Step into a riveting exploration of the chaotic intersection of politics and media in our latest episode. This discussion is not just about numbers—it's about the narratives that shape our understanding of leadership. How is it possible that Donald Trump, in his early days, fielded over a thousand questions, while Joe Biden handled a fraction in four years? The disparity raises significant questions about transparency and media access, inviting listeners to consider how these dynamics influence public perception.
We delve deep into the complexities of political communication and the media’s role in shaping narratives around elected officials. Why does it seem like the coverage is often more about sensational stories than substantive discussions? As we dissect the behavior of politicians, we encourage listeners to reflect on the role of the judicial system in influencing political action, examining concerns about bipartisanship and accountability.
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.916 I'm running this one for you this morning, buddy, this is going to be me.
00:00:10.916 --> 00:00:41.459 I'm not dancing this morning, so look, you know, stuart, I got to tell you I'm just perplexed, I am just perplexed, I am just perplexed, and I think that the media just needs a little bit of I don't know, maybe some therapy session, because the shake-ups, the nervousness, the freak-outs, ladies and gentlemen, I don't understand.
00:00:41.459 --> 00:00:50.411 When Joe Biden was in the office for four years, the media complained that they couldn't get access to him, they couldn't ask him questions.
00:00:50.411 --> 00:00:56.145 He was vicious, he wouldn't do anything, he walked off the stage, he was obnoxious.
00:00:56.145 --> 00:01:11.492 So in walks in Donald Trump, and from day one, stuart, donald Trump holds court, sometimes with formal press conferences, but what's more fun is in the Oval Office he was taking questions at any topic you could possibly want.
00:01:11.492 --> 00:01:18.254 In one session, some of the members of the media admitted holy mackerel, what the heck happened.
00:01:18.254 --> 00:01:29.147 But you can't give Donald Trump a high five, you can't tell Donald Trump he's good right, you got to put him down.
00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:30.545 All right, folks, welcome back to the Rant Network.
00:01:30.545 --> 00:01:32.865 I am David Sullivan, he is Stuart Briscoe.
00:01:32.865 --> 00:01:38.070 We are this duo called the Rant Network and we do this unedited, unfiltered, uncensored.
00:01:38.070 --> 00:01:42.069 You know the whole rant here Conversations every Monday, wednesday, friday, noon Eastern.
00:01:42.069 --> 00:01:44.772 We cover everything from news, all culture and so much more.
00:01:44.772 --> 00:01:50.507 This is all about the absurdity that the life that we all live in, folks, the quirks of modern life, you name it.
00:01:50.507 --> 00:01:59.072 It's a rollercoaster of stories, but it's amazing how honest and straight up we are going to be when we come up with these personal opinions and perspectives.
00:01:59.072 --> 00:02:02.587 But we love to hear yours and share yours and we comment about yours.
00:02:02.587 --> 00:02:06.341 So sit back and relax, folks, because here we go again.
00:02:06.341 --> 00:02:08.645 So, stewart, look, I I'm gonna.
00:02:08.645 --> 00:02:16.763 I'm gonna talk to you about this, because here's the thing, what's wrong?
00:02:16.763 --> 00:02:21.468 Where people cannot be happy when they get what they want.
00:02:23.390 --> 00:02:27.216 You know, david, I think I want to pivot on this subject.
00:02:27.216 --> 00:02:39.451 President Biden took approximately 588 questions in his entire four-year presidency.
00:02:39.451 --> 00:02:44.860 In his first month, he took 141.
00:02:44.860 --> 00:02:47.800 In his first month, he took 141.
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:54.625 Conversely, former President Barack Obama took 161 questions in his first month.
00:02:54.625 --> 00:03:13.174 Trying to follow me along here a little bit In the entire presidency, obama took 570 questions, the most amongst all modern presidents, which include Bush, clinton, hw Reagan.
00:03:13.174 --> 00:03:22.937 But you know what a lot of people don't understand Donald J Trump, in his first month, took a thousand questions.
00:03:22.937 --> 00:03:31.921 A thousand month took a thousand questions.
00:03:33.705 --> 00:03:38.693 By the way, his entire presidency isn't just four years, it's eight.
00:03:40.141 --> 00:03:58.326 So it's kind of perplexing how the media hasn't been able to give this president any runway whatsoever, because they keep trying to tell you how bad, how bad, how bad.
00:03:58.326 --> 00:04:02.292 The entire four years have passed.
00:04:02.292 --> 00:04:27.795 The word transparency seems to have been misused in every sense of the word, from the you know the ability of President Biden serving in office and people in his party swearing up and down, from Akeem Jeffries to Nancy Pelosi, to little Chucky Schumacher.
00:04:27.795 --> 00:04:49.901 You know I intentionally called him Schumacher, I know it's Schumer guys, but these people are just the bottom of the barrel, you know, and it's really strange because they're all very well educated, scholastically, people, I can't believe that they're that stupid.
00:04:49.901 --> 00:05:06.574 Or America is that naive Like Clinton, shaved hundreds of thousands of jobs out of the federal government and, because of the ramp of Reaganomics, was able to balance the budget.
00:05:06.574 --> 00:05:21.711 Now, of course, really true Democrats can't give any credit to a Republican, but Reaganomics gave the fuel for Clinton to do which no other president seems to have done balance the US budget in sorts.
00:05:21.711 --> 00:05:27.007 It technically wasn't, but was as close to the United States or any country as ever come.
00:05:28.901 --> 00:05:56.879 So as I sit here with you, david, today, I have to ask the question why in the world would Democrat, soros type judges go out of their way to try and stop the executive branch which all federal employees work under, to the grace of the US president?
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.028 He's the executive branch.
00:05:59.028 --> 00:06:03.923 A judge has no basis to interject himself.
00:06:03.923 --> 00:06:05.786 And you know what I find really amazing?
00:06:05.786 --> 00:06:16.266 Why haven't we started to sue judges for interference, debarring them, dethroning them?
00:06:16.266 --> 00:06:32.192 Because using their bench as a political tool seems to be not only against their oath, it seems to be against all law, all jurisprudence.
00:06:32.192 --> 00:06:34.201 It's amazing.
00:06:34.201 --> 00:06:34.903 It's amazing.
00:06:34.903 --> 00:06:42.411 It's like no different than if you look at the Barnard College the anti-Israel protests continuing.
00:06:42.411 --> 00:06:47.536 Those that want to protest, the protesters, weren't permitted.
00:06:47.536 --> 00:07:01.382 It's like the Democrats have to choose.
00:07:01.382 --> 00:07:01.923 Whatever is anarchist like.
00:07:01.923 --> 00:07:14.466 So the question is as a democratic party converted to the anarchy party and the republicans have turned into the popular party, doing what any government or institution would want to do, david you know what, stewart, I, I, I, I mean you.
00:07:15.088 --> 00:07:21.875 You bring up a lot of topics here, and one is really what politics today?
00:07:21.875 --> 00:07:25.947 I think politics for the longest time is about me versus you.
00:07:25.947 --> 00:07:27.252 It's not about us.
00:07:27.252 --> 00:07:33.944 And when you have this bipartisanship, you know, people don't even recognize it, People don't even celebrate it.
00:07:33.944 --> 00:07:37.290 But we need bipartisanship when you are trying to run a country.
00:07:37.290 --> 00:07:40.875 But it's all about power and it's all about seizing power.
00:07:40.875 --> 00:07:42.262 And I know that you talked about the Democrats.
00:07:42.262 --> 00:07:48.990 The Republicans, by the way, historically haven't been a heck of a lot better when it comes up to whatever a Democrat does, the Republicans have to find fault in it.
00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:52.343 The same in Canada, it doesn't matter.
00:07:52.343 --> 00:07:53.625 This is called politicking.
00:07:53.625 --> 00:07:54.406 Fine.
00:07:55.689 --> 00:08:04.500 But what I'm a little bit perturbed by is when you look at what, how you look to oppose a government.
00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:07.487 All right, Now listen, let's start with the questions.
00:08:07.487 --> 00:08:09.913 Donald Trump answers questions.
00:08:09.913 --> 00:08:11.702 The left says how dare he?
00:08:11.702 --> 00:08:15.451 I'm like, what's wrong with you?
00:08:15.451 --> 00:08:18.627 Ok, AP gets thrown out.
00:08:18.627 --> 00:08:20.504 Let's sue the president.
00:08:20.504 --> 00:08:21.910 Sue the president.
00:08:21.910 --> 00:08:28.468 You see that the reaction, with everything that's done, is all about it's oppositional.
00:08:28.468 --> 00:08:52.549 But it's not even oppositional in an intelligent way, it's in a big baby way.
00:08:52.549 --> 00:08:54.672 It's in a big baby way.
00:08:54.751 --> 00:09:03.676 And what has happened over the last number of years, Stuart and we've seen this is that the left, pushed by the, Joe Biden had said we are going to open Doge.
00:09:03.676 --> 00:09:07.217 Would you have seen Republicans at the Department of Education demanding to go in?
00:09:07.217 --> 00:09:09.583 I don't think so.
00:09:09.583 --> 00:09:10.307 Here's my next one.
00:09:10.307 --> 00:09:18.857 Who was the one who yelled stack the court?
00:09:18.857 --> 00:09:21.541 Just in Biden's administration?
00:09:21.541 --> 00:09:21.942 Biden the Democrats.
00:09:21.942 --> 00:09:32.402 They wanted to stack the court because there were too many conservative judges and the only way to balance is to imbalance the court with left-leaning judges.
00:09:32.402 --> 00:09:34.881 They wanted to stack the court to favor them.
00:09:34.881 --> 00:09:37.523 They wanted to stack the court to favor them.
00:09:37.543 --> 00:09:41.504 So if you listen to everything I'm saying here right now, it's not about.
00:09:41.504 --> 00:09:45.784 This is a bad idea, and here's how to make it better for everyone.
00:09:45.784 --> 00:09:50.706 This is a bad idea, and let me make it better for my side, only for the left.
00:09:50.706 --> 00:09:57.149 And here's the thing, and I'll throw this right back at you why are the judges doing what they're doing?
00:09:57.149 --> 00:10:01.429 It's because the left have told the judges the law is out the window.
00:10:01.429 --> 00:10:09.932 Figure out how to counter any Republican or conservative policy and we will support you to death.
00:10:09.932 --> 00:10:19.034 That's why you had these crazy charges being put out in front of Donald Trump in the last number of years, and all of a sudden they're thrown out.
00:10:19.034 --> 00:10:21.115 Hey, come on.
00:10:21.115 --> 00:10:22.995 You know what's going on here, Stuart.
00:10:23.956 --> 00:10:24.356 Listen.
00:10:24.356 --> 00:10:42.682 But what I find truly amazing in talking to people that are very left wing, they're very intelligent people, which is kind of an oxymoron how could you be in favor of and not recognize?
00:10:42.682 --> 00:11:19.975 And I think it's a matter of messaging, and I think the Republicans are starting to figure out the word messaging and so long as they continue down this road and be as transparent and deal with things in a front face manner, the Democrats are stuck waiting for an aha moment, which they're trying to create on an hour by hour, day by day, trying to sling mud, hoping something sticks.
00:11:19.975 --> 00:11:23.485 Now, you know, unfortunately it hasn't worked out, but it's only been 30 days.
00:11:23.485 --> 00:11:39.894 But in 30 days the government transformation in favor of its citizens hasn't been seen in history and and and with that comes even more popularism than before.
00:11:39.894 --> 00:11:51.644 The employment, all the public sectors are being clipped and the private sectors are being built out.
00:11:51.644 --> 00:11:56.221 They're laying off federal employees but hiring them in the private sector.
00:11:57.312 --> 00:11:58.356 Yeah, no, don't say that.
00:11:58.356 --> 00:12:02.756 You see that last part you just said the media doesn't want to tell you the truth.
00:12:02.756 --> 00:12:09.403 No, I was reading this morning, for example, a Globe and Mail article here in Canada that again distorted fact.
00:12:09.403 --> 00:12:10.291 I'm not surprised.
00:12:10.291 --> 00:12:11.875 I mean, people, let's be real.
00:12:11.875 --> 00:12:15.202 This is the media that continues to distort the truth.
00:12:15.202 --> 00:12:16.591 And what does it say?
00:12:16.591 --> 00:12:18.956 His federal employees are getting laid off.
00:12:18.956 --> 00:12:21.363 The world is coming to an end.
00:12:21.363 --> 00:12:23.413 Chicken Little syndrome, I call it right.
00:12:23.413 --> 00:12:24.437 The sky is falling.
00:12:24.437 --> 00:12:25.299 The sky is falling.
00:12:25.299 --> 00:12:30.280 But at the end of the day, stuart, yeah, let's focus on the negatives here.
00:12:30.481 --> 00:12:37.714 Okay, donald Trump still want to slap tariffs on everybody and cost of living is going to go up, and it probably will.
00:12:37.714 --> 00:12:46.964 If he does that, okay, but like everything else, if he is the president, and that's what he wants to do, you guys, you have a choice in about four years Vote him out.
00:12:46.964 --> 00:12:50.399 You know they're trying to use terms like dictator again.
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.753 They're back to that he's.
00:12:51.753 --> 00:12:52.255 You know what.
00:12:52.255 --> 00:12:54.350 You know a friend of mine sent me a message yesterday.
00:12:54.350 --> 00:12:55.655 You know why they're doing this right, david?
00:12:55.655 --> 00:12:56.956 You understand why they're doing this right.
00:12:56.956 --> 00:12:58.576 It's because it's a smoke screen.
00:12:58.576 --> 00:13:01.110 They're trying to do something Because you notice.
00:13:01.331 --> 00:13:05.456 Look what he's doing with Putin and look what are you talking about.
00:13:05.456 --> 00:13:07.058 Listen, he wants to be a dictator.
00:13:07.058 --> 00:13:07.840 He wants to be a king.
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:12.505 You know there was a video floating around Instagram about King Trump.
00:13:12.505 --> 00:13:15.679 You know, like guys, I got to tell you something.
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:22.743 The statements made the panic that you are trying to create.
00:13:22.743 --> 00:13:31.099 Yes, you hate I hate these tariff businesses because I think it's a disruptor, but I don't think he's becoming a king.
00:13:31.099 --> 00:13:34.379 You can't become a king when you've got your branches of government.
00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:49.436 There are checks and balances, but what is happening here is and I love this one, stuart, this was the best Lefties were accusing Donald Trump of what Stacking the Supreme Court.
00:13:49.436 --> 00:13:50.879 I'm like, wait a minute.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:59.438 Five minutes ago, you wanted to have 11 judges and they should be all lefties.
00:13:59.438 --> 00:14:01.808 Trump hasn't even talked about the Supreme Court, but he's threatening to stack the Supreme Court.
00:14:01.808 --> 00:14:03.931 Gotta love it, David.
00:14:04.511 --> 00:14:28.047 It's grasping at straws and I wished the Democrats, not the politicians, called out their representatives for their insider trading, for their wealth that they created on the backs of Americans for the deals that they made to enrich themselves.
00:14:28.047 --> 00:14:29.368 Oh no, no, hang on a second.
00:14:31.009 --> 00:14:32.716 You're repeating the same thing.
00:14:32.716 --> 00:14:34.355 You're repeating it again.
00:14:34.355 --> 00:14:40.878 My friend, Our listeners, whoever's here has heard this again yeah, the Democrats lined their pockets.
00:14:40.878 --> 00:14:43.297 The Democrats have done all this stuff.
00:14:43.297 --> 00:14:46.759 But you want to know, Stuart, I'm going to ask you this question so that you can get rid of the crickets.
00:14:47.321 --> 00:14:52.318 Oh no, crickets are there for a reason Because you to ask you this question, so that you can get rid of the crickets.
00:14:52.339 --> 00:14:54.240 Oh no, I crickets are there for a reason because you're you're speaking to deaf ears, right?
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.562 No, no, no, the deaf ears is on the left.
00:14:55.562 --> 00:14:56.923 I'm gonna ask you this.
00:14:56.923 --> 00:14:59.466 I'm gonna ask you yeah, that's what my question is going to be.
00:14:59.466 --> 00:15:15.456 About the right, you talked about messaging and in a, in a slam dunk election, in a slam dunk election, do you hear that the democrats, in one month, still hasn't figured out what why they lost?
00:15:16.640 --> 00:15:23.114 no, I I think the democrats haven't figured out how they spent over a billion dollars and lost an election.
00:15:23.114 --> 00:15:28.041 I haven't heard any of the donors get upset about a billion dollars.
00:15:28.041 --> 00:15:29.222 I don't know how they are.
00:15:29.222 --> 00:15:36.972 They spend a billion dollars paying for ABC producers.
00:15:36.972 --> 00:15:44.297 I don't know how a billion dollars got spent and enriched all these left wing organizations and they still did not win.
00:15:44.356 --> 00:15:44.677 David.
00:15:44.677 --> 00:15:46.397 So you want to know what's interesting.
00:15:46.397 --> 00:15:57.815 There is a she she's been interviewed quite a few times and her name escapes me, but she was on the finance committee and she said there are donors out there.
00:15:57.815 --> 00:16:05.275 They won't come out publicly, but they're infuriated that they were promised one thing and the Democrats did another thing.
00:16:05.275 --> 00:16:08.663 I'm thinking why are you surprised?
00:16:08.663 --> 00:16:10.195 But, stuart, you want to know what.
00:16:10.195 --> 00:16:18.696 I think that, what's happening today, and the noise of the social media, and the noise of the media, my friend, we're not going to get any quieter.
00:16:18.696 --> 00:16:22.096 I think Stuart decided to cut me off, as usual.
00:16:22.096 --> 00:16:24.217 So, ladies and gentlemen, I'm done here.
00:16:24.217 --> 00:16:25.895 Thanks a lot for this.
00:16:25.895 --> 00:16:28.460 We hope you enjoyed your rant today.
00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.895 We found this a little fun.
00:16:29.895 --> 00:16:33.557 Have yourself a wonderful weekend, everyone.
