It raised many hundreds of thousands of dollars. And I think what really caught people's attention was the lines that were being used on that GoFundMe and on Twitter, where it's like variations of that Carmelo was engaged in self-defense, basically because he was grabbed. But also these takes where... It's almost like Austin was disrespecting him.

He was standing his ground because it wasn't right that anyone should tell him to go somewhere else or that if he shoved him, that was somehow justifying a lethal response. This has continued to gain steam because in the past week, a judge drastically lowered the bail requirement for Carmelo to get out of jail.

It was a million dollars and it was lowered to, I believe, $250,000, making it a lot easier to meet. And then they made a big spectacle that he came home and they were tweeting and stuff, you know, Carmelo is home now. And then that leads up to today where this is why we have a good reason to continue talking about it. Press conference. Now, two things happened at that first.

Austin Metcalf's father was at this press conference. We don't really know why yet. We're seeing B-roll on screen right now. He showed up and the family was not the family of Carmelo Anthony was not happy about this. And it seems that police or security spoke to him and basically said, please leave. And he so he did leave. There was not a fight or anything.

Nobody got stabbed. He did not pull out a knife and use it on any of the officers. I think that would have been frowned upon.

No, nobody tried to stab him. And then – this is really wild. The family and their supporters, their attorney – or not their attorney. There was like an activist leader who was with them. They Dominique Alexander, Dominique Alexander. They gave this address where they basically said it was highly disrespectful of Jeff Metcalf to be present at this press conference.

I mean, it was probably maybe inflammatory. I don't know. Disrespectful is the term I would use. But this is where you wanted a defense of the best steel man defense of the family. The mother of Carmelo Anthony gave a statement and I think maybe we have, do we have selections from that video? What would the number of it be?

Not that one. Do we have of the mother kind of relaying her experience because what she said was she did say regardless of what you feel about yeah let's so let's play this uh let's play clip 326 this is from the mother the lies and false accusations that have been said about us especially over the past week has been overwhelming

And another thing that wasn't in that clip, but she says she said, you know, regardless of how you feel about what about what happened with our son, she says, you know, his parents and his siblings are not responsible for that. She said that they have a daughter who's a teenager who has been afraid to sleep. I believe it was afraid to sleep in their own home because of that.

And that's why it came. It's been discussed that they were finding new housing arrangements and And that's where she says she complained in there about the lies. There have been these claims on X and elsewhere that the family immediately used the GoFundMe to buy a mansion or to, I think, buy a Cadillac Escalade and various things like that. And they said, those are lies.
