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.
