During a sit-down interview, the acquitted teenager explained to Daily Wire host Candace Owens he's back at Arizona State University after a cancellation effort against him led Rittenhouse to clear things up with the directors there.

During the interview, Rittenhouse reiterated to Owens that his life was normal before that fateful night in August 2020 throughout the consecutive protests where he was forced to take up arms to defend himself against a pursuing mob.
"I was a lifeguard, I was a swim instructor, and I was a firefighter EMT cadet, and a police explorer, so I just wanted to help people before all this. And I still wanna help people," Rittenhouse told Owens according to the Daily Wire.
