Why Reporting on Certain Minorities Are Out of Bounds
Show Notes
Why do crimes and other realities from certain communities grab headlines while others fly under the radar? This episode of the Rant Network dives into the often-skewed narratives surrounding Minorities and Muslim/Arab communities and how these stories shape societal views. We question the underlying biases that drive media coverage and explore how these narratives influence political campaigns, like those run by Kamala Harris, that selectively focus on certain minority groups.
We ask oursleves how come we cannot have an open dialogue about all communities. If you do not agree with the Left and the Media with their version of reality, you are branded a racist. Does this make any sense?
00:00:03.045 --> 00:00:04.689 it's another awesome week.
00:00:04.689 --> 00:00:11.442 It's sunny skies in south florida, I don't know, but I think it's also sunny in the northeast.
00:00:11.442 --> 00:00:14.689 The weather has been absolutely fantastic.
00:00:14.689 --> 00:00:32.968 As we run down, 15 days before we all go and vote in the united states, as one would have said back in May, it's going to be a landslide Biden to the biggest coup in US history, kamala Harris, and that.
00:00:32.968 --> 00:00:36.393 She's got the vibe to get us to the finish line.
00:00:36.393 --> 00:00:42.508 And here we are with Donald J Trump serving fries at McDonald's.
00:00:42.508 --> 00:00:47.695 I wonder if he ate as many as he served, but that's another question.
00:00:47.695 --> 00:00:57.546 But if it was Kamala Harris, they would ask her questions like did you use enough skin stuff so your hands didn't get so oily in your face?
00:00:57.546 --> 00:01:03.445 But no, the media frenzy about Donald J Trump continues.
00:01:03.445 --> 00:01:20.873 But today we're going to go down a bit of a rabbit hole, one probably more controversial than most, because we're actually going to talk about something that you really don't know exists, because the media just is afraid to cover it.
00:01:22.501 --> 00:01:25.930 Now, now that I started a little suspense here, let me start off.
00:01:25.930 --> 00:01:26.902 Welcome to the Rat Network.
00:01:26.902 --> 00:01:28.308 My name's Stuart, that's David.
00:01:28.308 --> 00:01:33.105 He's my co-host or I'm his co-host, it depends what side of the screen we are A little hint.
00:01:33.105 --> 00:01:38.141 If I'm on this side, chances are I'm going to turn into a little bubble, and if he's on this side, he turns into a little bubble.
00:01:38.141 --> 00:01:42.084 But hey, who knows, david can swap our positions anytime.
00:01:42.084 --> 00:01:44.787 Here it's all about raw, unfiltered dialogue.
00:01:44.787 --> 00:02:01.582 We serve as an outlet as we voice opinion, exchange ideas from every corner of this planet and this issue as we dive into is a current event and we also cover pop culture, politics and quirks of existence.
00:02:01.582 --> 00:02:11.651 Whether we're venting over what happens today or we're venting over what happened yesterday, we're always going to be telling you what we feel and how we feel it, unafraid.
00:02:11.651 --> 00:02:16.788 So sit back and relax, because David is going to rant.
00:02:18.151 --> 00:02:18.873 David's going to rant.
00:02:18.873 --> 00:02:20.866 You know, ladies and gentlemen, I've got to ask you a question.
00:02:20.866 --> 00:02:29.350 While Stuart has all the whirling in behind him back there, what's whirling in our brains is why are we so afraid?
00:02:29.350 --> 00:02:31.954 That's my question for this morning.
00:02:31.954 --> 00:02:34.663 Folks, let me ask you this question.
00:02:34.663 --> 00:02:39.562 You've been listening to American news and you've been hearing about all these Latino gangs.
00:02:39.562 --> 00:02:42.548 You know whether they're from Argentina, cuba, venezuela.
00:02:42.548 --> 00:02:47.514 We saw what happened in an apartment complex with the Venezuelan gangs.
00:02:48.159 --> 00:03:02.370 There were attacks in New York City that made coverage, and it's fascinating to see how, again and again, how certain lawlessness individuals get media attention and are denounced by the media.
00:03:02.370 --> 00:03:06.830 Do you notice who's not on that list, ladies and gentlemen?
00:03:06.830 --> 00:03:20.573 Those Muslim-slash-Arab gangs that have been absolutely filthing your streets, destroying statues, destroying property, for the last year.
00:03:20.573 --> 00:03:43.354 Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, since October 8th last year, yeah, ladies and gentlemen, since October 8th, those gangs, paid gangs, those organized gangs have been going on and on in your streets, in your neighborhoods, in your community centers, in your parliament areas, in public places, in shopping malls the list goes on and on.
00:03:43.354 --> 00:03:47.792 Public places, in shopping malls, the list goes on and on.
00:03:47.792 --> 00:03:52.679 They've done damage, they've harassed people, they've assaulted people physically and verbally.
00:03:52.679 --> 00:03:57.251 All right, they literally injured police officers in the process.
00:03:57.251 --> 00:04:03.575 They carried weapons with them, but you don't hear that?
00:04:03.575 --> 00:04:04.457 Nope.
00:04:04.457 --> 00:04:05.662 How come, stuart?
00:04:05.662 --> 00:04:06.713 You want to know why?
00:04:06.713 --> 00:04:07.576 I believe they don't.
00:04:07.576 --> 00:04:25.814 It's because, once again, our friends in the media who have this absolute inclination that there is the oppressor and the oppressed right, and you and I, us white men, are oppressors, we're colonizers, we're the privileged class.
00:04:25.814 --> 00:04:37.764 So therefore, as a result, everybody else is the oppressed, but they decided to select who are the oppressed and who are not the oppressed.
00:04:38.670 --> 00:04:42.386 If you look in this campaign right now, it's very, very interesting.
00:04:42.386 --> 00:04:59.817 Just the Harris campaign focusing on African-Americans, the plight of the African Americans, by offering weed and by offering, you know, money to, you know, black entrepreneurs, men, and they're absolutely harassing men, black men, to go vote for Kamala Harris and if you don't, it's a threat to democracy.
00:04:59.817 --> 00:05:08.139 You're not doing your duty and that's okay, and it's okay to insult white people.
00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:12.105 Because you're white, you're colonizers, you're oppressors, no problem.
00:05:12.105 --> 00:05:15.860 And the Latinos seem to have lost some of that.
00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:20.589 These gangs coming in, these immigrants, no problem.
00:05:20.589 --> 00:05:24.418 Latino voters don't seem to matter so much in this election.
00:05:24.418 --> 00:05:41.694 Voters don't seem to matter so much in this election, but for some reason, this small percentage of the United States has suddenly emerged as the minority that should not have a microscope on it.
00:05:42.696 --> 00:05:51.951 Now I'm not saying folks, and be careful what you're about to do, because don't David, don't stereotype.
00:05:51.951 --> 00:05:53.774 Not all Arabs are terrorists and not all Muslims are criminals.
00:05:53.774 --> 00:05:56.098 I get it, I understand completely, but can we follow some trails?
00:05:56.098 --> 00:05:56.459 Please?
00:05:56.459 --> 00:06:11.540 Go to places like France, belgium, england, that have entire communities filled with immigrants from these countries and today the degree of crime, the percentage of crime, is at an all-time high.
00:06:11.540 --> 00:06:21.577 Destruction of property all-time high, welfare at an all-time high, unemployment at an all-time high and education low levels.
00:06:21.577 --> 00:06:27.300 If you're not asking these questions, who are you afraid to offend?
00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:39.759 Because I'm going to tell you something if you go to lebanon, jordan, uae, saudi arabia, you go to any of these countries they don't really care about you, they're not interested in caring about offending you.
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.478 They don't have this whole business of wokeness and oh my god, let me hurt your feelings.
00:06:44.497 --> 00:06:54.466 There's none of that there, but over here, we're worrying about people's feelings to such an extent that when we have business of wokeness and oh my God, let me hurt your feelings there's none of that there, no-transcript we're called racists.
00:06:54.466 --> 00:07:01.370 So again, instead of addressing the problem, you in turn have offended us.
00:07:01.370 --> 00:07:04.925 Well, listen, what do you think about all?
00:07:05.105 --> 00:07:05.247 of this.
00:07:05.247 --> 00:07:07.887 Well, hang on, let's understand the largest.
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.264 We lost your sound there, Stuart.
00:07:11.264 --> 00:07:11.966 We lost your sound.
00:07:12.225 --> 00:07:12.987 You lost my sound.
00:07:12.987 --> 00:07:14.250 You don't hear me we lost our sound.
00:07:14.831 --> 00:07:15.994 All right, there we go.
00:07:15.994 --> 00:07:17.483 We got you a little bit here, all right.
00:07:17.483 --> 00:07:25.266 So if you want to understand where is the largest concentration of Muslims in the United States, it's Dearborn, michigan.
00:07:25.266 --> 00:07:30.581 But it's not about the everyday Muslim we're talking about.
00:07:30.581 --> 00:07:36.589 We're not talking about the Western version or the 1970 Muslim.
00:07:36.589 --> 00:07:39.372 We're not talking about the 1950 Muslim.
00:07:39.372 --> 00:07:41.420 We're not talking about the.
00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:45.651 I want to get along with the rest of the world Muslim, and you know what?
00:07:45.651 --> 00:07:47.482 There's a lot of them, and you know what.
00:07:47.482 --> 00:07:48.603 I applaud them.
00:07:49.004 --> 00:08:06.307 Those that come out of the shadows, unafraid, like you, just sort of come out with this whole big rant, but the bottom line is that is becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of the current Muslim population.
00:08:06.307 --> 00:08:21.567 You have clerics that are radical, that have come from countries with names that didn't exist 60 years ago, 70 years ago, I mean more like 80 years ago, but that notwithstanding the amount of.
00:08:21.567 --> 00:08:26.267 Oh no, you're a racist, david, you called out someone that's Muslim.
00:08:26.267 --> 00:08:31.612 But you can talk about Latin gangs like it's coming out of style.
00:08:31.612 --> 00:08:34.688 These countries don't have penitentiaries.
00:08:34.688 --> 00:08:36.765 These countries don't.
00:08:36.765 --> 00:08:38.652 They kill them, they murder.
00:08:38.815 --> 00:08:39.789 They kill them, they murder they, just that's it, you're done.
00:08:39.789 --> 00:08:45.437 You stole something, they chop your hand off, you commit a Sharia offense.
00:08:45.437 --> 00:08:51.432 They stone you to death, they bury you in sand so people can spit and throw rocks at your head.
00:08:51.432 --> 00:09:01.033 You know, it is frightening to me, the ignorance of the media and the West, the utter ignorance.
00:09:01.033 --> 00:09:16.628 You know, I was at out on Saturday night with a Turkish fellow who actually is having a drink like everyone else, and we were talking about 1970, lebanon, 1970, turkey.
00:09:16.628 --> 00:09:35.986 These countries were pearls of the Middle East and you know the only thing that's happened since 1970, the literal perversion of the religion, the right wing off, the deep end version.
00:09:36.006 --> 00:09:38.392 You know, christianity had the same thing.
00:09:38.392 --> 00:09:46.130 You know, david, way back in the Crusades, they either killed you because you either got killed or you converted.
00:09:46.130 --> 00:09:50.291 So the Christians also have their version of this.
00:09:50.291 --> 00:09:56.763 We'll call it extremism, which was no longer accepted in America or the world, and that stopped at.
00:09:56.763 --> 00:09:57.163 Ooh, I don't know.
00:09:57.163 --> 00:09:59.865 A thousand years ago, david, you're the history major which was no longer accepted in America or the world and that stopped at.
00:09:59.865 --> 00:10:00.306 Ooh, I don't know.
00:10:00.306 --> 00:10:02.528 A thousand years ago, david, you're the history major.
00:10:02.528 --> 00:10:04.590 What was the Spanish Inquisition?
00:10:04.590 --> 00:10:05.490 I don't know.
00:10:05.490 --> 00:10:07.591 500 years ago, 400 years ago, I don't know.
00:10:07.611 --> 00:10:10.934 1492, it ended 1492.
00:10:10.995 --> 00:10:13.376 So I was close 500 plus years ago.
00:10:13.376 --> 00:10:28.880 So here we are in the modern era, dealing with a form of extremism no different than the Spanish Inquisition Now.
00:10:29.162 --> 00:10:31.385 David, the media didn't cover that event very well either.
00:10:31.385 --> 00:10:32.288 Yeah, but, Stuart, you know what it's.
00:10:32.288 --> 00:10:35.994 The fascination is what you're allowed to say and what you're not allowed to say.
00:10:38.464 --> 00:10:40.152 And again we're back to this whole business again.
00:10:40.172 --> 00:10:44.369 If you, want to go like, think about, think about, think about what statements have been made.
00:10:44.369 --> 00:10:47.660 We've talked about this in previous rants and folks go back to some of our archives.
00:10:47.660 --> 00:10:52.486 When Roseanne Barr made her comments, she got, she got completely canceled.
00:10:52.486 --> 00:10:53.879 Yep, canceled.
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:55.942 Okay, she made comments.
00:10:55.942 --> 00:10:57.344 Were they appropriate?
00:10:57.344 --> 00:10:58.323 Absolutely not.
00:10:58.323 --> 00:11:00.525 But she got absolutely smashed.
00:11:01.067 --> 00:11:03.229 And then you have the Whoopi Goldberg who makes a comment.
00:11:03.229 --> 00:11:04.470 You know that.
00:11:04.470 --> 00:11:12.017 You know, anti-semitism isn't racism because we're not dealing with a race, you know, and she only gets a two-week slap on the wrist.
00:11:12.017 --> 00:11:16.027 And again, this is just the way that the media houses have justified.
00:11:16.027 --> 00:11:17.089 Know this whole thing.
00:11:17.089 --> 00:11:30.422 But but talking about what you just did, and and I've had the same, in fact, I talked to somebody this weekend about tehran and I asked, because they they were in tehran in the 1970s and I asked the difference between tehran and now?
00:11:30.422 --> 00:11:35.496 And he goes david, tehran was a western city in the 1970s and today it's.
00:11:35.496 --> 00:11:36.600 It's a fifth century city.
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:37.727 You go there, it's more progressiveth century city.
00:11:37.727 --> 00:11:39.659 You go there, it's more progressive.
00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:41.821 He goes, there are progressives there, he goes.
00:11:41.821 --> 00:11:50.605 But the notion that a woman gets beaten up because her hijab is not on properly and we know she was beaten to death and you can't talk about it here in the West.
00:11:50.605 --> 00:11:52.532 You can't, okay.
00:11:52.532 --> 00:11:54.908 Where were the protests when this occurred?
00:11:54.908 --> 00:11:56.886 Women were beaten to death.
00:11:58.769 --> 00:11:59.352 Hey, no, no, no.
00:11:59.352 --> 00:12:05.970 They want to protest about women and men in women's sports, but they can't do that either.
00:12:07.283 --> 00:12:09.750 It's so subjective of what is and what is not.
00:12:09.750 --> 00:12:15.662 The media has decided what your importance is, what is important to us.
00:12:15.662 --> 00:12:16.647 They have decided.
00:12:16.647 --> 00:12:18.354 They've decided that, okay, we're not going to talk about, have decided so.
00:12:18.354 --> 00:12:24.222 They've decided that, okay, we're not going to talk about muslims because it's considered offensive, because they're the oppressed, they're browns.
00:12:24.283 --> 00:12:29.504 As someone put it to me, and this was how he put there are blacks and browns and we're all in the same boat with the oppression.
00:12:29.504 --> 00:12:31.850 And I'm like no, you have absolutely no idea.
00:12:31.850 --> 00:12:36.587 The moment you put in them into your bucket, you've combined's.
00:12:36.587 --> 00:12:38.030 No, it's not the same thing.
00:12:38.030 --> 00:12:39.634 Don't you dare tell me that?
00:12:39.634 --> 00:12:50.028 Because if you go through history and you see what Muhammad did, as you said, going to in order to convert people to Islam, just like the Christians did, it was a threat.
00:12:50.028 --> 00:12:52.041 You either converted or you died.
00:12:52.041 --> 00:12:55.519 That's exactly what happened, and it continues to this day.
00:12:55.880 --> 00:12:56.582 Hold on a second, stuart.
00:12:56.582 --> 00:13:11.054 It continues to this day, and you know the interesting thing is, check out a quote from Douglas Murray, ladies and gentlemen, who was a phenomenal person and one of the few journalists who actually likes to report the truth, and one of the few journalists who actually likes to report the truth.
00:13:11.054 --> 00:13:20.763 He said that the Pope is afraid to open his mouth about what's going on with Christians in Africa, because every time the Pope says something, there's a slaughter, there's a massacre of Christians in Africa.
00:13:20.763 --> 00:13:23.844 The West is afraid to do anything.
00:13:23.844 --> 00:13:27.722 No UN condemnations, none, zero.
00:13:27.722 --> 00:13:41.201 But it's okay to bitch and to shit on you and me because that's considered okay, but don't touch the browns, don't touch the Arabs and the Muslims, because they've been oppressed.
00:13:42.839 --> 00:13:44.765 Do you know what also is really amazing?
00:13:44.765 --> 00:13:47.394 The media.
00:13:47.394 --> 00:13:52.220 Just to point it out there when's the last time you heard about an Asian?
00:13:54.306 --> 00:13:54.927 Oh, please, no.
00:13:54.927 --> 00:13:57.423 What more do you want?
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.705 I mean it's mind-boggling.
00:14:00.705 --> 00:14:03.741 When's the last time you heard about someone in the Asian population?
00:14:03.741 --> 00:14:08.802 You don't, not even in the right-wing news.
00:14:08.802 --> 00:14:10.721 They don't talk about the Asian vote.
00:14:10.721 --> 00:14:13.034 They talk about the black vote, talk about Latin vote.
00:14:13.034 --> 00:14:14.217 Talk about women's vote.
00:14:14.217 --> 00:14:15.400 Men's vote black vote.
00:14:16.705 --> 00:14:17.206 But where is it?
00:14:17.206 --> 00:14:18.644 It doesn't count.
00:14:18.644 --> 00:14:19.815 It doesn't count for anything.
00:14:19.875 --> 00:14:22.924 You see, and this is what's systemically wrong.
00:14:22.924 --> 00:14:34.139 Instead of trying to put Americans together, canadians together you know, you don't you try and divide them into little subsections.
00:14:34.139 --> 00:14:38.489 You know where one American vote is different than another vote.
00:14:38.489 --> 00:14:43.879 Well it's truly what's truly disturbing to me.
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:53.048 You know what like as we wrap this up on Friday, if you recall, our rant was about how Harris decided how she was going to address the African-American population.
00:14:53.048 --> 00:14:56.692 Obama and all the rest of them was through mental games.
00:14:56.692 --> 00:14:58.139 And here we are again.
00:14:58.139 --> 00:14:59.222 It's a mental game.
00:14:59.222 --> 00:15:04.827 You're playing this to try to sway people, to insult people, to offend people, to influence people.
00:15:04.827 --> 00:15:09.097 We're not using logic and intelligence, we're not using real like you know.
00:15:09.097 --> 00:15:15.067 I'll summarize it like this You're going to invite someone over to your house.
00:15:15.067 --> 00:15:22.607 They walk in, they smash your dishes, they piss on your floor and you're not allowed to say a word.
00:15:22.607 --> 00:15:25.879 My question is would you accept that?
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:42.724 Apparently not, but it's okay in America, because the media said you can't, because we have offended the blacks and the browns to such an extent and we've oppressed them to such an extent that we deserve to get our dishes broken and to have our floors pissed on.
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.062 On that crack of a dish or teapot.
00:15:48.062 --> 00:15:50.041 It's a wrap for today's episode.
00:15:50.041 --> 00:15:52.061 A huge thanks Lending us your ears, your eyes, your time.

00:16:01.673 --> 00:16:02.575 How about that, david?
