From the August 1, 2024, edition of Fox News' The Ingraham Angle

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): These are the logical results of the DEI crusade. It's the inclusion part of DEI. And it played out at the Olympics in Paris yesterday when Imane Khelif of Algeria was allowed to compete against a female Italian boxer, boxer Angela Carini.

Now Khelif had been disqualified from last year's world championship after a test apparently showed that she had an xy chromosome, but claims to have always been a female. Well, the IOC undoubtedly under huge pressure from the DEI lobby allowed Khelif to compete. And after 46 seconds in the ring with Khelif, Carini, after getting smashed square in the jaw with a fierce blow, turned her back to her opponent and signaled that she couldn't go on.

She said, “I'm heartbroken telling reporters afterward, I went on, I went to the ring to honor my father. I was told a lot of times that I was a warrior, but I preferred to stop from my health. I’ve never felt a punch like this.” Now whatever the biological truth is here, this is the world that Kamala Harris wants our girls to have to compete in where women and girls who train for their entire lives for a chance for victory are never sure if the playing field or in this case, the ring, is biologically even.

And ironically, today is the day the new Biden-Harris Title IX rule goes into effect. And that allows biological males into girls bathrooms. Yeah. We don't need to guess about this. We know this is how Kamala Harris will fight for girls if she's elected president by forcing boys and men into girls and women's spaces. So what could possibly go wrong her? These people are demonic. Now to the extent that Harris thinks for herself at all, I'm not sure that she does, she's just an extremist, which is why her instinct will always be to kowtow to the DEI LGBTQ+ lobby.

[...]

Because, for them, "Girl power" includes the sick celebration of confused girls lopping off their breasts in record numbers, destroying their ability to have children before the even mature sexually, and on the flip side, young, disillusioned, desperate young men unable to find success and meaning in their own lives declare themselves transgender and are celebrated when they beat women or girls in sports.

Yeah, celebrated, honored on the cover of magazines for stealing deserved medals and deserved glory in every sport imaginable. Eventually, a young girl will be killed because of this fanaticism. Fanaticism of politicians like Kamala Harris. Now, we've already seen scenes like this in volleyball. When a trans athlete spiked a ball so hard in an opposing high school player, she ended up being severely injured.

STUDENT: About 2 years ago, my senior year of high school, I was severely injured in a high school volleyball game by a boy on the opposing team. The hit was so severe, it caused me to lay unconscious for about 30 seconds while my body was in a fencing position, which is how your body reacts to a brain injury. 

INGRAHAM: Yeah. Watch that video. That'll make your stomach churn. And just like the Americans brutalized by the border invasion, injuries like hers, they're simply ignored or written off by Harris and her ilk as collateral damage in the struggle for the higher calling of pursuing DEI by any means necessary.

But I have news for her. You don't qualify as a champion of girls and women because you want abortion on demand in all 50 states. You qualify as a champion of girls and women if you actually stand up for girls and women who are already here, and they're working hard, and they're ready to compete for the gold and bronze and silver, and that's the angle.

Joining me now is Colby Covington, UFC welterweight fighter, and Chad Robichaux, former UFC fighter and marine. Chad, let's start with you. Why would the Olympic Committee allow this fight to happen?

CHAD ROBICHAUX (GUEST): There is no reason they should allow this to happen. The fighter is x-y chromosome. He's a man. He has the punching power of a man. And to put him in there with women is just not only unfair, but absolutely dangerous.

I could not imagine spending your entire life, when I started training at 5 years old, spending your entire life to make it to the pinnacle of my sport, to represent my sport. And you make it to the Olympics, you have to fight a man.

I couldn't imagine what these girls are facing. And to have it stolen away as you said, and face the dangers of that. This is inclusivity, this is a man, x y chromosome man with the punching power of a man beating up a woman And Laura, I've never punched, I've never hit a woman. I've never had the desire to fight a woman, but I certainly would fight a man that thinks he's a woman and wants to beat up one other woman. And I think a lot of men would. I'm sure Colby would as well. I'll fight that guy.

INGRAHAM: Well, she didn't wanna shake the hand of Khelif. No. Identifies as a woman, always says a woman. I'll know, the passport has says woman on it. But the International Boxing Association, Colby, again, previously barred Khelif from competition. Now here's what their CEO had to say about Khelif competing in the Olympics. Watch this. 

[...]

INGRAHAM: Colby, how do you see this playing out? I mean, do we need to start new leagues to protect women here? I mean, this is embarrassing. And where's Biden and Harris on all of this? They should be speaking out, the big champions of women and girls that they claim to be.

COLBY COVINGTON (GUEST): Yeah, it’s strange that the Biden-Harris campaign hasn’t came out and condemned this yet. It just shows that they stand for that. You know? Trump came out right away and said that he would put a ban to this, that no men would be able to compete in women's sports.

So this is disgusting, Laura. That's unethical and it's outright dangerous. The Olympic Committee and USA Boxing push for this agenda. They should bear the weight of the responsibility for their disgusting behavior, turning a prestigious world stage like the Olympics into a circus sideshow for woke points. When is this ever gonna be enough?

Do we have to see a woman get killed? Because I don't wanna see it. 

INGRAHAM: Well, Chad, I made that statement in the angle because, you know, I was a former athlete in college and high school. I took sports very seriously. Something really, really tragic is gonna happen. There's already been injuries as we said with that volleyball player. I know other people have cataloged other injuries competing against, male, biologically male athletes.

I'm very worried about this. But, you know, democrats are wedded to this DEI agenda. They don't seem worried at all. It's equity. It's inclusion. 

ROBICHAUX: Yeah. Like I said earlier, this is not inclusion. I know Colby has some great women on his team where he trains, and I've coached and trained with some amazing female athletes, some of the best female athletes in the world.

And even at that level, at the pinnacle of the sport, as a professional UFC fighter, these girls, I mean, they just do not have the same punching power as a man, as xy chromosome man, and that's not as a hit on them.

That's just biologically that way, and and and their skulls are different, and that is, that their bone density is different. And so you're asking not just to take away their medals and everything they work for.

You're asking for the disaster, and one of these women will get killed. Today, we've seen the Italian boxer say she had never been hit that hard before, because she was hit by a man. Full force, not scoring in competition.

INGRAHAM: Well, I'm no expert here, Colby, but that video, the speed of that punch. That’s man-speed. That’s fast. I’m not an expert. You're looking at the video. That's hard. 

COVINGTON: It's powerful, you know, and these committees, you know, they're supposed to protect the fighters. I'm not allowed to fight with elevated levels of testosterone as a man in the UFC, and neither are the women Dana White employs in the UFC. We're under strict drug testing because elevated levels of testosterone provide an unfair advantage and puts clean athletes in danger. This is a combat sport. We're not playing a kid's game for points. We're putting to take that person's conscious and potentially, you know, affect them for the rest of their life. 

INGRAHAM: I want to play this quick sound bite from the IOC spokesperson person. I want Chad to respond. Let's watch. 

[...]

Chad, the bad old days of sex testing. I don't know what that he's referring to. But Yeah. He said I guess he's saying anti science. 

ROBICHAUX: Yeah. I don't agree. I guess he said that's anti-science. Yeah. I don't agree with that. I mean, there's xx and there's x y chromosome. Xx is a female, x y is a male, and, and a male has has unfair advantage over a female, especially at the same weight class, in the same sport, with the same level of training, they're going to get someone killed.
