The breakfast club The animator Charlamagne that God has not retained his political opinions. Earlier in the month, her comments on Lara Trump’s Fox News program My point of view Regarding the assertion of his conviction that the traditional conservatives following the infamous Epstein files were preparing to take the Republican side aroused a response from his stepfather, President Donald Trump.
“He is an individual of qi low, has no idea of the words that come out of his mouth and do not know anything about me or what I have done,” wrote the potus on Truth Social. But the popular The breakfast club The leader has not only talked about the president. During an appearance of guest on CNN AC360He responded to Anderson Cooper’s investigation as to whether the candidate for the Democratic presidential of 2024, Kamala Harris, should also appear on the Joe Rogan experience The podcast, like Trump, calling for the failure of the media to question the fascist rhetoric of the presidential candidate of the time.
Almost a year later, Charlamagne, who co-host The brilliant idiots Podcast with the controversial actor Andrew Schultz – who interviewed Trump by chance on his Blatant Podcast in 2024 – Always find a very problematic media coverage. After sharing the scene with Family quarrel Host Steve Harvey for the session “New Hollywood: Powership & Media’s Future” in Invest Fest, the Financial Education and Entrepreneurship conference organized by the media platform and the first podcast Get Your Loisk The Hollywood Reporter on the insufficiency of the media during the current administration.
“The media are in a very strange place, because you have Fox News, you have CNN, you have MSNBC, it is supposed to be the traditional points of sale where people go to obtain a form of truth. But the reality is that they also play a game of dimensions and income. We all know Fox News. They seem to look into the public of Fox News, which is not a bad thing.
To fill the void, people, according to Charlamagne, turned to social networks and podcast platforms. Meidas Touch – The progressive media platform founded by the Ben, Brett and Jordy Meiselas brothers in 2020 which has 5.3 million YouTube subscribers and at least a million followers on Instagram, X and Bluesky – is one of those he most promotes.
“Their only program is to tell you the truth about what’s going on. They didn’t try to be in the midst of anything. They say to themselves: “We are shamelessly against what’s going on in the White House”. And you should be if it is authoritarian, if it’s fascist, right?
“I have never seen freedom of expression or press freedom being attacked in the way it is attacked now, not in my lifetime. But we must be extinguished from truth without exception, honest and shamelessly. And that is why, even in spaces like this, Invest Fest, [is important]. I do not think that people even understand how important it is for culture because they do not want spaces like this exist; They actively try to dismantle spaces like this, “he said, referring to the event that attracted more than 20,000 participants starring black speakers like him, Issa Rae and Earvin” Magic “Johnson.
His prognosis concerning the ability of the Democratic Party to become the Savior of this country is dark. “Oh, my God is an entire article. To be honest with you, guy, they need to explode everything because they have been part of the problem for a long time. It is not because you are the opposite of BAD does not mean clearly for people, and people have been sick.
The correction, he said, is simple: “They just need to be a party that focuses on the working class. That’s it.” How can I put more food on people’s table? How can I put more money in people’s pockets? “That’s it. [I’m] will probably revolve to you.
Charlamagne, who is one of the “44 most powerful players in ThR in Podcasting in 2025”, supports the actions of the Governor of California Gavin Newsom as a podcaster and Trump Troller. “”If 2024 was the electoral year of the podcast [with] Everyone goes to all these different podcasts, 2026, 2028, they will be politicians who have their own platforms. And I think Gavin Newsom did a very good job with that when he had his Politickin ‘with Gavin Newsom, Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson. Nikki Haley had his show on Sirius XM. Whenever you see one of those people who want to be in the 2028 race to have their own platforms is a good thing. So I gave him credit for that, and even what he does now is law 44 of The 48 laws of power. This is the mirror effect [where] You disarm and exasperate your opponent simply by imitating them. So he makes them crazy and exhibit Hypocrisy in this party by doing this. »»
The New York Times The successful author thinks, however, that nothing is not enough to win Newsom in the White House. “I think that at the national level, he will get smoke, because everyone is going to do, it’s just looking at California. See when you are governor, you really have a record. So, you may be fine, and you could receive attention in the titles now, but, at the end of the day, they want to watch and see what you have done in California for these eight years? The problem of homelessness has increased. have a lot to answer.
Charlamagne does not think that the Democratic presidential candidate 2024, the former vice-president Harris, arose again is viable either. Earlier this year, he launched the idea of the popular The Daily Show The host and he always holds on this subject. “Unless a game changer enters the party, and I said it already, like a Jon Stewart. And Jon Stewart doesn’t even need to be part of the Democratic Party. I think Jon Stewart is someone who could run and really shake things up.
“And not because it is a celebrity, but because sometimes, when you look at a person, no, you can say that what they do is even too small for them. With all the success he had Jon Stewart on television, organizing in the past 25 years, when I listen to him, when I think about New York, when he went and held on Capitol Hill and Bill spent these firefighters in New York City in New York [or] Listening just every Monday, you can watch it and say that it is so much bigger than that [and] should be an elected type. »»
If Stewart continues to avoid the public service, the Black privilege: the opportunity arises to those who create it The author promotes two popular politicians. “Unless someone like that is in the game, it will probably end up being governor. But it will be like a [Pennsylvania] Gov. [Josh] Shapiro or [Maryland] Gov. Wes Moore. These are the people I watch because watching their states, look at the things they have done in their states. That’s all you need to be careful.
