0:02
Speaker 1: On scoring US Australia.
0:05
Speaker 2: This is the Wider Panalty Show.
0:08
Speaker 3: Good evening and welcome to the Riata Paney Show coming
0:11
Speaker 3: up tonight, Big Australia by Stealth. A record one point
0:15
Speaker 3: one five million migrants settled in Australia since the Albanezy
0:19
Speaker 3: government came to power. Dan Wilde will join me shortly
0:23
Speaker 3: to discuss that and more. Also tonight Army Horrowitz, Darren
0:27
Speaker 3: Grimes and Adam B. Coleman, who has a message for
0:31
Speaker 3: Raygun And sadly we have more unintentionally hilarious.
0:35
Speaker 4: Footage of her dancing you can.
0:38
Speaker 3: Call it that, and an extended version of lefties losing it,
0:42
Speaker 3: including lefties laughing at other lefties.
0:45
Speaker 5: I know you guys are objective over there, that you
0:48
Speaker 5: just report the news as it is.
0:50
Speaker 1: Oh, I know a CNN makes.
0:52
Speaker 4: It, and I know that that's supposed to be a
0:53
Speaker 4: live life.
0:54
Speaker 5: I wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is.
0:58
Speaker 3: Let's bring in Deputy Executive Director of the Institute of
1:01
Speaker 3: Public Affairs Dan while Dan. Let's start with Peter Dutton
1:05
Speaker 3: demanding a total ban on arrivals from Gaza as the
1:09
Speaker 3: Albanese government prepares to bring in a permanent visas scheme
1:13
Speaker 3: for Palestinian refugees. Peter Dutton told Sky News he has
1:17
Speaker 3: doubts about the current screening process if people are.
1:20
Speaker 6: Coming in from that war zone and we're uncertain about
1:22
Speaker 6: identity all their allegiances. Hamas is a listed terrorist organization.
1:27
Speaker 6: They've just committed an atrocity against the Jewish people, the
1:30
Speaker 6: biggest attack on people of Jewish faith since a Holocaust,
1:34
Speaker 6: and that the government wouldn't be conducting checks. I don't
1:37
Speaker 6: think people should be coming in from that war zone
1:39
Speaker 6: at all at the moment. It's not prudent to do so,
1:43
Speaker 6: and I think it puts our national security at risk.
1:45
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Anthony ALBERNIZI isn't worried.
1:49
Speaker 7: Well listen at the security agencies when it comes to
1:52
Speaker 7: national security and the Director General Mark Burgess will play
1:57
Speaker 7: a cretic corole in that. And I seem to try
2:02
Speaker 7: to bring people together, not always looking for a wedge
2:05
Speaker 7: or to divide.
2:07
Speaker 3: But dan, wasn't it the AZO boss Mike Burgess who
2:10
Speaker 3: said being having sympathies towards her mass wasn't a deal
2:14
Speaker 3: breaker if you want to come here as a refugee.
2:16
Speaker 8: Well, exactly and I think it's pretty rich for the
2:18
Speaker 8: Prime Minister to say that he wants to bring people together.
2:20
Speaker 8: I mean his main policy was the divisive voice to
2:22
Speaker 8: Parliament that he spent his first eighteen months on. Look,
2:25
Speaker 8: Peter Upton spot on the concerns that he is raising
2:28
Speaker 8: are the concerns of mainstream Australians, which is, why would
2:31
Speaker 8: you bring people in from a war zone when there
2:34
Speaker 8: is no amount of assurance that can be given to
2:37
Speaker 8: their identity, where they've been, what they've been doing. I
2:40
Speaker 8: don't understand why you would do that. At this time
2:42
Speaker 8: we know that Labor is their migration policy and their
2:45
Speaker 8: national security policy. It's not based on our national interests,
2:48
Speaker 8: but based on winning and holding seats in Western Sydney.
2:51
Speaker 1: That's the problem.
2:52
Speaker 3: That is a problem, and immigration again is on the agenda.
2:57
Speaker 3: The Albineazi government is being accused of running a Big
3:01
Speaker 3: Australia by Stealth program by letting in record breaking amounts
3:05
Speaker 3: of migrants. James Morra reveals in the Daily Telegraph that
3:09
Speaker 3: a record one point one five million migrants have settled
3:13
Speaker 3: in Australia since Labor took power, with nearly one third
3:16
Speaker 3: of Australia's population now being born overseas. That's up from
3:21
Speaker 3: twenty two percent in nineteen eighty three, and it's far
3:25
Speaker 3: higher than than many other countries are Canada.
3:29
Speaker 4: And the US.
3:29
Speaker 3: These demographic changes are rather dramatic. Are we ensuring that
3:35
Speaker 3: there's assimilation, that we've got people here who have shared values?
3:40
Speaker 8: Well, unfortunately not. I mean something's gone very wrong over
3:42
Speaker 8: the last couple of years with the migration program. The
3:45
Speaker 8: current intake of this government, which has only been there
3:47
Speaker 8: for about twenty six months, is already higher than the
3:50
Speaker 8: entire Hawk Keyting government, which was one hundred and fifty
3:53
Speaker 8: six months. So to put that in context, this is
3:56
Speaker 8: truly unprecedented dramatic search to our population problems, which is
4:00
Speaker 8: per capita growth is going backwards. There's the social problems
4:04
Speaker 8: where we have this social cohesion issue which is clearly
4:07
Speaker 8: in display. And the political problems which, as we discussed before,
4:10
Speaker 8: you've got the tail wag and the dog with labor
4:12
Speaker 8: focused on the electric rather than the national interest. So
4:15
Speaker 8: I think Australians understand that, yes, migration can be very
4:18
Speaker 8: important to our nation and has been, but the current
4:21
Speaker 8: system simply is not.
4:22
Speaker 3: Working no, and I think people are feeling that in
4:27
Speaker 3: various ways. It's not just housing, it's not just hospital
4:31
Speaker 3: waiting lists. It's just across a whole bunch of issues
4:33
Speaker 3: that impact just about every household.
4:36
Speaker 4: But i'd have a.
4:36
Speaker 3: Look at the top ten countries where migrants are coming from.
4:41
Speaker 4: A few surprises here.
4:42
Speaker 3: Nearly one in five are coming from India, twelve percent
4:46
Speaker 3: from China.
4:46
Speaker 4: Then we've got the Philippines, Nepal and Columbia. Those two
4:50
Speaker 4: surprised a few people.
4:52
Speaker 3: And rounding up the top ten, we've got UK New Zealand.
4:57
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll be in their Vietnam and Pakistan and Thailand.
5:02
Speaker 3: So a diverse range of countries. But the question is
5:07
Speaker 3: the numbers and whether we can absorb them because housing
5:12
Speaker 3: approvals and we're just not building enough homes to how's
5:16
Speaker 3: the people coming in here permanently?
5:18
Speaker 8: Well, that's right, and a lot of those mirgrants are
5:20
Speaker 8: also international students. And we know that the international student
5:23
Speaker 8: market is basically a racket for vice chancellors.
5:27
Speaker 1: You know the massive increase that we've had.
5:29
Speaker 8: They claim it's a massive export industry, but a lot
5:32
Speaker 8: of the students are here working. If you're working in
5:35
Speaker 8: the local currency, spending in the local currency.
5:37
Speaker 1: It's not an export.
5:37
Speaker 8: So there's a real problem with the universities and their
5:40
Speaker 8: alliance on international students.
5:42
Speaker 3: Now, Australian Sports Commissions CEO Kieren Perkins, a swimming gray,
5:47
Speaker 3: has told the project we should be proud of Ygum,
5:52
Speaker 3: the breakdanswer and what.
5:53
Speaker 4: He called her awesome display at the Olympics.
5:57
Speaker 9: In all of the commentary and the dialogue that's gone on,
6:00
Speaker 9: you know, all the keyboard worries and haters out of there,
6:02
Speaker 9: get back in your box. We are Australia, We are
6:05
Speaker 9: Australian to have one of our athletes so proud to
6:08
Speaker 9: wear our uniform and then to bring what's unique about
6:11
Speaker 9: us to the international stage. We should all be proud.
6:14
Speaker 3: But in comments on the project's own Instagram page, proud
6:18
Speaker 3: is the last thing of is a feeling right now.
6:21
Speaker 3: One comment is said Raygun's display was insulting and shameful
6:25
Speaker 3: at a display of privilege and appropriation, and another said
6:28
Speaker 3: it's not hating to say the performance stank and there
6:32
Speaker 3: must have been some females in Australia that could do better.
6:36
Speaker 3: We'll be talking to a breakdancer aficionado who's really into.
6:41
Speaker 4: This sort of stuff. A little bit later in the program.
6:44
Speaker 3: But Dan, I've got to say, I don't appreciate Australians
6:48
Speaker 3: being bullied into silence. What we can't be critical of
6:51
Speaker 3: something as public as.
6:53
Speaker 4: An Olympic performance when the whole world's laughing at it,
6:57
Speaker 4: We're not allowed to.
6:58
Speaker 1: I don't get. I mean, the judges game, it's z right.
7:00
Speaker 8: So it's not as if the judges said it was
7:02
Speaker 8: a great performance and people making fun of.
7:03
Speaker 4: It go bully them, not us.
7:05
Speaker 1: It was objectively a bad performance.
7:08
Speaker 8: I don't understand those who are defending I've got no
7:11
Speaker 8: problem with her as a person. I don't understand why
7:14
Speaker 8: is she there at the Olympics. Why is that sport
7:16
Speaker 8: at the Olympics? And couldn't the money that was invested
7:18
Speaker 8: into that particular sport be in the views elsewhere? So
7:21
Speaker 8: it just seems such a strange scenario, and I sort
7:24
Speaker 8: of being gas lip.
7:25
Speaker 1: So it was so awesome, it was so good? It
7:27
Speaker 1: wasn't it was It wasn't a good.
7:28
Speaker 3: Performce I genuinely believe, and I'm not saying this to
7:31
Speaker 3: be bold or hyperbolic, I could do better. I have
7:38
Speaker 3: one hundred percent confidence. Give me half a day I
7:43
Speaker 3: could put together a better routine. So and a lot
7:46
Speaker 3: of people feel that way. So when you're looking at
7:48
Speaker 3: something at Olympic level and you think you can do better,
7:51
Speaker 3: there's a problem.
7:52
Speaker 4: Now let's talk about the Elon Musk.
7:55
Speaker 3: Donald Trump interviewed went for two hours. The media, I've
8:01
Speaker 3: got to say, we're not impressed USA today or amongst
8:04
Speaker 3: the media slamming it. They call it, called it an
8:07
Speaker 3: unmitigated disaster between listen to this a right wing loon
8:12
Speaker 3: and a fascism curious billionaire. They also said he was rambling,
8:19
Speaker 3: babbling on about crowd sizes and immigration and President Joe
8:22
Speaker 3: Biden and whatever else seemed to pass through his mind,
8:26
Speaker 3: and just a whole lot of other nonsense. But the
8:30
Speaker 3: numbers don't lie. The number of people who've listened to
8:35
Speaker 3: that interview, who have heard parts of it or all
8:39
Speaker 3: of it is enormous. I think, by any measure, it
8:43
Speaker 3: was an enormous success if you want to get your message.
8:46
Speaker 1: Across well exactly.
8:47
Speaker 8: And you know, one of the key parts of a
8:49
Speaker 8: democracy is for candidates to engage in open form discussion,
8:54
Speaker 8: I mean a two hour discussion. Trump will routinely do
8:56
Speaker 8: rallies that are one two plus hours. Whether you like
8:59
Speaker 8: him or not, reality is that he's probably been one
9:01
Speaker 8: of the most open and transparent presidential candidates we've seen,
9:04
Speaker 8: and we need to have more of these long form
9:07
Speaker 8: debates and discussions, not less. I mean, Kamala Harris won't
9:11
Speaker 8: even front a ten minute interview, let alone do a
9:13
Speaker 8: two hour sit down.
9:14
Speaker 1: So you know which one is better for democracy?
9:16
Speaker 4: Well?
9:17
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And the fact that so many topics were discussed
9:21
Speaker 3: in a very casual manner with two people speaking, I
9:26
Speaker 3: think it just gave a great insight into where that
9:29
Speaker 3: candidate stood on a range of issues. And that's what
9:32
Speaker 3: you want as a voter. You want to know what
9:34
Speaker 3: the candidate is going to do in offers. Now, just
9:38
Speaker 3: before he left for yet another holiday, President Joe Biden,
9:42
Speaker 3: remember him, he sat down with CBS and he again
9:46
Speaker 3: pushed that lie about President Donald Trump calling white supremacists
9:50
Speaker 3: in Charlottesville very fine people.
9:54
Speaker 10: So now Nazis and white supremacists come out of in
10:00
Speaker 10: America with torches carrying Nazi banners fresh ones of the
10:05
Speaker 10: then President Trump and said, what do you think you said?
10:07
Speaker 10: They're very fine people on both sides. I knew that,
10:12
Speaker 10: I knew I had to do something, and that's how
10:14
Speaker 10: I decided to run.
10:15
Speaker 3: I cannot believe we are still hearing this absolute lie
10:20
Speaker 3: that has been debunked over and over again, because the
10:23
Speaker 3: whole thing's on video, we're still hearing it, and there
10:26
Speaker 3: was no pushback from that interview. In fact, he reinforced
10:29
Speaker 3: that lie. It's a hoax and a lie. Even the
10:32
Speaker 3: left wing Snopes, the fact checking side, has belatedly acknowledged
10:37
Speaker 3: it's a lie. And let's go to the tape, because
10:40
Speaker 3: this is what President Trump actually said.
10:42
Speaker 11: And you had people and I'm not talking about the
10:45
Speaker 11: neo Nazis and the white nationalists because they should be
10:48
Speaker 11: condemned totally, but you had many people in that group
10:51
Speaker 11: other than neo Nazis and white nationalists.
10:55
Speaker 3: Okay, they should be condemned totally. So he was talking
10:58
Speaker 3: about the people who were we had that protest because
11:01
Speaker 3: they didn't want a statue to come down.
11:03
Speaker 4: I would argue those people.
11:04
Speaker 3: On the right side of history, and there were very
11:07
Speaker 3: fine people amongst them. They're not the neo Nazis. That's
11:10
Speaker 3: like pretending that the Women's March in Melbourne were all
11:13
Speaker 3: neo Nazis because a bunch of idiots turned up and
11:16
Speaker 3: gate crash their protest. I can't believe this lie is
11:21
Speaker 3: still still got currency now in twenty twenty four.
11:25
Speaker 8: Well exactly, and when you actually look at the whole clip,
11:28
Speaker 8: it's Trump said the exact opposite, the exact opposite of
11:32
Speaker 8: what they accused him of. I think that the hope
11:35
Speaker 8: that we do have is with social media, with Twitter
11:37
Speaker 8: and with others, this is actually being uncovered. You know,
11:39
Speaker 8: twenty or thirty years ago, we never would have known, yeah,
11:42
Speaker 8: that this was all a hoax and this was all
11:44
Speaker 8: a lie. But the reality is, I think more and
11:46
Speaker 8: more people, particularly what happened in COVID and other things,
11:49
Speaker 8: a lot more people are beginning to realize that the
11:50
Speaker 8: mainstream media is not always.
11:52
Speaker 1: What it seems.
11:53
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Dan will thank you so much for your time
11:55
Speaker 3: this evening.
11:56
Speaker 1: Thank you.
11:57
Speaker 3: Joining me now is gb News host and founder of
12:00
Speaker 3: Reasoned UK, Darren Grimes.
12:03
Speaker 4: Darren, we will get.
12:04
Speaker 3: To the two tier police and justice system shortly, but first,
12:08
Speaker 3: three white police officers have won their racial discrimination case
12:12
Speaker 3: against Thames Valley Police after a judge ruled they were
12:16
Speaker 3: unfairly passed over for promotion because of their race. A
12:20
Speaker 3: superintendent at the force was told to improve diversity amongst
12:24
Speaker 3: senior staff by appointing an Asian sergeant to the rank
12:28
Speaker 3: of detective inspector, despite being warned about the legal risks
12:32
Speaker 3: of not holding a competitive process. The sergeant had not
12:36
Speaker 3: even reached the rank of inspector before they were put
12:39
Speaker 3: in this senior role. Darren, and finally some accountability for
12:44
Speaker 3: these DEI policies.
12:47
Speaker 12: Absolutely, yes, And ultimately we said, when it comes to
12:50
Speaker 12: the police force, you know, that is putting people at risk, right,
12:54
Speaker 12: that is putting people in positions and promoting them out
12:58
Speaker 12: attain when perhaps they are aren't worthy for promotion. You know,
13:02
Speaker 12: those who had been passed up for the role actually
13:04
Speaker 12: passed up, is putting it too lightly blocked from applying
13:08
Speaker 12: for the role. They had been there nineteen and twenty
13:11
Speaker 12: six years. That's a long time to build up experience
13:15
Speaker 12: in a role as difficult as frontline policing, to actually
13:19
Speaker 12: build up the skills and capabilities to understand what a
13:23
Speaker 12: police force actually needs. And they're told, well, because of
13:27
Speaker 12: the color of your skin, no thanks, mate. Now, I
13:30
Speaker 12: don't know about eu RITA, but I was brought up
13:33
Speaker 12: to believe that that was a thing called racism right,
13:36
Speaker 12: and this DEEI needs to die because it ultimately is
13:42
Speaker 12: racism and it's putting us all at risk.
13:47
Speaker 3: It is it is blatant racism. It's systematic institutional racism.
13:52
Speaker 3: I love the left, love talking about institutional racism until
13:56
Speaker 3: it actually exists and they.
13:58
Speaker 4: Ignore it or promoted.
14:00
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about this clash between Humsa Yusef and
14:03
Speaker 3: Elon Masker. They're in a war of words. It's getting
14:07
Speaker 3: pretty ugly. This was a fairly extraordinary attack, if you
14:10
Speaker 3: asked me, from the former First Minister of Scotland. He
14:14
Speaker 3: called Musk one of the most dangerous men on the
14:17
Speaker 3: planet and he also tweeted on Musk's own platform that
14:21
Speaker 3: he is a dangerous race beta who must.
14:24
Speaker 4: Be helped to account for his actions.
14:27
Speaker 3: Darren, it seems a little bit rich for him to
14:30
Speaker 3: be calling anyone else a race beta. You said it
14:33
Speaker 3: is going to be remembered for that infamous white men's speech.
14:38
Speaker 12: Well, absolutely yes, and I mean, of course Scotland. Elon
14:41
Speaker 12: Musk pointed this out, Scotland being a majority white country
14:45
Speaker 12: that has given Humsy use of so very much in
14:48
Speaker 12: his life. You know, he was made at the top
14:51
Speaker 12: job he was given the top job in that whole
14:54
Speaker 12: entire land. Now, what really gets me about Scotland in
14:58
Speaker 12: particular is that this is a country that is one
15:02
Speaker 12: of the drug capitals of Europe. It has really quite
15:05
Speaker 12: low numerous and literacy skill sets, and yet we're focusing
15:11
Speaker 12: on the whiteness of people's skin, as if there's nothing
15:14
Speaker 12: more important to be getting on with within a country
15:17
Speaker 12: like Scotland. I think he is actually one of the
15:20
Speaker 12: most divisive politicians to ever come out of that nation.
15:24
Speaker 12: I think Elon Musk is absolutely right to call him
15:27
Speaker 12: out on that, and that actually the two stories that
15:31
Speaker 12: we've already discussed today, I think go to the very
15:34
Speaker 12: heart of the problem that is rampant throughout the West.
15:38
Speaker 12: It isn't just isolated to the United Kingdom, you know this,
15:41
Speaker 12: This is this kind of pernicious ideology that is racist
15:46
Speaker 12: in its fundamentals, is actually driving a wedge between ethnic groups,
15:52
Speaker 12: and I think it's partly responsible for the unrest that
15:56
Speaker 12: we've seen on the streets recently, and I worry that
16:00
Speaker 12: that's going to get worse and worse if the kind
16:02
Speaker 12: of divisive, really quite awful politician comes to use, if
16:08
Speaker 12: actually manages to win the d win the argument. He said,
16:11
Speaker 12: he's going to leave Britain Rita. I tell you what,
16:14
Speaker 12: I know a fair few people that will chip in
16:16
Speaker 12: a few bob here and there to actually help that,
16:19
Speaker 12: you know, get off the ground, that flight off the ground.
16:25
Speaker 4: As long as it's the one way to get now.
16:27
Speaker 3: The kiss Dama government is falling through on their pledge
16:31
Speaker 3: to lock up rioters and protesters who took to the
16:35
Speaker 3: streets earlier this month to protest immigration and asylum seeker policies.
16:40
Speaker 4: Among those to be thrown.
16:42
Speaker 3: In prison is fifty one year old Gary Harkness, who
16:46
Speaker 3: was given a twelve month sentence for his role in
16:50
Speaker 3: these riots, and with even the judge acknowledging he did
16:53
Speaker 3: not behave violently. The judge said, I quote here, it
16:57
Speaker 3: cannot be leveled at you that you hit, neither have
17:01
Speaker 3: you thrown anything. Neither is it said that you spat
17:04
Speaker 3: at anybody. But it is accepted by you that you
17:08
Speaker 3: were a party to this disorder and I have to
17:11
Speaker 3: sentence you on that basis.
17:13
Speaker 4: And you also know that anyone party.
17:15
Speaker 3: To it has to receive a custodial sentence. So we're having,
17:19
Speaker 3: essentially Darren here.
17:21
Speaker 4: Bystanders Center prison.
17:26
Speaker 3: Astonishing that this is happening, and the speed with which
17:29
Speaker 3: it's happening.
17:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, I couldn't agree more ETA, and that's actually very,
17:34
Speaker 12: very troubling. This is all to create a chilling effect
17:38
Speaker 12: on speech and debate, if you ask me, the revenge
17:42
Speaker 12: seeking that's undertaken of late actually creates a chilling effect
17:46
Speaker 12: on being able to discuss the issues that take place
17:49
Speaker 12: on our streets, you know, the stabbings that take place
17:52
Speaker 12: on an all too regular basis. We've had something like
17:55
Speaker 12: twenty six over the last few weeks.
17:57
Speaker 1: You know.
17:58
Speaker 12: It is an incredible number, and it's an incredibly damning
18:01
Speaker 12: indictment on the state of the country. And the fact
18:04
Speaker 12: that politicians would rather focus on banging up those who
18:08
Speaker 12: were stood as bystanders in these periods of unrest that
18:14
Speaker 12: have taken place over recent weeks. I think goes to
18:16
Speaker 12: the very heart of the problem. I think this is
18:20
Speaker 12: revenge seeking. I think that it is an attempt to
18:23
Speaker 12: scare and intimidate people into not speaking out, not and
18:27
Speaker 12: it will.
18:27
Speaker 3: Dire It will will I can see it having exactly
18:32
Speaker 3: that effect, because they're also locking up people for online posts.
18:36
Speaker 4: Dan Grimes, thank you so much for your time this evening.
18:39
Speaker 12: Always a pleasure to thank you.
18:41
Speaker 3: Coming up, the lefties are losing it and Army Howids.
18:53
Speaker 4: Welcome back.
18:54
Speaker 3: Now it's time for lefties losing it, and I regret
18:57
Speaker 3: to inform you I found more raygun Conent, more terrible
19:01
Speaker 3: dancing to expose later in the segment. But first, it's
19:04
Speaker 3: always funny when lefties laugh at other lefties. And that's
19:08
Speaker 3: just what happened on the Stephen Colbert Show when CNN
19:11
Speaker 3: anchor Caitlyn Collins appeared as a guest to talk about Trump.
19:15
Speaker 3: What else when Colbert made this ridiculous comment, he.
19:20
Speaker 13: Knew his attack lines on President Biden. He really has
19:23
Speaker 13: struggled with how to go after someone who's twenty years
19:26
Speaker 13: younger than him, who is a different gender, a different race.
19:30
Speaker 13: It's kind of been this moment where he has not
19:33
Speaker 13: been able to call us around a single attack line.
19:36
Speaker 5: I know you guys are objective over there, that you
19:38
Speaker 5: just report the news as it is.
19:41
Speaker 1: Oh, I know a CNN makes it, and I know
19:43
Speaker 1: that that's supposed to be a live life.
19:44
Speaker 5: I wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is.
19:48
Speaker 4: I guess it is.
19:49
Speaker 3: Of course, the biggest laugh st HIV and Gott was
19:52
Speaker 3: unintentional there, but even his left the audience recognized how
19:57
Speaker 3: hopelessly biased cnny's This is an audience that watches this.
20:02
Speaker 5: Yesterday, a Reuter's IPSOS poll had Vice President Kamala Harris
20:06
Speaker 5: leading former President Donald Trump forty four to forty two.
20:12
Speaker 3: It's oh, looks like it could take on Ossie breakdance
20:23
Speaker 3: a ray gun with those moves. But look, I'm just
20:26
Speaker 3: happy old Steve O smiling and dancing again because he
20:30
Speaker 3: was in a dark place not long ago.
20:32
Speaker 4: Remember this, mad Rant. I know how numb we've become,
20:37
Speaker 4: but it's not normal.
20:38
Speaker 5: No other candidate for the president's he has ever had
20:41
Speaker 5: to pause his campaign to.
20:42
Speaker 1: Defend himself in multiple courts. And I would like to point.
20:44
Speaker 5: Out that in all seven of his cases, no one,
20:47
Speaker 5: no one doubts that he did these things. We're just
20:50
Speaker 5: sitting around patiently waiting to find out if the wheels
20:52
Speaker 5: of justice will grind fast enough for there to be
20:54
Speaker 5: any consequences.
20:56
Speaker 3: Imagine how unhinged his little echo chamber must be. Newly
21:00
Speaker 3: believes the sham cases against Donald Trump are legitimate. You know,
21:04
Speaker 3: there's a reason why his poll numbers went up every
21:06
Speaker 3: time he was indicted. Even being convicted didn't hurt him
21:10
Speaker 3: with most voters. And that's because, despite the efforts of
21:13
Speaker 3: CNN and CO, most folks can recognize political persecution when.
21:18
Speaker 4: They see it.
21:19
Speaker 3: And on CNN they really did disgrace themselves overnight with
21:23
Speaker 3: deliberate disinfo after Donald Trump's two hour chat with Elon Musk. Indeed,
21:28
Speaker 3: the bulk of the media has been in full propaganda
21:31
Speaker 3: mode about the interview. They've been calling it a big flop,
21:35
Speaker 3: But the numbers tell another story. Despite technical issues that
21:39
Speaker 3: delayed the start, tens of millions and by some metrics,
21:42
Speaker 3: hundreds of millions have already listened to part or all
21:46
Speaker 3: of the Trump Musk interview.
21:48
Speaker 4: But this is how CNN described it, with.
21:51
Speaker 14: Forty minutes of silence and then a real apocalypse of politics.
21:55
Speaker 14: No matter how you frame it or what causes which
21:58
Speaker 14: what was finally said between Donald Trump and Elon Musk
22:00
Speaker 14: at last night's A Big X event can largely be
22:03
Speaker 14: defined as a rant filled with familiar lies and lines
22:06
Speaker 14: of attack.
22:07
Speaker 3: Familiar lies and lines of attack? Is she describing his
22:11
Speaker 3: scene in colleagues?
22:12
Speaker 4: There and scene and we're at it again?
22:14
Speaker 3: With this shameless bit of fake news. This is astonishingly dissimist.
22:20
Speaker 15: I want to play one exchange that was kind of classic. Well,
22:24
Speaker 15: there were a lot of changes that were exchanges that
22:26
Speaker 15: were classic Donald Trump, but this one really stuck out
22:28
Speaker 15: to us.
22:31
Speaker 16: And Nasaki were bombed, but now they're like full cities again,
22:34
Speaker 16: so it's likely not something that you know, it's not
22:39
Speaker 16: as scary as people think, basically, So that.
22:42
Speaker 15: Was more Elon Musk than Donald Trump talking about sort
22:47
Speaker 15: of suggesting that what happened almost eighty years ago, I
22:51
Speaker 15: think eighty years ago next year, the bombing of Hiroshiama Nagasaki.
22:56
Speaker 15: Now it's okay, kind of trying to blow off the
22:59
Speaker 15: impact of that, But.
23:01
Speaker 4: That was not what they were talking about at all.
23:04
Speaker 3: And CNN has deceptively edited that clip and not even
23:08
Speaker 3: mentioned that the discussion was actually about nuclear energy and
23:13
Speaker 3: why it has a bad name because of nuclear bombs.
23:16
Speaker 3: Trump mentioned nuclear energy needs a rebrand. The unedited chat
23:21
Speaker 3: CNN cut up was over two minutes.
23:24
Speaker 4: Here's a little bit of it unedited.
23:26
Speaker 17: There's the bad side of nuclear which is a nuclear war,
23:29
Speaker 17: very bad side, but there's also I think nuclear electricity
23:34
Speaker 17: designer READI and it's actually you know, people have the
23:37
Speaker 17: sphere of nuclear nuclear electricity generation, but it's actually one
23:42
Speaker 17: of the safest forms of electricity generation.
23:45
Speaker 16: It's just a huge misunderstanding.
23:47
Speaker 3: If you listen to the whole discussion, you see they
23:50
Speaker 3: weren't saying nuclear bombs and destruction were no big deal,
23:53
Speaker 3: as CNN would have you believe. Let's go to the
23:57
Speaker 3: UK now, where people are being locked up for so
24:00
Speaker 3: called online violence. We can't tell you precisely what most
24:04
Speaker 3: of them have posted online, but here's a judge sentencing
24:08
Speaker 3: one young man to twenty months in prison.
24:11
Speaker 18: You have been committed for sentence having pleaded guilty to
24:15
Speaker 18: an offense of publishing written material which is threatening, abusive,
24:22
Speaker 18: or insulting, intending thereby to stir up racial hatred. This
24:28
Speaker 18: offense is so serious that an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable.
24:36
Speaker 3: Threatening, abusive, or insulting The first one should come with
24:41
Speaker 3: criminal consequences.
24:42
Speaker 4: You can't threaten.
24:43
Speaker 3: People, But since when is insulting commentary something you can
24:47
Speaker 3: be chucked in jail for, other than in places like
24:50
Speaker 3: China or North Korea, and now the UK. It's the
24:54
Speaker 3: same country, incidentally, where someone involved in a machete attack
24:58
Speaker 3: that killed a child and walk away from prison after
25:01
Speaker 3: just six months. Now let's have a look at woke
25:06
Speaker 3: academic and breakdancer Regan, the woman who scored zero for
25:11
Speaker 3: all her dances of the Paris Games.
25:13
Speaker 4: But we're told she's the best.
25:16
Speaker 3: Female breakdancer in Australia and to say otherwise is sexist trolling.
25:21
Speaker 3: Here's the Australia's Olympic committees and e mears.
25:25
Speaker 19: With trolls and keyboard warriors and taking those comments and
25:28
Speaker 19: giving them airtime has been really disappointing. If you don't
25:33
Speaker 19: know Rachel's story. In two thousand and eight, she was
25:36
Speaker 19: locked in a room crying being involved in a male
25:40
Speaker 19: dominated sport as the only woman, and it took great
25:44
Speaker 19: courage for her to continue on and fight for her
25:48
Speaker 19: opportunity to participate in a sport that she loved and
25:52
Speaker 19: that got her to winning the Olympic qualifying event to
25:56
Speaker 19: be here in Paris. She is the best breakdancer female
26:00
Speaker 19: that we have for Australia.
26:01
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if she's even the best breakdancer in
26:04
Speaker 3: her family, but let's hear from the woman herself.
26:07
Speaker 20: I could be representing Australia. It would be an amazing
26:10
Speaker 20: opportunity and just something I never thought would happen.
26:14
Speaker 9: But Rachel is even more excited for the next generation
26:17
Speaker 9: of Bee boys and Bee girls.
26:19
Speaker 20: Already there's a lot more family support for people to
26:22
Speaker 20: get in Breaking, because I know people of my generation
26:25
Speaker 20: and earlier, you know, their families were generally like, what
26:28
Speaker 20: are you doing? Why are you wasting your time with this?
26:31
Speaker 3: You should listen to your family. Indeed, listen to anyone
26:34
Speaker 3: telling you not to do this.
26:37
Speaker 4: Listen to those people, please.
26:39
Speaker 3: But Reygan has always had supreme confidence in her abilities.
26:44
Speaker 4: Just ask it.
26:45
Speaker 21: I think my understanding of musicality going into Breaking was
26:49
Speaker 21: very strong. My body awareness, my coordination, my eye for
26:55
Speaker 21: technique has been much stronger going into the dance.
26:59
Speaker 3: And you can under stand why she may be a
27:01
Speaker 3: tad delusional because she kept getting plaudits and awards despite
27:06
Speaker 3: having no discernible dancing ability of sports.
27:12
Speaker 19: Rachel Gun, thank you so much.
27:16
Speaker 21: I think it is just so cool that a Breaker
27:19
Speaker 21: has one sports Star of.
27:20
Speaker 3: The Year, and sadly copyright issues mean we can't bring
27:24
Speaker 3: you her Olympic performance.
27:26
Speaker 4: But we can all enjoy some of her other stellar work.
27:30
Speaker 8: Much.
27:44
Speaker 4: Wow, I have to chair for qualify for the Games.
27:48
Speaker 4: I mean, look at that.
27:50
Speaker 3: You know what, maybe we can blame her coach Samuel
27:54
Speaker 3: Free aka Sammy the Free, who is also her husband
27:58
Speaker 3: and a fellow check out these moves. I think we
28:02
Speaker 3: know where some of that choreography came from.
28:05
Speaker 4: Goodness me.
28:06
Speaker 3: But don't you dare mock any of that because Australian
28:10
Speaker 3: Sports Commission CEO Kieren Perkins.
28:13
Speaker 4: Will call you a keyboard warrior, and all.
28:16
Speaker 9: Of the commentary in the dialogue that's gone on, you know,
28:19
Speaker 9: all the keyboard worries and haters out of there, get
28:21
Speaker 9: back in your box. We are Australia. We are Australian.
28:24
Speaker 9: To have one of our athletes so proud to wear
28:26
Speaker 9: our uniform and then to bring what's unique about us
28:29
Speaker 9: to the international stage. We should all be proud. It
28:33
Speaker 9: was an awesome event. It was a great display of
28:36
Speaker 9: different thinking. And you know, I'm a huge ray Gun fan.
28:40
Speaker 9: She has made us.
28:41
Speaker 3: All proud, made you proud, Kieren made the rest of
28:44
Speaker 3: us laugh.
28:45
Speaker 4: Fancy trying to.
28:45
Speaker 3: Bully Australians into not having a laugh over something so
28:49
Speaker 3: obviously absurd.
28:51
Speaker 4: Give it a spell and talking about having a laugh.
28:54
Speaker 3: Jimmy Fallon wasn't letting this comedy gold go to waste.
29:07
Speaker 22: Wow Regag's.
29:12
Speaker 4: Wow, Rega everyone.
29:14
Speaker 15: It's.
29:16
Speaker 13: Oh no, Rega, thank you stuff.
29:21
Speaker 4: I had to act.
29:24
Speaker 2: I had to ask you this.
29:25
Speaker 3: How are you feeling since your performance?
29:29
Speaker 21: I was like, oh no, no, don't understand, don't burry.
29:34
Speaker 17: Up, hey, Regaga, get red.
29:36
Speaker 10: Thank you Oga, Regan.
29:37
Speaker 1: I see, I see you.
29:39
Speaker 23: You speak, you speak through your dance moods.
29:41
Speaker 2: I understand.
29:42
Speaker 10: Okay, So is there anything else you'd like to tell
29:44
Speaker 10: us me?
29:47
Speaker 4: I meant you now.
29:49
Speaker 3: The Washington Examiner has revealed that Kamala Harris's VP picked
29:53
Speaker 3: Tim Walls, called a Muslim cleric who promoted a pro
29:56
Speaker 3: Hitler film a master teacher, and admitted they spend time
30:00
Speaker 3: together in the past. In addition to spreading anti Semitic,
30:04
Speaker 3: neo Nazi materials online, Ima Masad Zaman also shared a
30:09
Speaker 3: her mass press release back in twenty sixteen, and has
30:11
Speaker 3: shared many anti Israel posts since the October seventh attacks.
30:16
Speaker 4: In a statement to see, an Anna.
30:18
Speaker 3: Harris campaign spokesperson insisted that Walls and Zaman do not
30:22
Speaker 3: have a personal relationship, but here is Walls in twenty
30:26
Speaker 3: eighteen clearly saying they do and calling.
30:30
Speaker 4: The Imam a master teacher.
30:33
Speaker 23: I would like to first of all say thank you too, Imam.
30:38
Speaker 2: I am a teacher.
30:39
Speaker 23: So when I see a master teacher, I know it.
30:42
Speaker 23: And over the time we've spent together, one of the things,
30:48
Speaker 23: one of the things I've had the privilege of is
30:51
Speaker 23: seeing the things in life through the eye of a
30:53
Speaker 23: master teacher to try and get the understanding. Listening today
30:57
Speaker 23: to the stories and what it means.
30:58
Speaker 3: Joining me now is journalists and documentary filmmaker Army Horowitz.
31:02
Speaker 3: Army how well did the Kamala Harris camp Vet Tim Wolves?
31:09
Speaker 24: Yeah, I'm sorry, we gotta go back to that Reygun
31:11
Speaker 24: thing for a second. I'm sorry I was laughing at
31:13
Speaker 24: that entire segment. First of all, Rachel Dratch absolutely hilarious.
31:17
Speaker 24: She's in Manhattan Upper West Sider to represent bringing the comedy.
31:21
Speaker 24: But look, I'm of two minds. This is more important
31:24
Speaker 24: than Tim Walls. I'm two minds. That comes a breakdancing,
31:27
Speaker 24: big breakdancing fan. I was taught by the comedian Sindbad.
31:30
Speaker 2: I'm embarrassed.
31:31
Speaker 24: I went to a breakdancing class when I was a kid,
31:34
Speaker 24: So I've allowed.
31:34
Speaker 4: To respect for it.
31:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's.
31:37
Speaker 1: Horrible, it's embarrassing. Truth is the truth.
31:40
Speaker 2: Should it be Olympic sport?
31:42
Speaker 1: Uh?
31:43
Speaker 2: If I'm really good at.
31:44
Speaker 24: It, my guess is no, it should not be Olympic sports. Sorry, guys,
31:49
Speaker 24: just the way I feel. Okay, back to Tim Waltz
31:52
Speaker 24: and neo Nazis and anti Semitic, anti Israel activists. Look,
31:58
Speaker 24: did she vet him and then this was surprising? Yes,
32:02
Speaker 24: was surprising. No, Look, this just represents what Kamala Harris
32:08
Speaker 24: truly feels.
32:09
Speaker 1: Right.
32:09
Speaker 24: I think this is going to come out more and
32:11
Speaker 24: more as she becomes her own person. We're gonna realize
32:14
Speaker 24: that she actually finally speaks to the media, if that's
32:17
Speaker 24: even possible, will realize what kind of anti Israel radical
32:21
Speaker 24: she really is. So this really comforts with that. Did
32:25
Speaker 24: he not have a personal relationship, I'm sorry.
32:28
Speaker 4: He hosts this.
32:28
Speaker 24: Guy five times. Of course he did. Becalled him master Teacher.
32:33
Speaker 24: He spent a lot of time this guy. He knows
32:36
Speaker 24: exactly well this guy represents. It's sick and it's disgusting.
32:40
Speaker 24: But this is just a preview of what we can
32:44
Speaker 24: expect the Kabala campaign when comes to Jews and it
32:48
Speaker 24: comes to Israel. Look, there's a woman named Lasweena Bargazi
32:51
Speaker 24: who she just hired as her deputy counselor. The sween
32:54
Speaker 24: has a long history of anti Israel, anti American comment
33:00
Speaker 24: She was interviewed with the FBI because of her comments
33:03
Speaker 24: about nine to eleven. She wore an orange jumpsuit in
33:08
Speaker 24: solidarity with al Qaeda terrorists sitting.
33:11
Speaker 2: In our jails.
33:12
Speaker 24: This she has a long history of anti Israel, anti
33:16
Speaker 24: American positions, yet she is now in the Kamala administration.
33:21
Speaker 24: Kamala is hired what they call a Jewish liaison, Elon Goldberg.
33:26
Speaker 24: This is a guy who's a j Street anti Israel radical, right,
33:30
Speaker 24: This is guy who came out in full throat support
33:33
Speaker 24: of the anti Israel, the anti Israel you had resolution
33:38
Speaker 24: that Obama while he just abstained, he was actually guy
33:41
Speaker 24: who wrote it. So yeah, this is all a preview
33:44
Speaker 24: of what we're going to see with Kamal President Kamala
33:48
Speaker 24: Harris if it actually happens. So no, I'm not surprised
33:50
Speaker 24: at all.
33:52
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, may can you just imagine what the Middle
33:55
Speaker 3: East is going to look like after four years of
33:57
Speaker 3: Kamala perhaps right now, yesterday on Elon Musk's at livestream
34:02
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump, Trump spoke about the manner in which
34:05
Speaker 3: the Biden administration has mishandled Iran and destabilized the Middle East.
34:12
Speaker 22: Iran was broke because they told China, if you buy
34:15
Speaker 22: from Iran oil, it's all about the oil, that's where
34:17
Speaker 22: the money is. But if you buy oil from Iran,
34:21
Speaker 22: you're not going to do any business with the United States.
34:24
Speaker 22: And I meant it, and they said we'll passed it.
34:27
Speaker 22: They didn't buy other countries Likewise, you want to buy,
34:30
Speaker 22: you're not doing business with the United States Army.
34:33
Speaker 3: The Biden administration's eagerness to revive the Iran deal has
34:38
Speaker 3: emboldened and enriched the Iranian regime.
34:42
Speaker 24: Yeah, look, is it surprising that what do you think
34:48
Speaker 24: Iran's position visa via election when they tried to hack
34:52
Speaker 24: or they did hack Trump's paperwork, they tried to assassinate
34:57
Speaker 24: Trump then to go after Biden or Kama they want
35:02
Speaker 24: them to be president. Right, that says everything about the
35:05
Speaker 24: positions that these two take vis a vis Iran. Right,
35:10
Speaker 24: Why do they hate Trump? I don't know. Let's see
35:13
Speaker 24: Trump assassay Sulamani, one of their military leaders right, one
35:16
Speaker 24: of their terrorists, supporting military people who went directly after
35:22
Speaker 24: US interests and Israel's Israeli interests. He killed the Iran Deal,
35:27
Speaker 24: which was the ability to give them the ability to
35:30
Speaker 24: help build nuclear weapons. He increased sanctions, didn't give them
35:33
Speaker 24: loads of cash like the Obama Biden administration, increased economic
35:40
Speaker 24: pressure on the country. Like this is why we can
35:44
Speaker 24: see what's going on when it comes to Biden and Iran,
35:48
Speaker 24: Trump and Iran, and I think what peop will be
35:50
Speaker 24: Kamala and Iran. And also let's not forget just you know,
35:53
Speaker 24: by the way that after Iran sent over three hundred
35:57
Speaker 24: missiles and drones, one of the great attacks on Israeli's
36:01
Speaker 24: sovereignty and territory of all time, what did President Biden do?
36:06
Speaker 24: He said to Israel, you better not react this, otherwise
36:10
Speaker 24: you will lose my support. Can you imagine a President
36:14
Speaker 24: Trump said at Israel, I don't think I can, and
36:16
Speaker 24: he wouldn't. Yeah, that's why he Ron wants Trump to
36:20
Speaker 24: lose and Biden and come on to be president. That
36:23
Speaker 24: says a lot about the election. Foreign policy to.
36:25
Speaker 3: Be absolutely and Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln is apparently
36:32
Speaker 3: delayed his trip to the Middle East due to uncertainty
36:35
Speaker 3: in the region, But the expectation is that once he
36:38
Speaker 3: does arrive, he's going to be putting more pressure on
36:43
Speaker 3: Israel to make concessions to her mass to do a deal.
36:47
Speaker 3: Blincoln will be in Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Katar to
36:52
Speaker 3: discuss with partners the need to reach a ceasefire agreement
36:56
Speaker 3: that secures the release of all Hostages's statement from the
37:01
Speaker 3: State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller army, how should Israel respond
37:06
Speaker 3: to this renewed pressure to make concessions and do a deal?
37:13
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, if Israel didn't respond to pressure in
37:15
Speaker 24: the past, a deal would have been done and Hamas
37:19
Speaker 24: will still be in power, sending rockets and missiles into
37:23
Speaker 24: Israel on a daily basis and probably grabbing more hostages.
37:27
Speaker 24: Because all you're doing is incentivizing bad behavior, right, I mean,
37:32
Speaker 24: this is look macro micro behavior. Very similar when you
37:35
Speaker 24: teach a kid that it can get away with an inch,
37:38
Speaker 24: that kids can take a mile. The same thing goes
37:40
Speaker 24: with terrorist organizations, and unfortunately that's the situation that they're
37:44
Speaker 24: trying to put Israel in. And frankly, look, I think again,
37:48
Speaker 24: to go back to Kamala and how she would respond
37:50
Speaker 24: this kind of behavior, and how she would respond to Israel.
37:54
Speaker 1: Look, she was.
37:54
Speaker 24: Giving a speech recently and the chance of genocide, Joe
38:00
Speaker 24: raising up from the audience, and her response was not, Hey, guys,
38:05
Speaker 24: this is ridiculous, this is a moral shut the hell up.
38:09
Speaker 24: She said, Look, if you want Trump elected, then that's
38:12
Speaker 24: what you got to continue this chance. That's the way
38:14
Speaker 24: she handled it. That's the way she's going to handle
38:17
Speaker 24: Israel and Kamas going forward.
38:19
Speaker 2: Be prepared.
38:21
Speaker 4: Appeasement. Yes. And two Hunter Biden.
38:24
Speaker 3: We've got newly released records and interviews revealing that Hunter
38:28
Speaker 3: Biden sought assistance from the US government for the Ukrainian
38:32
Speaker 3: gas company Barisma, who were eyeing up a potentially lucrative
38:37
Speaker 3: energy project in Italy. This is while Joe Biden was
38:42
Speaker 3: Vice President. A White House spokesperson has said Joe Biden
38:46
Speaker 3: was not aware when he was VP that his son
38:48
Speaker 3: was reaching out to the US embassy in Italy.
38:51
Speaker 4: Really, how believable is that? Firstly, are me and how.
38:55
Speaker 3: Rich for the New York Times to be running this
38:57
Speaker 3: story prominently When I were among the media, you suppressed
39:02
Speaker 3: the Hunter Biden laptop story when it really mattered, and then.
39:06
Speaker 4: Lead up to the twenty twenty election.
39:10
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna miss all the Hunter Biden's
39:13
Speaker 24: stories and talking about it.
39:14
Speaker 2: That's gone.
39:15
Speaker 24: I gotta be honest. I mean, you know, it was
39:17
Speaker 24: a big part of what we were doing.
39:18
Speaker 1: What we were doing.
39:20
Speaker 16: Look, there's of.
39:22
Speaker 24: Course this massive hypocrisy when the New York Times and
39:25
Speaker 24: the rest of the mainstream media suppressed all of these
39:28
Speaker 24: problems and issues when Joe Biden was president, and the
39:31
Speaker 24: more they brought it up, the more they realized it
39:33
Speaker 24: was suppressed electoral possibilities, so they kept quiet about it.
39:37
Speaker 24: But now that Joe Biden is no longer running for president,
39:40
Speaker 24: hey we might as well tell the truth and talk
39:43
Speaker 24: about the reality of what's going on. So now you're
39:45
Speaker 24: seeing these stories come out because Kamala is running and
39:47
Speaker 24: not Joe Biden. It's gross, it's transparent, it's obvious. I
39:52
Speaker 24: can't believe. Look, if I were them, I was just
39:54
Speaker 24: going to just ride on that wagon of saying, hey,
39:57
Speaker 24: let's just suppress it, leave it or alone. Why bring
39:59
Speaker 24: up now? Just high I let your hypocrisy and your
40:01
Speaker 24: failure to live up to your responsibilities before. But hey,
40:04
Speaker 24: you know what, I guess, better late than ever, right.
40:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, better late than never. Army Horowitz, thank you for
40:13
Speaker 3: your time.
40:13
Speaker 4: This evening always your pleasure.
40:16
Speaker 3: Still to come, I'll be joined by an appalled breakdancing
40:20
Speaker 3: expert who'll explain where it all went wrong for ray Gun.
40:34
Speaker 4: You're watching the reader Panicky show. Now. A petition has.
40:37
Speaker 3: Launched online calling for breakdancer Rachel Gunn better known as
40:42
Speaker 3: ray Gun, as well as Australia's Olympic committees and emirs,
40:46
Speaker 3: to publicly apologize for ray Gun's awful Olympic performance and
40:51
Speaker 3: also they want an investigation into how and why she
40:54
Speaker 3: made it onto the Olympic team.
40:56
Speaker 4: Joining me now is Adam B.
40:58
Speaker 3: Coleman, founder of Wrong Speak Publishing and also an avid
41:03
Speaker 3: breakdancing fan. Now, you have written about this issue, you
41:07
Speaker 3: know your stuff, and you've insisted that the academic class
41:12
Speaker 3: defending Raygun's performance because she's a symbol of their bubble world.
41:18
Speaker 4: What do you mean by that?
41:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bubble world of academia.
41:24
Speaker 25: What often happens is they try to cover for each
41:27
Speaker 25: other and they see that she has a status of
41:29
Speaker 25: having a PhD in some form of dance culture. And
41:35
Speaker 25: so for them, they'll do anything to cover for them.
41:39
Speaker 25: They'll applaud her for her efforts when the Olympics is
41:43
Speaker 25: not about giving it your best effort.
41:45
Speaker 2: It's about winning. It's about the best of the best.
41:47
Speaker 25: There's meritocracy involved, and from what I can tell, there's
41:52
Speaker 25: a level of It doesn't feel like meritocracy looking at
41:57
Speaker 25: the qualifiers that led for her to end up there.
42:00
Speaker 25: I was just watching it just before we started filming,
42:03
Speaker 25: and clearly the person she was going up against was
42:06
Speaker 25: better in those last three rounds, and it doesn't make
42:10
Speaker 25: any sense to me objectively as to why she was
42:13
Speaker 25: chosen over someone who was literally half her age, more skilled,
42:19
Speaker 25: has more athleticism than her. You know, for one particular round,
42:24
Speaker 25: Rachel didn't even get off the ground. She was physically
42:27
Speaker 25: doing floor work. She didn't do anything acrobatic, nothing whatsoever.
42:32
Speaker 25: She wasn't nearly as creative. I will say her qualifying
42:36
Speaker 25: wasn't nearly as bad as her Olympic performance, but that's
42:40
Speaker 25: not a very high bar.
42:44
Speaker 7: Well.
42:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a sense of entitlement, it seems, and
42:49
Speaker 3: I don't know if that is because of her academic background,
42:53
Speaker 3: but you did write that she can't PhD her way
42:57
Speaker 3: into being a supremely athletic. And you also note that
43:02
Speaker 3: internationally breakdancing or breaking is highly competitive. It's athletic, it's creative.
43:09
Speaker 3: People have to have enormous skill. So again, how did
43:13
Speaker 3: she qualify? You said you've looked at some of those
43:15
Speaker 3: qualifiers where her opponents seem to be better. Is it
43:20
Speaker 3: so subjective that you know these sort of results can
43:24
Speaker 3: happen or would most people who are into their breakdancing
43:28
Speaker 3: watching that competition or agree with you that her competitor
43:33
Speaker 3: should have made the team.
43:37
Speaker 25: I think anyone who is apparently not a judge of
43:40
Speaker 25: that competition would come away with the same conclusion as
43:43
Speaker 25: me that Reagun is not better than Holy Marley, who
43:48
Speaker 25: she was competing against. Objectively speaking, Holly Mally is quicker,
43:55
Speaker 25: she is younger, and she's more acrobatic than Reagun is.
44:00
Speaker 25: And if I can put this in a very like
44:02
Speaker 25: Leyman's way, someone who is just getting into breakdancing can
44:06
Speaker 25: only do certain moves, the easier moves. Regan looks like
44:11
Speaker 25: she's been she's basically an amateur, whereas Olimali looks like
44:17
Speaker 25: she is someone young but clearly more naturally talented than
44:22
Speaker 25: regun Is, So it doesn't make a whole lot of
44:26
Speaker 25: sense to me.
44:26
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's some sort of collusion or.
44:29
Speaker 25: Any corruption behind the scenes or anything like that, but
44:34
Speaker 25: I'm still dumbfounded by what I just watched.
44:39
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not suggesting there's been anything corrupt, just perhaps
44:43
Speaker 3: some bizarre decisions made along the way. Now we've learned
44:48
Speaker 3: that Reygun is coached by her husband, who is also
44:52
Speaker 3: a breaker. I think we've got some footage of his moves.
44:56
Speaker 3: I think he's had a bit to do with some
44:58
Speaker 3: of the choreography we saw in Paris.
45:01
Speaker 4: What do you think of his dance moves? Could this
45:04
Speaker 4: be the problem that she need a bet of coach, perhaps.
45:11
Speaker 25: Not necessarily that you know, there are moves that she
45:14
Speaker 25: is capable of doing, but there are certain things that
45:18
Speaker 25: you just clearly can and cannot do. You know, not
45:20
Speaker 25: every person who wants to be a gymnast can be
45:22
Speaker 25: a gymnast. There's a certain amount of strength you have
45:25
Speaker 25: to have, there's a certain amount of skill that you
45:27
Speaker 25: have to have that is natural, or you have to
45:29
Speaker 25: put an abundant amount of time to overcome where you lack.
45:34
Speaker 25: I just don't think by her age to do the
45:37
Speaker 25: type of things that she's doing. You know, she's basically
45:41
Speaker 25: at a geriatric stage of any breakdancer, and most of
45:46
Speaker 25: them last basically into their mid thirties competing wise, and
45:52
Speaker 25: maybe the top ones, especially the males, they can go
45:56
Speaker 25: a little bit longer. But for her, for her to
46:00
Speaker 25: go as far as she did with her skill level
46:04
Speaker 25: or lack of skill, is truly amazing to see.
46:10
Speaker 3: Well, we are getting a lot of pressure here from
46:13
Speaker 3: the media, from members of the sporting fraternity saying that
46:18
Speaker 3: you cannot be critical of her or her performance because
46:23
Speaker 3: she gave it a red hot go. But you wrote
46:26
Speaker 3: it your piece that people are mocking her because of
46:30
Speaker 3: her audacity to believe that she deserves to be considered
46:34
Speaker 3: one of the best female dancers in the world, and
46:37
Speaker 3: her performance was astoundingly bad. Again I'm quoting you there.
46:45
Speaker 3: Do we have participations? Trophy is at Olympic level? Is
46:49
Speaker 3: this what we're basically talking about. Was saying, well, you know,
46:52
Speaker 3: she's older than the other dancers, she's perhaps not as
46:56
Speaker 3: experience in actual dancing. She might be experiences and writing
47:00
Speaker 3: academic papers about dancing. Is this a participation trophy at
47:05
Speaker 3: Olympic level.
47:08
Speaker 25: Yeah, and part of me thinks this is a little
47:11
Speaker 25: bit of licking the wounds for Australia, you know, because
47:14
Speaker 25: it is embarrassing to see.
47:15
Speaker 2: So I think the reaction is to say, well, at
47:18
Speaker 2: least she gave it a go.
47:19
Speaker 7: You know.
47:20
Speaker 25: Listen, Australia is not known for its break dancing. You know,
47:23
Speaker 25: you hear those type of excuses, But the reality is,
47:26
Speaker 25: we wouldn't do this for any other sport, especially in
47:30
Speaker 25: Olympic sport. We wouldn't make these type of excuses. The
47:34
Speaker 25: reality is that she's not nearly as good as her competition.
47:40
Speaker 25: And listen, when it comes to the Olympics or any
47:42
Speaker 25: sporting event, someone's going to come in last place.
47:45
Speaker 2: So it's not about her coming into.
47:46
Speaker 25: Last place, but it's what she did and how she
47:49
Speaker 25: represented herself in her capabilities while competing. And like I
47:54
Speaker 25: was saying before her qualifying round, you know, to make
47:58
Speaker 25: it into the Olympics was actually better than what she
48:01
Speaker 25: performed at the Olympics. So and I don't even think
48:04
Speaker 25: it was nerves. I think she was trying to be
48:07
Speaker 25: overly creative because she knew she's not as skilled as
48:11
Speaker 25: the other dancers, but by trying to be so creative
48:15
Speaker 25: without the skill makes you look very goofy, and break
48:19
Speaker 25: dancing it just completely falls apart. You know, there's creativity
48:23
Speaker 25: is very important break dancing, but you have to follow
48:25
Speaker 25: it up with something else.
48:26
Speaker 3: I think that's the word, Adam, goofy. I think goofy
48:29
Speaker 3: sums it up beautifully, Adam Bee Coleman, thank you so
48:32
Speaker 3: much for your time.
48:33
Speaker 4: This evening, and that's it from May.
48:36
Speaker 3: Up next is news, not I'll see you at eleven tomorrow,
48:39
Speaker 3: not with Douglas Murray.
