Should America actually get a say?
You know, the thing called democracy that Democrats
supposedly love until it's inconvenient for them?
We would have to amend the 25th Amendment.
So here we are staring at fake outrage death wish politics.
Wishing death or illness on a president isn't patriotism, it's
(00:23):
hatred on steroids. Using a swollen hand photo to
fantasize about rewriting the constitution is the dumbest
thing I've seen all week. And I watched the TikTok
yesterday explaining how the moon is definitely fake because
it's not in 4K. Welcome to stay in the Fray
(00:46):
podcast. I'm your host Ryan.
This is where headlines get hit hard.
Hypocrisy gets shredded and the absurd are laughed at.
If you want comfort, this isn't your place.
If you want blunt and unfiltered, I'm your guy.
Join me in the fray. All you need to do is just
listen up. All right?
(01:07):
Hey everyone, let's talk about the US Constitution that is now
trending, and it's not because anyone's read it.
The 25th Amendment is suddenly the new obsession it was meant
for. If a president is incapacitated,
you know, like, can't breathe, can't think, can't function.
(01:30):
Not. He had a swollen hand at a
rally. Quit.
Call the morgue. That's right.
Trump's hand looked a little puffy in a picture, and the left
lost. What was little was left of
their collective minds. They're circling like vultures,
hoping the man kills over. They don't even know why.
Is it because Jimmy Kimmel said so in late night?
(01:51):
Is it because Taylor Swift hasn't dropped a single in 48
hours about Joy Reid tweeting something in all caps?
Or Janet at the fucking water cooler told you to?
Or your uncle who thinks he knows politics wouldn't shut up
at Thanksgiving? Or how about your super liberal
professor at Woke State University gave some sort of
(02:13):
lecture about it all? Happiest people couldn't even
explain what the 25th amendment is.
You could staple it on their forehead and they they'd still
chant. Unfit to be president Louder
than the gender studies class protest.
Protesting of free speech. And of course that means we get
the next round of speculation. JD Vance, the actual Marine, and
(02:35):
you can practically see the Liberals salivating,
brainstorming ways to torch him before he even gets close to the
big chair. Fake Marine accusations,
personal digs, whatever sticks. Doesn't matter if it's true,
doesn't matter if it makes sense, as long as it's another
dart thrown at someone, the wrong letter next to his name.
(02:57):
While we're at it, let's take this a step further.
Should we even allow vice presidents to just slide in
without a new election? Should America actually get a
say? You know, the thing called
democracy that Democrats supposedly love until it's
inconvenient for them? We would have to amend the 25th
(03:19):
Amendment. So here we are, staring at fake
outrage, death wish politics, and the kind of hypocrisy that
makes you wonder if these peopleeven believe the garbage that
they say out loud. And if you're worn out from this
automatic hate machine running 24/7 as well as woke fatigue
(03:39):
like I have, then welcome home. This is where you need to be.
This is Stay in the Fray podcast.
It is September the 1st, 2025. Let's roll.
I've got my dates all mixed up. It's been a long weekend.
Happy Labor Day to all of you here in the United States.
(04:01):
I'm working hard on it. So apparently Trump's hand
looked a little swollen in a photo.
That's it. No medical reports, no collapse
at a podium. Just a picture where his hand
looks a little puffier than usual.
Suddenly 25th Amendment is trending wherever you look,
folks. This amendment wasn't written
(04:21):
for swollen hands. It came after JFK was
assassinated because nobody evenknew who was officially in
charge when that happened. It was basically, figure it out
everybody. The amendment made it official.
If the president can't do the job, like if he's shot in the
head in a car here in Dallas like JFK, the vice president
(04:43):
steps in. It's made to be simple.
It was used when Nixon stepped down for Watergate.
Reagan actually invoked it when he was shot and went under
anesthesia. George W Bush invoked it twice
for colonoscopies just in case Biden did the same thing.
Those are real reasons. It was not created for swollen
(05:05):
hands or Twitter gossip. It was created so the country
doesn't have a panic attack every time the president
sneezes. And let's talk about the
brilliant theories for a swollenhand.
Maybe he hit it on a fucking door.
Maybe he fist bumped too hard. Maybe Melania slapped it away
when he reached for her fries. Maybe he's been golfing so much
that his hand finally looks likean overstuffed baseball glove.
(05:28):
I golf a lot. That can happen, who knows?
I've had worse swelling than that picture from grabbing
groceries out of my car in Texasheat with a left solid and boom,
they go into which cackle mode. Oh, is this the end?
Is he finally going down? These are the same people who
plaster Kindness Matter bumper stickers on their Priuses.
(05:49):
Love wins. Unless it's Trump, then they're
practically live streaming theirfantasy of him in a hospital bed
all over social media. And here's what makes me want to
pour a Scotch at noon. Most of them don't even know why
they hate him so much. They think they're educated.
They think they're not. It's feelings over facts with
(06:11):
these people. They believe that if you ever
admit that Donald Trump did something good, you've
automatically joined the MAGA fan club.
How about recently? Let's use an example.
Oh the fact that he has lowered crime and cleaned up the streets
in Washington DC. That's not just speculation,
that's facts. Armed robbery is down.
(06:33):
Homicide is down. Things that you haven't seen in
decades in DC have happened. The liberals are mad because the
president is lowering crime. How dare he make it make sense.
Don't even get me started on that asshole mayor in Chicago.
50 something people were shot like this over the weekend.
(06:54):
But no, can't let Trump have a win.
Their outrage is not rooted in reality.
It's rooted in the idea that acknowledging facts makes you a
traitor to your team. And now they're practically
salivating over the idea of the 25th possibly having to be
invoked. If it was invoked, it would mean
that something happened to our president.
(07:15):
It's revolting that they're cheering this on.
Wishing death or illness on a president isn't patriotism, It's
hatred on steroids. And honestly, if your version of
activism is zooming in on Trump's hand like it's a blurry
UFO sighting, you probably need a new hobby.
Here's the truth. The only way that the left is
(07:38):
ever going to beat Donald Trump is when he chooses to walk away
or when he's literally no longerable to serve as president.
Until then, he lives rent free in their heads, causing them to
scream louder than their studentloan debt collector.
And when he does leave, well, remember this, He's currently
training JD Vance. Trumpism isn't going anywhere.
(08:03):
It's evolving. Which brings us to the next
target of their tantrum, JD Vance, our Vice President.
Let's talk about the upcoming trendy punching bag for the
left, Mr. Vance. Now that they've convinced
themselves that Trump is 1 swollen knuckle away from the
morgue, the conversation shifts.Well, what about Vance?
How would he do? Well, with or without Trump's
(08:25):
swollen hand, the lefties know they're going to be dealing with
JD when he wins in 2028, so it'snot surprising that they're
already spinning false narratives and dangerous
rhetoric about him now. And of course, someone actually
said this, that he's not a real Marine.
What does that mean? The man went through boot camp,
(08:47):
combat training, wore the uniform, took the oath, did his
damn service. Apparently, if you don't storm
the beaches of Normandy or parachute into Kabul while
juggling grenades, you just pretend military.
Meanwhile, you guys have Tim Walz over here playing stolen
valor bingo, rewriting his military resume on LinkedIn like
(09:10):
its profile update. The same liberals nod along and
say, Oh yeah, Tim Walz totally authentic.
But JD Vance? Nope, he's fake Marine.
He didn't go to combat. The mental gymnastics required
to land that argument could power the entire California grid
and beyond. That kind of rhetoric is flat
(09:30):
out disrespectful to every service man and set every
service woman who put the uniform on but never happened to
be dropped behind enemy lines. Service is service, period.
And I thank all of them. And when they're not going after
his service, they're nitpicking everything else about him.
Of course they mock how he talks, how he how he looks.
(09:52):
I think he's an attractive man. They say he wears eyeliner.
I'll admit it, sometimes JD looks like he's got a little
eyeliner on. But have you seen that side
stare? Though he looks over during a
debate, he does not look soft with that eyeliner.
It makes him look like a badass.That little glance to the side
is not emo rock band, it's screaming Marine who's about to
(10:16):
choke out your bad argument likea boss.
And if Eyeliner is the best insult that they have against
him, then the man's already winning.
So please keep it up. Here's some more truth.
JD Vance is sharp, he's disciplined and he's grounded.
He didn't just serve, he built himself up from dirt poor
beginnings. He went to Yale, he wrote a best
(10:38):
selling book, and then he walkedinto Washington with the spine
of a Marine and the brains of a lawyer.
That's a dangerous combo for theleft.
Which is exactly why they're terrified of him.
You want to know how he'd do as president?
Well, First off, if the Dems runGavin Newsom in 2028, he'll mop
(10:58):
the floor with him. Biggest landslide in a long,
long time. Can you imagine that debate
stage? JD Vance with facts grounded,
common sense, actual service under his belt versus Newsom.
The thing it it, it looks like he's auditioning for the role of
slimy villain in the 80s movies.So yeah, the left is already
(11:18):
trying to kneecap him. JD before he even gets the shot
is deep down they know JD Vance represents something that they
hate competence. And worse for them, he's
rounding it all out with direct training from Donald Trump.
That's their nightmare. Not just Trump, but Trump 2
(11:40):
point O with Marine discipline and someone who, like Donald
Trump, truly loves his country. All right, so here's where it
gets a little messy. Let's say the president can't
serve anymore. Health, age, God forbid.
Whatever it is right now, the way it reads the 25th Amendment
(12:01):
just slides the vice president into the chair and says,
congratulations, you're the president.
No election, no vote. Just swap the nameplate and
carry on. But should that be the way that
it works? Should 330 million Americans
have absolutely no say and we get stuck with whoever was
picked as VPI? Mean Kamala Harris was 179 year
(12:23):
old Biden brain freeze away fromrunning the country.
Nobody voted for her to be president.
She dropped out of the Democratic primary before a
single ballot was cast because she was polling at roughly the
same number as a gas station hotdog.
Yet she was literally a heartbeat away from the Oval
Office. It's a little insane.
(12:44):
And yes, you could argue that that's why vice president picks
matter. Maybe we should treat the
presidential ticket as a packagedeal, like voting for both at
once for the presidency, just incase.
But don't pretend Americans wereactually lining up excited to
put Kamala Harris in the big chair.
That was proven in the 2024 election.
(13:06):
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to be a hypocrite here.
I call all of the hypocrites out, and I refuse to be 1.
If a Democrat president had to invoke the 25th because they
truly could not serve, I wouldn't scream fraud.
I wouldn't love that outcome. I'd like to, of course, have
another chance to vote the Democrats out, but I'd accept it
(13:28):
because that's how the Constitution is written.
The only time I'd call it out isif it was obvious that the
president was perfectly fine andthey just wanted to change it
up, which is exactly the kind ofdirty tricks we've already seen
from the Democrat Party. So here's the danger.
If we ripped up the 25th amendment and forced new
elections every time a presidentsneezed, it would be chaos.
(13:50):
The opposition party would weaponize it.
He coughed unfit new election. We'd be holding 5 elections
every four years, CNN would be bankrupt from hiring too many
holograms, and half the country would be permanently standing in
line at polling stations. Who even decides if a president
is unfit? Is it a doctor?
A panel of 12 doctors? Congress, please.
(14:13):
Congress can't even decide a lunch order without shutting
down the Supreme Court. I imagine letting 9 judges just
decide the presidency like it's American Idol.
Crooked, politicized, and a disaster waiting to happen.
And don't forget, the Democrats already pulled the most
undemocratic stunt of all when they yanked Biden off the 2024
(14:35):
ticket and shoved Kamala in without a single vote.
If Republicans ever tried something like that, you'd see
CNN and MSNBC meltdown so hard that Rachel Maddow would drown
in her own pathetic tears. So yeah, it's complicated.
And no, I don't pretend to have the magical solution.
(14:55):
I'm trying to stay neutral here.But I do know this.
Using a swollen hand photo to fantasize about rewriting the
Constitution is the dumbest thing I've seen all week.
And I watched the TikTok yesterday explaining how the
moon is definitely fake because it's not in 4K.
So there it is folks. The 25th amendment trending.
(15:18):
It was not written for Twitter tantrums, swollen knuckles, or
celebrity gossip panels. It was written to keep
government stable. But now it's being twisted into
fan fiction plot for people who cannot sleep unless they dream
about Trump dying. That's not politics, that's
sickness. That's Trump Derangement
(15:38):
syndrome. I'll say this, If Biden had
stepped aside and Kamala took over Kamala, however you say her
name, I'd have hated it. But I'd have respected the
process because again, that's what is in the Constitution
today. And it wasn't like we all didn't
know that Joe was needing arrest.
What I don't respect is this gleeful cheerleading for death.
(16:01):
I would never do that. This hypocrisy about who counts
as a real Marine is also pissingme off.
And the nonsense about vice presidents being illegitimate
until Democrats want them to be.So let me ask you now, as we
end, should we demand new elections if a president cannot
serve any any longer? Or is that just chaos waiting to
(16:23):
happen and we should keep thingsthe way they are?
That's the debate. It's simple.
Hit the comments, tear it apart.Tell me where you stand.
What would happen if if Donald Trump was no longer fit?
Is it? Is it simple enough to just JD
goes right in? How would we have felt?
How would anybody have felt if Joe Biden had been forced out,
deemed unable to, unfit to to lead?
(16:45):
I'm not so sure that he wasn't and a lot of people believe that
he wasn't with the Democrats have had a little bit more of a
leg up now if they had installedKamala back then.
I'm not so sure of course, but it's something to think about.
Let me know where you stand. To those of you who are with me
on this, the like minded, the ones who feel that auto hate
(17:06):
fatigue every time you turn on the news or you Scroll down your
social media platforms. I need you join me here, like
and share, spread this. Let's build a team.
I'm loyal to my teams, especially my football teams and
my universities. Together we can push back on the
insanity. For those of you that don't
agree, stick around a little bit, check it out.
(17:28):
You might find out that thinkingfor yourself beats things you
hear by Rachel Maddow, Taylor Swift.
You don't need to listen to her,so give it a chance.
I try and stay try and listen toall of you.
So with that being said, stay sharp, stay bold, stay laughing,
please stay in the fray. Love you guys, just listen up.
