Young men feel directionless, and one of the best answers to that problem is building something real. Start a business, learn a trade, create something new and useful. Take ownership over your own life instead of waiting around for permission from some corporation or government agency. The problem is that actually building a business is hard enough already. Then you run into the banking system. A lot of small business owners are profitable. They're growing and doing everything right. But big banks still bury them in paperwork and drag the process out for weeks or months, just to access capital they need right now.

More than 70% of small businesses need additional funding at least once a year. That's why Cardiff exists. If you want bank rates without the bank delays, go to cardiff.co slash Walsh for up to $500,000 in same-day funding. They funded more than $12 billion for businesses since 2004. The application takes less than five minutes. There's no impact on your personal credit. Businesses can get approved in minutes and funded the same day, which means instead

of wasting months fighting bureaucracy, business owners can actually focus on growing their company, hiring people, expanding operations, buying equipment and inventory. Banks try to lock out small businesses. Cardiff has the key. Big banks may not want to approve your business loan, but Cardiff does. If you've been in business for at least a year, pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same-day funding at cardiff.co slash Walsh. Again, that's cardiff.com.com slash Walsh, real growth, fast funding. Cardiff, borrow better. From the moment Carmelo Anthony killed Austin Metcath in front of dozens of witnesses, it was obvious he was guilty. Anthony brought a prohibitive.

knife to attract me, trespassed into the other team's tent, refused to leave, reached into his bag in a threatening manner, challenged people to fight him, brutally stabbed an unarmed 17-year-old who lightly shoved him in response, then ran away and tried to hide the murder weapon. Now, not too long ago in our country's history, somebody like Carmelo Anthony in that kind of situation would already be executed for his crime at this point, and rightfully so. And yet, even with these facts in mind, the trial of Carmelo-Anthony. Anthony has revealed a slew of new details that underscore just how horrific and premeditated this murder was. It's not an overstatement to say that Anthony's defense has imploded

far more quickly than anyone had anticipated. As bad as you thought this case was for Carmelo, it's much worse. The trial has also revealed that everybody in that tent, including Carmelo Anthony's friend, a defense witness in this case, understands that he was culpable. But Before we get into the latest developments in the trial, and we'll cover it fairly and comprehensively, we need to establish at the outset that this trial isn't really about Carmelo Anthony in isolation. This trial is also about the $600,000 that was donated to Anthony's defense, mostly by black people solely because he murdered a white teenager. This trial is about the hordes of black activists outside the courtroom,

cheering for a murderer and endorsing his violent depraved behavior. solely because he murdered a white teenager. It's also about our post-1960s legal system, which prohibits schools from punishing dangerous black students like Carmelo Anthony and which forces white people to live around them. Today we're launching part two of our documentary on the Civil Rights Movement on the Daily Wire called The Looting of America, which demonstrates in graphic detail exactly how we ended up in a country like this.

We talk about how many white people came to be terrified in their own neighborhoods at schools, at track meets, everywhere, because of court-ordered busing, public housing policy, and so-called urban renewal efforts. We talk about the development of a fundamental unstated rule of modern society, a rule we're all familiar with, and which Austin Metcalf broke, which states that you're supposed to tolerate antisocial behavior by a young black male, no matter how offensive. if it may be, or else you'll end up dead. It sounds like an overstatement, but it's not. We're all expected to go about our lives with the understanding that if we dare to offend a young black man, we could end up in a body bag. As the writer Patrick Casey put it, Austin Metcalf's murder is particularly salient because almost everyone, regardless of race, has encountered a black person carrying out an antisocial act,

cutting in line, mouthing off, blasting music on the subway, etc., which is a company to by the implicit threat of violence. Most people don't want to share a society with people who routinely violate public norms and are prepared to murder anyone who objects. So when you see the vagrant kicking trash cans down the street, you're supposed to walk the other way, or else you might end up stabbed to death,

like that left-wing activist in Brooklyn a few years ago. Now, we talked about this story on the show at the time. The white guy made the mistake of getting up off his bench and engaging with this crazed black guy. And he should have done that, obviously. He should have done the racist thing, quote unquote, and just cross the street. But he'd rather risk his life and die than violate the sacred rule. And along the same lines, when you see some unknown black athlete in your team's tent,

refusing to leave and acting belligerent, you're supposed to look the other way. And if he ends up stealing your property, oh well, at least you're alive. and not racist. John Derbyshire got fired from the National Review for saying this, but it's obviously true. Every white father needs to have the talk with his child about black violence and antisocial behavior. It's simply a fact that on average black people are far more likely to resort to violence at the slightest provocation.

This is how justice works in the hood. If they feel their honor is threatened or that they're being disresolved, respected, in many cases, they will shoot or stab you without any hesitation. Now, it doesn't mean that all black people are violent, obviously, but the statistics are indisputable. If you tell a black guy on the subway to turn his music down, you're risking your life to a much, much greater degree than if you said the same thing to say a Chinese woman or a white man. Now, we can be fairly confident that Austin, Matt Calf never received this talk based on the public statements of his father in this case when he told everyone that race had nothing to do with his son's death.

But it's a vital conversation for every child to hear, including black children. Most of the homicides in cities like Chicago or Detroit or Baltimore are related to some impulsive act of violence committed by a usually young black male who feels he's been wronged in some relatively minor way. And when these young black men leave their neighborhoods and interact with white people at track meets or on the side of the road or on the subway or anywhere else, that attitude doesn't change. Many of them are still willing to kill over any challenge to their authority no matter how slight. So everyone needs to be aware of the risk. You know, it's also worth pointing out that the type of violence overwhelmingly perpetrated by young black males is almost always cowardly and dows. dishonorable. You know, very often it's a group assaulting one person, often kicking and beating the victim while he was on the ground, stomping on his head. We've all seen this a million times in

videos and so on. The assault is usually committed suddenly with no chance for the victim to defend himself. Carmelo Anthony pulled out the knife and stabbed Austin Metcalf in one fell swoop, then ran away. Medcaf never had a chance. And I point this out because often the violence is prompted by the assailant's feeling that he's been, as I said, disrespected or dishonored in some way. Now, there was a time in the history of Western civilization when white men would resort sometimes to violence over disrespect. That's what dueling was all about, a practice that was commonplace in Europe and the

United States for centuries, so common that famously a sitting vice president shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. But the whole point of a duel was that both participants knew exactly what was going to happen. They were both armed. They were meeting at a specific time and place to have the duel, and it was a fair fight. The idea was that in order to reclaim your honor, you had to fight honorably and honestly. Now, say what you will about the practice of dueling, but it was at least fair, and it took real physical courage for both parties involved. Now, these days, a young black male will feel that his honor has been challenged in some way and respond with sudden, disproportionate,

unannounced violence against an almost always unarmed, unprepared opponent, and then run away while his victim bleeds to death on the ground. It's violence done over alleged disrespect, but committed in the most craven, disreputable, gutless way possible. Now, is this an exclusively black mentality? No, it's not. There are other groups that also engage in disproportionate violence in response to criticism. That's why Henry Novak is dead. It's a third world mentality more generally, but in this country, by far, the greatest perpetrators of this kind of impulsive, inexplicable violence are young black men, and it's not even close. One wrong word, and you could be dead. And we don't solve the problem by ignoring it, pretending it's not true,

we all know it is, we're calling people racist when they voice their concerns about it, or change their behavior to minimize the risk to their family. The more we ignore what's happening, the more innocent people will die. Now, just the other day, a white student at Penn State named Billy Schmidt, was slaughtered in the streets of South Philadelphia over a cell phone. And just based on that information alone, you can easily guess what the attackers look like. We all know that. Okay, when you hear that someone was killed over a cell phone,

you immediately know the demographics of the people who did it. You immediately know this was not a group of white middle-aged men. despite how it would be portrayed if this was, you know, happened in a Hollywood movie. It wasn't a roving gang of Koreans. It wasn't like a splinter cell of Japanese females. That wasn't any of that. Here's what happened. The final moments of 22-year-old Billy Schmidt's life were caught on camera pleading for his cell phone.

It's very upsetting. Video from Ezra Rolandavich's porch camera at 1.30 Saturday morning shows two young men talking with Billy, who's off camera to the left. Seconds later, we see Billy follow them into the street toward 20th Endurfer. Moments later, a gunshot is heard. We've muted that audio out of respect for the family. Over a phone, it's appurant. It's just unbelievable that someone would kill someone over a phone.

His father says he was returning from a local bar where he was watching the NBA. finals with his friends. In this video captured by nearby homes cameras, you can see what led up to the shooting. It shows one of the men throwing a cell phone. A few seconds later, another man comes running around the corner with Billy chasing him. The gunman then turns around and shoots Billy in the chest. Billy's father says he's the one who found Billy's phone under a car and gave it to police. I'm shocked when they stole his phone. He chased the kid. He's very low key. It's incomprehensible to that woman, how anyone could be murdered over a cell phone. She truly can't process it.

And indeed, it's a foreign concept to the overwhelming majority of people. The odds are good that in your life, you don't know anyone who would even dream of stealing someone's phone than shooting them over it. But out in the hood, it's commonplace. Many young black men who are often raised without fathers believe that they're entitled to do whatever they want. They don't consider the long-term consequences of their actions. they don't control their impulses. They see a challenge to their authority, and they respond with lethal force.

If they want to come inside the tent, then they should be allowed to be inside the tent. Why? Because they want to. And if you try to make them leave, they can kill you. That's what they think. And therefore, if you want to maximize your life expectancy, you have to realize how quickly these mainly young black men will kill you without a second thought.

You need to act accordingly. In this case, as his father pointed out, Billy Schmidt made the decision to chase after these thugs who had just robbed him and yelled, give me back my phone. And he had every right to do that, of course. I mean, in a civilized society, it would be the reasonable thing to do. But South Philadelphia is not a civilized society. Thugs in the hood will shoot you without hesitation if you get in their way.

There's no logic behind any of it. Indeed, just before one of the robbers then shot Billy Schmidt, the other thief tossed the stolen phone under her car. So they committed armed robbery and first-degree murder all for a cell phone they didn't even take. This is the kind of depravity that most people, functioning people, can't even fathom. Now, the flip side of the equation, the one every parent needs to drill into the minds of their children, is that Billy Schmidt vastly underestimated the danger he was in. That's not to blame Billy Schmidt. He obviously didn't deserve to lose his phone, much less his life.

but as a factual matter, many, many white people are underestimating the danger that they're in when they're in these kinds of situations, particularly in cities like Philadelphia. They've been indoctrinated with years of BLM propaganda in all aspects of life against their will. They've been taught that, you know, the disproportionate number of black people who are incarcerated, it's only because of racist police. You know, it's not because they commit crimes more often, which is the reality. it's because the police are racist, which is stupid. And over time, they internalize that propaganda. They come to believe that it's true. And in many cases, they die as a result.

Now, as As the trial testimony has demonstrated beyond any doubt, Carmelo Anthony is yet another young black male who resorted to murder after his antisocial behavior was called out.

In particular, the trial has revealed that Anthony is guilty of murder for two separate independent reasons. First, he provoked a violent confrontation, which means he's not allowed to claim self-defense under Texas law. Anthony knew he was breaking a well-established social norm and he was looking for an excuse to kill anyone who challenged him. And secondly, Anthony used lethal force in response to his situation where he clearly was not in danger of being killed or suffering any sort of great bodily harm whatsoever. And because any claim of self-defense has to be objectively reasonable, his defense falls apart. Now, we'll start with the testimony on the question of provocation, which is to say whether Anthony provoked the attack. One very important detail, which hasn't received anywhere near as much attention as it should, is the fact that he was keeping his hand in his bag in a threatening manner long before Austin Metcalfe touched him. Anthony was strongly suggesting that he had some kind of weapon in the bag and that he was willing to use it.

And although there was testimony suggests that Matt Caff thought Anthony was bluffing, he even said, this is Frisco, you don't have anything in there or something to that effect. The truth is, he didn't know. Someone had walked into his team's tent, and now he was sending the message that he might be armed. And on top of that, as one witness testified, Anthony was told 15 times to leave the tent. but every single time he refused. This is testimony from a 16-year-old boy at the trial is reported by CBS Dallas, which was allowed into the courtroom, quote, prosecutor Bill Worski,

did you become aware of someone not on the team in your tent? Witness, yes, he sat next to me. This is Carmela. Prosecutor, Bill Worski, did this worry you, bother you, or seem kind of normal? Witness, it was kind of strange because everyone is supposed to be in their home tent. Bill Werski. What did Carmelo say? Witness. He says he wasn't leaving and says a profanity.

Bill Werski. What did Carmelo do? Witness. He was starting to get more aggressive. Prosecutor. What does he say next? Witness. F you all, I'm not going to leave. You're all a bunch of P-words. Prosecutor. Did Austin take the lead? Witness. Yes, Carmelo put his hand in the bag and said five times, touch me and see what happens. Austin said he's not going to touch this guy, he was calm. Prosecutor. What did you see during the stabbing? Witness, you saw a big hole and blood coming from his upper body. Prosecutor. At some point, did you decide to unfreeze and do something? Witness, yes, he had a knife, so he ran to the left side of the field. I heard Xavier say, Austin looks dead. So Anthony demonstrated the exact opposite of the state of mind you need to have in order to claim self-defense. He's not afraid of anyone in the tent. He made

that very clear. Instead, he's challenging them to a fight. He's calling them names and applying that they're weak and afraid, you know, throwing profanity at them. He's refusing to leave after 15 instructions to do so. He's taunting them. He's communicating to them that he has a weapon in an area where weapons are strictly prohibited. Meanwhile, he isn't being threatened. He isn't being backed into a corner.

No one is preparing to draw any kind of weapon on him. So Anthony had no reason to even consider using lethal force in this scenario. On the other hand, if you're Austin Metcalf, you actually have a very good reason to fear for your safety and the safety of your teammates. A witness testified that several other athletes had stopped by the tent that day, but all of them were turned away by coaches because of the expectation that only memorial athletes would be in the tent. And all of those other athletes left without incident. But Carmelo Anthony, and only Carmelo Anthony, decided to stay and threaten everyone instead.

He decided that the rules should not apply to him. They apply to everybody. This is a pattern. The rules apply to everyone. Everyone's being expected to follow the rules, but not. not him. He shouldn't have to follow the rules. Why? Because he's special. Eleven students all testified that Anthony wasn't welcomed in the tent and that multiple students asked him to leave. Every single witness demonstrated that Anthony was trying to instigate a fight.

One witness even testified that he challenged Austin Metcalf to a fist fight, to which Metcalf replied, I'm not going to fight you at a track meet, bro. And this isn't a dispute anymore. I mean, something every witness agrees upon. Even the defense's own witnesses. Okay, the witnesses they called in an effort to build their case for self-defense ultimately benefited the prosecution. Okay, one of those witnesses was a 17-year-old student from Memorial High School who knew Carmelo well and who talked to him when he arrived at the tent. On direct examination by the defense, the 17-year-old was asked about his previous statements to detectives where he indicated that Metcalf had verbally threatened Anthony. And at first, this testimony looked like it would indeed benefit the defense. I'm going to read from this excerpt at some length because it's the one moment that the defense could use for its own benefit.

This is from the CBS reporting of what happened in the courtroom. It's not a transcript. And note that Carmelo Anthony is referred here to as mellow. So here's what it says. Quote, defense, do you remember telling the detective, you need to move before I beat your ass? Witness. I don't recall saying that. The defense approaches the witness with papers.

The witness agrees that Austin said something like that or something similar. Defense. Austin is standing up. Mello is still seated. Witness. Yes. Defense. That's when Mello reached into his bag after Austin mentioned something about wanting to beat his ass.

Witness, yes. Defense. Austin calls his bluff and says, I know you don't have anything in that bag. Witness, yes. Defense. For Austin to make his way to Mello, he has to move up five rows. Witness, yes, defense. Austin takes a step or two and then they talk and that continues.

Witness, yes, defense. All this time as Austin is moving closer to Mello, Mello is seated with his hand in the bag, like, don't come closer to me. Witness, yes, sir. Defense, Mello says, as long as you don't touch me, we're cool, or don't touch me. Witness, yes, defense. You told the detective, Austin reached up and tapped Carmelo on the shoulder.

Mello is seated. Witness, yes. Defense, there's a touch and then there's a grab. Witness, yes. Defense. He, Austin, grabbed with both hands. Witness, both of his hands were in motion. Defense.

also is reaching for Mello. At that point, Mello's hand comes out of the bag. Witness, yes. Okay, now assuming this testimony is accurate, Metcalf said something about beating up Anthony, although the witness couldn't recall precisely what he heard. And remember, we've already heard from a whole bunch of witnesses who said that this was totally Carmelo instigated the entire thing. But here's what this defense witness is saying. And Carmelo, meanwhile, supposedly said that everything would be cool if no one touched him. No other witness has reported hearing that statement, only this guy supposedly heard it. So this clearly seems like important testimony for the defense

because it's the only witness who suggested that Carmelo Anthony had some reason to be worried that something would happen to him when he was sitting in the tent and before he reached into his bag. And of course, there are reasons to doubt that Medcalf ever said that he was going to beat up Anthony. In particular, there's the previous testimony from, you know, other witnesses that Medkov repeatedly said that he didn't want to fight. And this particular witness admitted that he wasn't sure of what Metcalf said

And again, even if all that was true, even if Carmelo Anthony, you know, was being threatened, he could leave. He could get up and leave at any time. He's in a tent. He's not supposed to be. So if he really felt threatened, he could get up and leave. And he didn't. But if this testimony was a small victory for the defense, it didn't last very long. In fact, it turned into a major defeat for them. Because after the court returned from a 10-minute break, and the prosecution began their cross-examination, the testimony fell apart immediately in like spectacular fashion. Okay, the same witness, remember, this is a witness for the defense, testified on cross-examination, quote, I think, testified, quote, I think Carmelo was in the wrong. And when asked by prosecutors whether Carmello had provoked the confrontation, the witness said, yes. So this was a stunning moment. We'd already heard from many witnesses for the state testifying that Camelo Anthony was the aggressor. He provoked the confrontation, was in the wrong. And now here's a witness for the defense who at first seems like he's giving the first person to throw a lifeline to Carmelo Anthony. But by the end

of it, he says, yes, Camero Anthony provoked it and was in the wrong. Again, every single witness, everyone in the tent understood that Austin Metcalf was responding to a provocation from Camelow Anthony. they all recognized that Anthony was breaking the rules, talking about fighting people, and Metcalfe responded to that threat in a reasonable way. The defense's own witness admits this. He was in the tent at the moment of the stabbing, and even with everything he witnessed, his top line conclusion is, oh, this is Carmelo Anthony's fault. Meanwhile, the coach at Centennial High School, Carmelo Anthony's High School, also ultimately benefited the prosecution's case under cross-examination. This is from the trial testimony. Prosecutor Bill Werski,

when's the last time you talked to Carmelo, witness the day of the event? Prosecutor, you're aware there's no weapons allowed at trackmates, witness, yes. Prosecutor, I imagine you don't approve of athletes stabbing other athletes in the chest. Witness, no. Prosecutor, it shouldn't happen that one of your athletes

ends up in another team's 10. Witness, yes, sir. Prosecutor, is there any reason an athlete should have a knife that a trackmate? Witness, no. Prosecutor, you would expect someone asked to leave a tent to comply. Witness. Yes. So again, this is a defense witness. The witness is supposed to help the defense actually benefiting the prosecution in a major way.

This is a situation where Anthony has created the circumstances in which it's reasonable for Metcalf as the team leader who was put in charge of the tent by his coach to remove him from the tent. He's threatening a bunch of children with a hidden weapon and challenging them to a fight. for no reason. It's a textbook provocation. And therefore, under these circumstances, Metcalf was justified in putting his hands on Anthony and lightly shoving him away to get him out of the tent.

He would have been justified in harshly shoving him, violently shoving him, but he didn't. Visit BetMDMDM Casino and check out the newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick. BetMDMDM and Game Sense remind you to play responsibly, 19 plus to wager. Ontario only. Please play responsibly.

You simply cannot start a fight in a manner that everybody recognizes as totally. unreasonable and insane, and then claim self-defense when you kill an unarmed person. But here's the thing, even if Carmelo Anthony hadn't provoked anyone, even if he was a saintly

figure in that tent, minding his own business, being completely silent, never once reaching in his bag for a weapon or saying he wanted to fight someone, the claim of self-defense still falls apart. And that's because when you're engaging in self-defense, your physical response has to be proportional to the physical injury you suffer or that you reasonably believe you're going to suffer. If somebody shoots at you or is about to shoot you, then you could shoot back. If somebody pulls a knife on you and you have a gun, you could shoot them.

Because a knife can kill you. And just by producing the knife, they're showing their intent to kill you. But if someone lightly shoves you in circumstances that make it clear, he's simply trying to get you out of a tent, then at most you're allowed to shove or punch them back, although even that, probably not. you don't have a license to stab them to death. You know, if people could just murder anyone who shoves them,

public transit would become a battle royale every day, which it already kind of is. It makes no sense. You know, one thing I, you know, from his defenders on X, you see this phrase a lot where they say, they say, oh, we put his hands on it. Don't put your hands on someone. Don't put your hands on someone.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but in a civilized society, which you are blessed to live in, in a civilized society, someone putting their hands on you does not automatically give you license to just murder them. Okay, they treat it like it's some sort of technicality. Oh, you put your hands on me. Technically, now I get to kill you. Yeah, but you didn't fear for your life. Yeah, but technically, hey, he touched me. Like, it's like a children's games like tag or something. Oh, he tagged me. I'm it. I get to kill you. That's really what they think. That's like the legal defense being offered essentially here.

And everyone knows it's an absurd argument to make with a straight face and that they still try to. Every single piece of witness testimony demonstrated that Metcalf didn't use a significant amount of force against Carmelo Anthony. This is testimony from a Memorial High School track athlete named Eddie Para who knew both Metcalf and Anthony, as reported by CBS. quote, Bill, prosecutor, what did you notice in the tent? Witness, Carmelo was up there. I dabbed him up. Prosecutor, did you talk? Witness just said hi. Prosecutor, did you think it was weird? He was in the tent. Witness, yes, because teams are supposed to be at their own tent. Prosecutor, you call him mellow. Witness, yes. Prosecutor, are you, after you stopped talking to him, did you see any other teammates talk to him? Witness, yeah. Austin said, who are you? Prosecutor, what did you see? Witness, Carmelo gets mad. He's told to get out of the tent. Prosecutor, once he gets mad, what happens? Witness, he says, you're not going to move me. You're a prosecutor. Prosecutor was Austin starting to get mad. Witness, he was getting defensive.

Someone he didn't know was in the tent. He's always leading. He's always trying to protect us. Prosecutor after that, uh, prosecutor after that, witness, Carmelo said, you'll have to move me. You'll have to move me. Austin put his hand on his back. I saw Camelo's hand go in his backpack. It brought a track me. I wouldn't expect anything to be in there. Carmelo said, touch me. you'll have to move me and find out trying to provoke him. Prosecutor, then what happens? Witness, Austin puts his hand on him and falls back. Prosecutor, how was Austin trying to move him?

Witness, it was him trying to move him off his seat, a soft shove. Prosecutor, what did Austin do? Witness, I see the hole in his chest and bloody starts screaming for help. Prosecutor, when this is going on, who's standing? Witness, before the stab, Austin was the one standing. Prosecutor, did any kids from Memorial try to gang up on Carmelo? Witness, no. Prosecutor, you're expecting at most a fist fight. Witness, yes. Prosecutor, you didn't think anything was going to happen. Witness, no. Now, the key testimony there is that this was a soft shove and no one expected anything more than that. No one thought Medcalf was going to pummel Anthony.

And no one thought Anthony was going to stab Metcalf. Again, Metcalf was just trying to move the guy off the seat. Get him out of the tent where he didn't belong. Another witness described the shove as somewhere between soft and hard, so moderate, in other words. Additionally, as reported by Brianna Morella, one witness who's black testified that he was sitting right next to Anthony at the time of the shove. And according to the witness, the shove was so light that Carmelo wasn't even pushed into contact with him. So this was not a violent altercation at all. Anthony barely moved. So that's the extent of the damage that Metcalfe did. you know, apparently a light shove that, you know, made him like, do this.

There's a little light, slightly, slight movement. Now I get to murder you. Witnesses testified that in the same motion as the shove, while it was going on, Anthony responded by immediately stabbing Metcalfe in the chest. So Anthony didn't wait for a moment. Once he thought he had a pretext to kill, he jumped on the opportunity, eagerly. According from the Daily Mail's reporting, during cross-examination, defense attorney asks, did he, Austin, grab hold of him, Carmelo? Teen number four says he didn't get the chance to grab hold of him.

He was already stabbed. Teen number six described watching the verbal back and forth between Austin and Carmelo, while Carmelo had his hand in his backpack and claimed he had something in his bag. The vein in his arm was visible. It looked like he was grabbing something. When Austin moves into shove slash push or Camelo, Carmelo pulls the knife from his backpack. and plunges it into Dawson's chest. It was all part of the same motion.

Anthea was so forceful that the knife broke through Metcalf's sternum and punctured the right side of his heart. There was a two-inch stab wound that went directly through the wall of the heart. Oneger reportedly gasped and covered her mouth when she saw it, and Metcalf was dead within seconds. There is no universe in which this is a proportional response to a slight shove, even if you don't account for provocation, even if you pretend that Carmelo Anthony had every right to be in that tent, which he didn't.

As one 17-year-old witness told the court last week, quote, that's lethal force against non-lethal. Yeah, I'd say so. And Anthony knew he committed murder, which is why he threw the knife into the stands and began running from the scene before coaches tracked him down. All of Metcalf's teammates knew it too,

which is why they ran out of the tent in a panic as Metcalf died. One of those teammates, who's black, actually began pursuing Carmelo Anthony in effort to avenge Metcalf. Not a single person in that tent, not one, thought Austin Metcalf was a dangerous threat who needed to be taken down. No witness has ever said anything like that for the prosecution or the defense. So it's very clear that Anthony is a murderer. But the very large number of black activists in this country don't see it that way. What they care about is the racial tribal.

That's how Carmelo Anthony's family was able to raise more than $600,000 on give-send go. It's why every day the courthouse has black protesters outside demanding the acquittal of Carmelo Anthony. You know, we've shown several videos before, but they keep coming back every day. Watch. If evidence does come out that Carmelo was not in fact fighting for his life when he stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf, do you think that the black community will accept that? If evidence shows that he did not, no, we're going to stand. by ours regardless. They stand by theirs. We're going to stand by ours regardless.

I'm a mother first. I'm a black mother. Let me put that on there. I'm an African-American mother. So I have to put away my color first and step into the motherhood. Nobody wants to see their child slain. So I do want to send prayers to Austin Medcaf, their family. But at the end of the day, I got to think like, okay, what did you do to them or whatever to cause this to happen to reaction? We got to start taking accountability for our kids. Because then again, if my kid, that's why I said, catch-22, if my kid was Carmelo and I feel like he's backwards up against the while, I'm going to say straight up, better mine than yours.

Better mind than yours. So either way it go, everybody loses. A black boy allegedly erred, and I say allegedly, heavy on the allegedly, allegedly erred somebody. You see what I'm saying? So, yeah, this is about race. Do you think Carmelo is innocent? Do you feel like it's been an unfair response to what happened to Carmelo Anthony?

I feel that the justice system always overrespond when it comes to us. So definitely. I mean, you look at the charge. It was self-defense. He was wrestling with two guys. I don't know what the parameters of it, but it was two people. So, you know, two against one. That's self-defense.

So he's completely wrong on the parameters of the case, otherwise known as the facts. It's just making up a story that, like, no one has told that story. He just made that up. There's no witness who said anything about wrestling. There's no wrestling. There's no wrestling. No witness for either side has claimed anything like that. And yet you have a guy who showed up to the courthouse.

That's how much he cares about it. And that's the story he has in his head. Now, if he had any integrity, he'd say exactly what the first woman said, which is that these people support Carmelo Anthony solely because he's black. And rather than face the fact that many young black males are willing to gut white children because of the smallest, most insignificant provocation, also willing to gut other black children for the same reason, these adults are encouraging young black males to continue executing people in the streets. for no reason. I mean, it's hard to imagine a more shameful display than that. She says,

take responsibility for your kids. Yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe take responsibility for your kids by telling them, hey, you're not allowed to just go out and stab people to death. You can't go out and just kill someone because you don't, because it makes you, you don't like how they looked at you. But at the same time, this is not a new phenomenon at all. I mean, Rodney King, O.J., Michael Brown, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Jacob Blake, Carmelo Anthony, my entire life. If you're around my age, your entire life. We have watched black activists rally around the most dysfunctional, degenerate, morally repugnant parasites on the planet. Celebrating and defending the worst of the worst.

People who contribute nothing to society who take but don't give. take everything, take resources, take from their communities, and then take lives, give nothing back, a net drain on society. And these are the ones that they're rallying around. When's the last time an actual virtuous, heroic black man won popular support in his own community? When's the last time they painted a mural of like a black man who was, good and just and heroic and had virtue and integrity and was a contributing member of society. Well, the sad reality is that that kind of black man is much more likely to be shunned than celebrated.

I mean, look how Thomas Sol and Clarence Thomas are treated. In fact, in some cases, they're not just shunned, they're killed. This report is from just a couple of weeks ago in New Orleans. Watch. And so, it tonight many of Ferdinand Wollins family members were too emotional to speak on camera. This was supposed to be a time of celebration as he just graduated one week ago right here at Sophie B. Wright High School and said his family is now planning his funeral. That was an innocent soul, a great soul, a soul that was not meant to leave her this early. Just hours after walking across the stage and taking these pictures holding his high school diploma. Left an impact that can never be erased.

This Sophie B. Wright Honors graduate was hurt in a Tremay shooting, according to police. When officers responded to the scene early Tuesday morning, they found Willans inside an SUV shot multiple times. Police say he was transported to a hospital where he died days later. We was just celebrating their graduation at that day. They had a party at a hall. We would have never known that we would have left that hall party, and we would have never seen that boy ever again. An 18-year-old with a promising future ahead.

His family says he had a full-ride scholarship to college set to study engineering this fall. He was on his way to LSU, full scholarship. He had scored a 30-year-only ACT recently, and this guy was the limit for him. Exactly one week after his graduation, his family, friends, and classmates held onto photos of Woolens during a prayer survey,

honoring his life. Sounds from a sentimental send-off filled the lakefront as loved ones dance through the pain, remembering the light he brought to their lives while pushing for gun violence to stop. I've lost three friends to gun violence, and I just honestly feel like it has to be a change in Louisiana,

and it's just so sad that it takes a debt to bring all us together so that we have to start making changes. Now, blaming gun violence, as you just heard from the, news anchor there misses the point completely. Guns are not the issue here or anywhere. Switzerland, which has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world, has an extremely low rate of gun violence. The problem is not gun violence. The problem is that some demographics are dramatically, almost unbelievably, more likely to commit violence than others.

And instead of addressing the violence committed to this astronomically disproportionate degree by young black men. What you have instead are black activists that are donating to fundraisers for the benefit of the black murderers. A 30 on the ACT, which is what this murdered student received, is a grade score. It's the equivalent of around 1370 on the SAT. And by any standard, trickle of standards of the school system that he was in, the student was extremely bright and successful.

And in black urban areas, you know, that often doesn't go over well. On the other hand, if this student had stabbed a random white kid at a track meet, well, you know, then he'd get national support, get $500,000. They'd spend years harassing the family of the victim. Anyone who spent a good amount of time around kids as most likely watch them refuse perfectly good food and demand chicken nuggets instead. And if you're a parent, chances are you started eating whatever is convenient also. You finish the crust off someone else's sandwich. You grab a handful of snacks while you're loading the car.

Eat lunch standing over the kitchen counter because you don't have time to sit down. This is what a busy life can often look like. It doesn't mean you have to, you've stopped caring about your health, though. It just means reality has a way of interfering with your best intent.

If you're exploring your next step, Grand Canyon University offers hundreds of degree programs designed to help you move forward with purpose, whether learning, on campus and Phoenix or online from anywhere, students join a community committed to leadership, service, and purpose. People who change communities rarely started by trying to change the world. They started by helping one person, solving one problem and building one idea. Small actions become meaningful work, and meaningful work turns into impact. At Grand Canyon University, students are

prepared for that journey through academically rigorous programs designed to help them grow professionally, personally, and spiritually. While many universities are raising costs, GCU has kept tuition rates steady on a traditional campus for 17 years, which is consistent with their commitment to make higher education more affordable and accessible. Plus, 75% of GCU's programs and facilities have been built in just the last decade, reflecting their desire to stay up to date with the fast-paced nature of our modern world. More than 132,000 students have chosen GCU for one reason, they want an education connected to real opportunities, real careers, and real purpose. Purpose isn't something you stumble into. It's something you pursue. Grand Canyon University

help students do exactly that. Grand Canyon University, private Christian, affordable, non-profit, learn more at gCU.edu. So how do we solve this problem? I mean, beyond telling black fathers to get more involved in their children's lives, which we've been saying for decades, and is certainly a major source of the problem here. 80% fatherlessness rate in the urban black community is apocalyptic. There's just no way to have a functioning community at all with that kind of number. It's not possible. So that's problem number one. There actually is no solution that doesn't include that. So if we're not going to do that, then it's just chaos all the way down. It's all it's ever going to be. But aside from that, what's a workable solution? As I mentioned earlier, one of the most catastrophic

legacies of the civil rights era was that it became illegal in this country for any policy to have a disproportionate impact on black people, even if the policy is completely reasonable, even if the policy is not targeted at black people or any race. So it's a equal policy that everyone is subject to. But still, the idea is that if you disproportionately impact black people, then we can infer that you're racist, and then you'll get sued into oblivion. So if you have a policy or a law that black people disproportionately run afoul of and then are punished, you know, in accordance with that, well, then it's automatically racist. That's the idea. It's one of the dumbest legal doctrines of all time, but it persists to this day. And it's one of the reasons why schools like Centennial High, which gave Carmelo Anthony a degree after he murdered someone, these schools are essentially banned, I mean, in effect, based.

by law from disciplining black students, at least to the extent that they need to be disciplined. That's because in virtually every case, black students are punished more than white students whenever any objective student conduct policy is enforced. So to give just a few examples, in Virginia, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against Richmond public schools saying that they were breaking the law by suspending too many black students for so-called subjective offenses. And those offenses included walking away from teachers while they were being spoken to.

In other words, teachers trying to give you instructions and you just flat out ignore it. Deserved to be suspended for that. I mean, if that goes on too long, you should be expelled for that. Because the school can't function with that sort of thing. You're not going to listen or go along with the program at all, then we can't have you here.

You're destroying education for everybody else. But because black students were suspended too much, under this policy, more than 90% of suspended students were black, the ACLU went to court. The federal government hounded the Richmond school system for years afterwards, and meanwhile, in Louisiana, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which spends most of its time funding the KKK, as we've recently discovered, filed a civil rights complaint alleging that it was a violation of disparate impact theory for the school district to refer too many black students to alternative of schools for behavioral issues. The school board had to settle. And in New Jersey, the ACLU filed a

complaint alleging that black students were five times more likely to face out-of-school suspensions than white students. Black parents continued to sue for many years, even after a settlement, over this suspension policy. Now, even though, again, none of these policies said, oh, we're going to suspend black students. It was just, here's the rule. And if you break the rule, we're going to, here's the punishment. And it just so happens that an overwhelming majority of the students who broke that policy that everybody's subjected to were black. And so that means you can't have it. Now, to be clear, I have no specific information as to what offenses, if any, Carmelo Anthony may have committed at his public high school. There's certainly a few puzzle pieces we can put together,

though. There's one news report which we played earlier in the week where a girl says Anthony was known for fighting. There's also the fact that Carmelo Anthony He stabbed a kid to death for no reason, which would, you know, generally if you're doing that, you know, that means it probably was not your first time getting into a physical altercation with someone, we could probably assume, reasonably. And then there's this report from a CBS reporter from last year. Town Hall first noticed this. We'll put it up on the screen. It says, quote, CBS News, Texas has learned from law enforcement sources. involved in the investigation. The Carmelo Anthony had previously been suspended for bringing a knife to school.

Law enforcement sources tell us Anthony should have been in class at Centennial High School and was skipping school when he allegedly stabbed Austin Metcalf. CBS later wrote on their Facebook quote, We also have redacted some previously reported information on a possible suspension

in order to get further clarification from the school district. The school district has chosen not to reply to our questions regarding this information. Therefore, we have pulled the information temporarily. but temporarily became permanently with no clear update. In other words, the school district, the same school district that let Carmelo Anthony graduate after killing a white student, managed to kill the story.

And we don't know the truth about Anthony's record if he had one, and it wouldn't necessarily be introduced as evidence during the trial either because judges generally don't want jurors to make their decision based on a defendant's prior conduct. So it maybe was kept out of the prosecution's case for that reason. We don't know. the point is if Anthony had indeed done something worthy of suspension at his school, as CBS originally reported, then the school district would have every reason under our civil rights law to ignore the issue entirely. If the school district tried to punish a student like Carmelo Anthony,

which is to say a violent black student, then they run the risk of years of expensive litigation. So the easy way out is simply to allow these students to graduate, even when they slaughter a white teenager at a trackmate, without any justification whatsoever. And by the same token, the easy approach for white parents is to tell their children that all of the violence and dysfunction in black areas is due to systemic racism or, you know, whatever. The easy approach is to tell your children to treat aggressive black thugs in the exact same manner as you would treat anyone else. But the truth is, there's a big difference between Carmelo Anthony and say, you know, an Asian chess grandmaster. There's also a big reason between a black teen in South Philly who takes your cell phone and a white first-year university student like Henry Novak. And if you deny that this difference exists, then you're placing yourself and your children in a position where they might die a horrible and preventable death at the altar of civil rights mythology and BLM propaganda.

So this is not a case about one stabbing at a track meeting as horrific and tragic. as that stabbing was. This is also the legacy of the civil rights movement. It's about the urgency of undoing the genocidal and deranged laws and legal doctrines that are now getting far too many white people killed and black people. It's about ending all of the handouts and special treatment that black Americans receive all in the name of racial equity, which everyone now understands is code for killing white people with impunity and taking their stuff. This is always the goal of the civil rights movement from its earlier days. In part two of our real history documentary on the civil rights era called The Looting of America, we talk about the

savagery and the brutality that white people endured if they didn't have the resources to flee to the suburbs in the 60s and 70s, the people who were left behind, the ones who couldn't engage in so-called white flight, which is the preferred term of leftist historian, and and school textbooks were sexually assaulted and executed for sport. They watched as their communities became living nightmares. And when they complained, they were met with total indifference from everyone, from black activists, from liberal academics, white liberal activists, and the United States federal government.

They were left behind to suffer and die as their communities, which had survived for generations, became violent cesspools virtually overnight. So when you watch these activists rally outside that courthouse for Camelo Anthony and when you see them donating $600,000 so that Anthony's family can buy a new house, the only conclusion you can draw is that not much has changed. Decades of affirmative action and welfare payments at DEI, even the election of a black president or half black at least two times have not merely failed to produce racial harmony in this country quite the contrary, by design, they've led us directly to this period of open anti-white racial warfare, which has erupted all over the West from Texas to the UK. What you need to understand is that the government at every level is creating the conditions where this kind of violence can occur. They're preventing civilized people from enforcing the law. And as a result, every day,

children are getting executed. Now, will Carmelo-Anthe-Manthansans, be found guilty? Most likely, yes, he will. Assuming the jury wasn't compromised, which, I mean, admittedly is a big assumption. He certainly should be found guilty. I put my money on that it will happen, but we don't know. But the most important takeaway from this trial and the issue that we address in our documentary

is that white men are not dying in random one-off incidents like this anymore than white people just happen to lose out on job opportunities or government contracts or university admissions. White children are dying in the streets of Philadelphia and at track meets in Texas for the same reason that defenseless elderly white women were massacred in their own homes when diversity came to town in the 1960s. These people are dying because of a fiction that has persisted for far too long in this country, which is that racial disparities always and everywhere are the result of discrimination. This belief is a question. religious significance in most of the country. It's both dangerous and completely false.

The truth is that if we had more racial disparities and a little more self-awareness, a lot of innocent people, both white and black, would still be alive today. As it stands, if we continue on the trajectory that was set in place decades ago, we'll continue to see many more, Carmelo Anthony's. That's what the corporate press wants, which is why they're presenting the murder as a truly unforeseeable shocking homicide. But it actually wasn't unforeseeable at all. We created the circumstances that allowed the murder to happen. We effectively created, although most people don't realize it, a new constitution 60 years ago,

that rewards grievance and violence. And just as quickly, before the next Austin Metcalf is slaughtered, we must tear up this new constitution and replace it with the one we started with. That will do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day.

Godspeed. Last month, we judged Martin Luther King, Jr., not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. American school kids spend a lot of time hearing about MLK and Rosa Parks. Have you noticed no one ever asks what Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery are like today? The legacy of the civil rights movement wasn't a racially harmonious utopia. It's hollowed out urban cores, hundreds of thousands of dead Americans, raped grandmothers, ethnic cleansing, entire neighborhoods. This month we survey first-hand accounts of the historic wave of nonviolent crime, riots unleashed

on this country by the civil rights movement, which caused more enduring damage on America's greatest cities than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Who were the winners and who are the losers? What's the truth about redline, white flight, affirmative action? Don't want to miss the second part of our special on the civil rights movement, the looting of America. In DailyWire Plus.
