rittenhouse acted alone.se are the questions we should be asking. >> these are important questions and i understand your points whchlt mr. rittenhouse says that it was in self-defense because your client had a gun and obviously the photojournalist is saying that he did indeed and the other arm have a hand gun, what's your response to that? is there any way that it could have been self-defense? >> i think my response to that is why did mr. rittenhouse come with an armed weapon wearing gloves on with the intent, i believe, to shoot people? and by him continually saying this, this is my job, this is my job, which is on video, who are the people that told him that this was his job? those are the questions that should be asked. why didn't he have gloves on? he didn't have a mask on. he was gloved that whole night. he was walking around looking at different people with his weapon. and he was supposedly protecting property that had absolutely nothing to do with him. he didn't walk from kenosha back to illinois, so w

rittenhouse was able to walk away from the scene.acob blake's father said there are two justice systems, one if you are white and another if you are black. >> i think the father is right. i don't know all of the details. but here is what i do know. i know that someone suspected and alleged as the police association says not confirmed by official sources that he might have been armed with a knife. we don't know that until it is brought out by official sourcs s what you see for yourself is that this 17-year-old who walked up to a police car and several other trying to turn himself in. that is what it looks like. people are yelling at the police officer saying he just shot someone. whether they heard him or not i don't know. nobody arrested him. he went back to his home. he turned himself in the next day. if that is not two different starts, i don't know what is wolf. >> don lemon, thank you very much. important note to the viewers. be sure to join don 10:00 p.m. eastern and join him for his podcast silence is not an option. very import

what do you make of the politization of the rittenhouse case?ion and polarization is very dangerous. what we need right now is, you know, for de-escalation to happen, not for further legitimation of vigilante violence and people taking, as militia members, or as individual vigilantes, this sort of violence into their own hands. >> and you say that white supremacists in extremism has been rising over the years, noting that charlottesville was a wake-up call to the mainstream and normalization of such extremism, even back in 2017. why do you believe this ideology inspires the sense of, i guess, responsibility and a call to action among extremists? >> well, i think one of the things that's really important to note is what we saw in kenosha and what we're seeing across the country, especially this summer, is a toxic mix of a variety of militia groups and extremist groups who do not agree and come at it from different angles. so we have white supremacist groups in the mix and also groups who believe in the use of violence for civil -- to spark a civi

rittenhouse prior to the shooting.s you just showed, we see "the daily caller" interview, as well as several other interviews with him early on, where he claims to be protecting property at this car dealership/auto shop. and he spends most of the time prior to the shooting around this one area. we see him there with this group of armed men, and they are protecting this dealership. and about 15 minutes prior to the shooting, in that location, we actually see them have an interaction with police. and so, what that looks like is police officers coming up to this group. they actually thank them for their work. they say, we really appreciate you guys, we really do. they give them water. and during that time, kyle is speaking to them directly, and he's armed with his ar-15-style rifle during this interaction with police. about five minutes after that -- >> in that time -- >> yeah? >> yeah, i'm sorry. i was going to say, is it also true that prior to the first shooting with which he was involved, he renders some form of assis

am that is kylee rittenhouse.. yourur response, representative bowen? >> first off, whenever you h hae a situation where aa 17-yearar-d is c crossing statee lines, it s illegal for a 17 euroro to even have a an assaulult weaeapon, an assault rifle. to that degree, liverer problem. i think the bibiggest ing thahai cacan sense right now is for ths false claim that theree was a defefense of property. you u don't walklk around shooog people away y from the propertyy that you supposedly were there to defend. that has ties to thisis white supremacist moveme. but itit is very clear that they were onn a hunting spree. this was not the defense of property. we should be very clear about that. i remember when i first got involved in social change, i inld to a kkk rally here milwaukee at the age of about 14 years old. we were part of the opposition to the kkk to making sure they knew that they could not come to this rally, could not come to the city and try to spread their hateful views and would not find the opposition there. i remember seeing children with ,olks

kyle rittenhouse went to kenosha with a semiautomatic weapon. what did people think was going to happen? so the president of the use is, in fact, fomenting problems here, which is why the mayor, the governor and the police chief of kenosha asked him not to come tomorrow. but he sees this as an event in his political project here, so he's going to come. >> david, is it advantageous for the president to have this conversation sort of on his terms, in his wheelhouse where he can inflame things in this fashion, as opposed to what you were saying a few moments ago, talking about the coronavirus, taking questions on the coronavirus? he obviously would rather have these press conferences morph into an hour of his grievances and conspiracy theories. >> he would. and the question is how they're received by the american people. i have no doubt there's a segment of the trump base, he said it, with going to kenosha will create enthusiasm, he said, which i thought was an odd choice of words. he thinks there's political advantage in that. the question is whet

the defense attorney said a lot when rittenhouse was charged last week.ak down for us, expand for us more on this self-defense claims that were made there. >> because of the videos we've already seen, rittenhouse has a very narrow avenue of defense there. some options are just not available. there are those like some other dude did it, s-o-d-s-o-d-d-i. >>> he has to paint rittenhouse as a good american, somebody who was exercising his lawful rights and doing good for the community and third they will look at each bullet fired, that it was justified by self-defense. that's going to look at whether it was right or not, whether he was in reasonable fear for his safety. >> reasonable fear, though, but when rittenhouse is carrying an ar-type-style rifle, how is that? also when we talk about this establishment, a militia back to the framework of the constitution so many years ago, how does that make sense to establish a defense in that way when that doesn't even exist in this country anymore? >> yeah. the situations back at the time of the framing of the consti
