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 political weakness to destabilize societies. The message is clear: this isn’t solidarity, it’s a coordinated campaign of disruption.

SPEAKER_02 (00:02):
Well Monday morning.

SPEAKER_01 (00:05):
Monday one?

unknown (00:07):
What?

SPEAKER_01 (00:08):
Monday noon.

SPEAKER_02 (00:10):
Yeah, well, that's Monday morning somewhere.
We'll start again.
All right, everybody.
All right, all right.
The world feels like it'sspinning.
Why?
Welcome back to the Rat Network.
My name is Surrey Brisgale.
That's David Solomon.

(00:32):
But let's step back for a momentand acknowledge something that
every person, left, right, andcenter, is apolitically
exhausted.
Every headline feels like it's awarning shot.
Every protest seems to be louderthan the next.
Every geopolitical crisis seemsto be connected to something

(00:56):
bigger, darker, morecoordinated, designed to shake
the foundation of Westernsociety.
And do you know what?
People everywhere are becomingafraid.
They're not just being afraid ofsuddenly becoming fragile.
They're afraid because the sensethat the stakes are higher and

(01:20):
higher, and the media isspinning it faster and faster.
When you talk about global fearsand disruptions and spreading
from campuses to the can to thecapital, from TikTok to foreign
battlefields, there's no placewhere fear becomes more
concentrated.

(01:41):
And when we're discussingconflicts involving Israel,
Hamas, Iran's proxies, and thebroader Middle East, there's no
bigger price than that.
Fear doesn't come from Israeldefending itself.
Fear doesn't come from extremistgroups exploiting civilians,

(02:04):
destabilizing regions, andtrying to export chaos to the
college campuses, to the citysquares, to the corporate
workplaces, and every medianetwork in the world.
Yet somehow the Western world isincredibly being seen and

(02:25):
scrutinized even more.
Isn't it bizarre, David?

SPEAKER_01 (02:29):
You know, Stuart, it's a great, it's a great
start.
And it's just it's it's um it'sgone but beyond the bizarre.
It's actually gone to the depthsof stupidity, and people are
just trying to turn the blindeye.
Last week I met somebody here inMontreal, and he's trying to
convince me that I'm aconspiracy theorist.
That what we're seeing right nowwhen it comes up to these

(02:51):
protests and what we see withall this stuff, it's just a
small fringe group that what'shappening here, you know.
Hey, listen, they're trying tohelp the folks in Palestine.
And I'm scratching my head startsaying, and I asked him, I said,
Let me ask you a stupidquestion.
How is ramming a car through amarketplace in Germany helping
the people in Palestine?

(03:14):
He looked at me like, what areyou talking about?
I said, every Christmas for thelast couple of years, someone's
ramming a car through amarketplace in Europe, and this
year they have had to beef upcert uh security almost like
threefold because they'reworried someone's gonna try
again to disrupt it.
Nativity scenes destroyed inchurches, Macy's like and and

(03:37):
other places during BlackFriday, the Apple store, you
know, all these kinds ofdisruptions.
And then my favorite one is thatit's time to bring the torch to
Italy, the Olympic torch, andthey're Palestinian protesters,
quote unquote, disrupting that.
How does that help?
It doesn't, it's not even real,it's not even what it's about.

(04:00):
Nope.
You know, the interesting thingis whenever you go look at any
protest, whether it's Mamdanitalking about socialism in New
York or whether you're talkingabout something else, there's a
Palestinian flag because thathas now become the symbol of
oppression and rebellion.
What?

(04:20):
How does this help people inGaza?
Stuart, I'm gonna sidetrack forjust a second because there's
one one body left of a hostage.
One and the world keeps givingHamas this pass.
No, no, no, no, no, no, you'reokay.

(04:41):
Israel's at fault.
Israel's holding off on theceasefire, and we're gonna
punish her.
And I'm like, how does that haveanything to do with helping the
people in Palestine?
I'll give you another example ofwhat I'm talking about: the
Eurovision, the global Europeanmusic contest, which brings in
from public broadcasters aperformer for the song of the

(05:04):
year, the European Song of theYear.
You know, Stuart, Israel isconsistently been in the top
five for years in thistournament in this contest.
And you know who gets pissedoff?
Ireland, Spain, Holland.
You know what?
They now try to pass within theEurovision the opportunity to

(05:26):
what?
To boycott, to make sure thatIsrael cannot compete.
How does this help Palestinianchildren?

SPEAKER_02 (05:33):
I don't know.
Does it bring them food?
Does it bring them jobs?
Does it bring them safety?
Does it bring themself-determination?

SPEAKER_01 (05:41):
Well, hold on.
You know what they wanted to donow?
Bring Palestine in as acontestant.
So just want to understandsomething.
How does this help the people inGaza?
It doesn't.
What is created here today, andwhat people are starting to
maybe wake up to is what you seeisn't what you get.

(06:02):
It isn't really aboutPalestinians, it's about anarchy
and disruption and chaos.
And what you see even inMinnesota with the Somalis, you
know, when you finally point thefinger in the direction of where
the problem is, the woke folkwake up, spearheaded by Ilan
Omar.
How dare the president talk likethat?

(06:23):
This is not what it is.
And again, try to divert yourattention thanks to our friends,
the great alliance, media,politicians, universities, and
so and and the arts community.
This alliance of hate is tryingto create this disruption and
anarchy.
But you know what, Stuart?
You know who's laughing theirasses off?
Qatar, Iran, this whole notionof trying to create, you know,

(06:48):
this Sharia law, Stuart.
There is post after post afterpost after post that you'll see
imams, religious Muslim clerics,standing up in their mosques,
declaring Sharia law whereverthey are, and they are taking
over, they want to take overcommunity after community after
community.

(07:09):
And when there's a pushback,like Governor Abbott did in
Texas, he's a racist.
Ah, the term again.
This kind of anarchy, this kindof disruption has nothing to do
with Israel.
It's anti-Semitism at its best,it's anti-Americanism at its
best, and it's causes so muchproblems and and disruption, but

(07:31):
yet there you still have youryou still have your gays for
Gaza who still think that thisis all about them.
You still have your fatties forGaza who still think it's about
them.
You have your blacks for Gazawho think it's still about Gaza.
They've been duped, Stuart, andthey won't admit how duped
they've been, that they hookedtheir wagon to the wrong side,

(07:53):
as we've said from years now.
But now the truth has come outthat they're not about Gaza,
that there's another agenda inthere.
And that when you follow themoney, you find that these are
terrorist organizations slowlybut surely investing in your
infrastructure, slowly butsurely investing in your
community, slowly but surelyputting in people into your

(08:13):
community so that they cancreate this movement.
Look what's going on in placeslike Michigan and Minnesota, and
now New York City, in London, inBelgium, in other markets.
This is what's happening.
This isn't conspiracy theory,people.
This isn't QAnon.
This is reality.
David, but it's strategic.

SPEAKER_02 (08:35):
Israel is the stabilizing force in the Middle
East.
It's a democracy, democratically, it's a technological
powerhouse, second only toSilicon Valley.
It's the counterweight againstIran, a partner, an
intelligence, defense,cybersecurity, countertanism.
Let's be blunt.
If Israel were to fall in theMiddle East, and will things

(08:58):
become peaceful there?
Nope.
It'll become a vacuum, one thatIran, Russia, and China are
dying to see happen, right?
The Republican argument hasalways been strength deters
chaos.
Peace requires leverage.
Democracies must supportdemocracies.

(09:20):
The West must stand united,unapologetic.
Because if Israel's stability isnot in the interest of the West,
whether it's United States,Canada, or broad Europe, or the
rest of the world, the militantswho have zero ambitions for
peace will win.

(09:40):
And by the way, what about thePalestinian futures?
They're still banned fromJordan, they're still banned
from Egypt, they're still bannedfrom Saudi Arabia, UAE, and even
Qatar.
A stable Middle East would be aprosperous Palestine, a society
that everyone has interest in.

(10:00):
But they don't want.
The West has pumped in billionsof humanitarian aid, but it
seems to go without helping thepeople in which the world wants
to help.
Even the Israeli government goesout of its way to protect people
that aren't its own, that causedthe October 7th, that are
running in the streets,murdering and massacring because

(10:23):
of the brainwashing of thisinsane movement.
That you're right, you mentionedSoros.
It's not just George Soros, itis the heat of the world coming
down.
And Iran, who learned thislittle trick way back when Adolf
Hitler was coming up to power.

(10:44):
This is a continuation of theThird Reich.
It's not the Democrats orRepublicans that are the Nazis,
it is the Iranians.

SPEAKER_01 (10:57):
I'll add to your statement, Stork.
You're giving a lot of praise tothe Iranians, but I'll give you
one area also that you you mayhave missed.
Back in World War II, it was theGrand Mufti of Jerusalem, the
leading cleric here inJerusalem, who had an
arrangement with Hitler toannihilate the Jews.

(11:17):
The only only ally with Hitlerthat didn't have any
repercussions post-World War II,the Grand Mufti of Palestine.
He was absolved.
Not only was he absolved, he waspraised for what he did and
galvanized an entire movement ofthis.
This is what you see right nowin Hamas and whatever is the

(11:43):
evolution of the Third Reich.
The only place in the world thatembraced it and ran with it and
and built on it was the theseterrorists and the you know,
these terrorists.
And so Iran is looking at thisas like I could disrupt the
world by using this arm becausethe this is how duped we are,

(12:05):
Stuart.
The Iranians are looking at Westand going, boy, are you guys
ignorant?
Like, what do we call them?
Useful idiots.
And the world and Iran looks atthe West and say, Man, we've
convinced you through the media,we've convinced you in the
universities, we've gotpoliticians that you are afraid

(12:25):
to stand up to.
Listen, when you're afraid tostand up to Rashida Talib and
Elon Omar and the rest of thesquad and the Bernie Sanders and
now the Mamdanis, when you'reafraid because the media is
gonna paint you as a racist orwhatever, and Stuart, I had very
interesting, discreetconversations with politicians

(12:45):
here in Canada recently.
I'm not gonna name who they are,and you can't name them either.
You know what they told me?
They've been threatened, theyhave been threatened verbally by
that side.
Stay out of our way.
There's a fear, and what what'scrazy is that we're letting them

(13:07):
in these crazies, theseradicals, and this term
Islamophobia that is spreadaround wasn't created, it's it's
not an anti-movement, it's afear movement, that's what they
call it.
And they've exploited Westernmindset to death.
9-11 Stuart.
I was 20, think about 9-11 was24 years ago.

(13:32):
And have we forgotten?
Have we totally forgotten whatthey're about?

SPEAKER_02 (13:38):
David, those that are listening around the world,
the fear is not irrational, no,the instincts that you have
aren't misguided, the confusionis being invoked, the world is
becoming chaotic because chaosserves those actors.

(14:00):
The West, Israel, and everymoderate society is caught in
the middle.
The path forward isn't easy, andunfortunately, it requires
strength, moral consistency, andrefusing to be intimidated by

(14:21):
those.
Now, in reference to thatpersons in politics in Canada,
that I have a very strong ideawho they are.

SPEAKER_00 (14:29):
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
You have no idea what I'mtalking about.

SPEAKER_02 (14:33):
No idea.
Then I wish them the fortitudeand spine because being an
invertebrate to any and all onlymakes it worse.
Now remember, I live in SouthFlorida and I'm uh on on a
board, and the those that camefrom Russian like to threaten

(14:53):
like paper dragons.
Air doesn't scare me, David.
And I recommend that person inpolitics.

SPEAKER_01 (15:02):
Stuart, Stuart, Stuart, you're comparing apples
to oranges.

SPEAKER_02 (15:05):
No, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 (15:06):
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what.
No, no, no, Stuart.
I don't wish for upon youbecause in the last election
that I worked on here, I saw itwith my own eyes.
I heard it.
I also know of quite a fewcredible individuals, credible,
who have looked at me and said,The incre it wasn't that they

(15:27):
were afraid of what was said.
More so, what he this one personsaid to me was the gall that
that where that went, that thisis where it's gone to that
either you're with me or Ithreaten you.
Oh, I love the threat.
And it's like strength, David.
I love the strength.
No, actually, Stuart, I shouldempower them more Stuart,

(15:48):
Stuart.
When you're in Florida andyou're dealing with a condo
association, that's one thing.
But when you're talking, and Iknow the individual who laid the
threat, and I'm telling you,Stuart, it's not what you think.
This is where we're getting at,and people are afraid.
And at this point, either you westart waking up because if you

(16:12):
look at places in Michigan, inMinnesota, and when you have a
Glenn Beck who stands up andsays there's a mass takeover
occurring, wake up.
It's not radicalism, this isn'tTucker Carlson who's being paid
by Qatar to say what he's doing,it's not you know Candace Owen
who's doing these kinds ofthings.
Folks, eyes wide open.

(16:35):
There is a serious threat, andthat it's just percolating.
And if you want to continue towait and say, nope, it's never
gonna happen here, it's notgonna happen here, it'll never
happen here.
Yeah, they said that 90 yearsago too.
They said that 100 years agotoo, that it could never happen
on our soil.
It is.

(16:55):
Well, look at Europe right now.
Don't look at CNN, CNN won'tgive it to you.
Fox is not giving it to you.
Go watch the news in in placeslike England and in France and
Belgium and Holland and Spain,and you'll see the reality
that's about to hit yourneighborhood very soon.

SPEAKER_02 (17:16):
And that brings this episode to an end.
