The New Sheriff in Town: Donald Trump's Global Impact
Show Notes
Can one leader's unconventional approach shake the very foundation of global politics? Donald Trump's unconventional leadership has caused reverberations felt from Washington to the Middle East. We explore the striking contrast between past and present administrations, focusing on the swift and bold actions that have sent shockwaves across the globe, reshaping international diplomacy and challenging age-old policies. We reflect on the real impact Trump is having on domestic and international challenges - with a focus on how he has put Hamas and other terrorist groups in their place.
00:00:05.828 --> 00:00:31.789 you know, in the wild west there used to be a famed expression there's a new sheriff in town and what was once acceptable and lawlessness would no longer be accepted, and that's pretty much what that expression meant throughout all of history.
00:00:31.789 --> 00:00:40.008 There's a new leader in town in the United States, or back in town, and he's not like he was back in 2016.
00:00:40.008 --> 00:00:43.854 He knows the game, he studied the game.
00:00:43.854 --> 00:00:51.048 He knows the game, he studied the game, and he isn't playing with anybody for any reason, at any time.
00:00:51.048 --> 00:01:27.750 He may be the most unconventional modern day president, but I gotta tell you from fake red lines and if you don't respond, the repercussions are going to be unimaginable, having the world almost on edge, whether it's the most recent reciprocal tax, the Saturday 12 noon deadline, you're going to carpet bomb us, we're going to obliterate you and the world is no longer going well.
00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:30.522 It's just Biden, it's just Obama.
00:01:30.522 --> 00:01:36.513 Now, this guy they are terrified of and I really think they are.
00:01:37.153 --> 00:01:38.522 Welcome everybody to the Rant Network.
00:01:38.522 --> 00:01:50.671 My name's Stuart Priskell, that's David Solomon, and this is a podcast that's unfiltered, unapologetic discussion hosted by just the two of us for the last over now four years, going on our fifth.
00:01:50.671 --> 00:01:54.748 We tackle a diverse range of topics, with candid conversations, bold opinions.
00:01:54.748 --> 00:02:06.722 Whether it's breaking down the latest headlines, as we just said, exploring pop culture, debating politics or delving into complexities of modern life, we gather our things from every perspective.
00:02:06.722 --> 00:02:10.175 So grab a seat, settle in and join us on this journey.
00:02:10.175 --> 00:02:18.334 It's another thought-provoking conversation and, david, I know you got lots of opinions, but let's hear it.
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.544 No me an opinion.
00:02:20.544 --> 00:02:22.109 No, that's not possible.
00:02:22.109 --> 00:02:27.027 Ladies and gentlemen, I got to tell you we're sitting here on Valentine's Day Now.
00:02:27.027 --> 00:02:30.062 It's Valentine's Day in a lot of parts of the world, but it's not Valentine's Day in Israel.
00:02:30.062 --> 00:02:36.907 Israel has its own day for love, by the way, and it's not today, and it'll be later in the summer.
00:02:36.907 --> 00:02:45.173 And I got to tell you something the people have been waiting for their loved ones to come home 500 plus days as a hostage.
00:02:45.173 --> 00:02:50.485 It's sickening, but look what happened in the White House with the changeover.
00:02:50.566 --> 00:03:02.586 And you could hate Donald Trump, and you could just, if you really want to get a feel of what hating Donald Trump's all about, watch the Democrats, watch MSNBC, watch CNN.
00:03:02.586 --> 00:03:06.233 They're unapologetic about the way they treat Donald Trump.
00:03:06.233 --> 00:03:08.782 They don't care about what.
00:03:08.782 --> 00:03:09.705 You know how they.
00:03:09.705 --> 00:03:11.068 They just want to take him down.
00:03:11.068 --> 00:03:15.104 But the American population has loved what he has done overall.
00:03:15.104 --> 00:03:25.454 I'm not going to say everything, but overall they really love what he has done, Because with swift moves in less than a month, Donald Trump has changed the world, not just the US.
00:03:26.401 --> 00:03:30.406 And you could complain about tariffs and I'm not going to go there, but let's just talk about world order.
00:03:30.406 --> 00:03:36.132 Vladimir Zelensky and Putin are talking.
00:03:36.132 --> 00:03:40.350 There's suddenly this conversation about a real ceasefire, end of war.
00:03:40.350 --> 00:03:43.102 Under Biden it was talk Under Biden.
00:03:43.102 --> 00:03:51.888 There was a lot of BS and exchanges and words that meant nothing, but this time around, holy moly.
00:03:51.888 --> 00:04:00.008 Now you know, people want to also talk about the fact that he secured the border better To be determined.
00:04:00.008 --> 00:04:00.790 Let's see what happens.
00:04:00.790 --> 00:04:09.872 I know on the US side possibly, and what they've done under Tom Homan and company, and we've seen now that all the nominations are finally coming through and we'll see the changes that will happen.
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:15.192 We see Doge, we see all these things, but there's one place I'm going to focus you on today, ladies and gentlemen, and that's the Middle East.
00:04:15.192 --> 00:04:18.810 And the reason is because of two things that have occurred.
00:04:18.810 --> 00:04:29.562 One, the realization that the US government has been duping you big time With Doge, exposing money being sent to terrorists.
00:04:29.562 --> 00:04:39.935 There was no wonder that whatever words came out of the White House had no meaning Do as I say, but when I send you the money, do whatever you want to do.
00:04:39.935 --> 00:04:46.452 And there was no wonder there was anarchy in the Middle East when you send $100 million to terrorists.
00:04:46.452 --> 00:04:47.214 Beautiful.
00:04:48.466 --> 00:04:52.610 And Joe Biden can sit there today in his Delaware home and say wasn't me, I didn't know anything.
00:04:52.610 --> 00:04:53.353 That's not true.
00:04:53.353 --> 00:04:54.035 They're lying.
00:04:54.035 --> 00:04:55.690 Donald Trump's a bastard.
00:04:55.690 --> 00:04:58.091 He's a threat to democracy.
00:04:58.091 --> 00:05:03.829 The threat to democracy, ladies and gentlemen, came from the people who sent money to terrorists.
00:05:03.829 --> 00:05:10.233 Let me say that again the threat to democracy came from the people who sent money to terrorists, and that was your tax.
00:05:10.233 --> 00:05:16.290 Debt bears money that went to the hands of Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah, all of these groups.
00:05:18.814 --> 00:05:19.834 But what will?
00:05:19.834 --> 00:05:23.740 Cnn and MSNBC are not saying a word about it, because it's okay.
00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:26.291 But let me take a different stance, folks.
00:05:26.291 --> 00:05:30.956 Under Joe Biden, he said you must return the hostages.
00:05:30.956 --> 00:05:35.411 That's Joe Biden, One of Jim Henson's Muppets.
00:05:37.685 --> 00:05:50.956 Everybody around the world knew Biden's going to do nothing and while he let Israel do whatever she wanted to do and defend herself which was the best part of this war Joe Biden on one hand said did Netanyahu do what you got to do?
00:05:50.956 --> 00:05:54.533 But I'm going to try to control you, but on the other hand, I'm going to fund your enemies.
00:05:54.533 --> 00:06:01.894 It's exactly what he did Fund the enemies, this perpetual war to create this anarchy, to create this.
00:06:01.894 --> 00:06:11.478 All he about to get votes Wasn't about resolution, folks, and every time they threw this BS statement of a two-state solution, it was just to further the problem.
00:06:11.478 --> 00:06:21.129 So when earlier this week, Hamas announced Israel's breaching the ceasefire we're not going to return any hostages To hell with you.
00:06:22.485 --> 00:06:33.978 It was refreshing to hear out of the White House Donald Trump said you're going to return by noon, Eastern, all the hostages or we're going to let Israel.
00:06:33.978 --> 00:06:36.661 Basically let hell loose.
00:06:36.661 --> 00:06:44.826 Let hell, hell loose.
00:06:44.826 --> 00:06:45.971 Now, if that was joe biden, it would be well.
00:06:45.971 --> 00:06:49.444 We have to have a, a discussion about a two-state solution and we need to have a resolution and all the rest of the shit.
00:06:49.444 --> 00:06:54.896 And here is donald trump saying you don't listen, we're gonna screw with you.
00:06:55.336 --> 00:07:04.314 And when the hoothies woke up and said, oh well, if the ceasefire is broken, we're going to continue firing, Donald Trump goes no, you're not, Stay in your lane, because I'm going to bomb the crap out of you too.
00:07:04.314 --> 00:07:18.100 And as a result, Stuart, tomorrow, God willing, US Israelis Sagi Dekelhen, EL Horn and Russian-Israeli Sasha Alexander Trufanov are the three hostages scheduled to be released.
00:07:18.100 --> 00:07:20.713 Now Donald Trump said all the hostages.
00:07:20.713 --> 00:07:28.675 We don't really know if we meant all the rest of the 70-odd hostages or he really meant the three that were on schedule.
00:07:28.675 --> 00:07:33.564 We'll find out in about 24 hours or so what the message will be out of the White House.
00:07:33.564 --> 00:07:38.576 But, Stuart, when you said new sheriff in town, damn straight.
00:07:38.576 --> 00:07:47.076 This new sheriff is really laying down the law and it's about freaking time, my friends you know, david, the.
00:07:47.136 --> 00:08:07.208 The reality is the open-ended statement that donald trump made from the oval office, and the reality in the Middle East is that what was for 70 years will not continue anymore.
00:08:07.208 --> 00:08:13.218 The regular norm is over and that's non-negotiable, it seems, with this White House.
00:08:13.218 --> 00:08:19.797 I believe also that Donald Trump didn't say the Israelis can have at it.
00:08:19.797 --> 00:08:33.510 I think Donald Trump said there will be hell to pay if they're not out, which infers maybe the US has had enough.
00:08:33.510 --> 00:08:54.785 I think the world saw this last tranche of victims that the terrorists held, where United Nations, red Cross and every aid organization was silent about, looked eerily no different than those that were saved from Auschwitz, bergen-baken.
00:08:54.785 --> 00:08:59.269 They all looked like that and worse.
00:08:59.269 --> 00:09:22.033 But the reminder of what these neo-Nazis are doing called Palestinians, called Houthis, called terrorists that if this was in the United States, if this was in Canada, this would not be accepted.
00:09:23.336 --> 00:09:26.908 Reality is former government in charge.
00:09:26.908 --> 00:09:30.854 I don't think Biden actually even understood what was going on.
00:09:30.854 --> 00:09:40.285 You know, in 1988, he plagiarized a speech and in 2024, I don't think he remembered that he gave that speech.
00:09:40.285 --> 00:09:41.629 It's sad.
00:09:41.629 --> 00:09:54.486 Today you have people in the street arguing for supporting cement factories for Gaza, which built tunnels of terror from US tax dollars.
00:09:54.486 --> 00:09:57.186 Now this is now being exposed.
00:09:57.186 --> 00:10:03.293 We don't know, maybe the Canadian government was just as complicit and they had some organizations did the same thing.
00:10:03.293 --> 00:10:04.017 We don't know yet.
00:10:04.017 --> 00:10:09.918 We hope that in March there'll be a change in government and there'll be an Elon Musk in Canada as well.
00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:11.864 We're not having it in March, but anyways, go on.
00:10:12.586 --> 00:10:13.006 Say that again.
00:10:15.115 --> 00:10:16.139 Forget about Canada, Stuart.
00:10:16.139 --> 00:10:17.884 Let's finish about Donald, please.
00:10:18.515 --> 00:10:21.366 I'm talking about the world, Israel and Donald J Trump.
00:10:21.366 --> 00:10:35.908 I hope that we find out on Saturday that this wasn't an air swoosh and that Donald J Trump sends a message that the world hears.
00:10:35.908 --> 00:10:38.360 Iran is ahead of the snake.
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.645 That's it.
00:10:40.645 --> 00:10:46.386 You know as much as the Palestinians are being trained as neo-Nazis.
00:10:46.386 --> 00:10:51.360 It's Iran that's doing this and Donald Trump knows this.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:59.038 The world knows this, but is the world going to respond behind Donald Trump?
00:10:59.038 --> 00:11:13.129 And I think the answer is, today, more yes than ever before overtly, like in public.
00:11:13.649 --> 00:11:25.520 You know former Prime Minister Harper very interesting gentleman is, you know he's gone around on various speeches and he said he's unapologetic about the fact he stands with Israel.
00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:27.168 He stands on the side of humanity.
00:11:27.168 --> 00:11:31.642 And one of the interesting comments he said was during his time when he was Prime Minister.
00:11:31.642 --> 00:11:41.746 As he stood with Israel, leaders around the world said to him you know, it took a lot of fortitude for you to stand with Israel, because I can't in my country I'll get voted out.
00:11:41.746 --> 00:11:44.947 And he says, yeah, I want to stand with Israel.
00:11:44.947 --> 00:11:47.236 People said they want to stand with Israel but they're afraid.
00:11:48.158 --> 00:11:49.020 This is what's happened.
00:11:49.020 --> 00:11:53.761 People, their political lives matter more than the right thing to do.
00:11:53.761 --> 00:12:02.065 Humanity is being swayed and when you have a strong leader saying we're not going to tolerate this, look what happens.
00:12:02.065 --> 00:12:11.677 And it's interesting because you know, stuart, unfortunately, a few days ago Shlomo Mansour, the oldest hostage held by Hamas, a Holocaust survivor, was found dead.
00:12:11.677 --> 00:12:17.717 Apparently, he was killed on October the 7th and they held on to his body as a negotiation plot.
00:12:17.717 --> 00:12:33.061 Now, if you're sitting here today with half a fucking brain, I'm asking myself what is wrong with you to believe that holding dead bodies as a form of negotiation is humane, but the Biden administration knew this, did nothing.
00:12:33.682 --> 00:12:43.061 The Trump administration, in three weeks, has come down with a rain of fire saying we're not tolerating this crap Enough.
00:12:43.061 --> 00:12:45.745 The world needs humanity.
00:12:45.745 --> 00:12:53.097 And instead, what we're going to focus on is that Donald Trump's a brute, that Donald Trump is mean to CNN, that Donald Trump says bad words.
00:12:53.097 --> 00:12:56.527 We're going to focus on all those things because that's what ratings are all about.
00:12:56.527 --> 00:13:00.144 Ratings for the media is more important than human lives.
00:13:00.144 --> 00:13:02.662 A Jew is not important.
00:13:02.662 --> 00:13:04.561 That's what you got today.
00:13:04.561 --> 00:13:06.475 A Jew is not important.
00:13:06.475 --> 00:13:19.761 And when you let things like what we saw at the Super Bowl Kanye West's commercial on Fox selling swastika T-shirts and no one says a word, that's your society today.
00:13:19.761 --> 00:13:41.984 That's what Donald Trump has been, was elected to change, and I'm going to move a little bit this conversation, just a little bit this way, because we're going to talk about all the trends and all the crying and the whining over here, but for crying out loud, you've normalized anti-Semitism again and Donald Trump is sitting in the White House going no, and this is what he's done.
00:13:42.043 --> 00:13:52.205 The new sheriff in town is trying to bring people back away from this ridiculous thought, because you know if you can accept and look what happens to it.
00:13:52.205 --> 00:14:00.908 You had hostages coming back from Venezuela, russia recently, and the media has ignored it.
00:14:00.908 --> 00:14:23.866 But when Biden brought back Brittany Griner, a basketball player, and what he traded for to get her back, it was praised as oh, look at our president, good God, people, would you stop with the politics and I know right now I'm being delusional but enough with this BS politics and BS belief that Trump can do no right.
00:14:23.866 --> 00:14:26.399 For God's sake, look what he's doing.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.768 He's making society better, not the way you want it to be.
00:14:29.768 --> 00:14:38.750 I get it, but imagine if it was your relative who was kidnapped and for 500 days the Red Cross refused to help you.
00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:43.046 The governments refused to help you find your loved one, to see if they're alive.
00:14:43.046 --> 00:14:49.327 Imagine Shlomo Mansour's family who this week found out after 500 days that their relative was dead.
00:14:50.857 --> 00:14:52.323 I can't even imagine, david.
00:14:52.323 --> 00:15:14.181 I can't even imagine and we talked about this in the previous podcast Listen, at the end of the day, we'll see what Saturday 12 noon looks like and what the next word from the president of the United States which is actually his word unapologetic, no different than what we're trying to provide.
00:15:14.181 --> 00:15:17.347 And that brings us to a close For another episode of the Rent Network.
00:15:17.347 --> 00:15:21.003 We truly appreciate you tuning in and sharing your thoughts and time with us.
