Joy Reid says white people can’t invent. James Comey gushes about Taylor Swift. Elizabeth Warren pushes government grocery stores. This is the first Grievance Games™ of the season, and the hypocrisy is louder than ever.
We kick it off with a story from a Flaming Lips concert — thousands of strangers, confetti raining down, and one giant hamster ball rolling across the crowd. It’s pure joy… until politics creeps in. That moment is the perfect metaphor for what this show is all about: finding the truth in a culture that pretends to love unity but turns to hate when your politics show.
In this episode:
Joy Reid’s anti-white rant and deportation conspiracy
James Comey’s Swiftie obsession meets Trump bashing
Elizabeth Warren’s socialist “grocery experiment”
Ella Emhoff’s climate anxiety TikTok

00:00:00
Let's start with this subset live stream that she did with
00:00:03
Wajahat Ali. He's the guy who nods along to
00:00:06
anything anti white like it's gospel.
00:00:09
Joy looks right into the camera and says that white people can't
00:00:13
invent anything. They can't originally invent
00:00:16
anything more than they ever were able to invent good music.
00:00:19
We black folk gave y'all country music, hip hop, R&B, jazz,
00:00:24
rock'n'roll. James comedy.
00:00:27
Yes, that James Comedy, the guy who ran the FBI into the ground
00:00:31
with the Russia collusion hoax, is now posting weird little
00:00:35
selfie videos on the Internet. And Donald Trump is still
00:00:39
president and still humiliating America on a national stage
00:00:43
standing next to Vladimir Putin. It's like a dream, a bad dream
00:00:46
you can't wake up from. But I don't want to talk about
00:00:48
that bad dream this week. I want to talk about a truly
00:00:51
inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift Here Warren
00:00:55
is at a rally of some sort for Zoran.
00:00:58
Mom donning again, potential communist New York City mayor.
00:01:02
She says he's got real plans to make New York more affordable.
00:01:05
And then she drops the gem of the year.
00:01:08
Tends to deliver on housing, plans to deliver.
00:01:11
We're going to experiment. We're going to try things on
00:01:13
groceries. Welcome to Stay in the Fray
00:01:22
podcast. I'm your host, Ryan.
00:01:24
This is where headlines get hit hard, hypocracy gets shredded,
00:01:27
and the absurd are laughed at. If you want comfort, this isn't
00:01:31
your place. If you want blunt and
00:01:33
unfiltered, I'm your guy. Join me in the fray.
00:01:36
All you had to do was just listen up.
00:01:41
Hey everyone, if you already know me, you'll enjoy the way
00:01:47
that this story I'm about to tell ties back into what you
00:01:50
already know about me, and probably why you've stuck around
00:01:54
with the show. If you're new here, great,
00:01:57
because it explains everything. How I see the world, why I do
00:02:02
this, and what this show is really about.
00:02:04
Stick around, I think you'll be glad that you did.
00:02:06
So picture this. 10 people in an arena, confetti cannons
00:02:13
pinned and primed. Wayne Coyne, frontman climbing
00:02:18
into his giant blow up hamster ball.
00:02:21
And if you've ever been to a Flaming Lips show, you know
00:02:24
exactly what I'm talking about. There's about 3 minutes of pure
00:02:28
happiness when he rolls over the crowd while the song race for
00:02:33
the Prize blasts and confetti reigns like it's New Year's Eve.
00:02:48
They always close every show with that song, and I think I
00:02:53
know why because in that moment it's impossible not to smile,
00:03:00
not to feel good. You're shoulder to shoulder with
00:03:03
strangers, everyone singing the same chorus, every ounce of
00:03:07
cynicism washed away in those few moments.
00:03:11
In the way that Flaming Lips does it.
00:03:13
It's beautiful. Here's the thing, I love it.
00:03:17
I love Wayne. I think he's one of the the
00:03:19
greatest front men that I've seen.
00:03:22
But I know full well that he and most of that stage and most of
00:03:28
that crowd probably sees the world completely differently
00:03:32
than I do politically. Yet I can stand there smiling,
00:03:38
clapping, cheering, because the music is what matters.
00:03:42
It's art, it's joy, and that's how it should be.
00:03:46
But here's the catch. Does that go both ways?
00:03:51
If Wayne looked out at the crowd and knew that one of the smiling
00:03:55
faces was a Trump supporter, would I still be welcome and all
00:04:01
that joy? Or would the love end the second
00:04:04
in my politics were visible? And I've seen this before, not
00:04:08
at the lip show. Wayne actually kept it very
00:04:11
respectful with one small line about being a hard time in
00:04:15
America right now. I respect the hell out of him
00:04:17
for that and the band for not going overboard.
00:04:21
The reaction I heard some shouting of things blaming
00:04:25
Trump, turning that blanket of love everyone into jeers and
00:04:30
hate for people like me and in other shows, U2, Bruce
00:04:35
Springsteen, Green Day, it's even louder.
00:04:40
Entire arenas drenched in so-called love flip to Venom the
00:04:44
moment that one man's name is mentioned.
00:04:47
That's the divide. They claim to love America, love
00:04:52
its people and love peace, until the very people they supposedly
00:04:57
love dare to vote differently, to think differently, to
00:05:02
approach life differently. Then the unity shatters, the
00:05:07
tolerance disappears, and the hate comes roaring back, aimed
00:05:11
at us. The lawlessness, the mobs, the
00:05:14
looting. It's not coming from MAGA
00:05:16
rallies. It's coming from the same side
00:05:19
that preaches about love while on stage.
00:05:22
And I stood there in that crowd, smiling at everybody around me,
00:05:26
not hating on anyone, even though that I knew plenty of
00:05:30
them would hate me. And that right there, is why I
00:05:34
do this. That is why this show exists.
00:05:38
I changed the name for this season.
00:05:41
Starting this season, it's no longer Stay in the Grey podcast.
00:05:45
It is now Stay in the Fray podcast because that's where we
00:05:49
are now. It's not polite debates over a
00:05:53
few beers anymore. It's a fight, a cultural fray, a
00:05:59
political fray, a media fray, a society fray.
00:06:04
And if you want proof of how ugly that it gets, you don't
00:06:08
need to look at my concert ticket stub.
00:06:10
You just need to hear me call out what the so-called leaders
00:06:15
and influencers have been saying.
00:06:17
They continue to scream misinformed, vile and dangerous
00:06:22
rhetoric straight faced into microphones and cameras.
00:06:26
So let's open the season and the new name with a bang and we'll
00:06:30
do a segment of they really said that the Grievance Games.
00:06:36
It's still here, it's growing and it's going strong.
00:06:40
This is Stay in the Fray podcast.
00:06:43
It is August 26th, 2025. Let's roll.
00:06:48
We're going to kick off the Grievance Games with a woman who
00:06:52
just endlessly intolerable. Joy Reid.
00:06:55
I think she's won like 8 gold medals on my Grievance Games.
00:06:59
She's the gift that keeps on race baiting in this episode.
00:07:03
I've got 2 clips that prove she's still in the running for
00:07:06
this episode's gold medal. And who can say the dumbest
00:07:10
thing on camera? Let's start with this sub stack
00:07:13
live stream that she did with Wajahat Ali.
00:07:16
I think I pronounced that correctly.
00:07:19
He's the guy who nods along to anything anti white like it's
00:07:23
gospel. Joy looks right into the camera
00:07:27
and says that white people can't invent anything.
00:07:31
She zeroes in on music. She drags Elvis and claims
00:07:35
country music was stolen. And instead of pushing back,
00:07:39
Wajahat eggs are on. Roll it.
00:07:43
They can't fix the history they did.
00:07:46
Their ancestors made this country into a slave.
00:07:50
A slave, hell, but they can clean it up now because they got
00:07:54
the Smithsonian. They can get rid of all the
00:07:55
slavery stuff, they got Prager U, They can lie about the
00:07:58
history to the children. They can't originally invent
00:08:01
anything more than they ever were able to invent good music.
00:08:04
We black folk gave y'all country music, hip hop, R&B, jazz,
00:08:09
rock'n'roll, they couldn't even invent that.
00:08:11
But they have to call a white man the king because they
00:08:14
couldn't make rock'n'roll. So they have to stamp the king
00:08:18
on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight black
00:08:22
woman. Wow.
00:08:25
See what I mean? So according to Joy, Elvis was a
00:08:28
thief, country music is fake, and white people's biggest
00:08:32
achievement is mediocrity. Let's break this down.
00:08:37
Was Elvis inspired by black artists?
00:08:39
Sure. No, Nobody's denying that many
00:08:43
musicians are inspired by all other musicians.
00:08:46
But inspiration is not theft. It's called music.
00:08:51
Elvis brought the dance, the flair, the non singing vocal
00:08:55
style, the showmanship, the white suit.
00:08:59
That's why he became Elvis. And if it was just all stolen,
00:09:04
then white artists more successful with it because they
00:09:07
transformed it, they adapted. That's how art works.
00:09:11
Joy. Acts like music didn't exist
00:09:12
before America 150 years ago. Have you ever heard of Celtic,
00:09:16
Norse, Viking folk traditions? Bagpipes, drums, chants that
00:09:21
could rattle the battlefield? How about classical music?
00:09:25
Mozart writing symphonies at age 5?
00:09:28
Beethoven composing while deaf. You think that came from a
00:09:32
Memphis Juke joint? Joy Country.
00:09:36
It came from European folk traditions, plain and simple.
00:09:40
Don't even try. Joy cannot simply erase history
00:09:43
just because it doesn't sell her newsletter.
00:09:46
And then there's invention in general.
00:09:49
Joy. If white people can't invent,
00:09:52
then explain. Edison and the light bulb.
00:09:55
Bell and the telephone. The Wright brothers in flight.
00:09:59
Fleming Penicillin, Jonas Salk curing polio, Steve Jobs with
00:10:05
the iPhone, Henry Ford mass producing cars are all those
00:10:09
stolen from Wakanda. This isn't bragging.
00:10:12
Not bragging, it's just facts. Joy invents lies to fuel her
00:10:17
racist narrative. That's what she does.
00:10:19
She race baits. It's pure desperation.
00:10:23
The reality is the majority of modern civilization was built
00:10:27
off of these innovations. It doesn't erase contributions
00:10:30
from all other cultures. But to deny this outright is
00:10:35
desperation, and it's exactly why people are sick of the race
00:10:39
baiting game. But it's all that joy has left.
00:10:43
As dumb as that was, Joy's second clip might top it.
00:10:49
Joyce says America is deporting black and brown people because
00:10:54
white people don't want to compete with them.
00:10:58
Jobs, military appointments, even university applications.
00:11:03
I'm not kidding. Roll it, boys.
00:11:07
The people who? Now no longer have to worry
00:11:10
about competition to get into Harvard and Columbia and Yale,
00:11:15
or to get the jobs they want, or the military appointments that
00:11:20
they want, or the jobs in the Trump administration that they
00:11:24
want. They don't have to worry about
00:11:25
competition from black and brown people.
00:11:28
Because Stephen. Miller and Donald Trump and Pete
00:11:33
Hegseth from Fox and all the other people who are unqualified
00:11:36
for their jobs. Are deleting all the.
00:11:39
Blacks and the brains and making sure that they all get deported
00:11:42
and locked up so that they don't have to compete and cannot.
00:11:46
Compete with the people. Who, frankly, aren't qualified.
00:11:50
But have the right? Complexion for the connection
00:11:52
when it comes to mega. Is she for real?
00:11:55
This is unbelievable. So apparently the guy who
00:11:58
crossed the border illegally last year is supposedly more
00:12:01
qualified for college, the military, and a job than the
00:12:06
citizens who've actually lived here, worked here, and paid
00:12:09
their taxes here and qualified for what?
00:12:12
Joy to cut the line to to break the law better than the next
00:12:16
guy? This is her logic.
00:12:18
They're all more qualified because you're just scared.
00:12:21
It's unreal. And let's be real, it's not our
00:12:25
fault that the overwhelming majority of people who are here
00:12:29
illegally happened to be brown and black people.
00:12:33
That's not racism, it's just reality.
00:12:37
It's statistics. I mean, look it up.
00:12:41
Deportation is not about avoiding competition in any way.
00:12:45
It's about the law, plain and simple.
00:12:48
Being here illegally is already a crime.
00:12:51
It is insulting to say that the people getting deported are some
00:12:56
secret wave of geniuses the evil white America is deleting from
00:13:01
the country. It's pure fantasy.
00:13:04
Joy Reid has firmly planted her flag in La La land.
00:13:08
And by the way, just to add this whole cultural appropriation
00:13:12
thing that she talks about all the time, I would like for Joy
00:13:16
to maybe explain how dreadlocks and braids weren't invented by
00:13:23
one culture at all. Vikings wore them, ancient
00:13:27
Greeks wore them, Africans wore them, Hindus wore them.
00:13:33
Everybody's been doing it for thousands of years.
00:13:35
So kindly stop pretending that you own a hairstyle and then
00:13:41
Beyoncé just strut out on stage with straight blonde hair.
00:13:45
Not too long ago, I'm sure you lectured her about cultural
00:13:49
appropriation. Moving on from Joy.
00:13:52
She gets me so wound up. But it's important to be a
00:13:55
competitor in these games. Let's move on.
00:13:57
Next. James Comedy.
00:14:00
Yes, that James comedy. The guy who ran the FBI into the
00:14:04
ground with the Russia collusion hoax is now posting weird little
00:14:10
selfie videos on the Internet. And oh boy, has he lost the
00:14:15
plot. In what seems like one giant
00:14:17
breath, comedy manages to insult President Trump, of course, and
00:14:23
then launch into a creepy monologue about his admiration
00:14:26
for one Taylor Swift. Roll it.
00:14:31
And Donald Trump is still president and still humiliating
00:14:34
America on a national stage, standing next to Vladimir Putin.
00:14:37
It's like a dream. A bad dream you can't wake up
00:14:40
from. But I don't want to talk about
00:14:42
that bad dream this week. I want to talk about a truly
00:14:44
inspirational public figure named Taylor Swift.
00:14:48
Of course I watched her podcast interview with the Kelsey
00:14:51
Brothers. Of course I watched the whole
00:14:53
thing, although on YouTube, Patrice and I got kicked off for
00:14:56
the last 15 minutes and finished it on her phone.
00:14:59
Nobody cares. But I watched it.
00:15:01
You see, Taylor Swift and I go way back.
00:15:04
I went to my first concert of hers 15 years ago.
00:15:08
I've been to a second and I have help financially support the
00:15:12
attendance of a lot of family members and others.
00:15:14
I'm in a family's Swifty group chat.
00:15:18
I know all her music and I listened to it in my headphones
00:15:20
when I cut the grass. So yes, I have a favorite of
00:15:24
hers. Although honestly, for me, it's
00:15:25
a tie between All Too Well 10 Minute Version and Exile
00:15:30
featuring Bonnie Ver. All right, I'll wait for you to
00:15:33
stop laughing. First off, Donald Trump is
00:15:37
humiliating America. This is another narrative that
00:15:40
is getting very stale. There's no embarrassment.
00:15:45
Under Trump, the US economy has roared.
00:15:47
Hundreds of billions have of dollars have poured in from
00:15:51
foreign investment. Energy independence is real, and
00:15:56
countries are lining up to negotiate with us instead of
00:15:59
taking us for a ride. Manufacturing is returning.
00:16:02
There's record low unemployment across the board.
00:16:05
Where is the humiliation? I don't get it, Jim.
00:16:08
If you don't say something that he likes, that doesn't mean that
00:16:10
he's embarrassing the United States.
00:16:12
He's standing by Putin. It's a nightmare to dig.
00:16:15
That's called diplomacy, keeping enemies close so we can try and
00:16:20
end wars. You know, like the 8:00 or so
00:16:23
conflicts that Trump has already helped to shut down or calm
00:16:27
during his presidency. It's only been seven or eight
00:16:29
months that, hey, maybe you'd rather keep Zelensky's allowance
00:16:33
checks flowing while millions more die.
00:16:37
That is not diplomacy. That is blood money.
00:16:40
And then, without missing a beat, he turns into a teenage
00:16:44
fangirl. He gushes about Taylor Swift
00:16:47
like he's in line for some friendship bracelets.
00:16:50
He says he saw her concerts way back.
00:16:53
They go way back. He said he bought tickets for
00:16:55
family members to go see her. I'm sure that would impact her
00:17:00
billions. He's in a Swifty group chat and
00:17:04
he mows his lawn with her music in his headphones.
00:17:08
Jim, this isn't commentary. It's a midlife crisis and nobody
00:17:12
gives a shit what your favorite Taylor track is.
00:17:16
Do you think you have a shot with her or something?
00:17:18
It's creepy and she just got engaged, I hear.
00:17:21
And where it gets rich is that after his Swifty fangirling, he
00:17:26
circles back to politics. I saved you the entirety of the
00:17:29
of his babbling on this clip. But he goes on to say that there
00:17:33
are way more of us than there are jerk Trump supporters.
00:17:38
Where do I begin with this? We duly elected Trump by
00:17:42
millions of votes, and Trump's base is now bigger than it was
00:17:46
in 2016. Meanwhile, your side burns
00:17:50
cities, loots, stores, riots in the streets, and attacks people
00:17:54
for wearing a Red Hat. But we're the jerks.
00:17:57
You got it backwards, Jim. And you know you do.
00:18:00
It's just impossible for you people to admit it.
00:18:03
So that was James Comedy rambling about Trump, drooling
00:18:05
over Tay Tay and lumping well over half the country into one
00:18:09
big insult. Instead of embarrassing himself
00:18:12
on video, maybe he should focus on something else, like
00:18:16
lawyering up for his role and the Russia collusion hoax.
00:18:21
He's going to need it. All right, we're moving right
00:18:23
along here. I'm going to go to Elizabeth
00:18:26
Warren, AKA. You know what I'm going to say,
00:18:29
Pocahontas. She's the woman who once claimed
00:18:32
that she was 116th Native American in order to get ahead
00:18:36
in her career. If fraud were an Olympic sport,
00:18:40
she'd already have more medals than Phelps.
00:18:43
But somehow she's still out here lecturing us on what's good for
00:18:47
America. So in this clip, Warren sits on
00:18:50
some panel and says she personally knows AOC, Bernie
00:18:55
Sanders and the New York City mayor hopeful Zoran Mamdani, and
00:19:00
that they're fighting for a country not controlled by
00:19:03
billionaires who literally dump hundreds of millions into
00:19:08
campaigns. Roll it please.
00:19:11
And I, I, the people I know and know well, like Mamdani, like
00:19:17
Ocasio Cortez, like Sanders, are all in there fighting.
00:19:21
And they know what they're fighting for.
00:19:23
They're fighting for an America that's not just controlled by a
00:19:26
handful of billionaires who dump literally millions and millions,
00:19:31
hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns.
00:19:35
They want somebody who is actually there to fight for
00:19:39
them. Does she hear herself when she
00:19:42
speaks? She's wagging her finger at
00:19:45
billionaires as if her own party isn't the darling of billionaire
00:19:50
donors. As usual, let's check some
00:19:53
receipts. George Soros is the main one,
00:19:56
dumping 10s of millions into left wing PACs.
00:20:00
Mark Zuckerberg pumping over 400 million into election
00:20:04
infrastructure in 2020. He claims to have changed his
00:20:08
ways now Reid Hoffman, Co founder of LinkedIn, dropping
00:20:12
millions to smear Republicans. And of course, the one and only
00:20:16
Kamala Harris, who raised and spent record setting billions,
00:20:23
plural billions on her campaign for president.
00:20:28
You're going to sit there, Elizabeth, and act like it's the
00:20:32
right wing side that's being backed by billionaires?
00:20:36
That's not just hypocrisy, it's historical revision.
00:20:41
And by the way, those names she listed as her heroes?
00:20:45
A socialist, A communist, and a woman whose only real
00:20:49
achievement is live streaming herself making margaritas,
00:20:54
that's her Mount Rushmore. If that's who's fighting for
00:20:57
America, God help us all. But it gets better with
00:21:01
Pocahontas. Here.
00:21:05
Warren is at a rally of some sort for Zoran Mamdani again,
00:21:10
potential communist New York City mayor.
00:21:13
She says he's got real plans to make New York more affordable.
00:21:18
And then she drops the gem of the year.
00:21:21
They're going to experiment with groceries.
00:21:26
Yes, government run grocery stores.
00:21:29
One per borough. Roll it.
00:21:32
When someone stands up and says I will lead this city by making
00:21:38
it more affordable and here are my plans, real plans, plans to
00:21:43
deliver on childcare, plans to deliver on housing, plans to
00:21:46
deliver. We're going to experiment.
00:21:48
We're going to try things on groceries.
00:21:50
That is the Democratic message. What she means is government run
00:21:58
grocery stores. Mom, Donnie's talked about this.
00:22:01
That's not affordability. That's Venezuela.
00:22:04
That's East Berlin, that's standing in line for bread while
00:22:09
soldiers with rifles tell you what you can and cannot buy.
00:22:13
We've seen how experimenting with groceries turns out.
00:22:16
It turns into shelves with nothing but government cheese
00:22:19
and rotten potatoes. I don't get how people want
00:22:22
this. I don't understand how they can
00:22:24
vote for this. But unfortunately, it looks like
00:22:28
New York City is going to have to be the example.
00:22:30
If you want to make New York City more affordable, try
00:22:33
lowering taxes, cutting regulations and letting small
00:22:37
businesses thrive, not building Soviet supermarkets.
00:22:42
That'll drive money out and make the city look like a militarized
00:22:46
Third World country. And then she says with a
00:22:48
straight face at the end there, that is the Democratic message.
00:22:53
Well, good. Spread that far and wide,
00:22:55
please. Because if that's the message,
00:22:57
your party's going to keep fading faster than a Black
00:23:00
Friday sale at one of your government run grocery stores.
00:23:03
That was Elizabeth Warren lecturing us about billionaires
00:23:06
while cashing checks from billionaires, praising a
00:23:09
socialist and a communist as America's role models, and
00:23:13
pitching Soviet grocery stores as innovation.
00:23:17
This is the same woman who lied, like I mentioned, about being a
00:23:20
Native American to get ahead, and now she wants to tell the
00:23:23
rest of us how to live. It's pretty pathetic.
00:23:26
All right, to end the the shortened version of the
00:23:30
grievance Games, here's some quick Comic Relief because boy,
00:23:34
do we need it. Our next and last contestant
00:23:36
today is Kamala Harris's stepdaughter Ella Imhoff.
00:23:42
Yes, the fashion world darling who thinks crocheted hats and
00:23:45
awkward Tik Toks are policy positions.
00:23:49
She posted a video recently where she says the following.
00:23:53
Get this, she has climate anxiety.
00:23:58
Roll it. I think everything with the
00:24:00
environment is really fucking getting to me.
00:24:05
And it is one I experience a lot of climate anxiety, like a lot
00:24:13
of I just do. It's not funny.
00:24:16
I it's just like, it's one of those things it's not funny, but
00:24:20
you just like nervous laugh about it because it's scary.
00:24:22
It is. It's.
00:24:23
Actually, Ella, I disagree with you.
00:24:25
It is funny. It's funny, hilarious.
00:24:28
What on earth are you anxious about?
00:24:31
This is the fucking climate. Before you were even born we
00:24:34
were told the world would end 10 years, 20 years, ice caps gone,
00:24:39
Miami underwater, mass extinction.
00:24:42
And here you are, alive, healthy, filming Tik toks on a
00:24:47
smartphone powered by fossil fuels.
00:24:50
The apocalypse seems to be a bit delayed.
00:24:53
If you want to direct your anxiety about this somewhere,
00:24:56
then how about asking where all the trillions in climate funds
00:25:00
have actually gone? NGOs, bureaucrats, global
00:25:03
conferences with filet mignon buffets and private jets.
00:25:08
There's not so much saving the planet going on there.
00:25:11
But hey, you got your anxiety content out of it, so maybe that
00:25:15
counts as activism now. And maybe this anxiety, it runs
00:25:19
in your household, your stepmom gets stage fright just trying to
00:25:23
explain what a Venn diagram is. She burst into a cackle every
00:25:27
time she's asked a real policy question.
00:25:30
So I guess climate anxiety fits right in with the Harris
00:25:32
household. Lots of nervous laughter, no
00:25:35
actual solutions to it. But if it gets really bad, Ella,
00:25:39
don't forget your stepmom can help.
00:25:42
Kamala always sounds like she's a couple cocktails deep at happy
00:25:45
hour somewhere. I'm sure she'll let you tag
00:25:47
along to calm those nerves. Honestly, I'll, if the planet
00:25:52
doesn't melt, you'll still be left with plenty of other things
00:25:55
to worry about, like how embarrassing it must be to say
00:25:59
this shit out loud. Moving on.
00:26:02
So, as always, let's do a quick medal ceremony for the Grievance
00:26:06
Games competitors. First, we're going to go right
00:26:09
back to Ella. She gets the bronze today for
00:26:12
proving climate anxiety is real, but only if you live in Kamala's
00:26:16
cocktail closet. The silver goes to Pocahontas,
00:26:23
AKA Elizabeth Warren, for pitching communist grocery
00:26:26
stores as if they were fresh innovation and pretending that
00:26:29
her party doesn't bathe in billionaire cash.
00:26:32
The gold medal? It's probably her 9th or 10th.
00:26:35
Joy Reid for standing on her sub stack soapbox declaring white
00:26:40
people can't invent anything and somehow topping it all off with
00:26:43
a deportation conspiracy against brown and black people that
00:26:48
would embarrass even the late night comedy writers.
00:26:52
Congratulations Joy again, you're this week's champion.
00:26:57
In a quick honourable mention. They couldn't give James comedy,
00:27:02
not for politics, but for possibly the creepiest Swifty
00:27:05
crush in history. Jim, mowing your lawn with
00:27:09
Taylor Swift in your headphones does not make you inspirational.
00:27:12
It makes you a walking restraining order.
00:27:15
No medal for you, just embarrassment.
00:27:18
But look all right, underneath all this, the sarcasm, the
00:27:23
roasting. There's a reason that we do this
00:27:25
at the on the show. There's a reason that I ramble
00:27:28
like this and call out these people.
00:27:31
It's not just about mocking the Joy Reid's and the James
00:27:34
Comedy's other former contestants, Jasmine, Crockett,
00:27:38
Hillary, all of the above. It's about exposing the
00:27:42
hypocrisy that poisons the culture and our country, our
00:27:47
society, our politics. The left screams that Trump
00:27:52
supporters are filled with hate when all we did was stand at a
00:27:56
concert, smiling, clapping, cheering, all of the above while
00:28:01
their side booed and jeered, ready to attack.
00:28:05
It's more than my reality at The Flaming Lips concert.
00:28:09
It's the perfect metaphor. The truth is, more Americans are
00:28:13
waking up. More are looking in the mirror
00:28:16
and realizing that the lies don't match the reality that
00:28:20
they see every day. We don't hate this country, we
00:28:23
love it. We want it to be strong, honest
00:28:26
and free. The only way to fight back
00:28:28
against the woke nonsense and the endless false accusations is
00:28:34
to stand together, and that's what I'm trying to do.
00:28:37
So if you're new here, welcome aboard.
00:28:39
Hope you enjoyed the first of many.
00:28:42
Like and follow and subscribe and all that good stuff.
00:28:45
Comment, ask anybody. I enjoy the interaction.
00:28:49
You're just in time for the name change.
00:28:51
Stay in the fray. Jump on, be one of the first.
00:28:54
If you've been with me since the beginning, I thank you all.
00:28:58
You're the reason that I'm still here.
00:29:01
Not much has changed, don't worry, Except my passion's
00:29:03
burning even hotter than it always has.
00:29:07
So to all of you, thank you. I look forward to many, many
00:29:10
more episodes. Stay loud, stay fearless, stay
00:29:15
unapologetic. Stay in the fray.
00:29:19
Love you guys. All you had to do is just listen
00:29:24
up.
