Also tonight, Melbourne's youth crime crisis 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.800 devastates more innocent lives. 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:29.080 The latest from the. 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.440 US with Josh Hammer, who will expose the Democrats propaganda arm. 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.720 And later in the hour, I will speak to a brave. 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.400 Woman making her Sky News debut, a woman who was. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.919 Sold a dangerous lie and lived as a. 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.760 Transman for many years and of course left. He's losing 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:51.080 it Tonight, featuring some of Kamala Harris's biggest fans. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.960 I'm a trans man and I'm gay, and I have 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.320 been pregnant and I've had an abortion before and I 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:58.160 don't want to lose that. 0:00:58.640 --> 0:00:59.960 Joining me now is new. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.600 He is called senior writer Patrick Carline and media writer 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.080 for the Australian newspaper Sophie Ellsworth. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.440 Team will be getting to. 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.240 The Trump Musk Chat shortly that has shook up the 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.800 online world. But let's start with former Speaker of the 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:21.280 House Nancy Pelosi calling out former Australian Prime Minister Paul 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:26.240 Keating for his comments about Taiwan sitting on Chinese real estate. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.040 That's what Paul Keating said. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.880 And Nancy Pelosi did not hold back, calling the former 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.880 Labor Prime minister stupid and ridiculous. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.000 Well, you don't want to get my description of him 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.679 for saying that that's ridiculous. It is not Chinese real estate, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:48.560 and he should know that Taiwan is Taiwan and it's 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.720 of the people of Taiwan who have a democracy there. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.520 I think that was a stupid statement with or I 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.600 have no idea about Keating, but I think it was 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.360 a stupid statement to me. And I don't know what 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.440 his connection is to China that he would say such 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:09.080 a thing, But it is really not in the security 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:13.000 interest of the Asian Pacific region for people to talk 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:13.440 that way. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:14.160 Patrick. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:19.120 She used the words ridiculous stupid twice and also questioned 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.600 Paul Keating's connection to China. That is going to I'm 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.840 sure get a response from Porl Keating at some point. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.440 Absolutely. Look, I think it's firstly, it's a pity that 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.480 she wasn't nice about Malcolm Turnbul because she might have 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.320 said the same things. But in talking about Taiwan, I mean, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.880 she's right. It's a democracy, it's about freedom, it's facing 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.280 the imperial fist if you like, of China. It's a 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.960 very important hot spot in the world. And Paul Keating 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.920 I think, compared Taiwan to Tasmania, which was described as baffling, 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.600 and it was China is not our friend. It's a 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.600 mutually beneficial sort of ally if you like. They don't 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.720 have the same values. And you have to agree with 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.160 Pelosi on this one, I think. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.360 I think you do. Not too often I agree with her, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.280 But Sophie. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:09.040 Paul Keating still has this I don't know, reputation in 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.799 this country where he is seen as this leading light 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:17.920 in labor, this intellectual whose words are listen to very carefully, 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.680 and not too often do you have someone from the 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.280 left lay the boots in like she just did. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.760 Well, that's right, Reta. It's the left eating the left here. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.480 And I think Paul Keating is doing himself for disservice 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.000 because he seems to be commenting on a lot of 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.559 issues of late. He's constantly popping up in the media, 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.560 putting his two cents out there. He's becoming, you know, 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.600 like these former prime ministers that cannot move on and 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.200 very bitter and this is showing through and it doesn't 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.920 help him when someone of Nancy Pelosi's you know, she's 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.280 known all around the world attacks him. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.440 Well, yes, he should try to be more like Tony 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.840 Abbott and Julia Gillard as opposed to Kevin Right and 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.640 Malcolm Turnbull. Though Kevin is behaving himself given he's got 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.080 that diplomatic posting, but we'll see how long that lasts. Now, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:12.800 let's talk about the Greens. They've called for sanctions to 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.840 be leveled against the Israeli government, including Prime Minister Benjamin 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.919 nettan Yahoo, and they want the Albahey government to expel 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:25.000 Israel's ambassador to Australia, Emir Maimon Wa. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.360 Senator for Tima Payman, who in. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:31.240 July quit the Labor Party did vote with the Greens, 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:35.240 but the Coalition and Labor combined today to defeat this 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.920 motion in the Australian Parliament. This is astonishing, Patrick, they 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.920 want to expel the Israeli ambassador. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.560 They're talking about. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.480 Sanctions against the only democracy in the Middle East, our 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.320 greatest ally in the region. I mean, this is nutty stuff, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.080 even by the Green standards. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.279 Absolutely. Look, they've been grand standing on this since October seven. Basically, 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.400 I think it verges into antisemitism at times. They call 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.400 the Israeli government extremists, but they're not talking about Hamas 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.440 who happened to sort of go on massacre fourteen or 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.159 thirteen hundred innocent Jewish people. It's about getting votes in 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.640 the marginal electorates. They want to take votes off the 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.280 alp there. It's sort of dressed up in this high 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.680 minded sort of morality, but it's all about it's very 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.760 basic sort of politic of the worst kind, and it 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.880 does fan the flames of extremism, and we've seen enough 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.840 of that already on the streets in the protests. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.760 Yeah, I think it's very opportunistic by the Greens that 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.600 see opportunity here and they're going after they know they 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.159 can wedge labor who are desperate to appease segments of 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.200 their supporter base. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:43.960 Now, let's talk about that. 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.159 Wide ranging interview that happened earlier today between Elon Mask 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:54.040 and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. All sorts of serious matters, 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:58.920 discussed energy, security, inflation, national security, but there was an 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.719 unexpected life At a moment they were discussing the miraculous 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:08.080 manner in which Trump survived that assassination attempt, and he 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.960 says illegal immigration saved his life. 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.120 And I mean, speaking of the sort of slide that 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.279 got you to turn that save your life? Really, where's 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:25.680 the illegal immigration slade? Maybe maybe we're talking about about that. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:30.760 It was it was. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:34.800 The illegal immigrations dave my life an exact angle. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:36.760 I mean, that's that's a great. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.760 One, Sophia. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:43.120 Of course he turned his head at that last millisecond 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.479 to look at a slide that had illegal immigration figures 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.400 on it, and that's saved his life. I mean, it's 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:54.479 incredible to think about. What did you make of that chat? 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.400 It went for some time, a lot of issues were 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.000 covered and an enormous audience reached. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.080 That's right, Rita. 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.160 And obviously they had the technical issues initially, but then 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.680 they recovered from that. It's quite a lengthy interview. I've 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.160 heard large segments of it. Look, I thought it was 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.120 pretty interesting. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.600 This is obviously a very good. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.360 Platform to Trump, for Trump to get his messaging out there. 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.920 We know that X is, I would argue, a left 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:28.520 leaning social media platform. It's important that he voices his 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.560 views across all platforms. Il On Musk has given him 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.400 that platform, and we know he was also back on 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.560 Twitter himself or X today posting after what a one 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.040 year hiatus, So. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.680 I think longer than that. Yeah, I don't think he's 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.080 been there since. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.560 Twenty twenty maybe right, Well, it's certainly sometime since he's 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.280 been posting. So the fact that he's back on there 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.320 this shows that I think he'll be using this platform 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.679 a lot in the lead up to the presidential race. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.760 What do you make of Trump being back on Twitter 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.840 or X as it's now called. He's created his own 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.000 social media platform that we're told is now worth billions, 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:15.400 but Twitter or X is where the bulk of the audiences, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.600 and I think if you're running for presidents, you really 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:18.920 should make an appearance. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.600 Absolutely. Look, I think he offered Elon Musk a place 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.200 in his administration during the two hours it went for 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.440 two hours. It's a long time to ask somebody to 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.440 watch something. It was basically a stump speech almost he 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.720 just talked about the Iron Dome. I mean, he's just 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.920 going to make it protect America with an iron dome 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:37.319 like that. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.120 You know what, that sounds kind of crazy when you 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.720 look at the size of the country. Yes, but and 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.200 also because you know, you don't expect Canada to be 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:47.000 trying to. 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:47.760 Nuke the joint. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.559 But a lot of Americans would go, we're paying for 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.280 this sort of security elsewhere in the world, why don't 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:56.120 we also have it? 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.520 It would I think it's it would be weirdly popular. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.240 Regardless, I'm sure it's popular, But I think I think 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.040 for Trump, I mean, look, it's important he gets his 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.320 message out. Now, I don't think it really matters so 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.080 much what he does and doesn't say, because Americans worked 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.079 out a long time ago that the content of Donald 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.520 Trump isn't particularly important. That's what he represents. So and 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.120 he wants to get you know, he wants to be 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.120 back in the in the gaze again. And on Karmala 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.679 Harris has stolen some of the gays last two weeks. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.520 Absolutely, and I think there's a start contrast here having 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.920 a two hour chat when Kamala. 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.720 Is refusing to do interview, that's a good point. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.960 She's only talking from prepared statements on an autoque. So yeah, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.640 It just shows that contrast. Now let's go back to 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.720 local news and warning, my next story maybe distressing to 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:47.560 some viewers. Melbourne's youth crime crisis is spiraling further out 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:53.200 of control. Teenagers are filming themselves slicing up rivals with machetes, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.400 there are all some reports. In one video uploaded to 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.560 a page documenting Melbourne's youth gang wars, three young men 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.880 armed with machetes are seen plowing their weapons into the 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:08.120 body of an unarmed rival, who copped nearly a dozen 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.959 slashes and stab wounds as he laid defenseless on the ground. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.720 In another case, the dead body of a teenager who 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.199 was fatally stabbed in a gang knife attack was recorded. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.040 In the recording, you can hear one voice saying he's 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.200 dead and another one saying he's not breathing. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:29.160 Ah. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:34.560 This is just so disturbing, Sophie. Innocent lives are being lost, 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:40.120 families are being devastated, and this goes across several areas. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.559 The justice system, the policing, the. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.760 Effort to increase the age of criminal responsibility. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.320 Well, that's right, Rachel, and we know that's being discussed today. 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.640 And now they've moved away from that to implement their 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.000 lifting the age to fourteen. But we have a youth 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.200 crime crisis in Victoria, only in Victoria. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.280 But in other parts of the country. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.920 Queensland's obviously been very vocal about it as well, and 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.960 when people try and dismiss it, or political leaders try 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:13.360 and talk it down, people can see through that. We're 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.360 hearing the real stories, as we say in the media, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.400 these horror stories and reta. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:19.560 It's frightening for people. 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.319 You don't want to be living in your own home. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:25.839 Living in fear Patrick really touches people from all sorts 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.240 of backgrounds. It's not confined to one or two crime 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.120 prone suburbs. It's in the affluent areas, it's in the 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.640 lower socioeconomic areas. And you've got people who are no 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.960 involvement in youth gangs that sort of world being caught 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.400 up in it and losing their lives. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.200 Well, you had an eighteen year old the other day 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.040 he died. He was a motorcyclist, kids in a stolen 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.520 car allegedly, I should point out, plowed into him. There 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.040 was another one about four weeks ago, twenty eight year 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.840 old describing waiting to turn right he got plowed into 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.760 and killed it can affect everybody, and it is actually scary. 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.240 There's a hardcore group group of about two hundred years 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.400 according to the police, and they're. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:08.079 Gaming the system. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.840 They're getting caught, they're getting bailed, and they're going out 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.440 and doing it again, and they're getting bailed for the 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.360 seventh or eighth or ninth time. And people are in 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.160 danger because of this system. The system is actually letting 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.040 down Melbourne as we speak. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.640 Oh absolutely, And I think that is one of the 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.240 biggest frustrations, the ease with which these kids get bail 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:32.319 and some of these offenses allegedly occurring by people who 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.880 are out on bail. Patrick Carl and Sophie Elsworth, thank 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.400 you so much for your time this evening. Joining me 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.680 now is digital editor for skynews dot com dot Au 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.600 and host of the media show nine pm Fridays, right 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:46.840 before Lift is Losing It. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.559 Jack Horton, Welcome to the program. Now. 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:54.439 You wrote a fantastic piece yesterday on the ray Gun Fueral. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.120 Your headlines set at all. I read Big Girl ray 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.120 Gun's academic work on coloe structures in breaking so you 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.920 don't have to, and somehow it is worse than her dancing. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:07.400 I've also had. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.400 A look at her work, her academic work on Sesslar 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:15.720 colonial structures that rely upon radicalized and gendered hierarchies. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.600 Tell me, what are our taxes funding here? 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:20.880 Yeah? 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.800 Well, it's a really good point. The dancing. Let's put 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.560 it to one side, because the dancing was absurd all 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.319 on its own. But then when you look into this person, 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:33.400 she has forged a career for herself at Macquarie University. 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.319 It's actually just down the road from where we are 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.400 at Sydney, a university which gets about two hundred and 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.960 forty million dollars a year in grants, heavily subsidized. Everything 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.680 they do is subsidized by the taxpayer. You've got a 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.720 person who has forged this very niche career in breaking 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.839 in breakdancing, and she's trying to tie it to colonial structures. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:14:01.280 Everything's about racialized theory. Everything's americanized, the spelling americanized because 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.160 they need to try and publish in these americanized journals, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.920 and so everything has to be about critical race theory. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:13.520 And she somehow managed to tie breakdancing to colonial structures, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:19.360 to being institutionalized, to racism and written a paper about it. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.640 I actually think it's absurd. I think that no university 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.480 which is serious, and this is a very big problem 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.960 in modern academia. That I would argue is it's across 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.080 not just this area, but it seems to proliferate through 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:36.640 all these other bizarre courses where people are forging their careers. Now, 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.320 I don't think the taxpayer should fund any of this, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.320 So putting the dancing to one side. You know, whether 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.040 or not she should have been allowed to go on 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.480 the trip, whether we should have paid for all expense 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.000 paid trip to Paris, put all that to one side. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.920 Here is a person who has forged a career, turning 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.560 the most ridiculous ideas into some kind of scholastic pursuit. 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.000 Well, we're not allowed to show her Olympic performance beyond 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.320 those steals we showed, but let's have a look at 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:15.960 the stella dancing that saw her qualify for the games. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:29.960 Dear God, again, my question is how I've seen clips 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:35.040 of her dancing in different events and it doesn't get 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:38.720 any better, Jack, I mean, how did she qualify for 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.200 the Olympic team? How was she in Paris? Never mind 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.240 who's paying for it? And yes, the taxpayer is paying 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:44.840 for that trip. 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:47.880 How was she our representative. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.080 It's actually a really good point. Now I've gone deep 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.760 into this, right, and I think there is another scandal 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.440 here that everybody's missed. The woman who was dancing competing 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.640 alongside her and that clip. It's a woman called Holly. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.400 Molly is her name. You can look her up on Instagram. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.440 You take a look at some of her clips. And 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:10.040 this person, actually, this young woman, she's a very young woman, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.560 has a lot of skill. And I have no idea 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.320 why we decided to send the thirty six year old 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.720 academic or how the judges thought that her performance was 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.400 better in this situation. Look, I'm no expert on breakdancing. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.320 I don't plan to be, I don't want to be. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:31.000 But just objectively looking at the skill level athleticism, this 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.320 Rachel gunn Ray gun. She can barely move, I mean 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.120 to be swinging her arms around doing the sprinkler and 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.920 then the kangaroo thing. I mean to me, it looked 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:46.680 as if she had choreographed some kind of act intentionally 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.480 to get headlines. It's all these Australian colloquialisms. It was 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.880 the most cliche kind of oh you know, gadet mate, 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.040 kind of dancing act. It seemed like a stuff computed. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.640 Yeah, was none of it was executed well, even if 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.880 the ideas were kind of interesting, you could say. And 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:11.040 it was so bad that people genuinely believed that it 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.919 was some sort of an elaborate joke that they couldn't 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:17.080 believe it could actually be that bad. But let's hear 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:22.320 from the woman herself. She was on the project talking 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:23.480 about her art. 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:27.320 I think my understanding of musicality going into breaking was 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.879 very strong. My body awareness, my coordination, my eye for 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.640 technique has been much stronger going into the. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:40.320 Dance, and all of that was missing during those performances 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.600 and everything else I've seen now Jack, there are so 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.919 many online who are now doing spoofs of regard. She 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:54.240 really has become an international phenomenon. Adele's mentioned her on stage, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:59.560 Every publication from NBC to BBC is reporting on her. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.000 The world is going to think Australians can't dance. I mean, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.800 that's what I'm worried about, because they're all making fun 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:08.560 of us. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.800 Who could blame? I do not believe. First, can I 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:15.880 just say that anybody uses the word musicality in an 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.120 interview and then talking about their skill in the way. 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.159 I mean, she's got tickets on herself. She genuinely thinks 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.920 that she is all there, that she's a great breakdancer. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.600 I mean, for me, it honestly isn't even about the dancing. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.679 It's the fact that it's the academic work. It's the 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:37.600 fact that you've got somebody saying sportification musicality, and you're 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:41.520 putting this into work to try and convince people that 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.280 your work is worth being funded and it's worth being studied. 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:49.439 This person is a teacher. They're shaping the minds of 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.840 the next generation of leaders. But I don't know how 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.760 many leaders are going to be studying dance theory. To 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.760 be fair in her defense, but this is not a 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.199 serious person. If you're going to go up there and 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.480 say that you skill in breakdancing as judio musicality, it's absurd. 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.879 And I do not believe that this was the best 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.320 that Australia had to offer. Call me cynical, but I 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.480 don't understand how she managed to win that qualification round. 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.080 And I watched it, it did not seem like a 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:16.159 fair competition to me. 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.080 Well, there's a conspiracy theory of sorts emerging as to 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:27.520 why the performance was so awful Summer, claiming she aimed 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:28.160 to get. 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.959 Zero points for every performance. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.000 And it was a part of her academic studies. Professor 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:38.919 Meghan Davis, one of the chief advocates of the Voice 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:43.879 referendum the Voice to Parliament, She took to social media 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:47.920 to slam the Olympis, saying getting zero points on purpose 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:52.119 in three rounds for an academic study subsidized by the 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.800 tax payer, both at a university and Olympic level, isn't 0:19:55.840 --> 0:20:00.840 funny and isn't having a go. It's disrespectful to other competitors. 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:05.880 I'm glad most Aussie's aren't buying the kool aid now. 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:06.240 Jack. 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.760 She had her trip obviously to Paris paid foot by taxpayers, 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.840 but I don't see how she's going to get any 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:16.000 extra money for her academic work by getting zeros. So 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.480 I'm not on board with that theory at all, but 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.439 it must be noted. The Daily Telegraph reports that the 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:27.040 City of Sydney Council also gave Reygun a twenty thousand 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.160 dollars grant back in twenty twenty two to research spaces 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.480 for street dance. So I guess there is some taxpayer 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.879 dollars to be had in this area. I'll give you 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.720 the final word. Will we see more of Raygan and 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.040 in what capacity? Because she's possibly one of the most 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.119 famous Australians in the world right now? 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.879 Yeah, I agree completely. I don't think she intentionally tanked 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:54.680 it for any kind of fame. I think that is 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.600 a conspiracy theory and I don't see how that would 0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.560 be advantageous. But I do think we're going to see 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.919 more of her if you read her academic work. She 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:04.119 writes about herself, and that's the point I made in 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.520 the article. These academics turn supposedly independent research into self 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:09.560 promotional blogs. 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:10.360 We've run out of. 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.720 Time, Jack Harden, thank you so much for your insights 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:14.280 this evening. 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:16.280 Appreciate it, Thanks for having me reader. 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.040 Still to come, Lefties Losing It and Josh Hammer exposes 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.240 the Democrats propaganda art. 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:33.280 Welcome back. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.520 Now it's time for Lefties Losing It, and I think 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:40.080 we should start with one about regular contributors to this segment. 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:44.520 She's the MVP of Lefties Losing It MSNBC's Joy Read 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.560 and here's She expresses surprise that Kamala Harris didn't pick 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:53.000 Mark Kelly as her VP because he's so white. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:55.480 And I thought she would go astronaut keeping it real. 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.120 He to me, would have been the safest, most conventionally 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:03.640 safe pick uh waight uh super weight like you. 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.920 Know Maynise Sandwich on Wonderbred Weight. 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:10.000 Can you imagine a news anchor describing a black dude 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.439 with that sort of language. You'd be off air in 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:17.120 a millisecond. Now, let's check in on some Kamala fanboys 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:19.720 and girls. Why are they backing a woman who was 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.439 five minutes ago called a political liability but is now some. 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:24.760 Sort of a savior. 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.119 Let's hear from some of her biggest fans, starting with 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.800 this young lass who identifies as a transman that got 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.560 pregnant and had an abortion. 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:35.879 Why are y'all voting for Kamla Harris. 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.240
