From Jasmine Crockett pushing misinformation while running for Senate, to Tim Walz melting down over insults after years of dishing them out, to Michelle Obama turning hair into a grievance, to Rachel Maddow spinning fantasy-level foreign policy — this episode is a reminder of why the national conversation feels completely broken.
Ryan breaks down the misinformation and meltdowns one-by-one.
You don’t have to like Trump.
You don’t have to agree with every policy.
But lying, race-baiting, playing the victim, and pretending words are violence while cheering chaos? That’s how you guarantee the same outcomes you claim to hate.
This is why the "They Really Said That…" segment exists.
No fluff. No polite nodding. Just calling it exactly what it is.

00:00:00
So this is Jasmine Crockett, in case you didn't figure it out
00:00:04
already. And I use the term campaign ad
00:00:07
very generously here. Check this out.
00:00:09
How about this new one? They have their new star,
00:00:11
Crockett. How about her?
00:00:13
She's the new star of the Democrat Party.
00:00:15
Jasmine Crockett. They're in big trouble.
00:00:18
She's a very low IQ person. Imagine thinking that was a
00:00:22
positive ad. Here is Tim explaining how
00:00:25
dangerous it is to be called a mean word.
00:00:29
This creates danger and I'll tell you what, in my time on
00:00:33
this, I've never seen this before.
00:00:35
People driving my house by my house and using the R word.
00:00:38
I just visualize this line of cars like people looking at
00:00:41
Christmas lights driving by yelling the R word at them.
00:00:45
But here's Michelle Obama explaining America's biggest
00:00:48
crisis. Curly hair on black people.
00:00:52
Explain something to white people.
00:00:55
Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern, so
00:00:59
when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards.
00:01:03
Here is Rachel on Stephen Colbert's show.
00:01:06
She's explaining her fan fiction about Vladimir Putin owning the
00:01:09
White House. I mean, literally, they wrote
00:01:12
the plan for what they want Ukraine to do and the White
00:01:14
House put it on its letterhead and said here it is.
00:01:24
Welcome to Stay in the Fray podcast.
00:01:26
I'm your host, Ryan. This is where headlines get hit
00:01:28
hard, hypocracy gets shredded, and the absurd are laughed at.
00:01:33
If you want comfort, this isn't your place.
00:01:35
If you want blunt and unfiltered, I'm your guy.
00:01:38
Join me in the fray. All you had to do is just listen
00:01:44
up. Hey guys, do not make fun of my
00:01:47
Christmas tree. I know that it's black and it
00:01:50
has no ornaments but I like it so back off getting closer.
00:01:56
So I hope everyone's having a great holidays and a good
00:01:59
Christmas season. And here we go again.
00:02:03
I swear these people wake up every single day planning how
00:02:08
they can embarrass themselves the most like it's morning
00:02:12
routine coffee emails destroy your credibility before
00:02:16
lunchtime. Some of these people have turned
00:02:18
victimhood into a personality type.
00:02:22
They lie, of course. They race bait and they make
00:02:25
things up on the spot. They rewrite failures and they
00:02:29
walk around without a shred of shame And this crap.
00:02:33
It's routine is why our country feels so jacked up in my eyes.
00:02:37
It's why this matters to me so much, and to those of you who
00:02:40
enjoy the show. For too long, people hear this
00:02:44
kind of drivel and they just take it at face value.
00:02:47
No questions, no pushback. These folks count on the public
00:02:52
being too tired, too polite to call out the nonsense.
00:02:57
Well, not here. I'll keep holding up the mirror
00:03:00
that they keep running from. It is another edition today of
00:03:04
They Really said that. The segment where hypocrisy gets
00:03:08
lit up like a Christmas tree and victimhood gets the
00:03:12
participation trophy it keeps begging for.
00:03:16
So grab a drink, it wasn't morning time and have something
00:03:21
other than coffee because you're going to need it.
00:03:25
This is Stay in the Fray podcast.
00:03:27
It is December the 15th, 2025. Let's roll.
00:03:33
I always put her first. I have to, I have to.
00:03:36
She gives me more content than anybody else combined.
00:03:39
And it's scary because she is in my state.
00:03:42
The Texas politician who somehow manages to sound both
00:03:45
overconfident and under qualified the same time.
00:03:50
And she's just announced she's running for Senate, which is
00:03:54
adorable, honestly. The Texans are not electing her
00:03:57
to run a concession stand at a high school football game, much
00:04:01
less the state. So this is Jasmine Crockett, in
00:04:06
case you didn't figure it out already.
00:04:09
We're going to start with her campaign ad.
00:04:12
And I use the term campaign ad very generously here.
00:04:16
Check this out. How about this new one?
00:04:19
They have their new star, Crockett.
00:04:21
How about her? She's the new star of the
00:04:23
Democrat Party, Jasmine Crockett They're in big trouble.
00:04:28
But you have this woman, Crockett.
00:04:30
She's a very low IQ person. I watched her speak the other
00:04:33
day. She's definitely a low IQ
00:04:35
person. Crockett Oh, man, oh, man.
00:04:40
She's a very low IQ person. Somebody said the other day,
00:04:45
she's one of the leaders of the party.
00:04:47
I said you got to be kidding. Now they're going to rely on
00:04:51
Crockett. Crockett's going to bring.
00:04:52
Them back. Oh my God imagine thinking that
00:04:56
was a positive ad. It literally is her staring into
00:05:02
the void while Trump calls her low IQ, which honestly might be
00:05:07
the most bipartisan thing he's ever said.
00:05:09
And she thought this was empowering, the way she looks at
00:05:13
the camera. Right.
00:05:15
When he said, Jasmine, you Crockett, your low IQ, she's
00:05:19
like, yeah, Jasmine, this is what happens when you let your
00:05:23
marketing team work unsupervised.
00:05:27
I mean, I kind of think I know what she was trying to do, but I
00:05:32
don't know. Jasmine, good for you for
00:05:36
trying. Trust me, though, that's not the
00:05:39
real comedy with Jasmine for today.
00:05:41
I just thought I would lead with it.
00:05:43
The real comedy is what happens when someone asks her an actual
00:05:47
question. And yes this is CN NS own
00:05:51
Caitlin Collins who I have kind of a back and forth relationship
00:05:56
with when it comes to how I agree.
00:05:59
I appreciate that she asked the hard questions but overall I I
00:06:02
still think I'm on the anti Caitlin Collins.
00:06:06
It's CNN that's the problem. But Caitlin Collins is calling
00:06:09
her out. When even CNN is holding the
00:06:12
receipts, you know it's bad. Roll this one guys.
00:06:16
Talk about Republicans taking money from a Jeffrey Epstein.
00:06:19
Here's what you said. Who also took money from
00:06:27
somebody named Jeffrey Epstein. As I had my.
00:06:30
Team dig in very. Quickly.
00:06:32
Mitt Romney, The NRCC, Lee. Zeldin, George Bush when?
00:06:39
Red McCain, Palin, Rick. Lazio.
00:06:46
You mentioned Lee Zeldin there. He's now a cabinet secretary.
00:06:48
He responded and said it was actually a doctor, Jeffrey
00:06:51
Epstein, who's a doctor that that doesn't have any relation
00:06:53
to the convicted sex trafficker. Unfortunate for that doctor, but
00:06:56
that is who donated to a prior campaign of his.
00:06:59
Do you want to correct the record on on the people?
00:07:01
And I, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein, just so
00:07:04
that people understand when you make a donation, your picture is
00:07:06
not there. And because they decided to
00:07:08
spring this on us in real time, I wanted the Republicans to
00:07:12
think about what could potentially happen because I
00:07:14
knew that they didn't even try to go the FEC.
00:07:17
So my team, what they did is they Googled.
00:07:19
And that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein.
00:07:21
Unlike Republicans, I at least don't go out and just tell lies
00:07:26
because it was not the same one. That's fine.
00:07:28
But when Lee Zeldin had something to say, all he had to
00:07:31
say was it was a different Jeffrey Epstein.
00:07:34
He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey
00:07:37
Epstein. So at least I wasn't trying to
00:07:39
mislead people. Now, have I dug in to find out
00:07:41
who this doctor is? I have not.
00:07:43
So I will trust and take what he says is that it wasn't that
00:07:47
Jeffrey Epstein, but I was not attempting to mislead anybody.
00:07:51
I literally had maybe 20 minutes before I had to do that debate.
00:07:56
But people might see that and say, well, you're trying to make
00:07:58
it sound like he took money from.
00:08:00
I did not. Registered sex offender.
00:08:01
No, but I literally did not know when you search FEC files.
00:08:05
And that's what I had my team to do.
00:08:07
I texted him and I said, listen, we're going up there saying that
00:08:10
she took donation, but. Somebody might say, well, your
00:08:12
team should have done the homework to make sure it wasn't
00:08:13
the. Conviction within 20 minutes.
00:08:16
You could not find that out, not from just doing a quick search
00:08:19
on FEC. So number one, I made sure that
00:08:22
I was clear that it was a Jeffrey Epstein, but I never
00:08:26
said it was specifically that Jeffrey Epstein because I knew
00:08:29
that we would we would need more time to really dig in.
00:08:31
Oh, Oh dear God, this this woman just said with her entire puffed
00:08:38
out chest. I didn't say the Jeffrey
00:08:41
Epstein. I said a Jeffrey Epstein.
00:08:44
Jasmine, you do not get to claim investigative victory because
00:08:49
your intern used Google like an A Magic 8 ball.
00:08:52
You accused sitting members of Congress of taking money from a
00:08:57
sex offender, the most talked about sex offender in the world
00:09:02
and your defense is I never said that one wrong guy, my bad.
00:09:09
The best part is you try to package this is honesty, as if
00:09:13
shouting the word A in front of Jeffrey Epstein magically makes
00:09:17
it responsible. Here's all you had to say.
00:09:21
Yeah, You know what, Caitlin? I messed up.
00:09:23
Simple. Clean.
00:09:25
It would have shown at least a shred of dignity and ownership.
00:09:29
But that wouldn't be you, would it, Jasmine that that clip is
00:09:33
just beyond me. You know, some people believe
00:09:35
that if you if you aren't sure and you only had 20 minutes,
00:09:38
then just don't say it at all. It's not hard.
00:09:40
But she wasn't in done and bear embarrassing herself recently.
00:09:45
Here's a a brilliant economic proposal that gets me all fired
00:09:50
up. Let's enter the race baiting
00:09:53
play guys. Just this past week I saw, I
00:09:56
don't remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity.
00:09:59
And I was like, I don't know. That's not just really a bad
00:10:01
idea, but I'd have to think through a lot. 1 of the things
00:10:04
that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a
00:10:07
certain amount of time because then again that puts money back
00:10:10
in your pocket. But at the same time, it may not
00:10:13
be as objectionable to some people about actually giving out
00:10:18
dollars. But obviously then you start
00:10:20
dealing with the different tax brackets and things like that.
00:10:22
And that's one of the reasons that, you know, we argue the
00:10:25
reparations make sense because so many black folk, not only do
00:10:30
you owe for the labor that was stolen and killed and all the
00:10:33
other things, right? But the fact is like, we end up
00:10:36
being so far behind, right? And so it's like, how do you
00:10:39
bring forth people exactly? And so it's like if you if you
00:10:44
do the no tax thing for people that are already say struggling
00:10:48
and aren't really paying taxes in the 1st place, it doesn't
00:10:52
really exactly they may. They may want those those
00:10:55
checks. Like they got.
00:10:55
Oh yeah. They want those free checks.
00:10:59
This reparations routine is exhausting.
00:11:04
Truly. It's it's tiring, it's outdated,
00:11:07
and it's not happening. Not in cash, not in tax
00:11:11
exemptions, not whatever fantasy economy she thinks she's cooking
00:11:15
up. The idea that people living
00:11:17
today are owed money for things they never came close to
00:11:21
experiencing and from people who had nothing to do with it is not
00:11:27
justice. It's entitlement dressed as
00:11:30
activism. Here's the part they never say
00:11:33
out loud. Reparations have existed for 60
00:11:37
plus years in the form of programs, grants, scholarships,
00:11:43
housing assistance, business aid, education funding, all
00:11:48
designed to help with opportunity.
00:11:51
Not handouts, not checks in the mail opportunity.
00:11:57
That is what was stunted during those horrible times.
00:12:01
Then still, here we are pretending nothing's ever been
00:12:04
done to help, and Jasmine takes it further.
00:12:08
This is this is incredible. Some by people don't don't pay
00:12:11
taxes, so maybe, maybe they should get the checks.
00:12:14
Do you hear how ridiculous it sounds?
00:12:17
You cannot claim oppression while simultaneously arguing for
00:12:20
benefits you didn't earn. This is how you divide people
00:12:24
even further. This is how you guarantee
00:12:26
nothing ever gets better. You're teaching the kids the
00:12:29
opposite of work ethic, the opposite of accountability.
00:12:33
And Jasmine seems to think it's smart policy moving forward.
00:12:37
This is who wants to represent Texas in the United States
00:12:41
Senate, a state Trump won by 14 points, by the way, a state that
00:12:46
doesn't fall for theatrics, pity campaigns or race driven
00:12:50
gimmicks. So if this is the strategy she
00:12:54
thinks will win people of Texas over, Texas is about to deliver
00:12:58
one of the fastest political rejections in history, and I
00:13:01
can't wait to see it. All right, move on from Jasmine.
00:13:04
My goodness. I swear, I could just do a show
00:13:06
about her. But I think she'd like it that I
00:13:08
think she would enjoy it. But let's move on to another
00:13:11
tampon. Tim.
00:13:13
Minneapolis. I'm sorry, from Minnesota.
00:13:15
He's a governor. He's a man who loves dishing it
00:13:18
out, but he falls apart when someone kind of gives it back to
00:13:22
him a little bit. Here is Tim explaining how
00:13:26
dangerous it is to be called a mean word.
00:13:32
This creates danger. And I'll tell you what, in my
00:13:36
time on this, I've never seen this before.
00:13:38
People driving my house by my house and using the R word in
00:13:42
front of people. This is shameful.
00:13:44
And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected
00:13:48
official say you're right, that's shameful.
00:13:50
He should not say it. So look, I'm I'm worried.
00:13:52
We know how these things go. They start with taunts.
00:13:54
They turn to violence. So deeply concerned I.
00:13:59
Can just I just visualize this line of cars like people looking
00:14:03
at Christmas lights just driving by yelling the R word at him.
00:14:07
By the way, in case you missed the Trump called him the R word
00:14:13
in passing. And I'm not sure I disagree with
00:14:15
Donald on that. But calm down, Timothy.
00:14:19
You think that that Donald stood outside your window with a
00:14:23
megaphone screaming slurs like a high school bully all night?
00:14:26
The man got called a word not audited by God and this whole
00:14:31
people drove by my house bit. That's so funny.
00:14:35
Nobody cares enough to drive anywhere for you.
00:14:38
I I guarantee you this is quite the exaggeration.
00:14:42
You aren't the villain in a Batman movie.
00:14:44
Your governor who got roasted happens daily in politics.
00:14:49
Listen closely. Democrats, including you, have
00:14:54
spent nine years calling Trump and and all of us who voted for
00:14:59
him every slur imaginable, Hitler, fascist dictator, threat
00:15:04
to humanity, and suddenly you're clutching pearls because you got
00:15:09
called the R word. You don't get to weaponize
00:15:12
language for a decade and then pretend to be a delicate flower
00:15:16
when someone returns serf. Now here's why this whole victim
00:15:18
routine does not work for him. Watch this.
00:15:23
Look, Donald Trump insulting me is a badge of honor for me.
00:15:26
But look, this is what Donald Trump has done.
00:15:28
He's normalized this tribe. He's normalized this tribe of of
00:15:32
hateful behavior and this type of language.
00:15:37
And when it's a child, you talk to him and you tell him why
00:15:40
bullying is wrong. But when it's adult.
00:15:43
But when it's adult like Donald Trump you bully the shit out of.
00:15:46
Him back, he's normalized this type of of hateful behavior and
00:15:49
this type of language you get up.
00:15:51
In the morning you do through things and although I will say
00:15:54
this, the last few days you woke up with there might be news.
00:15:59
He's normalized this type of of hateful behavior and this type
00:16:01
of language. But I don't think we should be
00:16:03
the party that demonizes someone because they're able to afford
00:16:07
something or they're able to work hard and got something.
00:16:10
What we should demonize is people like Elon Musk.
00:16:12
Elon's on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dipshit,
00:16:17
jumping around like a dipshit. On stage, he's prancing and
00:16:20
dancing around like a dipshit. What I don't regret, what I
00:16:23
don't regret, is calling Elon Musk A dipshit.
00:16:25
I do not regret that. That's why I called him a
00:16:27
dipshit. And I stand.
00:16:28
By it, he's normalized this type of hateful behavior and this
00:16:31
type of language it's. It's maybe in a.
00:16:35
Hypocrite is what it is. I thought that was a well done
00:16:38
clip of exactly what I'm talking about.
00:16:40
And by the way, Elon dancing around stage, have you seen your
00:16:43
entrance to a few of these rallies that you've had before
00:16:47
for Kamala? Yeah, I look in the mirror, my
00:16:49
man. But he is.
00:16:52
He's a walking contradiction wrapped in a participation
00:16:55
ribbon. Bully the shit out of Donald
00:16:57
Trump. I thought he might be dying.
00:17:00
That was when Donald Trump, the rumors about he wasn't doing
00:17:03
well because we hadn't heard of him.
00:17:05
Heard from him over a weekend. Turns out he was playing a
00:17:07
little golf and good for him. Elon's a dipshit.
00:17:12
I mean, he's talking. He's talking like a drunk guy at
00:17:15
a AVFW bar after losing a dart game.
00:17:19
Then he turns around and pretends that words are harmful
00:17:22
only when they're used against him.
00:17:23
If you're going to position yourself as America's moral
00:17:27
compass, maybe stop sounding like a middle-aged man whose
00:17:30
entire personality is complaining about people more
00:17:33
successful than you. And just to round this out,
00:17:38
Timmy is under fire right now. Getting called the R word is the
00:17:42
least of his problems. Deflection one O 1.
00:17:45
Here's his response to actual fraud in his own state.
00:17:51
Rule this one. It's not a coincidence that
00:17:53
they're targeting Minnesota. If they want to help us, I
00:17:56
welcome that. I think they do an
00:17:57
investigation, find out, but I don't think anybody in here
00:18:00
really believes their motive and their timing is about actually
00:18:04
doing something about this. It's unbelievable.
00:18:07
It's just constant. It's suspicious timing.
00:18:11
That's what he said. No, Tim, you know what's
00:18:14
suspicious? Billions disappearing.
00:18:17
Minnesota didn't lose a $20 bill in the couch cushion.
00:18:22
It didn't misplace a school laptop.
00:18:25
Billions evaporated under your watch.
00:18:28
But somehow, the timing of the investigation, this is a real
00:18:32
scandal. This is a guy whose wife sat
00:18:35
there during the George Floyd riots watching businesses burn
00:18:40
and said it smelled like a revolution.
00:18:43
That's what leadership looks like to these people.
00:18:46
Total collapse. As long as they can spin it into
00:18:49
a poetic moment. But call him a name.
00:18:52
Suddenly he's on the brink of a panic attack.
00:18:56
Tim Walls is what happens to a politician who tries to cosplay
00:19:01
as a hero while acting like a victim.
00:19:04
He dishes out insults. He fans the division.
00:19:07
He mocks opponents. He shrugs at billions of missing
00:19:11
taxpayer dollars and then Christ foul when someone uses a word he
00:19:16
doesn't like. These are the very people who
00:19:19
are trying to lecture Americans on decency.
00:19:24
This guy is a colossal failure between him, Ilhan Omar, and
00:19:28
that beta male mayor of theirs. Poor Minnesota.
00:19:33
Let's move on, shifting gears to someone who has turned blaming
00:19:40
white people into a lifelong side hustle.
00:19:43
I don't know if she's bored or what, but here's Michelle Obama
00:19:48
explaining America's biggest crisis.
00:19:51
Curly hair on black people. You got to hear this.
00:19:55
Go ahead and play it. Let.
00:19:56
Me explain something to white people.
00:20:00
Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern, so
00:20:04
when we're straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we
00:20:07
are trapped by the straightness. That's why so many of us can't
00:20:12
swim and we run away from the water.
00:20:16
People won't go to the gym because we're trying to keep our
00:20:20
hair straight for y'all. Oh, my goodness.
00:20:23
All right, Michelle, come on, If your hair is stopping you from
00:20:27
swimming, going to the gym, living your life, that is not
00:20:32
oppression. That is a personal choice with a
00:20:35
salon price tag. This idea that white people
00:20:39
somehow control whether you jump in a pool or hop on a treadmill
00:20:43
is insane. You're telling me that grown
00:20:46
adults can't exercise or enjoy water because of white beauty
00:20:51
standards? It's not a societal issue.
00:20:54
That is your own insecurity wrapped in victim language.
00:20:58
Here we go Michelle the Ryan at stay in the fray podcast curly
00:21:03
haired hotties list Shakira curly haired but a Global Icon
00:21:08
for decades now Kerry Russell remember her basically became
00:21:12
famous for her curls. Taylor Swift, Tay Tay in her in
00:21:18
her early years, mainly full curls, full fame.
00:21:21
None of them are black. Somehow the world still
00:21:25
considered them beautiful. They didn't have to straighten
00:21:28
their hair for white beauty standards.
00:21:32
And here's the flip side. Beyoncé has rocked both her
00:21:34
curls and her straight hair for years.
00:21:37
Nobody told her she couldn't swim.
00:21:39
Nobody told her if she couldn't perform, if her hair wasn't flat
00:21:42
ironed. Because she's confident enough
00:21:44
to look and to own every look she chooses.
00:21:48
So Beyoncé. Zendaya, Rihanna, all rock, the
00:21:53
curls, all beautiful. So clearly curly hair isn't the
00:21:58
problem. The narrative is.
00:22:01
You're making something out of nothing, Michelle, which is what
00:22:03
you do. You're turning hair maintenance
00:22:05
into oppression. It's the same pattern every
00:22:08
time. Point the finger at white
00:22:10
people, say you're limited and profit.
00:22:14
The funniest part? There are athletes, Olympians,
00:22:17
influencers, everyday people with every hair type out there,
00:22:22
swimming, running, lifting, competing, living their lives
00:22:26
without turning their hairstyle into a political statement.
00:22:30
And notice the irony. You're giving this speech with
00:22:33
your hair professionally straightened, on stage with a
00:22:37
glam team backstage. If you want to inspire people to
00:22:40
embrace their natural hair, lead with it, Show it, own it.
00:22:46
But that wouldn't help the brand that you're selling, would it?
00:22:50
Anyway, And finally, moving on from Missus Obama, you know this
00:22:58
woman. I try to avoid hearing her voice
00:23:02
because it makes me cringe. She is the queen of imaginative
00:23:06
fiction when it comes to politics.
00:23:09
Rachel Maddow, a woman who speaks with total confidence
00:23:13
while being factually allergic. Here is Rachel on Kabair show.
00:23:18
Stephen Colbert show. I wonder what those ratings were
00:23:21
like. She's explaining her fan fiction
00:23:24
about Vladimir Putin owning the White House.
00:23:30
Play this one. I mean, literally, they wrote
00:23:32
the plan for what they want Ukraine to do and the White
00:23:34
House put it on its letterhead and said, here it is, you better
00:23:37
do it. And Russia is a podunk country.
00:23:42
There are huge landmass, largest, largest physical
00:23:44
country in the world. They've got an economy like the
00:23:47
size of Italy, right? They've got a kleptocratic,
00:23:51
sclerotic government run by a guy who's never going to leave
00:23:55
until he dies. The idea that we work for him,
00:23:59
that we work for them, is so humiliating and is such an
00:24:03
abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness.
00:24:07
I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and
00:24:10
it's an embarrassment to this country.
00:24:15
What? Oh my God, what?
00:24:17
What do you even start with with that nonsense?
00:24:22
Rachel talks like she's narrating a political thriller
00:24:25
nobody asked for. Russia gave the USA blueprint
00:24:29
and the US just slapped his letterhead on it.
00:24:32
Ma'am, this isn't a group project in middle school.
00:24:36
Foreign policy between nuclear powers is not exchanged like
00:24:40
homework between lab partners. She has zero evidence, just
00:24:45
confident rambling presented as gospel.
00:24:49
This is MSNBC performance art. They do it all day every day and
00:24:54
continue to double down. Funniest part is that she tries
00:24:58
to paint Russia as this pathetic weak podunk country right after
00:25:03
they claiming that they control the entire United States
00:25:06
government. So which is it Rachel?
00:25:08
Is Russia a global mastermind or a barn in the snow?
00:25:13
Because it cannot be both. And calling Russia podunk just
00:25:17
shows how sheltered she really is.
00:25:19
Have you ever seen Saint Petersburg?
00:25:21
Moscow. The architecture alone puts half
00:25:24
of Europe to shape. We're talking about a country
00:25:27
with ballet, literature, art, music, cultural giants that
00:25:32
shaped entire eras. The people, the cities, the
00:25:36
history. It's rich, complicated, and
00:25:40
genuinely beautiful. Yes, the government is corrupt.
00:25:45
It has had plenty of issues in that regard.
00:25:48
I'm not defending the Russian government or Vladimir Putin.
00:25:52
The leadership is an absolute problem.
00:25:55
But to dismiss the entire nation as podunk is fucking ignorant.
00:26:00
It's the kind of thing someone says when they've never stepped
00:26:02
outside of ATV studio. And of course, she throws in the
00:26:06
classic I don't know what Putin has on Trump.
00:26:09
Yeah, we know you don't. That's the whole problem.
00:26:12
You don't know anything, you just hint, insinuate, suggest,
00:26:17
and hope the audience fills in the blanks with whatever fear
00:26:20
you're trying to sell. Let's look at what actually
00:26:23
happened. Trump sanctioned Russia, Trump
00:26:26
threatened Russia, Trump pushed NATO to get stronger, Trump
00:26:31
brokered peace deals that made Russia influence shrink, not
00:26:35
grow. Nothing about that screams weak
00:26:38
at all, but to Rachel, it all fits into her bedtime story
00:26:43
where America is secretly run from a bunker in Moscow.
00:26:47
These people don't understand diplomacy.
00:26:50
They don't understand negotiation.
00:26:52
They don't understand that talking to adversaries is how
00:26:55
you avoid wars, not how you submit to them.
00:26:59
They simply invent fantasies because reality doesn't support
00:27:03
their storyline. Rachel motto is what happens
00:27:07
when someone mistakes fiction writing for journalism.
00:27:11
That wraps up the story time with Rachel portion of the
00:27:14
evening. A master class in saying a lot,
00:27:17
proving nothing, and pretending the world is a cartoon where
00:27:20
Russia is both all powerful and barely functional at the same
00:27:25
time. So here's the truth.
00:27:28
You don't have to like Trump. Obviously you don't have to vote
00:27:32
like me or majority of the country.
00:27:35
Obviously you don't have to abandon your politics or your
00:27:39
principles. But the way these people
00:27:42
demonstrate their opinions, lies, theatrics, race baiting,
00:27:47
fake outrage, that's what's tearing the country apart right
00:27:52
now. Trump was duly elected.
00:27:55
He's doing what he was put there to do, and instead of bringing
00:28:00
real ideas, real policy, and real solutions, these clowns
00:28:05
spend their time in inventing stories and screaming into
00:28:07
cameras and crying about name calling after they spent years
00:28:11
calling him every slur they could think of.
00:28:14
If they truly wanted change, they'd be focused on fixing
00:28:19
problems, not acting out soap opera drama every time a
00:28:23
microphone appears. They won't do that because they
00:28:28
won't. The very people they claim to
00:28:31
hate will continue winning the elections.
00:28:34
So in a twisted way, I should be thanking them.
00:28:37
They're doing half the work for us.
00:28:39
And for that, I salute them. And to all of you who, TuneIn,
00:28:45
we're growing. I appreciate you more than you
00:28:48
know. We're A-Team.
00:28:51
We're fed up together. We see what's happening and
00:28:54
refused to look away here in 2025, spreading the truth means
00:28:58
shows like this, conversations like this, communities like
00:29:03
this, you showing up here matters.
00:29:06
So hit like drop a comment, let's chat, share the episode,
00:29:11
all the good stuff. It all helps push back against
00:29:14
the noise. So stay sharp, stay loud, stay
00:29:19
honest, stay the fray. Love you guys.
00:29:26
I had to do is just listen up.
