What's up, guys?
Oh, and Troyer Live episode.
One oh four.
Yeah.
One oh four.
And tonight we're talking about what just happened in the Carmelo Anthony case, but first, Gojira or a Boris.
Live performance.
I want you to pay attention to the drummer here.
Mario De Plantier.
I think the most underrated drummer on earth.
This guy is unreal.
Listen to this guy.
We'll be right back.
Just listen to that.
This guy's sick!
*Dramatic music* Since I die, I always do this Since I'm a child I can feel it I get a light everlasting Revolving within a circle Extended wings on fire Over the valleys and
plains To crumble space and even Sensitive and illusion Burn a loser!
music* For all lovers, in all eternal lives In your trouble, why through me no one wants?
I'm counting the days but I'm a tiger Cropping glasses, falling down The place already emboldens
This truth is going for me My intention is of silence It is covered in lies I'm breathing Insiding the same old material It's a lack of replacement In my heart In colors of God In the gateways I'm not on the same path To me I'm not
on the same path Wow.
Okay.
That's uh that's Gojira right there.
That gets me fired up.
I don't know what it is.
Every spring without fail, I get into a Gojira kick.
I don't know why, but every spring for the last like four years, right when spring hits, I just start listening to Gojira, and it like gets me ready for summer or something.
I don't know.
Mario DePlantiere, though, the drummer there, I think is the most underrated, underappreciated drummer on the planet.
I think only, in my opinion, second to Danny Carey with Tool.
I'm not sure anybody will ever top Danny Carey as the greatest drummer on earth as long as he's living.
I don't think anybody tops him.
Danny Carey is so good at drums that Toole, one of the most popular bands in the world, puts him in the center of the stage.
He he Danny Carey is so good that Tool, he is the center of the show.
That's how ridiculous Danny Carey is.
But Mario Deplantiere, extremely underrated, underappreciated.
The guy is just a machine.
His technique is flawless.
His explosiveness, his agility.
I mean, the guy's just sick.
Quite impressive to see live, too, if I do say so myself.
All right.
Alrighty, ladies and gentlemen.

Owen.gold.
We um may we may have a new product announcement at the end of the show.
I'll let you know.
Albert was asking about that.
Albert, I'll let you know.
We're working on a new product right now.
Not sure if it's going to be finished by the end of the show.
But uh we may have it before the end of the show.
I don't know how long we're gonna go tonight.
Um, I did I took care of everything I needed to do tonight.
Well, that's not true.
I took care of anything I needed to do that wasn't in my house so that I could stay at least for an hour, maybe two tonight.
Um, so we'll see.
Now, I am gonna get into this Carmelo Anthony story.
I do have some other stuff I plan to cover as well, but this is kind of breaking right now, and I want to get into this, maybe take some calls in response to it.
And uh who knows.
We may we may pop in.
I know Steve Whitkoff is supposed to be speaking live with Hannity coming up.
Uh, so we may monitor some of that other stuff too, and then I've just got some other odds and some fun stuff, some non-political stuff uh that I think we're going to get into as well.
Which honestly, I try to make the theme just because I don't know.
There's other stuff to talk about besides politics, believe it or not.
And I feel like there is this void.
And there's other people out there that kind of fill it in sports.
You know, you've got Outkick, and you've got Jason Whitlock and some others.
But there's still a void and kind of cultural commentary, entertainment commentary.
I don't do gossip.
I think I actually think I think celebrity gossip might be the most pathetic thing on planet Earth.
It really might be the most pathetic thing on planet Earth.
Like, why do you care?
Now, there's a certain level.
There's a certain level where, okay, it might be consumable or acceptable, but it's gone beyond that.
Well beyond that.
I think celebrity gossip might be the most pathetic thing on earth.
But you know what?
Cultural commentary, sports commentary, some of this other stuff, entertainment stuff, music stuff.
I like talking about music.
I really just kind of want to do that most Monday nights, but then there's always breaking news, and so we got to cover that.
But can I at least, I don't know.
Gojiro just did a tour.
I think they're working on a new album right now.
I don't know if they're still on tour.
But if they come to your town, I highly recommend.
Highly, highly, highly recommend you go see them.
They are just I mean, talk about Mario de Plantiere being one of the most underrated drummers.
The band itself, Gogira, one of the most underrated bands.
It was nice to see them get to perform the opening of the Olympics.
Which is funny because obviously their style of heavy metal is not really, you wouldn't really think, oh, that's like the Olympics.
But I've always said heavy metal is the closest thing to classical music that exists today.
And I say that because of the composition, the style, and the difficulty of synchronization.
So I stand by that.
But you know, that's what we try to do on Monday nights.
But then this story breaks, and I gotta get into it.
So let me get it up on the screen for you here.
Now before we actually get into this story, I want to just give a little context to where I'm at, where I've where I've been at or lack thereof as far as the story is concerned.
I still, I guess, you know, you might in the broadcast world for the level I'm at, I'm I'm pretty young, all things considered.
Like I'm not the youngest, so it's not like a wow, he's young and he's doing this, but for for the level I'm at at InfoWars and the audience I have, I'm I'm I'm pretty young guy for what I do professionally.
And the reason I say that is because I'm still learning.
I'm still learning, I'm still trying to get better.
I'm still reflecting on the broadcast I do every day and thinking about what I can do better, what I did well.
I'm also a student of the game.
I listen to talk radio like a fiend.
So I'm constantly listening and trying to pick up what other guys do well or what other guys do that I don't like, and I'm always trying to improve.
I'm always trying to get better.
So why why do I lay it out like that?
Because one of the things I've learned throughout my broadcasting career is you can't covering the race stuff is one of the hardest things to cover.
And it almost reaches this point where you just you can't even win because I don't even know what a win would be.
But let's just say you're just being honest, you're just doing honest commentary, having an open conversation, open-minded even.
But no matter what, engaging in it is almost hurting race relations by just having the conversation, which I don't want to be a part of that.
I grew up in the 90s.
I got to see a world.
I got to live in a world that wasn't obsessed with race, that we didn't have all the race baiting and racial division.
I got to experience that.
I liked it.
I don't want to go back.
I don't want to be a part, or I do want to go back.
I don't want to be a part of extending this new everything about race and division and tension all the time.
I don't like that.
And obviously, this story is part of that.
So I've kind of learned that over the years.
When stuff like this breaks and it's really heavy racial overtones, I try not to get into it.
And so this is one of the things I've learned throughout my broadcasting career.
Is just I I kind of just I kind of just try to avoid the race stuff as much as possible.
Because I don't want to add to the tension or division.
And you really just can't win.
Somebody's gonna either either think your take is wrong or or then put you into some sort of a box because of the things you say.
So I I kind of just I kind of just gave it up consciously a while ago.
I'm not gonna participate.
And I have no regrets.
And I really don't want to go back.
And if you watch the InfoWars War Room, you'll notice I haven't talked much about this story.
I've I've I talked about it when it was breaking news to cover the breaking news, and then I covered the story about how Givesend Go was getting a hard time because they decided to host the fundraiser, which I stuck up for them for, and I still do, by the way, despite this story.
So I'm getting into it tonight because it's breaking news, but there's there's an aspect to this that is really a crazy phenomenon.
It's actually quite insane.
So let's just lay it all out and then get into this story.
At least what we know.
So there's a high school track meet.
It's raining.
And if you've run track before, I didn't run track, but but I was a baseball player.
So every once in a while, our activities would kind of interlap, or our game wouldn't be till like four or five.
And so we'd go watch some of the track stuff and then go play ball.
So if you if you're familiar with how the track stuff goes, you know that there's there's different tents or different areas where each team is hanging out, let's say.
It's their official bench.
It's not like an official bench, but it's their area right there where they kind of coordinate and everything.
And every once in a while you might know somebody on another team, and maybe you might mix and mingle a little bit.
For the most part, it's just it's just your team sitting there.
So it's at this track meet, and Carmelo Anthony, apparently trying to get out of the rain, goes and sits under the opposing team's tent.
This is where Austin Metcalf and his brother were and their team.
And Austin requests that he leave.
Carmelo basically pushes back.
Austin, you know, gets in his face, says, please you better leave, or whatever he says.
And then before anybody could blink an eye, Carmelo Anthony pulls out a knife, stabs Austin in the chest, kills him.
Now, the details as far as those transgressions are concerned.
I we don't know everything yet.
Which is actually pretty strange, I must say.
And I'm actually surprised that there isn't any video of any of this.
No security video, and maybe there is, we just don't know.
But no security video, nobody filming on a cell phone.
So that's a little odd.
And and maybe there is video out there and we just haven't seen it yet, but that's a little odd.
So, you know, was it really raining that hard?
Like all these little details as far as what led up to this.
Now, aside from all of that, the things that are really making this story so big are the racial aspects.
And that's just true.
It's just an undeniable fact that race has become a major part of this story.
And so you have the black kid bringing the knife to the track meet, which should not be the norm, but I regret to inform you it is.
If you've never worked at an inner city school, then you just don't understand the culture.
I have.
I did two years of youth development at an inner city school in St. Louis, so I know the culture very well.
And just so you understand, the role that I played, my friend started this.
I I just Worked with him, but he started it.
I'm sure it's still going.
He was so successful.
But basically the goal was to get guys in there like me.
I think I was 22, 23 at the time.
I don't remember how old I was.
But the idea was to get guys in there like me that could kind of serve as a motivational role model type thing, like a guy they could relate to into sports, whatever, could talk to them, relate to them, not a teacher figure.
But also we did have physical standards.
The whole the whole purpose was to make them reach physical standards with diet and exercise, but also, you know, just it's got to be there as a rule model too.
But the measurables were all physical stuff.
So, you know, how much you can squat, you know, calorie intake, stuff like that.
Um, but the real impact was actually trying to connect with them probably more so, at least, at least to me, it ended up being maybe more impactful than even the physical stuff.
Because a lot of them, it's easy to get them to challenge each other and want to do the most push-ups or heaviest squat and stuff like that.
But, you know, how do you get them to look at their future and and what kind of man they want to be or what they want to do with their career, you know, that that's a whole different, that's a whole different ball game.
Because they don't really get too much of that.
And if they get it from the teacher or a high school counselor, it's just not there.
So I'm just, I'm just trying to explain the culture.
So yeah, I I went to a couple basketball games, and there were literal shootings.
Shootings.
People bring guns to basketball games, high school basketball games in the cities.
It's not that uncommon.
Now, is that a bad thing?
Of course.
This there should not be a culture where people are bringing guns or knives to high school events anticipating some form of violence.
And and let's just be clear.
This isn't about the right to carry.
This isn't about second amendment stuff carrying for your self-defense.
That's not what this is about.
This is about people that bring weapons to high school events because they anticipate violence or they even want to start violence.
Now, I don't know what the case with Carmelo Anthony was, but he was sure quick to use the knife.
Now, again, the exchange that happened that led to the stabbing, the details are still pretty unclear.
So people jump to conclusions without knowing all the details, which is a problem.
But you have this underlying issue that some people love to talk about and some people want to avoid, which is the crime rate in the black community.
So when it's a white person that kills a black person, we always hear about racism.
When it's a black person that kills a white person, we always hear about black culture.
So none of this really helps the conversation move forward, and we're just basically stuck in this loop.
And then you have the situation like this with Carmelo Anthony, where it just dominates the conversation, and we don't even know what really happened.
And so why do I ask that?
Somebody put up a poll tonight.
I forget who it was, but the poll was if you found out that the Metcalf brothers were about to jump Carmelo Anthony, or or maybe let's say the whole team, let's say the whole tent was about to jump him, and you found that out, and instead at that point in time he reached for the knife to defend himself.
What would you, what would you think?
And I would say at that point in time, then he does have a right to self-defense.
Now, he'll have to argue in front of a judge, because there are rules to self-defense in a courtroom.
They won't just, they won't just let you kill somebody when you claim self-defense.
Um they will you you can still get charged for things like this, even if it is self-defense.
Now, that might help you in sentencing, but it might not help you with charging.
So you could still likely end up with a manslaughter, even in voluntary manslaughter, and maybe not murder.
But you know they're gonna push for murder.
They're gonna say he brought the knife, it was premeditated.
It's gonna be a hard, it's gonna be a hard defense, it's gonna be a hard offense.
But at the end of the day, you've got a kid dead.
And so someone, someone's going to have to pay for that.
So even if it was a case of self-defense, there's no way I would, I mean, I can I shouldn't say no way.
But you still have to justify self-defense, and you still have to justify that the levels you took it to were adequate.
So in other words, if I'm in a playground and some third grader comes up and kicks me in the shin, and I decide I'm going to knock him out.
I'm that I can't claim self-defense to get out of whatever my charges are.
No.
The judge is going to say that's ridiculous.
That's a minor.
Yeah, he kicked you in the shin and you have a little bruise.
So, but no.
So that's maybe a bad example, but that's just kind of the general context when you get into the courtroom.
Self-defense does not always clear you of charges or prison.
So he's good, but but the argument Carmelo Anthony's team is going to have to make is going to be self-defense.
And they're going to have to justify that, which is going to be hard to do.
But whenever this thing goes to trial, I think there's going to be a lot of details.
Well, there obviously will be a lot of details.
But I'm talking about there's going to be more witnesses, there's going to be more evidence, and we'll get a better idea of how things went that ended up with the kid getting stabbed.
Now, what's clear at this point to everybody, it appears, is that the stabbing should have never happened.
The kid should not have brought a knife.
He should not have had a knife on his person at a track meet.
But that in itself is not a crime.
And while you will have people talk about that's a problem with culture or parenting or whatever else, these may be valid points, but how much does that end up applying in a courtroom?
It's a bad look.
It's a bad look.
Bringing a knife to a track meet and stabbing someone is a bad look.
Even if you want to claim self-defense or some other reason for carrying the knife.
It's a bad look.
Now, are there going to be voices claiming that he's getting a bad perspective from the public because he's black?
Of course.
Is there an element of truth to that?
Yeah, probably.
But what do you expect?
What do you expect when this is the culture that's been cultivated by the mainstream media?
And the crime statistics back it up.
So whether or not you want to defend Carmelo Anthony bringing the knife, the problem still persist.
And so they find their way into the conversation.
They permeate the conversation.
So here we are today.
Now the bail for Anthony was originally set at a million dollars.
Which no one's denying he stabbed the kid.
No one's denying Carmelo Anthony stabbed Metcalf to death.
I don't think I don't think anybody's arguing that.
I haven't seen anybody argue that.
So sitting in jail for killing someone and having a million-dollar bond is that's that's about right.
Then out of nowhere, the judge lowers the bail, and Carmelo gets out onto house arrest.
Now again, it's part of the story, and it's undeniable, whether it's a factor or not, I don't know.
Only one person knows, and that's the judge.
But it is a black judge, female black judge.
And so some people are saying he's getting favorable treatment because a black judge doesn't want to see another black kid put in prison for life.
Is it true?
Is it not?
Only the judge really knows, but lowering the bail out of nowhere is why people are asking that question.
And I think it's a fair ask, by the way.
That's pretty unheard of to lower the bail out of nowhere and then put a kid on house arrest who's currently waiting a trial for murder.
So okay, that's a little interesting.
And of course, it falls right under where the fundraiser is at, so they can use the fundraiser to bail him out.
But there was plenty of money left over, and so this is where the story goes crazy.
So let's get into it.
At the Daily Mail.
Killer Teen Carmelo Anthony's family revealed other plans for $400,000 legal defense fund.
The family of a teen who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old boy in Texas, plans to use his $400,000 legal defense fund to move home.
What is this every week when I read these stories?
Do you see why I don't read stories on air?
These people can't even write.
Where is your editor?
To move home and hire what is that.
So if anything, you'd say to move or to buy a new home and hire security after facing racist threats.
You can't these but you're at the Daily Mail.
You can't even write.
And where is your editor?
This is their chief reporter.
Ugh.
Good lord.
And by now, nobody's corrected this?
This is a joke.
Anyway.
By the way, I bet you the fundraiser goes up after all of this.
By the time I'm off here, I bet it's half a million dollars.
I'll look at it.
Anthony, 17 years old.
I think you have to be 18 to be charged as a non-minor.
I don't know.
They might be able to change that.
They might be able to charge you non-minor at 17.
We'll see what happens.
Anthony, 17 years old, was in court as he faces a first degree murder charge for the killing of Austin Metcalfe, who died in his twin brother's Hunter's arms after being stabbed in the heart at a track meet in Frisco earlier this month.
During the hearing, prosecutors asked for his father, Andrew Anthony, why he could not use more than 415,000 in donated funds for his son's defense to pay the original 1 million bond, which was reduced to 250 on Monday.
So I mean that pretty much tells you the judge lowered the bond as a favor to the defendant's family.
I mean, that's what else do you need to see?
I mean, that's basically what that says.
Just 10% of that amount must be paid, meaning Anthony will likely be free very soon.
He is now.
Andrew Anthony said the fund was used, was to be used for Anthony's legal defense, but he also disclosed that the cash would be used for security and to help the family move after the threats they have allegedly faced since the killing.
Why are people threatening the family?
Who's threatening the family?
I haven't seen any of that.
So is that just an excuse to buy a new house with the fundraiser?
Hey, whatever, they can do whatever they want.
I didn't donate.
So if the donors have a problem with that, then they can take him to court.
The revelation comes after a spokesperson for the family said they can't leave there.
They can't leave there after.
They can't leave there, meaning the location, T-H-E-R-E.
Or they can't leave their house after the address was leaked online.
Every damn time, man.
Two.
Two.
Okay.
Leading to graphic and racist threats.
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if that's happening.
I just haven't seen it.
Which included images of black children with knives stuck in their head.
People are mailing this to them.
How is that even possible?
Has this event even been out long enough for mail to even reach the address?
Are people driving by the home stuffing their envelopes in the mailbox?
Has enough time even passed for mail to arrive.
People are saying they think the story was written by AI.
Well, that wouldn't surprise me.
So now they're getting mail.
Anthony's attorney Michael Howard said regarding the money, it would be disingenuous to say there isn't money, but it is not a bond fund.
This family needs to be able to survive.
Oh my gosh, the grift.
The grift is on.
The accused teen killer is expected to post bond later on Monday.
He will have to wear an ankle monitor and won't be able to leave his parents' home without permission from Judge Angela Tucker.
The teen wore a gold jumpsuit, handcuffs, and chains as he watched defense lawyers argue he acted in self-defense.
Now, here's an interesting ripple here.
You have two choices after this thing is done, if you're Carmelo Anthony or the family.
Basically, you can come out as apologetic, And the family can come out as apologetic, and Anthony come come out as apologetic.
But as I'm sure their lawyer is telling them, if you plan to argue self-defense, that's a bad strategy because apologizing is like an admission of guilt.
This is all lawyer talk, but I'm just telling you how it's going.
Now if you think you can win on the merits of self-defense, then that's the strategy you're going to go with.
But if you're not so sure, you might pivot and say, and this would be the better legal advice, depending on what you think is going to be the outcome.
You might pivot and say, you should come out and be overly apologetic.
Extremely remorseful.
Same with the parents, and you know, we didn't raise them that way, everything else, because then when he's convicted, you might get a better sentence.
You might not end up spending 20 years in a high security prison plus more on your on your good time, whatever you have left.
I mean, if he's if he's hit with murder, he's likely getting life.
I mean, I don't see how he doesn't get unless they win the argument of self-defense, which is going to be tough in a jury trial.
I don't see how he doesn't get at least 20 years.
But obviously the defense thinks claiming self-defense is going to be the winning argument.
So therefore the family and everybody can't come out and be apologetic and everything, even though that would be the right thing to do because it would hurt their legal defense.
So this is the nature of trial court of jury trial court.
Every Texan has a right to defend themselves when they are reasonably in fear for their life.
Self-defense is a protection that applies to each and every one of us.
Howard said, as reported by MBC DFW, there are two sides to every story.
Yeah, well, you know what they say.
There's two sides to every story, and then there's the truth.
Howard said he is not ready to disclose why Anthony brought a knife to the track match.
Well.
Why would you?
And I would guess they'll probably they'll probably end up claiming.
They'll probably end up objecting to even answering that question.
And it'll be interesting to see how the judge responds.
I could see the judge favoring with them and saying, okay, you don't have to answer the question, even though it would be a very important thing with a murder charge to ask why you brought the knife.
So that'll be a very important part of the trial to let you know where the judge is standing.
Which, if you look at what's happened today, I wouldn't be surprised if the judge strikes it and says, Nope, you can't ask why you brought the knife.
Which would go against the entire court.
But that wouldn't surprise me.
Anthony's father was also questioning court over an incident in the teens high school back in February that involved an altercation assault.
Well, unfortunately, it sounds like this is all commonplace.
It's not clear whether Anthony was an aggressor, victim, or witness in the incident, which was handled internally by Frisco's independent school district.
Well, circumstantial evidence would lead you one direction, but it is still a reasonable doubt.
This may or I see again, if the judge wants to help this kid out, then she's gonna not let that come up either.
And she's gonna say it's irrelevant to the case, which of course it's not.
It would show a pattern of behavior.
But these are the major issues.
The defense also questioned Anthony's father, who said his son is an A student and captain of the football and track teams at his high school.
Thank you.
Anthony was described as the oldest of three children children who had never been arrested before Metcalfe's murder.
He was the captain of his football and track teams at school and worked at Foot Locker as well as a second job at HEB supermarket prior to the stabbing.
So aside from whatever incidents he has, it sounds like to be an upstanding member of his high school.
His father said he was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but the family moved to Texas a few years ago for a better life.
The father added that he took a leave from his job as a finance manager in a car dealership following Metcalfe's killing.
I guess this is his lawyer right here.
Metcalf's killing has divided the Friskill community and nation at large.
Judge Tucker said they've never had the security issues they faced with this case, according to Fox.
A spokesman for the Anthony family was previously forced to deny that the accused killer had been bullied by Austin before the fatal confrontation at the match.
The two boys had never met one another prior to the horrific stabbing.
The spokesman addressed the community after some of Anthony's online supporters claimed there was more to the story of the stabbing, and said without evidence the teen had been bullied.
An arrest report says a confrontation between the two star football players began when Austin told Carmelo he was sitting under another team's pop-up tent and told him to move.
The two students from different high schools began fighting.
What that means, I don't know.
Before Carmelo unzipped his bag and reached in telling Austin, touch me and see what happens.
The report says Austin then grabbed Anthony to tell him to move, and Anthony pulled out a black knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest.
So this is going to be a lot of he said, she said.
If that series of events gets confirmed, that's going to help Carmelo Anthony, at least with the murder charge, probably get that dropped, and they'll probably look to pursue involuntary manslaughter and claim self-defense.
Now, depending on how much the judge wants to favor Anthony, she may say your self-defense was uncalled for and unnecessary, and so therefore you still face the manslaughter charge.
If she wants to be favorable to Anthony, then she'll just go full self-defense, and she won't say he escalated, escalated beyond reasonable measures.
And then of course you have sentencing and everything else and whatever evidence ends up getting put forth, which I'm guessing we're going to see some pretty damning evidence.
There's just no way.
Now, here's here's one thing that I wonder about.
They say he went into the tent to avoid the rain.
I'm not buying that.
I gotta be honest.
I don't know that.
It doesn't make sense to me.
Now, if you could well, we will eventually probably see the full layout of where he was at before and where his tent was supposed to be and the other tents, all we've kind of seen is just an image of the track meet layout where there's other tents and everything.
But that'll be that'll be the big thing.
I find it hard to believe he goes in there to how does he end up in that situation to avoid the rain, I guess would be the question.
Doesn't really make sense to me.
And so I wonder if he wasn't put up to this.
I wonder if this wasn't some sort of a gag.
I wonder if this wasn't some form of a hey, go into some go into someone else's tent and mix mix it up.
Because the whole I want to avoid the rain thing, just I don't know.
It's not tracking to me.
This seems like somebody put him up to it and was like, hey, or he was like, hey, I'm gonna go over there and start some stuff, watch.
But but I I don't know.
I I'm just that's what that's what I kind of see here.
But that's gonna be another important aspect.
Yeah, as you can see.
So here's where it happened.
So there's other tents here, there's other tents over here.
But I mean, it's not like you can walk under this tent and not get noticed.
It's also not like there's you have to walk a mile to get to another tent.
Anthony reportedly ran away before being arrested by responding officers.
Now that's not a good look either.
I don't know if that'll end up hurting him, but he had apparently told a school resource officer I was protecting myself and he put his hands on me.
Well, that'll help him.
Anthony won't face the death penalty or life in prison if convicted, as he was a minor when the killing occurred.
Prosecutor said last week.
All right, so they're gonna hit him, they're gonna they're gonna count him as a minor, and uh he won't get life.
I mean, I I don't see how he doesn't avoid 20 years other than the judge wanting to rule in his favor, which I would say it looks like right now, that's what the judge wants to do, considering what she did with the bail.
And you know these judges exist, and we see it all the time, where they don't want to put young black men in prison because they're afraid of the recidivism rate, and they know, and this is true, it actually can make them even worse, but you can argue that either way.
It could make it worse, it can make it better.
It does make society worse, though.
That's that's been proven in time with this type of attitude in the court.
So I would say, unless there's any extremely damning evidence, I would say Carmelo Anthony is gonna is is gonna get a decent outcome here.
They're gonna argue self-defense.
The judge is not gonna want to put a young black boy in prison and continue that stereotype and oh, another young black man, you know the whole thing.
So I could see Carmelo getting a pretty favorable decision here.
The only thing that will reverse it is some extremely damning evidence against him.
That's it.
Now, let's say he walks.
Let's say he walks.
Do you think people will be rioting and burning down buildings?
Do you think there will be a white lives matter movement?
You know, I gotta tell you.
I don't know.
I don't know if it would ever reach the level of Black Lives Matter just because that was that was propaganda.
That was an agenda movement, that wasn't organic.
But something something like this could actually stir an organic movement for white people.
And and and forget about whatever you think happened.
Even if you think Carmelo Anthony was totally innocent here, and Metcalf was the bad guy and he got what's coming.
Even if even if that's the case, it will not matter.
If this court case goes on and it remains as unclear and foggy as it is right now, and Carmelo Anthony walks, yeah, I I could see an organic movement of white people, white lives matter type thing.
Now, will it be big marches and burn down cities?
No.
But there is this there is this new sense of white pride or white victimhood.
You know, white people are getting more outspoken about their racial status, societal status.
And this could be a breaking point that actually codifies that into something bigger.
Now you might like that if you're a white person, but that's all going to be part of something that's just gonna lead to worse racial division, worse racial racial strife, worse racial tensions.
And then of course the Soros groups and everything else will throw gas on that fire to try to make it even worse.
And who knows?
Maybe that's the judge's role here.
Maybe the judge's role is to make sure Carmelo Anthony walks so that you can get that exact outcome.
So be careful about that.
Be careful about that.
But you know what?
If if if Anthony gets a murder charge, I bet you Black Lives Matter reignites.
I wouldn't that would not surprise me one bit.
And they'll say, look, a black man can't even defend himself.
Racism.
So there's just it's sad, but it's true.
This case is just gonna go bad for race relations, no matter what happens.
Unless somebody has video evidence of the event transpiring, I don't see a positive outcome for society and race relations in America.
Now, for the people involved in the case, that's that's a more personal thing, that's a different story.
But I just I I don't see how this thing it's gonna be way too racialized by the time that there's a decision here.
And you know it's gonna be hyped up in the media, too.
So it's only gonna get bigger.
And they're gonna show you the black kid a hundred thousand times, they're gonna show you the white kid a hundred thousand times.
You're gonna have the the black lives matter types defending the black person, and and he's always the victim.
You're gonna have white people saying this is more violence against whites, and everybody ignores it.
You can already see all of it coming down.
And after what happened today with the bail, I'd say this is exactly where it's going.
And it's it breaks my heart.
I just I wonder, you know, time and civilization only move forward most of the time.
Most human progress is always forward.
meaning life is always going to be different for you than it was for your parents or your grandparents.
But that phenomenon has reached a light speed velocity where my experience growing up will be closer to my great grandfathers or my grandfathers than it will be to my kids.
And that's beyond just raced up, but technology and everything else is really what is going to play into that.
But I'm saying it breaks my heart because I mean I I genuinely grew up, and everybody seems to agree that was there.
You grew up in the 90s and maybe a little bit in the 80s, a little bit early 2000s.
This this wasn't this wasn't a thing.
Nobody cared about race.
Nobody obsessed over race.
Nobody cared what color your skin was.
We were all Americans.
We were all living life in America.
Nobody, nobody thought about skin color, at least not to this degree.
It didn't factor into everything.
It wasn't something you had to carry around like a cloud following you everywhere.
It all seems to have transpired after Barack Obama, by the way, which it was totally intentional.
Barack Obama did that by design.
So yeah, Barack Obama brought racism back.
Barack Obama set race relations back a century in this country, and it was intentional.
He didn't do anything to help it then.
He's not doing anything to help it now.
So that was all by design.
But I just can't imagine now being a kid and never getting to experience life without some racial strife or agenda constantly involving itself in the world that you're living in and growing up in.
And that's not even to mention all the other things that kids will never get to experience.
But that's one that is certainly sad.
Let's see where the donation is at now.
Let's see where the donation is at now.
Let me see if I can find it.
By the way, there were like there were like twenty.
Yeah, there still are.
There's like a ton of different fundraisers.
So people are making fake fundraisers to try to grift off of this in Carmelo Anthony's name.
It looks like they're trying to shut them down, but I've seen at least 20.
So it's up to it's up to 424,000.
People are still giving up to the last minute.
$50, $25, $50, $20, $10, $40, $50.
This is all in the last five minutes.
I pray for truth and justice for Carmelo.
They're putting Bible verses in here.
Though you walk through the valley.
Here, I can put this up on the screen.
Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you shall fear no evil, for thou art with you.
Well, let me tell you, you will be reading the Bible a lot in jail.
May the legal system do the right thing by this man praying for Anthony family, praying for Kamarlo Anthony, justice for Carmelo, the truth must come out.
That's pretty wild stuff.
Hmm.
Yeah.
So it'll likely reach over half a million when it's all said and done.
So now, all right, so this is the conclusion here.
So the Anthony family has said they're using this money to buy a new house and to hire personal security.
Now this is so crazy.
And it's not even that I blame them.
I didn't donate, so you know, what am I to say?
If the donors have a problem with that, then they can take it up.
But my guess is they won't.
They're raising money for a known killer.
So they probably won't care what's done with the money, but they say we're going to buy a new house in higher security.
What do you think that means higher security?
Who do you think is going to be the uh security guard?
A friend, a family member.
Ben Crump.
Well, maybe Ben Crump will get involved now that he sees all the dollar signs behind it.
But yeah, that's the race baiting lawyer more than anybody.
He always jumps on these cases.
The fact that he's not touching it, either he thinks this is bad and he doesn't want to touch it, or he just hasn't seen all the money yet, and then he'll get involved.
So that'll be a big teller right there.
Or I don't know, maybe the family doesn't want him because of his reputation as a race baiter.
But here's what's wild about this.
Thank you.
You have people who this is just how the world works.
The world is unfair.
That's just how it is.
But I mean, you have people that are wrongfully imprisoned, can't even afford an attorney and rot in prison every day.
Their lives, their family lives are totally in pieces.
Nobody cares about them.
You have people that are still trying to pick up the pieces from the political persecution of the Biden administration.
And they're not, they're not getting rich.
Nobody's funding them.
Thank you.
I mean, I could get more personal about it.
I don't necessarily care to, but I mean, I've spent about half million on legal funds in the nine years I've worked at InfoWars.
I've never spent any legal funds on anything except legal.
I've never spent any legal funds on anything except legal.
And that's how it should be, by the way.
And that's why when I have my fundraisers, and I have two on my website, one of them specifically says for legal, that money goes directly to the 1776 Law Center, never even goes to me.
And then I have another one that I just raised money to, you know, build this studio and other such things.
But remember, the original Black Lives Matter movement, they got a bunch of money, and most of them just bought new houses and security and cars.
And then disappeared.
And then disappeared.
So it's really just amazing how this stuff takes off.
And again, there's nothing surprising.
The world is unfair.
That's how things go.
You got to live with that.
But this is crazy.
So they're going to buy a new house.
I mean, you can buy a nice house with whatever the number they have left, 400,000, they buy you buy a nice house.
Frisco, Texas, you buy a nice house.
Who knows what's going to be spent On defense.
I wouldn't be surprised if they get a lawyer who's working pro bono.
But after all this, they might uh that lawyer might send him a check or send him a bill, rather, at the end of the day.
But it's isn't it crazy?
And it really does not look good.
It seems like a horrendous lack of judgment because of it appear to be a lack of character.
You're coming out saying we're gonna buy a new house.
Hmm.
So your son stabbed a kid in the chest to death.
And you fundraised money and now you're going to buy a new house.
Thank you.
Now, how do you justify that?
All of it, if he's found guilty.
So this whole thing is just bad.
There are no good outcomes here, ladies and gentlemen.
I hate to tell you.
This is one of these ordeals where everything goes wrong.
Thank you.
But it really makes you wonder after watching the Black Lives Matter scam for millions of dollars and then seeing this.
Not a good look.
Not a good look.
Not a good look.
But I don't see how this goes well for anybody at the end of the day.
All right.
Why don't we open up the phone lines then?
Or should we open up the phone lines or should we get to some other stuff that I wanted to talk about tonight that's not about this?
Or we could just save it for another day, I suppose.
There's just other stuff I want to talk about.
You know.
But I see people are already lighting up the lines.
I haven't even put out the phone number yet.
Yeah, I got seven hours tomorrow on InfoWars, but I'm not gonna be I'm not gonna be covering these topics.
These are non-political topics I wanted to cover.
I never get to be non-political.
I just don't.
It's fine.
My fate is sealed.
My fate is sealed.
It's what I get.
All right, number on the screen.
747 2055 60.
And we'll take calls on this.
Remember, there's only one line.
So when I pick up your on the air, just tell me your name and where you're from, and we'll go on.
First caller of the night.
What's your name?
Where you're from?
Remember, there's only one it's Michael from Michigan.
What's up, Michael?
Hey, how are you doing?
I'm good, thank you.
Did you get any chance to watch the masters?
Uh are you into golf, right?
Uh I thought you were a little bit.
Yeah, I wish I had more time to play golf.
Um, but I did see the Masters.
So I saw part of it.
I mean, it was just it was an awesome tournament.
It was.
I thought uh I thought uh McElroy was gonna choke it at the end there.
He tried you twice.
Yeah.
He tried you twice, and then he hit like a beautiful shot, was it on 15?
Yeah, he curled one in there on that.
What is your what is your see?
This is glad, Michael.
I'm glad you got in first because now I'm already off the subject, just like I wanted to be.
What is your do you have a favorite master's memory?
Oh, mine is definitely 2019, Tiger Woods.
Oh my gosh.
I'd say mine is too.
The the only other one, I'd have to go back and try to figure out what year it was.
I used to watch the Masters with my dad.
Um, but there was one year when Tiger won in a playoff, I believe.
I don't remember which year it was, but I remember he he and I were watching that tournament, and we watched that Sunday.
I should know this.
It was 2001, maybe.
I I don't remember.
But 2019, my master story.
Um it's a Sunday, obviously it's a Sunday, and um I got I got the masters on at my house, and I'm just kind of watching them, but I gotta go get a workout in.
So I go to the gym and I I get to the gym and I go sit in the lounge.
I'm like, okay, I'll watch the end of the masters here.
So I go sit down at the lounge and Tiger starts making his run.
And I was like, oh shoot.
I was like, Right, because that was just Molinari that year, right?
Yeah, yeah, it was Molinari.
And I'm like the lead.
And I'm like, and so Tiger starts making this late run, and I'm like, oh my gosh.
So I so I sit down at the lounge, I'm like, well, I'm gonna watch the rest of the masters here.
By the end of it, there was a group of people, probably like 15, 20 guys, all watching it.
And when when he and and when he hit the putt to win, it was like we were all like, yeah, like we were all like, yeah, like shaking hands and high five.
And it's and you know, it's one of the only sports, and this is such men's culture, by the way.
Women don't get to experience this.
Sorry, women, but it's true.
Yeah, unfortunately for the girls.
I mean, but it really does because.
But there's no no no no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is such men's culture.
When when strangers can sit there and watch a sporting event with golf, it's even better.
When we can sit there and watch golf and all just be cheering for one guy.
Just we it's like we want to see you win.
We want to see you accomplish your dream.
We want to see you overcome it.
Like whatever the story is that year.
This year it was McElroy to overcome all the chokings to win the masters, but then it was like tired overcome.
But it's like not the women don't have anything like that, where men can just in a group of strangers be excited for another guy accomplishing his dream, defeating all of his demons.
Like only men can understand.
Right, right, right.
And a lot of the nerds would tell us, like, oh, you're just like worshiping sports ball or something.
It's like, no, you've never been good at sports.
Shut up.
It's it there is something about like becoming the champion.
You know, or whatever.
You know, yeah.
When it comes to sports.
Yeah, people are commenting too, uh, that Phil Mickelson was their favorite.
Yeah, he used to be the he was the original choke artist until Mickle choke.
So it was Phil Mickel choke, and then it was uh uh Rory McElchoke.
I mean, Rory tried to m mess it up, dude.
He missed that six-foot putt.
Um he could have sealed the deal, and uh, but then he just he you know, whatever he made the birdie on 18.
Well, he made that he made that great uh second shot at the at the extra hole, and that's what that's what changed it.
Yeah, when the playoff hole on 18 when um it was him and Justin Rose.
I mean, he just I mean he hit a dart.
Justin still had a chance.
Justin had a dart in there too.
Well, he he missed his putt by just a couple inches, but yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like I'm not a great golfer, but I am like a legit sixth.
So like I I I always had these dreams, you know, whatever.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, these guys when the guys do understand.
Like when it comes to golf.
Yeah.
Well, it's easier for men to cheer on another man's success than for women.
It's hard for them to do that.
Well, yeah, that's a whole different thing.
I yeah, women are a little bit more.
I don't know.
I mean, well, you know, women are great at what they're great at, and that's reading kids and like game lovable.
Keep going.
Yeah, making a sandwich.
Yep, we get it.
Yeah, we get it.
I don't I don't want to be mean to the girls.
But really, though, I I feel like I feel like we're giving too much credit here.
I would prefer a sandwich made by a man, personally.
I think men make better I think men make better sandwiches.
I'm just saying, think about all the famous think about all the famous.
I actually come from like a big restaurant family in Michigan, so it's kind of funny that you say that.
Jimmy Johns, that's a man.
Jersey Mike.
That's another man.
I'm just saying.
That's funny.
That's funny.
Um Owen.
And I mean, yeah, we love you.
Hey, you know what?
We got one request.
Oh, over here from the Robinson family.
Remember, I'm the grandma guy.
I got the grandma who loves you.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, she's probably upset I didn't wear a suit and tie the other day.
Oh, you did see that.
Okay, all right.
She can't, you know, it it does kind of suck.
She can't remember a lot.
But she remembers you, buddy.
She does love you.
Well, that's great.
Tell Grandma Robinson hello for me, then.
No, I will.
I'll make sure to send her this good.
Um, I I'm actually whatever.
She loves you, brother.
And uh so do so do I. You know, and I'm glad on Mondays we get to take this little break, actually.
You know, maybe it won't get as many views if you like, you know, well, I'm officially I'm I I I'm officially taking the break now.
You've totally broke from the story, and so I appreciate that because now I'm now I'm done.
I'm done taking calls after you.
And uh I'm gonna cover, I'm gonna talk about the other stuff I wanted to talk about.
So you did it.
Great.
No, great.
I mean, honestly, I mean, it is fun to love sports.
But all right, Owen, I love you, man.
All right, thanks for the call.
That was that was just destiny right there.
That was just meant to be.
What do they call that?
I I always end up this always ends up happening late now.
Because what happens is my schedules change in the winter months.
And so in the winter months, I usually sleep later, but I'm up later.
So usually in the winter I'm up till like 2 a.m. and then I'll sleep till like nine.
Sometimes even later if I don't have anything to do, but usually I'm up to like two, three.
But then in the summer months, and we're hitting summer now.
I'm I'm usually in bed by midnight and then up by eight every day.
So but when that's the case, it's like now I go into like brain fog and I and I s it's like in the winter, I still am kind of in that zone at night, but now that my sleep schedule has changed, my brain is like slower to the punch.
But I'm just rambling now.
It's because I couldn't think of a word.
There was a word in my head and I couldn't think of it.
And I'm blaming the fact that my schedule has changed, and I think it's totally legitimate for me to do that.
And I will continue to do that.
I'm done taking calls.
I'm not taking any more calls.
No, I'm gonna I'm gonna cover some of this other stuff I wanted to cover.
How do you like that?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
I just got this list of stuff.
We're just gonna go through it.
This is so ridiculous.
Guys, guys.
How is this real?
How is this real?
Let's go.
Center of Jerusalem, kosher sex store.
This is where the action is, quite literally.
It is tell us about the one of those, because you know, this is the first product that we've labeled with kosher sex.
So special.
Um, no, so these are actually have been heavy seating fuse.
So there's one for men and one for women, but these are like very elevating arousing labor guns.
But they do take and one's a delay spray for men, but they do take like five ten minutes to be absorbed.
But that's the whole point that couples they have like five, ten minutes to not just rush into things and just enjoy each other and be playful and and take their time.
I love that.
I love it.
Good things come to those who wait, right?
Yes, exactly.
Especially when it comes to intimacy, that's for sure.
But um yeah, made in Israel, and we're doing a special load.
Yes.
Um with a coast you get ten percent off with a kosher sex discount, right?
Kosher sex in at checkout, and then there's free shipping within the US, but none Israel, sorry.
You can get them, you can go to the shop and get them here.
Wait, wait, what's the discount vote again?
My daughter has to remember, you gotta say something three times for the person to remember.
What is this?
With a space sex, no, just kosher sex.
Okay.
Uh the website is kosher dot sex no dot com.
But yes, elephant.sex is the website.
And also support Israeli business.
Okay, now hang on a second, hang on a second.
Yeah.
All of the anti Semites have attacked us over.
All the boss is make love and war.
We're gonna destroy the anti-Semites because they're a menace to humanity.
They hate God, they hate God's children, and the Jewish people as the as the nation of God's choosing to promote God's love to all of humanity.
They hate us.
Yeah, you know, back down.
We love the idea of make love and war.
Is what we'll do.
They don't phase me at all.
I know it's so helpful to couples.
I get people in here thanking me and telling you that some of these products have saved their marriages.
Saved a marriage.
Listen, all the anti-summers, you know, mo job, like the Muhammad job.
And that mo job may somehow purge the city.
Okay, well we'll give you a mouth discount as well.
Can we o be not hashtag just M O J O B or kosher sex at checkout at kosher dog sex.
MoJ was in uh London the other day, the Jewish neighborhood menacing with Jewish people there.
MoJob, listen to me, man.
If you had your own MoJob, you wouldn't be able to do that.
What is going on?
Uh okay I'm gonna use different language.
Sorry, yeah, they do.
And let me let me finally say, I am the author give me my book that I author.
I am the author of kosher sex, which is why it's not a good thing.
Oh, this is the original kosher sex off that's 25 years old.
And uh you know, I love that because it's it's based on we made the logo.
Well, it's two becoming one.
Yeah.
Therefore shall a man, Genesis 224.
Therefore, shall I leave his father, leave his mother, you shall cleave unto his wife, they shall become one flesh, they should become one giant tree with l fruit bearing trees.
But the reason and I always love that, so thank you for having that.
But Hannah, there's two reasons why you named the kosher sex.
First of all, because your father authored the book, right?
And secondly, because five foot five and hairy is the new masculinity.
Okay.
All you anti-Semites, MoJob discount, remember, and for all the people who love life and love marriage.
Mo job discount.
And I am a child of divorce, I want to see people married.
Kosher sex is the only way to go.
May all your sex be kosher sex.
All your sex be kosher sex.
All right.
Now look, I I I can I can take anything with a open mind.
And so I'll I'll I'll do it here with kosher sex.
What is it though?
What is it about rabbis being obsessed with someone else's sex life or or lack thereof?
Have you noticed that?
You know, rabbis and and just Jews in general, like run the entire porn industry.
I think a rabbi owns Pornhub.
I mean.
Could it would it be fair to say Would it be fair to say that Jews are horny or are hornier than average on than the average human?
Are Jews hornier than Gentiles?
It's a fair question.
I don't think so, but I I I look.
I have to say.
I have to say.
Where I grew up in St. Louis There's a large Jewish community in St. Louis.
And um hung out with a lot of Jews in high school.
Because the n one of my neighboring neighborhoods It might have one of the Jewish most Jewish population densities in the country, but definitely in Missouri, I would say was the most Jewish density.
And so when I get in the when I got into high school and started kind of expanding my social circle and going to different parties and hanging out with other high school people, I've met a lot of Jewish people, a lot of Jewish girls.
I mean I will maybe, maybe, maybe Jews are a little hornier than Gentiles.
Maybe that's what's going on here.
Now, other people will say it's, you know, Jewish subversion and sexual weaponization and everything else.
And there might be an element of truth to that too.
In fact, um, I I it's actually crazy.
The people that uh will reach out to you when um you broadcast truth like I do.
I've had some interesting things told to me by uh adult performers, and they'll ask me things like, oh, do you know this person or know that person?
I'll be like, no, uh, I kind of quit watching porn uh when I grew up.
Kind of stopped doing that when I was no longer a boy.
But they'd be like, hey, do you ever notice this?
Do you ever notice that?
I'd be like, no, I don't know what you're talking about here.
And so at first they're kind of like shocked, but I mean, I'll I'll just say I I I was told, and they asked me, they said, Well, you ever notice how you see a bunch of Christian stuff in porn, but never any Jewish stuff?
And I said, No, I don't know what you're talking about.
They're like, they'll tell guys to get a Christian tattoo, they'll tell girls to wear a crucifix, but you'll never see anything for a different religion in there.
So I I I don't know.
I was this is what I was told, like, hey, did you know?
I'm like, no, I don't know, actually.
So you'd have to run that by some other adult actor actress if that's true or not.
But okay, aside from all of that, is it is it not weird to be selling sex toys with your daughter?
That is I don't know.
Because part of me, part of me could say, you know what?
They're so comfortable in their sex lives and they're so comfortable in their skin that it's fine for them.
Whatever, I don't care.
Not my life, not my family, you do you.
So if it's not disgusting, it's at least hilarious.
Well, somebody is there why can't he shave that beard?
Is it like a religious thing?
I'm lucky.
I can grow a decent beard.
Now, I can't grow a good mustache because my mustache is blonde.
So it looks different.
Like it my mustache is really white, actually.
It's like not even blonde, it's like white and blonde versus the rest of it that's kind of dark.
So my mustache is a little awkward, but I can grow a nice beard.
If I if that's what I grew on my face, I would never grow facial hair.
I don't know.
This guy is something strange, man.
He gets access to the most powerful and popular and influential people in the world.
He sells sex toys with his daughter.
I don't even want to know how they test them.
And he's popping up everywhere.
He doesn't do Jewish people any favors, by the way.
he's not helping your cause kosher sex Oh I don't know.
Maybe the maybe the Jewish girls were the horniest girls in high school.
I don't know.
Catholic girls tend to get that moniker.
I don't know.
Maybe we need to reevaluate.
Maybe the whole situation needs to be reevaluated at this point.
Oh my gosh, I got others.
I don't want to go back.
I don't want to go back.
Let me pick something else a little fun.
Have you ever have you ever experienced this at a ball game?
This is uh coastal Florida University.
They're having record attendance numbers at their games for baseball.
Here's why.
What's up, boss?
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
What's the damage?
Free.
Free.
Well, what about for this?
Free as well.
Free.
All of it.
Free.
Do you want some nachos?
Yeah.
Free too.
All free.
All free.
Free.
Can I get 50 of these?
Yeah.
Free.
Free.
What about a drink?
All of it.
Free.
Free.
Have two drinks.
Drinks?
All three.
Yeah.
Hot dogs free too.
All free.
There you go.
Free.
Free.
Sweet.
That's right, Till Nation.
This fall in Brooks Stadium.
Every fan, every game, always free.
Free concessions, popcorn, nachos, hot dog, fountain drinks and water for every fan this fall.
Come out to Brooks Stadium, get your tickets now, and cheer on the shots.
Go shots.
So Coastal Carolina, Coastal Carolina, free food at their football games.
I love it.
It's brilliant.
You could save, you could fill every sporting event.
You could fill every venue to the rafters with that.
Have you ever experienced something like this before?
So probably I'd have to go back and check the years.
I want to say I was in high school.
So maybe like mid-2000s, because we were driving at the time.
So I was definitely in high school.
And the St. Louis Blues, who just finished a record number of NHL playoff appearances consecutively in a row.
It was like 20 or something.
It was an NHL record at the time.
I don't know if it still is.
But so they went like 20 years making the playoffs, and then they went like five years of just being the bottom dwellers of the league.
So people quit going to games.
So they came up with this promotion of free concessions.
So you could imagine it became uh, you know, it became huge.
They did it like three, four years in a row.
I doubt they still do.
This is when the team was bad and they needed to get a little you know, fun, fill some seats, get a reason to people to go.
And so we used, but we used to go and they'd fill it, and it was always a madhouse.
And you could go get free food and drinks, and it was really fun.
And it's crazy because you know, baseball attendance.
I don't know if you could say across the board.
Hockey attendance is probably still pretty good where it's always been.
I don't know about NBA, probably maybe saying where it's always been.
I don't know.
Uh NFL is still pretty good if your franchise is good.
If not, it's suffering.
But a lot of the reasons why people don't go to games anymore is because it's so damn expensive.
It's crazy how expensive it is.
Like, we have minor league teams here in Austin, and it's crazy how expensive a minor league game is.
But it's like you know the sport franchises see this.
You know they know their attendance is going down.
It's all TV money now, it's all ad revenue now.
So they're making more money than they've ever made, but attendance is is horrible.
And it sucks.
It's nowhere near as fun.
And there's a lot of reasons for that.
Bring back if you did a free food game, it would be nuts.
But yeah, you can't even afford.
That's what's that's what's ruined sports.
You know, sports used to be really a middle class experience going to the ball games.
The middle class even had season tickets you could afford them.
But now going to sporting events is mostly a rich person thing.
I remember when I was 14, 15 years old.
My dad or one of our parents would take me and my friends down to Bush Stadium, and he'd give me 20 bucks.
20 bucks.
And I could get a ticket for $5.
That was the kid's ticket for five bucks.
Once you were over a kid, it was seven bucks.
It's a bleacher seat or whatever.
They just had the cheap ticket.
I could get a ticket for five bucks.
I could get a soda, an extra large soda for five bucks.
I could get a jumbo hot dog for five bucks.
It was probably actually less than five bucks.
And then I would still have five bucks.
And I remember, because we would, I would have to, I mean, we'd have to decide.
It's like I could either keep the five bucks for myself, I could pocket it, or I could go get an ice cream or you know, a slushy or something like that, or go play the arcade games.
Actually, no, I think the arcade games were free.
What else would we spend money on at the stadium?
I don't even know.
Yeah, it would pretty much just be ice cream.
Yeah, I don't think you could get anything in the team store for five bucks.
But the point is, for $20, my dad could give me $20, drop me off at Bush Stadium, and I could get in the stadium a hot dog, a soda, and something else if I wanted for 20 bucks.
For 20 bucks, now you're lucky if you can even get in the stadium for 20 bucks.
They'll laugh you out of the stadium with 20 bucks.
Can you even get into a game for 20 bucks?
Probably not.
I can't, you can't even get into minor league games for 20 bucks.
That's just a shame.
So it used to be a middle class thing, or anybody could go enjoy a ball game, and that's why it was fun.
And that's why everybody liked it, but not anymore.
Now the players are all spoiled.
Multi-millionaires.
Can't relate to them.
Most of the people that go to these games are all high class, rich hoity toy.
Can't relate to them.
Jeez.
That's what they've done.
Do we have any other baseball videos in here?
Oh, I do.
We might as well do another baseball video.
This is awesome.
Have you heard?
I think these guys are coming to Austin, though.
Have you heard of the Savannah Bananas?
So it's this, it's like the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball.
Would be the best way.
So the Savannah Bananas, they're the Harlem Globetrotters of Baseball.
They travel the country, they play baseball, they do a bunch of tricks while they're playing baseball.
It's fun for kids.
It's a family environment, and it's it's you know, it's it's fake competitive.
But they have this rule where if the opposing team hits a foul ball into the stands, then the people in the stands become part of the game.
If you catch a foul ball against the opposing team, it's considered an out.
So you can make an out as a fan at these games.
So the visiting team, the party animals, they're down to their last out.
When this happens.
Especially when you consider that Hosley's two for two with two doubles and RBI and a walk-off.
Dustin Baber with a barrel, but Bell!
Caught by a fan, and that's your ball game.
A laser beam from Justin Bieber!
What a play by that game.
Now, this is where it gets even better.
So he catches the foul ball.
He catches the foul ball.
And the game they bring him on the field!
He's in the field.
He's in the victory huddle.
Look at our hero tonight.
Especially Hosley's two for two with two.
Do you see how fun that is?
I gotta see it again.
Watch the big man.
And that's your ball.
He catches the game winning catch, and then he gets to go on the field.
That's fun.
Look at this.
Are you kidding me?
And the entire team going to be a big one.
How can you not like that?
That is why you're breaking the game.
Get it, big man.
Look at him.
Game.
Game.
Enter by the fans.
The bananas.
how could you not?
How can you not have fun with that?
That's just good family fun right there.
That's just good, clean fun.
I've never seen the Savannah Bananas.
I think they're coming to Austin later this year.
Who knows?
If I have uh if I have the free time, I'll do it.
I'll go check them out.
See if there's any other baseball stuff on here.
I gotta I got a bunch of other sports stuff.
Oh yeah.
Here's some more baseball for you.
Here's some more baseball.
You know, every generation thinks their generation was the best, but I I do think that competition in sports has gone downhill, and I've got multiple examples of this, not just from baseball, but from other sports.
This is Albert Bell.
And Albert Bell, at one point in time, probably on a bunch of steroids, was chasing home run records, and I think he was at 56 or 58.
And he gets hit by a pitch, but he was in the home run chase, and he didn't want to take the walk.
He wanted to hit.
You don't see this anymore.
Guys will fall over on a light breeze.
This is 90s baseball.
He gets hit by the pitch and says, No, I want to hit.
Here that is in a Cleveland Indian uniform, and Hasigawa came up and in and hit Albert Bell.
And doesn't even phase him.
Obviously, not pleased.
Or did it hit him?
No, he's not even faced.
Yeah, Ed Hickox is saying you've got to go to first base.
No.
I want to hit.
Where Albert Bell swore he wasn't hit by a pitch and refused to take first base.
He says I'm staying in the box.
I'm not going.
I think the ball went off as that, but he's not going to first base.
Can't remember exactly who the pitcher was, but he didn't.
He refused to go to first base after being a pitch.
I want a hit.
Now this could get very volatile here now, as uh he and Wallbecker in one another's face.
Albert's saying the ball went off the bat.
And he just don't make them like this anymore.
Somebody umpire is going to have to make a decision.
*crowd cheers*
Here that is in a Cleveland Indian uniform, and Hasegawa came up and in and hit Albert Bell.
You just don't have that culture anymore.
You just don't have that culture in sports anymore.
And it wasn't just baseball.
It was all sports, including basketball.
And so here's Michael Jordan.
How can we give an example of this culture?
How can we give an example of this culture shift?
I think Michael Jordan nails it in one stroke.
I think he paints the perfect picture of sports culture then versus sports culture now.
You look back in our era.
Yeah.
Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson's Larry Bird, Charles Barclays.
We earn what we got.
When the corporate America came to us, we had a game that could validate their admiration and what we're gonna do.
Now they get that before they play one game.
So in essence, you're paying the kid off the potential.
You don't think that's good?
No, because I think it says bad work at me.
When you get something so easily, you gotta work as hard.
You look back in our ear.
How do you feel about that?
Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson's Larry Bird, Charles Barclays.
earn what we got right america came to us and i had a game that could validate their admiration and sponsorship and all that yeah Did my camera just go off?
Before they play one game.
So in essence, you pay.
What in the hell?
Are they both off?
Look at this.
Killed my camera.
Well, I guess that's a sign.
But he's right.
That's just uh if you could, if you could put it into a simple statement, that's the difference.
But now these guys are so pampered and rich and everything.
They can't even relate.
You know what's amazing.
The creators of South Park.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, they are so ahead of the time.
They did the movie Basketball.
If you've never seen basketball, it's a great movie.
If you're a sports fan, you'll love it.
But it's just a great movie.
But they make the point in basketball, and they're like, don't you remember the good old days when athletes were traded like indentured servants?
But that movie was made in like 1999 before these hundred million dollar contracts were flying left and right.
We'll end it with that.
I had other things, but now my uh my main camera's dead.
I need another studio upgrade because what happens here in the summer, and I know this it's when you when you work in media, you learn this, um, but the studios have to operate at like extremely cold temperatures.
So, like, if you've ever been in the InfoWars studios, they're like 55 degrees, I think is where our thermostat is at.
So I probably should have cranked my AC down since it's hot now in Texas.
I didn't adjust my AC for the broadcast.
So I think my camera just flamed out.
I think my camera just overheated and shut down.
So I'll just have to, I'll just have to crank the AC next time.
I forgot to crank the AC.
I eventually will have some other studio upgrades, by the way.
I just haven't had the time to uh do those upgrades.
And so uh that's why we don't see them.
But yeah, we're dead.
Look at that.
Killed my camera.
Unbelievable.
I'm offended.
But I love the heat, so I really can't complain too much.
Considering uh I love the heat.
All right, what the hell is going on in here?
Okay.
I I I'm not sure we have another product up.
In fact, we probably shouldn't.
I I didn't give the approval for the new hat.
But we might have a new hat.
So let's check out the store.
Oh, and Schreuer.store.
Look at this.
Now I can't even see my mouse on here.
What the hell is going on, man?
I'll tell you.
All right, there we go.
All right, let's see if we launched it.
Oh, we did.
We did it.
All right, so you saw we got new Golf of America retro attire.
We also added the bisonnial, bison quintennial t-shirts, in addition to the hats, sweatshirts, and hoodies, which people are loving, by the way.
The Bison tinquineal shirts, sweatshirts, golf of America shirts, head shirts, and uh this people are loving this hat.
They love the retro gold there.
You know I'm a sucker for gold.
Uh, but they love it.
Uh so this is the new hat.
Now, I have to say, what do you guys think?
Because what I wanted, I might have to make a new one, actually.
But this is nice.
But my creative team, I said, hey, well, they came up with the idea, let's do a tinfoil hat.
I don't, I think we only offer it in white, yeah.
They said, hey, we should do a tinfoil hat.
I said, brilliant.
I said, put a tin foil, just put a thing of tinfoil up and then write tinfoil hat in black, typewrite ink.
So they pretty much nailed this hat.
So this is the tinfoil hat.
I think what I wanted was like the actual tinfoil hat.
Like I wanted the actual tinfoil hat that looks like the cone hat that you put on your head.
That's what I wanted.
What do you guys think?
We could add that one.
Do you guys like this one?
Do we need a tinfoil tank?
Do we need tinfoil everything?
People like this.
We might keep this one.
Maybe we'll just add the second tinfoil hat.
Or what if we I wonder if we could put that like we could put the tinfoil hat, the cone hat on maybe the back of it or the side of it.
Well, there I'm there will be a tinfoil hat, probably 2.0.
I can't confirm it, but for right now, this is the tinfoil hat.
This is the OwenSreuer.store tinfoil hat.
Now, uh, I will tell you there's going to be some other new stuff coming to the store eventually.
We got some cool stuff uh planned for the future.
Uh, but appreciate everybody shopping at Owensreuer.store.
So I'll get another uh AC cooling unit in here so that my camera doesn't shut down next time.
But there you go.
I we have some new, we got new merch, the tinfoil hat available now, Owensreuer.store.
We love it.
We love it.
I can't believe my camera crapped out on me.
It's my own fault.
Needed to crank the AC to like 60 in here.
But I forgot to turn it down because I wasn't used to the summer heat in the studio.
So there you go.
Good job to the creative team over there.
We're gonna get tanks.
I'll tell you what.
Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna put the heat on my creative team, and we're gonna put out a tank next week.
Because the summertime is here.
Well, not for everybody.
Some places are getting snow right now, believe it or not.
But we're gonna do a tank.
I promise you I'll have a tank, at least one tank next week.
And uh we might do another tinfoil hat.
We'll see, but this one is the one right now, and I like it.
So we might just leave that one up.
We might, that just might be the tinfoil hat.
We'll see if we do another one or not.
But I will, we will get we will get a tank.
Oh my gosh.
And you know what I just realized?
Oh.
I apologize.
This one I'm gonna take the blame for.
We always offer women's apparel at Owensreuer.store, and we don't have any right now.
We usually have the women's shirts too.
Now, the women love the hoodies and the sweatshirts, so I guess we're not totally abandoning you.
But normally when we introduce the t-shirts, we have the women's fit.
So we're gonna do a women's fit t-shirt for everything we have, and we're gonna do a tank for everything we have.
I think that we may be able to do a women's tank too.
So we're gonna have all of this maybe next week, definitely by next month.
Uh but OwenSreuer.store, get your tinfoil hat.
There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, I'm gonna sign off.
It's getting damn hot in here.
I'm gonna sign off.
No music for today.
Just listen to Gojira in your in your uh free time after this, and uh just imagine in your head right now as I sign off.
I've got the Alex Jones show tomorrow.
Great guests coming on the Alex Jones show.
Tune into the AJ show tomorrow, 11 a.m.
Central, bandot video, and then my normal duties hosting the InfoWars War Room.
