Ep. 1579 - Family Of Karmelo Anthony Hosted The Most Disgusting Press Conference I’ve Ever Seen
Fri, 18 Apr 2025
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the family of Karmelo Anthony held a press conference yesterday. They did not apologize for the fact that their son killed Austin Metcalf. They did not show any remorse at all. Instead, they attacked Austin’s father. It was one of the most grotesque displays you’ll ever see. We’ll discuss. And speaking of grotesque displays, Democrats have been rallying around the deported illegal immigrant from El Salvador who they say was wrongly accused of gang affiliations.

Chapter 2: How is Carmelo Anthony's legal defense strategy described?
Less than a week after the funeral of 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf, which was held in Frisco, Texas, it's now clear how his killer, Carmelo Anthony, is going to defend himself in court. This will not be a trial where the outcome hinges on some disputed fact or evidence. on a damning piece of forensic evidence or the use of some clever legal theory.
Instead, in the eyes of Carmelo Anthony's legal team, the result of this trial will depend on whether they can seat at least one juror who harbors a deep and abiding resentment towards white people.
If they can accomplish that during jury selection, then they're guaranteed a mistrial and Carmelo Anthony can continue driving around in expensive SUVs and living in rented mansions until prosecutors give up. That's their plan as of right now. There's just no longer any way to deny it.
We're about to witness another trial in this country where, like the Chauvin trial or the OJ trial, no one is even pretending that the facts actually matter. All that matters is race. In fact, this isn't even really comparable to an OJ Simpson situation. It's worse than that. You know, in that case, his supporters...
could hide behind the fact that he was famous or that the police were supposedly corrupt because of what they did to Rodney King or that sort of thing. The prosecution of Carmelo Anthony in a very straightforward and undiluted way will determine whether race trumps the rule of law in this country. It will test whether anti-white race hatred is so profound and so pervasive
that a black student can stab an unarmed white teenager in the heart during a track meet, run away, ditch the murder weapon, wonder aloud whether his actions could possibly be considered self-defense, and then get away with it. In other words, generations after the civil rights movement, We're about to see whether white teenagers in places like Frisco, Texas actually have basic civil rights.
And if any of that sounds inaccurate or overstated to you, then you didn't watch the press conference that was held yesterday by the family of Carmelo Anthony. Now for background, In case you're not familiar with the details of the case, which we've discussed many times, Anthony was arrested on April 2nd after stabbing and killing another student, Austin Metcalf, at a high school track meet.
According to the arrest affidavit, witnesses said that Carmelo Anthony, who is black, was inside a tent that was reserved for a different school. Metcalf, who is white, told Carmelo Anthony to leave. Carmelo Anthony dared Metcalf to touch him and, quote, see what happens. Metcalf touched Carmelo Anthony or his backpack, and then Anthony stabbed Metcalf to death.
And when the cops showed up, Anthony asked them, asked the cops, whether he might have a plausible self-defense claim, which is a very good indication that he doesn't. After Anthony was arrested and charged with murder, Metcalf's father, Jeff Metcalf, went on television and announced that he had forgiven Anthony.

Chapter 3: What accusations did Dominique Alexander make at the press conference?
Instead, in addition to lashing out at the victim's father, he suggested that the Frisco School District was actually responsible for Austin Metcalf's death because they didn't cancel the track meet during inclement weather. Yes, that's actually what he said. Anthony stabbed and killed somebody. Because it was raining. And it's the school's fault for not canceling the event because of the rain.
They should have known that when it was raining, they got to cancel it. Because if they don't, somebody might get stabbed. This is what the school should have known ahead of time. So he demanded to know why the media wasn't holding the school district responsible for holding the track meet during the rain. As if that explains in any way whatsoever why Carmelo Anthony killed Austin Metcalf. Watch.
I'm trying to find how many of y'all have asked the superintendent or one single board of trustee, why didn't you cancel or postpone with weather in that magnitude? You couldn't have a track meet in rain or thunderstorm or clouds. Y'all are the media. Ask your journalists, your weather journalists, how the weather was that day and that time. Y'all do that research.
Because as a person who is the administrator of your children, you are responsible for the safety of the children. And so it seems as if Frisco ISD is trying to push this off.
Yeah, how many of y'all have asked why the school district didn't cancel the track meet? And for that matter, how many of y'all have asked why Austin Metcalf decided to attend the track meet in the first place? If he had never gone, then he wouldn't have gotten killed. And how many of y'all have asked why track meets even exist as a concept? Is it really even a legitimate sport in the first place?
After all, if track meets didn't exist, then Austin Metcalf would still be alive today. So why aren't y'all asking about that? Now, to call this line of reasoning low IQ is an insult to every bottom-feeding microbe that exists in the deepest depths of the ocean.
This is probably the most flagrant and ineffective attempt to deflect responsibility from Carmelo Anthony that's possible to articulate while keeping a straight face. And it gets worse when you consider the context of what this guy is saying. The reason he's going after the school district is that they've announced that they plan to expel Anthony.
And under the circumstances, that's a very reasonable decision. After all, we don't want any more teenagers to be stabbed to death if we can help it. Every school district in the country has very strict rules against bringing deadly weapons to school events. And they also have rules against using the weapon to kill another student.
But the Next Generation Action Network is not happy with the school district's plans. And so now they are threatening the school district. Watch.

Chapter 4: Why is the Frisco School District being criticized by Carmelo Anthony's supporters?
And that's also to say nothing of the fact that all of these race hustlers who are comparing this to Rittenhouse and Penny, all of them said that Rittenhouse and Penny were guilty. So by their own testimony, they are admitting that Carmelo Anthony is guilty. You can page through the comments on the Give, Send, Go account for Carmelo Anthony.
And it becomes very clear what all this is really about. Here's just a handful of representative comments that were posted on the GiveSendGo. All of these comments have several likes, indicating that they're popular in the community. And also importantly, all of these comments are from people who actually donated money. So these are not just random Twitter trolls or random Internet trolls.
These are people who gave money. In some cases, you know, a good little chunk of money and then left a comment explaining why they gave money. So I'm going to read a couple of these comments. Quote, quote, these white people can die mad like they ancestors did. Quote, these crackers need to understand that we are not our ancestors and they will reap what they sow.
I hope the knife made a full recovery. Quote, keep doing what you do, young man. You are an anti-bullying hero, a scholar, and a gentleman. Quote, we are the defenders of our lineage. And then here's a few more just for good measure. Quote, my white people have put so much evil in the earth, you have the right to protect yourself, Carmelo. Quote, I love when we stand up for each other.
And then quote, keep your head up, young king. Now, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of comments like this. One of them reads, make YT, as in white people, make white people mad. Another reads, protect our own, and so on and so on. Now, during this press conference, neither Carmelo Anthony's family nor their representative condemned any of this.
They didn't discourage their supporters from posting explicitly anti-white race hatred on their Give, Send, Go. Instead, the mother of Carmela Anthony claimed that she has not withdrawn any money from the Give, Send, Go as a way of contesting reports from various outlets that they're renting a mansion and driving expensive new cars with the money that they got from the fundraiser.
She says that's not true. Watch.
And let me be clear. The claims that were used about the public donation to buy a home or anything else are completely false. We have not received a single dime from the GiveSendGo fundraiser. And the co-founder has stated that clearly. In the reality, we were just notified yesterday that we could begin to withdraw funds.
And it still takes several days to receive those funds once a request is made. Our son deserves the same rights under the law that everyone is afforded to. He's been raised in a two-parent home with structure, stability, love, and we put God first in everything that we do. We believe in the Constitution. We believe in the laws of this state.

Chapter 5: What threats are being made against the Frisco School District?
Watch as Dominique Alexander attacks Donald Trump and then explains that he's not pulling the race card, even as he pulls the race card and rubs it in everybody's face. Watch.
I'm going to say this again, and this is for everybody. Black people in America, while the current occupant sits at 1600 Pennsylvania. Black people in America don't have to pull the race card. It's what we live as a reality every day. It's what we have to teach our children. We don't want to, but we have to.
Maybe now's the time to mention that Dominique Alexander was convicted in 2009 for shaking his girlfriend's two-year-old child until the child's brain started bleeding. Only spent eight days in jail for that crime somehow. Maybe now's the time to mention that Dominique Alexander was also indicted in 2019 for assaulting a woman.
We can also talk about his legal troubles for allegedly stealing a car, evading arrest, forging a check. Yes, the representative for the Carmelo Anthony family is himself a thug and a career criminal who should have been thrown in prison a long time ago. This is a situation that's so absurd, so on the nose, that it seems like it has to be parody. But it's real.
I mean, this is the playbook that the BLM types are running in order to secure an acquittal for a student who just killed a white student for no reason whatsoever. These are the representatives that they're choosing. Thugs are defending thugs. And the more white people suffer and die, the more they'll gloat in public. That's where we are.
All these years after the civil rights era and affirmative action and Barack Obama would supposedly usher in a new generation of equality and racial harmony, we're approaching Rwanda circa 1994 at high speed. And whatever happens to Carmelo Anthony, everyone in this country needs to be aware of that. Open racial resentment is how they plan to get Carmelo Anthony off the hook.
That's their legal strategy. And the really unsettling thing, which is even more unsettling than this horror show of a press conference, is that it just might work. As Doge continues to surgically cut the fat from decades of bloated government spending and corruption, Pure Talk, the cell phone company I use for business, is cutting the fat from the wireless company, the wireless industry rather.
That's right, Pure Talk says, I don't think so, to $100 a month cell phone plans, which is just wasteful. It's irresponsible. Instead, they're offering America's most dependable 5G network at America's most sensible prices. Listen to this unlimited talk, text, and 15 gigs of data plus mobile hotspot for just $35 a month.
And the best part, right now you'll get a free one-year membership to Daily Wire Plus. And with Pure Talk's U.S. customer service team, you can switch hassle-free in as little as 10 minutes. You don't need Doge to cut the fat from wireless. You can do that with Pure Talk. Go to puretalk.com slash Walsh.

Chapter 6: How does Matt Walsh respond to the misinformation about Kyle Rittenhouse?
You might not be able to castrate yourself in prison at taxpayer expense in order to affirm your subjective sense of gender identity. All of these arguments, however persuasive you might find them, were intended to make you say, well, I don't want that horrible thing to happen to me, therefore I'm voting for this particular politician. But as common as this tactic may be, it does have its limits.
And if you want an illustration of those limits, look no further than the current line of argument from leading Democrats, including Tim Walz and Elizabeth Warren. At the moment, they're all trying to convince you to empathize with an illegal alien named Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported by the Trump administration last month to El Salvador. You've certainly heard about this case.
And to that end, Tim Walz and Elizabeth Warren want you to imagine a world in which you're walking in Abrego Garcia's shoes. In order to convince you to care about this man's plight, they're inviting you to pretend that somehow you share his problems and that someday soon, you know, you might share in his fate as well. Watch.
And this whole thing with Mr. Abreu Garcia, it's that old wisdom and terrifying is if you're not speaking up for this man, there will be no one left to speak up for you.
We do not disappear people in the United States because here's the thing. If they can disappear, Mr. Abreu Garcia, then they can disappear you. It's about disappearing people, but it's also about obeying court orders.
If they can disappear Mr. Abrego Garcia, then they can disappear you. That's the message. We can assume it was carefully tested by the same focus group that thought Michelle Obama's podcast was a good idea. They truly believed that everyone hearing this line would drop whatever they were doing and demand justice for poor Abrego Garcia.
After all, who among us wants to be deported to El Salvador for literally no reason whatsoever? It's something that can happen to any of us right now. Any single one of us could just be thrown into a van and next thing you know, we're in an El Salvadoran prison.
The problem is that, as you might have guessed, there are more than a couple of differences between the typical American citizen and a man like Mr. Abrego Garcia. And once you take a look at those differences, you'll very quickly realize that actually there is no chance that the Trump administration will be able to disappear you in a similar fashion.
And there's no chance that the Trump administration would try to do that. So let's start with a police report that documents Mr. Abrego Garcia's activities in 2019. when he was loitering in a Home Depot parking lot in Hyattsville, Maryland. And we'll put the first page of the report up on the screen there, you can see it.

Chapter 7: What are the sentiments expressed by donors supporting Carmelo Anthony?
In fact, you may have heard the version I've seen people say that, well, they thought he was a member of MS-13 just because he was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat. Now, it's got Chicago Bulls hat with the money, with the eyes crossed out, along with hanging out with other MS-13 members, along with an informant saying, yes, he's a member of MS-13.
All of those things together is what led officers to the conclusion that it's extremely likely that this guy is affiliated with gangs. But still, you know, it's just one police officer writing a report. Maybe for reasons that are completely unclear and inexplicable, this officer decided to frame some random people in a Home Depot parking lot one day.
Could happen to anyone, just like Tim Walz and Elizabeth Warren said. Then they have to explain away this piece of evidence, which was just reported by Fox. This is a written domestic violence allegation that was drafted by Abrego Garcia's wife in 2021. In this document, she says that, quote, I'm reading, at this point, I'm afraid to be close to him.
I have multiple photos and videos of how violent he can be and all the bruises he has left me. She also says that he punched her repeatedly and grabbed her arm. And then in 2023, he hit me with his work boot. She adds that in August of 2020, quote, he hit me in the eye, leaving a purple eye. Okay, so this is starting to get pretty heavy, admittedly. Still not a smoking gun.
After all, how reliable is firsthand testimony from women anyway? I mean, it's not like Democrats ever told us to believe all women or anything like that. If that's your mindset, then you're probably wondering what other evidence might implicate Mr. Abrego Garcia. You're probably still in search of something, anything that might distinguish him from a normal, law-abiding American citizen.
And then you might come across this report from Just the News. Quote, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia was stopped in Tennessee for driving erratically and speeding by a state trooper in late November 2022 and was found to be driving an SUV full of people coming from Texas with an expired Maryland license.
The circumstances of the stop led the trooper to believe that human trafficking was involved, according to a summary of the incident recorded in Homeland's Immigration Alert System on December 6, 2022. Close quote. So we have a suspected human trafficker in addition to suspected domestic violence and suspected MS-13 gang ties. What's the big deal?
None of this was ever proven beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Therefore, you might conclude Mr. Obrega-Garcia is the victim of a truly horrifying violation of his civil liberties. If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us. Truly, he should be returned to the United States right away. Except that there's another major problem.
Even if you believe all that, which would require a suspension of disbelief that rivals what most schizophrenics would be capable of, you still have to contend with one very important immovable fact, which is that Mr. Abrego Garcia had no right to be in this country in the first place. He was an illegal alien, period. And therefore the Trump administration had every right to deport him.
