Charlamagne Tha God
What did I'm all in on the Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump or time travelers thing.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, well explain this one to me.
Charlamagne Tha God
I've heard a bunch of theories, bro. I'm here. I'm going to tell you the good one that I heard, man. Hold on, let me look it up because I wrote this one. That's a few about the time travel.
Andrew Schultz
So Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump are both time travelers, bro. That's the idea, bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hold on, I want to read you this if I can find it, bro. Somebody DM me this and I was like man, I am all in on this.
Andrew Schultz
That's all it takes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, first of all, first of all, first of all, you got a $20 bill on you. Say again, who got a $20 bill on him?
Andrew Schultz
I got you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Pull it out.
Andrew Schultz
Got you. Not trying to flex, not trying to flex.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who got a $20 bill?
Andrew Schultz
Not trying to flex.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, whoever got a $20 bill, pull it out, bro.
Andrew Schultz
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, 20 right now.
Andrew Schultz
$20 bill.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look at the front of the 20 bill. Who's on the front of the 20 bill?
Andrew Schultz
Andrew Jackson.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look a little closer.
Andrew Schultz
Jeffrey Epstein.
Charlamagne Tha God
Epstein on a 20 bill. Holy. Look, look, man. Pay a fucking tink.
Andrew Schultz
Holy shit.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you're asking yourself, why does this man know everybody? How is he connected to everybody? All of the most powerful people in the world. How could this happen? Just some finance guy. Boom, there you have it.
Andrew Schultz
That's Jeffrey Epstein on a $20 bill.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, Donald Trump. I heard. I know y' all know about this.
Andrew Schultz
Epstein don't want nothing to do with anything. 20.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
Andrew Schultz
I'm just saying maybe it was a punishment for him.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got another theory about that, but I'm gonna keep that one to myself. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Andrew Schultz
Don't come through with crazy conspiracy theories and not share.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have you heard about the book Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You heard about that one?
Andrew Schultz
Wait, hold on. Which one is this? Is this the.
Charlamagne Tha God
The children's family fantasy novel about a wealthy boy named Barron Trump who travels to a hidden world beneath the earth's surface, encountering strange creatures, written by and a character named Don.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but written by Don Barr or William Barr?
Charlamagne Tha God
No, this is by Ingersoll Lockwood. Came out in 1893.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah,
Charlamagne Tha God
it came out in 1893.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Come on, man.
Andrew Schultz
What you trying to say?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm trying to say that they're time travelers, bro. So you're wondering why two individuals can be connected.
Andrew Schultz
Hold on. So this whole time we thought that Barron Trump was making money on Polymarket because his dad was telling him what he was gonna do, but in reality, he's a time traveler. He knew the whole time.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, no, no, no, no. Don is the time traveler. Don and Jeffrey are the time traveler. Did you hear the other story about how it was, like, somebody in Donald Trump's family that was connected to. Who was the genius name? You know what I'm talking about? Tesla.
Andrew Schultz
Nikola Tesla.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nikola Tesla was connected to somebody in Nikola Tesla's family and had time traveling capabilities and came to tell Don everything that was gonna happen or some shit like that. Look all of this stuff up, guys. I'm not here to explain all of this shit in detail. I'm just shooting at the hip, letting you know the stories that are out there.
Andrew Schultz
Speaking of shooting, there is a reason why he knew to turn to that whiteboard in that moment. If you are traveling through time, you might be privy to certain events that are going to happen. I got to turn to my whiteboard now.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is the good one. You want the good one.
Andrew Schultz
I like that we're catching up to the white people conspiracies because, yo, I. I love.
Charlamagne Tha God
There's a hole, bro. There's a hole missing. There's a hole missing. Yo, we leaving the Q. And I left a boy, bro.
Andrew Schultz
Listen, this is the second step to just becoming white. The first one is gay jokes, and the second one is deep conspiracy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yes, it is out of your mind.
Andrew Schultz
Yes, it is.
Charlamagne Tha God
Black Israelites. Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
They're talking about pretending to be Jews
Charlamagne Tha God
trying to be white people convicted, invented conspiracy theories. Are you serious, bro? You know why? Because we really had conspiracies happening to us.
Andrew Schultz
They were conspiracies. They were real. That's why this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, nobody believed them. All of this stuff was. But you guys knew all of this stuff, conspiracy theories, till they weren't.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but you guys knew they were really happening.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. And now all the conspiracy theorists are like, see, we told the reason why
Andrew Schultz
white people didn't believe you is because we believe in conspiracy.
Charlamagne Tha God
The reason why people didn't believe it because they were behind them.
Andrew Schultz
Potato, potato, potato, potatoes.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is a good one. This is.
Andrew Schultz
Hit me, hit me, hit me. I needed my thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is one of them ones. When the comments. The comments was like, I needed advantage. Damn, he got me. He says he didn't even ask me what I think about time traveling.
Andrew Schultz
He knew. He just knew.
Charlamagne Tha God
He came in hot. He said, do you think with them time traveling that if they saw the future in day one, they would be scrambling every day like this? If they know our history more than us and know what is coming, that they would be desperate, taking rights, engaging ice DEI wars, another round of COVID poisoning food supplies, spraying the skies, removing history books, digging up giants, et cetera. You think they would be doing all that if they knew they were victorious? Their time is up, plain and simple. They cannot escape it. It is written, God will not be number two to any man. God.
Andrew Schultz
Okay, first of all, fire.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good one.
Andrew Schultz
That's one of those perfect example. It's like you are on fire until you say digging up giants. Like, I am 100% on board with every. Whatever you're saying. Digging up giants brings it into a Realm that I don't like to play in. I don't know if I believe in the digging up giants.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everything's on the table, bro. Stop it. Everything's on the table. After what we've seen the last couple
Andrew Schultz
of years, leaving dinosaurs.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, everything's on the table. I've seen a big lizard before.
Andrew Schultz
No, but.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, we haven't seen yo die.
Chris
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
Actually, honestly. Honestly, dinosaurs a bit overrated, bro. When we talk about, like, shit that used to exist, bro, there's shit now that's a lot more fire than dinosaurs.
Andrew Schultz
For example, whales.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why the fuck don't y' all appreciate whales?
Andrew Schultz
I think you.
Charlamagne Tha God
This shit is ton weigh tons and float elegantly. They like the Charles Barkley of the sea. They're the Zion Williamson of the ocean. I know.
Andrew Schultz
I just. I think you're just a little more impressed by swimming. I think for us, you gotta see it. It's just like, all right, they're in the ocean, they're swimming.
Chris
You ain't never just whales and ice skaters.
Andrew Schultz
What the hell is, you know, sitting
Charlamagne Tha God
in Mexico, like, sitting in Cabo?
Andrew Schultz
You just talk your shit.
Charlamagne Tha God
One of them whales just jump up in the air, just go back in the water like it's nothing. Meanwhile, there's boats and shit around them, but they not even trying to use their sides. They're being respectful of the ocean. They're not bumping into people like, fuck y'. All.
Andrew Schultz
Can we just stop dinosaurs, bro? Yeah, but, like, I don't. I just don't like you talking about Mexican women like that. It's just, for me, there are plenty of slim, beautiful, amazing bodied Mexican women.
Charlamagne Tha God
I love Mexican women. Yo, Mexican women are beautiful. The.
Andrew Schultz
The most.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, man.
Andrew Schultz
Outside of our wives.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. No. Well, no, but, no, I think Mexican women are very beautiful. But if I had. I mean, if I'm ranking it outside of our wives.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah, this is. The Muslim women I think are more beautiful. I'm just being honest. Mexican women are beautiful, but no, outside.
Andrew Schultz
That's class.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm talking about.
Andrew Schultz
Why? Who's your number one? What do you mean? Oh, yeah. Oh, got it. You have to go black. Got it, got it, got it.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, it would be black for me. Like. Yeah. I mean, come on. Obviously, Poppy, you know? You know what I mean? But.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, but you like Caribbean Latinas. You're not into Mexican Latinas.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, Mexican women are pretty, but I don't. But if I'm ranking, I'm ranking.
Andrew Schultz
Who's your. Who's your number? Outside of black women? It's obviously black women.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, easy call. Go Nigerian.
Andrew Schultz
He just said outside of black women. It's. What's interesting is that what's.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm talking black American women. Oh, okay.
Andrew Schultz
When you say black women, that's like black American. Oh, okay. You don't consider black people that aren't in America black?
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, I consider us all black, but I just thought we was just being, you know, specific.
Andrew Schultz
No.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, okay. Oh, well, half the black women. Puerto Ricans.
Andrew Schultz
Let's fucking go.
Charlamagne Tha God
I never really thought about it past that, bro. Really?
Andrew Schultz
And what about Asian? What about Brazilian? What about India?
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know what Julian looks like. I don't be honest.
Andrew Schultz
Russian.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know. I do know some Russian women. I don't know what they look. I don't know what all of them look like, though. But I do know some Russian women.
Andrew Schultz
Right, right.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I've met a couple of Russian women in my life. No, that's a Russian woman. Yes.
Andrew Schultz
Back to you.
Charlamagne Tha God
But salute to all the Mexicans. We appreciate your sponsorship.
Andrew Schultz
We're feeling it today. Taylor's in a mood. Taylor's in a mood or something. What's going on? Oh, you missed that. Tell me what's happened. Is this your first period back?
Charlamagne Tha God
What's wrong?
Andrew Schultz
Is that crazy to ask? Is that crazy to ask?
Chris
I'm so.
Andrew Schultz
Why is that crazy?
Charlamagne Tha God
What did he say?
Andrew Schultz
Is this your first period back from having a kid?
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah, nah, nah.
Andrew Schultz
That's a normal. That's a normal thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
She been back. She. The baby is nine months, bro.
Andrew Schultz
If you're breastfeeding, you don't get your period. But if you're breastfeeding, you don't get your period, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Man, Taylor, Ben gave up that breastfeeding.
Andrew Schultz
Damn, you did, though. Yo, yo, yo, you allowed to throw shit in him if you want. You're allowed to pick shit up and twist. Toss it.
Charlamagne Tha God
How long did you breastfeed? You didn't breastfeed long, Taylor, did you?
Andrew Schultz
Right? Why. Why even phrase it?
Charlamagne Tha God
She told me.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but let her say it.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not sensitive to me who's breastfeeding. That's natural. I'm not one of those women that was like, why I'm so, like, I don't care.
Andrew Schultz
What about, yo, the things you get upset about. Can I ask it last week, and that was crazy. Can you give me my son?
Charlamagne Tha God
We're having civilized conversation about what?
Andrew Schultz
About the women. What about the women that don't breastfeed because they trying to hold the titty size. That's a thing. Amen. I don't know. It just seemed like that'll work out. I give that to people. Women that don't want to breastfeed and women that do breastfeed.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, I don't.
Andrew Schultz
For me, I just.
Charlamagne Tha God
I wanted to try it. Cool.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. You see how you already feel better? You're not going to be in a bad mood today. That's not going to happen. We're going to charm your ass up. That's what's going to happen. You're a mom now. You don't get to be in bad moods.
Charlamagne Tha God
Shut up.
Andrew Schultz
I'm just telling you, your mom. I know. Don't think your mom stops when you leave the house. You gotta be mom over here, too. Oh, I know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Her son called me earlier today.
Andrew Schultz
What'd he say?
Charlamagne Tha God
Her son called me this morning and
Andrew Schultz
was like, yo, what are you talking about?
Chris
Stop.
Charlamagne Tha God
Her son called me this morning. Cause he knew it was Wednesday. And he was like, don't have her out all day today. She need to be fucking home. She was like, I know y' all do the pod on Wednesday.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, don't be stretching that shit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Word up. She was like, yo, I'm home by myself.
Andrew Schultz
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I mean? So don't have her out. All motherfuckers home by himself is crazy. What you mean, like, who's watching it?
Andrew Schultz
He don't need anybody to watch him. That's a grown ass man. You gonna let another person watch a grown ass man?
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all don't like kids to earn, Learn responsibilities, facts. Okay?
Andrew Schultz
Watch yourself. Feed yourself.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nine months. How does.
Andrew Schultz
How's he gonna feed?
Charlamagne Tha God
He's seven months.
Andrew Schultz
How's he gonna feed?
Charlamagne Tha God
No, Tommy from Rugrats was killing shit. And Tommy was one years old, all right?
Andrew Schultz
He wasn't always one.
Charlamagne Tha God
So your baby's nine months.
Andrew Schultz
He was always one at the start of the show. No, but he didn't spawn at one. I'm saying he run this.
Charlamagne Tha God
You ain't even letting them get the opportunity.
Andrew Schultz
Opportunity?
Charlamagne Tha God
You should be in the apprenticeship phase right now to be the boss you want to be. You want a boss baby or not, Taylor?
Andrew Schultz
That's a fact.
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't want a little Dame Dash. That's your problem. You want a boss baby.
Andrew Schultz
Speaking of, you need a boss baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
You need a boss baby.
Andrew Schultz
Yo, what's going on with Dame, man? What's happening?
Charlamagne Tha God
What did he do? What did he do?
Andrew Schultz
What did Dave do now?
Charlamagne Tha God
What did he do? What did he do?
Andrew Schultz
Yo,
Charlamagne Tha God
what did he do, man? You flirting with Me again.
Chris
Hold on.
Charlamagne Tha God
What did he do?
Andrew Schultz
Wait, let me get the story.
Charlamagne Tha God
That is a funny ass font that says Charlemagne's gay. Press play tell. This is a good. This is a good theory. I like that. Allegedly Charlemagne's gay and he's a. He's a gay man pursuing what he. You're funny. He acts too gay. I mean, I wouldn't call him gay to his face. He wasn't bothered. And the thing is, I think what they're doing is making people that are gay look heterosexual. So I had another heterosexual person might
Andrew Schultz
think that that's a heterosexual point of
Charlamagne Tha God
view and do what he's doing. So my problem is if he's pretending
Chris
he's something he's not and he has
Charlamagne Tha God
other influence by what he's doing, it's not fair. You should be honest. You know, it's like a trick. So, like, for example. And again, you know, it's hard to talk about people that I know, but, like, pause. You know, Puff Rubber niggas not on his chest. Okay, stop. You know what I'm saying? You can like that. That me and Puff don't need to be in the same guys. Like, as soon as you start talking, like, come on, like, stop now.
Andrew Schultz
What's funny about this is, like, it seems like Dame doesn't know that being gay is okay. Like, he keeps calling it to you as if it's a bad thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think so. It's wild to me, but I think he's flirting, bro.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, you think it's like a repressed homosexuality?
Charlamagne Tha God
See, here's the thing, man. I feel this is another great. I don't even think it's a conspiracy theory. You could write this one down. I think that when a man wants to know if another man is gay or is implying another man is gay,
Andrew Schultz
he calls him gay.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's wishful thinking.
Andrew Schultz
Keep going.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think it's wishful thinking.
Chris
Keep going.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because he wants me to be gay. Oh, yeah. It's like when you see a fine girl, right, and you like, man, wonder if she got a boyfriend. Yo, I wonder if she got a man. She got a man. Yo, you think she got a man? You think she got a man? I think you keep bringing it up. You keep bringing it up, bringing it up because you wishful thinking and you're hoping. You're. You're hoping somebody verifies, yo, he is gay. So then you can try me. I really think.
Andrew Schultz
What do you do to me every week on this podcast?
Charlamagne Tha God
State the obvious. Yeah, he's stating the obvious now.
Andrew Schultz
This is the difference.
Chris
I don't know, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Stating the I don't know, man.
Andrew Schultz
I think all three of y' all need to work this out.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know. I think he's trying me.
Andrew Schultz
He needs to go to a pulpit or something like that, figure his sexuality's out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Salute to Dame, man. I told Dame I'll pay for his therapy, man. I really would pay. I will pay for Dame Dash's therapy.
Andrew Schultz
Really? Yes. That's a nice gesture. It seems like you're trolling him a little. It seems like you're trolling him.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would, though. I would, though.
Andrew Schultz
But you are. You're being serious about his mental health.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would absolutely pay for his therapy. 100.
Andrew Schultz
I think that's. That's a kind gesture.
Charlamagne Tha God
100%. But I am flattered. I am flattered that he keeps flirting with me, bro. He's. He got my dick on his brain. Stony.
Andrew Schultz
I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Think about it. He got my dick on his brain. He wants to know what his dick be. He got a theory of where his dick goes. When you got a theory about another man's dick. When you got a theory about where another man's dick goes. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. What else we got? What else we got? Taylor Gang, gang, gang. What do we got?
Andrew Schultz
You're saying that he spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about what?
Charlamagne Tha God
I need people to think about this. When you're thinking you got another man's dick on your brain. You can't even pause that. And you got theories about where it goes.
Andrew Schultz
The weight of that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You mean you smoke a blunt, you like the weight of that? I think he's gay. So that means you're thinking about my dick and another man's butt. You gotta constantly pause your thoughts.
Andrew Schultz
So you got gay thoughts.
Charlamagne Tha God
Gay. You got gay on the brain.
Andrew Schultz
Bare minimum. Gay is on the brain.
Charlamagne Tha God
Come on, man. Bare minimum. My dick is on your brain. You gotta think about that. Why is my cock on your brain?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy. Crazy.
Andrew Schultz
You know, the crazy thing is that you've made us all imagine that while you say it.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm just. I have a problem. Is it my dick being on people's brains? Let me tell you something about this.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Protect it. Because, like, Professor X, I'll get in here. It'll be. He'll be, like, wondering, why is he always in here? Okay. Why is he always in here? Why can I not stop thinking about him? Oh, the reason Magneto wears a helmet. Guys, okay? That's why Doomsday needs to hear and come out because y' all forgot your X Men lore. Okay? My dick is right here.
Andrew Schultz
This is so stupid.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look, my dick is right here. Okay?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right. What else we got?
Andrew Schultz
What else do we got?
Charlamagne Tha God
We got Taylor. Gay Taylor.
Andrew Schultz
Speaking of gay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Speaking of gay. More gay.
Andrew Schultz
We got some more gay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo, give me my. Oh, that's my. Give me my guy. My guy, the goat of all goats.
Andrew Schultz
Yo, shout out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Shy, do you have that voicemail he sent you then? He sent you, man. I was looking for them the other day, though. I let you hear that.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo, I've been seeing this from Shy.
Andrew Schultz
I know. You told us.
Charlamagne Tha God
Shy used to send me shit like this all the time. I told y' all the story. I'm walking out the radio station, a guy runs by guy comes running back to me full speed. Yeah, it's Shy. And he's talking to me, and he's showing me mad love. And we exchanged numbers. And I. Ben knew he was a black Israelite way before the world did. He used to send me the crazy. I. He was the conspiracy theory king. Yeah. Oh, my God. I wish I had some of them, man. Deep Internet. Deep Internet. Let's hear it. But I'll be honest with you.
Andrew Schultz
Big gay people are scary to me.
Charlamagne Tha God
What do you mean?
Andrew Schultz
When I'm, like, standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared. I'm sorry. If that's homophobic, then I. Then I'm. That.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Does that happen a lot?
Charlamagne Tha God
No, it just happened one time recently.
Andrew Schultz
Well, that's why I'm. Got arrested. Okay. Yeah. So you were sort of being groped and surrounded. I'm not gonna say that because my lawyer said. Oh, dude. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. We can.
Charlamagne Tha God
I. Here. I. I
Andrew Schultz
am wrong for touching anyone ever. And that's the end of my statement on this whole. Sounds good. Cool.
Charlamagne Tha God
Moving back to, like, what kind of
Andrew Schultz
things would set off that Napoleon complex?
Charlamagne Tha God
Being challenged.
Andrew Schultz
My masculinity being challenged. Me touch my girls, touch my kid, or.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I'm good with gay. Be gay over there, though. Don't be gay in my lap. So you feel like.
Andrew Schultz
When.
Charlamagne Tha God
When things that you feel that you
Andrew Schultz
possess in a way are challenged, like your girl, your kid. If someone gets in the way of what they want to do. Yeah, if somebody. Yeah, there's. There's personal space type stuff, you know, which. Get. It gets weird at Mar. It's Mardi. Gras, that's why, bro. I was drunk and it's Mardi Gras, so all of thing. Everything I'm saying is nonsense. It's Mardi Gras, you know, but it sounds like this complex is maybe something that you noticed for a long time.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, maybe, bro. I mean, my. My dad. My dad was by his cousin, so
Andrew Schultz
he was in my ear all the time. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe I am.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who the knows, bro?
Andrew Schultz
I'm open to whatever somebody wants to say. It didn't feel like that when it. Look, and this is the worst thing to say, and I'm not gonna say it. I never had no problem with gay people.
Charlamagne Tha God
Never. I remember paying for people's, like, transition
Andrew Schultz
surgery when I was around the Internet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Heavy.
Andrew Schultz
I've never been adversarial towards it.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I mean?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. You don't seem like a homophobic guy,
Charlamagne Tha God
but I don't know. I'm open to whatever. Somebody's got more information on the subject and, you know, let me know.
Andrew Schultz
I know I'm in deep off into the Bible.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know what the Bible says about homosexuality. What does it say? No, no.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, it wasn't that written a really
Charlamagne Tha God
long time ago, bro, you can do whatever you want with the text. It's not my business.
Andrew Schultz
I mean, I'm a traditional Catholic. That's okay. What's the difference between a traditional Catholic and, let's say, a more progressive Christian? I really.
Charlamagne Tha God
I really. The Bible tell y' all something, man, it's been a long time since I've seen an interviewer. I wanted to be the interviewer.
Andrew Schultz
Yo, that.
Charlamagne Tha God
That don't even feel real, bro. It's like he was in a deep comedic character, and that is hilarious. His poor dad.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, he just. I didn't even consider that.
Charlamagne Tha God
His poor dad. What if his dad never got raped? Or what if his dad didn't want the world to know that? Can you imagine the family group chat after that? Yeah, like, you told him about John, you know, how does he know?
Andrew Schultz
I guess his dad.
Charlamagne Tha God
He said his dad told. You know what? He didn't say. I guess his dad had to tell him, right?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
My dad used to get raped by his cousin. I have questions. Who the hell is your cousin? You know what I'm saying? I want to know who the hell your cousin is. How were Thanksgivings? How were family reunions? Did y' all fuck him up? Did somebody kill him? Like, what the fuck happened? Yeah, and how old was your dad when this was happening?
Andrew Schultz
We might need a Shia LaBeouf Breakfast Club interview, bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
Man, Shy is hilarious. And I would love to get Shy in a room with ej.
Andrew Schultz
Why?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because he said he's scared of Big. Why are you gonna try to.
Andrew Schultz
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Tyra Banks, right.
Andrew Schultz
Trying to do this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Imagine if EJ walks in, Magic Johnson's son. Can you imagine?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, I thought EJ worked at the radio show. No, Johnson.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Can you imagine if Magic inflict fear on him like that? I want to see, because that's a different level. That was the type of homophobia that I always used to define in my mind when I was younger. Right. Cause they always say, you know, homophobia is when is the fear of something.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
So it's like, you know, arachnophobia. You're afraid of spiders. He was specific. He said, I'm scared when it's a big gay dude surrounding him, though. But that's wild. I wouldn't even be thinking of the gay if three big gay dudes surrounded me, because I wouldn't be thinking about gay. I'm like, yo, why these dudes surrounding me?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, you'd be like, why these dudes? Dicks ain't in me yet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, see, that's different difference. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you could. If three guys surround you with dicks out, then you know it's on.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I mean, but if there's three dudes around you in the street, I'm like, yo, what's the. What the. Y' all about to jump me or something?
Andrew Schultz
You know, what's interesting is that, like, we have way more tolerance for when women are afraid of men. Like, like, if a woman is walking down the street and there's, like, a guy near and she wants to cross the street or whatever, we're like, hey, it's totally fine that you have a fear in this situation, because we hear these horrific stories. Every woman has a friend or even happened to them, and we don't immediately put a phobia on them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
But with Shia, he might feel that same way that he could get violated. And why would he not feel that way if his dad got violated? That's a very reasonable way to have the fear.
Charlamagne Tha God
So it's like generational trauma.
Andrew Schultz
It's trauma.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's passed down. It could be a thing for real. Like, if your dad got, you know, raped by a guy, you might be thinking, that can happen to you on a day.
Andrew Schultz
Why would you think it wouldn't? If your dad's saying to you he's in your ear, saying, hey, this could happen. This is what people do.
Charlamagne Tha God
So shy would choose the bear, basically.
Andrew Schultz
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't know the trending conversation. Shy would choose the bear. You never heard the conversation, Maybe, like, would you be in the woods? Woman was in the woods, they would choose. And if it was a man or a bear, who would you choose?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, they choose the bear.
Charlamagne Tha God
They choose the bear.
Andrew Schultz
Why?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's this theory about, you know, what the bear is going to do to you. So you can put any woman in your life, like, in the scenario, because
Andrew Schultz
you can even ask a man, like, if it was your daughter who is in the woods, would you want her alone in the woods with a bear or with a man?
Chris
Yeah. And what do women say? Always.
Charlamagne Tha God
They will pick the bear.
Andrew Schultz
Always. My algorithm might know me, but I have not seen one of the tiktoks where someone picks the man. A bear is a fat gay guy, right? Isn't that like a. That's a term for like, a burly gay guy, right? I mean, it is. It's like a fat, hairy gay guy is a bear. Obviously, women would choose the gay guy over the man, but I think.
Charlamagne Tha God
Talk about real bad.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, over the straight guys.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Charlamagne Tha God
The fact that he says, smokey, man,
Andrew Schultz
he's not a real bear.
Charlamagne Tha God
Imagine. Saucy Santana taps Shy on the shoulder.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
Big saucy, like, hi, shy.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, no.
Andrew Schultz
The fact that you think it's funny
Charlamagne Tha God
is messed up the thing. What is funny? Because you just said. You just made the point that he might have trauma.
Andrew Schultz
I think he got trauma. That's reasonable trauma.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, listen, man. It's a man sympathy, bro. I'm sorry.
Andrew Schultz
We might need to. We should.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm not saying we shouldn't.
Andrew Schultz
Your dad was molested. He's telling you about it every day. You're not going to be afraid of that shit.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm just saying I'm not mature enough to have this conversation, Chris. I'm not involved in.
Andrew Schultz
How many times did your relatives tell you about the Holocaust?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's different. Don't do that. That's different.
Andrew Schultz
That's different, man. No, that's different.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, why do we do that?
Andrew Schultz
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's different. Wait, come on.
Andrew Schultz
Yes, it's different, but it's still trauma being passed down.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but you went to the extreme, bro. What? You went to the 10. I'm going to a 10.
Andrew Schultz
I don't know how many inches the guy was, man. I don't even want to get into that. You got dick on my brain again, dude. Get this dick off my brain. I'm tired of having dick on my brain here. I'm just trying to have a historical conversation with Chris, who might trauma passed down to him from a horrific situation.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I do believe in generational trauma, though. I've done enough studies on generational trauma to know that it can be passed down genetically. So maybe there is something to that. That is actually a brilliant point.
Andrew Schultz
It's passed down orally, and I don't mean that as a joke literally. It's passed down through stories.
Charlamagne Tha God
If I was a father and something so horrendous like that happened to me, I would constantly tell my child. It's one of those things that you would tell your child to look out for in the world. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schultz
My Scottish family, they tell stories for generations about what the English did to them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, they was walking around in them fucking kilts, looking. All they was asking, legs out. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schultz
They was asking, are you trying to say them Roddy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Roddy Pipers?
Andrew Schultz
You trying to say just cause we're dressed like this?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, that's what we all wearing. What were those guys in Scotland wearing, Andrew?
Andrew Schultz
Okay, how are we supposed to fuck the sheep if we can't chase them?
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
Andrew Schultz
You can't. With your jeans around your ankles, you can't chase them. Good.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's a. That's fucking smart. That's genius.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, we're smart people. We invented the television of golf.
Charlamagne Tha God
You can just flip it up. Invented the television.
Andrew Schultz
Of course. How we're smart.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't believe that. Look up.
Andrew Schultz
Who invented the television.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look that up. The Scottish people invent the television. I don't believe that.
Andrew Schultz
And the cell phone.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jeffrey Epstein invented the television, bro. Jeffrey Epstein went back in time and fucking gave Steve Jobs the patent, bro. Okay, like that. Nah, fuck all that.
Andrew Schultz
Look it up. Look it up.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who invented the tv, bro?
Andrew Schultz
Bang, bang.
Charlamagne Tha God
Farnsworth Bentley is credited with inventory.
Andrew Schultz
Scottish. Scottish inventor.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, how do you do that?
Andrew Schultz
Who invented a cell phone? I'm just saying.
Charlamagne Tha God
Is it y' all tell us.
Andrew Schultz
It was not cell phone telephone. Say again.
Charlamagne Tha God
Scholars don't get caught.
Andrew Schultz
No telephone. Was Alexander Graham Bell, also scholar. It's. Oh, oops.
Charlamagne Tha God
Alexander Grand. Okay, well, black people invented the caller id.
Andrew Schultz
And how did it come to existence? What was the inspiration for the invention? I don't know. That's what bdot let us know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, shout out B dot O. For real. I missed that episode. Salute to B dot Go subscribe to the I didn't know. Maybe you didn't need the podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network.

Andrew Schultz
We got a good. We got.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got enough shy. I got enough shy, bro. I got enough shy. What else we got, man? You want to go write the bill?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
You want to go to Bill?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, yeah. Bill Joy, Bill.
Charlamagne Tha God
Him and Joe Biden remind me of the same.
Chris
They're the same people.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, they're both old. I mean, cut it out. And Bill's much younger than Joe Biden, to be honest. This was so crazy. Bill Clinton in the deposition, looking at the Epstein file photos, they're showing him, that's how happy he is in the hot tub with girls and him getting massages with girls. The attorney had to snatch the paper out of his.
Andrew Schultz
He grabbed it, grabbed it back, started smiling, reminiscing, bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because he started getting that feeling again. He was like, man, maybe I'm getting an erection.
Andrew Schultz
I was that, dude.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was that, bro. He was looking at that shit like he was looking at highlights and him dropping.
Andrew Schultz
No, for real. Yeah, like it was a Penthouse. It was a King magazine. Look at him grab it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wild boy. I was. Put it on the finger, bro. He was a wild boy, man. Slick Billy is what they call him. What did you think of the deposition?
Andrew Schultz
I just saw clips. I thought it was kind of wild, bro. Like just him going like, yeah, they told me to go in a pool, so I got in a pool and that's all I did. I just went swimming in the pool. It's like you were the president, bro. No one tells you to get nothing. I thought you decide what the fuck you do.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought when Nancy hit him with the line of questioning about young women, that shit was hilarious.
Andrew Schultz
What did Nancy say?
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's listen to this. Let's listen to the. This is Bill Clinton getting asked about the viral hot tub photo during the Jeffrey Epstein deposition. Let's listen. And every knew the photo was taken.
Andrew Schultz
Okay. And for those who can't see it, it's a photo of you in a hot tub. There's a person next to you here. Do you remember where it was taken? Where was it taken?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm almost sure that this taken.
Andrew Schultz
I think there's an adjacent photograph which you probably have, that if people saw
Charlamagne Tha God
it, they would feel that someone was trying to con them showing this picture. But it's. Anyway, this picture was taken in Brunei.
Andrew Schultz
Just for the record, there's another picture that also shows this as part of the larger pool area.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you all have that?
Andrew Schultz
So that he can refresh his recollection
Charlamagne Tha God
with respect to that. We should have it. It's.
Andrew Schultz
It's quite enlightening. If you watch this. Yes, it's noted. Give me a different feel. Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Andrew Schultz
We do have. We don't have one with us right now. Okay, thanks. I just wanted to make sure he knew that. Were there other people in that pool or hot tub with you as well? I don't think there's anybody in the hot tub.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't even.
Andrew Schultz
I didn't forgotten that there was anybody in the hot tub. But it was big, but it was about. Well, there's.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's asking in the pool area.
Andrew Schultz
There's a girl over here. There's someone.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I don't know who that is.
Andrew Schultz
But he's also asking in the pool area with other individuals.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know who that is.
Andrew Schultz
Okay, so you don't know?
Charlamagne Tha God
No. And then. Then there were other people in the pool.
Andrew Schultz
Okay, so do you remember who were they under 18.
Charlamagne Tha God
Were they part of your traveling party?
Andrew Schultz
He's asking you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, they were.
Andrew Schultz
I think. I think everybody there was part of our party. It was late at night.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I also believe that there was
Andrew Schultz
a secret service agent up there to the other end of the pool. And was this in public?
Charlamagne Tha God
Here's the thing. Pull up when they ask about underage women. Bill clearly never could lie. Right? Because even back in the day when he didn't have sexual relations with that woman, he just wasn't a good liar. But this really like, he just really either doesn't give a fuck cause he's so old, or he's just not a good liar. Because you can't say you don't know who the woman is. But then when they ask you if the woman was under 18, you say, no, definitely not. You don't even know who she is.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
So how the fuck do you know if she's 18.
Andrew Schultz
And also, he remembers too many details. And then he said they were party from the night.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, then he said they were part of his party. Y' all was having a party? All right. God damn it. Yeah, I was having a party.
Andrew Schultz
But, like, when you remember vivid details from a random day decades ago.
Chris
Impossible. You're lying.
Andrew Schultz
Like, you ever see people, like, they get, you know, indicted for some shit, and they ask them what happened on the night of it? And when people go, honestly, I don't even remember. They're usually innocent because why would you remember what happened a random day when you didn't kill nobody?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, yes, and especially as somebody as old as him. But you know what's so crazy? Like, yo, they used to fly to exotic places we never heard of to have a good time. I never heard of Bunan. Y' all heard of Bunan or whatever?
Andrew Schultz
Brunei.
Charlamagne Tha God
Brunei. Y' all heard of that before? Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Brunei. That's the dude that Michael Jackson used to stay with, I thought.
Charlamagne Tha God
Really?
Andrew Schultz
And he used to be spending all that money. Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
They said. They said it's a really rich country.
Andrew Schultz
I think it was a place where, like, people in the Middle east could go party. This is, like, before Dubai and some other places got a little bit more liberalized. So I think I. I believe, if I'm not mistaken. So Brunai was this, like, tiny little kingdom, and it was a little bit more loose so you could go have some fun.
Charlamagne Tha God
Pull up with Nancy. This is when Nancy put him in the figure four leg lock. This was. This was crazy.
Andrew Schultz
Witnesses who testified in the Epstein cases that Epstein said, you, quote, like them young. Why would Epstein say that about you?
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you asking his opinion? You're asking him to think about why Mr. Epstein would say something. Why would Epstein say that about. She's asking you to try to be in Mr. Epstein.
Andrew Schultz
Epstein's mind and guess at what Mr. Epstein would have thought about. Flynn likes them young. Referring to girls. First of all, that's not true.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's not true?
Andrew Schultz
That I have any interest in underage. I didn't say underage. I said. I said young.
Charlamagne Tha God
Got him.
Andrew Schultz
But it's still not her. Is an intern young? Yes. Finish him.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was. He was rehearsing the underage thing. He was expecting that, but he.
Andrew Schultz
She just.
Charlamagne Tha God
She didn't say underage. She said young. She wrote. But don't set him up. Jab, jab, jab, boom. Uppercut. That's what that was, man. Yeah, that's what that was. The intern young Monica Lewinsky was, what, 22 when Bill was, like, 49?
Andrew Schultz
It's a tough question because you know the allegations are about underage, but you're asking a man if he likes younger women, and the honest answer he should say is like, yeah, I like them around 25. That's nice. That's who you see in all the movies and the pornos, and those are really high. But he can't say that. So he just goes, I don't like him young. It's like, okay, sure, you like banging Hillary. Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just don't understand why Bill even leave that. Why is Bill not at the fuck it phase? You're old, bro. Everybody is. I'm not gonna say everybody, but majority of people are aware of all your heinous acts, bro. Like.
Andrew Schultz
Like, you want him to get the R. Kelly answer. Yeah. What do you mean by teenage?
Charlamagne Tha God
He did basically, just now.
Andrew Schultz
Now, R. Kelly gave you the honest answer. He said, what do you mean by teenage?
Chris
Do you like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like teenage girls? When you say teenage, how are we talking girls who are teenagers, Right?
Andrew Schultz
Like, he was, like, 18, 19. Like, he gave you. He was too stupid a lot. Whereas Bill is. Probably feels the same way, but he's like, he's sitting there bricked up under
Charlamagne Tha God
the table, looking at paper, looking. Looking at all war footage. You know what I'm saying?
Andrew Schultz
They raised his cortisol, and then they asked him the question. God, he got no blood in his brain. My man had four heart attacks already. There's no way he could think and have heart attack.
Charlamagne Tha God
Politics. You didn't notice pull up when they asked him if Trump should have to testify. The way he punted on this question was so, so ridiculous, bro. Like, so, so ridiculous. Like this right here proves, in the words of George Carlin, there's one big club and we ain't in it, bro.
Andrew Schultz
Yep.
Charlamagne Tha God
This is two people wearing the same jersey, all right, and they looking out for each other.
Andrew Schultz
That's all of them.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's it.
Andrew Schultz
That's what I think this whole thing exposed is. It's all of them. They're all aware of it. They're all in cahoots. They all know what's going on. They know the game, and they all get away with it. And the rest of us are, you know, well, I'll deal with the repercussions.
Charlamagne Tha God
I agree with you, but I never had a heart attack, though.
Andrew Schultz
He had heart surgery, but never had a heart attack.
Charlamagne Tha God
Heart surgery.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, but he had multiple heart surgeries. Yeah, like. Yeah, like bypass. Why?
Charlamagne Tha God
They just don't don't you do that.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, you do that to avoid a heart attack. Sorry about that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why? They just don't give former presidents to Tony Starks, bro.
Andrew Schultz
I don't think they want him around Low key.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, they got.
Andrew Schultz
I don't think they're trying to keep
Charlamagne Tha God
him around this vault with you, man. You know too much low key.
Andrew Schultz
Like if America had its way after you were president, you would just die. That's because you know all this shit. And we're like, yo, we can't have you knowing all this shit walking around at a deposition.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
Andrew Schultz
Now, I'm not saying that should happen, but if the powers that be were happy the second you out of office,
Charlamagne Tha God
somebody's writing that down. Somebody in the Trump administration right now. You know what? Write that down.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, let's put it down. His name is Marco Rubio or J.D. vance.
Charlamagne Tha God
Press play. Taylor Game was wondering if you also agree that, that President Trump should answer
Andrew Schultz
questions of this committee. That's for you to decide.
Charlamagne Tha God
But he did know him well and I once had a brief discussion with him about it. Thank you. Thanks for the answer. With that, I'm going to go to
Andrew Schultz
Mr. Walkinshaw and we'll go down a series of questions.
Charlamagne Tha God
I hate this, but. Because I don't believe I should inject anything. But I do not want to leave
Andrew Schultz
the impression,
Charlamagne Tha God
since there was no follow up question, he never, the president never, this is 20 something years ago, never
Andrew Schultz
said anything to me to make me
Charlamagne Tha God
think he was involved in anything improper with regard to
Andrew Schultz
Epstein either.
Charlamagne Tha God
He just didn't. That's the truth.
Andrew Schultz
You know, as I said earlier, good boy, Bill. That's what Trump's saying right now. Good boy.
Charlamagne Tha God
The only conversation I had with President
Andrew Schultz
Trump about this was in the early 2000s, and I have no information that he did anything wrong. I just want it all out there. I want everybody to get it all out out there and let everybody see where we are.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. Now pull up. When they asked Hillary, you say, good boy. You say, good boy. He's saying what? Good boy?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, like he's doing what he's supposed to do. Because you also saw Trump saying that shit where he was like, I have no problem with Bill Clinton. I think he's a nice guy. And then Bill Clinton goes on the stand and he's like, I don't think Trump had anything to do with it. He's totally clean. So clearly there's some side of sort of conversation between them. I mean, they had a relationship of animosity up until this moment where they're like, oh, no, they're totally good. Yeah. That is kind of. It's kind of crazy. Timing is crazy. Yeah. You saw when. When they asked Trump about Clinton, he's like, he's always been nice to me.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's always been nice to me. Like, he actually said, I don't think that he should even be bought in subjective deposition. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Donald Trump should be deposed by this committee. You know, I was a lawyer, and
Charlamagne Tha God
as a lawyer, you would look for
Andrew Schultz
pattern and practice if you were deposing a witness in a case that you were trying, if you were in court, what did you know about this person? What you knew could influence how you question that person, how you tried the case. Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. Nine members of a jury found him liable in the sexual assault of E. Jean Carroll. That is behavior that fits a pattern, if one were looking for a pattern. He has also been convicted on 34 felony counts for attempting to hide his relationship with a escort and then to commit business fraud to prevent it from becoming public in the 2016 campaign, which was ultimately election interference. So if I were running the committee or I were involved in this investigation, I would be looking for people who maybe had some prior conduct that might be relevant to either money or crimes. And, yes, I think that it would be in keeping with the scope of the investigation of this committee to set up a deposition with President Trump. I know he's been deposed many, many, many times. He's taken the Fifth Amendment many, many hundreds of times. So I not saying you're going to get a lot of information, but given what's in the files and given past and prior conduct, he would be on my witness list.
Charlamagne Tha God
Simple. That's how you answer the fucking question. If you don't have no dirt, if you got your own dirt that you trying to keep under the rug and you say, hey, it's up to y', all, probably fine. You know what I'm saying?
Andrew Schultz
That guy probably did nothing.
Charlamagne Tha God
As far as he told me, I never seen him do anything. That's how you answer the question. Especially if you came in hot, right? Bill sat down, came in hot, y' all bought my wife in here for no goddamn reason.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, Bill said that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. That's how he started it off. He was like, first off, fuck the bitch in the clique. You claim you bought my wife in here for no motherfucking reason. She had no business here. She don't even know the motherfucker you know what I mean? That's how you answered the question. But what Hillary did, that wasn't no, that's no party shit. That's just common sense. I used to be an attorney. If y' all are looking for more information, why wouldn't you have somebody in here who's in the file so much
Andrew Schultz
we believe that Hillary didn't know who Jeffrey Epstein was.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Andrew Schultz
She doesn't know the guy husband is flying on,
Charlamagne Tha God
bro, I don't know like that. That's. I, I mean, that's not far from.
Andrew Schultz
Y' all got wives.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but we ain't. We never been the President of the United States of America.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but this is a personal private jet. This isn't your flying Delta. You're going on some guy's plane. You don't ask your husband. Hey, you're flying around the world to random destinations and you're raising money for our foundation. I believe it is. They're both foundation. You're not going to ask who the guy? The idea that she wasn't aware of this guy that literally every other successful, powerful person on the planet is aware
Charlamagne Tha God
of, well, I don't think is a
Andrew Schultz
little hard for me to believe.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think she said she didn't know him. She just said she never.
Andrew Schultz
But you said Bill said that he doesn't even know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, Bill said she doesn't know him.
Andrew Schultz
And I'm like, why are we playing this game where every other famous person. Not famous, every other successful, powerful person on the planet knows of except Hillary?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm not saying she didn't.
Andrew Schultz
Elaine Maxwell is at their kid's wedding as a plus one or whatever. But yeah, she has no clue who Jeffrey Epstein is.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, she was a plus one.
Andrew Schultz
That's what she said. She's like, oh, she was just there as a plus one.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who knows plus ones.
Andrew Schultz
I know plus ones. At my wedding. I was aware that they have no plus ones.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, plus ones.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, I didn't know nobody at your wedding. I don't fucking know. But that's a perfect example.
Andrew Schultz
You knew most people at my wedding.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I didn't. If somebody came and sat down to me and said, who all is at Andrew's wedding? You know this person here at Andrew wedding, I'd be like, oh, for real. Well, nice to meet you.
Andrew Schultz
I bet you can name 10 people at my wedding right now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Joe Rogan, Whitney Cummings, Taylor, Alex Craig. Who?
Andrew Schultz
Weezy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Weezy was there. Weezy was at the wedding?
Andrew Schultz
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
I swear to God. I do not remember Wheezy at the. I don't remember. I didn't see Wheezy. That Wheezy.
Andrew Schultz
Dove.
Charlamagne Tha God
Mark. Dove. Mark.
Andrew Schultz
Shifty
Charlamagne Tha God
didn't even know Shifty was there, bro. I'm being honest with you. I don't remember seeing Miles at the wedding. Weezy was at the wedding?
Andrew Schultz
Yes, Carla.
Charlamagne Tha God
Carla was there. I do not remember seeing no Weezy at the wedding. Yo.
Andrew Schultz
Yes. Are you serious?
Charlamagne Tha God
I am.
Andrew Schultz
She was sitting at the same table. She was at our house.
Charlamagne Tha God
Literally.
Andrew Schultz
Like, what is up with you?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy. See, I would have went to jail. Y' all would have said I was lying at the deposition. Listen, I do not remember Weezy being there at all.
Andrew Schultz
This is a perfect example.
Charlamagne Tha God
And that's my. You know, I love Weezy. That's my niece. I love her. I do not remember her being there.
Andrew Schultz
When you don't do something illegal that day, you don't remember what happened. When you do something illegal that day, you remember way too many details about what happened. Yeah, yeah. You didn't do anything illegal that day. Dude.
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't have no picture. Me and we don't have no pictures.
Andrew Schultz
Yes, y' all do. We actually all of us have a picture.
Charlamagne Tha God
You guys all got to show me. Yes, I swear to God, show me. I do not. And I'm sitting there thinking, like, weezy, there's not too many times I've been around Weezy. And me and Weezy haven't had something happen. Then I remember.
Andrew Schultz
That's how diverse my wedding is. You forgot even the black people there. Look at that. Look at that right there. You don't even remember the black people at the wedding.
Charlamagne Tha God
Was the wedding diverse? Let me think about it.
Andrew Schultz
For Santa Barbara, it was the fucking ET Awards.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was the diversity of thought. It was a diversity of thought.
Andrew Schultz
I don't remember. Like, what the hell is this? Snoop Dogg performing.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what's so crazy, though? I don't even. The wedding. I just remember it was a fun day.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was a day of love. I don't. I remember what I felt that day. You know what I'm saying? I don't remember.
Andrew Schultz
You're not on the stand, bro. You're not on the stand, bro. You cannot remember Weezy being there. It's all good, man. Everything's fine. We gonna be just fine.
Charlamagne Tha God
I remember Rogan saying, let's get on a plane and go somewhere.
Andrew Schultz
Go to Vegas. Yeah, they went to Vegas.
Charlamagne Tha God
Whitney had a show or some shit.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was like, we coming right back.
Andrew Schultz
I'm like, what? Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
He's like, no, we're gonna fly there, we're gonna watch Whitney, and we're gonna come right back. And I'm like, nah, that didn't sound right. That didn't sound like he was like, come on with us. I'm like, nah, that don't.
Andrew Schultz
Bro.
Chris
Wow.
Charlamagne Tha God
Boy, you got to show me the picture, Taylor.
Andrew Schultz
My Instagram's up right now.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, the Clintons I had gave Bill Donkey of the Day, and they responded.
Andrew Schultz
What they say?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Fox News reached out to them for comment, and they responded to what I said during Donkey of the Day. Hold on, let me pull it up.
Andrew Schultz
That's crazy. That's just crazy that they get. I thought we had a hot sauce moment. I thought we connected.
Charlamagne Tha God
What did he say? What did they say? What did they say? Oh, you know, you got to go to the bottom. Oh, yeah. A Clinton spokesperson disputed Charlemagne's argument when reached by Fox News Digital. Perhaps Charlamagne the God didn't watch the entire deposition, but President Clinton did, in fact, make specific recommendations. Fox News Digital also reached out to the White House, which stressed President Trump has been cleared of any wrongdoing related to Epstein. Just as President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein. White House spokesman Abigail Jackson said. And by releasing thousands of pages. Pages of documents cooperating with a House Oversight Committee subpoena request signing the Epstein files. Transparency. Acting. Calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends. President Trump has done more for Epstein victims than anyone before him. Honestly, man, if you are. Let me see if you are. If you're a Republican, you should absolutely, positively want somebody to depose.
Andrew Schultz
Are there any white people at my wedding? Like, low key. Did I invite white people to my wedding? Yo, right there.
Charlamagne Tha God
I gotta make sure.
Andrew Schultz
What the hell?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's not fucking Weezy. That's Andrew's wife. Oh, shit.
Andrew Schultz
Damn you fuck.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, that is Weezy. Yo, I do. When I. I've seen that picture and never seen Weezy. I promise you, I've seen that picture and never seen Weezy. Yo, that's fucking crazy. See, I'd have been fucked up in the deposition. They'd be like, you was at Andrew Schultz's wedding with Weezy. I'm like. I'd be like, weezy wasn't even fucking there.
Andrew Schultz
Innocent.
Charlamagne Tha God
Then they pull up the goddamn picture, and I'm like, oh, shit.
Andrew Schultz
Y' all probably have a picture together.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sure we do. I'm sure we do. But the Moral of the story is, man, Bill Clinton answered that horribly. And Hillary's answer was the right answer. And you don't talk like that and say things like that unless you're trying to cover your own ass. Yeah, that's it.
Andrew Schultz
Obviously.
Charlamagne Tha God
Simple and plain. Simple and plain.
Andrew Schultz
Hillary's sharp. She's still sharp.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hillary's sharp.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. Yeah. How much older, how much younger is Hillary? Tay Clinton.
Chris
I'm in.
Charlamagne Tha God
Bill Clinton. Look it up. Never thought about it. She does present much younger than Bill does now. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But I also think Bill was acting slow in that deposition for a reason.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, you think he was playing games?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, man.
Andrew Schultz
Kaiser Sose.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, man. How old is Hillary?
Andrew Schultz
Wow.
Charlamagne Tha God
What? 79, 78? Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but she never been president, bro. That puts years on you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Very true.
Andrew Schultz
That puts years.
Charlamagne Tha God
And if you're being president and you out there getting a lot of side.
Andrew Schultz
Lots of it. Lots of insane amounts.
Charlamagne Tha God
Allegedly.
Andrew Schultz
Allegedly.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Allegedly.
Andrew Schultz
No, sexual.
Charlamagne Tha God
What kind of number you think we talking, bro?
Andrew Schultz
Oh, this is Wilt. Gotta be right, Wilt?
Charlamagne Tha God
Cause when I think if you got head from the intern, that's just what we know.
Andrew Schultz
Who you think put up more numbers? Him or jfk? Jfk. Who do you think? Jfk. More numbers. Jfk. Bill was. Nah. Jfk, but jfk. You don't know for sure, though.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah, Bill, Nah.
Andrew Schultz
You know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah.
Andrew Schultz
Because jfk, I think, did it at a time where they protected presidents.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm gonna tell you why I think Bill.
Andrew Schultz
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Better transportation. Better transportation, bro. Better access to better private jets.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, I thought you were making a joke. Yeah, no, man, that's what I thought. That's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, man, I hold the. No.
Andrew Schultz
I was like, no, yo, jfk. No getting head is very different situation, bro. You can't be making jokes about that. That's not something we joke about.
Charlamagne Tha God
Bill had better transportation. They had better jets and shit. They can travel all around the world.
Andrew Schultz
When you're the president, you're not traveling to get pussy. That shit is being brought to you. Nah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, yeah, but when you can travel is when you really putting up numbers. That's why the ball players put up so much numbers.
Andrew Schultz
But I think that's why JFK was putting up numbers, because this was a time where the media protected the President. Like, we didn't even know FDR couldn't walk.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but that's more NFL. Bill was more NBA. Worldwide, global. You know what I'm saying? After.
Andrew Schultz
We're saying after, but after, it doesn't matter because we can't compare JFK for after. Right. Because he didn't have an after after. JFK would have went.
Charlamagne Tha God
It would have been. You know, I think Doran, bro, he got ahead from an intern.
Andrew Schultz
You don't think JFK was getting slopped?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, they used. They were stories about. That was a conspiracy. He used to walk it. He used to bring him to the White House. Right, Chris?
Andrew Schultz
Didn't Maryland come out of the cake? Wasn't he president when that happened? Yeah. Sang that shit in front of his wife.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Diabolical.
Chris
Crazy.
Andrew Schultz
Diabolic. That's in front of his wife. In front of his wife.
Charlamagne Tha God
President. Let a legend be a legend.
Andrew Schultz
Nah. Charlotte. What's up, y'? All?
Charlamagne Tha God
Let a legend be a legend. Imagine Ray having arguments over old stuff at that age that they're in now. You don't think Hillary.
Andrew Schultz
And you think Bill's listening to her? Stop. I don't think he listened to her in 50 years. Like, she's just talking and he's just like, all right, whatever. Mint julep. Like he's in his own world.
Charlamagne Tha God
Bill's in his own world.
Andrew Schultz
He don't know where he is. Dead ass. I don't think he knows where he is.
Charlamagne Tha God
He needs you. Just give it up, bro.
Andrew Schultz
They showed him one picture with a girl on his lap, and he grabbed it out of the lawyer and said, let me see. I need that.
Charlamagne Tha God
God. He went.
Andrew Schultz
He did the old guys. Flipping through the newspaper, he admitted about the back rub.
Charlamagne Tha God
The crazy thing about the Bill is you don't know if he either remembers that night because it was such a good night, or his. He might not have the type of roster that we think. So he just remembers those moments. He was a wild boy. Maybe he was very selective.
Andrew Schultz
He got it.
Charlamagne Tha God
He got it wasn't right. He quit.
Andrew Schultz
No, actually, low key Monica Lewinsky.
Charlamagne Tha God
Baddie.
Andrew Schultz
You got to bring up Monica now. Back in the day, we had a different view. Something I think. Think TVs were more like warped or something. Now, she is beautiful. Remember how the TVs used to be more round in the front? It was a fisheye lens. Now look at her now. Are you. That's Megan Fox. That's Megan Fox. You can't tell me that's not Megan Fox.
Charlamagne Tha God
She is beautiful.
Andrew Schultz
That's Megan Fox, bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't do that. That's trauma for her, man. All I'm saying is.
Andrew Schultz
What do you mean, trauma for her? I'm saying she's beautiful. Pull up the second one.
Charlamagne Tha God
What?
Andrew Schultz
This the one we're building? Do
Charlamagne Tha God
she was an intern.
Andrew Schultz
She was like, zoom into that. That's not.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's an intern.
Andrew Schultz
She was interned, like, right here. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
She looks very much older than.
Andrew Schultz
She's mature.
Charlamagne Tha God
She looks mature.
Andrew Schultz
It is what it is. She look.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's working in the White House.
Andrew Schultz
Does not look 22 at all.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, I mean, that's a different era too, though. That was the 90s, bro. Yeah. We got to admit that all ages look different. Don't.
Andrew Schultz
Don't. Don't even go down this.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's true, though.
Andrew Schultz
I know, but don't. It's not even worth going down.
Charlamagne Tha God
Was 37.
Andrew Schultz
Shut up.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was when he did. He was in his 30s when he did stamping his son.
Chris
Wow.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look it up. Look up how old Red Fox was when they was filming sampling his son.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Lamont was supposed. Lamont was like in his 20s, I think.
Andrew Schultz
But can we acknowledge that, like, beautiful woman. She's. Okay, okay. After everything she'd been through. Who did she. Now they hate women.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, no.
Andrew Schultz
Really hate women.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Andrew Schultz
The whole. Whole. The whole thing. Like, how to even get out that her and. Wow. He's 49, Bill.
Charlamagne Tha God
You said what?
Andrew Schultz
Red Fox was 49.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm 47 right now. Red Fox was 49 when he was doing Sanford and Son, bro. Yeah, changes, like changes, bro. Like when. When Jeffrey Epstein goes into the future, he's gonna be so confused.
Andrew Schultz
What do you think he's gonna see?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's something that he is because everybody looks younger the older you get. So 20 somethings are going to look like teenagers.
Andrew Schultz
Well, isn't that a good thing?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
He's going to be happy.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, that's not what he wants.
Andrew Schultz
What?
Chris
Bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I'm going to tell y' all something else, and y' all not. I'm going to tell y' all something else. This is another part of my spiritual theories. No, no, no, no, no, don't. No, listen to me. You know how. No, man. You know how on Back to the Future they needed a certain fuel to time travel.
Andrew Schultz
Don't do it.
Chris
It.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I'm telling you, don't do it. That's why I think the underage thing comes in, bro.
Andrew Schultz
What? Say what?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm dead serious.
Andrew Schultz
That's their fuel, the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm telling you, there's something to it, bro, that it's deeper than we even thinking about. There's something to it. The whole eating the babies and drinking the baby blood and all of that. There's something to it that allows them to do something we don't know. I'm telling you, yo, there's something that. There's something to it that allows them to do something that we can't even fathom. Like we can't even wrap our mind around. Why they're just out here being these nasty ass pedophile, freaky motherfuckers. If you. I'm telling you, it's some type of power source or something that they're using to channel something like. I'm seeing all these stories about portals and time travel and you heard about that machine. What's that machine called? The. The Sin machine.
Andrew Schultz
The Hot Tub Time machine?
Charlamagne Tha God
No, man. Look at. Type in C E N machine. Taylor. I think it's sin machine.
Andrew Schultz
You gotta turn YouTube off a little bit.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's the best it's ever been.
Andrew Schultz
Cern.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cern?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah. CERN machine in Switzerland. Yeah, it's a.
Charlamagne Tha God
There you go.
Andrew Schultz
Particle collider.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look up this. No, cern. Look up cern. Look up the cern.
Andrew Schultz
C, E, R, N. Look up the CERN Particle Collider Protocol.
Charlamagne Tha God
They said this particle. Oh, particle. They said this opened up some type of portal, bro.
Andrew Schultz
There it is. Don, you had it. Tell us about cern. So the Large Hadron Particle Collider in
Charlamagne Tha God
Switzerland is this large circle where they're
Andrew Schultz
basically trying to create anti matter. They're trying to harness the God particle. There's a huge statue of Shiva the
Charlamagne Tha God
Destroyer outside of the center. And they're been some incredibly dark things
Andrew Schultz
witnessed at this space. There have been some people that have caught footage of them doing something that at a minimum looks like a reenactment of a human sacrifice.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know why you would do such a thing.
Andrew Schultz
Like this all took place right in
Charlamagne Tha God
front of the Shiva the Destroyer statue.
Andrew Schultz
There have been many people that have come forward that basically said when this particle collider is turned on, it actually
Charlamagne Tha God
pairs the fibers of our space time
Andrew Schultz
and it's created kind of these parallel fibers, fractures in our timeline.
Charlamagne Tha God
There are also people that really believe
Andrew Schultz
that what they're trying to do is create a portal to unleash the demons, the spirits of the Nephilim, to basically
Charlamagne Tha God
let them come out of the gates of hell. They're using technology, something that we would
Andrew Schultz
perceive physically, to actually allow a portal for something multidimensional.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's all on the road to something
Andrew Schultz
that we won't be able to come back from if we're not careful. The Large Hadron Collider. CERN is the world's largest, most powerful particle accelerator. 27 kilometer underground ring near Geneva. Used to study fundamental physics by smashing protons or ions at near light speed. It replicates conditions just after the Big Bang, famously discovering the Higgs Boson in 2012. And investigating dark matter. Yeah. What does that guy do with anything?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I'm about to tell you, bro.
Andrew Schultz
I mean, isn't that the ultimate time travel?
Charlamagne Tha God
Conspiracy theories surrounding the CERN Particle Accelerator, specifically the Large Hadron Collider, are often alleged that the facility is creating dangerous black holes, opening portals to other dimensions, or summoning occult entities. These often sensationalized theories are largely dismissed by the scientific community, which focuses on exploring fundamental particle physics. All right. A 2016 ritual hoax video showed people in robes at CERN fueling unfounded rumors that the LHC was designed to open a portal to Hell know or another dimension. You read like that, and then you hear this about how in the Epstein files, it talks about. No. Was it. Yeah, I think it was the Epstein files or something was saying how UFOs are demons or some like that.
Chris
Charlotte.
Andrew Schultz
Yes. You're scaring me, bro. This guy is on a deep. It's a deep end, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm able to listen to information and not believe it. I'm just saying he's always been.
Andrew Schultz
He's always been here. He's actually getting closer to reality. He was believing in ghosts and Sky Squatch, and now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, I definitely believe in ghosts.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, I know that. But I'm saying now you're just believing. And pedophiles, which we know are real and just rule the world. But this is a. This is.
Charlamagne Tha God
But we got to dig deeper. We're just saying that they're pedophiles. We're just like, oh, they're nasty. They're freaky. Like, no, there's something else to it. I believe that they are trying to harness some type of energy in their. They're either in their mind or they really are using these young underage kids for some type of energy source. Bro, it's some type of ritual going on. Bro.
Andrew Schultz
Bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, what are we talking about? Like, it's clearly obvious. It's clear.
Andrew Schultz
Obvious. I don't know about.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, okay. Well, five years from now, I guess we got. We need some other files to come out for y' all to believe it. Five years from now, y' all will be like, damn, damn, damn.
Andrew Schultz
But you're just talking about, like, the rich people, though. There's regular, average people that are pedophiles.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but they just. Nasty. I'm talking. They're Just nasty ass up motherfuckers. Yes, I am talking about you.
Andrew Schultz
So you're saying they just do it for the love of the game? These people are doing it because they're nasty and they have some sort of like lust for power?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, man. There's something they're using. I don't. By the way, I don't even know if the power is real. I'm just saying they're clearly participating in something.
Andrew Schultz
It wouldn't be the first time that the elites have participated in satanic rituals in the hopes of having some sort of superpowers. I think the Nazis did experiments like this. They were playing with the occult and doing research on the occult. Maybe you could look that up, Chris.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hold on, let me pull up this.
Andrew Schultz
No, this is. I think you're right.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know you're right. Oh, yes. No, hold on. Where the fuck was it at? Yes, the denot. The demonic ufo. But there was something. There was some type of file that came out that said UFOs are physical spacecraft from another. From other planets, but they're really demonic manifestations.
Andrew Schultz
The people at the Pentagon who say it's demons. Tell them that story. Tell them about the demons. It's Halloween. Yes. In the film, one of the senior intelligence officials named Jay Stratton, he was the director of Air and Space warfare at the Defense Intelligence Agency. And then he ran the US Government's UAP task force. He tells a story about how he was trying to run this issue up the flagpole and bring attention to it at the Pentagon. At the Pentagon in a serious office space. And his superiors told him that they thought these things were demonstration and that he was doing the devil's work by looking into it. And on camera in the film he says, I can't believe these words were coming out of their mouths. He's like, I'm briefing them on an advanced aerospace vehicle that's absolutely there. It's been spotted by trained observers like our Navy fighter pilots and their $80 million airplanes that we trust them with.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Andrew Schultz
It's been spotted on data collection systems like satellite and radar. And this guy's telling me it's a demon. It's insane. And. And, and he's like, my mind was blown and this is something I'm dealing with inside of the government.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm just telling you this shit is spooky. I know the X Files music should be playing right about now, but everything's on the table.
Andrew Schultz
Isn't X Files coming back with Iron Coogler, bro? It's perfect timing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everything's on the table but perfect. Can he really make something that's as sick as the shit we're hearing now?
Andrew Schultz
This. That's so. That's a great question. It's like, like the bar has been pushed so far with reality that once you get into sci fi, how much further do you need to push it?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
For it to be science fiction or you just operate in the realm of reality and now you're no longer a sci fi show. You're like, this is actually what happens. And you just. You're at the end of the spectrum. Which I think could be kind of cool. Like some of those episodes from Black Mirror are just today happening. Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, here it goes. Document certain researchers and according to reports, some military officials have theorized that UFOs are fallen angels, are demonic beings. Proponents of this view mention the Collins Elite, a rumored group of U.S. intelligence officials. They believe these entities are not from other planets, but are spiritual beings. The viewpoint often stems from a Bible believing Christian worldview where UAP behavior is interpreted as spiritual deception. Everybody ain't making this up, bro. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. You want to pay some bills?
Andrew Schultz
Let's do it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's pay some bills.

Charlamagne Tha God
Joe, you got church announcements. Hezekiah Walker. Yes.
Andrew Schultz
Show Shout out. Nashville. Man, thank you so much for selling out the shows. We'll see you in a few weeks. I'm excited.
Charlamagne Tha God
Atlanta, baby.
Andrew Schultz
White Atlanta. I love that you call it White Atlanta. More shows@the address.com. peace.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I didn't even mean it like that. Why do people I.
Andrew Schultz
What happened.
Charlamagne Tha God
What happened to one of my homies from Uganda, man? One of my homies from Uganda hit me up and was telling me that they were watching episode of Breakfast Club on Netflix and I said, said, oh. I said, oh, you're able to see it in Uganda? And they said, yes, of course we have Internet. I didn't mean it like. That's not. That's not how I meant it.
Andrew Schultz
Because it's on Netflix.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Andrew Schultz
And you don't know if it was syndicated out there because.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I'm. Yeah. And I know. I know that they put us in 107 countries. The only countries we're not in is Vietnam and put your hoodie down so
Andrew Schultz
it's not covering the mic.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know. The only countries we weren't in were Vietnam and Korea.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, wow. Wow.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I also don't know if you
Andrew Schultz
zip your hoodie up a little bit.
Charlamagne Tha God
I also don't know if they was just. If they just. I mean, they can tell us that you don't know till you know. Right?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. I think he's projecting a little bit. He thinks that, you know, that's what Americans think of Africa.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy. This is actually a woman. But yes, you're. You're absolutely right. Listen, 2 Chainz, man. Salute to my guy. 2 Chainz. His book, the Voice in My Head is God is out right now. Let's put the picture up right here because I forgot to bring it with me. But his new book, the Voice in My Head is God is out right Now. It is a fantastic read, man. It literally talks about instincts and intuition. And I personally believe that is something that we don't tap into enough, or at least we don't give enough credit to our instinct and intuition. I think that a lot of times we talk about setting goals and we set these goals and we Just work towards these goals. But what made you set the goal to be begin with? What was that voice in your head that said, man, I want to be a comedian, I want to be a radio personality, I want to be gay and open up a studio for podcasters, you know what I mean? Like, what was that voice?
Andrew Schultz
He didn't choose to be gay. He was talking about Weezy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. God damn. Everybody started flirting at once. You heard that? God damn. But listen, the voice in my head is. God is out right now, man. Go get the. Go get it. It's a great read. Salute to everybody that came out to Barnes and Nobles Union Square this week. We had a book signing at Barnes and Noble. Union Square was sold out. Yes. You can sell out a bookstore. You sell out a bookstore, especially Barnes and Nobles Union Square. When I think it's what, three? That's that capacity. So I think 300 is capacity. You can't have more than 300. So you know, we had to turn people away. But thank you to people who, well, not turn them away, but you know, they had to do a turn to get em in, get em out. But thank you to everybody who came out. Man, go get two Chain's book. The voice in my head is God available everywhere. You buy books now?
Andrew Schultz
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
And make sure you watch the Breakfast Club on Netflix.
Andrew Schultz
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Allegedly or apparently when you promote that your show is on a platform, that means you're struggling. Oh yeah, you're not supposed to do that.
Andrew Schultz
Who said that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Even though everybody on YouTube starts their videos off by saying like, and subscribe my content.
Andrew Schultz
Wait, who said that? That.
Charlamagne Tha God
And it doesn't even matter. But you know, it's it. Why are you looking at me like that? Taylor, stop. I'm not looking at you.
Andrew Schultz
I'm actually looking at the screen.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm just saying that apparently when you tell people to go watch your content somewhere.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you do what you call promotion and marketing, it means you're struggling. So go watch Breakfast Club.
Andrew Schultz
Why make something and put it out publicly and then not tell people to watch it?
Charlamagne Tha God
Makes no sense.
Andrew Schultz
Like if you don't care if people watch it, then just don't put it out publicly.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the whole point. Like, especially if you know a show,
Andrew Schultz
like if you're proud of it, then you should share it as much as you possibly could. Right. Nothing wrong with that.
Charlamagne Tha God
In a show like ours that was historically on YouTube as far as the visual is concerned, if we're just putting clips on YouTube now, why wouldn't we tell people where to Go find the full video. And I also want to say.
Andrew Schultz
I would want to know that if I enjoyed a clip.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. And I also want to say, when you do these think pieces with no thought, and you say that the Breakfast Club is losing viewership because we're no longer on YouTube, let's have honest. Just have intellectually honest conversations. If you say. Cause, you know, everybody saw the clip of Just hilarious this week. If you say that, you know, people are upset we're no longer on YouTube, that's very accurate. There are people that are upset that we're no longer on YouTube because they
Andrew Schultz
have to go through one more thing to watch the show. There's an inconvenience to it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Change is hard for people. I get it. You know what I mean? So there are people who are upset.
Andrew Schultz
They're, like, engaging in the comments section. They like feeling like they're part of the conversation, for sure.
Charlamagne Tha God
But when you say things like, Breakfast Club is losing viewership, you cannot.
Andrew Schultz
How would they know that?
Charlamagne Tha God
You can't have that conversation if you don't know what our viewership on Netflix. I need people to be smarter. That's why I salute to my guy, Art. You know, I was talking to Art and I saw Art do a video. But it's like, I told Art the same thing. It's like, when these people have these conversations about Breakfast Club losing viewership, you got to say, well, what are they doing on Netflix? What are the numbers on Netflix?
Andrew Schultz
Charlamagne, Let me ask you a question. Do you think a video that was made from a YouTube creator, a TikTok creator that said, hey, we don't know if the Breakfast Club is losing viewers or not because they're on Netflix, do you think that would get any views?
Chris
I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're right.
Andrew Schultz
What do you think gets more views?
Charlamagne Tha God
This salacious shit saying Breakfast Club is losing viewers. The negative relationship.
Andrew Schultz
Of course. Yeah. And that's what we're drawn to. We're drawn to negativity as human beings.
Charlamagne Tha God
I get it. Here's the reality of the situation. You should want podcasts to win on Netflix, guys. The reason you should want podcasts to win on Netflix is because. And I don't even call them podcasts. There's a great article that came out in the New York Times this week about what exactly Netflix is doing, especially with their originals. I'm quoted in the article a couple of times, and I've said it. You know, I think that, you know, that's the Vodcast business. In order for it to be a podcast, it has to have the audio component. But that's neither here nor there. What I'm simply saying is if you are a podcaster who's doing this right now, right, you're watching this video, video on YouTube, you should be happy that it's more revenue streams opening. You should be happy that it's more people who may want to license your content. You should be happy about that. You should be happy with another revenue screen.
Andrew Schultz
You asking miserable people to be happy, man. And you know too much about mental health to understand that that's possible.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm trying to give them a reason to be happy.
Andrew Schultz
They got to be happy inside first.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because you got. It's going. It's going to come a time. Like you might be doing all of these numbers on YouTube, but you might be tired of. Of having a platform that is demonetizing your content when they want to. You might be tired of being on a platform that's suppressing your content when they want to. So you might want to say, you know what? I want to take this great content that I'm creating and do a deal with one of these streamers. You know, get some guaranteed money in my pocket for a couple of years, get introduced to a whole different audience on a whole different algorithm. Hopefully people that fuck with me, you know, come over and watch it here as well. Well. And boom, all is right with the world. That's what I. I mean, that's what I would do if I was. I would think if I was.
Andrew Schultz
The more people. Listen, the more people that are competing for you, the higher your price goes and the more companies that are competing for your attention.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
Andrew Schultz
The lower their price goes. That's right. So it always benefits the creator and the consumer if there are more opportunities, if there's one place only. Like I remember this even happened with standup specials. Like, there were times where there was just one place and they could pay you whatever the fuck they wanted.
Charlamagne Tha God
What'd you say?
Andrew Schultz
There was a stand up special?
Charlamagne Tha God
Stand up.
Andrew Schultz
There was one place. It was Comedy Central. There's hbo, right? So one. Now you have limited amounts and they don't have to compete with prices. They just go, this is what it is. If you have it. If you have 10 different platforms that are all trying to get you and your viewers to come watch on their platform, which is what it's really about. That price is a bidding war.
Charlamagne Tha God
That is a great example.
Andrew Schultz
What's your worst Earth isn't real until somebody else offers something that's right.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. Because Netflix got into the game of standup specials. Hulu's in the game of stand up specials. Amazon puts up stand up specials.
Andrew Schultz
Hulu getting into the game of Netflix specials bumped everybody. Yeah, sorry, that's it. Yeah. Bumped everybody else's prices up significantly. Because it's not like Netflix doesn't want to pay you. They're gonna pay. They got money. They were gonna buy some. Was it Warner Brothers? For billions of dollars. But they don't have to pay you more than is willing to offer, right? Yeah. So it's leverage. So if Hulu is going, hey, we're going to give you this, the Netflix got to go. All right, well, we'll match that or we got to beat that. And that's the same thing with TV shows. That's the same thing with movies.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
You want to be able to shop your shit to as many different people as possible because it's just advantageous to you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. And it's weird, right? Like, I hear people talk this. This is the other crazy thing to me, like, Netflix is the number one screamer in the world. World. Right.
Andrew Schultz
Number two. No.
Charlamagne Tha God
Number one.
Andrew Schultz
No. YouTube's number one.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think YouTube's considered a screamer, though. Who's not considered a screamer? Like Disney and Amazon.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, it's not like a paid streamer in that. Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying.
Charlamagne Tha God
Netflix is the number one screamer that has subscribers.
Andrew Schultz
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. So they got 300 million plus subscribers. I think it's like 700 plus million global views a day.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, it's.
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't just touch Ms. Netflix. And the crazy thing that's funny, the funny thing to me is, like, people will be like, like, I'm not watching Breakfast Club on Netflix. But then you constantly tweeting about the America's Next Top Model doc, you constantly tweeting about Stranger Things, you constantly tweeting about the Diddy doc, whatever the fuck it is.
Andrew Schultz
That's what you said, though. It's like, it's. You know, change is always gonna be tricky, and people are gonna be frustrated with change, and eventually they'll adjust to it.
Charlamagne Tha God
And a lot of it is just narrative, Andrew. Somebody will get online, create a narrative, put something in somebody's head.
Chris
No.
Charlamagne Tha God
And then everybody will run with it.
Andrew Schultz
No way. When has that happened ever? I can't fathom that that even exists.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm just saying it happened. So now everybody's like, yeah, I agree. But I just want everybody to ask one simple question to themselves. What are the viewership numbers on Netflix? And it's not just for Breakfast Club. This is for Joe and Jada. This is for Chelsea Handler. This is for, you know, anybody that's over there. Bill Simmons. What are the numbers on Netflix?
Andrew Schultz
They're not gonna tell you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, when you get the numbers on Netflix, then we can have an honest conversation on whether this is working or not. And by the way, if it don't work, I will be the first to tell y'. All. Cause I want us to win. If sometimes we gotta be the first over the hill to see what's over there, cool. But I'll be the first to tell you if it don't work. Trust me. Trust in both.
Andrew Schultz
Believe.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay? And I'll be yes.
Andrew Schultz
Also, did anybody ever watch the whole breakfast club on YouTube or were the interviews chopped up?
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly. It was never the full show.
Andrew Schultz
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was always segments like. Like, so. And even now, when you go on the breakfast club on YouTube, we. We do put up clips. You know, we put up clips on. So nothing has changed on social media.
Andrew Schultz
That's.
Charlamagne Tha God
No.
Andrew Schultz
I would organize Breakfast Club on Netflix. I would have. I would have, like. I would have it piecemeal. And.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, Donkey Today is probably piece.
Andrew Schultz
Well, but so for me, what I would do is, like, you click on Netflix, and it's just like, click on Breakfast Club and it's just like. You know how it has episodes and seasons?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, it does have that.
Andrew Schultz
But what I would break it up is like, okay, Donkey Today. And then there's all your donkey a days. Okay, interviews, and then there's all the interviews, and then there's full episodes where you could just watch the full episode. But that way, if you just want the Donkey Today, you're running that. If you want an interview from three years ago, that was fire. And you just want to watch it again, you get that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, no. But it's no back catalog on there. That's what people don't realize. Like, when you go, like, every day, daily.
Andrew Schultz
That's crazy. I would have bought the back catalog if I was them.
Charlamagne Tha God
You can't. How do you buy a back catalog? It's too. It's all over the place.
Andrew Schultz
I would have bought it anymore.
Charlamagne Tha God
15 years. All over YouTube. You can't do it. And that. Come on. Back catalog. Breakfast Club would be too crazy.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but you're not getting more money for it now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, you are.
Andrew Schultz
I mean, you're getting, like, YouTube views and that kind of exactly.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, you get. You're still monetizing on YouTube, but when you go there daily on Netflix, what you see is the Breakfast Club full show. Then you see Donkey of the Day, then you see the full interview. So those are the three. I love it because they, because they organize it like how to podcast.
Andrew Schultz
I would have just license it like they do Seinfeld or Friends or whatever. I would be like, yo, give us your whole back catalog. And we're going to give you a licensing fee for the length of the contract here. And it can also be on YouTube. But I just want you guys to get into the flow of always coming to Netflix to watch your Breakfast Club. Well, that's what I wanted. I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't want to say too much because I have ideas. And the last time I had an idea which I knew was going to happen, like, I knew YouTube was. Was going to. I knew and I said, there's a. There's a brilliant episode where I was like, you know what? I'm not going to say this because I don't want to give them no ideas. I knew they were going to suppress the content that went over to Netflix. It was. It's just. It just makes sense. What you mean they suppressed the content? Like the content that's still. Because we still put clips up on YouTube.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, but they're not, Not. They're not letting it all up at all.
Charlamagne Tha God
No. And why would. Why would you.
Andrew Schultz
But there must be some sort of, like, what is the government body that regulates content on the airwaves? Ftc, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Get the fcc. Who. They don't give a.
Andrew Schultz
But there should be some fcc. Like if you're unfairly throttling content, like that's.
Charlamagne Tha God
But they've been doing that. They can do that anyway. And by the way, they're not regulated by FCC. What are we talking about? YouTube's never been regulated by the FC.
Andrew Schultz
They must have some sort.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, that's always been the question.
Andrew Schultz
I think that's television.
Charlamagne Tha God
None. Not for streamers, SEC's for radio and fucking TV.
Andrew Schultz
There wouldn't be a brilliant idiots if they were.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh my God. Oh, my God. But yes, man, go watch the Breakfast Club on Netflix. You know, listen, guys, we're doing. We're doing great. That's all I can tell you. And stay tuned for, you know, more announcements considering Breakfast Club on Netflix. Cause you know what my ultimate goal is. But baby, and just letting you know that's right around the corner.
Andrew Schultz
What's your ultimate goal
Charlamagne Tha God
to. No, man, I don't want to say.
Andrew Schultz
You just said, we know it.
Charlamagne Tha God
I've told y' all off air. I don't need to. I don't need to show my hands here. Yeah, I'll tell y' all when it happens, all right? But it's going to be great. Okay? It'll be great.
Andrew Schultz
Guys, major announcement. I got a brand new show. It's called AM Mornings. It's a live calling show. We talk about everything. Politics, culture, sports, everything in between. I want to hear from you guys at home. So just head over to AM Mornings on YouTube. That's every Sunday at 11am and then also I'm throwing another comedy show. Canceled Comedy X. That's the brand. We're throwing a show on March 16 at Barloom here in New York City, Flatiron. So if you're available, if you want to come have laughs. It's a crazy lineup, some familiar faces, and. Yeah, I'll see you there. Canceled Comedy x dot com.
Charlamagne Tha God
What else we got? Taylor Gang.
Andrew Schultz
I thought this was funny.
Charlamagne Tha God
What? More Asian hate. You know how you do, don't you do it. Leave my guy Chris alone. Because he like. She like to do that. Yo, she shot at Chris twice last week for no reason. Chris, don't bother nobody. Yeah, okay.
Andrew Schultz
It is fucking.
Charlamagne Tha God
What do you mean twice? You did.
Andrew Schultz
Did.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, no, it was you and Andrew. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.
Andrew Schultz
And I didn't shoot at Chris.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, you did.
Andrew Schultz
He's Jewish. Chris, can I ask you what this is? What did the Taiwanese community think about AOC's remarks about America defending Taiwan?
Chris
Oh, I didn't see those remarks. What'd she say?
Andrew Schultz
Well, she got a lot of criticism for it and some unfair, but, like, she didn't really have a concrete answer. You know, she's like, we would do everything we could diplomatically to make sure that that didn't happen.
Chris
Happen.
Andrew Schultz
But I don't think she explicitly said America would defend Taiwan. And I'm just wondering how your. Your people feel about it. She was kind of fenced.
Charlamagne Tha God
You want to hear it?
Andrew Schultz
Let's let Chris hear.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's let Chris hear it.
Andrew Schultz
Would and should the US Actually commit US Troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, I think that this is
Andrew Schultz
such a. I think that. This is, of course, a very longstanding policy of the United States. And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that
Charlamagne Tha God
point, and we want to make sure
Andrew Schultz
that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation. And for that question to even arise.
Chris
It's not the strongest statement I've ever heard. But listen, I mean, I'm. Well, you guys have now had me convinced I'm Taiwanese, so I'll keep going on with that thought.
Andrew Schultz
But your wife's fam. Your wife is Taiwanese.
Chris
I have a vested interest.
Andrew Schultz
You frequent Taiwan a lot.
Chris
I'm a frequent visitor to Taiwan. I have a lot tied up in Taiwan. The idea of Taiwan being overtaken by mainland China would be painful for me, for sure. I think I was talking to Charlemagne this weekend about it. I would also be a hypocrite. The same way that you see Iranian Americans all of a sudden, essentially, let's say progressive Iranian Americans who are here because of democracy and are here because of freedom, suddenly jumping in bed with Trump and cheering what he's doing. I would very much be the same sort of hypocrisy. A career where, if, you know, a Republican conservative type suddenly was the last defender of Taiwan. Suddenly. There's a saying, politics makes strange bedfellows. Right. This would. This would be an example of that. Having said all that, I don't think there's going to be a ton of support for Taiwan if that situation takes place. I don't. I mean, there's not a ton of support. You can't compare it to what's happening in Iran in terms of the US's relationship to the two countries. But I think the one message you're hearing throughout this from both sides pretty loud and clear is we don't want this country getting involved in this stuff. Right. We got problems here that need to address that would bode very poorly. But I will say this the same way. I think, unfortunately, we might learn going into a country like Iran, which is filled with mountains and 92 million people, is not going to be Venezuela.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, not at all.
Andrew Schultz
You're not going to.
Chris
Taiwan is not going to be Venezuela for China in this case.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, whoa.
Andrew Schultz
This is a take I haven't heard.
Charlamagne Tha God
Go. I'm going to be.
Andrew Schultz
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on. What do you mean?
Chris
Meaning this idea that, like China, I
Charlamagne Tha God
mean, Taiwan is hypothetical wars when it's real ones going on. I'm saying it's almost.
Andrew Schultz
It's almost more calming to do it.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, go ahead.
Chris
I'm just saying Taiwan's a small country comparatively to China. Right. China has all the advantages in terms of military and arms and what have you.
Andrew Schultz
Yes.
Chris
With all that Being said, if they invade Taiwan, it is going to be brutal street fighting, block by block.
Andrew Schultz
You think the Taiwanese people will defend it to the death.
Chris
My wife's cousin is a very successful executive on an international level. Has everything to lose. He's very matter of factly told me, like, oh, if they invade, I will be out in the street with a fucking stick if I have to. Like, we're gonna get killed out there. We're not gonna lay down.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
Chris
And you know how Iranians feel about it is probably a little more split. Taiwan's fairly split too.
Andrew Schultz
Interesting, right?
Chris
I mean, because you gotta remember there's a significant portion of the population from Taiwan whose. A generation ago, they did immigrate from China in 1940. They were the nationalists who got chased out. No, no, the opposite.
Andrew Schultz
I'm sorry, the Mao opposition.
Chris
Chiang Kai Shek, they were chased out by Mao. Right. So to those people, the idea of being part of China might not be the worst thing in the world. They see themselves as Chinese. To people like my wife's family who have been in Taiwan for four or 500 years.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, that's interesting, right? Oh, that's very.
Chris
People want a history of Taiwan. You can skip ahead if you're not into this shit. We'll mark it. But Taiwan as an island is inhabited by people who are essentially Samoans.
Andrew Schultz
That's my ignorance. I assumed that it was inhabited by the Mao opposition. I didn't realize that it was a country that existed with its own indigenous population. And then the Maoist opposition came.
Chris
No, that's not what. What happened. There's an indigenous population. Maybe not Samoans, but Pacific Islanders.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah.
Chris
Around the 17th century, Chinese pirates start using the coast of Taiwan as a base to raid mainland China. Then people start setting up sugar cane plantations on Taiwan. And you have a wave of immigrants from mainland southern China who come to Taiwan and they slowly begin to populate it, but they live essentially in peace with the indigenous population. And this is for about 400 years.
Andrew Schultz
It.
Chris
There's a period when the Portuguese kind of take over, but for the most part, the mainland Chinese are in control alongside an indigenous population. The Japanese coming in about 1850. No, 1880, maybe. They kind of leave the Chinese population alone, but they target the indigenous population. They. Taiwan has a huge mountain range which runs the spine of the country. It's very dense, it's very difficult to traverse. They chase the indigenous into the mountains and slowly kind of hunt them down and almost wipe them off the island. This is, you know, turn of the last Century.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chris
So now you have essentially a Chinese and ethnically Chinese population that's controlled by a colonial Japanese force until 1948, when the Japanese lose World War II, have to evacuate Taiwan. And now you have the nationals who've been fighting Mao in mainland China.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're driven.
Chris
They escape. They flee to Taiwan, and they claim that's China, which obviously it's not. And now you have a divided ethnically Chinese population where there's people. My sister is married to a Taiwanese American guy.
Andrew Schultz
Guy.
Chris
Also, his parents immigrated from China in 1948. We call them Taiwanese. They see themselves as Chinese. Right.
Andrew Schultz
Because they're ethnically Chinese.
Chris
Everyone's ethnically Chinese. It's just.
Andrew Schultz
Except your wife's family, which is ethnically Taiwanese.
Chris
But ethnically Taiwanese is still ethnically Chinese.
Andrew Schultz
But you said that there was an indigenous population that was chased into the mountains.
Chris
Right. And there's some intermarriage. Like she's partially indigenous, but.
Andrew Schultz
Right.
Chris
The example would be like, we all came from, let's say, Britain to an extent. Right?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris
There are people who came at one period, and then there's another wave who come 300 years later. They all have the same common cultural roots.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Chris
They don't see each other as the same.
Andrew Schultz
Interesting.
Chris
So now you have a country that's split between two parties, and part of those people see themselves as Taiwanese and feel they have nothing to do whatever with mainland China.
Andrew Schultz
Part of see themselves as Chinese, and they're fine with.
Charlamagne Tha God
Chris, you're never disenthused about Jewish conversations?
Chris
We can talk.
Charlamagne Tha God
Dude never given us. Has he ever given us any breakdown like this about Israel ever? Ever? That was amazing. I'm not going to l. That I didn't know any of that. And I'm also thinking to myself, and I hate to say it, I feel like Chinese going into Taiwan is inevitable because of the state of the world. When you look at Russia, things are happening that you've never thought you'd see before.
Andrew Schultz
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Russia going into Ukraine, America going after Iran. Why wouldn't China go into Taiwan?
Chris
They're not a great army, historically.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Okay.
Chris
I mean, you know, knock on wood. They really would prefer to strangle you economically than invade. That's kind of their M.O.
Andrew Schultz
yeah, they're not a expansionist.
Chris
Well, they do. I mean, they've expanded throughout Vietnam and all throughout Southeast Asia, Malaysia, and all these places, but they do it by sending waves of immigrants who populate and take over the government.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Chris
They don't love to send in armies. Their armies don't fight so well. Taiwan is, I think, the most densely populated country in the world. Could be like.
Charlamagne Tha God
So is that the only way for them to take over Taiwan?
Chris
Well, they tried to take it over. Ironically, the Komitong, which is the group that fled Mao after World War II, is now the pro mainland China party in Taiwan. They've lost power, but the sense was as long as they had power, they would slowly reintegrate themselves. It's sort of similar to what you've seen in Taiwan in Hong Kong.
Andrew Schultz
Hong Kong, yeah.
Chris
Where they've just kind of taken over Hong Kong, and now Hong Kong is no longer an independent country. The problem is you've had generations. Even if you see yourself as connected to mainland China culturally, you've had several generations who are free in terms of democracy and free. Free in terms of expression, economic opportunity in a way that you don't get in mainland China. And are those.
Andrew Schultz
Are they willing to sacrifice that?
Chris
And that's the big question.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
How bad? That was great. We got to save that for when China invades Taiwan.
Andrew Schultz
Oh.
Chris
Because when it happens now, the same way all of a sudden, now we're all Iranian experts, but.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, but you're different, Chris.
Andrew Schultz
You're fans.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Like, you go there all the time.
Andrew Schultz
You go there every year.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would listen to you before I listen to anybody. Well, not anybody, but most people.
Chris
Hopefully, my services will not be required.
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly. How bad is Iran gonna get?
Chris
I think very bad.
Charlamagne Tha God
Me too.
Chris
Unless they just back up.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think America thought this was gonna be the usual tit for tat. You know, we hit you, you hit us back. Okay, cool week, come back to the table, blah, blah, blah. Not this time. Not this time. And it feels like Iran is going to let America punch itself out, basically. Did you see this?
Chris
I said to someone the other day, this might be the greatest rope, a dope of all time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. Explain, Chris, because you'll do it better than me. Did you see the theory about how the US could run low on weapons for its assault on Iran because it just cost us more?
Chris
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
This is Afghanistan with the Russians again, Right.
Chris
They punch themselves out.
Andrew Schultz
So, like, in. In when? So somebody told me that, like, Afghanistan was the Russians. Vietnam.
Chris
I can see that.
Andrew Schultz
Right. So basically, the Russians are, like, sending these, like, you know, military helicopters to go fight a war with people who are, like, literally hiding in caves. And then I think the Americans were arming them with rocket launchers that could take out these helicopters. And each helicopter cost $20 million, and each rocket launcher cost. Cost, you know, 10,000 bucks. So if you just do the math, eventually you're like, okay, this is no longer worth it. And I think that's the situation where people are presenting for Iran, which is like, if it costs a million bucks, every time we shoot down one of these drones is 20,000 bucks. Yeah, you do the math. As long as they can keep making drones or keep launching them, it's just going to be too costly. Will we run out of missiles? I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
But Iran ain't even got to the good yet, bro.
Andrew Schultz
So they say the question is, is do have we limited their capacity to launch it?
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought we did that last summer.
Andrew Schultz
Oh yeah, but I thought we did that last summer. So when the war starts, the first casualty is the truth.
Charlamagne Tha God
God damn.
Andrew Schultz
So this, you can't believe anything you see.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's like, okay, there's so many things that you can point to to say that pisses you off about this situation, right? Shows you were a big anti war guy.
Andrew Schultz
Huge, Huge.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right? My biggest issue, I'm not gonna say biggest, but the problem I have is I don't want American government and American elected officials beholden to anybody but the American people. I don't care if it's Putin and Russia, I don't care if it's Bibi and Israel. I don't want us doing the bidding of anybody except for the. I don't want the American government doing the bidding of anybody except for the American people.
Andrew Schultz
And I think that's the thing here that the American people are trying to understand. They're like, how is this beneficial to us? Right? Like, and you hear the people trying to put out the, the propaganda, which is they've chanted death to America and it's just like, yeah, I don't want no country should be chanting Death to America, by the way. Okay? We don't want that. We're not pro that. Right? But like, oh, they're gonna have nuclear weapons. The reality is, is like, you could tell me all these, these statistics and facts, but if the American people themselves, if we do not have an existential threat from the country of Iran, it's going to be very hard to get, get some support for a war against them. And I don't know if the average American is walking around afraid of Iran. Do you guys think that that exists here in America?
Charlamagne Tha God
How did they reboot a screen for
Chris
a war, but only not in a like conventional army sense? I mean, I'm afraid of any country or anybody that could unleash individual terrorists against the country.
Andrew Schultz
Of course. But I think Americans are afraid that they're not going to be able to afford health care. I think Americans are afraid they're not going to be able to buy a house. I think Americans are afraid that they're not going to be able to continue working at their job because it's gonna be replaced by AI. So if you wanna hear about a government spending hundreds of billions of dollars, you would hope that those hundreds of billions of dollars are going to work on those fears that America have, not this existential threat that you still have.
Chris
Low on our list. Yes, but let's address the elephant in the room. Very high on somebody else's list.
Andrew Schultz
Absolutely right. Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
So say the person's name.
Andrew Schultz
The.
Chris
The great nation of Israel. And I think we're at a very dangerous moment, especially for Jews in America, because.
Charlamagne Tha God
Chris, say that you're Jewish. Just for people who.
Chris
Just for those who don't know, I am a Jew. Jewish support in America, or I should say America's support for Israel has always just been like a gift given. Right. For the last 50 years, it's just been sort of accepted. We're always gonna. They're gonna be our closest ally in the region, arguably one of our closest allies across the world, period. I don't know if it's ever fully been under a microscope. Right. It is under a fucking microscope right now.
Charlamagne Tha God
And
Chris
I think I might have said to you, like, I think they're out over their skis the moment, and I want to be very careful in the phrasing. This isn't about Jews specifically in America. It's not even necessarily about the state of Israel. It is very specifically about the Netanu government, which is a very aggressive government, which is a right wing government that's been corrupted and was frankly on its way out before October 7th with the possibility that he would have wound up in jail.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why does nobody talk about.
Chris
It's a very real situation.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm like, why is nobody talking about it? I knew that already.
Chris
And I get that you got a dangerous situation where in my opinion, you have two leaders with nothing to lose who might potentially be facing jail or some sort of repercussion for how they're moving. And that's a dangerous combo. They're gonna make moves that I don't think a whole lot of other people would have made, and you don't know what to believe because the story was last summer. I think it was, hey, we bombed their shit. That was crazy. At the moment, we've sent this incredible bunker.
Charlamagne Tha God
We obliterated their nuclear capabilities. It's over.
Andrew Schultz
Can we talk about that for a moment? Because there was an interesting thing that happened back then. We obliterated their nuclear capabilities, supposedly, which they were very easily got them back up and running within weeks. And now they're weeks away from another nuclear bomb. Okay, whatever. They did a retaliatory attack. Do you guys remember that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Andrew Schultz
They attacked a base. Where was it?
Chris
In somewhere in the middle. It was light, appropriately light.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was a tit for tat.
Andrew Schultz
But what was interesting is after that there was no further retaliation.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what they thought this was going to be. I really believe that.
Andrew Schultz
Well, I'm curious your thoughts on it then, because what I thought about that moment was I thought that basically the US let them save face. Right? They're like, yo, we're going to take out your nuclear capabilities.
Chris
Right?
Andrew Schultz
Right. You're saying, death to America. We're worried about you nuking us. Who knows if that's even real? Maybe it's Israel's worried about them nuking them and we're doing it for them. But they go and attack us. They let us know before the attack happens and then we let them save face. And then it's just. And I looked at that and I go, oh, wow, maybe we don't want to go to war with Iran on maybe that maybe we are going to prioritize not having boots on the ground in a foreign country and trying to bomb them into regime change, which has never happened in the history of the world.
Chris
Right?
Andrew Schultz
Maybe. And then this happens and it's like,
Charlamagne Tha God
all right, it don't even make no sense. I mean, the thing I hate the most is how Americans get screwed. I mean, number one, of course, you
Andrew Schultz
know, can I say one thing real quick because I hear all these people saying justifications for it online. They're like, like, well, the, you know, what is it called? Iran state sponsored terror has killed a thousand Americans over the last whatever years. Iran state sponsored terror have tried to kill President Trump and oppressing the people in the oppressive. But like, what I don't understand is all these things happened before when we struck the nuclear facility, right? What has changed between then and now?
Chris
I can tell you what changed.
Andrew Schultz
Well, but do you understand what I'm saying? It's like all of a sudden this propaganda is coming out where like, we had to do this because of what they've done.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I will say there have been a lot of people who have always been speaking out for the people of Iran and have actually been screaming and begging for America to intervene.
Andrew Schultz
Let's be very clear.
Charlamagne Tha God
And get rid of the leadership in Iran.
Andrew Schultz
I don't think there's. Again, I can't speak for all Americans, but I doubt there's anybody in America that doesn't want the people of Iran to be liberated from an incredibly oppressive regime. The question is, is it worth. Worth thousands and thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars to do it?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. And I just think it's wild when I hear. I think it's wild when I hear people who say. Who are in support of the Iranian people and they say, I want them to get a taste of the democracy that we've experienced here in America. Sure. But can we also acknowledge that our democracy here in America is looking very shaky right now?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. You don't want this version? No, there's a better version of this. It's better than what you got now.
Charlamagne Tha God
The guy you're cheering to do it is literally threatening our democracy.
Andrew Schultz
But I guess here, what I, what I said is I wouldn't be critical of a person who is Persian, right, Who, like, wants to see their family liberated. Like, my criticism, not of you, I completely get that. I understand that. The question then is like, I also don't begrudge any American that's like, why the fuck are we doing this when I can't even afford to buy a house? How do we all of a sudden have hundreds of billions of dollars for this war that I don't even understand how it benefits us at all? And I don't feel any existential threat from this country.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the basic thing, right? The basic thing is, like, Tupac got money for war, but can't feed the poor. But then you got the fact that there was no plan. Like, there wasn't even no plan for the Iranian people. We're going to get these leaders out and then, you know, the people will take over. What does that even mean, number one? Number two, what about all of these people stuck in all of these countries? That's how you know it wasn't no plan. That's how you know none of this was really, truly premeditated. This is some spur in a moment shit. Cuz why wouldn't they get our people out of Israel and Dubai?
Andrew Schultz
Because, look, so real quick, Chris, so what is so the. What has changed, right? Because this is the, this is the stuff that I hear people that are supportive of this saying, right? They're like, they tried to kill Trump. Right. Which you should never try to attempt to to assassinate a leader of the United States of America, any foreign country.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did he give an example of how, though.
Andrew Schultz
Again, this is. I'm going off of, like, what they're. I don't want to call it propaganda, but let's just. Whatever, let's. The war propaganda. So all the things that they're saying existed before we took out the nuclear physicians facility. What has changed from then till now that we need to do this cash transfer?
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, I'm just on the table,
Andrew Schultz
but is it a fair. Is it a fair question that I'm asking? Like, it was. So this is the.
Chris
This is the most, like, the brightest version I can paint of it.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Chris
Iran is at a historically weak moment in that it's. Remember, they're Shiite Muslims, they're not Sunni Muslims. They're the minority parties in the Muslim world. So they essentially only have but so many allies to start with. Syria was a very close major ally. Iran supports Hamas, Hezbollah.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, no, there's no.
Chris
Those guys are all. Syria's over. Hamas is essentially destroyed. Hezbollah is like, barely there. This was the moment where, if you were a country that saw Iran as an existential threat, this is the moment to make your move. They're never probably gonna be this weak again. The problem is the country who sees that is Israel. So what has happened between the relationship with Israel and America that suddenly we felt obliged to move with them? Because essentially we're their sponsors, we give them their military budget, we pour billions of dollars into them. We should be calling the shot in every situation. There's a famous moment, I think it was with Clinton, like when he was talking to Netanu and I think Netanyahuanu, oh, no, it was Sharon. But one of the presidents was trying to boss him out. He's like, who's the fucking superpower here? We're the superpower. We're calling the shots. We don't seem to be calling the shots at the moment. And. And the problem is, I would even welcome some bullshit messaging where they make a case.
Andrew Schultz
They don't lie us.
Charlamagne Tha God
They aren't giving us anything. They didn't even try with this one. They didn't even try with the propaganda.
Chris
Bush went through the whole yellow cake
Andrew Schultz
and hole and pals and all that. No, they don't. They go, venezuela got oil, we're taking it. Greenland got rare earths, we're taking it. And now with Iran, they don't even have a thing that we're taking. Right. Like, they don't even say, hey, we're going to run we got the.
Charlamagne Tha God
We don't even get a trailer, bro.
Andrew Schultz
I don't even know what to get a trailer.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just drop the movie and expect us to go see it, bro. Like, the day of.
Chris
Like, they didn't even warm us. Warm us up a little bit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Warm us up a little bit.
Andrew Schultz
World War II, the king of England came here eating hot dogs, right? Like, they had to. They had to find a way to get American support into shit. And I think now with the way that, like, information is disseminated, it's, like, democratized, so, like, people can say something. Stuff. So you don't have every single news program just spouting the same bullshit right now. They can't exactly lie us in.
Charlamagne Tha God
Or they made Colin Powell go explain his case in front of the UN, Right? He had to go. They sold it. I think I read a statistic that said 70% of all people during that time literally believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. 30%, I think. I don't know if this is their exact number, but it's around the right. 30% thought it was some complete bullshit. Right Now I saw numbers that say it's the complete opposite.
Andrew Schultz
Oh, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
30% are like, believe it. And 70 are like, what the is this?
Andrew Schultz
And also, let's stop being frivolous with American lives. Four Americans have died, man. Right? Four Americans.
Charlamagne Tha God
That we know of. That.
Andrew Schultz
That we know.
Charlamagne Tha God
I have no reason to believe that that number is only four people.
Andrew Schultz
Fair. I think that they. Whatever. It doesn't matter. I wouldn't. I think it might be up to six now, or maybe it's six after. Okay? But my point is, like, zero American lives should be taken if you don't have an excuse for us to even go do this. Like, not a single American should be dead if you're not even willing to give us a reason why we should be going to do this.
Charlamagne Tha God
And if the. And if the whole world.
Andrew Schultz
How disrespectful is that to Americans, the people that not only put in a bill for this, but also risking their lives for us that you don't even give us the dignity of an excuse
Charlamagne Tha God
to go do it. And what's so sad is when the whole.
Andrew Schultz
All of y' all gotta get out.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's sad is when the whole world and Americans are looking at the situation, and we know the reason. Because you're beholden to Bibi Netanyahu. We don't know why. We don't know if it's because you're getting paid. Allegedly. We don't know if you're we just know you're compromised in some way. And I'll say it again, I don't want any American elected official being beholden to anybody but the American.
Andrew Schultz
The American people.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, I don't give a fuck who it is.
Andrew Schultz
You know what? I think Iran took away the excuse that the US Was going to use because during the protest. Oh, sorry. During the protest in December and January, Trump was talking like, hey, if you don't stop killing protesters, we are going to come and, like, defend them. Like, we are going to get involved. And we already started sending a lot of those. The boats. What are the military boats? We started sending them complete there. Yeah. During that time. And then Iran all of a sudden just stopped killing protesters. So it took away the excuse we were probably going to use to attack. I don't know if that's true. They killed thousands of protesters. No, no, but he said that Trump was like, no, no, no. I'm talking about. This was during. While they were killing him. Oh, it happened in December and January, and then they stopped killing protesters. I don't know if they stopped doing it because Trump said it or they stopped it because they killed enough that it thwarted the protest. That's what I think. I think the protest is still going on and people, people were requesting that America come and liberate them. Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's. Let's play this and then go to asking, idiots, man. This is. This has been about Israel's regional. This is Jeffrey Sachs, the American economist. Listen to this.
Andrew Schultz
This has never been about nuclear weapons. This has been about Israel, Israel's regional hegemony in the Middle East. Israel wants to topple the Iranian regime, period. It has said so. This is not a mystery. This is not my claim. This is Israeli policy repeated year in, year out. The whole idea that Trump is negotiating
Charlamagne Tha God
to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear
Andrew Schultz
weapon, Duh, that was negotiating. Trump ripped it up. The Iranians have come back every year to say, we don't want a nuclear weapon. We want negotiations. The United States does not accept yes for an answer because it works for the government of Israel. This is the point. Why does it work for the government of Israel? It's a little hard to understand. Maybe because it's of Mike Huckleby's parishioner, because of people who read the Bible and say, okay, that's our foreign policy. That's possible. It may be because of what's in the Epstein files that haven't been released. It may be blackmail, it may be corruption, it may be many other things. But it is not about America's interests. We have no interest whatsoever in going to a war with Iran right now. If there is such a war. It's a war war because Israel has told the United States what to do. And that raises a question. Why has the United States done what Israel has told the United States to
Charlamagne Tha God
do for 30 years?
Andrew Schultz
And I don't just mean about Iran. I mean across the Middle east,
Charlamagne Tha God
acquiring minds. Want to know, guys?
Andrew Schultz
So I said this, like, jokingly, but kind of serious. On flagrant. America should annex. Annex Israel the same way. Like, we want to take over Greenland and just take all of Venezuela's resources. Like, if they had to start paying taxes and we got.
Charlamagne Tha God
But see, I agree with Chris. I don't think you should punish the whole state of Israel because of having a madman in charge.
Andrew Schultz
But why would that be punishment?
Charlamagne Tha God
It'd be part of it. I don't even know what annex means.
Andrew Schultz
It sounds like what he wants to do to Greenland. Right. It's a punishment because it would go against what the desire for having your own nation state is. That's why they would see it as a punishment.
Chris
Well, it would also keep us literally, physically vested in, like, the most volatile place on the earth. We're doing it already, but we don't need to.
Charlamagne Tha God
And ask y' all a question.
Andrew Schultz
But that's the thing with.
Charlamagne Tha God
We're gonna do it. We would get something out of it.
Andrew Schultz
You may ask us this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Does Israel need regime change, Chris?
Chris
Oh, yeah. 100%.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Chris
Yeah. Netanu is taking them to the brink right now, and I don't know, they probably see it differently. I understand. If you lived in Israel. My cousin lives in Israel. His family lives in Israel. I'm sure they are legitimately afraid of the threat of Iran. I get all that.
Andrew Schultz
That's also reasonable for them to be afraid.
Chris
It's not unreasonable.
Charlamagne Tha God
But
Chris
even, like what Sachs was saying, like, the diplomatic attempt to solve this, this is when Trump hires or assigns unqualified people to important jobs just because they're yes men. We're seeing the results of that right now. Who are the special envoys? Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, but right now, you're bailing out Trump. Kind of. It's like.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know, but I'm just.
Andrew Schultz
He's ultimately.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think so. But my point is, these are real estate guys.
Andrew Schultz
Yes, I know, I know. I guess what I'm saying is, like, ultimately, he's the responsible party for the decision.
Chris
Oh, I'm just showing you how incompetent he is because he doesn't care about putting the best people. I'm not saying a seasoned 50 year veteran of these conversations might have landed us in a different place, but when you literally send in your real estate buddies into the most volatile place of
Andrew Schultz
the world and American lives are at stake.
Chris
With American.
Andrew Schultz
Like six Americans died, bro. Like, this is what I think we've.
Chris
Pete Hegseth.
Charlamagne Tha God
We've.
Andrew Schultz
We've.
Chris
He's a Fox News guy, man. He shouldn't be the Secretary of War. Why isn't this shit working, guys?
Andrew Schultz
I think we've. We've become desensitized to the amount of deaths in war. Right? Like we hear these staggering numbers coming out of Gaza, staggering numbers coming out of Ukraine, Russia.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's like we're thinking about the girls in Iran. What is it? 151 girls got killed.
Andrew Schultz
167 girls.
Charlamagne Tha God
67 girls. Like, we just, like, just think about that. You're done. You got daughters. We got kids. They're in school. Just think about that.
Andrew Schultz
So this is the argument that people make why you can't bomb people. People into regime change. Bombing people is going to actually unite them against the party. Bombing them. Yeah.
Chris
By the way, they're going to rally.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. Oh, by the way.
Charlamagne Tha God
For generation. Not just for the moment, for generations. Murder Inc. Versus 50 Cent, bro.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's up.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
For generations, bro.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's do some asking. Idiots. Taylor Gang. Taylor Gang. Gang. Got to get home to Lil Punch. Lil P called me this morning. Nine months old, already using the phone. Like, yo, make sure mommy get home at a reasonable time. He said before 7:30.
Andrew Schultz
So I think calm down because he's teething and the baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
He told me that. He said that this morning. Now he did. He was like, yo, I'm over here. I said, what's wrong, man? He's like, ah, I'm over here teething. I said, damn, that's crazy. You tried to put some liquor on his gums last night. He wasn't having it. Is that true?
Chris
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
What you mean? What you mean?
Andrew Schultz
So funny how much you just tuned you out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hold on. All right. Asking idiots, man. Brian underscore Rolia710 Best stereotype that you believe or can prove that is real on any race. Oh, man, it's so many. I always say it's not a stereotype if it's true. I actually don't go out of my way to look for stereotypes, but when I see them, I understand, you know what I mean? I told y' all the other Day I was, I went off the. I was going down the. I got off the highway. I was going down the one way. You know, you know you get off the highway and it's like the yield sign and so you're going off the one way. There was a car coming the other direction. I had to like slow down a little bit and the car was going the other direction and then the car backed up in the middle of the median to drive back out on the road.
Andrew Schultz
Woman.
Charlamagne Tha God
What else?
Andrew Schultz
Asian.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not a stereotype if it's true. That's literally what I think in my mind. I think that I thought in my mind as soon as I saw it, I said, it's not a stereotype if it's true. Yo.
Andrew Schultz
Damn, Chris. Well, so now what you gonna do now? Chris? Getting it today. I'm just telling you.
Charlamagne Tha God
I told y' all the story already.
Chris
Anybody, Anybody here been to Asia?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, No, I never been Asia.
Chris
Where you been in Asia?
Andrew Schultz
I've been to Singapore. I've been to Malaysia.
Chris
I've been in Singapore. The driving is impeccable, but it's self driving cars.
Charlamagne Tha God
Aren't the cars driving themselves?
Andrew Schultz
No, it's the. I don't know. I kind of think Asians are like pluribus. Like they communicate. This is so stupid. All on one brain. So like when they're just with each other, they drive perfectly.
Chris
Kind of what I was going for.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh.
Chris
So yeah, it's like brings out bad driving.
Andrew Schultz
Yes.
Chris
When you're in your home country and there's a understood set of rules and everyone's on the same page.
Andrew Schultz
The driving is when you're in the Middle East. It's insane. The driving like you or even now you go to when I was in Africa, Egypt. Insane. Insane. The driving. They don't even like abide by the street lanes.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's.
Andrew Schultz
Everybody's honking, whatever, but it's this beautiful chaos and it kind of works.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, right.
Andrew Schultz
Maybe that's what makes them the best drivers. That's why they come here. And it's Uber. Right. So maybe they get the experience. That's like the Division 1 sec school that you're going to learn how to be a football player.
Charlamagne Tha God
Colonization is another stereotype.
Andrew Schultz
What's that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Colonization.
Andrew Schultz
Like white people. Yeah, that we like to do that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schultz
Why?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, it's been going down the last couple of years.
Andrew Schultz
White people colonizing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah. Yes, sir.
Andrew Schultz
I feel like it's more non white people moving into America.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about going to take up.
Chris
Right.
Andrew Schultz
Like, isn't it. Isn't it? If you go on the Internet, people kind of think we're being colonized.
Chris
Every culture colonizes.
Andrew Schultz
Yeah, yeah. But unless you broke and whack. What? I'm just saying, like, if you. If you're. If you're. Your history, if your culture hadn't colonized at all at any point in time, you were just bums or good people. Nah, ain't no good. Ain't no good people.
Charlamagne Tha God
Out of here.
Andrew Schultz
Out of here. Ain't no good.
Chris
Absolutely. You went through a list. There's, from what I can tell, unscientifically, only one group of people who've never colonized another group of people.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, who's that? Chris? This is good.
Chris
I would call them Eskimos. I think there's another name you're supposed to use now. I don't know. No, I'm serious.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cold people.
Chris
And I think it's environmental.
Andrew Schultz
Like, you got to keep it real
Chris
simple when you're living in the order, you don't have the ability of time. Everybody else is a colonizer. Eskimos, they're not guilty.
Charlamagne Tha God
I've never met an Eskimo. Yo. Neither of you. Neither have you.
Andrew Schultz
I met Eskimo.
Charlamagne Tha God
Get the out of here. Where at?
Andrew Schultz
I was in Alaska.
Charlamagne Tha God
Really?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
How are they?
Andrew Schultz
It's all Mexican. Really?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. I don't know why I thought they were short. N. Do they really do the Eskimo kiss?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Really?
Andrew Schultz
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris
You guys are Inuit. That's the word.
Andrew Schultz
Inuit. Inuit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why you calling them that, bro? You did not have to call him the nword, Chris. That's crazy. See?
Andrew Schultz
Stereotype true.
Charlamagne Tha God
Using the N word. Say Quay. Mercore. What's something you did that was ridiculous, but it bought you a lot of joy, this podcast. Yeah. Every week we risk it all 100%. I mean, we've been risking it all every week for 13 years.
Andrew Schultz
Isn't that crazy?
Charlamagne Tha God
But it brings so much joy.
Andrew Schultz
But isn't that crazy? For 13 years, we come here, we just. We say, that is way too wild for how known we are and how much we have to lose.
Charlamagne Tha God
And forget we record it, forget we on video. It's too much.
Andrew Schultz
Why do we do this to ourselves? It's awesome, but we are. It's like.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's too much, guys. Yeah, it's too much. This. It's actually ridiculous. But it brings so much joy. My week don't go the same. I know I gotta come in here. Just. That's it. Let me just dump. Let me just put the dump. I just want to dump. Let me put it out there, guys. Get it out.
Andrew Schultz
You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
And we're still on YouTube, so you can leave comments and talk, you know what I mean? We're the ones that should actually go to Netflix, you know what I'm saying? We should actually go to Netflix so y' all can shut the fuck up. Okay.
Andrew Schultz
Kind of.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right? We're not going to do that. We go. That's part of it. That's also what makes it ridiculous. We come here every week, risk it all, and then let these people have an opinion. Opinion on it.
Andrew Schultz
We doing too much. Oh, how much are we doing too much? How much are we doing?
Charlamagne Tha God
Too much, too much, too much, too much.
Andrew Schultz
It's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Major Catri says, what is something or someone you have seen that does not get enough credit? Oh, so many. I mean, what do you. Where do you begin? Like, you got to give me industry. You got to break it down. Like, man, there's a lot of people I think don't get enough credit.
Chris
The.
Charlamagne Tha God
One of the most recent, I think Reverend Jesse Jackson is a person who didn't get enough credit. I think that people had a perception, especially a lot of black people had a perception of him that I don't. I don't think was true or fair. And, you know, that's why I've liked a lot of the. The audio that has come out from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, where he. He's just basically telling you, watch your mouth about Jesse Jackson. You know what I'm saying? And, like, you know, they had their differences, but they were brothers. But he's like, yo, watch your mouth about Jesse Jackson, because you simply have not done as much as him when it comes to the advancement of black people. Like, watch your fuck. And he literally. He's literally like. I mean, of course he don't say, watch your fucking mouth, but that's what he's essentially saying, watch your mouth. So I think he's somebody that doesn't get enough credit. Another person that I don't think get enough credit. Credit. Told y' all last week. Sheik Luch. God damn it.
Andrew Schultz
Yo, shout out Sheik, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Sheik Luch don't get enough credit.
Andrew Schultz
Give him his flowers.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sheik. Sheik Luch has had some of the most classic verses on some of the most classic records.
Andrew Schultz
I was hating. I was hating.
Charlamagne Tha God
Big hating.
Andrew Schultz
I was hating Big hating.
Charlamagne Tha God
And, man, man, I'll stand on this. You can go back and listen to some of them old locks freestyle, you know, like, you'll see with the locks and Biggie, go listen to the locks over Cream. Yo, Sheik was smoking shit. Smoking shit, bro. So shout out to Sheik. What about you? What's something of someone you have seen that does not get enough credit?
Andrew Schultz
Those hookers that handled Stephen Hawking on Epstein's Island.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't believe that. I don't believe that somebody saw many pictures. I don't believe that there's pick. I don't believe those pictures are real. The were they doing to Stephen Hawkins.
Andrew Schultz
You believe all those conspiracies, but. But you don't believe that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nah, nah, bro. Nah, cuz. There's too many questions that need to be answered, bro.
Chris
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did Stephen. Did ste. He's alive, right?
Andrew Schultz

Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, he died. Does his. Did his dick work?

Hosts: Charlamagne Tha God & Andrew Schultz
Date: March 6, 2026
This episode, titled "As The World CERNS," features Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schultz diving deep into a signature stew of the brilliant, the idiotic, and the hysterical. The duo explores conspiracies (both classic and current), the latest in the Jeffrey Epstein files, the deposition of Bill Clinton, complex theories about time travel and CERN, societal trauma, race and beauty standards, shifting global politics, the nature of elite power, and the ever-controversial state of podcasting and media platforms. High-energy banter, off-the-cuff jokes, and occasionally raw honesty fuel this sprawling conversation.
[01:53 – 06:45]
Charlamagne: "Everything's on the table, bro. After what we've seen the last couple of years..." (06:10)
[06:46 – 09:50]
"Whales are like the Charles Barkley of the sea. They're the Zion Williamson of the ocean." (07:36)
[10:10 – 12:54]
[13:10 – 18:10]
"When you got a theory about where another man's dick goes, that's crazy." (17:00)
[18:27 – 24:41]
"If your dad got raped by a guy, you might be thinking that can happen to you..." (24:34)
[32:40 – 42:00]
"There's one big club and we ain't in it, bro." (40:46)
[44:05 – 47:13]
[74:00 – 83:05]
"The more people that are competing for you, the higher your price goes..." (77:37)
[59:36 – 64:45]
"It's some type of ritual going on, bro...They're using these young underage kids for some type of energy source..." (64:26)
[65:32 – 67:53]
[85:56 – 101:38]
[117:52 – 124:10]
"Every week we risk it all 100%...But it brings so much joy." (122:36)
Unfiltered, irreverent, rapid-fire, and at times unexpectedly earnest. Charlamagne and Andrew switch rapidly from wild speculation and comic absurdity to sobering cultural critique and self-aware candor.
This episode of The Brilliant Idiots weaves together wild conspiracy theories, sharp social commentary, deeply personal reflection, and classic podcast banter. The hosts, ever skeptical but always game, embrace the tension between the world’s genuine horrors and the absurd tales people create to explain them. Their discussion moves fluidly from QAnon-level speculation to the realpolitik of US foreign policy, from time travel to trauma, and from streaming economics to the meaning of joy in risky comedy. If you want an episode that both pokes holes in societal narratives and fuses intellect with idiocy, "As The World CERNS" is peak Brilliant Idiots.
