The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1579 - Family Of Karmelo Anthony Hosted The Most Disgusting Press Conference I’ve Ever Seen

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the family of Carmelo Anthony held a press conference yesterday.

00:00:03.820 They did not apologize for the fact that their son killed Austin Metcalf. They did not show any

00:00:07.840 remorse at all. Instead, they attacked Austin's father. It was one of the most grotesque displays

00:00:11.880 you'll ever see, we'll discuss. And speaking of grotesque displays, Democrats have been rallying

00:00:16.120 around the deported illegal immigrant from El Salvador, who they say was wrongly accused of

00:00:20.980 gang affiliation. But the actual facts of the case tell a different story. We'll talk about all that

00:00:24.880 and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:47.840 Less than a week after the funeral of 17-year-old high school student Austin Metcalf, which was held in

00:02:54.440 Frisco, Texas, it's now clear how his killer, Carmelo Anthony, is going to defend himself in court.

00:02:59.980 This will not be a trial where the outcome hinges on some disputed fact or on a damning piece of

00:03:06.800 forensic evidence or the use of some clever legal theory. Instead, in the eyes of Carmelo Anthony's

00:03:12.560 legal team, the result of this trial will depend on whether they can seat at least one juror who 0.67

00:03:18.200 harbors a deep and abiding resentment towards white people. If they can accomplish that during jury 0.81

00:03:23.360 selection, then they're guaranteed a mistrial, and Carmelo Anthony can continue driving around in

00:03:28.200 expensive SUVs and living in rented mansions until prosecutors give up. That's their plan as of

00:03:34.480 right now. There's just no longer any way to deny it. We're about to witness another trial in this

00:03:38.780 country where, like the Chauvin trial or the OJ trial, no one is even pretending that the facts

00:03:43.700 actually matter. All that matters is race. In fact, this isn't even really comparable to an OJ Simpson

00:03:49.400 situation. It's worse than that. In that case, his supporters could hide behind the fact that he was

00:03:54.960 famous or that the police were supposedly corrupt because of what they did to Rodney King or that

00:04:00.300 sort of thing. The prosecution of Carmelo Anthony, in a very straightforward and undiluted way,

00:04:05.720 will determine whether race trumps the rule of law in this country. It will test whether anti-white

00:04:10.520 race hatred is so profound and so pervasive that a black student can stab an unarmed white teenager 0.99

00:04:16.560 in the heart during a track meet, run away, ditch the murder weapon, wonder aloud whether his actions 0.99

00:04:22.300 could possibly be considered self-defense and then get away with it. In other words,

00:04:26.680 generations after the civil rights movement, we're about to see whether white teenagers in

00:04:31.080 places like Frisco, Texas actually have basic civil rights. And if any of that sounds inaccurate or

00:04:36.860 overstated to you, then you didn't watch the press conference that was held yesterday by the family

00:04:41.360 of Carmelo Anthony. Now, for background, in case you're not familiar with the details of the case,

00:04:46.560 which we've discussed many times, Anthony was arrested on April 2nd after stabbing and killing

00:04:51.000 another student, Austin Metcalfe, at a high school track meet. According to the arrest affidavit,

00:04:55.080 witnesses said that Carmelo Anthony, who is black, was inside a tent that was reserved for a different

00:04:59.920 school. Metcalfe, who is white, told Carmelo Anthony to leave. Carmelo Anthony dared Metcalfe to touch him

00:05:08.140 and, quote, see what happens. Metcalfe touched Carmelo Anthony or his backpack, and then Anthony stabbed

00:05:13.640 Metcalfe to death. And when the cops showed up, Anthony asked them, asked the cops, whether he might have a

00:05:20.380 plausible self-defense claim, which is a very good indication that he doesn't. After Anthony was

00:05:25.180 arrested and charged with murder, Metcalfe's father, Jeff Metcalfe, went on television and announced

00:05:30.040 that he had forgiven Anthony. He pleaded for the public to see Anthony as a child who had made a

00:05:35.280 mistake and to avoid making the killing into a political issue. So with that in mind, here's how a

00:05:41.080 barely literate race hustler named Dominique Alexander, who serves as the president of an activist BLM-type

00:05:46.900 nonprofit called the Next Generation Action Network. Here's how he began the press conference

00:05:52.200 yesterday for Carmelo Anthony's family. Next Generation Action Network from the beginning

00:05:59.740 has respected the loss of life.

00:06:04.600 No matter our opinion of it, we have kept our opinion

00:06:12.420 closed. We have not attacked. We have not shared the information that was shared with us about

00:06:23.360 Austin Metcalfe because we respect the dignity of life and loss. And all I'm going to say,

00:06:33.780 so it don't be asked later, is that was disrespectful and just shows you all the character

00:06:45.080 who was not invited. He knows that it's inappropriate to be near this family.

00:06:55.880 This guy is currently the, apparently the primary representative of Carmelo Anthony and his family.

00:07:01.440 And he doesn't start the press conference by talking about, you know, how Anthony is innocent

00:07:06.800 or how sorry he feels for the family of Austin Metcalfe. Instead, Dominique Alexander begins by

00:07:13.200 lecturing Jeff Metcalfe, the father of the slain teenager, about how he is disrespectful and how he's

00:07:20.400 supposedly disgracing his son's memory. Yes, Carmelo Anthony's representative personally attacks the

00:07:26.180 father of the father of the boy who Carmelo Anthony killed. I mean, it is one of the most cartoonishly evil

00:07:32.100 and grotesque displays you'll ever see. Watch.

00:07:36.180 I want to start off this press conference

00:07:38.580 to say something as a deep note, a deep note that I can tell America.

00:07:49.580 What we've seen at the beginning of this press conference,

00:07:54.580 of the father being at this press conference, these are my words. Don't quote anybody.

00:08:02.800 is a disrespect to the dignity of his son.

00:08:09.300 So he says, what we've seen at the beginning of this press conference, of the father being at this

00:08:13.360 press conference, is a disrespect to the dignity of his son. Close quote.

00:08:18.900 Well, he can barely speak English, even though he's apparently the spokesman for this family.

00:08:23.460 That's your first problem, getting a spokesman who can't speak.

00:08:25.740 Really, he's doing marketing for the Next Generation Action Network, or whatever it's called.

00:08:31.940 But at the same time, even though this guy's barely able to string a sentence together,

00:08:36.880 the message is very clear. He's saying that the father of Austin Metcalf, whose name he can't even

00:08:42.060 pronounce, and whose son was just brutally murdered by his client, doesn't deserve to be in the same room

00:08:48.240 as the family of Carmelo Anthony. And then he implies he has some sort of dirt on Austin Metcalf,

00:08:54.140 but he doesn't want to say what it is. He just wants to smear the name of the dead child as much

00:08:58.880 as possible. He also clearly wants to torment Jeff Metcalf, a grieving father, who has shown

00:09:03.740 Carmelo Anthony and his family infinitely more grace and compassion than they deserve, and certainly

00:09:09.880 much more compassion and grace than they are showing him. And for good measure, he implies that

00:09:14.740 Jeff Metcalf is a racist. And then they had the police come and throw Jeff out of the press

00:09:20.480 conference. And of course, when Jeff Metcalf was told to leave, interestingly enough,

00:09:24.880 he didn't stab anyone as Carmelo Anthony did in the same situation. Now, this illiterate scumbag 1.00

00:09:32.080 knows exactly what he's doing. He understands that Anthony's only real chance of acquittal 1.00

00:09:36.360 is to stoke racial conflict in the hopes that he can pollute the jury. That's the only chance he has.

00:09:42.640 Because they've got him dead to rights on the facts. He brought a knife where it wasn't supposed to

00:09:47.340 be. He brought a knife to a school event. That's problem number one. Took it out and stabbed

00:09:51.680 someone, even though he couldn't possibly have really feared for his life in that scenario.

00:09:55.840 Tried to ditch the murder weapon, ran away, and then asked the police whether he has a plausible

00:10:00.780 self-defense claim. Which, that fact alone, by the way, even without all the rest of it, that fact

00:10:06.800 alone should basically sink him. Because any self-defense claim is going to hinge, to begin with,

00:10:14.600 at a minimum, on the defendant being able to say that he believed he was in fear for his life.

00:10:23.520 That he, that, you know, at least he believed it was self-defense. Well, the defendant can't say that

00:10:29.280 because he revealed his state of mind to the police shortly after, and he wasn't sure whether

00:10:34.760 it was self-defense or not. And that's really what this entire press conference was about. At no point

00:10:41.180 during his remarks, which lasted around 30 minutes, did Dominique Alexander outline a coherent defense

00:10:47.260 of what Anthony did. Instead, in addition to lashing out at the victim's father, he suggested that the

00:10:53.120 Frisco School District was actually responsible for Austin Metcalfe's death because they didn't cancel

00:10:59.000 the track meet during inclement weather. Yes, that's actually what he said. Anthony stabbed and killed

00:11:05.660 somebody because it was raining. And it's the school's fault for not canceling the event

00:11:11.980 because of the rain. They should have known that when it was raining, they got to cancel it because

00:11:17.020 if they don't, somebody might get stabbed. You know, this is, uh, this is what the school should

00:11:21.180 have known ahead of time. So he demanded to know why the media wasn't holding the school district

00:11:26.120 responsible for holding the track meet during the rain. As if that explains in any way whatsoever,

00:11:31.380 uh, why Carmelo Anthony killed Austin Metcalfe. Watch. I'm trying to find how many of y'all

00:11:38.420 have asked the superintendent or one single board of trustee. Why didn't you cancel or postpone

00:11:46.420 with weather in that magnitude? You couldn't have a track meet in rain or thunderstorm or clouds.

00:11:55.140 Y'all are the media. Ask your journalists, your weather journalists, how the weather was that day

00:12:01.860 in that time. Y'all do that research. Because as a person who is the administrator of yet children,

00:12:13.700 you are responsible for the safety of the children. And so it seems as if Frisco ISD is trying to push this

00:12:24.420 off. Yeah. How many of y'all have asked why the school district didn't cancel the track meet?

00:12:29.780 And for that matter, how many of y'all have asked why Austin Metcalfe decided to attend the track meet

00:12:34.260 in the first place? Now, if he had never gone, then he wouldn't have gotten killed. And how many

00:12:38.900 of y'all have asked why track meets even exist as a concept? Is it really even a legitimate sport

00:12:44.100 in the first place? After all, if track meets didn't exist, then Austin Metcalfe would still be alive

00:12:49.140 today. So why aren't y'all asking about that? Now, to call this line of reasoning low IQ as an insult to

00:12:56.580 every bottom-feeding microbe that exists in the deepest depths of the ocean, this is probably the

00:13:02.180 most flagrant and ineffective attempt to deflect responsibility from Carmelo Anthony that's possible

00:13:07.060 to articulate while keeping a straight face. And it gets worse when you consider the context of what

00:13:12.420 this guy is saying. The reason he's going after the school district is that they've announced that

00:13:17.780 they plan to expel Anthony. And under the circumstances, that's a very reasonable decision.

00:13:24.260 After all, we don't want any more teenagers to be stabbed to death if we can help it.

00:13:28.660 Every school district in the country has very strict rules against bringing deadly weapons to

00:13:33.380 school events. And they also have rules against using the weapon to kill another student.

00:13:38.980 But the Next Generation Action Network is not happy with the school district's plans.

00:13:44.820 And so now they are threatening the school district. Watch.

00:13:49.700 We've asked that Frisco do not make a decision in this situation. But Frisco ISD has notified of

00:14:00.340 their intent to expel Carmelo Anthony from school one month before his high school graduation.

00:14:06.980 That just shows me that Frisco ISD is trying to push off the blame. The Next Generation Action Network,

00:14:18.740 outside of the legal process, will be going through different avenues regarding to ensure

00:14:28.180 that we fight for the rights of Carmelo Anthony. Okay? So in the next coming days, we will be announcing

00:14:35.460 to the public. We will do direct action outside of Frisco ISD administration office.

00:14:43.700 Because this is outright wrong. You are getting involved in a process that even the legal process

00:14:51.300 has asked us to respect. Yes, they're planning direct action outside the offices of the school district,

00:14:59.140 because Anthony isn't going to be allowed to graduate. And you know, Austin Metcalf isn't going to graduate

00:15:06.180 either because he's dead. But no, the real tragedy is that Anthony won't be able to graduate. He's not

00:15:11.540 gonna be able to walk across the stage and graduate after stabbing and killing another kid at a school

00:15:17.300 event. What an outrage. That's what this Next Generation activist group is focusing on. Their top priority,

00:15:24.580 just a couple of weeks after their client stabs somebody to death, is intimidating the local

00:15:29.460 school district over a graduation ceremony. They're not interested in mounting a substantive

00:15:34.740 legal defense or convincing anyone that their client is actually innocent. All they're capable of doing

00:15:39.460 is intimidating everybody in their path, whether it's the victim's father or the school district.

00:15:44.580 Now, putting it mildly, that's a sign that these people are not very bright or effective,

00:15:49.220 and they're also deeply, deeply evil. And later on in the press conference, they made their

00:15:54.100 incompetence even more apparent. Watch as Dominique Alexander invokes somebody named Daniel Penna,

00:15:59.780 and then claims that Kyle Rittenhouse shot multiple people in the back with an AK-47,

00:16:05.060 none of which is true or makes any sense whatsoever. But here it is.

00:16:07.940 Because these racist bigots try to prevent us from standing up for our baby, our boy,

00:16:17.380 he should be afforded the same rights that Kyle Rittenhouse had.

00:16:22.980 Daniel Penna and all of the people who have claimed whatever their defense was,

00:16:31.300 he should be afforded the same right. Nobody in the public media has one video camera,

00:16:36.580 but we got the video of Kyle Rittenhouse with an AK-47 shooting three people in the back.

00:16:43.300 We got that. And he raised more than $2 million publicly, and nobody says anything.

00:16:51.300 So since they tried to come for us, I call for the community's overwhelming support for this fund.

00:17:00.180 The disinformation that was put out was literally deliberate to prevent you from helping this family.

00:17:09.780 You know, it's pretty incredible to watch. He's ranting about disinformation.

00:17:13.540 And then he states in the same breath that Kyle Rittenhouse shot three people in the back with an AK-47.

00:17:22.180 First of all, Kyle Rittenhouse was not carrying an AK-47. He used an AR-15 style weapon, which is not remotely the same thing.

00:17:28.580 Secondly, Kyle Rittenhouse did not shoot three people in the back. In fact, there's a very graphic and iconic photo from the trial,

00:17:34.500 which clearly demonstrates that Kyle Rittenhouse shot Gage Grosskraut in the arm while he was charging at Rittenhouse with a handgun.

00:17:44.180 Rittenhouse also shot another man named Anthony Huber one time in the chest.

00:17:48.100 And the first attacker that Rittenhouse shot, a child molester named Joseph Rosenbaum, was initially hit in the groin, then in the hand and the thigh.

00:17:56.780 Then he was shot in the head and ultimately the back.

00:17:59.380 In other words, in no sense did Kyle Rittenhouse shoot three men in the back with an AK-47.

00:18:03.820 Literally no part of that sentence is true.

00:18:05.700 And the most important point in the Rittenhouse case is that all of the people he shot were trying to kill or seriously harm him.

00:18:11.740 But the race hustler wants you to believe that, you know, this guy's fake retelling of the case so that he can draw a fake parallel with Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penna.

00:18:22.980 But Rittenhouse and Daniel Penna raised money because they were clearly innocent.

00:18:28.000 And that's also to say nothing of the fact that all of these race hustlers who are comparing this to Rittenhouse and Penna,

00:18:34.660 all of them said that Rittenhouse and Penna were guilty.

00:18:40.100 So by their own testimony, they are admitting that Carmelo Anthony is guilty.

00:18:45.640 You can page through the comments on the Give, Send, Go account for Carmelo Anthony.

00:18:50.540 And it becomes very clear what all this is really about.

00:18:53.660 Here's just a handful of representative comments that were posted on the Give, Send, Go.

00:19:00.020 All of these comments have several likes indicating that they're popular in the community.

00:19:03.840 And also importantly, all of these comments are from people who actually donated money.

00:19:08.100 So these are not just random Twitter trolls or random Internet trolls.

00:19:12.840 These are people who gave money, in some cases, you know, a good little chunk of money,

00:19:18.580 and then left a comment explaining why they gave money.

00:19:22.040 So I'm going to read a couple of these comments.

00:19:25.280 Quote, quote, 0.99

00:19:27.200 These white people can die mad like they ancestors did. 0.99

00:19:31.080 Quote, 1.00

00:19:32.340 These crackers need to understand that we are not our ancestors, 0.98

00:19:35.640 and they will reap what they sow.

00:19:37.680 I hope the knife made a full recovery.

00:19:41.540 Quote,

00:19:42.000 Keep doing what you do, young man.

00:19:44.000 You are an anti-bullying hero, a scholar, and a gentleman.

00:19:48.800 Quote,

00:19:49.420 We are the defenders of our lineage.

00:19:52.820 And then here's a few more just for good measure.

00:19:54.800 Quote,

00:19:55.000 My white people have put so much evil in the earth, you have the right to protect yourself, Carmelo. 0.91

00:20:02.320 Quote, 0.90

00:20:02.800 I love when we stand up for each other.

00:20:05.740 And then, quote,

00:20:06.600 Keep your head up, young king.

00:20:09.260 Now, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of comments like this.

00:20:12.380 One of them reads,

00:20:13.820 Make YT, as in white people, 1.00

00:20:16.180 Make white people mad. 0.99

00:20:18.500 Another reads, 0.99

00:20:19.280 Protect our own, and so on and so on.

00:20:21.360 Now, during this press conference,

00:20:23.300 neither Carmelo Anthony's family nor their representative condemned any of this.

00:20:28.300 They didn't discourage their supporters from posting explicitly anti-white race hatred on their give, send, go.

00:20:33.260 Instead, the mother of Carmelo Anthony claimed that she has not withdrawn any money from the give, send, go

00:20:38.560 as a way of contesting reports from various outlets that they're renting a mansion

00:20:42.420 and driving expensive new cars with the money that they got from the fundraiser.

00:20:47.020 She says that's not true.

00:20:48.460 Watch.

00:20:49.540 And let me be clear.

00:20:51.360 The claims that were used about the public donation to buy a home or anything else are completely false.

00:21:02.660 We have not received a single dime from the give, send, go fundraiser.

00:21:09.280 And the co-founder has stated that clearly.

00:21:12.300 In reality, we were just notified yesterday that we could begin to withdraw funds.

00:21:20.980 And it still takes several days to receive those funds once a request is made.

00:21:28.600 Our son deserves the same rights under the law that everyone is afforded to.

00:21:34.340 He's been raised in a two-parent home with structure, stability, love, and we put God first in everything that we do.

00:21:44.780 Yes, her son put God first, she says, by stabbing a kid through the heart.

00:22:01.340 That's the takeaway here.

00:22:02.360 We're supposed to feel sorry for these people and pretend to be impressed by their parenting.

00:22:07.900 And then we're supposed to believe whatever she's saying about give, send, go.

00:22:11.640 Now, of course, it's quite possible that she hasn't withdrawn any of the money from the give, send, go.

00:22:16.100 And at the same time, it's possible that this next generation action network is fronting some money until the check from give, send, go clears.

00:22:22.780 That certainly wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility.

00:22:25.860 After all, this action network is clearly fronting some bodyguards and other various amenities for the family.

00:22:31.100 They're uploading footage showing how they're treating Carmelo Anthony, which is like they're treating him like a celebrity.

00:22:36.580 Here's some of it.

00:22:43.900 All right.

00:22:45.080 All right.

00:22:45.480 Come on now.

00:22:45.980 Just follow the baby behind us. 0.93

00:22:50.440 Just stay close, okay?

00:22:52.780 Carmelo, do you have anything that you'd like to say?

00:23:14.900 Carmelo, do you have anything that you'd like to say to the victim, to the family of the victim?

00:23:20.040 Why were you armed, sweetheart?

00:23:21.660 Carmelo, why were you armed at school?

00:23:27.860 Explain your self-defense.

00:23:29.280 How is this self-defense?

00:23:31.320 Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

00:23:32.420 What do you like to say?

00:23:33.680 Do you want to say to the community that's donated?

00:23:35.400 No.

00:23:35.900 Again, it's just incredible to watch the sheer brazenness of this whole display. 0.78

00:23:58.840 They're not just treating this murdering thug like a celebrity.

00:24:02.680 They're also flaunting it. 0.95

00:24:04.820 They want you to know that having killed a white kid, Anthony is being treated like, you know, Kobe Bryant or something. 0.98

00:24:10.280 They want to send the message to other black kids that they'll get the same treatment if they decide to shank a white student at their school. 0.97

00:24:16.280 Now, we'll play one final clip from this horror show of a press conference, if only to make it clear how shameless these people are, how little self-awareness they have. 0.97

00:24:23.780 Watch as Dominic 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.

00:24:33.220 Watch.

00:24:33.900 I'm going to say this again, and this is for everybody.

00:24:39.360 Black people in America, while the current occupant sits at 1600 Pennsylvania, black people in America don't have to pull the race card.

00:24:51.080 Black people in America are, it's what we live as a reality every day.

00:24:56.160 It's what we have to teach our children.

00:24:58.980 We don't want to, but we have to.

00:25:02.860 Maybe now's the time to mention that Dominic Alexander was convicted in 2009 for shaking his girlfriend's two-year-old child until the child's brain started bleeding.

00:25:11.900 Only spent eight days in jail for that crime somehow.

00:25:14.560 Maybe now's the time to mention that Dominic Alexander was also indicted in 2019 for assaulting a woman.

00:25:19.260 We could also talk about his legal troubles for allegedly stealing a car, evading arrest, forging a check.

00:25:25.580 Yes, the representative for the Camelo Anthony family is himself a thug and a career criminal who should have been thrown in prison a long time ago.

00:25:34.700 This is a situation that's so absurd, so on the nose, that it seems like it has to be parody. 0.85

00:25:39.860 But it's real.

00:25:41.720 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. 0.81

00:25:50.020 These are the representatives that they're choosing. 0.93

00:25:53.000 Thugs are defending thugs. 1.00

00:25:54.600 And the more white people suffer and die, the more they'll gloat in public. 1.00

00:25:57.460 That's where we are.

00:25:59.820 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. 0.57

00:26:11.140 And whatever happens to Camelo Anthony, everyone in this country needs to be aware of that.

00:26:16.460 Open racial resentment is how they plan to get Camelo Anthony off the hook.

00:26:20.580 That's their legal strategy.

00:26:23.860 And the really unsettling thing, which is even more unsettling than this horror show of a press conference, is that it just might work.

00:26:32.180 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.

00:26:43.560 That's right, Pure Talk says, I don't think so, to $100 a month cell phone plans, which is just wasteful.

00:26:49.880 It's irresponsible.

00:26:51.560 Instead, they're offering America's most dependable 5G network at America's most sensible prices.

00:26:56.880 Listen to this.

00:26:57.580 Unlimited talk, text, and 15 gigs of data plus mobile hotspot for just $35 a month.

00:27:54.280 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:27:55.720 Okay, we're going to skip the headlines today and go right into the cancellation because I want to talk about this.

00:28:07.100 If you're a politician and you're desperately trying to make people care about a particular issue, even though no one in their right mind would care about it, there's a familiar tactic you can rely on.

00:28:18.480 You can try to convince everyone that unless you get your way, they're going to suffer somehow in their personal lives.

00:28:25.140 You can construct a scenario in which there will be real tangible consequences for people who disobey.

00:28:30.200 For example, Barack Obama claimed that if you didn't support him, then climate change would probably destroy the planet.

00:28:35.440 Joe Biden said that if you didn't vote for him, then COVID would wipe out your entire family.

00:28:40.580 Of course, Kamala Harris made the case that if you didn't vote for her, then you might not be able to castrate yourself in prison at taxpayer expense

00:28:47.360 in order to affirm your subjective sense of gender identity.

00:28:49.980 All of these arguments, however persuasive you might find them, were intended to make you say,

00:28:54.000 well, I don't want that horrible thing to happen to me, therefore I'm voting for this particular politician.

00:28:59.240 But as common as this tactic may be, it does have its limits.

00:29:02.800 And if you want an illustration of those limits, look no further than the current line of argument from leading Democrats,

00:29:09.520 including Tim Walz and Elizabeth Warren.

00:29:11.200 At the moment, they're all trying to convince you to empathize with an illegal alien named Kilmar Abrego-Garcia,

00:29:18.180 who was deported by the Trump administration last month to El Salvador.

00:29:21.600 You've certainly heard about this case.

00:29:23.820 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.

00:29:30.960 In order to convince you to care about this man's plight,

00:29:33.520 they're inviting you to pretend that somehow you share his problems,

00:29:37.580 and that someday soon, you know, you might share in his fate as well.

00:29:40.760 Watch.

00:29:41.660 And this whole thing with Mr. Abrego-Garcia,

00:29:44.380 it's that old wisdom and terrifying is,

00:29:47.340 if you're not speaking up for this man,

00:29:49.540 there will be no one left to speak up for you.

00:29:51.760 We do not disappear people in the United States.

00:29:55.420 Because here's the thing,

00:29:56.960 if they can disappear, Mr. Abrego-Garcia,

00:30:00.680 then they can disappear you.

00:30:02.440 It's about disappearing people,

00:30:04.860 but it's also about obeying court orders.

00:30:08.520 If they can disappear Mr. Abrego-Garcia,

00:30:11.280 then they can disappear you.

00:30:12.980 That's the message.

00:30:14.320 We can assume it was carefully tested by the same focus group

00:30:17.240 that thought Michelle Obama's podcast was a good idea. 0.96

00:30:20.480 They truly believed that everyone hearing this line

00:30:22.840 would drop whatever they were doing

00:30:24.140 and demand justice for poor Abrego-Garcia.

00:30:27.340 After all, who among us wants to be deported to El Salvador

00:30:30.340 for literally no reason whatsoever?

00:30:31.900 It's something that can happen to any of us right now.

00:30:34.340 Any single one of us could just be

00:30:35.600 thrown into a van and next thing you know,

00:30:38.140 we're in an El Salvadoran prison.

00:30:41.620 The problem is that, as you might have guessed,

00:30:44.360 there are more than a couple of differences

00:30:46.520 between the typical American citizen

00:30:48.240 and a man like Mr. Abrego-Garcia.

00:30:51.520 And once you take a look at those differences,

00:30:53.140 you'll very quickly realize that actually there is no chance

00:30:56.180 that the Trump administration will be able to disappear you

00:30:58.860 in a similar fashion.

00:31:00.260 And there's no chance that the Trump administration

00:31:01.820 would try to do that.

00:31:03.380 So let's start with a police report

00:31:05.000 that documents Mr. Abrego-Garcia's activities in 2019

00:31:08.400 when he was loitering in a Home Depot parking lot

00:31:11.500 in Hyattsville, Maryland.

00:31:13.000 And we'll put the first page of the report

00:31:14.700 up on the screen there.

00:31:15.640 You can see it.

00:31:16.740 As you can see,

00:31:17.440 officers immediately recognized

00:31:18.680 that a guy named Cristian Hernandez Romero,

00:31:22.420 whose codename is Bimbo,

00:31:24.240 was loitering alongside Abrego-Garcia.

00:31:26.100 And Bimbo, according to this report, 0.99

00:31:28.540 is a well-known member of the MS-13 Sailor's Click.

00:31:32.520 There were also two small plastic bottles

00:31:34.640 containing marijuana on the scene,

00:31:35.940 for what it's worth.

00:31:37.220 Additionally, a man named Jose Guillermo Dominguez

00:31:39.980 was also hanging out with this crew.

00:31:42.340 And he was sporting tattoos of skulls covering his eyes,

00:31:45.320 which the police noted was indicative

00:31:46.780 of Hispanic gang culture. 0.58

00:31:48.800 And indeed, Dominguez was later determined

00:31:50.680 to be a member of MS-13 as well.

00:31:52.500 He apparently holds the rank of Chequo,

00:31:56.380 Chequeo, is that it?

00:31:58.000 With the moniker Maniaco.

00:32:00.760 Now, at this point,

00:32:01.760 I know what you're thinking.

00:32:03.880 You're saying to yourself,

00:32:05.300 well, so what?

00:32:06.260 This doesn't tell me anything

00:32:07.180 about Mr. Abrego-Garcia.

00:32:09.000 Who among us, who among us

00:32:10.880 hasn't been hanging out

00:32:12.060 in a Home Depot parking lot

00:32:13.460 with two members of MS-13

00:32:15.720 with Coke cans full of marijuana

00:32:17.900 strewn all over the place?

00:32:19.000 It's the most natural thing in the world.

00:32:21.160 You know, for all we know,

00:32:22.980 Mr. Abrego-Garcia could have been

00:32:24.240 in the wrong place at the wrong time.

00:32:25.260 Maybe he was just shopping at Home Depot.

00:32:26.820 He was picking up some, you know,

00:32:28.580 some fertilizer or something.

00:32:30.460 And he just so happened to,

00:32:32.200 I mean, it could have,

00:32:33.080 if I had a dollar for every MS-13 gang member

00:32:36.180 that I've inadvertently hung out with,

00:32:38.020 I would be a very wealthy man.

00:32:39.640 So it's all very normal.

00:32:41.800 Unfortunately for the Mr. Abrego-Garcia truthers

00:32:46.500 out there,

00:32:47.500 the DOJ also released the second page

00:32:49.460 of the police report.

00:32:50.480 And here it is.

00:32:52.120 It turns out that

00:32:52.880 when he was interviewed by police,

00:32:54.620 Abrego-Garcia was, quote,

00:32:56.080 wearing a Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie

00:32:57.960 with rolls of money covering the eyes

00:33:00.120 and the ears and mouth of the presidents

00:33:01.980 on the separate denominations.

00:33:04.120 Officers know such clothing

00:33:05.140 to be indicative

00:33:05.760 of the Hispanic gang culture.

00:33:08.300 Wearing the Chicago Bulls hat

00:33:09.480 represents that they are a member

00:33:13.020 in good standing with MS-13.

00:33:15.100 Officers contacted a past proven

00:33:16.740 and reliable source of information

00:33:18.100 who advised Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia

00:33:21.480 is an active member of MS-13

00:33:23.320 with the Western's clique.

00:33:25.600 The confidential source further advised

00:33:27.320 that he is also the rank of Chicao

00:33:30.560 with the moniker of Chele.

00:33:33.960 Now, again,

00:33:35.700 you might be tempted to dismiss all of this,

00:33:37.900 especially if you've heard the version

00:33:39.700 of this story

00:33:40.480 that's like circulating on social media.

00:33:42.600 In fact, you may have heard the version.

00:33:43.840 I've seen people say that,

00:33:45.400 well, they thought he was a member of MS-13

00:33:46.940 just because he was wearing

00:33:48.400 a Chicago Bulls hat.

00:33:50.400 No, it's a Chicago Bulls hat

00:33:51.840 with the money,

00:33:52.760 with the eyes crossed out,

00:33:55.600 along with hanging out

00:33:57.840 with other MS-13 members,

00:33:59.220 along with an informant saying,

00:34:01.640 yes, he's a member of MS-13.

00:34:03.080 All of those things together

00:34:04.280 is what led officers to the conclusion

00:34:06.640 that it's extremely likely

00:34:09.320 that this guy's affiliated with gangs.

00:34:11.680 But still, you know,

00:34:12.580 it's just one police officer

00:34:13.700 writing a report.

00:34:14.520 Maybe for reasons

00:34:15.240 that are completely unclear

00:34:16.420 and inexplicable,

00:34:17.300 this officer decided to frame

00:34:18.720 some random people

00:34:19.740 in a Home Depot parking lot one day.

00:34:21.700 Could happen to anyone,

00:34:22.940 just like Tim Walz

00:34:23.760 and Elizabeth Warren said.

00:34:25.280 Then they have to explain away

00:34:26.320 this piece of evidence,

00:34:27.420 which was just reported by Fox.

00:34:30.060 This is a written

00:34:31.040 domestic violence allegation

00:34:32.600 that was drafted

00:34:33.620 by Abrego Garcia's wife in 2021.

00:34:36.940 In this document,

00:34:37.780 she says that, quote, 0.95

00:34:38.580 quote, I'm reading,

00:34:40.300 at this point,

00:34:41.280 I'm afraid to be close to him.

00:34:42.680 I have multiple photos

00:34:43.800 and videos of how violent

00:34:45.060 he can be

00:34:45.760 and all the bruises

00:34:46.740 he has left me.

00:34:48.640 She also says

00:34:49.160 that he punched her repeatedly

00:34:50.320 and grabbed her arm

00:34:51.180 and that in 2023,

00:34:52.500 he hit me with his work boot.

00:34:54.360 She adds that in August of 2020,

00:34:55.960 quote,

00:34:56.620 he hit me in the eye

00:34:57.500 leaving a purple eye.

00:35:00.260 Okay, so this is starting

00:35:01.440 to get pretty heavy, admittedly.

00:35:03.740 Still not a smoking gun.

00:35:04.840 After all, how reliable

00:35:05.980 is firsthand testimony

00:35:07.060 from women anyway?

00:35:08.040 I mean, it's not like

00:35:08.660 Democrats ever told us

00:35:09.600 to believe all women 0.88

00:35:10.480 or anything like that.

00:35:11.640 If that's your mindset,

00:35:12.520 then you're probably wondering

00:35:13.480 what other evidence

00:35:15.080 might implicate

00:35:15.820 Mr. Abrego Garcia.

00:35:17.100 You're probably still

00:35:17.640 in search of something,

00:35:18.720 anything that might

00:35:19.480 distinguish him

00:35:20.180 from a normal,

00:35:21.160 law-abiding American citizen.

00:35:23.300 And then you might come across

00:35:24.140 this report

00:35:24.760 from Just the News,

00:35:25.980 quote,

00:35:26.700 Kilmar Abrego Garcia

00:35:27.700 was stopped in Tennessee

00:35:28.620 for driving erratically

00:35:29.720 and speeding

00:35:30.420 by a state trooper

00:35:31.760 in late November 2022

00:35:33.100 and was found to be

00:35:34.360 driving an SUV

00:35:34.940 full of people

00:35:35.680 coming from Texas

00:35:36.500 with an expired

00:35:37.260 Maryland license.

00:35:38.800 The circumstances

00:35:39.360 of the stop

00:35:39.780 led the trooper

00:35:40.360 to believe

00:35:40.760 that human trafficking

00:35:41.640 was involved,

00:35:42.620 according to a summary

00:35:43.340 of the incident

00:35:43.780 recorded in Homeland's

00:35:44.780 Immigration Alert System

00:35:45.880 on December 6, 2022.

00:35:48.280 Close quote.

00:35:49.480 So, we have a suspected

00:35:50.900 human trafficker

00:35:52.440 in addition to

00:35:54.300 suspected domestic violence

00:35:55.660 and suspected MS-13

00:35:57.660 gang ties.

00:35:58.640 What's the big deal?

00:36:01.220 None of this was ever proven

00:36:02.140 beyond a reasonable doubt

00:36:03.040 in a court of law.

00:36:04.320 Therefore, you might conclude

00:36:05.260 Mr. Abrego Garcia

00:36:06.180 is the victim

00:36:07.100 of a truly horrifying

00:36:08.300 violation of his civil liberties.

00:36:10.280 If it can happen to him,

00:36:11.320 it can happen to any of us.

00:36:13.280 Truly, he should be returned

00:36:14.400 to the United States

00:36:15.160 right away.

00:36:16.980 Except that

00:36:17.720 there's another

00:36:18.580 major problem.

00:36:20.420 Even if you believe

00:36:21.280 all that,

00:36:22.220 which would require

00:36:22.960 a suspension of disbelief

00:36:24.440 that rivals

00:36:25.100 what most schizophrenics 0.63

00:36:26.440 would be capable of,

00:36:27.120 you'd still have to contend

00:36:28.960 with one very important

00:36:30.740 immovable fact,

00:36:32.700 which is that

00:36:33.780 Mr. Abrego Garcia

00:36:35.140 had no right

00:36:36.220 to be in this country

00:36:37.360 in the first place. 0.81

00:36:38.960 He was an illegal alien. 0.75

00:36:41.060 Period.

00:36:42.260 And therefore,

00:36:42.740 the Trump administration

00:36:43.280 had every right

00:36:44.300 to deport him.

00:36:45.760 And that's exactly

00:36:46.700 what they have done.

00:36:48.940 Democrats have no answer

00:36:50.160 to this point.

00:36:50.780 Instead, they're staging

00:36:51.560 bizarre press conferences

00:36:52.780 in El Salvador

00:36:53.520 along with photo ops

00:36:55.160 with Mr. Abrego Garcia

00:36:56.920 Senator Chris Van Hollen,

00:36:58.660 for example,

00:36:59.180 was photographed

00:36:59.620 standing by himself

00:37:00.580 at a podium

00:37:01.160 in a room

00:37:02.260 that appeared to be empty.

00:37:03.820 And, you know,

00:37:04.200 it's hard to believe

00:37:04.680 that Chris Van Hollen

00:37:05.420 has any kind of

00:37:06.100 advance team

00:37:06.740 or a press office at all.

00:37:08.300 It's one of the most

00:37:08.760 humiliating photos

00:37:09.580 you'll ever see.

00:37:10.900 But this one's

00:37:11.300 a close second.

00:37:11.920 Here's Chris Van Hollen

00:37:12.900 drinking margaritas

00:37:14.000 with Mr. Abrego Garcia,

00:37:15.420 the known MS-13

00:37:16.560 gang member

00:37:17.180 and domestic abuser, 0.74

00:37:19.840 allegedly.

00:37:21.480 It's enough to

00:37:22.240 make you feel

00:37:23.000 a very small amount

00:37:23.920 of pity

00:37:24.340 for this senator,

00:37:26.360 whoever he is.

00:37:27.620 He probably flew over

00:37:28.420 to El Salvador

00:37:29.060 before he realized

00:37:30.020 that this guy 0.96

00:37:30.520 was a wife-beating 0.62

00:37:31.500 gang member

00:37:32.100 with a history

00:37:32.680 of human trafficking,

00:37:33.880 reportedly.

00:37:34.700 And then,

00:37:35.080 after all this news

00:37:36.140 came out,

00:37:36.880 he decided,

00:37:37.520 well,

00:37:37.680 I've come this far,

00:37:38.460 why not have

00:37:38.840 some margaritas?

00:37:40.100 The writer,

00:37:40.780 Peachy Keenan, 0.98

00:37:41.420 summarized the left's

00:37:42.300 current predicament

00:37:43.080 this way,

00:37:44.760 quote,

00:37:45.020 The Democrats'

00:37:46.160 top four heroes

00:37:47.020 in America

00:37:47.460 are now,

00:37:48.920 one,

00:37:49.460 a murderer

00:37:49.900 named Luigi,

00:37:51.080 gun,

00:37:51.760 a murderer

00:37:52.220 named Carmelo, 0.58

00:37:53.120 butcher knife,

00:37:54.200 an MS-13

00:37:54.860 illegal gang member,

00:37:56.300 and four,

00:37:56.780 a Palestinian Hamas supporter.

00:37:59.560 It's an accurate summary,

00:38:01.280 which is why

00:38:01.840 it's so devastating.

00:38:03.580 Whatever problems

00:38:04.400 the Republican Party has,

00:38:05.540 and there are definitely

00:38:06.280 plenty of problems,

00:38:07.900 at least they're not

00:38:08.620 falling over themselves

00:38:09.960 to defend the absolute 1.00

00:38:11.080 scum of the earth. 1.00

00:38:13.140 In the business world, 1.00

00:38:14.240 that's known as

00:38:14.740 a competitive edge.

00:38:16.600 And after this debacle

00:38:17.580 of a press conference

00:38:18.400 in El Salvador,

00:38:19.240 along with the debacle

00:38:20.020 of a press conference

00:38:20.680 we mentioned at the top

00:38:21.540 of the show,

00:38:21.900 it's never been

00:38:23.240 more apparent

00:38:23.980 to more people.

00:38:25.580 And that is why

00:38:26.260 Democrats who are

00:38:27.120 trying to turn

00:38:27.660 a violent MS-13

00:38:28.740 gang member

00:38:29.280 into a civil rights

00:38:30.140 icon are today

00:38:31.040 canceled.
