- 0:08Speaker 1: You need to tell them. I am tell them it's
- 0:14Speaker 1: time for Donkey of the Day.

- 0:19Speaker 3: want Charlamagne.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Damn Chlomae who he's a dusky other day too.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Then well, sexy red Donkey today for Monday, February twenty
- 0:28Speaker 2: six isn't going to a particular person or individual. I'm
- 0:31Speaker 2: casting a wide net, okay, It's just going to a
- 0:33Speaker 2: false narrative that is being spread by people and individuals
- 0:37Speaker 2: on social media. And I have to say in regards,
- 0:39Speaker 2: I have to say networks like MSNBC too, not the
- 0:42Speaker 2: whole of MSNBC, but I've seen a couple of articles
- 0:45Speaker 2: on MSNBC blogs that have also pushed this false narrative.
- 0:49Speaker 2: We were about to discuss and this weekend I was
- 0:51Speaker 2: home and I woke up Saturday morning to a few
- 0:53Speaker 2: people I highly respect and they sent me some commentary
- 0:56Speaker 2: from Stephanie Rule's MSNBC showed the Eleventh Hour. I'm been
- 1:00Speaker 2: on Stephanie' show. Before I know Stephanie all love and respect.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I enjoyed a program she had assist on there named
- 1:06Speaker 2: doctor Christina Greer, who is a political scientist at Fordham University,
- 1:09Speaker 2: and they were discussing Trump sneakers. Okay, the lower third
- 1:12Speaker 2: said Trump hawk sneakers and bid to attract young voters,
- 1:15Speaker 2: and doctor Christina Grill was speaking to that, and then
- 1:18Speaker 2: Stephanie Rule interjected and brought up myself in the good
- 1:20Speaker 2: Brother killer Mike's name. Why I don't know, and then
- 1:23Speaker 2: doctor Christina Grill went off, let's listen.
- 1:25Speaker 1: We've had water, we've had stakes, we've had ties, and.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Why don't I hear from the Charlemagne of God or
- 1:31Speaker 3: the killer Mike's out there saying.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Hold on because they need to read a book and
- 1:35Speaker 1: or talk to a political science. Right. These are people
- 1:38Speaker 1: who have massive platforms, they went massive influence. O. We're
- 1:43Speaker 1: not just young people black men in particular. They are
- 1:46Speaker 1: the ones who are parroting Russian propaganda, ones that you
- 1:48Speaker 1: can find easily on Facebook, sort of saying, well, neither
- 1:51Speaker 1: one does anything, so you know, I don't know. If
- 1:53Speaker 1: you want to stay home, that's up to you. They
- 1:56Speaker 1: refuse to lay out how far this train can go
- 1:59Speaker 1: off the track? Right, how far Donald Trump can take
- 2:03Speaker 1: us away from democratic ideals? This country is not perfect.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Every black person knows that, right, but incrementally we have
- 2:10Speaker 1: to actually work towards the ideals. We can't have people
- 2:12Speaker 1: consistently telling young people, well, if you sit this one out,
- 2:15Speaker 1: I don't think it'll make a difference, because you know,
- 2:17Speaker 1: Joe Biden hasn't done anything for your community. Absolutely not.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I mean we know that having debt relief for people
- 2:23Speaker 1: who've gone to college that actually closes the wealth gap, right,
- 2:26Speaker 1: so African Americans can actually start to buy a whole houses.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I mean, the list goes on and on. So when
- 2:31Speaker 1: you have people at Killer Mike and Charlote and the God,
- 2:33Speaker 1: I think they are actually real dangerous threats to democracy.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Wow, doctor Christina Grim myself and Killer Michael threat to democracy.
- 2:40Speaker 2: We parrot Russian propaganda, we tell black people not to vote.
- 2:43Speaker 2: We refuse to lay out how far this train can
- 2:46Speaker 2: go off the tracks, how far away Donald Trump can
- 2:48Speaker 2: take us from democratic ideas? I mean, man, with all
- 2:52Speaker 2: due respect, everything she said about Killer Mike and myself
- 2:55Speaker 2: is a complete lie, and her lie wasn't intentional. She
- 2:58Speaker 2: didn't go on the eleventh hour and say I'm going
- 2:59Speaker 2: to lie on Charlamagne and Killer Mike. Her liar is
- 3:02Speaker 2: based on false information. Her liear is based off false narrative,
- 3:06Speaker 2: false narratives that she might see on Facebook. See when
- 3:09Speaker 2: you see a false narrative on social media and you
- 3:12Speaker 2: don't do any independent research to see if what is
- 3:14Speaker 2: being said is true, and then you go on a
- 3:16Speaker 2: platform and repeat that false narrative, you are helping to
- 3:18Speaker 2: push that lie. I know it's not intentional. Doctor Christina
- 3:21Speaker 2: Greer is just a victim of false information, like so
- 3:23Speaker 2: many of us are. It gets brought to my attention
- 3:26Speaker 2: to lies. A lot of black political pungents speak on
- 3:29Speaker 2: social media and in their group chats about myself. I'm
- 3:32Speaker 2: fully aware of who says what Black people in the
- 3:34Speaker 2: political space on social media who love Master Biden and
- 3:37Speaker 2: the Democrats so much and they hate any critique of them,
- 3:40Speaker 2: so they have all these things to say about myself
- 3:42Speaker 2: and the Killer Mike. Listen, I don't have any problem
- 3:45Speaker 2: with you disagreeing with us, but don't lie on us.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Don't say we pushing Russian propaganda and telling folks not
- 3:52Speaker 2: to vote, and please don't say I'm not willing to
- 3:54Speaker 2: tell folks how far Trump can take us from democratic ideas.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I don't even have to talk. Let's just run the receipt,
- 4:00Speaker 2: because this is what I really want to get to.
- 4:02Speaker 1: This is me.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Earlier this year on Piers Morgan All the Way in
- 4:05Speaker 2: the UK, Piers asked me about Joe Biden's you ain't
- 4:09Speaker 2: black comments. If you don't know whether to vote for
- 4:11Speaker 2: me or Trump, you ain't black. And this was my
- 4:13Speaker 2: answer when he asked me about that. I think what
- 4:15Speaker 2: he was trying to say is simply, you know, if
- 4:18Speaker 2: you vote for Donald Trump as a black person, you
- 4:21Speaker 2: may be voting against your own interests. Do you think
- 4:24Speaker 2: that is true? Do you think you're voting against your
- 4:26Speaker 2: own instress as a black American if you vote with Trump? Yes,
- 4:29Speaker 2: I do, because you know, I feel like, you know,
- 4:32Speaker 2: Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. And you know
- 4:35Speaker 2: when you talk about a country that could be leaning
- 4:39Speaker 2: toward fascism, because you have people in a party that
- 4:42Speaker 2: are leaning toward fascism, you know, as a black person
- 4:45Speaker 2: or any minority, I don't think you know, you would
- 4:47Speaker 2: want to live under a fascist regime. And you know
- 4:50Speaker 2: that's not something that's gonna fare too well for you.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Let's go to when I was on Who's Talking to
- 4:54Speaker 2: Chris Wallace on CNN. He asked me a simple question,
- 4:57Speaker 2: what do I think of Donald Trump? Listen, what do
- 4:59Speaker 2: you think of Donald Trump? I think Donald Trump is
- 5:03Speaker 2: a fascist who does not care about democracy in any way,
- 5:06Speaker 2: shape or form. So you think it would be dangerous
- 5:09Speaker 2: for the country if he were to get back on
- 5:11Speaker 2: the white I think I think that is I think
- 5:12Speaker 2: that's an understatement, you know, And I think that's also
- 5:15Speaker 2: the pickle that we as American people are in, right.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I think that it's three options in twenty twenty four.
- 5:22Speaker 2: You have Donald Trump, who's the criminal. You have Joe Biden,
- 5:26Speaker 2: who represents the Cowarch, the Democratic Party of Cowarch they
- 5:29Speaker 2: don't fight enough, and you got the couch. And I think,
- 5:32Speaker 2: you know, the couch is votapathy. And I think a
- 5:34Speaker 2: lot of people are going to choose to stay home
- 5:37Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, and that shit scare us. The
- 5:41Speaker 2: one time that people should absolutely positively be terrified and
- 5:44Speaker 2: be afraid of what could happen to democracy is next year. Oh,
- 5:49Speaker 2: the magabots are getting information in my comments right now now. Listen,
- 5:52Speaker 2: Am I clear yet? Because I'm consistent, I'm gonna play
- 5:54Speaker 2: one more. This is me when I was on This
- 5:56Speaker 2: Week on ABC with Jonathan Carl and Jonathan he Too
- 6:00Speaker 2: asked me about Donald Trump. Listen, this is the first
- 6:03Speaker 2: time in my life when people say things like, you know,
- 6:06Speaker 2: this person is a democracy. It's absolutely true, and it's
- 6:12Speaker 2: mind boggling to me that, you know, nobody is taking
- 6:15Speaker 2: it as serious as I feel like they should. Like
- 6:18Speaker 2: we watched an attempted cool of this country happen on
- 6:21Speaker 2: January sixth, and everybody's acting like it was just a
- 6:24Speaker 2: bunch of people, you know, while and at spring break,
- 6:27Speaker 2: you know, down in Florida, like we literally watched, you know,
- 6:30Speaker 2: people try to overthrow the government because they didn't like
- 6:33Speaker 2: the results of an election led by a former you
- 6:38Speaker 2: know president. If that doesn't cause a sense of urgency
- 6:41Speaker 2: and people, I don't know what will. Is that the
- 6:43Speaker 2: Russian propaganda doctor Christina Grire speaking about dose that sounds
- 6:46Speaker 2: like someone telling people not to vote. Listen. I'm not
- 6:48Speaker 2: even mad at doctor Christina grib because I understand how
- 6:50Speaker 2: this happens, and this is what I want to say
- 6:52Speaker 2: this morning Fox News that the phenomenal job of pushing
- 6:55Speaker 2: the narrative they want out there. For example, if I'm
- 6:57Speaker 2: in an interview and I say President Biden is an
- 6:59Speaker 2: uninspiring can it with no man character energy? If I
- 7:01Speaker 2: get on this head and I ask a question, is
- 7:04Speaker 2: the Biden Harris administration a ticket that can win a
- 7:06Speaker 2: November Because based off the low approval ratings, the low
- 7:09Speaker 2: poll numbers, the fact Trump has now eve won criminal charges,
- 7:11Speaker 2: the fact Trump is will want to be dictated, a
- 7:13Speaker 2: poll show he still might win a general election. If
- 7:15Speaker 2: I ask, are they a ticket that can still win?
- 7:18Speaker 2: Or if I say, you know which I have, I
- 7:19Speaker 2: think Biden should step aside for the good of the
- 7:22Speaker 2: party because he himself said it's fifty other people in
- 7:24Speaker 2: the Democratic Party who could beat Trump. When I say
- 7:27Speaker 2: those things in the conversation, Fox will take those clips
- 7:30Speaker 2: and turn them into stories. They constantly push the narrative
- 7:33Speaker 2: they want out there to the American people because using
- 7:35Speaker 2: those clips reinforces the narrative they are pushing that black
- 7:38Speaker 2: people are off Biden. If you ask me, I personally
- 7:41Speaker 2: believe what my guy Tim Ryan believes, and that there
- 7:44Speaker 2: is an exhausted majority of people in America. It's not
- 7:47Speaker 2: about race, gender, sexuality, and sexuality, none of that. Okay,
- 7:51Speaker 2: it's just a bunch of us who are tired of
- 7:54Speaker 2: it all. But I don't want to get sidetrack. Fox
- 7:55Speaker 2: News does a phenomenal job of taking from these interviews
- 7:58Speaker 2: what they want to push their narratives. Why doesn't the
- 8:00Speaker 2: left do the same. There's not one interviewer I don't
- 8:03Speaker 2: want America about the dangers of a second Trump presidency.
- 8:06Speaker 2: But instead of amplifying those things, y'all follow the leader
- 8:09Speaker 2: Fox News that is your daddy, because they are the
- 8:11Speaker 2: cable news leaders. Okay, y'all make y'all commentary about the
- 8:14Speaker 2: headlines they create. In regards to what I said, Saluthormedia
- 8:18Speaker 2: dot com, Kobe Hall, that's my guy. Kobe wrote a
- 8:20Speaker 2: fantastic article once about me discussing how Fox News only
- 8:24Speaker 2: highlights my criticism of Biden, but never about Trump. And
- 8:27Speaker 2: by the way, my Biden commentary is not rooted in
- 8:30Speaker 2: whether or not he's done things for black people or not.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Have I expressed those things before, yes, But in this season,
- 8:35Speaker 2: I'm asking a simple question, is Biden Harris still a
- 8:38Speaker 2: winnable ticket? I'm not saying nothing. David Axelrod hasn't said,
- 8:41Speaker 2: I'm not saying nothing. Ezra Kline hasn't said. But y'all,
- 8:44Speaker 2: black political scientists and pundits, y'all don't call them threats
- 8:47Speaker 2: to democracy? Why because they're white men. You know That's why? Okay,
- 8:52Speaker 2: I truly believe y'all not mad about what I'm saying.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Y'all just mad as me saying it. I'm in the
- 8:56Speaker 2: hip hop radio personality with no college degree, no political experience.
- 9:00Speaker 2: What does he know? The rapper Killer Mike is just
- 9:02Speaker 2: a rapper, Okay. The rapper Killer Mike and the hip
- 9:04Speaker 2: hop radio personality shouldn't be the one saying these things.
- 9:07Speaker 2: And you know what, I feel so bad for Mike
- 9:09Speaker 2: because Mike not even saying nothing. Okay, this time last year,
- 9:13Speaker 2: I was in the studio with Killer Mike and our
- 9:15Speaker 2: beautiful black wives and our good brother, Little Duval, and
- 9:18Speaker 2: we was listening to the album that would go on
- 9:20Speaker 2: to win Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Michael okay, and Killer Mike said back then he was
- 9:25Speaker 2: focusing on local politics in Atlanta and in Georgia, and
- 9:29Speaker 2: he was focusing on his music. You don't want to
- 9:31Speaker 2: talk politics, but the left gets so caught up in
- 9:35Speaker 2: the conservative narrative that they took from Mike's two times
- 9:39Speaker 2: he's spoken about politics over the last thirty days. Mike
- 9:42Speaker 2: said on Bill Maher, ma he didn't want to endorse anyone, okay,
- 9:46Speaker 2: so they bought it back up on the View. Can
- 9:47Speaker 2: I played just a little bit of what Mike said
- 9:49Speaker 2: on Bill Maher before we get out of here, played
- 9:50Speaker 2: play with youself. I still like the policy that the
- 9:53Speaker 2: old man had that I was supporting.
- 9:54Speaker 1: I would encourage people to find who's supporting that policy
- 9:57Speaker 1: and see what.
- 10:00Speaker 2: No, I play what he said on the View. That's
- 10:02Speaker 2: all they got, you know, I have to view clipping there.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Uh no, oh my god. Well, anyway, Mike says, I
- 10:08Speaker 2: supported Bernie Sanders. You should support the candidate most in
- 10:11Speaker 2: line with progressive policies, the person who's more prone to
- 10:14Speaker 2: work with progressives. He said on the View, I supported
- 10:17Speaker 2: Keisha Lance Bottoms who works for the Biden administration, and
- 10:20Speaker 2: I supported all these other Democrats in Georgia, and he
- 10:22Speaker 2: named him. And he says you should follow and support
- 10:24Speaker 2: the candidate they are supporting. If I'm Bill Maher, if
- 10:27Speaker 2: I'm Sonny on the view, I'm looking at the camera
- 10:29Speaker 2: and saying, oh, that would be Joe Biden. This is
- 10:32Speaker 2: why Fox News wins because conservatives are just better at messaging.
- 10:35Speaker 2: They put the narratives they want out there, and then
- 10:38Speaker 2: the left debates and fights about Fox News narratives instead
- 10:42Speaker 2: of simply creating their own. So it makes me wonder
- 10:46Speaker 2: who y'all working for, because y'all hear us saying these
- 10:49Speaker 2: things about Trump. You hear where we pushing people, But
- 10:52Speaker 2: y'all don't amplify that. Y'all amplify our criticism of Biden.
- 10:55Speaker 2: So who's really pushing propaganda? Please give all these folks
- 10:59Speaker 2: pushing these false narratives about killing Mike and myself the
- 11:02Speaker 2: biggest hull. All right, listen, black people, I promise you
- 11:09Speaker 2: that you can criticize Democrats and still, you know, vote
- 11:13Speaker 2: for them if you choose. You can criticize any elected
- 11:15Speaker 2: official Democrats are Republican and still support them and vote
- 11:18Speaker 2: for them if you choose. Okay, and don't let nobody
- 11:21Speaker 2: tell you other watch all right, Well, thank you for that,
- 11:24Speaker 2: donkey today minutes I needed to get that up. I'm
- 11:29Speaker 2: not I needed to lay it all out. So if
- 11:31Speaker 2: there was ever any confusion from anybody, they can just
- 11:34Speaker 2: go listen to that. That's okay, that's all all right,
- 11:37Speaker 2: stop lying.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Well.
- 11:38Speaker 3: This weekend on Lifetime they had the documentary for Wendy Williams.

- 11:57Speaker 2: you all that too. I've never seen that life, at
- 12:00Speaker 2: least of the lifelong friend. I ain't never heard of
- 12:02Speaker 2: the other person they had on this California Regina. I
