Sarah Fields is honest, factual, compassionate and amazing at what she does. She covered the Karmelo Anthony trial from front to back. Here’s the clip of her on Newsmax.
So very proud of you!
JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR:
I never cared that you were trans.
Until you started rubbing it in my face.
I never cared what color you were.
Until you started using your color to get extra "rights" that none of us have.
I never cared about your politics.
Until you started condemning me for mine.
I never cared where you were born.
Until you tried to erase my vote and steal our jobs.
I never cared that your beliefs were different.
Until you declared mine wrong.
Now I care.
My patience and tolerance are gone.
And I’m not alone.
There are 80 million of us who feel the same way.
That's why we voted for Trump.
Can I be any clearer?
Allow me to make something absolutely clear to all of you. And yes, I am angry.
I am independent. I am not the mainstream media. That means I have more freedom in what I do. I am beholden to no one. The mainstream media is careful. They’re controlled. They stay safe. I do not.
I have the freedom to report every fact I find, even when it makes people angry. During the Anthony case, I was able to expose bad actors because I put in the work. That meant hours of investigating, collecting documentation, and gathering information. It was also how I was able to warn people that witnesses were being doxxed and that the family was being threatened.
Through all of this, I became friends with Jeff.
Jeff is a father grieving a murdered son. He was dragged through the mud and muzzled, unable to speak. I spent hours with him on the phone, sometimes late into the night. He would vent. Sometimes he would cry. But worst of all, none of his feelings could be publicly known.
He was swatted six times. Meghan was also swatted. People can argue over intent, but the reality is that sending armed police to someone’s home repeatedly creates a dangerous situation for that family. Austin was called “worm food.” People mocked a murdered child. Charleston White said, “He should have killed both of them.” This disgusting rhetoric went on for a year while Jeff was unable to speak publicly or defend his dead son.
That is why I told Jeff that when the gag order was lifted and the trial was over, I would give him an interview. Unlike the mainstream media, he would have the freedom to say whatever he wanted without interruption. He would not have had that freedom anywhere else.
I could not care less what people think about that decision.
I knew things would be clipped and taken out of context. They’ve been doing it since the beginning. That was never a surprise to me.
This interview was for Jeff.
It was not for them. It was not for you.
It was to allow Jeff to finally get every ounce of anger, sadness, grief, rage, and pain off his chest. I’m glad we did it.
If you are angry at me for it, then you do not understand grief.
If you are angry because you think I should have controlled the interview more, then you do not understand the pain he has lived with for the last year.
My goal was simple: give him the microphone, step back, and let him talk.
Most people seem to understand that. Some do not.
Many are angry that I gave Jeff the freedom and platform to express thoughts he has been forced to keep buried for an entire year.
As for the clips being shared out of context, I want everyone to hear the full context.
Yes, Jeff called Karmelo a “watermelon felon.”
No, he did not say it because he is racist.
He said it while sarcastically mocking the people who constantly clip words out of context and chase viral moments. They have spent a year calling him racist. His point was that if they wanted something to clip and spread around the internet, he’d give them exactly what they were looking for.
That is the context.
And I don’t blame him.
If you’re angry that I gave him a platform to say what he wanted, I truly do not care. I don’t even know how to explain how much I do not care.
I love the Metcalf family. I love Jeff. And this is what he wanted.
For once, Jeff got to do what HE wanted to do.
He is the father of a dead son who spent a year being told to stay quiet while people lied about him, mocked his family, and celebrated his pain.
I warned all of you how evil some of these people are. I’ve known it for the past year. The Metcalf family has lived it, and so have I.
These people do not just threaten to kill you. They threaten to destroy you. They threaten your family. They are not above threatening children.
We already knew this.
Now many of you are finally seeing it for yourselves.
And if a few words from a grieving father are enough to outrage you, then you might want to grow a thicker skin.
🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk speaks from Starbase as SpaceX goes public, with the largest IPO EVER
"If people had told me this was going to happen [years ago], I would be like, man, you must be smoking some REALLY good crack because I think this company is going to fail!" 🤣
"I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear. In fact, I told people this: I said, 'look, we're probably going to fail, but, you know, we should give it a try because if we don't, if if there's not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly spacefaring civilization.'" 💯

Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.
I'm seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran's nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting. The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace.
I've noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can't trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts.
The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.
Just wanted to say that my only account is this one here on Twitter. I’m not on Instagram or TikTok, so any account you see on there is not me. Please be careful, don’t send them money.
Here is the full interview of Jeff Metcalf. Highly recommend watching…
This man, although he says he has forgiven Karmelo, is still deeply wounded, struggling, and hurting inside with what happened. Please lift him up in prayers.
And as hard as it is, and how horrible his parents are acting right now, pray for Karmelo Anthony to understand what he did… let it weigh on his heart heavy, and allow him to find Christ…
While the Karmelo Anthony family is given a nationwide media tour… Austin Metcalf’s father is left speaking out on an X Space interview…
Jeff Metcalf recounts the moment he received the call… absolutely horrific. His story deserves to be told. Let’s tell it for him since the media won’t.
Special thanks to @JinxedRealityX & @SarahisCensored for putting this together for the Metcalf family.

The most surreal thing of our trip so far. Currently driving towards Louisiana and the radio station we were listening to started talking about our trip and played Ella Langley especially for us😭😭😭
MASSIVE WIN FOR AMERICA'S FISHERMEN!
President Trump signed a proclamation restoring commercial fishing access to over half a million square miles in the Pacific - revitalizing the industry, cutting regulations, lowering costs, & putting American seafood producers FIRST.🇺🇸🐟
I’m glad Jeff’s message is reaching so many people. It’s an important message, and I understand why people want to share it.
That said, I do wish people would leave the watermark intact and avoid clipping him out of context. The full interview provides important context that short clips often miss, and I want to make sure Jeff’s words are represented accurately.
I’m not losing sleep over it, but if you come across reposts that have removed the watermark or edited the clip down, I’d appreciate it if you would drop a link to the full stream in the comments so people can hear everything he had to say for themselves.
Thank you all for continuing to support independent reporting and helping ensure the full story is seen.
