Hosts' Analysis and Commentary

Charlamagne Tha God’s Critique

Charlamagne delivers a passionate monologue critiquing Lawson's actions and the tendency to attribute such behavior to divine influence. He asserts:
"God is not the author of confusion, which means God is not the source of chaos." [03:18]
He challenges the notion that supernatural forces are responsible, instead pointing to potential drug use as the catalyst for Lawson's erratic behavior.

Discussion on Drug Influence

Charlamagne connects Lawson’s actions to possible substance abuse:
"Maybe a perk 40, okay? Maybe cocaine or some of that fentanyl." [05:00]
He argues that drugs might have impaired her judgment and contributed to the high-speed collisions, highlighting the dangers of substance abuse.

Personal Anecdotes and Broader Implications

Sharing his own experiences, Charlamagne relates to the topic by recounting a severe car accident:
"I got into a wreck one time back in the day...the only reason he isn't dead is because he was so drunk that the impact of the crash didn't kill him." [05:45]
He uses this story to underscore the real-life consequences of impaired driving and the importance of accountability.

Spiritual References and Responsibility

Charlamagne intertwines spiritual references with personal responsibility:
"What you lack is clarity. God's nature is one of peace and order." [03:18]
He encourages listeners to seek true understanding and avoid projecting blame onto higher powers for personal misjudgments.

Damn the Hee Haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

[Trista Lawson]

I'm not trying to be donkey today no more.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things called Donkey of the Day. And it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne.

[DJ Envy]

You got the Donkey of the Day today.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. Donkey of the day for Thursday, July 10th goes to a woman named Trista Lawson of St. Louis, Missouri. Today's donkey is just another reminder that no matter how hard we try, we just simply can't avoid crazy. Okay, I don't know about y', all, but the reason I go to therapy, the reason I meditate, the reason you will catch me walking around barefoot in my yard hugging a tree is so I don't go crazy. But the only person's crazy on this planet I can control is mine. Okay? You're crazy is your responsibility. And that is what's scary about the world we live in. Because crazy is all around us and it's absolutely nothing we can do about it. There's absolutely nothing we can do about other people's crazy, okay? Other people's crazy can be activated at any time. People got their own issues and pain and hurt that they project onto others. People on drugs and they can't wait to disrupt the peace you have created for yourself. And that's exactly what Trista Lawson did. She disrupted other people's peace. Would you like to know how? Let's go to Senate Daily Times for the report, please.

[Trista Lawson]

A 36 year old woman is facing multiple charges after she admitted Tuesday to driving more than 100 miles per hour near Belfont and striking multiple vehicles after hearing the voice of God. Trista Lawson of St. Louis is facing 10 charges, all misdemeanors and summary offenses that range from reckless driving to drug related offenses to accidents involving damage. She was unable to post $25,000 bail Tuesday afternoon and was taken into custody at the Center County Correctional Facility.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Run that back for me one time. I just want to hear the first part again. Run that back for me one time, please.

[Trista Lawson]

A 36 year old woman is facing multiple charges after she admitted Tuesday to driving more than 100 miles per hour near Belfont and striking multiple vehicles after hearing the voice of God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Stop right. Stop right there. Stop right there. Stop right there. God put this on my heart to say this morning. I don't know who needs to hear this, but stop blaming God for your foolishness, okay? God is not telling you to do anything stupid. That's not how that works, all right? First Corinthians 14:33 says, God is not the author of confusion, which means God is not the source of chaos. God is not the source of disorder. God is not the reason. You lack clarity, okay? God's nature is one of peace and order. True understanding comes from God, okay? You made a poor choice and decided to hit the gas, do 100 miles per hour in a Mazda Sedan and crash in the back of a pickup truck. By the way, I hope you had insurance because I want the person who you hit in the back to get paid, okay? I got rear ended a few weeks ago when I was at a complete stop and that person was doing about 45, 50, okay? This happened on June 6 and my neck hurt that night and didn't hurt again until July 5th, okay? So I know whoever you hit, Trista, doing 100 miles per hour from the back is an absolute agony today, okay? You caused that, Trista, because of your poor choices. Talking about it was the voice of God. You was listening to God. Let me remind you. Heathens or something. Satan has a kingdom too, okay? You always Want to give God the credit for things he has nothing to do with talking about. You heard the voice of God. That was Lucifer, okay? The devil, Damien, the Prince of Darkness, Satan himself. And you didn't have enough God in you to tell Satan get behind thee. See, the reason y' all be scared to tell Satan to get behind thee is because you don't know what he's gonna do when he's back there. Take that. Take that. Take that. Now, I'm telling you, Tristan, okay? I'm telling you right now, Trista, you said it was God. I said it was Satan, but it was probably a perk 40, okay? Maybe cocaine or some of that fentanyl. Was you using some of that fenty beauty to powder your nose? Either way, it's all the devil, okay? When I saw this story and I read it, first thing I thought to myself was, stop playing. Stop blaming God for your poor choices. And I kept reading to find out where was the drug use. And lo and behold, that's exactly what I found, okay? Trista was jailed on charges of accidents involving occupied vehicles, our buildings, as well as drug related charges. I repeat, drugs related charges. Okay? I knew there had to be drugs involved because if you rear end somebody at 100 miles per hour and live to talk about it, I know you would probably give God all that glory. But sometimes it's them perks that saved your life. Because opioids reduce the transmission of pain messages to the brain. So when you effed up out of your mind, you don't feel no pain. Okay? I got into a wreck one time back in the day, wrapped myself around a damn Tree doing about 70 miles per hour in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. And the doctor said, and I quote, the only reason he isn't dead is because he was so drunk that the impact of the crash didn't kill him. And I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, so I flew out the back of the van. That's what I think happened with Trista. And that's why we are here gathered today so I can simply tell you, stop saying God told you to do things, okay? Got people out here convinced you high on God when you know you just high on drugs. Please give Trista Lawson sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the doy of the day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you wonder why Jesus ain't come back yet.

[DJ Envy]

Three things, okay? It's a perk 30. I've never even known or heard of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A perk 40, so I know that's higher. It's higher than the 30?

[DJ Envy]

No, it's 30 and then I believe it's a perk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

40.

[DJ Envy]

I used to be on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? What you said you used to be on. What did you say?

[DJ Envy]

Second thing, who told you the devil was gay? 2. I mean, 3. How. How did you fly out the back of the van?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had no seat belt on.

[DJ Envy]

You. No, how you fly out the back?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I had no seat belt on.

[DJ Envy]

You were driving. If you were ejected from the car.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You would have flew through the windshield. No, I flew out the back.

[DJ Envy]

You was backing up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I was driving. I was driving and I went up the hill. I was going to. Going down Gilead Road. I'm almost going to South Carolina. And I was drunk and I went up a hill and I went up in the air and I hit and it wrapped around and I flew out the back.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you flew back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Charlamagne, does everything crash anything? Right? Because I'm like, he even crashed gay.

[Angela Yee]

How did you do that?

[DJ Envy]

You crash into something, you go out the front. Because I was ejected from a car too, but I went out the windshield, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You go back.

[Angela Yee]

Everything is back.

[DJ Envy]

Everything is back.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, going out the back wouldn't make you gay. Going in the backwood.

[DJ Envy]

But that's how you got. How did you. How you come out anyway? You got to go in to come out. So you already went in the back to come out the back, but I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Went in the front. So technically. Oh, see, that's a good point though, cuz technically, if I go in the front, that's your mouth. But if I come out, that's your ass.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you went through his whole body. They digested him. Swallowed him, swallowed him up.

[Angela Yee]

She said, how do you crash, G.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have you ever been swallowed up? All right.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Angela Yee]
