00:00:00
Donald and Elon start slapping each other on social media like
00:00:02
teenage girls fighting over a hair brush.
00:00:04
Jerry, the liberal thought leader and walking corpse in a
00:00:08
suit, just announced that if we don't let illegal immigrants
00:00:12
flood across our borders, your avocados would die.
00:00:16
This is his argument. Not security, not fairness, not
00:00:20
compassion. Nope, you're here to protect the
00:00:23
lettuce. We're not even allowed to call
00:00:24
them rioters anymore. They're undocumented arsonists
00:00:28
with lived experience. Welcome to Stay in the Grey
00:00:41
Podcast. I'm your host, Ryan, and I'm
00:00:43
here to bring you raw conversations about life and
00:00:47
those undeniable human truths. We dive into the chaos one issue
00:00:51
at a time, blending comedy, controversy, and the
00:00:55
unexplainable. Get ready for transparent ideas
00:01:02
straight from the Gray areas where most answers are hiding.
00:01:07
So stay curious, stay inquisitive, please stay
00:01:11
laughing, stay in the Gray. Come check it out.
00:01:14
We'll see you then. Hey guys, my favorite show.
00:01:21
They really said that again, I'm I'm thoroughly enjoying this and
00:01:26
I feel like every day there's more stuff and more stuff and
00:01:30
more issues that bring on more stuff that said by people do not
00:01:37
admire. So kick back and enjoy.
00:01:40
Here we go. Today I got a buffet of
00:01:43
delusion. Got fat activists, frat
00:01:47
whisperers, Democrats openly calling migrants fruit pickers,
00:01:52
reparations for 104 year old ghosts, and riots that are so
00:01:56
peaceful they just happen to involve arson.
00:02:01
Just when you think the circus couldn't get any Dumber, Donald
00:02:05
and Elon start slapping each other on social media like
00:02:08
teenage girls fighting over a hair brush.
00:02:11
It's June 9th, 2025. Welcome back, let's roll.
00:02:15
I'm just going to jump right in. Take a look at this.
00:02:18
I spent a lot of time on college campuses and I speak a.
00:02:21
Lot of times young men. I love young men.
00:02:24
I, I, I love frat guys. And in that I've realized like
00:02:29
even the ones that identify as conservative are almost always
00:02:32
pro-choice. They're almost always pro gay
00:02:35
marriage. You'd be surprised at the number
00:02:37
of them who support a Black Lives Matter.
00:02:39
It's so I feel like people just kind of lump them into this box
00:02:43
when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the
00:02:47
issues. They're just not part of our
00:02:49
coalition because they feel like they're not welcomed in it.
00:02:51
Really. That's Miss Olivia Juliana.
00:02:58
She's some sort of lefty lunatic activists who has somehow gained
00:03:04
some some viewership on her platforms.
00:03:07
And of course she loves frat guys.
00:03:09
I mean, who wouldn't? Beer bongs and protein farts
00:03:13
backwards hats? I'm guilty of that.
00:03:15
They just scream progressive empathy don't they?
00:03:19
She claims they're mostly liberal on the issues.
00:03:22
Really. You're basing them off what, 2
00:03:25
dudes who nodded while trying not to look at your name badge?
00:03:29
You think frat Bros are up at night debating climate equity
00:03:33
system systemic wage gaps? Nope, they're pre gaming to Joe
00:03:38
Rogan clips and venmoing $14.00 to a girl named Kelsey who still
00:03:42
hasn't texted back. And let's be honest, they're
00:03:46
telling you what you want to hear Olivia, because they think
00:03:50
you work for the Dean for the cafeteria.
00:03:54
Here's another one from Miss Juliana.
00:03:57
If you're not at the table, you're on the menu.
00:04:01
So, Gen. Z, let's take our seat in our
00:04:04
democracy. Some people, some people might
00:04:07
think that that wasn't very nice to play, but maybe you don't
00:04:13
reference food, Olivia, or tables.
00:04:17
Or menus. You're not helping yourself.
00:04:20
If anyone should avoid culinary metaphors, that would be you.
00:04:26
Next time just say get involved and spare us those buffet
00:04:30
visuals. Look, there's nothing wrong with
00:04:32
confidence Olivia. But this whole routine where you
00:04:35
try and re brand yourself as the liberal frat whisperer is like
00:04:40
me claiming to know what it's like to be a 23 year old drag
00:04:43
queen in Portland. Just no.
00:04:45
No, you're not invited to the pregame, you're not converting
00:04:50
anyone and you're not at the table.
00:04:53
You're being humoured politely by dudes who are just trying to
00:04:57
graduate and party. Next, how about Democratic Rep
00:05:06
Jerry Nadler? Has anybody ever heard of this
00:05:08
guy? Well, I have now, so take a look
00:05:12
at Jerry. And we need immigrants in this
00:05:15
country. Forget the fact that the farm
00:05:20
that are are are vegetables would rot in the ground if it
00:05:25
weren't if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many
00:05:29
illegal immigrants. Yes, everyone, he just said that
00:05:36
Jerry the liberal thought leader and walking corpse in a suit
00:05:41
just announced that if we don't let illegal immigrants flood
00:05:44
across our borders, your avocados will die.
00:05:48
This is his argument. Not security, not fairness, not
00:05:52
compassion. Nope, He's here to protect the
00:05:55
lettuce. According to Jerry, these
00:05:58
migrants offer nothing else. Not culture, not skills, not
00:06:03
innovation, just manual labor. That's what he said, clear as
00:06:06
day. They are, in his words, the farm
00:06:09
hands America can't live without.
00:06:12
Now pause and imagine, just imagine if someone on the right
00:06:17
said this. If we don't bring in illegal
00:06:21
immigrants, who's going to pick our crops?
00:06:24
They'd be called racist, dehumanizing, treating people
00:06:28
like field animals. But when Democrat says it, it's
00:06:31
just economic reality. Bro, this man just turned the
00:06:36
immigration debate into a glorified chore chart.
00:06:40
And even if that were the case, does it justify breaking the law
00:06:44
and being here illegally? Are we just throwing the
00:06:47
constitution in a wood chipper because Jerry's worried about
00:06:51
produce dying alone in a field? This might be the dumbest hill
00:06:56
I've ever seen someone try and die on.
00:06:58
Let him break the law. Otherwise the tomatoes might
00:07:00
suffer. Here's a thought.
00:07:02
If your national strategy is built around illegal labor,
00:07:07
maybe the problem isn't crossing the border.
00:07:10
Maybe the problem is you. Next, another person I hadn't
00:07:17
really heard of. And I don't, I mean, no, don't
00:07:19
claim to know every senator, mayor, congressperson in the
00:07:24
country. It'd be very difficult to do.
00:07:28
But this mayor of Oklahoma, Monroe Nichols the 4th, has made
00:07:33
a little bit of headlines from something he said a couple days
00:07:38
ago and something he's been working on.
00:07:40
I'll just play the clip for you. Here's Monroe.
00:07:42
Imagine a city without the massacre.
00:07:46
Imagine if Greenwood would have continued to thrive
00:07:49
uninterrupted. Imagine what that would have
00:07:51
meant for our economy. Imagine what it would have meant
00:07:55
for outcomes for our children. Imagine what it would have meant
00:07:59
for public safety. And most importantly, imagine
00:08:04
the trust and faith we would have built in each other over
00:08:09
these last 104 years. I'm announcing that my office
00:08:13
has been working alongside our legal department on the
00:08:15
establishment of the Greenwood Trust, a private charitable
00:08:19
trust that will raise and facilitate the investment of
00:08:23
$105 in private funds among our roads to repair,
00:08:26
restoration and right. OK, so those of you that don't
00:08:34
know what this is, basically there was an incident in 1921
00:08:39
based on race and, and streets were burned and things like
00:08:42
that, which is horrible. But all of these things he's
00:08:46
offering to do or he's doing now.
00:08:48
So yeah, education grants, scholarships, housing support,
00:08:53
they're bold ideas, revolutionary stuff.
00:08:57
In 1964, Monroe is selling 60 year old policies like they're
00:09:02
hot off the press. Because if you if you wrap it in
00:09:06
historical trauma and call it reparations, suddenly you're a
00:09:10
moral, A moral architect. Never mind that these exact
00:09:15
programs exist right now in every failing metro in the
00:09:20
country. You want a test case?
00:09:22
Let's take a stroll through Minneapolis.
00:09:24
How? How about we do that?
00:09:26
The city burned in 2020. We all know that.
00:09:28
Billions in damage police precinct torched.
00:09:32
What came next? More community grants, more
00:09:35
housing support. You know it didn't come back.
00:09:37
The businesses, the jobs, the trust.
00:09:41
Take a field trip with me to Chicago.
00:09:43
Billions spent on equity grants, education access, housing aid.
00:09:48
Yet somehow this public schools are war zones and the murder
00:09:52
rate looks like a third world conflict.
00:09:55
How about Baltimore? Years of federally funded uplift
00:09:58
programs, dozens of nonprofits. The literacy rate is so bad that
00:10:03
the kids are graduating high school unable to read.
00:10:07
We've tried this Monroe model before and it doesn't repair
00:10:10
anything. It just launders guilt through a
00:10:13
checkbook and hopes that nobody notices that the city still on
00:10:17
fire. And let's not forget, this isn't
00:10:20
even about helping people today. This is about atoning for 1921,
00:10:26
because obviously there are folks walking around today in
00:10:30
Tulsa in 2025 who are still emotionally wrecked by something
00:10:35
that happened 104 years ago. You know who isn't getting
00:10:38
reparations? The business owner who whose
00:10:42
shop got looted in 2020. A cop who got a brick in the
00:10:45
face during mostly peaceful protests.
00:10:49
The victims of modern brutality. Real time destruction, no
00:10:53
scholarships for them, no housing initiatives, just
00:10:57
silence. Where's your voice for that,
00:10:59
Monroe? Where's your outrage over the
00:11:02
present? Now there's LA literal war zones
00:11:08
during riots again. Protests though, right?
00:11:13
They're just protests. Same blueprint.
00:11:16
Pour more money into community revitalization programs while
00:11:20
dodging any conversation about law and order or actual results.
00:11:26
But sure, Monroe keep preaching about the sins of 1921.
00:11:31
Meanwhile, how about Cory Booker?
00:11:34
He's out there telling us this time that the riots aren't that
00:11:37
bad. The reality is we see peaceful
00:11:40
protests launching in Los Angeles, and again, any violence
00:11:44
against police officers should not be accepted.
00:11:47
Local authorities can handle that.
00:11:49
But remember, a lot of these peaceful protests are being
00:11:51
generated because the President of the United States is sowing
00:11:55
chaos and confusion by arresting people who are showing up for
00:12:01
their immigration hearing. Oh Cory, Cory, Cory.
00:12:05
Mostly peaceful. You know who else is mostly
00:12:08
peaceful? A serial killer on laundry day.
00:12:12
Cory Booker gets on camera, speaks with that trademark.
00:12:15
I just read a James Baldwin quote on a coffee mug energy and
00:12:18
tells America relax, the local cops got this.
00:12:22
Do they? By the way, I'm not sure what
00:12:48
these people are waving the flags of the country they're
00:12:50
trying to avoid going back to. It's beyond me.
00:12:56
But yeah, totally under control, Corey.
00:12:58
Cops look like they're good shape.
00:13:00
And if by control, you mean targets on fire, some dude in a
00:13:04
hoodie just ran off with 40 pairs of Nikes and a stolen
00:13:08
Prius. And the punchline?
00:13:11
Booker blames Trump. That's right.
00:13:14
He says it's Trump's fault for daring to arrest illegal
00:13:18
immigrants. What, you mean the president
00:13:22
enforced immigration law that caused people to flip over cop
00:13:26
cars and torch 7 elevens? It's like saying your house
00:13:30
burned down because the fire department didn't bring snacks.
00:13:34
These people treat criminals like misunderstood poets.
00:13:38
Every time there's chaos they point fingers to the people
00:13:41
trying to hold the line. We're not even allowed to call
00:13:45
them rioters anymore. They're undocumented arsonists
00:13:49
with lived experience. That leads me to one of my
00:13:54
favorites. I don't know how this man hasn't
00:13:57
been run out of his state yet, but let's talk about Governor
00:14:01
Gavin Newsom of California. The man, the myth, the
00:14:05
hairstyle. Dude, your city's literally on
00:14:08
fire. Not where you are, of course.
00:14:12
You're in the North. LA police are being attacked in
00:14:15
the streets. Looters are treating Rodeo Dr.
00:14:18
like back Black Friday at Footlocker.
00:14:21
And what do you say immediately? It's Trump's fault for sending
00:14:26
in the National Guard. Take a look.
00:14:27
I wonder how you would characterize the events that are
00:14:30
unfolding in Los Angeles right now.
00:14:31
Is it an emergency? Is it Fox News is calling it the
00:14:34
LA riots? Is it a peaceful protest?
00:14:36
What's happening? What are you seeing?
00:14:37
Well, I mean, look, the Donald Trump has created the conditions
00:14:40
you see on your TV tonight. He's exacerbated the conditions.
00:14:44
He's, you know, lit the Berberial match.
00:14:46
He's putting fuel on this fire ever since he announced he was
00:14:49
taking over the National Guard in a legal act, an immoral act,
00:14:53
an unconstitutional act. And we're going to test that
00:14:55
theory with a lawsuit tomorrow. Yeah, I'll let you know how
00:15:00
that's going to go. You can't make this up.
00:15:03
According to The Newsroom, the real problem isn't the rioters,
00:15:07
it's the people trying to stop them.
00:15:09
And it gets better, he says sending in the guard fueled the
00:15:14
fire. Yes, Gavin, Because before the
00:15:18
National Guard showed up, everyone was just peacefully
00:15:20
protesting, roasting marshmallows and singing John
00:15:23
Lennon songs with each other. Let me remind you.
00:16:04
Yeah, looks under control. This enrages me to see these
00:16:09
videos. It's a bunch of animals.
00:16:11
It's like they're looking for a reason to just be animals.
00:16:16
And no, Gavin, you let the chaos fester.
00:16:20
You let illegal criminals brutalize cops and destroy
00:16:25
businesses, and when someone with a spine tried to restore
00:16:28
order, you cried about the Constitution.
00:16:32
And I don't even think you know what you're talking about.
00:16:34
This man really said it was immoral to enforce the law.
00:16:39
News slash Gavin, it's your job to deploy the guard.
00:16:44
It's your job to protect your state.
00:16:47
But instead you're tweeting like a middle schooler in a turf war.
00:16:51
Check this tweet out. As you can see here, he says
00:16:55
Trump supporters czar is threatening to arrest me for
00:16:58
speaking out. Come and get me, tough guy.
00:17:04
I don't give a damn. It won't stop me from standing
00:17:07
up for a California. And the video he posted is
00:17:10
basically him saying those exact things.
00:17:13
Where to start? Come get me, tough guy.
00:17:16
What is this, the West Side Story?
00:17:18
Are you going to dance? Fight the borders?
00:17:20
Yard at parking garage? You're supposed to be a leader.
00:17:24
This isn't leadership, it's cosplay.
00:17:27
It's Gavin Newsom playing resistance hero while his state
00:17:31
collapses around him like a bad Netflix dystopia.
00:17:36
You know what fuels the fire? Gavin letting rioters run wild,
00:17:40
letting criminals stay illegal and letting cowardice wear
00:17:45
$400.00 gel in his hair and pretend it's brave.
00:17:50
You're trash next. All right, well, I couldn't
00:17:57
couldn't do a show call. They really said that without
00:18:00
speaking on Elon Musk and Donald Trump and this little hissy fit
00:18:06
that they have going on between them.
00:18:10
Billionaire ego war is basically what I what I'm calling it.
00:18:14
The whole digital circus is rooted in tax credits.
00:18:18
Trump guts the electric vehicle incentives in his energy bill.
00:18:25
Musk throws a fit calling it a disgusting abomination and
00:18:29
suddenly it's World War three between two of the most powerful
00:18:32
voices on the right. We got 2 billionaire kings at
00:18:35
war over the loss of $7500 subsidy per Tesla while the rest
00:18:41
of us are busy worrying about inflation, borders, and global
00:18:45
chaos. Then it escalates.
00:18:47
Check this out. Elon tweets that Trump won't
00:18:50
release the Epstein client list because he's on it.
00:18:58
You can't make it up there. It is trying to drop a really
00:19:01
big bomb at real. Donald Trump is in the Epstein
00:19:05
files. That's the real reason they have
00:19:07
not been made public. Have a nice day, Donald J Trump,
00:19:11
he really said that. It's right there.
00:19:13
Except it was debunked immediately by an Epstein
00:19:16
attorney. Trump was never a client, never
00:19:19
on the list. But facts don't matter right now
00:19:22
during an ego meltdown. So how does Trump respond?
00:19:25
Well, as we all know, it's Donald.
00:19:27
He comments on a video saying that the following.
00:19:32
That totally was a Nazi salute that Elon did, by the way.
00:19:35
You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
00:19:39
In case you missed it, I should have been better prepared.
00:19:42
There's a clip of Elon giving a speech and he does a a gesture
00:19:49
that was simply him pressing his hand to his heart and pouring it
00:19:54
out to the crowd. Everybody knows that now,
00:19:57
Donald. I think Donald's just being
00:19:59
funny here. I don't think he really believes
00:20:02
that it was a Nazi salute. Is it clever?
00:20:06
Sure. Is it necessary right now in
00:20:08
this country? Probably not Donald.
00:20:12
But it's not a joke that he's that he he said that billionaire
00:20:16
tech CEO points at a crowd, just like so many on the left accused
00:20:20
him. Trump took the opportunity to
00:20:23
make that job just like all the lefties did.
00:20:26
And this is where we are two guys that should be building our
00:20:28
future are busy nuking each other over Twitter drama.
00:20:33
Lastly, this is where I think that it went too far.
00:20:38
Some dude named Ian Miles Chong, I looked at his work and it's
00:20:44
not impressive. He he quote, posted something on
00:20:48
Twitter or excuse me, X not long after the president versus Elon,
00:20:52
who wins? My money's on Elon.
00:20:55
Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.
00:20:58
And Elon Musk reposted it with a comment.
00:21:01
Yes, in a sense calling for Trump to be impeached.
00:21:07
Not a jab. That's not a disagreement.
00:21:09
He's talking about impeachment over policy differences and
00:21:13
Trump holding out the EV part of it way too far.
00:21:19
Elon, I'm sorry, you don't nuke the one guy who's actually stood
00:21:23
up to the machine because your subsidy got cut.
00:21:27
And here's the part that stinks. Elon is doing good for this
00:21:31
country. He's fighting censorship,
00:21:33
exposing media corruption, and he's dragging AI in the right
00:21:37
direction. But we voted for Trump, Elon, we
00:21:41
need borders closed, energy booming, schools fixed.
00:21:44
We need a federal government that handles these things.
00:21:48
We don't need billionaire slap fights that divide the one group
00:21:52
of people actually trying to save the country.
00:21:57
This ends now. Please get in a room, talk like
00:22:01
adults. We need both of you and we don't
00:22:04
have time for this crap. I'm sincerely hoping that a lot
00:22:09
of the theories that are out there, a lot of the what do you
00:22:13
call them conspiracy theory that you 2 are sitting there laughing
00:22:18
your asses off at the entire world analyzing this hissy fight
00:22:23
between you 2. Please be the truth.
00:22:26
At least get to that point where you can continue to have the
00:22:29
left think that this is the greatest thing in the world and
00:22:33
then maybe you can get back to where you need to be.
00:22:36
So what have we learned from all this today?
00:22:39
From frat to cosplay to fruit picking talking points, ghost
00:22:44
reparations to peaceful fires, it's clear these people have
00:22:49
lost the plot. But we haven't.
00:22:53
We see through the slogans, we see who's actually breaking
00:22:57
things and who's too scared to stop them.
00:23:00
So until they stop saying dumb shit, we'll be here and I'll
00:23:05
keep giving it to you every single time.
00:23:08
So stay questioning, stay laughing, stay in the grave.
00:23:13
Love you guys.
