Join us and share your thoughts here, on our social media pages and even recommend a topic for us to discuss.#therantnetwork #podcasting #opinion #podcaster #podcastshow #live #business #discussion #economics #politics #discussion #sports #racism #socialmedia #education #conservative #education

When classrooms become propaganda stages, learning turns into compliance. Start with a label and the debate is already rigged. The Rant Network takes you inside the modern classroom, where terms like white supremacy, safe spaces, undocumented, and illegal don’t just describe arguments—they decide them. Drawing on a first-year course at a University in Illinois, we reveal how identity frameworks, language rules, and grading power ca...
Free societies start to die the moment “feelings” outrank equal law—stop normalizing any ideology that silences women, erases minorities, and punishes speech. From campus culture to city policy, this episode of The Rant Network, argues that the only durable antidote to radical Islamic extremism is moral clarity and one standard for everyone: bright-line civic rules, a single legal system (no unofficial courts), transparent funding,...
Is the American media just a mouthpiece for political power, or have we lost the truth in a sea of partisan propaganda? In today’s episode of The Rant Network, we expose how news outlets—left and right—have abandoned honest reporting for narrative control, weaponizing facts and trashing the presidency for clicks. If the White House keeps granting interviews to those who distort and deceive, are we complicit in the erosion of democr...
Enough is enough: when leaders tiptoe around extremism, ordinary families pay the price—and Jewish communities are feeling it from a Hanukkah beach gathering turned violent to intimidation across cities abroad; this isn’t about politics, it’s about protecting people and rejecting hate wherever it festers. In today's edition of The Rant Network, we call for our elected officials to stand up, speak out, and demand leadership tha...
When art cheers on violence and boycotts masquerade as “morality,” the entertainment world isn’t leading culture—it’s poisoning it; from petitions to free convicted killers to music contests turned into ideological battlegrounds, it’s time to demand integrity over performative outrage. Join David from The Rant Network, as he reveals the truth behind these performers and how misguided they are.

Trump’s clash with Europe isn’t random—it’s a spotlight on decades of failed immigration and security policies. In this episode of The Rant Network, David and Stuart argue that European leaders cry “Islamophobia” while ignoring cultural erosion, welfare strain, and NATO dependence on the U.S. From London’s protests under Sadiq Khan to France’s Sharia law enclaves, the Rant Network insists Trump’s blunt critiques expose uncomfortabl...
What’s flying under the radar isn’t about Gaza—it’s about chaos being exported to the West. David and Stuart from The Rant Network argue that protests, boycotts, and disruptions across Europe and North America aren’t helping Palestinians but fueling antisemitism, anti-Americanism, and instability. From Eurovision bans to torch-lighting protests, we expose how extremist groups and foreign actors exploit Western fear, media bias, and...
When senators tell the military to defy the Commander-in-Chief, that’s not democracy—it’s chaos. David and Stuart rip into the latest controversy where six Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Mark Kelly, urged troops to resist “illegal orders” without ever defining what those orders are. The Rant Network argues this is political theater designed to paint Trump as authoritarian, while the media cheers it on. From Stephen A. Smit...
Fraud isn’t just a scandal—it’s proof government oversight is broken. Minnesota’s $250M “Feeding Our Future” fraud, ignored under Governor Tim Walz, shows how partisan media buries stories when Democrats are involved. As David and Stuart from The Rant Network argue, whistleblowers were silenced, oversight failed, and taxpayers footed the bill while the press looked the other way. If this were a Republican governor, it would dominat...
The green dream is a myth when the grid can’t even keep the lights on. Politicians keep promising a fossil-free future, but without infrastructure, everyday families are left with blackouts, skyrocketing bills, and EVs they can’t afford to charge. As David and Stuart argue, the push for “100% green” ignores the mining, foreign dependence, and trillions in costs required to make it happen. Until leaders invest in real solutions—like...
Your Thanksgiving dinner was ruined because you've stopped thinking for yourself. The political divide isn't just about policy disagreement; it's an ideological rot that has weaponized every aspect of our lives, from the classroom to the courtroom, forcing us to choose a side and abandon critical thought. Today on The Rant Network, we argue that the true crisis isn't the left or the right, but the blind adherenc...
American politics isn’t about governing anymore—it’s a circus where loyalty and betrayal sell more than policy. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation proves how quickly the left can flip the script: yesterday’s “lunatic” is today’s political pawn because she broke ranks with Trump. Just like Liz Cheney and John Fetterman before her, the game is the same—vilify, then embrace when it’s convenient. The headlines aren’t about solutions,...
"The G20 isn’t a forum for peace—it’s a stage for hypocrisy." While leaders preach climate action and unity, they weaponize the spotlight to settle political vendettas, single out Israel and the U.S., and ignore atrocities happening in their own backyards. From South Africa’s theatrics to Europe’s finger-pointing, the so-called “economic forum” has morphed into a smaller, louder United Nations—more about boycotts and blam...
Power doesn’t only shift at the ballot box; it shifts in courtrooms where lifetime judges can halt or reshape entire national agendas. We take you inside the legal map that has defined modern governance, tracing the path from district court injunctions to appellate firewalls that decide whether immigration, energy, and regulatory reforms ever take effect. With a clear timeline of cases, circuits, and judges, we show how a decades-l...
The UN isn’t a global watchdog—it’s a political stage where Israel is always the villain. That’s the raw truth unpacked in today's episode of The Rant Network. From Hamas’ refusal to disarm, to Western nations raising Palestinian flags while ignoring terror, we dive into the hypocrisy, the history, and the double standards that fuel today’s chaos. If you think you know the story, think again—because the facts tell a very diffe...
When a teacher tells a 5-year-old that Santa doesn’t exist, it’s not education—it’s indoctrination. We send our kids to school expecting them to learn math, science, and civics—not to have their innocence shattered by someone else’s ideology. Teachers are meant to inspire, not destroy imagination. Childhood wonder is not a political battleground. Parents must reclaim their role, and schools must return to their true mission: educat...
Start with the hard question: if lives are the priority in Gaza, why are the most basic commitments being ignored? Western leaders flirt with recognition while sidestepping enforcement. News outlets move credit and blame like chess pieces, spotlighting personalities over conditions. Campus slogans flatten history into absolutes that deny Israel’s right to exist, while policymakers treat symbolism as substance. So, if they wanted re...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
