00:00:00
Should America actually get a say?
00:00:02
You know, the thing called democracy that Democrats
00:00:05
supposedly love until it's inconvenient for them?
00:00:09
We would have to amend the 25th Amendment.
00:00:13
So here we are staring at fake outrage death wish politics.
00:00:18
Wishing death or illness on a president isn't patriotism, it's
00:00:23
hatred on steroids. Using a swollen hand photo to
00:00:27
fantasize about rewriting the constitution is the dumbest
00:00:31
thing I've seen all week. And I watched the TikTok
00:00:33
yesterday explaining how the moon is definitely fake because
00:00:36
it's not in 4K. Welcome to stay in the Fray
00:00:46
podcast. I'm your host Ryan.
00:00:48
This is where headlines get hit hard.
00:00:50
Hypocrisy gets shredded and the absurd are laughed at.
00:00:54
If you want comfort, this isn't your place.
00:00:56
If you want blunt and unfiltered, I'm your guy.
00:00:59
Join me in the fray. All you need to do is just
00:01:03
listen up. All right?
00:01:07
Hey everyone, let's talk about the US Constitution that is now
00:01:13
trending, and it's not because anyone's read it.
00:01:17
The 25th Amendment is suddenly the new obsession it was meant
00:01:21
for. If a president is incapacitated,
00:01:25
you know, like, can't breathe, can't think, can't function.
00:01:30
Not. He had a swollen hand at a
00:01:32
rally. Quit.
00:01:34
Call the morgue. That's right.
00:01:36
Trump's hand looked a little puffy in a picture, and the left
00:01:40
lost. What was little was left of
00:01:42
their collective minds. They're circling like vultures,
00:01:46
hoping the man kills over. They don't even know why.
00:01:49
Is it because Jimmy Kimmel said so in late night?
00:01:51
Is it because Taylor Swift hasn't dropped a single in 48
00:01:55
hours about Joy Reid tweeting something in all caps?
00:01:59
Or Janet at the fucking water cooler told you to?
00:02:03
Or your uncle who thinks he knows politics wouldn't shut up
00:02:07
at Thanksgiving? Or how about your super liberal
00:02:09
professor at Woke State University gave some sort of
00:02:13
lecture about it all? Happiest people couldn't even
00:02:15
explain what the 25th amendment is.
00:02:18
You could staple it on their forehead and they they'd still
00:02:21
chant. Unfit to be president Louder
00:02:23
than the gender studies class protest.
00:02:26
Protesting of free speech. And of course that means we get
00:02:29
the next round of speculation. JD Vance, the actual Marine, and
00:02:35
you can practically see the Liberals salivating,
00:02:39
brainstorming ways to torch him before he even gets close to the
00:02:42
big chair. Fake Marine accusations,
00:02:45
personal digs, whatever sticks. Doesn't matter if it's true,
00:02:50
doesn't matter if it makes sense, as long as it's another
00:02:53
dart thrown at someone, the wrong letter next to his name.
00:02:57
While we're at it, let's take this a step further.
00:03:01
Should we even allow vice presidents to just slide in
00:03:05
without a new election? Should America actually get a
00:03:08
say? You know, the thing called
00:03:11
democracy that Democrats supposedly love until it's
00:03:14
inconvenient for them? We would have to amend the 25th
00:03:19
Amendment. So here we are, staring at fake
00:03:22
outrage, death wish politics, and the kind of hypocrisy that
00:03:27
makes you wonder if these people even believe the garbage that
00:03:31
they say out loud. And if you're worn out from this
00:03:34
automatic hate machine running 24/7 as well as woke fatigue
00:03:39
like I have, then welcome home. This is where you need to be.
00:03:45
This is Stay in the Fray podcast.
00:03:48
It is September the 1st, 2025. Let's roll.
00:03:53
I've got my dates all mixed up. It's been a long weekend.
00:03:57
Happy Labor Day to all of you here in the United States.
00:04:01
I'm working hard on it. So apparently Trump's hand
00:04:04
looked a little swollen in a photo.
00:04:07
That's it. No medical reports, no collapse
00:04:10
at a podium. Just a picture where his hand
00:04:13
looks a little puffier than usual.
00:04:16
Suddenly 25th Amendment is trending wherever you look,
00:04:20
folks. This amendment wasn't written
00:04:21
for swollen hands. It came after JFK was
00:04:24
assassinated because nobody even knew who was officially in
00:04:28
charge when that happened. It was basically, figure it out
00:04:31
everybody. The amendment made it official.
00:04:34
If the president can't do the job, like if he's shot in the
00:04:39
head in a car here in Dallas like JFK, the vice president
00:04:43
steps in. It's made to be simple.
00:04:46
It was used when Nixon stepped down for Watergate.
00:04:50
Reagan actually invoked it when he was shot and went under
00:04:53
anesthesia. George W Bush invoked it twice
00:04:57
for colonoscopies just in case Biden did the same thing.
00:05:02
Those are real reasons. It was not created for swollen
00:05:05
hands or Twitter gossip. It was created so the country
00:05:08
doesn't have a panic attack every time the president
00:05:10
sneezes. And let's talk about the
00:05:12
brilliant theories for a swollen hand.
00:05:14
Maybe he hit it on a fucking door.
00:05:17
Maybe he fist bumped too hard. Maybe Melania slapped it away
00:05:21
when he reached for her fries. Maybe he's been golfing so much
00:05:24
that his hand finally looks like an overstuffed baseball glove.
00:05:28
I golf a lot. That can happen, who knows?
00:05:31
I've had worse swelling than that picture from grabbing
00:05:34
groceries out of my car in Texas heat with a left solid and boom,
00:05:38
they go into which cackle mode. Oh, is this the end?
00:05:42
Is he finally going down? These are the same people who
00:05:45
plaster Kindness Matter bumper stickers on their Priuses.
00:05:49
Love wins. Unless it's Trump, then they're
00:05:52
practically live streaming their fantasy of him in a hospital bed
00:05:55
all over social media. And here's what makes me want to
00:05:59
pour a Scotch at noon. Most of them don't even know why
00:06:03
they hate him so much. They think they're educated.
00:06:08
They think they're not. It's feelings over facts with
00:06:11
these people. They believe that if you ever
00:06:14
admit that Donald Trump did something good, you've
00:06:17
automatically joined the MAGA fan club.
00:06:20
How about recently? Let's use an example.
00:06:23
Oh the fact that he has lowered crime and cleaned up the streets
00:06:27
in Washington DC. That's not just speculation,
00:06:31
that's facts. Armed robbery is down.
00:06:33
Homicide is down. Things that you haven't seen in
00:06:37
decades in DC have happened. The liberals are mad because the
00:06:42
president is lowering crime. How dare he make it make sense.
00:06:47
Don't even get me started on that asshole mayor in Chicago.
00:06:51
50 something people were shot like this over the weekend.
00:06:54
But no, can't let Trump have a win.
00:06:57
Their outrage is not rooted in reality.
00:06:59
It's rooted in the idea that acknowledging facts makes you a
00:07:03
traitor to your team. And now they're practically
00:07:06
salivating over the idea of the 25th possibly having to be
00:07:10
invoked. If it was invoked, it would mean
00:07:13
that something happened to our president.
00:07:15
It's revolting that they're cheering this on.
00:07:18
Wishing death or illness on a president isn't patriotism, It's
00:07:22
hatred on steroids. And honestly, if your version of
00:07:27
activism is zooming in on Trump's hand like it's a blurry
00:07:30
UFO sighting, you probably need a new hobby.
00:07:34
Here's the truth. The only way that the left is
00:07:38
ever going to beat Donald Trump is when he chooses to walk away
00:07:44
or when he's literally no longer able to serve as president.
00:07:47
Until then, he lives rent free in their heads, causing them to
00:07:51
scream louder than their student loan debt collector.
00:07:54
And when he does leave, well, remember this, He's currently
00:07:58
training JD Vance. Trumpism isn't going anywhere.
00:08:03
It's evolving. Which brings us to the next
00:08:06
target of their tantrum, JD Vance, our Vice President.
00:08:09
Let's talk about the upcoming trendy punching bag for the
00:08:13
left, Mr. Vance. Now that they've convinced
00:08:15
themselves that Trump is 1 swollen knuckle away from the
00:08:18
morgue, the conversation shifts. Well, what about Vance?
00:08:22
How would he do? Well, with or without Trump's
00:08:25
swollen hand, the lefties know they're going to be dealing with
00:08:29
JD when he wins in 2028, so it's not surprising that they're
00:08:33
already spinning false narratives and dangerous
00:08:36
rhetoric about him now. And of course, someone actually
00:08:40
said this, that he's not a real Marine.
00:08:44
What does that mean? The man went through boot camp,
00:08:47
combat training, wore the uniform, took the oath, did his
00:08:51
damn service. Apparently, if you don't storm
00:08:54
the beaches of Normandy or parachute into Kabul while
00:08:57
juggling grenades, you just pretend military.
00:09:02
Meanwhile, you guys have Tim Walz over here playing stolen
00:09:06
valor bingo, rewriting his military resume on LinkedIn like
00:09:10
its profile update. The same liberals nod along and
00:09:13
say, Oh yeah, Tim Walz totally authentic.
00:09:17
But JD Vance? Nope, he's fake Marine.
00:09:20
He didn't go to combat. The mental gymnastics required
00:09:24
to land that argument could power the entire California grid
00:09:28
and beyond. That kind of rhetoric is flat
00:09:30
out disrespectful to every service man and set every
00:09:34
service woman who put the uniform on but never happened to
00:09:38
be dropped behind enemy lines. Service is service, period.
00:09:43
And I thank all of them. And when they're not going after
00:09:46
his service, they're nitpicking everything else about him.
00:09:49
Of course they mock how he talks, how he how he looks.
00:09:52
I think he's an attractive man. They say he wears eyeliner.
00:09:56
I'll admit it, sometimes JD looks like he's got a little
00:09:59
eyeliner on. But have you seen that side
00:10:01
stare? Though he looks over during a
00:10:03
debate, he does not look soft with that eyeliner.
00:10:07
It makes him look like a badass. That little glance to the side
00:10:11
is not emo rock band, it's screaming Marine who's about to
00:10:16
choke out your bad argument like a boss.
00:10:19
And if Eyeliner is the best insult that they have against
00:10:22
him, then the man's already winning.
00:10:24
So please keep it up. Here's some more truth.
00:10:27
JD Vance is sharp, he's disciplined and he's grounded.
00:10:31
He didn't just serve, he built himself up from dirt poor
00:10:35
beginnings. He went to Yale, he wrote a best
00:10:38
selling book, and then he walked into Washington with the spine
00:10:41
of a Marine and the brains of a lawyer.
00:10:45
That's a dangerous combo for the left.
00:10:47
Which is exactly why they're terrified of him.
00:10:51
You want to know how he'd do as president?
00:10:53
Well, First off, if the Dems run Gavin Newsom in 2028, he'll mop
00:10:58
the floor with him. Biggest landslide in a long,
00:11:01
long time. Can you imagine that debate
00:11:03
stage? JD Vance with facts grounded,
00:11:06
common sense, actual service under his belt versus Newsom.
00:11:11
The thing it it, it looks like he's auditioning for the role of
00:11:13
slimy villain in the 80s movies. So yeah, the left is already
00:11:18
trying to kneecap him. JD before he even gets the shot
00:11:23
is deep down they know JD Vance represents something that they
00:11:28
hate competence. And worse for them, he's
00:11:32
rounding it all out with direct training from Donald Trump.
00:11:37
That's their nightmare. Not just Trump, but Trump 2
00:11:40
point O with Marine discipline and someone who, like Donald
00:11:44
Trump, truly loves his country. All right, so here's where it
00:11:47
gets a little messy. Let's say the president can't
00:11:52
serve anymore. Health, age, God forbid.
00:11:55
Whatever it is right now, the way it reads the 25th Amendment
00:12:01
just slides the vice president into the chair and says,
00:12:04
congratulations, you're the president.
00:12:08
No election, no vote. Just swap the nameplate and
00:12:10
carry on. But should that be the way that
00:12:13
it works? Should 330 million Americans
00:12:16
have absolutely no say and we get stuck with whoever was
00:12:19
picked as VPI? Mean Kamala Harris was 179 year
00:12:23
old Biden brain freeze away from running the country.
00:12:26
Nobody voted for her to be president.
00:12:28
She dropped out of the Democratic primary before a
00:12:30
single ballot was cast because she was polling at roughly the
00:12:34
same number as a gas station hot dog.
00:12:37
Yet she was literally a heartbeat away from the Oval
00:12:41
Office. It's a little insane.
00:12:44
And yes, you could argue that that's why vice president picks
00:12:48
matter. Maybe we should treat the
00:12:50
presidential ticket as a package deal, like voting for both at
00:12:54
once for the presidency, just in case.
00:12:57
But don't pretend Americans were actually lining up excited to
00:13:01
put Kamala Harris in the big chair.
00:13:03
That was proven in the 2024 election.
00:13:06
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to be a hypocrite here.
00:13:09
I call all of the hypocrites out, and I refuse to be 1.
00:13:13
If a Democrat president had to invoke the 25th because they
00:13:16
truly could not serve, I wouldn't scream fraud.
00:13:20
I wouldn't love that outcome. I'd like to, of course, have
00:13:24
another chance to vote the Democrats out, but I'd accept it
00:13:28
because that's how the Constitution is written.
00:13:31
The only time I'd call it out is if it was obvious that the
00:13:33
president was perfectly fine and they just wanted to change it
00:13:36
up, which is exactly the kind of dirty tricks we've already seen
00:13:40
from the Democrat Party. So here's the danger.
00:13:43
If we ripped up the 25th amendment and forced new
00:13:46
elections every time a president sneezed, it would be chaos.
00:13:50
The opposition party would weaponize it.
00:13:52
He coughed unfit new election. We'd be holding 5 elections
00:13:57
every four years, CNN would be bankrupt from hiring too many
00:14:00
holograms, and half the country would be permanently standing in
00:14:04
line at polling stations. Who even decides if a president
00:14:07
is unfit? Is it a doctor?
00:14:09
A panel of 12 doctors? Congress, please.
00:14:13
Congress can't even decide a lunch order without shutting
00:14:16
down the Supreme Court. I imagine letting 9 judges just
00:14:20
decide the presidency like it's American Idol.
00:14:23
Crooked, politicized, and a disaster waiting to happen.
00:14:26
And don't forget, the Democrats already pulled the most
00:14:30
undemocratic stunt of all when they yanked Biden off the 2024
00:14:35
ticket and shoved Kamala in without a single vote.
00:14:40
If Republicans ever tried something like that, you'd see
00:14:42
CNN and MSNBC meltdown so hard that Rachel Maddow would drown
00:14:47
in her own pathetic tears. So yeah, it's complicated.
00:14:51
And no, I don't pretend to have the magical solution.
00:14:55
I'm trying to stay neutral here. But I do know this.
00:14:59
Using a swollen hand photo to fantasize about rewriting the
00:15:03
Constitution is the dumbest thing I've seen all week.
00:15:07
And I watched the TikTok yesterday explaining how the
00:15:09
moon is definitely fake because it's not in 4K.
00:15:14
So there it is folks. The 25th amendment trending.
00:15:18
It was not written for Twitter tantrums, swollen knuckles, or
00:15:21
celebrity gossip panels. It was written to keep
00:15:24
government stable. But now it's being twisted into
00:15:28
fan fiction plot for people who cannot sleep unless they dream
00:15:32
about Trump dying. That's not politics, that's
00:15:36
sickness. That's Trump Derangement
00:15:38
syndrome. I'll say this, If Biden had
00:15:41
stepped aside and Kamala took over Kamala, however you say her
00:15:45
name, I'd have hated it. But I'd have respected the
00:15:48
process because again, that's what is in the Constitution
00:15:51
today. And it wasn't like we all didn't
00:15:53
know that Joe was needing arrest.
00:15:57
What I don't respect is this gleeful cheerleading for death.
00:16:01
I would never do that. This hypocrisy about who counts
00:16:04
as a real Marine is also pissing me off.
00:16:08
And the nonsense about vice presidents being illegitimate
00:16:11
until Democrats want them to be. So let me ask you now, as we
00:16:14
end, should we demand new elections if a president cannot
00:16:18
serve any any longer? Or is that just chaos waiting to
00:16:23
happen and we should keep things the way they are?
00:16:26
That's the debate. It's simple.
00:16:28
Hit the comments, tear it apart. Tell me where you stand.
00:16:31
What would happen if if Donald Trump was no longer fit?
00:16:34
Is it? Is it simple enough to just JD
00:16:36
goes right in? How would we have felt?
00:16:38
How would anybody have felt if Joe Biden had been forced out,
00:16:42
deemed unable to, unfit to to lead?
00:16:45
I'm not so sure that he wasn't and a lot of people believe that
00:16:47
he wasn't with the Democrats have had a little bit more of a
00:16:51
leg up now if they had installed Kamala back then.
00:16:56
I'm not so sure of course, but it's something to think about.
00:16:59
Let me know where you stand. To those of you who are with me
00:17:03
on this, the like minded, the ones who feel that auto hate
00:17:06
fatigue every time you turn on the news or you Scroll down your
00:17:10
social media platforms. I need you join me here, like
00:17:15
and share, spread this. Let's build a team.
00:17:18
I'm loyal to my teams, especially my football teams and
00:17:21
my universities. Together we can push back on the
00:17:24
insanity. For those of you that don't
00:17:26
agree, stick around a little bit, check it out.
00:17:28
You might find out that thinking for yourself beats things you
00:17:32
hear by Rachel Maddow, Taylor Swift.
00:17:35
You don't need to listen to her, so give it a chance.
00:17:37
I try and stay try and listen to all of you.
00:17:41
So with that being said, stay sharp, stay bold, stay laughing,
00:17:47
please stay in the fray. Love you guys, just listen up.
