Introduction

In this episode of The Breakfast Club, the hosts delve into a contentious topic surrounding Andrew Isker, a Christian nationalist pastor from Tennessee. The discussion is sparked by Isker's alarming theory that airport security scanners possess the capability to alter individuals' sexual orientations, effectively making them homosexual. The debate is both heated and humorous, showcasing the hosts' ability to tackle serious issues with sharp wit and incisive commentary.

The Donkey of the Day: Andrew Isker

Charlamagne Tha God designates Andrew Isker as the “Donkey of the Day” (00:30), a title reserved for individuals the hosts find particularly misguided or antagonistic. Isker, co-host of the podcast “Heritage Americans” alongside C.J. Engel, is portrayed as a fervent advocate for a nostalgic American past—prior to women's workforce participation, civil rights advancements, and the expansion of LGBTQ+ rights.

Charlamagne Tha God introduces Isker with the following remarks:

"Donkey of the day for Thursday, April 10, goes to a Christian nationalist pastor from Tennessee named Andrew Isker. [...] They're from Tennessee, but they absolutely support Florida's don't say Gay bill." (00:31)

Isker's contention that airport scanners can "turn you gay" is a central point of contention, leading to a lively debate among the hosts.

In-Depth Discussion on Isker's Beliefs

DJ Envy echoes the absurdity of Isker's claims, mocking the idea that airport scanners have any influence over sexual orientation:

"Like, I had to be molested at the airport to go to Florida, right? [...] I didn't let C.J. do it. I wouldn't let him do it." (01:33)

Charlamagne Tha God further dissects the theory, emphasizing the scientific implausibility of such a claim:

"The airport scanner does not want your butt, okay? [...] a machine designed to detect metal and contraband does not have the side effect of altering one's sexual orientation." (02:02)

He employs humor and rhetorical questions to dismantle Isker's argument, stating:

"It's like saying if you step on a digital scale, it will change your zodiac sign." (02:14)

Hosts' Reactions and Commentary

Angela Yee and DJ Envy contribute to the conversation by highlighting the paranoia and misinformation that fuels such theories. They question the credibility of Isker’s claims and the broader implications of spreading unfounded fears.

DJ Envy sarcastically refers to TSA agents, redefining the acronym to mock the perceived overreach of security measures:

"TS stands for Thoroughly Sniffing Anus, all right?" (02:12)

Charlamagne Tha God reinforces the message by juxtaposing ridiculous comparisons and emphasizing personal responsibility over blaming external factors:

"You can't run from who you are, okay? [...] Stop hiding behind religion and blaming airport scanners because you like the blow on a man's love whistle." (02:12)

Transcript

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just wanted to know how you came up with the donkey of the date. Because you're mean. I am not.

[Angela Yee]

What did I do today?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street. That is why Charlemagne is here. If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have been, we never would say anything.

[DJ Envy]

We don't give a damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't throw it up. Hey, give it to him. Give it to him on the Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlamagne, he's a donkey.

[Michael the Bull]

Oh, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlamagne. You giving donkey today? To who now? Well, Busta Rhymes, donkey of the day for Thursday, April 10, goes to a Christian nationalist pastor from Tennessee named Andrew Isker. Okay? He co hosts the podcast with a guy named C.J. engel, and they call their podcast the number one Christian nationalist podcast in the world. They have created a community called Heritage Americans, and they have explicitly stated their longing for the American way of life before women join the workforce, before civil rights ruined everything, and before the LGBTQ community took all the letters from the Alphabet and made it look like a line on the eye chart. Oh, trust and believe. They're from Tennessee, but they absolutely support Florida's don't say Gay bill. In fact, they think you can just be turned gay. Now, last time I checked, there was only one way to turn gay, and that's to have sex with someone of the same sex. Well, Andrew Iskar begs to differ. He thinks that airport security scanners, you know, the ones that detect weapons and other potential threats, he thinks those things are a gay beam machine that could turn you into a homosexual. Let's go take a peek into their podcast. Let's listen.

[DJ Envy]

Where's the Constitution? When the Patriot act was. Act was passed, right? Give me a break. Like, I had to be molested at the airport to go to Florida, right? Just to get on an airplane. Because I'm not going to go through the. The gay beam machine. I didn't let C.J. do it. I wouldn't let him do it. Said, you're getting padded down too, buddy. I don't want them turning you gay. It appears having a guy touch you all over the place is on its face. Seems worse. But you don't really know what's going what. What those things are doing to you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now, I am not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest avenger, but I think I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the airport scanner is not going to make you gay.

[Angela Yee]

How many Times have you been through it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right, the airport scanner. No, the airport scanner does not want your butt, okay? Andrew thinks TSA is prison. He thinks TSA stands for take somebody's ass. Okay? Technology of Sodomy Advancement. Let me be the first to tell you, Andrew, if you go through the airport scanner and then all of a sudden you got another man's blue vein sausage on your brain, then trust me when I tell you that you was craving crotch rockets long before you got to the airport. Now I know there might be some Christian nationalists out there or other folks who believe this type of foolishness, but a machine designed to detect metal and contraband does not have the side effect of altering one's sexual orientation. I know that may sound crazy to you, but you will not develop a taste for tonsil ticklers just because you go through the scanner at the airport. Now, I be wondering, where do people come up with this stuff? Is it the Internet? Did he consult with anyone about this? Personally, I think you already smoke skin flutes and those closet door walls are closing in on you. And before you get exposed, you throwing this out there so you can have an excuse? Okay, you want to be able to blame your gayness on airport scanners? No, no, no. I think you a TSA agent right now, Pastor. And TS stands for Thoroughly Sniffing Anus, all right? There is no other reason for someone to spread such a theory. This is like saying if you step on a digital scale, it will change your zodiac sign. You step on it as an Aries weighing 180. Step off your weighing 180, but now you a Sagittarius. That's not how that works, okay? You probably think the radiation from microwaves turns people into pedophiles, don't you? Huh? We live in a world where people are trying to run from themselves. And you can't run from who you are, okay? You can't run from what you are. Stop hiding behind religion and blaming airport scanners because you like the blow on a man's love whistle, okay? The same Bible that you read out of says judge not that you not be judged. That's Matthew 7:1, okay? The reason you so afraid to be yourself is because you are scared that all the judgment you pass on to others will now be passed on to you. So stop with the baseless fear mongering and spreading misinformation. If you have a passion for pink pickles, who are we to judge? Please give Pastor Andrew Isker the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the doggy of the Day.

[DJ Envy]

You are the doggie of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He haul nothing. Nothing brings me more joy than watching Sid who's, you know, our digital person.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, that's funny.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She being here.

[Angela Yee]

She's so mad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I can always tell when we got bumped off TikTok, she just looks so defeated and puts the phone down and just stares at me. What was it? The pink pickles?

[Angela Yee]

No, no. Sometimes she turns it off because she knows we're gonna get banned.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Oh, well, what was it today?

[Angela Yee]

You turned it off today, or did they ban us?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was gay. It was too much gay, wasn't it?

[Angela Yee]

You said what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We'll be back on April 17th. April 17th. Was it to take somebody's ass? The TSA stand up and take somebody's ass? What was it? Yeah, it was all of it. All of it. Okay. Especially the way you say gay. You say it all hard so they. They just. You want to say soft. Yeah, like gay. But that's the. Yes. The cute kind. Yeah, that's what they. That's. That's the only thing they, like, take somebody's ass. Exactly. See, now that sounds a little crimy. Like, that's too crimson. It's too negative. All right.

[Angela Yee]

Salute to our Tick Tock family. We'll see you. When? April 17th. You said we'll be back April 17th.
