00:00:00
She's out here arguing that it's not criminal to illegally enter
00:00:05
a country. That's like saying robbery isn't
00:00:08
theft if you don't use a weapon. Try that line the next time you
00:00:12
hop a fence at the airport. The view is what happens when
00:00:15
mimosa menopause spiral and a Facebook conspiracy threat form
00:00:20
a panel and call it journalism. It's basically the Real
00:00:23
Housewives of Cognitive Decline studio lighting production team,
00:00:29
and they're too indoctrinated to say cut.
00:00:31
Hillary Clinton will never be president, but she'll never stop
00:00:34
talking like she almost was. And that's even worse.
00:00:38
At this point, she's less of a political figure and more of a
00:00:43
haunted voicemail left on America's answering machine.
00:00:45
Find the colors and find the light in the prey.
00:00:50
We'll find our sight through the man on fields.
00:00:53
Word, Shadow. St.
00:00:54
St. Motherhood, Welcome to Stay in
00:00:56
the Gray podcast. I'm your host, Ryan, and I'm
00:00:59
here to bring you raw conversations about life and
00:01:03
those undeniable human truths. We dive into the chaos one issue
00:01:07
at a time, blending comedy, controversy, and the
00:01:11
unexplainable. Get ready for transparent ideas
00:01:18
straight from the Gray areas where most answers are hiding.
00:01:23
So stay curious, stay inquisitive, please stay
00:01:27
laughing, stay in the grave. Come check it out.
00:01:30
We'll see you there. Hey everyone, welcome back
00:01:36
another successful hopefully segment of they really said
00:01:41
that. I'm really loving this because I
00:01:44
just feel like every day I just to go into any social media
00:01:49
going, any news outlet going whatever.
00:01:50
And I, I really find myself saying, Oh my God, they, they
00:01:54
really just said that. So I hope you're enjoying this
00:01:57
and I'd like to dive in. It's June the 2nd and it's hot
00:02:01
as shit in Dallas, TX, so hopefully you're staying cool
00:02:04
wherever you are. Today, I'm going to take you
00:02:10
through a guided tour of some of the loudest, dumbest, most
00:02:15
embarrassingly confident voices in politics, media and whatever
00:02:21
Joy Behar claims to be. So grab a drink.
00:02:25
You're going to need it. Let's roll.
00:02:30
Jasmine Crockett. Hopefully I can hear the
00:02:35
collective. Oh, God, here we go.
00:02:39
She is loud, wrong and proud of it.
00:02:43
I'm just going to dive right in. Check this video out and we'll
00:02:47
go from there. It is not a criminal violation
00:02:50
to enter the country illegally. It's not.
00:02:54
It's not a criminal, it's crime. It's not a crime, which is why
00:02:58
they're so frustrated because they really want our local law
00:03:01
enforcement to go out and round. Up people when they could be.
00:03:05
Looking out for the murderers and the sexual abusers.
00:03:07
As well as the robbers, they want them to go and round people
00:03:11
up. On civil accusations.
00:03:14
Oh Jasmine, it's literally what illegal means.
00:03:21
That's like saying it's a it's not a fire hazard, it just
00:03:24
happens to be on fire. She's out here arguing that it's
00:03:28
not criminal to illegally enter a country.
00:03:33
That's like saying robbery isn't theft if you don't use a weapon.
00:03:37
Try that line the next time you hop a fence at the airport.
00:03:41
Let me know how TSA feels about non criminal trespassing.
00:03:46
Here's another Crockett special for you.
00:03:48
As far as I'm concerned, you randomly kidnapping folk and you
00:03:51
throwing them out of the country against their civil rights,
00:03:54
against their constitutional rights.
00:03:56
And frankly, how would they feel if some other country decided
00:03:59
that they were going to just start throwing people randomly
00:04:02
in our country like that? That is absolutely insane.
00:04:06
So yes, all I got to say is y'all need to get these fools
00:04:09
out of here. But I'm.
00:04:13
Hmm. OK, Yes, Jasmine, that's called
00:04:17
deportation. You know, the thing every
00:04:19
country does when immigration laws are broken, They go back to
00:04:26
wait for it the country they're from.
00:04:29
But here's the kicker. The same folks are crying for
00:04:34
due process on the way out. They didn't seem too concerned
00:04:39
for due process on the way in. No visas, no background checks,
00:04:43
no paperwork, but now they want a parade and a court date before
00:04:49
getting put on a plane. It's like breaking into
00:04:52
someone's house, living in their guest room rent free, and then
00:04:55
suing for eviction trauma when the cops finally show up.
00:04:59
Now this was just a warm up. I'm going to show you the real
00:05:05
Jasmine Crockett charm. Here we go.
00:05:07
You. Just.
00:05:08
Voted to do that. So you.
00:05:11
Order, order. I'm trying to get clarification,
00:05:14
look at calm down, calm no. No, no, because this is what?
00:05:17
You all do appreciate I'm trying.
00:05:19
To get you're not recognized here.
00:05:21
You with your yelling don't want calm down.
00:05:23
No, don't tell. Me to calm down, calm down.
00:05:26
Because y'all talk. Calm down.
00:05:27
Indeed, you're out of control. Because if I talk.
00:05:30
Chairman comment up to you about her.
00:05:32
Y'all don't. Have a chairman, Mr. Chairman.
00:05:34
Chair. Chair, OK.
00:05:36
Order chair now recognizes. Not cute.
00:05:39
Wow. Yeah, Shouting over people,
00:05:43
cussing into a mic she wasn't recognized on.
00:05:47
Bringing all the grace of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
00:05:56
I'm. I'm sorry.
00:05:58
This is what you all do. That was my best impression of
00:06:01
Jasmine Crockett. No, this is what you do,
00:06:03
Jasmine. I've seen more professionalism
00:06:06
at a Spirit Airlines boarding gate, and they duct tape their
00:06:10
passengers to their seats. It's unbelievable to me that
00:06:15
this woman can behave like this in our own government.
00:06:19
She's loud and she thinks that she knows all I've got receipts.
00:06:25
Under 8 US Code 1325. Entering the USE legally is a
00:06:29
federal misdemeanor, which is, yes, a crime.
00:06:34
Do it again after being deported.
00:06:36
That's a felony under 8 US Code 1326.
00:06:40
So yes, Jasmine, it is criminal and crimes are deportable
00:06:46
offenses. The fact every sovereign nation
00:06:51
deports people, it is beyond me that you that people like this
00:06:56
are defending illegal immigrants, especially the ones
00:07:01
who have committed further crimes.
00:07:03
So what'd we learn from Miss Jasmine Crockett?
00:07:07
It's not a crime to break the law.
00:07:08
Deporting is. Deportation is oppression.
00:07:12
And yelling really loud must mean you're right.
00:07:15
Let's move on to another one of my favourites, Joy Behar woke
00:07:20
wrong and weirdly obsessed with herself.
00:07:23
Ladies and gentlemen, let me reintroduce you to Joy Behar,
00:07:28
the only person who could turn life saving medical care into a
00:07:33
partisan purity test. Let's roll the footage of
00:07:37
America's favorite wine Ant with a superiority complex.
00:07:42
Check this out I. Wouldn't even let him give me a
00:07:43
Heimlich maneuver. Yeah, that's how little I would
00:07:47
I feel about people I don't know well.
00:07:49
And a. MAGA supporter is like.
00:07:50
Calling you right now. I got it.
00:07:52
Somebody's fixed it. Tell.
00:07:54
That Mega Man, leave you alone. I'm not sleeping with you
00:07:57
anymore. Oh man, this is the same woman
00:08:03
who says she's fighting for tolerance, meanwhile she's out
00:08:08
here turning the Heimlich maneuver into political
00:08:10
tribalism. Let's be honest, Magaman across
00:08:14
America didn't just not care that she said that, they
00:08:18
probably cheered when she said it.
00:08:21
Meanwhile, liberal men are now lining up and scrambling to
00:08:25
switch parties just to avoid being anywhere near that
00:08:28
hypothetical scenario. And yes, of course her phone
00:08:32
goes off mid taping because apparently The View has the
00:08:36
production value of a middle school morning announcement and
00:08:39
the cast professionalism of a group text during wine night.
00:08:43
Honestly, the fact that this show is still on the air proves
00:08:48
one thing. Network TV is way more
00:08:51
comfortable with shrieking nonsense than it is with actual
00:08:56
substance. OK, this is where Joy hits full
00:09:01
MSNBC insanity mode. I was not born in this country
00:09:07
who was born under a apartheid in South Africa, so has that
00:09:10
mentality going on. He was pro apartheid as I
00:09:13
understand it. He was pro apartheid as I
00:09:16
understand it. Now I'm getting some flat
00:09:18
because I said that Musk was pro apartheid.
00:09:22
I don't really know what for sure if he was.
00:09:23
He grew up at that time when the apartheid was in was in full
00:09:27
bloom before the great Nelson Mandela fixed that and he was
00:09:31
around at that time. But maybe he was, maybe he
00:09:33
wasn't. He might have been a young guy
00:09:34
too. Might have been.
00:09:35
So don't be suing me, OK, Elon? Maybe, I don't really know.
00:09:41
He could have been man. It's quite an accusation for
00:09:46
could have been Elon Musk. South Africa, apartheid probably
00:09:51
racist capitalism bad. She literally accuses Elon Musk
00:09:55
of carrying an apartheid mentality without any evidence.
00:10:02
0 none. The man was born in 1971 and
00:10:07
I've got receipts. Apartheid officially ended in
00:10:11
1994 when Nelson Mandela became president.
00:10:15
That's the one thing she got right.
00:10:17
Elon Musk left South Africa in 1988 when he was 17 years old.
00:10:24
There's no record of him supporting or participating in
00:10:26
apartheid. But don't let that stop joy from
00:10:29
race baiting to fill airtime between hot flashes.
00:10:33
So unless Elon was out there running a regime from his high
00:10:36
school chemistry class, this is the dumbest accusation I've
00:10:39
heard in quite a while. And I've listened to TikTok
00:10:42
activists trying to explain or ignore biology.
00:10:46
So just to recap, Joy won't let you save her life if you vote
00:10:50
differently from her. She throws around apartheid
00:10:53
accusations like confetti, and somehow she still thinks she's
00:10:57
the voice of reason. The view is what happens when
00:11:00
mimosa, A menopause spiral, and a Facebook conspiracy threat
00:11:05
form a panel and call it journalism.
00:11:07
It's basically the Real Housewives of Cognitive Decline
00:11:11
studio lighting production team and they're too indoctrinated to
00:11:15
say cut. I don't know who this next lady
00:11:17
is, but she definitely made the cut with this.
00:11:22
Here's the new race bait of the week.
00:11:24
When kale becomes colonialism. Colonialism.
00:11:29
Excuse me. When black women diet,
00:11:33
apparently it's internalized racism.
00:11:36
When white men die or women diet, it's oppression.
00:11:40
Let's meet this woke progressive nutritionist who somehow turned
00:11:45
a Weight Watchers meeting into a civil rights violation.
00:11:48
Check it out. Same diets as white women, we
00:11:52
lose less weight and we lose it slower even when we're following
00:11:56
the diet than our white women counterparts.
00:11:58
It's literally that the racism that you're experiencing and the
00:12:03
struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet don't
00:12:07
work for you. The same.
00:12:12
And just when you think you've heard it all, here comes this
00:12:15
wonderful woman. So let me get this straight.
00:12:17
Diets are racist, the desire to lose weight is colonial, and
00:12:22
healthy eating is a tool of white dominance?
00:12:26
What a goldmine of elitist academic race baiting dressed up
00:12:31
as well as discourse. She's basically saying the
00:12:33
following weight loss programs are tools of oppression because
00:12:36
they're rooted in white ideals of thinness and black women's
00:12:41
bodies aren't supposed to shrink.
00:12:43
This lady could look at a grilled chicken breast and find
00:12:45
systemic justice. She's one step away from calling
00:12:50
the keto diet microaggression. Also saying black women aren't
00:12:54
meant to shrink. That's not empowerment.
00:12:57
It's just repackaged laziness with a racial twist.
00:13:02
You're not helping black women by saying this, you're
00:13:04
gaslighting them into thinking personal health goals are
00:13:07
betrayals. I know you're wondering.
00:13:12
I've got receipts. Obesity and heart disease
00:13:15
disproportionately affect black Americans.
00:13:19
Pretending health advice is racist doesn't solve that, it
00:13:23
hides it. The white supremacy of dieting
00:13:26
is just academic googly gook designed to get tenure or social
00:13:32
media views. Healthy habits aren't racist.
00:13:36
Shaming people for want to be healthy, that's manipulative.
00:13:41
So what did we learn about this woman?
00:13:43
Broccoli is bigotry, calorie counting, colonization, and the
00:13:48
real enemy isn't diabetes, it's the fucking salad bar.
00:13:52
This is what happens when you get a liberal arts degree, a
00:13:54
ring light, and no one in your life willing to say, hey, maybe
00:13:59
you quit with the race card. Maybe it's just carbs, put the
00:14:04
cake down. Moving on to another one of the
00:14:09
classics. I don't know what to say about
00:14:11
this man Tim Walz, The Walking dad joke of American politics.
00:14:16
A guy so painfully average he thinks he's the bait for
00:14:22
Democratic Party during the election to reel in and connect
00:14:25
with white men. Guys who like football and
00:14:29
trucks. I've seen car dealership mascots
00:14:33
with more testosterone than this guy.
00:14:36
Let's roll the tape on tampon, Tim.
00:14:39
The only man who can say something absurd, acts smug
00:14:42
about it and then double down with the comments so dumb you
00:14:45
start questioning that reality My job was to do.
00:14:48
Look, I knew I was on the ticket, I would argue because we
00:14:52
did a lot of amazing progressive things in Minnesota that
00:14:54
improved people's lives. But I also was on the ticket,
00:14:57
quite honestly, you know, because I I could code talk to
00:15:01
white guys watching football, fixing their truck, doing that,
00:15:04
that I could put them at ease. I was the permission structure
00:15:07
to say, look, you can do this and vote.
00:15:12
Oh, don't worry. There's more.
00:15:14
So. So Timmy says he was on the
00:15:16
ticket to connect with white guys by talking football, fixing
00:15:20
trucks. Sure, Tim.
00:15:22
Nothing says I'm one of the boys like crying during diversity
00:15:26
training and flinching when a wrench drops.
00:15:31
Here we go. I I couldn't I couldn't deprive
00:15:35
you of this. I'm going to keep going with
00:15:37
Tim. Yes.
00:15:38
Look, we had the most qualified person who'd run for president
00:15:42
in this country's history at the top of the ticket.
00:15:44
That in itself should have got this thing, one we had, in my
00:15:48
opinion, and you can disagree with me, I think history will
00:15:50
prove me right, A very unqualified person on the other
00:15:53
side. And you have to determine how do
00:15:57
you get those hits? What was the best way?
00:15:59
Did it make sense to continue to, you know, call him weird or,
00:16:04
or call that out or make this pitch that we are significantly
00:16:08
different and our policies can improve your life, improve
00:16:13
lives. OK, Kamala.
00:16:19
The most qualified person to ever run for president in our
00:16:24
history is what Tim Walz claimed.
00:16:27
That's not just wrong, that's intergalactically stupid.
00:16:32
Kamala dropped out of her own primary with less support than
00:16:36
an open bar tab in San Francisco.
00:16:39
Meanwhile, the unqualified guy on the other side had already
00:16:43
been president, ran a booming economy, secured the border, and
00:16:47
fun fact, didn't start any new wars while he was president.
00:16:51
So what exactly were your policies, Tim?
00:16:53
Skyrocketing inflation? Drag shows for second graders?
00:16:57
City's on fire while you nod solemnly and do nothing.
00:17:01
Tell me again how you're going to improve lives, because all I
00:17:06
saw was Target stores barricading windows like it was
00:17:09
a zombie apocalypse. OK, I have one more Tim Walz for
00:17:15
you. I couldn't pass it up.
00:17:18
Take a look. I see Donald Trump and I said it
00:17:20
many months ago that that he will eventually try and
00:17:23
incarcerate political opponents. We saw it whether you know,
00:17:27
threatening my my neighbor and dear friend and a man of you
00:17:30
know, perfect character in in Tony Evers next door to
00:17:34
threatening people who who don't fall in line.
00:17:36
Look, we're going to have a military parade for him.
00:17:38
I I was only half tongue in cheek saying this guy will be in
00:17:41
a military uniform before long. He is fully headed towards
00:17:45
authoritarianism. Wow, wow, Tim.
00:17:49
Here's where it gets rich. Tim accuses Trump of threatening
00:17:54
to jail political opponents. Just think about that while he
00:18:01
stands on a stage backed by the exact people who weaponized the
00:18:05
Department of Justice, buried laptops, indicted their rival 90
00:18:10
plus times, and let's not forget, Kamala was appointed for
00:18:14
the presidential ticket like it was a group project that nobody
00:18:18
wanted to lead. And he says Trump's threatening
00:18:21
people who don't fall in line. No, Tim, he's threatening
00:18:25
corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and deep state cowards who
00:18:30
abused their power, lied to the public, and use federal agencies
00:18:34
like personal weapons. You know, people like the ones
00:18:37
who tried to frame Donald Trump for Russian collusion for four
00:18:41
years while pretending Hunter Biden's laptop was a TikTok
00:18:45
deepfake. He's not going after critics.
00:18:48
He's not going after liars of critics.
00:18:53
He's going after liars, frauds, and unelected swamp dwellers who
00:18:57
think public servant means lifetime immunity.
00:19:02
Yeah, lock them up. I'm fine with that.
00:19:06
So if that makes you nervous, Mr. Walls, maybe you're not as
00:19:09
clean as you pretend to be. Just thought.
00:19:13
Then Walls throws in this bizarre claim that Trump
00:19:17
threatened Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, who apparently is a
00:19:20
friend of his. First of all, no he didn't.
00:19:23
That threat came from Tom Homan, former ICE director under Trump,
00:19:27
who criticized Evers decision to tell state employees to lawyer
00:19:31
up if federal agents showed up. Homan basically said if you
00:19:35
knowingly harbor or conceal illegal immigrants, that's a
00:19:38
felony and we'll treat it as such.
00:19:42
That's not a threat, Tim. That's literally federal law.
00:19:46
But of course, Evers, Wisconsin's very own microwave
00:19:49
safe, Gavin Newsom ran to the cameras calling it a chilling
00:19:53
threat. This is a guy who governs like
00:19:56
an over apologetic Apple store manager.
00:19:59
Of course he found that scary. Let's be honest.
00:20:03
Trump didn't threaten Evers. Homan didn't threaten Evers, but
00:20:07
Evers did threaten the dignity of his state.
00:20:11
By treating basic immigration enforcement like a war crime.
00:20:15
By the way, Tim, tell us more about democracy.
00:20:18
Maybe after Kamala gets more than 0% in a primary that she
00:20:22
wasn't planted in in the most undemocratic way possible.
00:20:28
I've got receipts for this too. Kamala Harris got 0 delegates in
00:20:32
the 2020 Democratic primaries before dropping out, and we all
00:20:36
know how she was placed on the ticket for 2024.
00:20:39
Trump presided over historic low unemployment, energy
00:20:43
independence, and didn't start a single new war.
00:20:46
That's not authoritarianism, that's competence.
00:20:49
And all of those things are fact.
00:20:51
Look them up. The Biden administration has
00:20:55
targeted political dissenters with censorship, collusion, and
00:20:59
federal investigations. Spare us the lectures, Tim.
00:21:04
What did we learn from Timmy? Tim Walz is what happens when
00:21:07
you take suburban wine mom politics and stuff it into a
00:21:12
bass pro shops hoodie. He's a prop.
00:21:15
He's a puppet. He's a painfully average man who
00:21:18
thinks he's the relatable glue holding America together while
00:21:22
spewing nonsense to detach. So detached from reality it
00:21:26
makes CNN blush. Minnesota, I'm sorry.
00:21:31
You deserve way better than this human oatmeal in a blazer.
00:21:36
And no, Tim, you can't kick anyone's ass.
00:21:39
Don't be silly. All right, I'm throwing them all
00:21:43
in the bus tonight. Hillary Clinton, she's still
00:21:48
talking and she's still losing. Hillary is giving advice now to
00:21:51
America's future. First female president, which
00:21:56
kind of like a guy. A guy who crashes a car into a
00:21:59
tree and then he starts giving Formula One driving lessons.
00:22:03
This is a woman who lost to Donald Trump while backed by the
00:22:05
media, Hollywood, Wall Street, the FBI, and Beyoncé.
00:22:11
Somehow she thinks she's the blueprint.
00:22:16
Watch this. What advice do you have the 1st?
00:22:19
Female President of the United States.
00:22:23
Well. Yeah, I'm laughing too.
00:22:28
First of all, don't be a handmaiden to the patriarchy,
00:22:35
which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the
00:22:40
aisle except for very few. Really, let's just start with
00:22:46
the fact that she's answering this question at all.
00:22:50
Hillary giving advice to the first female president is like a
00:22:54
bridesmaid lecturing the bride on how to land the group.
00:22:58
Then she drops this line. Don't be a handmaiden to the
00:23:01
patriarchy. What does that even mean?
00:23:04
Don't work with men. Don't respect them.
00:23:08
Don't let them get serviced by interns under the Resolute Desk.
00:23:11
Oh wait, you want to talk about handmaidens?
00:23:15
Hillary, you cover for Bill harder than Secret Service.
00:23:19
You didn't just enable the patriarchy, you helped it book
00:23:21
hotel rooms. And now you've come out here
00:23:25
regurgitating woke Twitter slogans like they're pearls of
00:23:28
feminist wisdom. No wonder the left keeps losing.
00:23:32
They're too busy dying on hills made of hashtags and therapy
00:23:36
speak. What did we learn from Hillary?
00:23:39
Here's the deal. Hillary Clinton will never be
00:23:42
president, but she'll never stop talking like she almost was.
00:23:47
And that's even worse. At this point, she's less of a
00:23:51
political figure and more of a haunted voicemail left on
00:23:55
America's answering machine. And like most voicemails, we
00:23:59
stopped listening years ago. This one really got to me, and
00:24:04
I'm going to make this one quick.
00:24:06
Meet Brandon Johnson, mayor of Chicago and full time identity
00:24:12
politics mascot. A man so allergic to patriotism
00:24:15
he treated Memorial Day as a second tier event behind Africa
00:24:21
Day. Not veteran's day, not Black
00:24:24
History Month, not even Juneteenth.
00:24:28
He went full globetrotter on Memorial Day.
00:24:31
You can't make this up. Watch this.
00:24:34
Hello, I am Mayor Brandon Johnson and I am proud to join
00:24:37
you in recognizing and celebrating Africa Day.
00:24:42
The continent of Africa is made-up of 1.2 billion people
00:24:47
with diverse countries full of rich traditions, cultures and
00:24:51
heritage. The African Diaspora can be
00:24:54
found in cities and countries around the globe and right here
00:24:59
in Chicago, our proud African communities have made indelible
00:25:03
contributions to the growth and fabric of our amazing city.
00:25:08
So this Africa Day, let us take a moment to celebrate the
00:25:13
achievements of the people of Africa, the progress made by
00:25:17
African nations and their traditions and culture they have
00:25:21
shared with us. I love that African music in the
00:25:27
background. I didn't know we were, that we
00:25:28
weren't supposed to be doing those things.
00:25:32
But so while the rest of the country was honoring fallen
00:25:36
soldiers, you know, the ones who died so Brandon Johnson could
00:25:41
make tone deaf speeches in a city he can't even manage, he's
00:25:45
out here celebrating the achievements of Africa.
00:25:49
All right, Brandon, let's unpack that.
00:25:52
The real achievement for you would be reducing Chicago's
00:25:57
murder rate, fixing your school system, or walking outside
00:26:02
without needing security detail. Instead, Brandon, you're focused
00:26:07
on Africa Day, a holiday that, let's be honest, 98% of your
00:26:13
constituents didn't even know existed until you posted that
00:26:16
clip. This isn't about culture, it's
00:26:19
about distraction. And this is the same guy who
00:26:23
calls accountability dog whistles while the city becomes
00:26:26
a Mad Max prequel. What did we learn from Brandon?
00:26:30
OK, Brandon Johnson is what happens when pandering becomes
00:26:33
policy. He doesn't govern.
00:26:35
He just performs. And on the one day we're
00:26:40
supposed to honor the dead who made America possible, this man
00:26:45
couldn't be bothered to lead with America first.
00:26:49
All these other people and things and causes have a month,
00:26:53
and there's one day. You had one day to do this the
00:26:55
right way. Instead, you chose a continent.
00:26:59
A vague, virtue signaled continent, because being proudly
00:27:04
American might hurt your online image.
00:27:08
This isn't leadership, it's cultural cosplay.
00:27:10
And it's killing cities like Chicago, one performative speech
00:27:15
at a time. I lived in Chicago and and that
00:27:21
city has such great potential if we can get a leader in there
00:27:25
that can do something about it. And last but not least, before
00:27:31
we exit this episode of they Really Said That, let's talk
00:27:35
about the boss from born in the USA to boot in Europe.
00:27:42
So here's Bruce Springsteen, once the blue collar voice of
00:27:46
Jersey diners and union dudes, now ranting against the majority
00:27:51
of American voters from a safe stage over in Europe.
00:27:55
As you'll see here, he refers to the home I've written about my
00:28:00
whole life. Yeah, Bruce, you used to write
00:28:03
about it. Now you just crap on it for
00:28:05
applause. And countries that think it's
00:28:07
fun to Boo us no matter who's in charge?
00:28:11
Watch this in. My home, the American I love the
00:28:18
American I, the Winter guy, Speaking of hope that liberty
00:28:23
for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt
00:28:28
incompetent. And truthful, so we.
00:28:36
Ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American
00:28:40
experience to rise with us. Raise your voices against the
00:28:45
authoritarianism and all freedom around.
00:28:56
Authoritarianism. There's that word again.
00:28:58
I I don't think they know what the words they use means.
00:29:01
I think they need to really look things up on the dictionary.
00:29:04
Or hell, use ChatGPT if you must.
00:29:06
He's up there calling Trump's administration treasonous with
00:29:10
no receipts, no examples, just vibes and a half empty wine
00:29:16
glass backstage. You want to talk about treason?
00:29:21
Let's chat about the people silencing speech, jailing
00:29:24
potential opponents, and bribing social media platforms to hide
00:29:28
the truth. Those are all the folks on your
00:29:32
side, boss. But sure, Rage Against the
00:29:36
voting base that built your career.
00:29:38
Maybe that'll sell another remastered version of Thunder
00:29:41
Rd. I couldn't pass this up.
00:29:45
This is current Dave Bruce performing at at 1 of Kamala
00:29:53
Harris's rallies where she, you know, promised a free concert in
00:29:58
order to get people to show up. I saw this and figured you
00:30:01
needed to see it too. Baby, I could use just a little
00:30:08
help now. You can't start a fire.
00:30:13
You can't start a fire without a spark.
00:30:17
This gun's for hire the unit for just dancing in the dark.
00:30:29
I've heard truck engines sound better when they're dying in the
00:30:33
cold. This man has a nerve to call
00:30:35
anyone incompetent while making that noise in front of a crowd.
00:30:38
Bribe with free tickets and Kamala's fake smile.
00:30:45
Goodness, Bruce, it's been a little more time practicing.
00:30:49
Well, or just hang it up. I think you should hang it up.
00:30:52
And a lot of people came to his defense.
00:30:54
Eddie Vedder, you know, he's another classic example of
00:30:59
someone who just doesn't get it. But I'll talk about Tom Morello,
00:31:04
guitar player for a Rage Against the Machine.
00:31:07
He tried to defend Bruce with the worst possible argument.
00:31:11
Trump is just jealous of Bruce's crowd sizes.
00:31:15
Oh wow, Tom, you mean the entertainer has a big crowd?
00:31:20
That's literally his job, to entertain people.
00:31:24
Trump, meanwhile, in the political world, sells out
00:31:26
arenas without guitars, backup singers or opening acts.
00:31:31
He just talks raw for hours. Let's see how brave Bruce is
00:31:36
when he gets back to the United States.
00:31:38
No wine sipping Euro crowd. No preselected fan zone, just
00:31:43
real Americans who remember when loving your country was not
00:31:47
considered fascist. By the way, Tom Morello, Rage
00:31:52
Against the Machine was great 30 years ago, back when fighting
00:31:57
the government meant something. Now, Tom, you're just another
00:32:01
pampered activist cashing in on victim narratives and corporate
00:32:05
approved rebellion. So what did we learn from the
00:32:07
Boss? Bruce Springsteen.
00:32:10
Bruce Springsteen is no longer the voice of the working man,
00:32:14
he's the voice of the guilt ridden millionaire desperate for
00:32:17
applause from people who hate everything that his fans used to
00:32:21
stand for. You weren't born to run, Bruce.
00:32:25
You were born to sell out. And now you're just another guy
00:32:28
yelling about fascism while charging $500 a ticket to hear
00:32:33
you scream into a mic like it's karaoke United a retirement
00:32:37
home. The revolution isn't at your
00:32:40
concert, it's in the people you continue to insult.
00:32:45
You do not speak for the United States, Bruce.
00:32:51
So to recap the entirety of the show, Jasmine Crockett thinks
00:32:56
illegal immigration isn't illegal.
00:32:59
Joy Behar needs a medic and a muzzle.
00:33:02
Tim Walz thinks he's the Marlboro Man fixing trucks and
00:33:06
talking football. Brandon Johnson skipped Memorial
00:33:10
Day for a geography lesson, and Bruce Springsteen would rather
00:33:15
sing to the Swiss than stand with American values.
00:33:19
It's almost like the people lecturing us the loudest know
00:33:22
the least. But hey, keep letting them talk,
00:33:27
because every time they open their mouths, they prove us
00:33:30
right. And remember, these are the
00:33:33
people that think you're a threat to democracy.
00:33:38
Remember to like, follow, comment, subscribe, all the good
00:33:42
stuff. I know there are a lot of you
00:33:46
that are thinking these same things When you hear when you
00:33:48
hear them, well, I'm going to give them to you full force,
00:33:53
free of charge. Stay inquisitive, stay laughing,
00:33:58
stay in the Gray. Love you guys.
