Are Americans more divided than ever as the USA turns 250? As Americans celebrate a milestone in their nation’s story, it’s impossible to ignore the rifts that define the current landscape. Once, patriotism brought Americans together; now, political identity too often tears them apart.
In our latest unfiltered podcast episode, we dive deep into what it means to be American today. Is unity still possible when every victory is dismissed and every leader’s motives questioned? Are we drifting away from the founding ideals, or can Americans still reignite the spirit that once bound us all?
From coast to coast, discover how Americans are redefining patriotism—and what it will take to bridge the divides.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Happy July 4th, america.
Your 250th year, 1776.
My goodness, it's crazy tobelieve that this is it.
But you know, after 450 years,one thing you can say that is
certain as sure as can be thatpolitical divide just doesn't
stop that, if you are on theleft, if you're a Democrat today
(00:25):
, there's not every Republicanthat wakes up in the morning is
flawed, and that everything thata Republican says is wrong, and
that everything that aconservative will bring about is
wrong.
But you know, stuart, I've gotto tell you, if the Founding
Fathers would be alive today,they'd be scratching their heads
going.
We're fighting over what youknow.
(00:47):
It's an amazing thing to seewhat has happened, how people
deal right now, today, in 2025,when it comes to politics.
That we are going to fight overa very ultra small minority and
transgender, and that will bemore important than anything
else.
That Islamophobia is justdominating to that extent that
(01:08):
we allowed anarchy to be part ofour everyday lives.
That, when all is said and done, when Donald Trump tries to put
law and order back in place, Ithink the founding fathers would
be looking at this going.
What the hell did you guys getwrong here?
This is not the country we saidwe wanted to build, but then
again the left will say that thefounding fathers were a bunch
(01:29):
of slave owners and bastards, sowe shouldn't be listening to
them anyways.
Hey everybody, welcome back tothe July 4th edition of the Rent
Network.
I'm David Solomon, the Canadianwho dealt with this.
On Tuesday, our birthday.
You're now dealing with yoursafter 250 years.
Congratulations.
I hope you blow up the candles.
Okay, this is the Rant Network,where Stuart is down in Florida.
(01:49):
I'm in Montreal and we do thisevery Monday, wednesday, friday
at noon Eastern.
Essentially, folks, what we do,it's simple.
We're unedited, uncensored,unfiltered, and we're definitely
not unapologetic.
So what we do is we talk abouteverything from politics to pop
culture, to modern life, to allkinds of things.
This is brute honesty at itsbest Our opinions, your opinions
(02:12):
that you've shared with us.
Whether it's on YouTubechannels, personal DMs, you name
it, it doesn't make adifference.
So sit back, folks, as wecelebrate America's birthday.
Stuart, I'm going to tell you Iremember the first time I came
to the United States and Ivisited it in 1977.
So it was the year after thegreat bicentennial and people
(02:39):
had American flags waving ontheir decks, that people were
proud to be American, you hadthe Soviet threat you had even
with Jimmy Carter in office.
It didn't make a difference.
The pride to be an American,regardless if you were on the
left or the right, democratic orRepublican, you're proud to be
(03:00):
an American Today.
I scratch my head Of all thepeople who claim to be proud to
be an American Today.
I scratch my head All thepeople who claim to be proud to
be living in the United Statesbut they're not proud Americans
because of Donald Trump.
I can't stand that.
What do you say, you, mrAmerican?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, I'm going to steal your green room comment.
The black dot on the whitecanvas.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
And if you stare long enough.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You know that's probably the most accurate
statement that we're going togive you.
You know the US Supreme Courtdecided the legality of
transgender in school sports ban.
The Supreme Court gave in USculture wars against transgender
.
The Supreme Court gave in USculture wars against transgender
.
And Trump visits Iowa to kickoff the 250 year and reassures
(03:55):
farmers that trade's going to beon their side.
Us judge blocks Trump asylumban, saying that you exceeded
your order, which likely thejudge will be eviscerated yet
again as the left tries to takeeverything that this man says
and throws it down the toilet.
Let's also take that 147 000jobs are created.
But you know what?
That's not a punt either.
(04:16):
That's like.
But the economy isn't goingwhere.
Why aren't oil prices spiking?
Well, it's because of there'stension.
I mean, there is nothing that'sgood in America.
That's good enough for the left.
Everything has to be spun in anawful, awful way.
You know what that's?
A party that has no standingand no morals.
(04:38):
Why do I say that?
If you have nothing good to say, you have to say something
shitty about the other party.
If you have nothing good to say, you have to say something
shitty about the other party Ifyou have no platform in which to
run from or run off of, youhave to say something shitty.
This became really apparent backwhen the Bushes were running,
where the left started thisbanter.
(04:59):
Well, because Bush, because ofBush, let's blame Bush, let's
blame Bush.
So now let's blame Trump.
Let's blame Bush, let's blameBush.
So now let's blame Trump, let'sblame Trump, let's blame Trump.
But meanwhile, let's not blameObama, let's not blame Clinton,
let's not blame, oh, biden.
It's all Trump, trump, trump,trump and the mega bill that's
(05:19):
getting held up by AkeemJeffries on his five-hour tirade
, which seems like a binder thatnever ends.
I think that his aide actuallyhad a backup binder for him to
go for another five hours to tryand delay and make a mockery of
the US judicial system.
If the tables were reversed,they'd call the Republicans what
(05:43):
kind of names, david.
But this is something that hasbeen going on and on and on.
While NVIDIA breaks records asthe most valuable company in the
world, it's not a good economywhen Trump decides to sue 60
Minutes and brings them to theirknees, they're not at fault.
(06:03):
They're just writing a checkfor 15 million for trying to
create a structure in the UnitedStates that could manufacture
and give jobs as the world of AItakes over, and so we have
(06:24):
productivity and production herein America.
Can't give him credit for that.
The US dollar is dominant.
Brick is disappearing.
Can't give him credit for that.
You know, world peace seems tofall into place more.
Can't give him credit for that.
He got Syria.
World peace seems to fall intoplace more.
Can't give him credit for that.
He got Syria to a table, egyptto a table.
Now he's bringing Lebanon to atable.
(06:47):
It looks like the world isdeciding to see the value of
Donald Trump, whether it'skicking Canada in its proverbial
balls because Carney realizeshe's outgunned, outmatched and
barely has an economy equivalentto Louisiana, a single state
that is probably the pooreststate in the nation.
(07:08):
Yet Canada likes to pound itschest.
Now does Donald Trump's anticsand methodologies seem to be
abrasive?
Absolutely.
He doesn't come at you with aknife in your back.
He comes out with a knife andsword in front of him and says
guys, I have the saber you want,I'm going to swat you like a
(07:28):
bug.
But again he does it.
For what?
For the American people.
Why is he not a fan of theCanadians?
Well, because he's not here toserve Canada.
Why isn't he a fan of Europe?
Because he's not here to serveEurope.
Why is China all upset?
Because he is not there toserve China.
(07:48):
He is not a globalist.
He is the American firstpresident, something that the
founding fathers 250 years agotoday wanted this country to be
founded and based off of, andthe Democratic Party is being
swallowed up by socialsocialists that are on the
(08:10):
border, being called communistsand fascists.
So, david, here I am in frontof you after a rant about black
dots on white papers and don'treally know where else to go.
My computer just glitched.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So look, let me pick up the slack right now.
Let me read to you the oath ofoffice that senators and House
of Representatives are supposedto adhere to.
Right, I do solemnly swear oraffirm that I will support and
defend the Constitution of theUnited States against all
enemies, foreign and domestic,that I will bear true faith and
(08:52):
allegiance to the same, that Itake this obligation freely,
without any mental reservationor purpose of evasion, and that
I will well and faithfullydischarge the duties of the
office on which I am about toenter.
So help me, god.
This is what every senator andevery congressperson reads out
before taking office.
And yet I'm asking myself whyare you aiding and abetting the
(09:13):
enemy, the domestic it says hereclearly against all enemies,
foreign and domestic.
And yet here you are bringingin as the left guys like Zohar
Mamdani in New York City, whereyou stole his virtue, where you
(09:34):
let AOC scream and yell that theUnited States is a bad place to
live in?
You'll see scream and yell thatthe United States is a bad
place to live in when you havepeople like Akeem Jeffries who
wants to hold up a bill becausethey said oh, 17 million people
are going to lose Medicaid.
Read between the lines people,the people who are losing the
Medicaid that they were talkingabout are those people who are
actually not trying to getemployed.
They're trying to sit onwelfare for their whole lives
(09:57):
and Trump is saying I'm notsupporting guys who are not
willing to help themselves.
But this is all about politics,this is all about getting votes
, this is all about disruption.
And you know, there were times,stuart, where I said you know,
I think that Donald Trump, withthe rate he's going, is going to
lose the House or the Senate in2026.
And I'm about to tell you thatthat's not going to happen in
2026.
(10:17):
2026.
And I'm about to tell you thatthat's not going to happen in
2026.
Because the rate people, what'shappened is that these Congress
, people, senators whether it'sChuck Schumer or Akeem Jeffries
or all the rest of these minionsaren't fighting the enemies of
the state.
They are becoming the enemiesof the state.
They're supporting the enemiesof the state when you allow
(10:40):
people to stay in the country tospew the hate that you hear
whether it's against Jews or theUnited States or whatever and
you say no, no, no, we're goingto wrap the flag around you
because it's free speech, butthose same people burn the
American flag.
Why is it Donald Trump's fault?
And this is where I'm.
(11:01):
Listen, I'm not a fan of DonaldTrump.
I'm not going to sit here andtell you that he's my favorite
president.
He's not.
I'm not going to tell you thatwhat he does is great.
He's not.
I'm not going to tell you thateverything that he does is right
.
It's not.
But here's a guy who's chokedIran.
Here's a guy who went to Hamasand said final offer or I'll
blow your pants off.
Here's a guy who went to Europeand said we're not playing
(11:21):
these games anymore.
Here's a guy who went to Chinaand said no, no, no, no, that's
not the way it is.
Here's a guy who goes to Japanand said oh, you guys want to
take more time?
No problem, I'm still slappingthese tariffs on you because
you're not willing to come tothe table.
The bully in in the room?
Absolutely.
Is he the largest player in theroom?
Absolutely.
But what he has done to the USeconomy has been phenomenal.
(11:43):
What he's done for people hasbeen phenomenal.
You know to say that what he didin Iran a couple of weeks ago
means the sleeper cells in theUnited States are going to wake
up, and that's Trump's fault.
That's bizarro, because Bidenand Obama let the borders stay
wide open.
No problem letting all thesepeople in, because they're going
(12:04):
to vote for the Democrats, butyou let all these sleeper cells
lie low, and now it's Trump'sfault, because they're going to
wake up.
Kash Patel, pam bondi you knowall these guys leo terrell, all
these guys are fightingcriminals and the government is
being accused.
Even george bush jr has nowpissed off, is pissed at trump,
(12:26):
because what he did with usaid,usaid was a big fucking joke.
Yep, united states cannot get areboot.
Someone could press a button,like on your computer, stuart,
where you had a glitch, and wecould reboot the computer and we
could start again.
We have a problem.
The United States, like otherWestern countries, is stinky.
(12:47):
It's rotten.
There are a lot of things thatare bad because we've let a lot
of political nonsense get in theway and, as a result, the proud
United States that I talkedabout what I saw in 1977,
doesn't exist today.
Some areas, absolutely, stuart,and I'm sure as you drive out
(13:08):
of your office in Florida,you'll see proud Americans,
american flags waving over thenext few days, proud to be
American, proud, proud, proud.
And then I'll go to Californiaor I'll go to Washington State,
or I'll go to New York State andI'm going to see these people
going.
Well, the US should be blown up.
The US is bad.
Trump is the worst.
He's a king, he's an autocrat.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh, and the economy is not soaring with the highest
S&P.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It doesn't matter what the Dow and the S&P are
like for these guys, stuart,because look what he was.
Oh, he wants to fire Powell.
Well, because, listen again,what is he trying to do?
Ultimately, what are theyaccusing him?
We're going to cut Medicaid sowe can put more money in
billionaires' pockets, and again, all they'll talk to is one
congressman who makes thatstatement.
(13:57):
And you see, trump is a badpresident.
I'm trying to understand howpeople think that they can live
in an economy where you're goingto pay more taxes.
Trust me as someone who pays abloody hell lot of taxes.
You don't want what I have.
You don't want what I've gotright now?
Ok.
(14:17):
You don't want the medicalsystem.
You don't want what I've gotright now?
Okay.
You don't want the medicalsystem that I have right now.
You don't want, you know, thewelfare system that we have
right now.
You want it?
Okay, you'll be in big trouble.
What Trump is trying to do isto fix what has been broken for
so many generations.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh for over so many presidents.
It's not a democratic problem,it's a generations.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I didn't blame one.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's been, I'd say, a near 50 year or more problem?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well, I don't know, if it's Reagan or whatever, but
definitely it's been a problem.
But, Stuart, as we wrap up thisepisode, the last one before we
hit the July 4th week, what sayyou other than playing with
your?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
sounds.
What say you to?
Than playing with your sounds?
What say you, your fellowamericans?
God bless america.
God bless the united states ofamerica.
May it be safe for another 250years and may it destroy all
enemies, foreign and domesticand into that, ladies and
gentlemen, as stewart cuts meoff.
Speaker 1 (15:16):

Monday.

Here's a guy who goes to Japanand said oh, you guys want to
take more time?
No problem, I'm still slappingthese tariffs on you because
you're not willing to come tothe table.
The bully in in the room?
Absolutely.
Is he the largest player in theroom?
Absolutely.
But what he has done to the USeconomy has been phenomenal.
(11:43):
What he's done for people hasbeen phenomenal.
You know to say that what he didin Iran a couple of weeks ago
means the sleeper cells in theUnited States are going to wake
up, and that's Trump's fault.
That's bizarro, because Bidenand Obama let the borders stay
wide open.
No problem letting all thesepeople in, because they're going
(12:04):
to vote for the Democrats, butyou let all these sleeper cells
lie low, and now it's Trump'sfault, because they're going to
wake up.
Kash Patel, pam bondi you knowall these guys leo terrell, all
these guys are fightingcriminals and the government is
being accused.
Even george bush jr has nowpissed off, is pissed at trump,
(12:26):
because what he did with usaid,usaid was a big fucking joke.
Yep, united states cannot get areboot.
Someone could press a button,like on your computer, stuart,
where you had a glitch, and wecould reboot the computer and we
could start again.
We have a problem.
The United States, like otherWestern countries, is stinky.
(12:47):
It's rotten.
There are a lot of things thatare bad because we've let a lot
of political nonsense get in theway and, as a result, the proud
United States that I talkedabout what I saw in 1977,
doesn't exist today.
Some areas, absolutely, stuart,and I'm sure as you drive out
(13:08):
of your office in Florida,you'll see proud Americans,
american flags waving over thenext few days, proud to be
American, proud, proud, proud.
And then I'll go to Californiaor I'll go to Washington State,
or I'll go to New York State andI'm going to see these people
going.
Well, the US should be blown up.
The US is bad.
Trump is the worst.
He's a king, he's an autocrat.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh, and the economy is not soaring with the highest
S&P.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
It doesn't matter what the Dow and the S&P are
like for these guys, stuart,because look what he was.
Oh, he wants to fire Powell.
Well, because, listen again,what is he trying to do?
Ultimately, what are theyaccusing him?
We're going to cut Medicaid sowe can put more money in
billionaires' pockets, and again, all they'll talk to is one
congressman who makes thatstatement.
(13:57):
And you see, trump is a badpresident.
I'm trying to understand howpeople think that they can live
in an economy where you're goingto pay more taxes.
Trust me as someone who pays abloody hell lot of taxes.
You don't want what I have.
You don't want what I've gotright now?
Ok.
(14:17):
You don't want the medicalsystem.
You don't want what I've gotright now?
Okay.
You don't want the medicalsystem that I have right now.
You don't want, you know, thewelfare system that we have
right now.
You want it?
Okay, you'll be in big trouble.
What Trump is trying to do isto fix what has been broken for
so many generations.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh for over so many presidents.
It's not a democratic problem,it's a generations.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I didn't blame one.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's been, I'd say, a near 50 year or more problem?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well, I don't know, if it's Reagan or whatever, but
definitely it's been a problem.
But, Stuart, as we wrap up thisepisode, the last one before we
hit the July 4th week, what sayyou other than playing with
your?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
sounds.
What say you to?
Than playing with your sounds?
What say you, your fellowamericans?
God bless america.
