Why does the world stay silent when Iranian women are beaten for demanding freedom, but erupts in outrage over every headline about Israel? The hypocrisy is staggering—human rights should never be selective. From Iran’s brutal crackdowns to Venezuela’s collapse, it’s time to demand real moral clarity, not just hashtags and slogans. If you care about justice, stand up for those risking everything for liberty, not just the causes that trend in your feed. Join us today, as we explore this fallacy on The Rant Network.

SPEAKER_00 (00:02):
Oh David, it is the hope day.
SPEAKER_01 (00:09):
Oh morning.
unknown (00:11):
Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_00 (00:16):
You know, David.
Welcome everybody to the BrantNetwork.
My name's Stuart Bruce Glow.
That's David Solomon.
It's uncensored dialogue hostedby us every Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, New Eastern.
We've got current issues,political issues, cultural
blends and trends.
And every episode we sort oftake down a different rabbit
(00:36):
hole.
When we talk about freedom inthe world today, we often speak
in slogans, we speak hashtags,we speak carefully polished
talking points designed to makeus feel morally satisfied
without forcing us intoconfronting the hard truths.
But history doesn't move onslogans.
(00:58):
Freedom doesn't advance onhashtags.
And people risking their livesin places like Iran and
Venezuela are not asking forsymbolic gestures, asking for
moral clarity, consistency, andcourage from the free world.
Right now, Iran, courageous menand women are taking to the
(01:18):
streets, knowing full well thecost of dissent may be
imprisonment, torture, death.
Venezuelan families enduredhunger, power outages,
collapsing currency, politicalrepression under the regime
destroyed by one of the richestnations in Latin America.
These people are not confusedabout what they want.
(01:39):
They want freedom, they wantdignity, they want the right to
choose their leader, speak theirminds, worship freely, and build
a future for their children.
David, the question isn'twhether people deserve freedom.
The question is whether theUnited States has the resolve to
stand firmly, unapologetically,and consistently on the side of
(02:02):
liberty, on whether we havedecided to confront diplomacy
for its own sake and politicalconvenience matters more than
leadership.
Republican perspective is anabstract debate.
It's about how power works inthe real world and how
authoritarian regimes do notrespond to the Biden Democrat
(02:26):
goodwill.
They do not liberalize Westernelite issues, statements, they
pander them.
David?
SPEAKER_01 (02:35):
Yeah, no, that was what was well said.
But let's let me put it let meput the the very formal
presentation that Stuart justmade into real words.
Do we actually give a shit thatpeople in other countries are
getting hurt?
You know, it was interesting,Stuart, because if we go back to
the late 2010s and the women'srights movement that was going
(02:56):
on in New York, led by thatracist Linda Sarsur, she was
talking about how women arebeing persecuted in the United
States.
(03:26):
And we've seen in other casepast situations where women have
not only been beaten, but beatento death.
And there are, Stuart, if youdon't mind, crickets coming from
the rest of the world.
No, those crickets.
Not a UN condemnation, not asingle UN resolution, not even
(03:47):
an American statement standingup with the women of Iran.
Homosexuals, LGBTQ community,equally as silent as Iranians
who come out are beaten,arrested.
It doesn't matter because it'sagainst the religion.
(04:09):
These mullahs have been in powersince 1979, since the return of
the Ayatollah Khomeini in thelate 70s.
These unbelievable extremists,Islamic terrorists, extremists
changed the pop the face of Iranfrom a Western modern society.
(04:34):
That's what it was based on.
And yes, the Shah of Iran wasthere, and yes, it was an
autocrat.
I understand, but the society,people were able to practice and
do what they wanted.
And from 1979 till 2026, Iranhas gone in another direction.
Religious fanaticism has takenover the country, and freedom
(04:56):
doesn't exist.
Many have protested, Stuart, onthe streets around the world,
wanting that the ayatollah forthe Ayatollahs to be taken out
of power, to return to a timeand a place in which Iranians
were able to be free, not underthe persecution under the thumb
of the Iranian regime.
(05:18):
We've been here before, Stuart.
And apparently, according tosome human rights groups,
because God forbid you should doanything right, 29 are dead,
1200 arrested because they'reprotesting against the
government.
Now, you people who are in theUnited States and Canada and the
West who bitch about how badAmerica and Western society is,
(05:40):
because you've sat you leftieshave done this.
You Mamdani lovers have beensaying all along how bad the
world, the Western world is.
You don't hear of 29 deaths in aprotest, you don't hear about
1,200 arrests in a protest, butyou want to focus on January
6th.
You want to focus on yesterday'syou know five-year anniversary
(06:01):
of the attack on Capitol Hilland the attack on democracy, all
that bullshit.
But when you look at a countrylike Iran, which is needs a
change, you don't like it whenTrump brings takes Maduro out,
and you don't like it when youdon't like it.
But I'm not understanding howIsrael dominates the front pages
(06:23):
and the headlines from one newsmedia agency to another for two
million Palestinians.
But here, women, LGBTQ, you nameit, are being persecuted in the
streets of Iran in their homes.
The secret police comes andarrests people.
I mean, they're using pelletguns, tear gas, right on the
demonstrators, and you're allquiet.
(06:48):
They've been marching for yearsin the streets, hoping, praying
governments would stand withPersians.
They don't even want to come tothose Iranians, Persians to
affect change in their country.
Instead, you want to focus onanti-Semitism, you want to focus
on Jews, you want to focus onwhat happens to Palestinians
(07:09):
because you think that that getsyour votes.
Okay.
Because you think that in yourschools this is right, that
Israel is wrong is illegitimate.
But not once have you questionedthe legitimacy of the Ayatollahs
or the president, the so-calledpresident of Iran, who just
executes whatever the Ayatollahswant.
They fired indiscriminately on ademocratic country.
(07:33):
They meant to kill civilians inIsrael, and you all stayed
quiet.
When Israel retaliated and theUnited States retaliated, you
got up and said, Oh no, that'soff limits.
Why?
Why is it okay to go up andstand up for Palestinians who
(07:54):
want to see death anddestruction on a global scale by
these Islamic radicalists, butyou're staying quiet when
Iranians are begging for thesame freedoms that you have in
the United States, Canada, andthe rest of the Western world?
Stuart, I'm I'm amazed at theway the media has put this on
this proverbial back pages,these stories, that you'll see
(08:15):
one or two floating around, butthere's no outcry.
There is no outcry fromanywhere.
But when the president of theUnited States says we might go
in and do something, that's whenthere's outcry.
That's when the left wakes upand goes, Oh no, thou shalt not
interfere.
(08:35):
Why not?
David, clarity of purpose.
SPEAKER_00 (08:40):
Clarity says that we stand with people, not regimes.
Clarity says that sanctionsremain until real change occurs.
Clarity says that economicengagement is earned, not
gifted.
Clarity says America will notlegitimize tyranny for
short-term inconvenience.
(09:01):
Freedom's a movement of hope.
It's not freedom to do and hateat the expense of hating someone
else.
That isn't foreign policy.
Where in the United Statesthey're trying to correlate the
the the Jewish problem and theMuslim problem as being one and
(09:24):
the same by persecuting one andclaiming that the other one is
equally being persecuted.
It doesn't work.
Freedom doesn't follow thoserules.
If there is a problem in NewYork, if there's a problem in
Iran, it is the will of thepeople that need to be supported
(09:45):
by the government.
But it has to be not at theexpense of hating someone else.
SPEAKER_01 (09:51):
Yeah, but you know, here's what you're what you're
once again, beautiful flowerywords.
But let's talk, let's talkTurkey here, okay?
And I know mean the country.
You know, it's interesting thatthe Iranian armed forces went
into hospitals, hospitals tochase the protesters.
They, according to AmnestyInternational, if you believe
(10:13):
Amnesty International, becauseyou did for two years, you know,
with it with in Gaza, so ifAmnesty International is really
true to its word, then theIranian security forces did it
attack hospitals in Elam and inother places to where injured
protesters were getting medicalattention.
And you all stayed silent.
But when Israel allegedly,allegedly hit a hospital, which
(10:38):
it was proven to be wrong, youall jumped about the fact that
Israel killed 500 people.
It's the fascinating dichotomy,it's a fascinating double
standard that you all have.
I guess the only time you wakeup is if the enemy is a Jew and
not real humanity.
You are inhumane, ladies andgentlemen.
(11:01):
Those of you who are standingand only protesting for these
pro-terrorists, the Hamasniks,last seen in Manchester, seen in
New York, Ottawa, other places.
If you're standing up, you whiteliberals, with this group of
people, and you're saying thisis who I support, and ignore
(11:25):
Iranians who are under realthreat, you're not human, you're
a racist pig.
And I am labeling you the sameway you like to label Stuart and
me.
You deserve the label, youdeserve the condemnation because
you're absolutely proven thepoint we have made here for
years.
(11:46):
You only care about one thing.
You're a godforsaken cause tocreate chaos.
You don't care for humanity, youcare for chaos, you care for
hate, and you care to pushmovements that don't make sense.
You've seen the destruction bythe president of the United
States of DEI programs and youfreak out.
(12:09):
You know why?
Because you aren't inclusive,you are exclusive, you do not
include everybody, you'reprotesting terrorists, you've
just elected Mamdani.
Is this not proof of whereyou've gone off the rails?
Is this not proof of that youare not really true yourself?
(12:30):
The United Nations, once again,good old United Nations
Secretary General, has stayedquiet because he's in love with
the Iranian regime.
Where are the condemnations fromIreland and Spain and all these
countries who want to get rid ofIsrael from the Eurovision, from
these cultural events, but Irancan go quiet?
(12:54):
Is it because they're aneconomic power steward?
They're an oil provider, or isit just that we prefer radical
Muslims over human beings?
SPEAKER_00 (13:06):
Well, radical political Muslims.
I I like that I want to add theword radical political Muslims.
Add whatever word you I I thinkI think that it draws a line
between a religious Muslim andwho may be radically religious.
SPEAKER_01 (13:23):
Um I'm talking about the radicals who just want
terror, spreading of Sharia lawat any cost, invading countries.
Those are the people I want toget rid of.
And you know what, Stuart?
The truth of the matter is thatwhat did they start it fighting
about?
Collapsed currency, ridiculousinflation.
The mulas live a great life, lapof luxury, but they're telling
(13:47):
you that you have to live inpoverty, that you have to live
in in absolute disgust.
Because why?
Because Iran has been sanctionedby the global community over
what?
Your nuclear program.
That miss that you know, it'sfascinating, Stuart, because
Obama celebrated the Arab Springback in his early and on in his
(14:08):
in his uh in his regime, let'scall it, in his mandate.
And he celebrated that the factthat terrorists, it was the
Muslim Brotherhood that tookover Egypt.
And Americans and the media lovethis idea.
An Arab Spring.
Well, folks, where is yourspring now?
It's gone.
It's gone.
(14:28):
You are absolutely cluelessabout what's going on in the
real world.
If you just want to continuefollowing social media and these
entertainers who believe thatthey know the that they know the
answers to the solutions to theto the world problems, please go
ahead and follow these morons.
Please go ahead and follow theselosers, the people who are going
who right now don't have jobs,they don't have careers because
(14:51):
they've been because they areidiots.
You want to follow them andteach your children that you
know what?
Humanity is only for certainpeople.
Humanity is not for the world,the world, and it in the entire
world.
Bravo to you, David.
