Could TikTok be swaying voters with misinformation? Unpack the chaotic political scene as we head towards the November 5th U.S. presidential election, featuring the divisive campaigns of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. With the media under scrutiny, particularly amidst claims of AI-manipulated interviews, we confront the whirlwind of sensationalism and its grip on public perception. We untangle the complex narratives that overshadow critical issues, like reproductive rights, and the frustration rooted in today's absurd political discourse.
Should we listen to public figures like Mark Cuban and Kevin O'Leary? How about entertainers and performers - are they reliable or just trying to sway our votes? How should voters make their decisions when there is so much noise?
00:00:02.825 --> 00:00:05.288 That ticking you hear in our music in the background.
00:00:05.288 --> 00:00:30.035 That's the ticking towards Tuesday, november the 5th, when we, you Americans, go to the polls to vote for the next president and we are guaranteed to have a new president, whether it be Donald Trump for the second time, but he wasn't president this time or Quacken Kamala Harris, who continues to just prove that when she opens her mouth, god knows what comes out of it.
00:00:30.035 --> 00:00:35.853 But as we get into the election cycle, folks, how are you being influenced by this election?
00:00:35.853 --> 00:00:41.981 This is really part of our rant today, where what's going to get you to vote and why so?
00:00:41.981 --> 00:00:43.109 Folks, welcome back to the Rant Network.
00:00:43.109 --> 00:00:44.015 He is Stuart Briscoe.
00:00:44.015 --> 00:00:44.619 I'm David Solomon.
00:00:44.619 --> 00:00:46.706 I cannot vote in this election.
00:00:46.706 --> 00:00:48.691 He can and has or will.
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:54.131 This is an unedited, uncensored, unfiltered conversation on a wide variety of topics and until Tuesday it's going to be.
00:00:54.131 --> 00:01:01.128 Actually, probably until Wednesday it's going to be the election, because chances are, whatever happens after Tuesday is going to be our rant on Wednesday.
00:01:01.128 --> 00:01:10.371 Folks, this is the platform for you to express your opinions, your thoughts, your experiences, your ideas, hear from a variety of different perspectives and honest, frank, direct opinions.
00:01:10.371 --> 00:01:16.492 Join us today as we're going to dive into this news topic which is just dominating the cycle on this side of the world.
00:01:16.492 --> 00:01:20.570 We do everything from modern life absurdities all the way to the deeper issues.
00:01:20.570 --> 00:01:22.987 Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, back at the rant now.
00:01:22.987 --> 00:01:27.061 So, stuart, I'm going to ask deeper issues.
00:01:27.061 --> 00:01:28.543 Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, back at the rent now.
00:01:28.543 --> 00:01:32.771 So, stewart, I'm gonna ask you this tuesday it's only four days away what's?
00:01:32.790 --> 00:01:36.424 going through your head right now well, you know, we were talking pre.
00:01:36.424 --> 00:01:42.947 Uh, we call that backstage, and stewart, we lost your mic there.
00:01:43.066 --> 00:01:44.469 Sorry, we lost your mic there.
00:01:44.469 --> 00:01:45.992 Stuart's mic just popped out.
00:01:45.992 --> 00:01:47.155 That's all wonderful.
00:01:47.155 --> 00:01:49.527 So folks listen, let me ask you this question.
00:01:49.527 --> 00:01:56.417 One of the things that I was listening to an inter-news article.
00:01:56.417 --> 00:01:56.998 I'm back.
00:01:56.998 --> 00:01:58.121 I'm back, okay.
00:01:58.121 --> 00:01:59.307 So let me throw this back at you.
00:01:59.307 --> 00:02:12.331 One of the things that was very surprising 18 to 29-year-olds approximately seven out of eight are getting their news information on politics, especially in this election, from online sources.
00:02:12.331 --> 00:02:15.435 Yeah, stuart, what about you, man?
00:02:15.435 --> 00:02:15.836 What about you?
00:02:15.836 --> 00:02:16.436 Talk about you?
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:39.120 All right, and I'll talk about the TikTok news, which is all advertising, which is trying to get young girls ages 12 to 16 to vote by, you know reproductive rights and that Trump is going to make you be pregnant with your stepfather's child.
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.501 No, that's just ludicrous, you know.
00:02:41.501 --> 00:02:43.044 I you know the same thing.
00:02:43.044 --> 00:02:48.554 It is that Donald Trump, according to Mark Cuban, you know, doesn't like strong women.
00:02:48.554 --> 00:02:51.710 I mean, the guy is surrounded, like by Kelly Conway.
00:02:51.710 --> 00:02:53.383 That's a man-eating woman.
00:02:53.383 --> 00:02:57.092 If I ever met one, ever in person, which I did, by the way.
00:02:57.092 --> 00:03:04.389 You know they are trying to call this person every single name to try and get an emotional reaction out of you.
00:03:04.389 --> 00:03:08.655 That not only is nonsensical but is really just a lie.
00:03:08.655 --> 00:03:14.063 You know Kamala is avoiding, as you said, in the backstage.
00:03:14.063 --> 00:03:16.168 You know Joe Rogan, right.
00:03:16.168 --> 00:03:16.588 Why?
00:03:16.588 --> 00:03:20.201 Because she literally is a danger to herself.
00:03:20.201 --> 00:03:32.612 The same reason why they changed the password for Joe Biden's Zoom until after the election they don't want Kamala Harris to be in the front stage so that you can actually get to know her.
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:44.354 And you know, when we look at swing states like Georgia and the Peach State, you know you have what 3.6 million people already voted in the pre-election.
00:03:44.354 --> 00:03:45.314 And you know what?
00:03:45.314 --> 00:03:50.789 For the first time in history, there are a lot of Republicans running out to vote early.
00:03:50.789 --> 00:03:53.804 You know, but it's going back to the news cycle.
00:03:53.804 --> 00:03:57.110 They need to get rid of McDonald Trump.
00:03:57.110 --> 00:03:59.461 They need to get rid of Garbageman Trump.
00:03:59.461 --> 00:04:05.915 They need to get rid of Showman Trump and focus on insanity.
00:04:05.915 --> 00:04:07.919 They called him a hit the Nazi.
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.526 They called mega people.
00:04:10.526 --> 00:04:12.189 You know the stormtroopers.
00:04:12.189 --> 00:04:15.743 They are now saying, hey, what's going to happen January 6th?
00:04:15.743 --> 00:04:24.627 You know, I really think that the left is trying to pontificate what they want to do on January 6th.
00:04:24.627 --> 00:04:29.002 I think they're the ones that want to go out and rush the stage.
00:04:29.002 --> 00:04:37.788 I think they're the ones I've encouraged not one sniper, but two snipers that are American-born Democrats to go and shoot Donald J Trump.
00:04:37.788 --> 00:04:42.564 I think it's them that are the ones who are filling their pockets.
00:04:42.564 --> 00:04:48.463 It is them that is trying to take this republic and turn it to communist republic.
00:04:49.646 --> 00:05:00.634 And, as a joke, david, this cycle in our podcast has been just about this for weeks and weeks and weeks, because the news just doesn't seem to want to cover it.
00:05:00.634 --> 00:05:02.382 And it's absurd.
00:05:02.382 --> 00:05:06.091 And when we say our introduction, we say we cover absurdity.
00:05:06.091 --> 00:05:21.887 The absurdity is that now Donald Trump is suing CBS for $10 billion over faking the interview that you saw on the news, because it really never happened.
00:05:21.887 --> 00:05:42.379 It really took the best of AI to take all the words, like right out of a spy movie where they get someone to say a whole bunch of poetry and they take the word solid, like they did with Tom Cruise in what was that movie called Mission Impossible, to make a voice recording.
00:05:42.379 --> 00:05:45.687 They did that in real life on CBS News.
00:05:46.249 --> 00:06:00.829 You, the American people, you, the world, need to understand that is what you call a deep state, that is what you call a Manchurian candidate, that is what you call an attack on democracy.
00:06:00.829 --> 00:06:09.223 And it's frustrating, david, that every single day, this is the nonsensical information being put out.
00:06:09.223 --> 00:06:31.987 Now, going back to the TikTok news, I had an argument with one of my daughters where she's trying to tell me that Donald Trump is going to, you know, prevent girls who are raped with incest, that have to keep their babies, because Donald Trump's going to prevent any and all abortions.
00:06:31.987 --> 00:06:35.574 Are you on crack cocaine?
00:06:35.574 --> 00:06:37.642 The world has gone nuts.
00:06:37.642 --> 00:06:42.009 I got Jewish people telling me Adolf Hitler's a Nazi.
00:06:42.069 --> 00:06:45.694 Don't you know that that Kamala Harris is the best for Israel?
00:06:45.694 --> 00:07:07.687 Well, according to Israel, they, by majority, want Donald J Trump and they don't want the Biden, kamala Harris, tim Tampon right, you know, biden wants and Kamala Harris wants, and Tim wants women to be used and abused by men by allowing men into women's sports.
00:07:07.687 --> 00:07:10.744 They would have you believe this is good for you.
00:07:10.744 --> 00:07:14.365 They would have you believe that there's a free house there for you.
00:07:14.365 --> 00:07:17.124 Man, they're going to give you free house, free food.
00:07:17.124 --> 00:07:18.946 They're going to give you free gas.
00:07:18.946 --> 00:07:21.163 They're going to give you free work.
00:07:21.163 --> 00:07:22.822 They're going to give you a four-day work week.
00:07:22.822 --> 00:07:30.062 Fuck, why don't we just give you free money and call it Cuba, david, where will this?
00:07:30.343 --> 00:07:30.463 end.
00:07:30.463 --> 00:07:32.781 Well, stuart, I'm going to tell you something.
00:07:32.781 --> 00:07:52.908 To me, the absurdity starts you know what you just said Like it's propelled a lot of it by the media, and I'll give you an example Mika Brzezinski, one of the lunatics from the MSNBC she was on the View another group of lunatics and they're having a meltdown that a Trump presidency is the end of democracy, it's the end of America, it's the end.
00:07:52.908 --> 00:07:54.461 This election is the great.
00:07:54.461 --> 00:07:58.755 And they go on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on and on, and they're creating nothing but hysteria.
00:07:58.755 --> 00:08:03.862 But what they haven't said one time was what will Kamala Harris do?
00:08:03.862 --> 00:08:06.785 Well, they continue to push.
00:08:06.805 --> 00:08:09.728 You know, at the beginning, think of the different nuances.
00:08:09.728 --> 00:08:10.790 First he was a criminal.
00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:12.112 They stopped doing that.
00:08:12.112 --> 00:08:14.663 Then they talk about Project 2025.
00:08:14.663 --> 00:08:18.586 Somehow that disappeared off the table because they realized they couldn't get that to stick.
00:08:18.586 --> 00:08:23.978 So now they're pushing this national abortion ban, and they're still pushing it in a while a national abortion ban.
00:08:23.978 --> 00:08:32.817 And Trump continues to say folks, I've never asked for a national abortion ban, it's a misquote.
00:08:32.836 --> 00:08:33.740 Okay, all of these things are misquotes.
00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.724 Even the day he was going to be an autocrat.
00:08:34.724 --> 00:08:35.888 Hold on a second.
00:08:35.888 --> 00:08:36.330 This was interesting.
00:08:36.330 --> 00:08:37.413 They pulled out a quote.
00:08:37.413 --> 00:08:39.778 They said he's on day one, he wants to be an autocrat.
00:08:39.778 --> 00:08:41.480 He's going to be an autocrat, he's going to be authoritarian.
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.101 And he said, yeah, on day one, I'm going to.
00:08:43.101 --> 00:08:46.125 As a joke, he said I'm going to pass these executive orders.
00:08:46.125 --> 00:08:49.451 What did Joe Biden do on day one?
00:08:49.451 --> 00:08:52.020 Pass executive orders, which is autocratic.
00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:54.480 But it's okay, joe Biden can do it.
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.363 Donald Trump has no right to do it because then he's an autocrat.
00:08:57.865 --> 00:09:12.850 Okay, you know when last Sunday and we've talked about this the entire rally at Madison Square Garden was dubbed the Nazi rally by Hillary Clinton, by Kamala Harris, by Tim Walz, by all the rest of the media, I mean like this whole thing.
00:09:12.850 --> 00:09:22.389 But you know, when you see American flags, israeli flags, other flags, people walking around free to talk and whatever, this isn't a Nazi rally.
00:09:22.389 --> 00:09:24.480 No one was yelling Heil Trump.
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.998 No one's yelling death to you know, to the rest of the world.
00:09:27.998 --> 00:09:34.643 It was about make America great again, may bring back the American dream, and that is the problem.
00:09:35.123 --> 00:09:37.325 The facts are irrelevant.
00:09:37.325 --> 00:09:52.447 I've had arguments with people on this side of the border and on the US side of the border, exactly what you said.
00:09:52.447 --> 00:09:54.422 Oh, kamala Harris is going to be good for Canada.
00:09:54.422 --> 00:09:55.024 In what way?
00:09:55.024 --> 00:09:57.782 What proof do you have that she's going to be good for Canada?
00:09:57.782 --> 00:10:02.705 Really, you're just coming up with stuff because this is what makes you feel good.
00:10:02.705 --> 00:10:06.057 You don't have proof, none of our policies, in fact.
00:10:06.057 --> 00:10:19.211 If the Americans go into an into a recession which is predicting under Kamala Harris, right, right, but David, that's like a 1968 flashback where they think that's going to be a double dip.
00:10:28.995 --> 00:10:30.097 But you know, like the Madison Square Garden and Nazism?
00:10:30.118 --> 00:10:30.578 you know, david, was, was.
00:10:30.578 --> 00:10:31.400 Was franklin d roosevelt a, not neo-nazi?
00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:35.836 Can I ask you a question when the democrats had their rally in madison square garden some 30 years ago, was that a nazi rally?
00:10:35.836 --> 00:10:37.359 Because that's the last time they were there?
00:10:37.359 --> 00:10:47.395 So I think the problem is, is that the spin that continues to happen here and you hear it on all the news channels and you hear it on the feeds and you hear it whatever.
00:10:47.395 --> 00:10:50.418 No wonder your daughter is you hear it on the feeds and you hear it whatever.
00:10:50.418 --> 00:10:54.763 No wonder your daughter is saying to you yeah, donald Trump is this, because if enough people say it, it has to be true.
00:10:55.403 --> 00:11:02.510 You know, when Marvel brings around, or like six, seven of the seven Marvel people get together to try to, you know, promote.
00:11:02.510 --> 00:11:06.957 Why do I want to listen to entertainers?
00:11:06.957 --> 00:11:09.101 Do I really think an entertainer knows more than I do?
00:11:09.101 --> 00:11:20.841 I mean right now, all of these things, whether it's lunatic, you know the lunatics from the left and the entertainers, or whatever, the Taylor Swifts of this world to Scarlett Johansson, who I have tremendous respect for.
00:11:20.841 --> 00:11:30.682 But, like when you stand there and you say you must, you must vote for Kamala Harris, but you didn't give me a reason must you must vote for Kamala Harris, but you didn't give me a reason.
00:11:30.682 --> 00:11:31.384 All you do is give me emotion.
00:11:31.384 --> 00:11:33.110 I don't want emotion, because emotion isn't putting food on my table.
00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:34.736 Emotion isn't paying my bills.
00:11:34.736 --> 00:11:37.224 Emotion isn't going to help me with my family.
00:11:37.224 --> 00:11:39.537 Emotion's not helping me with crime and immigration.
00:11:39.537 --> 00:11:40.519 Stop.
00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:43.826 And was the last four years good for you?
00:11:43.885 --> 00:11:46.817 David Solomon no, but you see they don't want you to ask that question.
00:11:46.817 --> 00:11:54.984 You see, that's the Democrats, because, you see, the problem is that you know, and I heard it, even with Bill Maher, and I like Bill Maher, whatever, and.
00:11:54.984 --> 00:12:01.576 And Megyn Kelly went after him and said, like I don't get it, when it's done, everything has to be Donald Trump's fault that goes wrong.
00:12:01.576 --> 00:12:09.981 Right, donald Trump inherited Obama's economy, so therefore Donald Trump can be successful, but Joe Biden inherited Donald Trump's economy and it was successful.
00:12:09.981 --> 00:12:12.038 Therefore, we should praise Joe Biden.
00:12:12.038 --> 00:12:13.202 It doesn't make sense.
00:12:13.202 --> 00:12:18.581 The inconsistency of it and to try to spin it always that the left is right.
00:12:18.581 --> 00:12:19.658 Listen, stuart.
00:12:19.658 --> 00:12:22.121 Even what the White House just did.
00:12:22.121 --> 00:12:29.964 They caught Biden on video talking about Trump supporters being garbage and the White House edited the video.
00:12:33.881 --> 00:12:35.206 Forget edited the video.
00:12:35.206 --> 00:12:39.365 They edited the transcript, which is a criminal offense.
00:12:39.365 --> 00:12:45.013 The records of the president must be 100% accurate, and that's a lawsuit.
00:12:45.013 --> 00:12:46.693 I'm waiting for it to come as well.
00:12:47.157 --> 00:12:51.202 But your point of the 10 billion and CBS is exactly the proof of the absurdity.
00:12:51.202 --> 00:12:55.601 You want to talk about threat to democracy and it continues to state a statement.
00:12:55.601 --> 00:12:57.405 Threat to democracy, donald Trump?
00:12:57.405 --> 00:12:58.576 No threat to democracy.
00:12:58.576 --> 00:13:02.783 Is the left trying to seize control any way it can?
00:13:02.783 --> 00:13:04.706 This is 1984.
00:13:04.706 --> 00:13:07.982 This is the book from 1984.
00:13:07.982 --> 00:13:10.071 We're going to control your, we're're going to control the messaging.
00:13:10.071 --> 00:13:11.918 We're going to control what you're going to hear.
00:13:11.918 --> 00:13:13.363 We're going to control how you're going to be.
00:13:13.363 --> 00:13:14.500 We're going to control everything.
00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:18.027 I mean, it's just nuts it's nuts.
00:13:18.798 --> 00:13:19.099 Listen.
00:13:19.099 --> 00:13:25.251 At the end of the day, Mark Cuban, stay the fuck on Shark Tank, because you're just a dipshit.
00:13:25.676 --> 00:13:27.638 No, no he left Shark Tank and by the by.
00:13:27.638 --> 00:13:37.580 Listen, I don't mind a Mark Cuban, no, listen, I'm going to tell you something I don't mind a Mark Cuban, I don't mind a Kevin O'Leary, because if you watch Kevin O'Leary, he went on CNN, he bought up something and they attacked him.
00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:41.037 And it's just proof of how the left doesn't want to listen.
00:13:41.037 --> 00:13:51.857 Kevin O'Leary, an amazingly successful businessman, and I'll listen to Mark Cuban's opinion because he's been there, done that, he's been in the trenches, he's invested in businesses and I'll listen to him.
00:13:51.857 --> 00:13:54.384 I don't agree, but I will listen.
00:13:55.306 --> 00:14:04.294 And the problem is, when Kevin O'Leary says that Kamala Harris is in the wrong, they don't want to listen, they want to attack, because you can't attack our candidate.
00:14:04.294 --> 00:14:07.530 We need the Democrats, we need the left in power.
00:14:07.530 --> 00:14:17.210 This is all you hear, this is all you see, and that's why you get this credible amount of misinformation online, in the public media, in the public media.
00:14:17.210 --> 00:14:37.134 This is why, when people are going to the ballot, they're frustrated, because when they look at their credit card bills, their mortgages, their gas prices, I think the best joke I heard was I've gotten stronger over time Because now I can lift one bag of groceries with $100.
00:14:37.134 --> 00:14:46.990 It's just amazing how people are just looking at their wallets now and saying I don't want this emotional business.
00:14:46.990 --> 00:14:48.072 Talk to me, what's going to work for me?
00:14:48.072 --> 00:14:49.634 And I think that this is where there's a pushback.
00:14:49.875 --> 00:15:06.186 18 to 29-year-olds haven't experienced this yet, and it's conversations we've had often here, you know, with 18 to 29-year-olds who don't have a mortgage, don't have a car, and when you ask them why they are being, they're saying that Donald Trump screwed them because that's all they know.
00:15:06.186 --> 00:15:11.816 Remember, if you're 18 years old today, stuart, you were born in 2006,.
00:15:11.816 --> 00:15:14.746 You don't remember 9-11,.
00:15:14.746 --> 00:15:19.937 You don't remember a lot of the tough part, the times we've had, because you weren't there.
00:15:19.937 --> 00:15:27.914 So, to you, the only thing that you're aware of is that when Donald Trump was president, we had COVID and Joe Biden took over and look what he had to deal with.
00:15:27.914 --> 00:15:33.457 So, to an 18 to 24 year old, joe Biden and the Democrats are heroes.
00:15:37.570 --> 00:15:38.693 I don't think it's so amazing.
00:15:38.693 --> 00:15:39.910 I think it's fucking frightening.
00:15:39.910 --> 00:15:48.148 But anyways we've got to wrap this up because we blew past our quarter hour, but we'll be back.
00:15:48.148 --> 00:15:49.250 Pre-election.
00:15:49.893 --> 00:15:50.573 Monday guys.
00:15:50.573 --> 00:16:00.178 Monday guys, we're going to be talking about the election and then on Wednesday, clearly, if we get there and there is a result, what's the result going to be?
00:16:00.178 --> 00:16:07.038 Because, folks, speaking of panic I don't know if you've heard, but already, if Trump doesn't win the election, there's going to be an insurrection.
00:16:07.038 --> 00:16:08.529 There's going to be another January 6th.
00:16:08.529 --> 00:16:09.413 Don't you hear this?
00:16:09.413 --> 00:16:10.186 Don't you know?
00:16:10.186 --> 00:16:11.486 The military is going to be all over the streets.
00:16:11.486 --> 00:16:15.773 He's going to put out the soldiers, he's going to Think about it.
00:16:15.812 --> 00:16:19.538 Folks, when you go to the Ballad Box, is this the kind of hysteria you want?
00:16:19.538 --> 00:16:21.400 Do you want a word salad?
00:16:21.400 --> 00:16:24.206 And, by the way, what kind of dressing do you want, with Kamala Harris On that note?
00:16:24.206 --> 00:16:26.695 That's it for this week's edition of the Rant Network.
00:16:26.695 --> 00:16:34.094 We hope you enjoyed this conversation and gained something out of this and a little bit of thought as you go to the Ballad Box and you're talking to your children and friends and their children.
