Can the West ever truly confront the radical ideologies festering within its own borders? Join us as we tackle this controversial question head-on. We examine the unsettling case of the New Year's Eve attack in New Orleans that underscores the growing threat of domestic radicalization. We dissect the reluctance of authorities, government and media to label such acts as terrorism and express our collective frustration at the silence and complacency that seem to pervade Western societies.
00:00:02.105 --> 00:00:13.112 It's another sad day here, folks at the Rant Network, because once again we're dealing with terror and once again we're dealing with the absolute, unnecessary radicalization.
00:00:13.112 --> 00:00:19.492 It's amazing, but unfortunately not surprising.
00:00:19.492 --> 00:00:22.185 Welcome back to the Rant Network, everybody.
00:00:22.185 --> 00:00:23.089 I'm David Solomon.
00:00:23.089 --> 00:00:27.411 My co-host, stuart Briscoe, is still away on his well-deserved vacation.
00:00:27.411 --> 00:00:38.969 We are the Rant Network, so get ready as we deal with this unedited, unfiltered, uncensored conversations that cover everything from the latest news, pop culture to politics and the quirks of modern life.
00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:49.310 This is a rollercoaster, folks, of rants, honest opinions, pardon me, and diverse perspectives that will make you think, laugh and, today, shout in anger.
00:00:49.310 --> 00:00:55.515 Sit back and relax, folks, as we join and we explore the absurdities and deeper issues of modern life and society.
00:00:55.515 --> 00:01:05.260 Let's get back into the network, folks, where your voice really and truly matters.
00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:08.706 Well, unfortunately, new Year's Eve was really supposed to be about.
00:01:08.706 --> 00:01:19.646 If you were in the United States and Canada watching the ball fall at Times Square, bring in 2025, quarter century over, the start, of Generation, beta, all these things.
00:01:19.646 --> 00:01:22.649 A little bit of optimism, positivity, you name it.
00:01:22.649 --> 00:01:27.834 Well, unfortunately, it didn't matter to one.
00:01:27.834 --> 00:01:38.614 Shamsuddin Jabbar, see, his idea of New Year's Eve was kill, terror, attack.
00:01:38.614 --> 00:01:52.602 That was what you do to someone who's become a radical, that's right, radical, a term I used on Wednesday when I said radical Islam.
00:01:52.602 --> 00:02:04.066 Not all Muslims, not all people are radicalized, but he was, you see, shamsuddin Jabbar.
00:02:04.066 --> 00:02:15.372 While we were waiting to hear more about his background and whatever, what was first told was he's an American, born and raised in Houston, texas.
00:02:15.372 --> 00:02:18.028 So, shock of shock, he's an American.
00:02:18.028 --> 00:02:23.651 And then it starts to leak out a little bit of his Muslim faith.
00:02:23.651 --> 00:02:24.923 It starts to leak out a little bit of his Muslim faith.
00:02:24.923 --> 00:02:39.693 And again, I'm not saying all Muslims are radicalized, but you're seeing a pattern, we're seeing a trend in that these type of attacks are caused by those who are caught up in that radical Islam.
00:02:39.693 --> 00:02:42.687 All right, let's take a step back, folks.
00:02:42.687 --> 00:02:44.365 What are we dealing with here?
00:02:44.365 --> 00:03:00.875 We're dealing with a lunatic who rented a truck, drove from Houston to New Orleans, loaded his truck with improvised explosive devices and coolers, planted them in the French Quarter with the intent of blowing them up.
00:03:00.875 --> 00:03:06.659 It had bullets and screws sorry, it had screws and nails in it, not bullets in it.
00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:09.485 He rammed through people.
00:03:09.485 --> 00:03:16.775 His goal maximum damage, maximum violence, maximum death.
00:03:16.775 --> 00:03:23.489 That was his goal and, like all a lot of these, there was no expectation of living.
00:03:23.489 --> 00:03:24.009 Afterwards.
00:03:24.009 --> 00:03:27.194 There was a one directional mission here.
00:03:27.194 --> 00:03:35.593 Now, when the FBI came out there to see it, all that mattered was DEI.
00:03:35.593 --> 00:03:42.086 All that mattered was let's not offend anybody, let's not jump to conclusions, let's not call it what it is.
00:03:42.086 --> 00:03:44.159 They refused to call it terror.
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:49.206 What else would you call someone taking a car and ramming through people?
00:03:49.206 --> 00:03:52.661 Yeah, you could say maybe he lost control of the car.
00:03:52.661 --> 00:04:00.763 But when you open up the car and he comes up with guns and you start shooting and you find all the stuff that you do, of course it's terror.
00:04:00.763 --> 00:04:02.906 And then the FBI changed it.
00:04:04.408 --> 00:04:13.229 Folks, this is not something surprising If you've been listening to the rant network here.
00:04:13.270 --> 00:04:16.262 For the last four years we've been talking about this.
00:04:16.262 --> 00:04:21.132 That radicalism is coming to a neighborhood near you.
00:04:21.132 --> 00:04:38.841 Before Christmas it happened in Germany, very similar Someone plowing his car through a Christmas market, causing maximum damage, death and destruction, death, terror.
00:04:38.841 --> 00:04:49.071 We've seen this against you know, in other countries, but we've ignored it Because we're afraid we're going to offend people, the people who are causing it.
00:04:49.071 --> 00:05:07.892 Now we don't want to take a roller brush and paint everybody in the same vein, but call it for what it is that the vast majority of these attacks are coming from radicalized Muslims, thank you, that's right.
00:05:07.892 --> 00:05:18.670 They bought into islam the radical part of it, the jihad star side of it, the intifada side of it, and look what's happened.
00:05:18.670 --> 00:05:22.216 Why aren't we stopping it?
00:05:22.216 --> 00:05:23.017 Why aren't?
00:05:23.017 --> 00:05:26.350 Isn't there outrage in the streets of the us and canada and the west?
00:05:26.350 --> 00:05:32.382 Simple because the people who would have been outraged are the ones who are thrilled about it.
00:05:32.382 --> 00:05:33.812 That's right.
00:05:33.812 --> 00:05:41.795 Have you been paying attention to those pro-palestinian which is really code for pro-terrorist marches?
00:05:44.322 --> 00:05:47.769 They're screaming death to america, not just death to israel.
00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:52.495 Death to america, death to jews, death to Americans, death to the West.
00:05:52.495 --> 00:06:02.646 Death, intifada, violence, resistance All these code words which then leads to this type of event.
00:06:02.646 --> 00:06:13.591 Paying attention, you know?
00:06:13.591 --> 00:06:19.670 In Las Vegas, at virtually the same time, somebody tried to blow up a Tesla Cybertruck in front of Trump at Trump Hotel, also with the intent of causing maximum damage.
00:06:19.670 --> 00:06:27.601 Fortunately, the damage was minimal, and yet there's no wake-up call.
00:06:27.601 --> 00:06:29.985 There's no alarm.
00:06:29.985 --> 00:06:32.690 There's no wake-up call.
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:33.952 There's no alarm, there is no concern.
00:06:33.973 --> 00:06:49.672 In March of 2024, the head of the FBI stood in front of Congress and said there is a palpable fear and concern for growing terrorism on American soil and it must be monitored and it must be taken very seriously.
00:06:49.672 --> 00:06:50.473 This is serious.
00:06:50.473 --> 00:06:52.735 This is what you do Now.
00:06:52.735 --> 00:06:59.625 Yes, far be it for me to criticize the FBI when you have lone wolves going out there and doing these type of things.
00:06:59.625 --> 00:07:06.257 But let's be real, people.
00:07:06.257 --> 00:07:13.411 Was that bomber who brought liquids with them, crossing on a plane with the intent of exploring up a plane?
00:07:13.411 --> 00:07:19.391 It changed the FAA, changed the rules, and now you can't even bring liquids with you across.
00:07:19.391 --> 00:07:21.336 You know, we're not even a bottle of water.
00:07:21.336 --> 00:07:24.971 You can't even take a bottle of water with you through security in an airport.
00:07:26.454 --> 00:07:27.136 So what are we doing here?
00:07:27.136 --> 00:07:29.920 What change is going to happen here?
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.564 Not just physical?
00:07:32.564 --> 00:07:35.278 Oh, we want more police presence.
00:07:35.278 --> 00:07:38.499 Wow, 10 minutes ago you wanted to defund the police.
00:07:38.499 --> 00:07:40.435 There isn't money for the police.
00:07:40.435 --> 00:07:41.399 Hold on.
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:46.838 You want to put those blocks, like you have in Times Square, where you don't want people to ram in.
00:07:46.838 --> 00:07:48.562 Sure, all that can be done.
00:07:48.562 --> 00:08:10.959 That's not the problem, but that's not what is going to change and solve this problem, because you could block off the French Quarter and you can block off Times Square and you can maybe block off certain other areas, but that's not going to stop someone from trying to blow up a school, an office building.
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.752 Sound familiar, blowing up office buildings.
00:08:17.999 --> 00:08:28.798 The generation that's right now fighting and against you know, all of us wanting to put the clamps on radicals really doesn't know anything about 9-11.
00:08:28.798 --> 00:08:34.525 Doesn't remember when Americans were attacked.
00:08:34.525 --> 00:08:41.602 But this is the reality we're dealing with today, and this isn't the last one, unfortunately.
00:08:41.602 --> 00:08:46.182 No, this video is not about encouraging others, please, this is not what I'm intending to do here.
00:08:47.631 --> 00:08:59.116 What the RAND Network has been about is about exposing the fallacies that you've been hearing the fallacy at the government level, the fallacies at the media level, the fallacies on social media that built that was prompt.
00:08:59.116 --> 00:09:01.870 That's telling you one thing and another thing is happening.
00:09:01.870 --> 00:09:05.076 All things are good, but look what's happening.
00:09:05.076 --> 00:09:09.934 We won't deal with it because we're afraid of offending someone.
00:09:09.934 --> 00:09:12.951 That's what your government has been about.
00:09:12.951 --> 00:09:18.501 That's what the army has been about, the FBI, all you name it.
00:09:18.501 --> 00:09:23.940 We're more concerned about diverse hiring than doing the job.
00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:44.423 And again, this is not about criticizing the FBI because they're not great officers and they don't have great people, but when the top is more concerned about hiring African-Americans and LGBTQ community and not paying attention and putting the resources into the fine and getting the best people to protect us.
00:09:45.485 --> 00:09:46.745 You got to ask yourself questions why?
00:09:46.745 --> 00:09:56.114 Why do we want a military filled with beautiful people and a diverse looking people, but not the best army to defend us from attackers?
00:09:56.114 --> 00:10:01.846 We're under attack, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10:01.846 --> 00:10:08.403 Whether you're living in Canada or the United States or Europe, we are under attack.
00:10:08.403 --> 00:10:13.405 Media has let you down because they're not telling you the truth behind this.
00:10:13.405 --> 00:10:15.741 And now don't throw at me, solomon.
00:10:15.741 --> 00:10:19.063 Those are those famous conspiracy theories that you and Brasgel like to throw at us.
00:10:19.063 --> 00:10:19.745 No, no, no.
00:10:19.745 --> 00:10:22.684 This is not conspiracy theories, this is fact.
00:10:23.394 --> 00:10:29.503 And if you only have to look at one country To follow the patterns and see what goes on and that's in Israel.
00:10:29.503 --> 00:10:57.788 Because if you've seen what's been going on in Israel For the last quarter century, thanks to Yair Esarrafat, thanks to Seymour, thanks to Jimmy Carter, thanks to a whole bunch of Western leaders who empowered terrorists to find means to cause maximum damage, you see cars driven into people in Israel, used for suicide bombing.
00:10:57.788 --> 00:11:04.315 This is not new.
00:11:04.315 --> 00:11:06.576 Israel was the test ground for what they were going to do in the West.
00:11:06.576 --> 00:11:09.057 You see, in Israel you do have security.
00:11:09.057 --> 00:11:10.678 There is a heightened awareness.
00:11:11.019 --> 00:11:13.761 Dei, don't even talk to me about DEI.
00:11:13.761 --> 00:11:21.366 Dei is not about public safety, and they will tell you that what matters is making sure that no one gets killed.
00:11:21.366 --> 00:11:25.551 That's the priority In the US and Canada and the West.
00:11:25.551 --> 00:11:34.301 It's about not offending someone and, as a result, here we are A lone wolf with an ISIS flag in his truck.
00:11:34.301 --> 00:11:37.085 That's not a lone wolf, folks.
00:11:37.085 --> 00:11:45.798 That is the pattern that is going as beginning and it's come to a neighborhood that you live in.
00:11:45.818 --> 00:12:05.647 So, yeah, what Jews have been living with and others have been living with since October 7, 2023 in America physical attacks, violent attacks, assault people, you know, taking guns to schools, firebombing religious institutions Voila it's now at your doorstep.
00:12:05.647 --> 00:12:07.649 You denied it till now.
00:12:07.649 --> 00:12:11.899 You said it wasn't going to happen, it was an isolated incident.
00:12:11.899 --> 00:12:15.043 Oh no, oh no.
00:12:15.043 --> 00:12:20.311 Worse than that, it's the truth, it's your reality.
00:12:20.311 --> 00:12:23.523 So what do I say to you today, folks?
00:12:23.523 --> 00:12:28.966 One thing and one thing simple Be aware, be alert, because guess what?
00:12:28.966 --> 00:12:30.679 They're coming for you?
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:39.140 They don't care your color, they don't care your gender, they don't care your sexual persuasion, they don't care about anything.
00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:47.201 Only one thing they want to do Top of America, top of the West Maximum damage and death.
00:12:48.743 --> 00:12:58.807 So let's get off this DEI banter, let's get off this belief that you know, hey, we should be better at this, we should be nice people.
00:12:58.807 --> 00:13:06.698 Let's get off this whole notion that you know what we shouldn't be Islamophobic.
00:13:06.698 --> 00:13:11.797 Stop with these terms, people, because these terms are ridiculous.
00:13:11.797 --> 00:13:13.379 These terms aren't going to save us.
00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:16.924 These terms aren't going to protect us from the radicals, from these.
00:13:16.924 --> 00:13:27.038 You know, these terrorists who have come in from the border, who've convinced people on social media that they should be radicals.
00:13:27.038 --> 00:13:35.669 Think about it when the Bin Laden doctrine came through on social media, how people were galvanized and found Bin Laden to be right.
00:13:35.669 --> 00:13:40.999 Why is this step not evident?
00:13:40.999 --> 00:13:44.147 We need to stop feeling bad and feeling sorry.
00:13:44.147 --> 00:13:48.299 It's not going to save us, it's going to kill us.
00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:54.942 And what we saw in Germany and what we saw in New Orleans just the beginning.
00:13:54.942 --> 00:13:57.721 Folks, we need to be vigilant.
00:13:57.721 --> 00:14:01.182 If not, we may be the next victim.
00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:03.955 Thank you for tuning in today to the rant network.
