Charlamagne And Trump BATTLE IT OUT
TYT's Cenk Uygur argued for economic populism in a room full of detractors.
- 11 minutes
When you ask me.
You know what?
What do I think Trump has done?
President Trump has done
over the last six months?
I don't want to say that I think he did
a terrible job, but if he's doing a
terrible job, I got to call it like it is.
And if and if it was a Democrat
respectfully disagree with you.
- I understand you would.
- But you can have your viewpoint.
[00:00:17]
Over the weekend, Charlamagne slammed
President Donald Trump on a show hosted
by Trump's daughter in law, Lara Trump.
And as you can imagine,
the president was not too happy with
the commentary provided by Charlamagne.
So we'll get to Trump's response
and his bit of a meltdown in a bit.
[00:00:35]
But first, let's give you more
of what Charlamagne had to say.
He hit Trump pretty hard on not delivering
for the working class, especially
when it came to his budget bill.
Least of us are still
being impacted the worst.
Like when you look at something like,
you know, the big, beautiful bill,
[00:00:50]
that's something that, you know,
I'm going to benefit from
because of the tax bracket that I'm in.
But, you know, there's going to be
so many people that are hurt by that bill.
And, you know, anything that, you know,
takes away Medicaid from people and put
people in a worse financial situation
then, you know, they were previously in.
[00:01:06]
I'm not for and, you know, he ran on that
like he ran on, you know, the economy.
He ran on saying that, you know,
grocery prices were going to be down.
- And you know, he.
- That has happened.
Inflation is trending down.
And by the way, Medicaid,
we want to make sure that people
who are not actual recipients or shouldn't
be getting Medicaid are off Medicaid.
[00:01:23]
So it can actually benefit more people.
That's like one of the dumbest arguments.
And I have to keep talking about that
or responding to that stupid argument
on her take all the time.
Okay.
How did Congress reach the number
of cutting $1.1 trillion for Medicaid?
[00:01:39]
Where is the evidence that there's $1.1
trillion in Medicaid fraud to justify
a cut that deep to a program that rural
hospitals across the country rely on,
that the poorest Americans rely on for
health care, including, by the way, mostly
[00:01:57]
Children who are born into poor families.
But anyway, it's okay.
Everyone who needs government
assistance is committing fraud.
And the welfare whores in Israel
absolutely need
the tens of billions of dollars
we shell out to them for their genocide.
- Go ahead Jake.
- Yeah.
[00:02:12]
Well, for only for Israel,
but not for Americans.
Okay.
So we're asking in our poll on live chat.
Do you think it was a good idea for
Charlemagne to go on Lara Trump's show?
I mean, that's a Trump family member.
Yes or no?
Shows live at 6:00 eastern every day.
Oh, look at that. 86% say yes.
[00:02:31]
And guess what happened
when he went on her show.
He got all the way
under Donald Trump's skin.
And so we're going
to get into that in a second.
Okay.
But just so you know,
the bottom 30% have to pay more now.
They lost money in that budget bill.
The bottom 30%.
[00:02:48]
And that money was given almost
exclusively to the top 1%. People making
above $500,000 got a $1.1 trillion tax
cut, and that was paid for by taking away
insurance from 12 million Americans.
Our system and our government is sick.
It's diseased.
[00:03:05]
Yes.
Now, I want to skip ahead to video four
here, because Charlemagne also talked
about what he predicts will happen
to the Republican Party in the future.
Let's take a quick look at that.
I think there's a political coup
going on right now in the Republican Party
[00:03:23]
that people aren't paying attention to.
Oh, interesting.
I think that the I think that this, this,
this Epstein thing is going
to be a way for traditional conservatives
to take their party back.
I really do.
I think that I think that, I think
that they know this is the issue that has
[00:03:39]
gotten the base riled up the base,
the MAGA base isn't letting this issue go.
And for the first time, they know they
can, you know, probably take their party
back and not piss off the MAGA base.
I think, I think I think
they're going to do that.
[00:03:55]
All right.
So, look, I don't think that there's
a coup that's being carried out
by traditional conservative Republicans.
You know, the neocons,
they've always been there.
They never lost power.
And the America First agenda
was just a facade.
[00:04:12]
It was a complete and utter facade.
Donald Trump is carrying out
neoconservative policy as we speak.
So there was never a coup.
It was just that, unfortunately,
voters, I believe, were lied to.
As they always are.
So look, I think if you watch the show,
you know, I love Charlamagne and I love
[00:04:30]
that he got under Trump's skin here.
And I love that he mentioned at the end
when they said,
who could run for president Jon Stewart.
Right. So those are all great.
On this one is a rare
disagreement I have with him.
Traditional conservatives
aren't coming back.
They're traditional Republicans
that it's their look.
[00:04:48]
They win their elections just because they
put a Republican next to their name.
But the reality is,
None of the voters are on their side.
So I think that a person
like Tucker Carlson, if he doesn't run,
you've got any kind of politician running.
[00:05:03]
Maybe Josh Hawley, but not Tom cotton,
not Marco Rubio, not those neo cons.
Those guys are never coming back.
So they're only going to go further.
MAGA they're not.
There's no return. Right.
So so oh by the way I hope they do.
I hope they pick a dumbass
corporate neocon
[00:05:21]
because they'll be super easy to beat.
So as we mentioned earlier,
Trump was not happy with what Charlamagne
had to say about him.
And so he took to Truth Social to say the
very wonderful and talented Lara Trump,
who show is a big ratings success,
put racist sleazebag Charlamagne tha God.
[00:05:40]
Why is he allowed to use the word God
when describing himself?
Can anyone imagine the uproar there
would be if our Christian lawmakers
went to Israel and put a yarmulke on
and debased Debase themselves
by sucking up to a foreign country.
Sorry he didn't write that part.
That was my ad.
[00:05:56]
Anyway, he continues,
he's a low IQ individual, has no idea
what words are coming out of his mouth,
and knows nothing about me or what I
have done, like just ending five,
just ending five wars, including a 31 year
bloodbath between Republic of the Congo
[00:06:14]
and Rwanda, where 7 million people
have died and there was no end in sight.
He didn't know that.
Or India and Pakistan,
or wiping out Iran's nuclear capabilities,
or closing the horrendous open border,
or creating the greatest economy where
prices and inflation have come way down.
[00:06:33]
Goes on and on and on.
Anyway, Charlemagne is low IQ.
That's the heart of the argument here.
- And Trump is the best.
- And a sleazebag.
Okay, so let's break that down
a little bit.
So Donald Trump, found out that, guys,
that he took out a full page ad
to kill the Central Park Five
had not committed the crime that they
[00:06:51]
were charged with many years ago.
And they told him, oh, we've got DNA
evidence of the guy who actually did it.
So they let him out.
And Donald Trump said
they probably did something anyway.
Gee, I wonder why he said that.
I mean, I can give you
a thousand examples, right?
So we're talking about racism.
We're talking about racism.
The guy who said maybe we should
ban everyone from a muslim country.
[00:07:08]
We're talking about racism.
Okay, anyways, sleazebag means someone
who grabs people by the genitals
without asking someone who was convicted
of sexual assault in a civil trial.
Civil trial?
Okay, and do I have to keep going?
Financial fraud throughout his life.
ET cetera.
[00:07:24]
And but my favorite is low IQ. Hey,
if you're hiding your high school grades,
you don't get to talk about low IQ.
And he hides his grades from high school
and college and everywhere he went
because he's a moron and his.
But much more importantly, he's spoiled.
[00:07:40]
So he got daddy
to get him into these schools.
And if you saw his grades,
you'd know that he's a idiot
of the most extreme proportions.
I don't think he's anywhere near 100 IQ.
So Charlemagne, on the other hand, started
with nothing and built a media empire.
[00:07:56]
Please, please.
He'd be lucky to be a quarter
of Charlemagne's intelligence.
So Charlemagne also responded
to Trump on the Breakfast Club.
Let's take a look at that.
We can hire a new label statistics chief
to lie about the numbers.
It won't stop the reality
of people being unemployed.
[00:08:13]
Okay, you can tell falsehoods
about inflation being down
and won't stop the reality
of the price of consumer goods being high
because of tariffs you implemented.
So listen, President Trump,
don't worry about Leonard, okay?
Don't worry about Charlamagne tha.
[00:08:28]
God, I know something I said
hit a nerve and rattled you a little bit.
But I don't want you rattled.
I want you to endorse.
Okay?
I want you to keep the border secure.
I want you to have the economy booming.
I want booming, okay?
I want all these things to be true.
I am an American.
[00:08:44]
I don't care who's in the white House.
I want America to succeed.
Okay?
Believe it or not, I'm rooting for you.
But I need you focused.
And right now, you're not focused, okay?
We need you focused on two things.
The economy and Epstein.
Yeah. You know the thing.
The thing about Trump that made me
lose any hope that he might do something
[00:09:04]
positive in the direction of foreign
policy is like it was so easy for him
to abandon his own base when it comes
to foreign policy and carry out.
Exactly.
And Epstein. Right.
And so I really thought that one
of the characteristics that Trump has,
[00:09:21]
that he actually gets criticized
for a lot, which is his own ego,
would actually be handy in his second term
as it pertains to Israel and Gaza,
because what man wants to be humiliated
and dog walked by a foreign country?
[00:09:36]
I thought Trump had a little more pride
than that, but apparently not so.
Yeah.
Everything changed
after Netanyahu came to America.
The last time Trump went from stopping
Israel in three different occasions,
which we gave him credit for.
To all of a sudden being back
to put on a leash and walk around
[00:09:52]
in humiliating fashion today,
saying you won't get emergency relief
if a tornado wiped out your house unless
your state grovels to Israel and says
that no one is allowed to boycott them.
What is that? What is that?
Okay, he's deeply corrupt.
He totally works for Israel now.
[00:10:08]
Ghislaine Maxwell transferred
to a minimum security prison.
Unbelievable.
What an absolute outrage, right?
She's a child rapist.
And so, And why is she getting
that treatment?
I don't know.
I mean, is she going
to do fake testimony against Democrats
[00:10:23]
and leave Trump out of it?
That's a possibility.
The other possibility is her dad was,
the Israeli spy who stole America's
nuclear secrets and gave them to Israel.
That's that's facts.
That's verifiable fact.
And, Ehud Barak, prime minister of Israel,
visited Epstein 30 times.
[00:10:43]
But you're not allowed
to say these things.
They're verifiable facts. Okay.
But, hey, look at that.
Yet another favor for Israel.
Ghislaine Maxwell, now in a country club
in minimum security prisons,
they have tennis.
You know that it's absolute country club.
[00:10:58]
If you are a pedophile and you're thinking
about running for elected office at some
point in your career, do your civic duty
to the American people and don't run.
- That's all I'm asking for.
- Yeah.
And by the way, if you're the only
good news that comes out of this
is if you are sleeping with children,
Israel is probably recording it.
[00:11:15]
Okay. So don't.
Okay.
All right. Anyways, Charlamagne is right.
I'll go further.
Trump works for Israel
and he's their bitch.
And MAGA is also catching on to that.
And so.
Okay, keep going in that direction.
See how you like it.
[00:11:31]
Did MAGA vote for Israel's bitch first?
I don't think so.
But Trump, you're about to find out.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
