Why are the Democrats Losing Their Minds Over Democracy
Show Notes
Can the Democratic Party break free from its "Groundhog Day" politics, or are we destined to witness a perpetual loop of impeachment calls and missteps? This episode tackles this provocative question head-on, offering an unfiltered discussion on the Democratic Party's reactions to recent election outcomes and their strategies in dealing with political adversaries, including figures like Elon Musk. We dive into the U.S. government's international spending, particularly in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across countries like Serbia, Ireland, and Vietnam, and ponder the effectiveness of these priorities. Are these initiatives truly beneficial, or do they merely serve economic and political agendas hidden from the public eye?
00:00:07.028 --> 00:00:09.231 all right, here we go.
00:00:09.231 --> 00:00:12.336 It's a friday and you know what friday means.
00:00:12.336 --> 00:00:15.548 Let's go break it up, hype it up, baby.
00:00:15.548 --> 00:00:16.131 Come on, let's go.
00:00:16.131 --> 00:00:22.210 All right, welcome back folks to another weekend.
00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:22.852 This is it.
00:00:22.871 --> 00:00:31.574 We're the last rant of the week and you know when I say the last rant of the week, I would love to say this is the last time I hear from the Democrats and they're whining and crying.
00:00:31.574 --> 00:00:36.972 They're still crying in their coffees and teas this morning and scotches that they lost the election.
00:00:36.972 --> 00:00:38.585 They can't figure out why.
00:00:38.585 --> 00:00:46.332 They can't figure out why so many millions and millions and dozens of millions of Americans voted for the wrong person.
00:00:46.332 --> 00:00:57.993 They put an autocrat Hitler is in power, look what he's doing and they empowered Elon Musk, an unelected official, to destroy the country and ruin democracy.
00:00:57.993 --> 00:01:00.325 Are we done yet?
00:01:00.325 --> 00:01:02.567 Are we done with the hysteria?
00:01:02.567 --> 00:01:05.347 Do we need to medicate the Democratic Party?
00:01:05.347 --> 00:01:11.058 Give them, I don't know, xanax or something, because the hysteria is off the charts.
00:01:11.078 --> 00:01:12.462 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Rant Network.
00:01:12.462 --> 00:01:14.427 I'm David Solomon, he is Stuart Briscoe.
00:01:14.427 --> 00:01:24.436 This is the Rant Network, with the unedited, uncensored, unfiltered and definitely unapologetic conversations about everything to do with news, pop culture, politics and the quirks of modern life.
00:01:24.436 --> 00:01:28.450 Look, we go through these roller coasters of rants three times a week.
00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:31.221 We give you our honest opinions, our diverse perspectives.
00:01:31.221 --> 00:01:36.813 That'll make you laugh, think, smile, get angry, shout, especially at your politicians.
00:01:36.813 --> 00:01:38.061 Sit back and relax, folks.
00:01:38.061 --> 00:01:40.388 We're going to dive into another one of these absurdities.
00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:53.164 And again, you know, this week, stuart, was Groundhog Day and the Democrats showed us and if you remember the movie Groundhog Day, it was like the same day repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
00:01:53.164 --> 00:01:54.469 You couldn't break that chain.
00:01:54.469 --> 00:02:00.317 And it seems like the Democrats are caught in Groundhog Day because all they want to do let's impeach the president.
00:02:00.317 --> 00:02:02.302 We've already got an articles of impeachment threat.
00:02:02.302 --> 00:02:04.787 We're not even three weeks into the mandate.
00:02:04.787 --> 00:02:07.394 Ok, we're going to impeach the president.
00:02:07.394 --> 00:02:18.394 The irony is that the Democrats still think they've been wronged in the election of 2024 and have learned nothing.
00:02:18.394 --> 00:02:22.068 And if this week doesn't prove it, stuart, I don't know what does.
00:02:22.068 --> 00:02:23.572 What say you, my friend?
00:02:28.139 --> 00:02:28.902 Ruben Stewart, I don't know what does.
00:02:28.902 --> 00:02:29.445 What say you, my friend?
00:02:29.445 --> 00:02:32.498 Well, let's first begin that in the United States, different than many other countries, there are only two parties.
00:02:32.498 --> 00:02:48.483 There is the Democrats and the Republicans, and when you understand that both groups represent the United States of America and United States of America's values and to support Americans.
00:02:48.483 --> 00:02:57.342 So let's talk about USAID $1.5 million to advance diversity and inclusion in Serbia.
00:02:57.342 --> 00:03:02.069 $70,000 for Hold on, hold on, slow down.
00:03:02.550 --> 00:03:04.753 You said money going to Serbia.
00:03:04.753 --> 00:03:05.094 For what?
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:09.650 Advanced diversity and equity inclusion.
00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:14.729 DEI in Serbia, subsidized by the US government.
00:03:15.050 --> 00:03:23.384 Yep Next, $70,000 to produce a DEI musical in Ireland A musical on DEI.
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:24.906 Okay, so we've got a theme here.
00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:35.825 Go on musical in ireland, a musical on dei, okay, so we've got a theme here go on 2.4 million dollars for electric vehicles in vietnam that's important.
00:03:35.846 --> 00:04:06.817 Here's another one 47 000 for a transgender opera in colombia in colombia, yeah 32 000 for a transgender comic book in peru in peru, two million dollars for sex change and l activism in Guatemala.
00:04:06.817 --> 00:04:10.986 It gets better.
00:04:10.986 --> 00:04:16.492 $6 million to fund tourism in Egypt.
00:04:16.492 --> 00:04:21.149 Now, david, while I'm talking, why do you look how much money the US government gives to Egypt?
00:04:21.149 --> 00:04:25.661 Because every dollar given to Israel is paired to every dollar given to Egypt.
00:04:25.661 --> 00:04:31.420 But over and above that, over and above that number, it's an additional six million for tourism.
00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:41.504 Now, hundreds of thousands of dollars shy of a million for non-profits linked to designated.
00:04:41.504 --> 00:04:42.908 Now, what does designated mean?
00:04:42.908 --> 00:04:52.274 The State Department has said that they're terrorist organizations, even after the inspector general launched an investigation.
00:04:52.274 --> 00:05:04.608 Millions to EcoHealth Alliance Now, if we all recall, there was a wonderful lab leak in a place called Wuhan, china, china.
00:05:04.608 --> 00:05:08.862 Well, we're still giving millions of dollars for research at wuhan.
00:05:08.862 --> 00:05:20.593 Hundreds of thousands of meals went to al-qaeda affiliate fighters in syria that's a good one.
00:05:21.156 --> 00:05:29.783 Yep, yep Funding to print personalized contraceptive birth control devices and developing countries.
00:05:29.783 --> 00:05:50.430 Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund irrigation canals, farming equipment and fertilizer Remember fertilizer used to support the unprecedented poppy cultivation and heroin production in Afghanistan.
00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:51.490 Oh, wait a minute.
00:05:51.490 --> 00:06:00.110 We're producing drugs out of USAID, benefiting one group known as the Taliban.
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:05.798 The list literally goes on and on and on.
00:06:06.377 --> 00:06:24.968 Now, if you were following the news, you would have seen all different members of our illustrious Democratic, progressive and non-progressive Congress and the House stand and cry out to fight, fight, fight.
00:06:24.968 --> 00:06:33.913 Stand and cry out to fight, fight, fight, fight in the streets, fight in the courts, fight in the legislative and fight in the streets.
00:06:33.913 --> 00:06:40.766 I'm sorry that my friend is calling for an insurrection and war and discourse in the streets.
00:06:40.766 --> 00:06:42.189 Now, wait a minute.
00:06:42.189 --> 00:06:45.180 They're arguing freedom of speech.
00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:47.346 I don't get it.
00:06:47.346 --> 00:06:58.430 Now the next thing that and, by the way, senator Chris Van Hollen was telling the world this is a clear violation of our laws.
00:06:58.430 --> 00:07:02.406 And USAID saves lives.
00:07:02.406 --> 00:07:04.762 You know, where are they saving lives?
00:07:04.762 --> 00:07:05.978 I'm not really sure.
00:07:05.978 --> 00:07:07.264 I'm not sure.
00:07:07.264 --> 00:07:10.502 Are they saving their economic guarantees for payoffs?
00:07:10.502 --> 00:07:30.661 Maybe saving their lives that way by not calling them out for being duplicit and fraudulent, calling for an insurrection, which should be an immediate investigation of the house and congress for inciting uh what insurrection of government.
00:07:30.661 --> 00:07:37.358 Wow, now the next thing that this illustrious democratic caucus is yelling that?
00:07:38.038 --> 00:07:38.839 Elon musk?
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.841 Now I'm trying to figure out.
00:07:40.841 --> 00:07:58.867 Were they yelling and screaming that biden's were what bringing cocaine in the warehouse, allegedly trading, trading, trading secrets and for favor for foreign governments?
00:07:58.867 --> 00:08:04.562 But elon musk, who brings some of the smartest people, I guess the government.
00:08:04.562 --> 00:08:08.240 You know, when you go into a job, you can't go and show how smart you are.
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:17.608 You got to ease in as a new ceo typically spent six months getting to know the culture and people before he terminates all these people.
00:08:18.110 --> 00:08:26.507 Elon musk, probably one of the most prolific businessmen of the modern era uh, at the likes compared to rockefeller.
00:08:26.507 --> 00:08:45.485 Not quite as rich as rockefeller by dollar uh, about 100 billion off, but getting there quickly, um, and bringing the smartest technology, people to use versions of ai and database management to find areas of fraud.
00:08:45.485 --> 00:08:46.466 Why don't?
00:08:46.466 --> 00:08:58.970 Why the Democrats so against sifting out dead people, bad actors, bad organizations and redistribution of American taxpayer dollars?
00:08:58.970 --> 00:09:02.339 How about to benefit American taxpayers?
00:09:02.339 --> 00:09:05.403 You know, you know this is what I am.
00:09:05.403 --> 00:09:07.686 Look, as a financial advisor.
00:09:07.686 --> 00:09:11.730 I sit here every day and you know what?
00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:19.648 There's an expression If you repeat the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.
00:09:21.017 --> 00:09:22.062 They call that insanity.
00:09:22.754 --> 00:09:24.543 Definition of insanity.
00:09:24.543 --> 00:09:27.023 Now, why am I bringing this in?
00:09:27.023 --> 00:09:30.085 Because David just loves when I pivot to another topic.
00:09:30.085 --> 00:09:52.904 You know this illustrious President of the United States, donald J Trump, who is not Mr Trump, for all you dumb ignoramuses that serve for the US government, as it was President Biden and President Obama and President Bush, it is President Trump, and you know what I have to tell you.
00:09:53.806 --> 00:09:59.057 What has gone on in Israel for 70 years has failed.
00:09:59.057 --> 00:10:02.923 For the 50 to 100 years before that it failed.
00:10:02.923 --> 00:10:16.017 So you want to know something for all those people that refuse to call what the Democrats are doing as an insurrection and as the quote, gazans being displaced.
00:10:16.017 --> 00:10:22.106 Well, I didn't hear cries of freedom from the Egyptians or the Jordanians.
00:10:22.106 --> 00:10:23.775 Or you know how?
00:10:23.775 --> 00:10:34.389 About the acknowledgement of the millions displaced in the Ukraine that have fled to and widely accepted in Poland, romania, england, france, germany?
00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:38.100 Why does no one want these people?
00:10:39.121 --> 00:10:55.280 You know the Democrats are the ostriches of the modern era and, david, I know I've stolen this entire rant from you and you're sitting there laughing, letting me go from topic to topic and just keeping your mouth shut, and you know what all that means is.
00:10:55.280 --> 00:11:04.048 This is officially an echo chamber, where David and I are in complete agreement in almost every topic and every statement that I've made.
00:11:04.048 --> 00:11:05.782 We are not against Democrats.
00:11:05.782 --> 00:11:06.225 We are not I've made.
00:11:06.225 --> 00:11:16.364 We are not against Democrats, we are not against gay people, we're not against transgender people, we're not against the Muslim religion, we're not against anything.
00:11:16.364 --> 00:11:33.187 But we are trying to show you and explain to you that in the media which, by the way, it's official Politica was being paid millions of dollars CBS produced a fake interview.
00:11:33.567 --> 00:11:43.104 You know all of this nonsense that was alleged and denied has all turned to being fact, and you know what.
00:11:43.104 --> 00:12:09.072 The only thing that prevented this from coming out was a stolen election, a bullet across the head of a former president, now current president, and the determination of the majority of the United States to elect without denial, to change the course of where we're heading.
00:12:09.072 --> 00:12:11.081 David, you're in Canada.
00:12:11.081 --> 00:12:16.386 Little Justin Trudeau has been given walking papers in March.
00:12:16.386 --> 00:12:25.852 I am curious are the Liberals having the same choke addiction that the Democrats are?
00:12:25.852 --> 00:12:46.230 Absolutely, he leaves in crystal ball, starting to show a bright light, that the light is shining on the fraud and ignorance that exists there, because I'm seeing in my Facebook, in my Instagram channel, insanity from our friends, people we grew up with.
00:12:46.890 --> 00:12:48.232 I don't understand it.
00:12:48.232 --> 00:12:51.418 Okay, well, all right, so we'll work it backwards here.
00:12:51.418 --> 00:12:55.668 Yeah, left parties don't learn from other parties.
00:12:55.668 --> 00:13:02.206 Okay, excuse me, the left, thank you, I'm sneezing on the truth.
00:13:02.206 --> 00:13:04.957 As my mother used to say, the left doesn't learn.
00:13:04.957 --> 00:13:07.842 The left doubles down.
00:13:07.842 --> 00:13:14.363 The left wants to yell at you and scream at you when you're wrong, when they think you're wrong, but they're not going to give you facts.
00:13:14.363 --> 00:13:25.383 Because, listen, that's why the problem here in the Liberal Party, you see, some of the people trying to run for the leadership are trying to get away from the Justin Trudeau policies, but they're tied in.
00:13:25.383 --> 00:13:26.585 They're hooked, lined and centered.
00:13:26.585 --> 00:13:31.059 There's not a chance they're going to get it and they keep coming back and doubling down on all these things.
00:13:31.922 --> 00:13:40.024 Now, what you said about Egypt you brought up Egypt and I did find you know they did.
00:13:40.024 --> 00:13:43.898 I did find it that Egypt every year gets about a billion and a half.
00:13:43.898 --> 00:13:51.624 Okay, now, the majority of that comes from the State Department, but $234 million comes from USAID.
00:13:51.624 --> 00:13:55.523 Now here's the crazy thing there's a good chunk of USAID going to Egypt.
00:13:55.523 --> 00:13:57.602 That makes sense on paper.
00:13:57.695 --> 00:13:59.503 I haven't read every single one of these things.
00:13:59.503 --> 00:14:03.807 You know water assistance and you know court automation.
00:14:03.807 --> 00:14:04.738 There's certain things.
00:14:04.738 --> 00:14:15.241 You know there's some good things in here, but then there's a whole thing about post-secondary education and then there's a whole bunch of other things for basic Egyptian education.
00:14:15.241 --> 00:14:28.101 And I'm asking myself, you know, if we put good money and bad money, stuart, and you're right, if we put these two together, it's bad money and you can't just say, just because there's some good in there, all of it is good.
00:14:28.101 --> 00:14:33.671 You need to audit and you need to clean up the crap is good.
00:14:33.671 --> 00:14:46.860 You need to audit and you need to clean up the crap, because if you're going to send $8.3 million per year for this Egyptian pioneer activity post-secondary education and you're going to tell me that that's good, I beg to differ.
00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:48.423 We need to reassess.
00:14:49.171 --> 00:14:52.743 I don't want to just jump on you because I talked the whole rant, david.
00:14:52.743 --> 00:15:02.282 The government told USAID to pause all checks Pause and they refused.
00:15:02.282 --> 00:15:22.106 They were performing an insurrection by that statement and that act alone, and the denial and termination of all is as a result of their stupidity of not abiding by what the government that's elected and put into power requested.
00:15:22.106 --> 00:15:25.360 That's a fact that isn't even circulating yet.
00:15:26.291 --> 00:15:28.398 Now listen, it's not going to circulate.
00:15:28.398 --> 00:15:29.240 And you know what?
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.514 Again, I go back to.
00:15:31.514 --> 00:15:34.361 What is it that we're constantly doing?
00:15:34.361 --> 00:15:36.634 And I get the USAID especially.
00:15:36.634 --> 00:15:45.662 There's money being allocated for what they call conflict, peace and security, and I'm all in favor of a lot of this Food emergency response, absolutely.
00:15:45.662 --> 00:15:57.566 I just see right now here, $426 million goes annually to Iraq, for example, of which that money, you know, $95 million is coming from USAID, and I get it.
00:15:58.051 --> 00:16:13.206 There is a good part of it, but there's also a dirty part of it, and it's the dirty part that pisses me off and that's the furthering of the Democratic Party's policies, the DEI policies that they've rammed through and really ruined.
00:16:13.206 --> 00:16:15.174 And this is it.
00:16:15.174 --> 00:16:27.450 And when you hear again and again and again the AOCs screaming and yelling about the improprieties and the Maxine Waters and the threats, you know you're on the right side.
00:16:27.450 --> 00:16:35.014 You know that there is a skeleton in their closet that they're petrified is going to be exposed and these DEI programs.
00:16:35.014 --> 00:16:37.902 I have no freaking clue, yeah, yeah, great.
00:16:37.902 --> 00:16:44.556 I have no freaking clue why you know the Democrats are.
00:16:44.556 --> 00:16:47.903 You know the media is going to give the Democrats a pass every time.
00:16:50.394 --> 00:17:06.198 I just threw up on the screen and we got to wrap this, but David and I know I took the whole rant by by a monologue USAID this is about an hour old, just in the press was involved in a 2009 attempt to coup in Moldova.
00:17:06.198 --> 00:17:18.259 Now you know you can't make this up because I just discovered this whole whole new news thing that I can pull up on USAID and it's just mind boggling.
00:17:18.378 --> 00:17:18.760 Let's do it.
00:17:18.760 --> 00:17:24.163 We're going to see when they do the audit how much dirt they're going to uncover.
00:17:24.163 --> 00:17:26.317 And it petrifies the left.
00:17:26.317 --> 00:17:37.015 And the whole point I'm trying to get at is that when you hear those eccentrics, you know the right has their eccentrics and the left has their eccentrics.
00:17:37.015 --> 00:17:45.200 And when you hear we're going to call for articles of impeachment because how dare donald trump audit the president?
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:50.198 The president has the right to do this and they're calling it undemocratic.
00:17:50.198 --> 00:17:56.737 It's undemocratic to check your trillions of dollars of tax money to find out where it's being allocated.
00:17:56.737 --> 00:18:00.854 This is the point I'm trying to understand and to go to Stuart's point.
00:18:00.854 --> 00:18:01.976 With this I'm going to wrap up.
00:18:02.597 --> 00:18:05.523 What is going on in Gaza?
00:18:05.523 --> 00:18:13.021 And you hear the left meltdown again back to the same mantras ethnic cleansing how dare you do it?
00:18:13.021 --> 00:18:13.982 Blah, blah, blah.
00:18:13.982 --> 00:18:15.224 The double standard.
00:18:15.770 --> 00:18:30.425 Once again, the Democrats have learned nothing and the scary part is that left governments like Sweden, canada and other places are welcoming in people that the Arab world doesn't want.
00:18:30.425 --> 00:18:32.296 Let me say that again.
00:18:32.296 --> 00:18:36.056 The West is letting in people that the Arab world doesn't want.
00:18:36.056 --> 00:18:39.369 Let me say that again, the West is letting in people that the Arab world doesn't want, but the Arab world is insisting that no one is to touch Palestine.
00:18:39.369 --> 00:18:41.094 Palestine has to be built.
00:18:41.094 --> 00:18:45.165 You can't do anything but welcome them into your country.
00:18:45.165 --> 00:18:46.910 Ask yourself why.
00:18:46.910 --> 00:18:52.157 Ask yourself why and it's called radical Islam, and the left won't let you say that.
00:18:52.157 --> 00:19:02.237 The left will not let you go there, and that is why they're calling for these insurrections, violence, because that is the left's way.
00:19:02.237 --> 00:19:05.863 And they've tied their horse to these radical Muslims.
00:19:05.863 --> 00:19:17.756 They've tied themselves to these crazy DEI programs and they've convinced people that DEI, the elimination of DEI, is racism.
00:19:17.756 --> 00:19:31.683 They've convinced people that and I heard it on a CNN interview, stuart, where an African-American woman said if it wasn't for DEI, I wouldn't be hired, but I was the lowest paid person you know and whose government Biden and Obama.
00:19:31.683 --> 00:19:33.836 So what did DEI really do?
00:19:33.836 --> 00:19:38.737 Okay, and God forbid you're to actually take the time to audit these programs.
00:19:38.737 --> 00:19:44.114 Do what I want, shut up, and I get to run the place like I want to.
00:19:44.114 --> 00:19:47.382 If that's not a threat to democracy, I don't know what is.
00:19:47.382 --> 00:19:49.330 And thank you to the Democrats, stuart.
00:19:49.330 --> 00:19:50.590 Any last word?
00:19:50.590 --> 00:19:54.553 Yeah, there we go.
