Patrick frames the case: a jury of mixed backgrounds found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder; he brought a knife to a track meet, entered a restricted area, and stabbed Austin Metcalf in the heart. Vincent Oshana catalogues the circus surrounding the verdict — a man punching people he believes were jurors, protesters, and Jasmine Crockett's congressional defense of Anthony. Tom Ellsworth argues Crockett's response has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with sustaining the racial narrative that gives politicians like her power. [1] — Vincent Oshana "Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years for the murder of Austin Metcalf. The jury was not all white — it included Asians and Middle East…" 21:38 The panel plays videos of Karmelo's grandmother, his parents' interview (in which the father falsely claims it was an all-white jury), and most powerfully, Austin Metcalf's father Jeff's blistering public statement calling the Anthony family 'grifters' who spent $600,000 in GiveSendGo funds and then didn't show up for their son's sentencing.

Jasmine Crockett's defense of Karmelo Anthony has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with power. Politicians like Crockett need a racial grievance narrative to sustain their funding and influence. Once a cause is solved, the machine loses its reason to exist — so they never let it be solved.
Austin Metcalf's father Jeff confronted the Anthony family for not attending their son's sentencing, called them grifters who spent the $600,000 GiveSendGo money and then abandoned Karmelo to a public defender. He also condemned the convicted felon 'advocate minister' who widened the racial divide instead of healing it.
TPUSA used an AI-generated voice of Charlie Kirk to promote Erica Kirk's succession at a women's leadership summit, then tried to pass it off as 'trolling the trolls.' PBD calls it a double dumb move: even if the underlying claim about Kirk's wishes is true, using AI was completely self-defeating.
