BREITBART TALKS WITH SIMON KENT 6/17/26

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:10

And joining us is Breitbart reporter Simon Kent. Are you in London?

SPEAKER_00 0:17

I'm just outside of London, but yes, I'm certainly on this side of the pond. I can assure you of that.

SPEAKER_01 0:22

All right. Very good. Well, thank you so much for joining us on the show. One of the things that I saw that you wrote about on Breitbart was about this the FBI thwarting the attack that was going to happen that was being planned on the UFC America 250 event that happened on the White it at the White House. We have gotten more information about that and and uh it was really an unbelievable plan. Bring us up to date on what what was being planned there.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

Well, it it seems at the moment that they had five suspects initially, but the investigation has broadened subsequently. And it you must say it was excellent work by the FBI to to to um work their way into this group in a private chat, um, track them down, find out who was involved, and um successfully round them all up and make their arrests before they had a chance to even begin to implement the implement their plan. Though um the detainees obviously face charges now and they're gonna be ongoing court cases and that sort of thing. But as I said, that's a wonderful tribute to the FBI for the work they did and what they achieved. Well done.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

Now, I know they initially arrested 15, and now they're saying there's like a uh uh 18 total.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

23.

SPEAKER_01 1:38

Oh, 23.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

Up to twenty twenty-three is the latest number, yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:42

Okay. And so what I what I heard was that they were planning to send in drones over the crowd, drop explosives, causing everyone to run away and be be shot by um by uh snipers on the way out, and then they were going to storm the White House. Um can you give us any more insight on that?

SPEAKER_00 2:03

These are the allegations. These are the allegations. Of course, nothing has been tested in court under oath yet, but it looks like it was a terror assault that was being planned, and the target apparently was to target capitalist elites and billionaires or politicians who received donations from um uh different organizations. And and these will be tested in court, but if successful, it would have been uh an absolutely horrific outcome that was foiled. And uh we're gonna hear more in court, believe me, when the uh when they all get up to testify.

SPEAKER_01 2:33

Now we heard that the mother of uh one of these people that have been arrested was the one, and he was only 19. Um she was the one that saw like certain things happening, buying of cer certain weapons, a lot of overhearing of conversations. She dropped a dime to local police. They contacted the FBI. This is a a case book uh a textbook case of what should happen. That mother is a hero for doing that. Um and the thing is is that we heard that it involved maybe TikTok and signal chats. Is that accurate?

SPEAKER_00 3:08

Those those are some of the allegations. Certainly uh TikTok was one of those that was named, but the mother clearly did the right thing by alerting authorities and they acted and acted swiftly and infiltrated the channels and were able to see what was being planned, see what was going on, actions have consequences, and then they moved and made the arrests.

SPEAKER_01 3:26

It's unbelievable. I uh you know, just after watching the UFC and just seeing the amount of people there, I mean, it was crossing all of our minds like, is this really safe? You know? Um and then to hear about something like this, this would have been so deadly.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

Horrific. Horrific, absolutely uh horrific. Um and as I've said twice before, I I think the FBI should be applauded for its work, a case book job and a case book outcome.

SPEAKER_01 3:57

Absolutely. Okay, now from your perspective, um being in London, now I heard you were uh born in Australia.

SPEAKER_00 4:05

That is correct. I was born down under in Sydney, Australia.

SPEAKER_01 4:08

Okay, so what has been um what are some of the the things that you think we should know about uh what's going on there? Because we were hearing um one of your articles is talking about thinning the herd of wild horses. Uh we've heard of this type of thing in the past, uh, that wild horses could be an issue for, I guess, landowners and governments. So explain what's happening.

SPEAKER_00 4:35

Well, what is happening in Australia are wild horses called a Brumby, and there's a big national park, Mount Kosyosko National Park south of Sydney. And these wild animals, these wild horses roam the um the national park. And there's a call now, and it's going to start this week, of rounding up the animals and shooting them from helicopter gunships in the belief that they're going to therefore protect indigenous plants. Those are the words that are used by the uh authorities who are going ahead with this. And they fly around in helicopters, track the wild horses called rumbies, and shoot them, which is um a pretty terrifying way to destroy an animal, and I think by anyone, any measure uh uh grossly inhumane, but this is going ahead, and and um apparently there's not just the wild horses, there's sperm donkeys, pigs, uh wild buffalo, would you believe, which are an introduced species, all of them will be hunted by helicopters, shot from the air and left to die.

SPEAKER_01 5:26

How many animals are we talking about?

SPEAKER_00 5:30

Uh well the the wild horse population, it's an estimated, uh it's a very wide estimation between six and ten thousand animals, but they want to cull them down to around three thousand by the middle of next year. Uh that is the plan. Um, but it has been called completely by Barrack by Barrack Life critics. And there's an online um site where people can register and sign up to make public their displeasure. It has 220,000 signatures already, where people are saying, Stop, let's think about this. There must be another way to do it. It's fundamentally flawed methodology, and the outcome really um I I think is based on exaggerated numbers and figures.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

Would there be any sort of plan to harvest these animals at all for food or that's a very good question.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

You would have thought that might be the way to go. Um, but the at the moment there doesn't seem to be. This is challenged in New South Wales as a state, and the New South Wales state uh government uh was challenged, it went to court, and the government won the court case, and that's why they're going to go ahead and uh and proceed. It doesn't seem to be anything stopping it now, except public opinion. And uh as a personal uh opinion, yes, wild horses can cause damage, but this by any measure does not seem to be a humane way of going about um uh d doing it. There must be other ways.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

Has anybody discussed, and I I don't know why they they don't do this if for anything. They say, oh, you have to have hunting to cull the herd, you know, keep things in check. But isn't there a a better way to do it, like I don't know, birth control sterilization darts or something like that?

SPEAKER_00 7:06

Exactly. That is one of the measures that has been put forward, and certainly hunting might be another way to do it, might be more humane, but shooting animals from a helicopter, a fast flying helicopter with marksmen in the helicopter, and then being left to die sometimes up to a week or ten days, um, is a pretty gruesome end for what is a wild animal.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

Mm-hmm. I I you know, people see horses like they see dogs, you know. I mean it's uh correct. Yeah, uh but even if it's a wild horse, uh it's still, you know, it's hard to s to accept that. So do you think what do you think will happen? What what is you what what is your favorite?

SPEAKER_00 7:42

It looks like at the moment it it looks like it's gonna go ahead. Um and and these retention laws, as they're called, um, they're gonna go ahead. And um the horses have been in Australia since the settlers first went to Australia, but Kosyosko National Park is a big national park, as I said, south of Sydney near the um the snowy Kosyosko, Mount Kosyosko, and it is gonna go ahead and they're seen as an invasive species, and therefore as an invasive species, they're open to culling and they're open to being slaughtered.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

Do you feel that there will be some sort of you know, physical you know, we've heard of Yeah, well I mean we've heard of people, you know, chaining themselves to to uh trees and all that, but that may well happen at the moment.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

People are are content to go and uh and sign petitions calling for this not to go ahead. I think you're quite right the next step will be people to take action. Yeah. And there's enough motivated people in that part of Australia to go down to Kosyosko National Park and um and try and perhaps round up the horses themselves, put them in trucks and trailers and take them elsewhere. That could very well happen.

SPEAKER_01 8:45

Yeah. And that's a very hard thing to do with a feral horse. Correct. Um and the thing is is like, you know, we were able to, as a society, get the 2,000 Beagles released from that research f facility. The final 500 now have been removed from there.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

Wonderful achievement.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Yeah, and that was a big deal because they were being used for research during the Fauci years, and um, you know, people intervened and they did illegal things to break in there to save these dogs.

SPEAKER_00 9:16

So Well, that is a good benchmark and and something to look at perhaps for the people in Australia to say, well, if they can do that with these beagles that were being held, surely there is a way to do something just as humane with these brumbies as they they do what horses do in the wild, which is Rome. And they do that in in their in their herds. Yeah. Yeah. Quite right.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

Yeah. Okay. Um, what else did you want to talk about? Uh one of the other articles uh that you wrote about, and we had heard about Iran participating in FIFA. How is that how is that working out?

SPEAKER_00 9:48

Well, uh uh Iran the the the Iran, the the coach is very upset that they're basically Mexico flying up for their for their um tournament games and and they feel the Iranians feel very hard done by you. See, they're he their feelings are hurt because no one is really cheering them and and they're being put on the plane as soon as they play and flown back to Mexico, the poor things. And they they really they're hurting and they don't know why no one in I know exactly they know don't want they want to know why no one in America is really cheering for them. But don't forget this soccer team represents the current Islamic uh dictatorship regime in Tehran and they support it. And um America quite rightly has control of its borders. It says who can arrive, who can stay, and the manner in which it's done. And America says, Well, yes, uh FIFA, you can bring your Iranian team, but they will not be staying in America and they'll be flying back to Mexico. And a lot of people are fans of the pre-revolution era era of Iran, and a lot of them are going with their flags of the pre-revolutionary flags and flying the flags, and that is getting Iran upset again because they don't want to see those flags because they're not representative of the, as I said, of the Islamic dictatorship now in Iran, in in Tehran, so that is causing problems as well. So it all seems to be um a FIFA is caught in the middle and doesn't really quite know what to do, which is should be a surprise to no one.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

And what's interesting is um for someone who kind of follows things uh along those lines, there's a very, very rich, abundant Persian culture in LA. There is. And they're very successful people that have escaped, you know, when the revolution happened. I mean, in the 70s, I mean, their families have just reaped the rewards of being American.

SPEAKER_00 11:29

And they've flourished, and they've flourished and they've blossomed, and that's why they're taking the pre-revolution flags along to say quite fairly that America is a vigorous democracy, and they're going to state their case saying uh we support Iran as it was, not as it now, and they support Iran before um you had Islamic dictatorship, and and they're there in their in their thousands, uh making their voices heard, again, much to to uh Feet's angst and bringing its hands and a bit dewy eyed about it all, but there's nothing they can do about it because America is a free country.

SPEAKER_01 11:58

Uh speaking of America, we're speaking with Simon Kentis in right outside of London, born in Australia, but you have a great article on Breitbart.com regarding an upcoming concert on the Fourth of July. Tell us a little bit about this uh fundraising concert.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Well, it's a it's it's a it's a fundraising concert, as we know, which has been America quite rightly celebrating its 250th birthday. And so there have been lots of plans for concerts, and there's not been lots of plans for um celebrations, and this is one that's been set down that's gonna feature smashing pumpkins. Um they're gonna headline the America 250 4th of July benefit concert, and that is set down in in for LA. And it's gonna be a big show, a big celebration, and uh I think it's gonna be a very, very big night out. There'll be far worse too, of course, but it's basically a concert at a celebration that will be hosted by uh Queen Matifa.

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Yeah, I heard Chris Stapleton is going to be there in LA and uh smashing pumpkins. But being from South Carolina, about two hours away, Charleston will also be celebrating with this uh as part of it's gonna be like simultaneous block parties, almost like New Year's Eve does, you know.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

Um it is a bit like that, but I'm I'm pretty sure America's got a lot to celebrate. All of America will be celebrating on the 4th of July July, looking at the country as it is, and what a wonderful, wonderful country that um the world should be celebrating. And I know America will be. I mean, there's gonna be parties in New York City and Milwaukee and Charleston, as you say, South Carolina, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Parties everywhere and big outdoor events um celebrating with music and fun and fireworks.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

And I also read in your article there's a uh website called Vet Ticks, V-E-T-T-I-X. Tickets are available. Yeah, free program for those who have served or who are serving to uh get into these live events, huh?

SPEAKER_00 13:51

That's gonna honor their service. There's gonna be 5,000 complimentary tickets that are gonna be donated to first responders, veterans, active duty service members, uh people who are gonna be rightfully applauded and acclaimed, and their tickets will be free.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

All right, I'm gonna share that uh website on our Facebook page for anybody listening. But are you involved at all in the Breitbart Fight Club?

SPEAKER_00 14:14

Um I haven't been as yet, but I'm still um perhaps my invitation is in the mail. I think maybe that will happen one day. All right, so I'm I'm eagerly waiting, I'm looking at my post box.

SPEAKER_01 14:23

All right, well, we'll follow you on Breitbart.com. Thank you so much for joining us.

SPEAKER_00 14:29
