bag. it did not start with the part they showed at the beginning. it's a huge difference. that's what they built their whole caisson with that garbage photo you don't expect everything in a trial ever. that program that they used and the expert from the crime lab specifically says on the company's blog, artificial intelligent enhancements are not to be used for forensic evidence. and they did it. our research would've been the subject of the huge motion. we don't have to do it. >> saying that you didn't want this to be about a cause. [indistinct] >> i don't know that it says -- i mean, i personally don't like people carrying ar-15s around. there was so much anger and so much fear in kenosha on august 25th the people did arm themselves. we knew from the beginning that if you read that statute correctly. if you read it correctly, he was legal in having a firearm. obviously once the evidence came in the

the lin woods, the john pierces, who basically, you know, i think were trying to whore this kid out forr own causes. >> fox pay for that access? did the money guys have a deal with them? this is a problem. that's it for us tonight. "don lemon tonight" starts right now with its big star, d lemon. i don't care if people get access. you know, i was saying to my team, hey, look. if they wanted to give me access to it, i would film somebody's defense in a high-profile case like this. i don't know why a real lawyer would allow it and this one didn't. but the guy is on tv at night saying the kid is innocent. and the same time, the money guys who are paying for the defense want his cameras there? >> chris, you are not shocked by that, are you? >> i am shocked that people who supposedly care about this kid so, therefore, i do not think they do, would allow him and his future to be framed this way. >> yes, it -- because it's about money. it's not just the advisers and whatever. it's the attorneys, as well. you heard -- by the way, i -- he is a great lawyer. he has a great demeanor. i agree with m

. >> this was legislation we worked on so maybe the acting director i think john pierce can speak aboutt. >> this is acting director of the office of cannabis. thank you for your concern. supervisor, this is a modification of the timeline in the code that you're reading. it's actually an extension from 120 days as it is currently written to a longer timeline so to address the main point is not producing the timeline for changing anythingin our process. it's actually giving us your time to address complaints . to your second fundamental question, the reauthorization process is holistic and involves a lot of checks and things that we do including considering the businesses equity considerations andwe wouldn't , if there was a bad faith attempt to lodge a complaint the day before a renewal was due we would consider that as article renewal process. we've never had that before and don't anticipate that in the future and the other thing i'll flag is that these mcd's are slated tobe transitioned article 60 permits and the not-too-distant future so this is a temporary piece of legislation . >>
