Cold War

Summary

The Brilliant Idiots – “Cold War”

Hosts: Charlamagne Tha God & Andrew Schulz
Date: November 7, 2025

Episode Overview

In "Cold War," Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz react to the recent New York mayoral election, dissecting Zoran Mamdani's grassroots win and its national implications. With their trademark irreverence and biting humor, the duo analyzes campaign strategies, Democratic Party inertia, the role of identity and class, plus the looming specter of Trump’s federal power. The conversation spins into matters of policing, anti-Semitism, political rhetoric, and plenty of hilarious tangents about wet dreams, ghost sex, and the real meaning of “jizya”.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. New York Mayoral Election & Zoran Mamdani’s Win

• Notable trend: A “basics” campaign focused on affordability, social media savvy, and youth engagement propelled a progressive outsider to victory in a city dominated by establishment Democrats.
• Campaign analysis:
  • “The best campaign should always win. He ran a great campaign in a very weak field.” (Charlamagne, 03:31)
  • Mamdani’s messaging mimicked Donald Trump’s “America First”—calling his platform “New York First,” focused on cost-of-living crises and public safety.
• Electoral shifts: Hosts highlight that despite Mamdani polling at 1% in February, the Israel-Gaza conflict and his focus on local needs shifted the race dramatically.

2. Media & Political Platform Access

• On access and campaign decisions:
  • Multiple candidates avoided major platforms like Flagrant and Breakfast Club, leading to speculation about campaign mismanagement or fear of real accountability.
  • "If you were actually trying to win, would you not come on the biggest pod in the—" (Andrew, 06:00)
• Flagrant perceptions: Guests argue that simply being visible and relatable on popular shows is more impactful than combative or staged conflict interviews.

3. Critique of the Democratic Party

• Basics over revolution:
  • Critics joke that Democrats are heralding basic campaign strategies as revolutionary due to years of out-of-touch candidates.
  • “Democrats, y'all are so out of touch...the basics work.” (Charlamagne, 12:09)
• Party inertia: Warning against recycling older establishment figures instead of youth-oriented, issue-based campaigns.

4. Trump, Federal Power & Strategy Against Progressives

• On Trump's potential reaction:
  • Both hosts argue that the smartest move Trump could make is to let Mamdani govern without federal interference.
  • “The smartest thing Trump could do is get out the way and let Mondani try to do his job.” (Charlamagne, 19:55)
• Boogeyman theory: If NYC fails under Mamdani, Trump can claim it as proof against leftist governance; if Mamdani succeeds, Trump can try to claim credit for non-interference.
• Federal overreach and fascism: Charlamagne voices concern over the erosion of checks and balances under a Trump administration.

5. The Role of Identity & Messaging

• Identity politics vs. economic focus:
  • Mamdani’s win is credited to focusing on money—affordability, child care, housing—rather than divisive identity issues.
  • “He didn't talk about identity politics…he talked about money.” (Dolly, 24:20)
  • Yet as a Muslim and person of color, his identity remains inescapable in campaign coverage.
• Victory speech praised: Mamdani’s shout-outs to NY’s diversity—“Yemeni bodega owners…Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers…” (Andrew quoting speech, 24:42)—is held up as unifying, not divisive.

6. Policing, Public Safety & Community Relations

• NYPD relations:
  • Discuss the necessity for Mamdani to quickly demonstrate support for the police to avoid a repeat of de Blasio’s chilly relations and the potential withdrawal of police engagement.
  • “I've been here since 2006. When the NYPD don't give a fuck about you, they don't give a fuck about you.” (Charlamagne, 27:24)
• Community-police collaboration: Proposed task forces for mental health and homelessness, shifting some duties off police officers’ shoulders.

7. Anti-Semitism, Israel-Gaza Debate & Accusations

• Nuanced discussion:
  • The show confronts how criticism of Israel’s government conflates quickly with anti-Semitism, urging for clearer, issue-based debates.
  • “I think it's unfair to call people like Mandani anti-Israel because they're not...they're anti the current Israeli government.” (Charlamagne, 45:55)
• Fringe rhetoric and silencing effect: Andrew warns that labeling all criticism as hate cedes discourse to the extremes and silences the reasonable middle.
  • “If you're critical of what a government's doing and somebody labels you an anti-Semite…it makes a lot of people just get quiet.” (Andrew, 76:00)
• Conspiracy refutation: They stress that if anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power were true, Mamdani would not be mayor.

8. The Progressive Agenda & National Impact

• Potential limits: The hosts caution that progressive victories like Mamdani’s may not translate well to less-urban, more conservative regions, even though economic populism (affordability) is broadly resonant.
• National lessons:
  • “When people are struggling…they see the government sending billions of dollars overseas…People in America start to go, how are you not taking care of us?” (Andrew, 44:16)

9. Tangents, Humor & Vulnerability

• Ghost sex & nocturnal emissions: Extended joke on wet dreams, ghost blowjobs (“poltergeist gave you some head, bro”—Charlamagne, 87:01), as the gang riffs in classic Idiots style.
• Male masturbation vs. female masturbation: Lighthearted debate about why male masturbation is considered gross but female masturbation is seen as sexy.
• Leadership, values, and family: The episode closes with the hosts acknowledging they don’t see themselves as “leaders” but as servants to their audience and crediting their parents for their values.

Tone & Dynamic

The conversation is fast, sharp, joke-driven, and at times deeply insightful. Charlamagne and Schulz operate with a mix of critical analysis, self-deprecating humor, and earnest engagement with the city’s political and cultural realities. Banter veers from politics to pop culture to personal foibles—never shying from controversial topics or impropriety, but always circling back to the show’s unique intersection of idiocy and brilliance.

For New Listeners

“Cold War” is a classic Idiots’ episode: you’ll laugh, squirm, and likely come away with a smarter (if more jaded) look at New York City’s political moment and how it reflects the national mood. Whether discussing flagrant hypocrisy, the power of the basics, or why both sides keep missing the point, the episode delivers equal parts substance and spicy nonsense.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you vote yesterday? I don't vote in New York. I vote in Jersey. Did you vote yesterday?

[Andrew Schultz]

I voted in Jersey too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut the up.

[Andrew Schultz]

I voted in Jersey, man. Shout out to my boy Citarellas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you vote for an Andrew?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I didn't vote. I didn't vote.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You lied to me too. You told me New Yorkers don't vote. New Yorkers voted the fuck out of this yesterday.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not the New Yorkers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shit, like 2 million people voted yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

But now it's the people that moved here. We need to start defining what is a New Yorker. That's another thing. Like a New Yorker is you're born and raised in New York. That's the only Way you could be a New Yorker. If you move to New York, you're not a New Yorker. And if you're a New Yorker and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You move, are you letting out of towners decide your elections? Yeah, we know what the fuck is happening.

[Andrew Schultz]

Isn't that what the Democrats been doing for the last.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all took the Democrats, let everybody in. It was like, you know what? They got the Mexicans, let's get the Muslims. Yes. Oh, my God.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it's more Muslims. Hilarious. Wild. Why is it, huh?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Muslim, Muslim.

[Andrew Schultz]

If you start milking them, you call them Muslim.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Muslim.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, hey, shout out the caliphate, bro. It's expanding. They doing their goddamn thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's not going to work. You're not picking up where you left off with. It's not going to work. What do you mean not going to work? Why is Alex dressed like a communist and you're not saying anything about it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Not because. That's my comrad.

[Chris Moreau]

Shout out to the people, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, well, ICE know who to pick up, ok?

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come January, ICE don't know who to pick up.

[Andrew Schultz]

ICE is ready, bro. Ice is ready. But you know what? They're not welcome in this city.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They not. Nope, they not. What city are they welcome in? I don't think they give a fuck about welcome. Welcome in this city. I don't think they give a fuck about welcoming. Ok, listen, congratulations to Zoran Mandani.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The best campaign should always win. He ran a great campaign in a very weak field. We got to call it like it is, yo. Come on. It was a very weak field, Curtis.

[Andrew Schultz]

Se is generational talent was in that field. You had a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A rapist.

[Andrew Schultz]

You had not a rapist. What did he do? Italian. You had an Italian guy. You had.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like se, though. SLE was like Seawell. Can I give you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can I give you a hot take on Sl? Because I love Slee.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk to me. Talk to me.

[Andrew Schultz]

You connected us with Sliwa's guy. Okay? This is all like, allegedly or whatever. So y' all don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, that's not allegedly. He said, fuck doing flagrant. Cause y' all endorse Mandani.

[Andrew Schultz]

We did not endorse Mumdani at all. We did not endorse. First of all, we never endorse a candidate ever. Once. We just give you the platform to come on. Because my idea was to have all them on the same episode. I want to put them on the same episode anyway. Sliwa. Sliwa guy just kept ducking, and I'm reaching Out. We're the biggest platform, like, on podcasts, like, not, you know, shot by the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mob, bro, you're not ducking a podcast.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is. This is. And again, this is all allegedly. Okay. I'm wondering if it never got to Curtis, and I'm wondering if his campaign manager is getting paid off because he's like, hey, don't put him on some heat right now. You can. You can save face by continuing to campaign and pretend to, but don't put them on some platforms that actually make a difference. On Cuomo, we know you're not going to back out, but we're going to kick you a little bread and just say no to a bunch of interviews, tell them it's not worth it, and you're going to ride the momentum, blah, blah, blah. Because why on earth, if you were actually trying to win, would you not come on the biggest pod in the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I did think.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why would you not do that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did think it was weird when wouldn't even answer.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, and he reads the text. It says, red, I'm calling, but you're ducking it. So either he's. Either Curtis doesn't want to win, or this guy is not even telling him about the opportunities, because either he doesn't want him to win or he's getting paid off. Guys are all ledgerlies, whatever the fuck that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The way he ended up on Breakfast Club was he was downstairs eating. Like, Curtis was actually downstairs eating. And somebody goes, yo, isn't Breakfast Club here? And secure the security. One of our security guards was downstairs and was like, you know, yeah, I might know a guy. You know, he's. I might know a guy. And so then that's how they connected with him. And he was like, would y' all like to have Curtis on it? I'm like, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why on earth would you not want to come on one of the biggest platforms in the country, Definitely in the city? Why would you not want to do that if you're trying to win mayor of New York City? Why would you not even read. Why would you read the text message, not even respond?

[Chris Moreau]

It's suspicious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm going to read the message. It says, oh, no, actually, they had called me. I'm bugging. They had called me and said that. But that's what they said. They just was like, to me, that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sounds like an excuse.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They said he was glazing Mandani. Yeah, that's what they said. They said he endorsed Mondani. Well, they said the black guy was glazing Mandani, but Everybody else endorsed Mondani.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nobody endorsed Mondani. Anybody who. This is really the problem with flagrant is that whoever comes on looks amazing. Like that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They look like they're having a good time.

[Andrew Schultz]

They look amazing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think that's what people don't realize about a show like flagrant. It's just a good hang. It is that we literally, and we live in an era where people think it has to be conflict in order for it to be good. When the reality is a good hang. Just sitting down, talking to a conversation, sometimes it's better. It's always better. I learned that a long time ago. Yes, you can get the confrontation and you know, everybody will tune in for the view. It's actually better when you sit down with somebody and have a conversation. Look at it like an interrogation. If I'm talking to you in an interrogation, I gotta get some answers.

[Andrew Schultz]

Gotta get some answers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good interrogation.

[Andrew Schultz]

You gotta get em a little.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Wendy, get some food.

[Andrew Schultz]

There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Therapy, like, yo, that's how you get something out of the book. So, you know, I mean, Cuomo did that. Cuomo rescheduled Breakfast Club four times. It never came.

[Andrew Schultz]

So that's the other thing. We offered Cuomo to come in the same day, but we hit him back like the day before. And then he was like, I'm doing debate prep. And I'm like, all right, that's your choice. You're doing prep. But the offer was out to everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He rescheduled with us four times. I mean, even up until this month. Monday. This past Monday.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I'm like, now they did reach.

[Andrew Schultz]

Out to come back on, and it wasn't available for us, but like, and I understand you want to prep for the debate. That's your prerogative, whatever. But that is a choice that you're going to make.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, Zoron pulled up. Same day Zo Zoron pulled up. Zoron pulled up the Breakfast Club.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now we're Muslim.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Flagrant.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now we're Muslim.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Curtis pulled up the Breakfast Club.

[Andrew Schultz]

You got to start paying your jizya, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, ho, ho. We forgetting one other Eric. Adam. Oh, Eric Adams pulled up the Breakfast Club. He pulled up the flagrant. Every candidate except for Cuomo pulled up. You know what I mean? Curtis didn't pull up the flagrant.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't be President of America or mayor of New York City without coming to flagrant of the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Especially in New York.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm just saying we the number.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're the number one morning show in New York City. I'm not saying this because it's a feeling. I'm saying this because it's facts. Statistical ratings.

[Andrew Schultz]

Facts. They're feelings and then they're facts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You want to hear the numbers? I tell you the numbers.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't tell me the numbers.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hold on. You want to hear.

[Andrew Schultz]

I want to know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hold on. This just came out yesterday. I want that. Just hold on.

[Andrew Schultz]

What is that called? Jizya. Right? I want that. Jizya. I might want it from you, too, unless you're reverting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What the fuck?

[Andrew Schultz]

You all gotta pay tax if you're not Muslim.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You gotta pay tax today.

[Chris Moreau]

He did get you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, nah.

[Dolly Bishop]

He said what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. He almost got me, but that's a real thing. Got a text that said, clean. Sweet. Congratulations. Breakfast Club being number one 18 to 49, number one 2554, and number one 1834 in the month of October. So it's like, yo, how dare you, Cuomo? You should have been there. You know what I'm.

[Andrew Schultz]

I try to tell these politicians, bro. I told the Asian guy who wanted to give everybody $1,000, if you want to be mayor, you got to come on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Andrew Yang. Yang gang. Salute to Noble Mobile. Oh, that shit is real. The tax on non Muslims is called Jizya.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. With tax and all y'. All. It was historically, you're getting taxed. You wear the. What's a guy on your neck so you don't gotta get taxed. You got the Honorable Elijah Muhammad on bouncing off your chest every day, so you don't gotta pay tax for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But salute to the Chris, Minister Lewis Farrakhan.

[Andrew Schultz]

Chris getting double text.

[Dolly Bishop]

It says elderly and sick are exempt.

[Andrew Schultz]

You not sick, you sick. We don't believe in lyme disease in Islam, my boy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, somebody said the funniest shit last week. They was like, Chris acting like he going to intervene with ice. So they pull up on scooters. They were like, ice, pull up on scooters. Chris getting the fuck out of there.

[Andrew Schultz]

In the cherry red 150.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was historically levied on non Muslim subjects living in a state governed by Islamic law in exchange for protection and exemption from military service.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. You pay some tax, you don't gotta bang out for war. You get protected. And Muslims, I think they gotta pay like 10%.

[Chris Moreau]

That's just the mob.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where'd you walk?

[Andrew Schultz]

But, like, Muslims gotta pay more and they gotta go to war.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jizya sounds crazy. Jizya is just nutting on you like Jizya.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm a Jizya Damn, I'm a jizya.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Where'd you watch the election.

[Andrew Schultz]

From? Zoron's crib.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Were you in a club?

[Andrew Schultz]

I was in Zoron's crib.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want the record to show y' all gave Eric Adams shit for being in the club. Zaron got one mixy night, and y' all glazed. Y' all was glazing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Who glazed him? No, no, no, no. Every.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That. Almost every.

[Chris Moreau]

Adams went to the club too much.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why you connecting with the people, yo, you can't.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't need to connect them. You can't go to zero. You can't go to zero.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can we admit our biases with people we like? Talk your shit. No, no, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

Talk your shit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can we just admit it?

[Chris Moreau]

Wait a minute.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What we, like, if Kamala Harris would have been in the club, like Zoron the day before an election, y' all would have been killing her.

[Andrew Schultz]

Killing her?

[Dolly Bishop]

Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, you would have. Come on.

[Andrew Schultz]

You would have been killing her. You would have been killing her, you communist.

[Chris Moreau]

The place that he went to, it's where the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He went to, like, eight different clubs.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah, but, like, the clubs he went to are popping spots, so it's like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He went to those popping spots. You think Eric Adams didn't go to the popping spots?

[Chris Moreau]

He went to the positive spots.

[Andrew Schultz]

Too much? No, no, no. That was the problem.

[Chris Moreau]

He was out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If Kamala would have went to the club the day before the election, y' all would have killed her.

[Andrew Schultz]

You would have killed her.

[Chris Moreau]

If she went on flagrant. If she went on flagrant, then she would have been good.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see how the cream is crazy?

[Andrew Schultz]

It is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is Krispy Kreme.

[Andrew Schultz]

You are Krispy Kreme in them. Dude, it's. Can't you just listen? Just. Just fall back for a second and just be an honorable man of God in Islam and communism. Just be an honorable man of God. Islamic communism. We're New Yorkers. You're still a New Yorker.

[Chris Moreau]

I am.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're still a New Yorker. I will say I think Zoran ran a great campaign. Great campaign.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is hilarious to me. And I said this on CNN last night. Democrats, comrade.

[Chris Moreau]

You saw that? You almost said comrade.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. Democrats are acting like this. Such a revolutionary campaign. And, oh, my God, he's the future. Because he talked about affordability, which Bill Clinton did in the 90s. Because he used social media and because he galvanized the youth. The basics. Democrats, y' all are so out of touch that. The basics. Yes, The Basics work, y'.

[Andrew Schultz]

All.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The basics work.

[Andrew Schultz]

Charlamagne. Hold on. You need to be careful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The basics work don't run 70 plus year old candidates who don't know what social media is.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on, hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Galvanize the youth. They'll know how to use social media and talk about people's dinner table needs. It's not hard.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're making me a little bit nervous here because you're criticizing the Democrat Party. And probably two years from now, people will say the exact fucking same thing that you're saying right now on this podcast. And they'll call them heroes for doing it, but they're going to call you a monster right now. So you just got to realize that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you say it first, you're the first one on the beach against Republicans.

[Andrew Schultz]

You got balance.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You all calling Mandani a socialist and a communist when he ran the same type of campaign Trump ran, okay? It was spread America first with New York City first.

[Andrew Schultz]

Spread that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was about affordability. Spread that. I keep money in y' all pockets and I'm gonna keep y' all safe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Spit on it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, Call Trump a communist. Spit on socialist.

[Andrew Schultz]

Spit on it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Spit on it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Spread it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why are you calling Mondani a communist socialist when he does it? Hey, noble concept here, guys. Wow. Just talk about what people are going through.

[Andrew Schultz]

Listen, you were on fire right there. I just had to open the pussy and spin on it just so that Fox News didn't use it as a clip. So every, every time, every time you spin hot fire, I'm just gonna act crazy. I'm gonna bust it open glazed up so that they can't use it as a clip. Cause we got too much common sense on this side.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What if Zon Ron would have came out with the Macca hat yesterday?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, make America communist again.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Go.

[Andrew Schultz]

We was never communist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It don't matter. We were never. But who gives a fuck?

[Andrew Schultz]

What do you mean we were never great? What do you mean we were never.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We weren't great for everybody. We trying to get there and it's okay. Oh, boohoo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, boohoo. You make a country. You make a country. You gonna make it perfect immediately or is it gonna take a little bit? You know what I mean? Go make your own country.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bron Mandani is your new mayor. All he did was run on the basics. Bro, bro. And stop complicating shit.

[Andrew Schultz]

Let's just call it what it is. If you're the mayor of New York, you're the mayor of America. No other place really has a mayor that matters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I'm gonna tell you who's the mayor of Jersey.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're the mayor of Philadelphia. You're the mayor of everywhere else.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can these places. You can be a mayor of the town. But I'm gonna tell you something.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know who's about to take that talking point, as you just said, and run with it? Who? Donald J. Trump.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're welcome.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. Ron is public enemy number one for the next year.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think Trump should glaze him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

That's that. If you want to subvert the whole shit, glaze him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't fight against him like Trump. Like, that's why I like the people again. This is. By the way, once again, this is something that Berry Ninjas has been saying for a long time, that Mandani has been running like Trump. Right, Right. But. And we said it since when he. Remember what was the debate when they asked him about Israel, and he was like, no, New York. And I'm like, that's Trump messaging America first. That shit works.

[Andrew Schultz]

Would you visit Israel as mayor? I've said in a UJA questionnaire that I believe that you need not travel to Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers. And that is what I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers, and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform. Because ultimately, we need to focus on delivering on their concerns. And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel? I believe Israel has the right to exist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You do that along with the affordability, you start to rile people the fuck up.

[Andrew Schultz]

We talking, and I forgot my point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So it don't even matter. I remember what the fuck I was trying to say. I'll pick it back up.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, why? It was. I was saying Trump should glaze him. Trump, yeah, go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The reason that won't work is because then Trump will have to admit that he got some socialist tendencies.

[Andrew Schultz]

But keep going.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, that's it. Like, you would have to admit. Cause yes, it is. Affordability. America first. That's what Trump ran on. Your groceries are too motherfucking high. I'm gonna put more money in your pocket. Why are you having to pay so much for this? Why are you having to pay so much for that? That shit? He's not gonna say yes when Donnie took my playbook. Cause then it's like, so are you.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I'M saying he don't gotta say it, but like, I think, think Trump has. I think the misunderstanding about Trump is that he is. What is it? Socially conservative and then fiscally liberal. A lot of times people think it's the opposite. Right? People. What do they say about Republicans? They are, I guess, socially conservative and fiscally conservative.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right.

[Dolly Bishop]

Fiscally liberal would be big government. He's not big government.

[Andrew Schultz]

He is in terms of subsidies, Trump checks. Exactly. He's giving out the Trump check. He is in terms of, oh, yeah, you know what? IVF, drugs, we're gonna do 85% off. He is in terms of, like, taking care of farmers or whatever it is. He is totally about government being expanded. I mean, he's expanding government for ice, Right? He's expanding government. So it's like, he's not necessarily against it. There are those same tenses, tendencies, because he understands he has to take care of the base. Right? But maybe. So Maybe that's what Donnie did. It would explode.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo. Madani leaned into his base in a way that we didn't think. I think progressives on the left could. But I do wanna say one thing. I think that everybody is celebrating a little bit. Just too much.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can I. Before we go there, can I just say one thing? I would. The reason why I would allow it if I was Trump, right? Everybody's going like, new York is gonna be a hellhole. It's gonna fall apart. It's this. Whatever. If I'm Trump, I wouldn't give Mamdani an excuse as to why it's not working. If you're so confident that it won't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Work, no government outreach.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm with you overreach.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, don't remove funds. Be like, all right, man, if you believe you got it, I. Let's see. And then if it doesn't, then he goes, will you admit that it didn't work, or will your ego get ahead of you? Because I asked him that on the pod. I was like, if you're. If your programs are not working and the people in New York are being hurt, will your ego be involved or will you be able to change it? He said, I'll change.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So that's what I'll do. Right? But if you pull the funds, you know, he can. Mamdani. But here's the thing. If you pull the funds, Madani actually doesn't have to do shit. He just goes, oh, they took away.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All of our funds. That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then he'll get reelection.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The smartest thing Trump could do is no government open.

[Andrew Schultz]

No government open.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because you know who Madonna's biggest hurdle is going to be? Albany. So let him and Albany fight it out all the time. Let him and Governor Kathy Hochul fight it out all the time. You stay the fuck out of it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Because here's the thing. He got to play nice with Albany. If Trump does the overreach, he has a boogeyman that he could play to his people to pacify his people for things not getting done.

[Dolly Bishop]

Wait for.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait for it. But if Trump doesn't do anything in terms of stopping, he'll have no boogeyman and he'll have to make Albany the boogeyman. But if he wants to get anything done, he can't boogeyman Albany. So now he's kind of in this frozen situation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The only way Trump's boogeyman tactic works is if he lets Mandani govern and things don't work. If things don't work now, you can say, this is what they want to turn America to. They want to turn America to a socialist, communist country. Look what they've done to New York. New York is a shithole now. Blah, blah, blah, this and that. The smartest thing he could do is get out the way and let Mondani try to do his job.

[Chris Moreau]

I think that's too big a risk, because what happens if he gets out the way and then Mundani gets stuff passed and it actually helps out and makes the city better?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hey, it don't matter.

[Chris Moreau]

That's the worst.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know why it don't matter? Because you can't vote out authoritarian rule. You can't vote out fascism. That's the other thing that's bugging me out. We're saying that he's a fascist. We're saying he's an authoritarian, but we're acting like he's just going to concede power in 2026.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like he's just going to concede power.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Chris Moreau]

But, I mean, but like, say if Wandani does a good job, then Democrats are probably going to get behind his style of leading, and then Republicans are.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Going to do something else to start flipping elections. He's already having that conversation.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, okay, okay. Now, okay, now we're getting into a whole other thing. What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? Podcasting?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm down to do it. I just. To Alex's point, what. But what Alex is worried about is that if Mamdani's policies work, it would potentially make Trump look bad. Like, meaning, like. But my feeling is if his policies work, meaning the people of New York are living better lives. They have more opportunity, they have more food on their plates. They have a better chance to make it in the city. That's awesome. And if New York is better because of it, Trump gets to go. I didn't get in the way at all. I love that city. And if that's the thing that helps New York, then that's great. And you know what? We also have had these programs that are helping people over here. So he's not doing something novel. We're also leaning into helping. He's New York first. We're America first. He can own what Mamdani's doing in terms of the movement.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

By the way, talk about Trump, by the way, what Mandani is doing, he.

[Chris Moreau]

Has too much ego.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We have to also say there's a lot of what Mandani is doing that is very unique to New York City. The thing that's not unique to New York City is just the affordability aspect. That shit will work anywhere. But a lot of other things that he's talking about, a lot of other things he's leaning into are very unique to a city like New York.

[Dolly Bishop]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Most of the country isn't super progressive left like a Mondani is, bro. Yeah. I don't think that shit works down South. I don't think that shit works in the Midwest.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah, but even like you said, the affordability everybody could take, gotta lean into that. But. But if things are bad, you blame who's in office right now. And so Republicans can't run on improving affordability if the guy who's in office is making shit work.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're right. But can I tell y' all one thing? No. I just want to say this, man. It don't matter how unpopular Donald Trump is. Right. It don't matter if the things Donald Trump does does not work. Donald Trump is in the White House now. We talk about Trump as if he's campaigning. He's in the White House now with control of every branch of government. Yesterday, this is just my personal opinion. The election we saw this week, it is going to make them use every bit of power that they have now to get rid of every check and balance that's left.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why? These are all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what authoritarian regime.

[Andrew Schultz]

They were all Democratic states. They were going to go this way anyway. There's no, like, shocks in these elections.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. I don't think so. I personally don't think so. But I think it's the margins. That's how I felt when I first started. I'm like, these are all Democratic states. It should have went that way. But when you look at the margins, how wide it was like, we're looking at like the mayor race and the governor race. They flipped 13 state legislate. The House of Representatives flipped 13 state legislative seats in Virginia. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's the type of stuff I'm sure they're looking at. And they're like, let's speed up whatever we was going to do any motherfucking way, because they already going down the path of fucking rigging the elections. Why do you think they voted on the Prop 50 shit in California? To combat the redistricting they did in Texas. I just think that the party that has the most power probably still has the upper hand. So everybody just look alive. That's all I'm telling you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Don't celebrate too soon. I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, am I bugging Chris?

[Dolly Bishop]

No, I'm not celebrating. I mean, I'm happy with the results. I voted for him. I mean, I think I was thinking from a strategic standpoint. It's interesting. I mean, he's a far left candidate. What thing didn't he talk about during the campaign?

[Andrew Schultz]

Trans.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah. He didn't talk about identity politics. Well, I will say that I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of in his speech, but he is. No, he is identity politics. He's a Muslim.

[Dolly Bishop]

But he doesn't have to talk about.

[Andrew Schultz]

He talk about trans. He didn't talk about gays.

[Dolly Bishop]

He talked about money.

[Andrew Schultz]

He talked about money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He talked about money. But that's why I loved his victory speech, though. His victory speech. He wrapped all that shit up in a bowl. He was like, I want to work with the police. He was like, shout out to the trans community. Black women, Jewish people, Muslims. Like, he wrapped it all up in a bowl. The poor, he was like, you know, the women that can't afford. The people that can't afford groceries. He wrapped it up in a boat.

[Andrew Schultz]

I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was like. When Van Jones was saying he thought it was divisive, I'm like, why? Because he decided to shout out all New Yorkers and say, I'm going to be a mayor for all of y'. All. I'm like, is it divisive? Because he called out the billionaires and the oligarchs. And what he thinks is an authoritarian regime. Van.

[Andrew Schultz]

Van took $100 million, bro. He got. You know, you don't get to decide what he says no more. He gets his talking points from daddy, you know, who gave you 100 million.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what Van thinks.

[Dolly Bishop]

That's the playbook, though.

[Andrew Schultz]

Listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the playbook?

[Andrew Schultz]

He's a Bernie.

[Dolly Bishop]

Economy dummy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, the economy. Stupid James Carbell, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but it's like, this is. This is classic Bernie rhetoric. Like, Bernie don't want to talk about gays at all. Bernie's like, who gives a fuck if you're gay? He's like, who gives a fuck if you're black? You don't give a fuck. He's just like, this is a. This is a wealth gap, a wealth disparity. We talk about money. It will affect everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't hear about no sodomy. Sodomy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo. He said it on a pod. He was like. He literally was like, who cares if you're gay? Are you a good person or you're a bad person? And it was refreshing because people are tired of the fucking identity politics.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, Mamdani is. Is privileged in that he is identity politics already.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. So he.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whereas, like, a white guy's gonna get asked it every two seconds. A brown dude won't get asked if. Exactly. Exactly. So it's a little. Do you know what I mean? It's like, the other thing I'd like.

[Dolly Bishop]

To see him do is if I were him, I'd sit down with the NYPD Immediate app.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, yeah.

[Dolly Bishop]

Say, hey, man, I'm not saying I'm trying to replace you guys. I'm not trying to undercut you guys. I'm trying to support. Because crime is a real issue.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said it in his victory speech, though. Pull that up.

[Dolly Bishop]

I didn't see the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Alex.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. And he said he's not firing Tish. So the current. Which is good. Send the message.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said, I want to work with police. He said, I want to create. And I'm paraphrasing. He wants to create these task force that work with police. Like, you know, when you respond to mental health crisis or when they respond to homeless people, like, that shouldn't be an issue that the police got to deal with. I agree.

[Chris Moreau]

No, he's saying all the right things. We just have to hope the police are going to be willing to work with him.

[Andrew Schultz]

And they will. They will work if they believe he has their back. It's that Simple. But he has to convince them that he has their back. And he has to do that for the people of New York, because the people of New York rely on those police.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I've been here since 2006. When the NYPD don't give a fuck about you, they don't give a fuck about you. Remember when they turned their back on Bill de Blasio? They turned their back on Bill de Blasio. Crime went up. They like, oh, word. And remember after the whole defund the police, it's like, oh, y' all want us to fund it? All right.

[Andrew Schultz]

The most thankless.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kidding yourselves.

[Andrew Schultz]

The most thankless fucking job.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree.

[Andrew Schultz]

That we all, 1000% rely on every single day, every second, every second of every single day. It is the most thankless. It is. It is actually a real shame how little gratitude we have for the New York.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm on record saying that I think police officers need to get more money in their pockets. More money. Like, you know, I'm not. I. You know, they always.

[Andrew Schultz]

More respect if you have.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If you have these bloated police budgets. Make sure more money gets in their pockets. We talked about it on this podcast before. If you pay them a higher salary, then you'll probably get a higher quality.

[Dolly Bishop]

You're going to attract a better candidate.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, a lot of people. Here's the thing is, like, a lot of people, and I'm not trying to make this all about the transplants, but the transplants played, like, a huge part of this election. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. You know, people who identify as New.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yorkers, but they were born New York, they weren't born.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got you.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a transfer.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got you.

[Andrew Schultz]

But, like, they never. They were never in New York when the shit was. Was really rowdy like that, you know? So I don't think they realize the role that New York City police officers have played in making New York City a safe place. They came here when it's a fucking Apple store so they feel safe walking around. They didn't come here. When literally I'm in middle school, me and every single one of my friends got robbed for our North Face jackets within like a month. Literally, one by one, North Face jacket.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Back with a Fat Joe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Say again?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Fat Joe showed up to the lunchroom. Fat Joe robbed a whole. Your whole team.

[Andrew Schultz]

There was ho ho's in them bags. So it was like. It was a different time. Like, literally in middle school, the principal had to get on the loudspeaker and say, if anybody asks you the time on the street, do not tell them the time because they're really going to slice your face with a box cutter. As a gang initiation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You notice somebody's back doing that in New York right now. You do know that, right?

[Dolly Bishop]

Oh, I saw the slasher.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, like, this is what, this is what we grew up with, like my friends, literally, that you guys all know, gangs try to be like, listen, if you want to continue hanging out with us, you got to buck 50, somebody. And then that is how this is like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And we're in middle school, they'll buck 50 somebody.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not at all. Circumcision, they call it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hilarious. So.

[Andrew Schultz]

So what I'm saying is it's a different.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah, people move to the Sex and the City. New York.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. They moved there when this was sweet and low key. Like we were born at a time where it was already way better than the seven. In the 70s, New York was insane.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

80S too. But that's what's so scary when you sit down with people who grew up here and they were saying things, especially during COVID like, yo, this shit reminds me of New York in the 80s.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cops saved this city. And you don't know it because you weren't here, but the police saved this fucking city. So it would be to everybody's benefit that he communicates to them how important they are to making this an incredibly livable place.

[Dolly Bishop]

I'll add one more thing to that. You want the NYPD on your side versus ice, because that's coming if they fought the city with ice. You want the NYPD to feel like it's defending New York, defending the people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

NYPD gonna get the fuck out the way of ice. Duron needs the NYPD on his side for his own personal stage.

[Dolly Bishop]

That's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay, okay.

[Dolly Bishop]

Like literally, like for the city, for every. Like, ICE is gonna try to take over at some point. If Trump pushes the button, you're gonna.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which he shouldn't.

[Dolly Bishop]

He should not. But there could potentially be a true alien force in the city. You need the NYPD with New York, with the mayor, all that. That's. To me, that's the first step. You gotta get on the same page.

[Andrew Schultz]

I feel like. Sorry, go ahead.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My thought process was a lot like Chris's. That's why I'm glad we're having this conversation. Cuz I'm like, you know what? Andrew is right. The best thing Trump could do is not do government overreach. My mind was already going, it's gonna be so much government overreach. Military in the street, ice all over the motherfucking place. You know what I mean? But the smartest thing he could do is not, not do that. Let Mandani attempt to govern. And if he falls on his face, then you can use that as a picture to paint for the rest of America until the midterm.

[Andrew Schultz]

And if he's successful, take credit for it. Just be like, yeah, he did all those things that we're already doing over here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, he followed my blueprint to a key.

[Andrew Schultz]

And this is what Trump already does, right? If something works out, he goes, yeah, that's what we were doing. And if it doesn't work out, he's like, yeah, you guys fucked up. This is your shit. So, yeah, I think that, yeah, I think New York City just. He needs to make that connection. I think that would be really smart politics.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I think Zoron ran a really good campaign, man. But, you know, it is something to talk about in regards to Democrats that he just did the basics. The shit that Bill Clinton talked about in the 90s, affordability. And the shit Obama was doing in 08 social media and galvanizing the youth. Like, like I'm trying to figure out, how did they lose it after Obama because they went back to establishment telling people, hey, no, Hillary got him right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Here's the thing that people need to understand. The New York mayoral election is not Republicans versus Democrats, is Democrats versus Democrats. Okay? So the billionaires that live in New York are Democrats. Pause. So they're Democrats. Those same Democrats, if they lived in Texas or Florida, would be Republicans. There's no way that they're fiscally Democrats. They just know the only way to have a say in the governance of this city is to vote blue. Because it's going to be blue no matter what. So it's not a real, like, indictment on the Democratic Party when this happens. Now, naturally, the billionaire class or the powerful people, whatever, they want to maintain the status quo because the status quo is what makes them all their money. Unfortunately, right now, the status quo is not working out for poor people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not working out for middle class people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

So poor middle class people, when they see a status quo candidate that has a last name like Cuomo or Clinton or any of these, like, legacy people, they start to go, oh, that's going to be more of the same I can't have more of the same. So they're going to take a risk on an outsider like a Mamdani, because sometimes having hope of change is more powerful or more beneficial than the guarantee of the same thing that you're suffering.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I do want to know because he was polling at 1% in February. I do want to know what exactly was the shift for Mamdani? Yeah, that caused him to win a whole primary.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, a generationally unlikable candidate in Cuomo. Like, generationally unlike, but 1%, bro. Generational unlikable. Number two, like, low key, if you like, I was joking around earlier, but if you actually want to know how Mamdani got elected, like Hamas on October 7th got him elected.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tell me why.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hamas attack October 7th. Okay? War starts between Israel and Hamas. Okay? For the next two years, Israel just fucking, like, ethnically cleanses. It looks like they're ethnically cleansing. Okay?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Anybody who's talking about it or going, hey, this looks excessive. This looks wrong. What's going on with these people is immediately labeled an anti Semite. You hate Jews. What do you mean? What are we talking about? Hate Jews? I'm just talking about this war that's happening over here. Right? There's a mayoral debate where seven or eight people are on stage and they get asked a question. Where would you go for your first trip? And none of us know any of these people on stage. And all of them say the same exact thing. I'm going to the Holy Land. And one of them just goes, new York first. I'm staying right here. That goes uber viral. Yeah, but I don't think that has the same attention if Bibi's not ethnically cleansing Palestine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, we know, right?

[Dolly Bishop]

That's number one, the definition.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sorry.

[Dolly Bishop]

That gave him the separation.

[Andrew Schultz]

That gave him a separation. There's all this. There's all this immense online conversation about, like, the influence of Israel in American politics. There's this immense amount of conversation about, like, Americans not supporting what's happening over there, despite us sending billions of dollars. Like, there's a. There's this fervor online, and then there's this one guy who, in this random debate, we can't name anybody else out there, just goes, yeah, I'm just going to govern the people in New York. And when people are already suffering, right? We saw this happen in New York City. People can't put food on their fucking table. And then there are illegal immigrants here that were staying at hotels that we all knew growing up, getting three meals a day. They're like, why the fuck are they getting three meals a day? I can't get my kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Simple, simple shit. It's the same shit that they were at the border and everything else.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think that separates him immediately. And then there's so much money being spent to malign him that it actually.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Makes him raise his profile.

[Andrew Schultz]

Raises his profile. So he's getting way more. And then the Democrats are so stupid that they run Cuomo, who is once again one of the most unlikable people. It's like running Kamala. It's like, it's not possible.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, he's Kamala. Not that bad, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're on par.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuomo killed old people, sexually assaulted some folks. I think Cuomo and Biden are on par.

[Chris Moreau]

Cuomo's more likable. He just has the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cuomo's not more likable than Kamala, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah. Everybody's more likable.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not. You know what? The fact that he can't be Chris. Is Cuomo more likable than Kamala?

[Dolly Bishop]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Dolly Bishop]

At his best.

[Andrew Schultz]

At his best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on.

[Andrew Schultz]

What does Kamala say this likable?

[Dolly Bishop]

I think her best is always in private, it seems like, because everyone who.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Knows her, she's been getting better on her book tour. Her book tours are really good. They are. Her book tours are really good. I'm really happy about the things that she said.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, yo. Charlotte can't even lie. That's the beautiful thing about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I am. Yo, shout out to Big Matt. He.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's.

[Dolly Bishop]

He's not that charismatic. I'm thinking of Chris.

[Andrew Schultz]

Are you guys crazy? No, no, no, no, no.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What if he said that Chris, he.

[Chris Moreau]

Sexually assaulted 13 women and killed old people, and people were still thinking about voting for this guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That don't have nothing to do with Cuomo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no. They ain't got into a Cuomo, but nobody like that, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nobody like Cuomo, right? There was. People were just anti Madani. There wasn't a single person that was supporting Cuomo. Like, nobody was getting out in the polls saying, he's got great policies.

[Dolly Bishop]

I think the money. I think the money legitimately supported.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, no, no. They supported him because he represents stability.

[Dolly Bishop]

And a continuation of.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was like anybody who voted for Kamala, it was just like, they don't want more Trump, so whoever else is there, they'll support.

[Chris Moreau]

So I was talking to a lot of people. Cops, nurses, and finance people. All were for Cuomo.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And old people, but they weren't for Cuomo.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, yes. They weren't for Cuomo. Like, I love every one of his policies. They were afraid of what Mamdani might do to the city.

[Chris Moreau]

No, no. Nurses loved Cuomo for how he took care of them during the pandemic.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay?

[Chris Moreau]

Every nurse I spoke to and every.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Medical professional, by the way. We don't talk about how Cuomo blew a 31 lead, bro. Cuomo was the bell of the ball.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know. I know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God. He was the leader that America needed.

[Andrew Schultz]

He about to be president.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All he was doing was leading New York. But the fact that he was giving daily briefings and talking to people, that shit was galvanizing the country.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, and it wasn't even killing the old people. It was trying to hide it. And then putting out a book about how amazing he was at handling the pandemic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What Was it called? 107 days. What? What was it called?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know. What was it?

[Dolly Bishop]

It was Kamala.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, you're right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Locked in on a book. I didn't. I didn't even know you put out a book.

[Dolly Bishop]

You guys are forgetting the one person who was up three one plus up 20 in the fourth quarter.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hillary.

[Dolly Bishop]

Whole equation. No, Eric Adams. I mean, for the incumbent Democrat to lose in New York City to not even make it to the election is unprecedented.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He wasn't up 3:1.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Dolly Bishop]

Just by being an incumbent Democratic man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, bro. Eric was Eric.

[Dolly Bishop]

That's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They were looking for options for Eric. You know who Eric was in this equation? Chuck Schumer. Right now, all they got to do is put the right. If AOC runs against Chuck Schumer, it's out to Pastor Bro buddy.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah, Chuck. He.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Eric is Eric.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know if. I don't know if she got it.

[Chris Moreau]

And.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, bro. After what we saw yesterday?

[Chris Moreau]

Yesterday?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, after what we saw yesterday, I. I think somebody can primary. Hakeem. Somebody can primary.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's out of here. Hakeem's out of here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think Chuck is more, more, more.

[Andrew Schultz]

You saw Pelosi's going out to the pastor. She said she's like, I'm doing it myself. It's like, nah, shorty, you. You about to get rocked, huh?

[Dolly Bishop]

I'm disappointed in chalk. I'll say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Them youngins are not afraid. There's two things that Mondani's election for me did for me. Number one, it gave me hope in free and fair elections. Because I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't think that they was Going to let Mandani win this.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like all of these billionaires.

[Chris Moreau]

I thought the same.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The billionaires in the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Say it, Chris, the Chinese.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just didn't think they was going to allow it to happen. Like.

[Dolly Bishop]

Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said if he.

[Dolly Bishop]

We don't have it like that, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They don't. No, y' all don't.

[Dolly Bishop]

They don't have it like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You're right. You're right, you're right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, you're right. We're going to call them the Taiwanese now. I'll give you our nickname.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But no, all jokes aside, all jokes aside, for everybody who has these conspiracy theories about Jewish people. Yeah. If those conspiracy theories were true, they run everything. They control everything. When Donnie would not be the mayor of New York City.

[Dolly Bishop]

True.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He just would not be the mayor of New York City if what y' all say about Jewish people was true.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's true. Because I spent a lot of money. They spent a lot of money to not let him be married.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was like, yeah. I was like, I just don't see them allowing it to happen, yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it happened. So it gave me confidence in free and fair elections, at least on a local level. And it showed me that at least in New York, the socialist progressive agenda can get a lot of these establishment Democrats to fight.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not only New York. The reality of the matter is, is that people are struggling in America. That's the reality of the matter. When people are struggling, right? And they see the government sending billions of dollars overseas. Right. It's not just Israel. It could be Ukraine. It could be anywhere. It could be Argentina. People in America start to go, how are you not taking care of us? If the economy was booming and they were sending money overseas, no one would really give a fuck. You'd be like, let's help out all these countries. Let's do them a favor. Let's be this benevolent empire. But once you struggling at home, we don't want to hear nothing about anybody else's struggle. You come here with that bread, I.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don'T know why that's so hard for people to grasp it, but America was ran on. That's right. If America was really the land of milk and honey and everybody here was doing good, I wouldn't care that fucking Argentina got $40 billion.

[Andrew Schultz]

There has been times like that when the economy is humming. We're sending all this money overseas, and we just look the other way because we don't care. And it's not just the stock market's up. It's like, people making good wages, businesses are cooking. This is. There's. There are these times when you could do it, but the government officials. And this is what I said. Literally, it was some. It went fucking viral when I said Mamdani is the only New York first candidate. And it was like. I was like, he's running his New York.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He proved it in that debate. That's one question that came up on CNN yesterday, too, because Ben Shapiro was saying how he didn't have no good debate. And I'm like, that's not true. I'm like, what actually changed the tide for him was that moment at the debate. Because once again, you're leaning into Trump's messaging.

[Andrew Schultz]

What was Ben saying with his phony ass?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What was he saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Ben, just be honest, bro. Like, there's one issue that you care about. That's it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, he doesn't hide that, though. I think that we had a conversation yesterday and I was saying how I think it's unfair to call people like Mandani anti Israel because they're not anti Israel. They're anti the current Israeli government. Bibi Netanyahu and his war crimes in Gaza. Yeah, that's what people are anti, what he said. And I think that folks need to start pushing back on.

[Andrew Schultz]

What did Banna say to that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't remember, bro. Ben be coming at. Ben be spitting them words.

[Andrew Schultz]

Technically, the amount of babies. Technically, the amount of babies being killed is under the threshold of babies can be killed. We've calculated the amount of babies that are being killed.

[Dolly Bishop]

I have a friend who does argue that with me. He's like, you can't technically call this genocide in order for.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't say genocide.

[Dolly Bishop]

No, no, no. But I'm saying I have a Jewish friend who we get in this argument. I'm like, you sound like a Nazi trying to fucking put a number, you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Know, on the amount of babies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What I say, what I say, because I know that when you hear the word genocide, you're automatically ready to debate. I say ethnic war crime. No. War crimes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Against Gaza. Because that is what. What he's been charged with on the world stage.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. I say, yeah. I go ethnic cleansing because I think that that's been communicated by people in government there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That'll get debated, too. I'm not saying you're wrong.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's fine.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just saying if you don't want to. If you want to just kill the debate. War crimes, I guess. And we're all against war.

[Andrew Schultz]

The Reason why I said it is because, like, I don't know if it's the goal to exterminate the people that are there. Like, if Palestinians were down to move somewhere else, I think Israel would be like, we'll pay for it. You guys want to go? We got you. I don't think it's the goal to just kill every single one of them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's why you can't say ethnic cleansing, then.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, no, moving people is ethnic cleansing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I thought E was getting.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, it could be, like, what happened.

[Dolly Bishop]

In the former Yugoslavia.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, like you said, whereas, bro, say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jeff2 holiday, bro, you going like, no, no, for real. Like a lot of this.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's 911, though. That's 911. The jet fuel holidays.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're not mature enough to have a lot of these conversations are mature enough to have a lot of, but we're not mature.

[Andrew Schultz]

Deadpool holidays have a lot of these. Why'd you make me say that, yo?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't make you say nothing. That was ridiculous.

[Dolly Bishop]

What's the origin of that joke or meme?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have no idea what it's like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Which one?

[Dolly Bishop]

The jet, whatever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know the origin of none of this shit. I just jump in like a double Dutch, bro. Six, seven, jet, two holiday.

[Chris Moreau]

It was just a really old infomercial. Then people started using it on Tik.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tok, and so they clap it on anything.

[Dolly Bishop]

That's a mess.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what do we think happens, man?

[Andrew Schultz]

With what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Predictions.

[Andrew Schultz]

Predictions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Madani's whole candidacy. You know how we do, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, I don't think Albany will let him get most of the stuff done. I think he's probably a more shrewd politician than people give him credit for, so I think he will work them. The thing is this. If he has, he needs to get so much support in New York that Kathy Hochul thinks she can't win. I can't win without him if he can't build that up. Because think about it. Half the city not have the city. Maybe 40% of the city. No, no. Half the city, including Sliwa, is really against him, so. And the other half is really for him. It's on some Trump shit, right? He's that divisive. But half the city ain't enough to sway the election for Cavity, and the rest of New York might not be sympathetic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When's Kathy up? Next year.

[Andrew Schultz]

This coming year.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I will say this, and I want everybody to temper their expectations.

[Andrew Schultz]

But real quick, real quick, if Kathy. Here's the question. Kathy might Say I'm not raising taxes. When and after she wins, raise taxes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Would it be her last term?

[Andrew Schultz]

This would be her second. How many government. How many gubernatorial terms? Terms. So it's her last term and then she has to look at what she wants to do politically. After governor, what do you do you go to the Senate, like what do you.

[Chris Moreau]

And it's funny, I would think she would say the opposite. I would say she would look like she's agreeing with Zoe, saying that she will raise taxes on the billionaires. But then after she gets elected, not do it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me tell you, right? She's so, yeah, Madonna's had some key promises. I need everybody to temper their expectations and know he doesn't have to do all of this. Right? The free buses, the fair, free public transit, the city run grocery stores, lower food prices, universal child care, free early childhood care, the raising the minimum wage to $30 by 2030. Affordable housing and rent freeze for rent stabilized units, tax increases on high earners, corporations to fund these programs, lgbtq, TQ support and gender affirming care. That's seven things. If he checks off, two of those things is suing. If he gets universal childcare, New York will be eaten out the palm of his hand.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now hold on.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Out the palm of his hand.

[Andrew Schultz]

Can I tell you something? Hold on.

[Dolly Bishop]

I thought New York had a degree of that already.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think they do. I think de Blasio puts something in.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like that he promises to expand no cost childcare from infancy to age 5 for all families as part of his affordability agenda.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, so this is something interesting here. To me, the Zoron supporter, the typical Zoron supporter, the kid who like basically moved here had big dreams of making it in New York city. They got 200,000, $300,000 worth of college loans. New York City's a rough place. It's hard to make it. It's the best of the best in every business. Come here. Maybe their career didn't go the exact way that they thought they could. They're realizing that the window to achieve those dreams is probably closing. The rent is increasing. And he's like, I'm going to put a stop and give you a few more years to get, keep going after it. Those people, in my, in my opinion, probably don't have kids. Universal child health care doesn't help those kids. Those people, those voters, which I think are like the majority of the Zoe voters. But that might really benefit the people that voted against him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

And that might warm them up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

To those ideas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I think the 18 to 29 generations generation. He did go up in the club and.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do the Running man. And you know, I mean, you know.

[Andrew Schultz]

He'S not hating on Zoe. What he's hating on is like how phony people are. It's like people like you, whatever you do is fine. And when people don't like you, you can do nothing. Right? Like nothing. Right. And you're 100.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, he was that.

[Andrew Schultz]

People like the fact that, Listen, it's just. People are phony is what I'm trying to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

New York, New York City in a club, dancing to Not Like Us. It's a West coast song. You couldn't even pick like a classic New York record. Class big no.

[Chris Moreau]

Well, he wasn't the DJ then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think. Hey, I'm Zoron. When I walk in, you should know what it is.

[Andrew Schultz]

Mimi at the corner.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If Jay Z's on that, Jay Z's on that. At least Hove is on that. Okay, but all I'm saying, he got to just get a couple of these things.

[Andrew Schultz]

So which two do you think he can actually get?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Universal child care? Yeah, I think the LGBTQ support and gender affirming care.

[Andrew Schultz]

I think that's nothing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, that's not okay. Universal child care. And I, I, I believe minimum wage by 2030.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't think so? $30 minimum wage. It's not. Where's minimum wage at now in New York?

[Chris Moreau]

I actually, I have no idea.

[Andrew Schultz]

You $15, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all so fucking rich right around there.

[Andrew Schultz]

15 bucks, yo. Okay, so I, I don't, I, I think he can get the child care. I don't know what else. I think within two years he'll be able to do a REM freeze in. But that's two years from now.

[Chris Moreau]

Yes, I think the supermarkets. Cuz he only has to do five. He only said one in every borough. It's easy.

[Andrew Schultz]

But to me I don't think that's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A dub minimum way 1650 with people.

[Chris Moreau]

With food prices and the way people, you know how crazy the lines are going to be at those places.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I don't think you need that. I never like. All right, no, no, I'm going to tell you why. Because you got food banks and pantries like go to the food. If you go to the food bank in Harlem, the Food bank nyc, you will see that they're doing that already. They're giving out the groceries and everything else. I would rather see more funding go to them. Cause I actually see them do the Work.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's Charlotte.

[Chris Moreau]

There's a lot of middle class people that are still check to check. And they're not at the point of going to a food bank, but they are at the point.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Food banks aren't bad, like, but see.

[Chris Moreau]

But you know, a lot of people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have pride in policies for your pride. But by the way, to that point, with this current government shutdown, there was a woman that called Breakfast Club this morning. I think she was from North Carolina. She hadn't, she just missed her second paycheck and she was like, you know, look, she was like, you know, I know where the food bank at is here in, in North Carolina. You know, I went there already. Like they're already doing that. Some people don't have that much pride.

[Chris Moreau]

No, I know, but I'm talking about the people that are like right there afloat and they're like, oh, you know what? Eggs at this place is $4 cheaper. I'm gonna just go to this place. Who wouldn't do that?

[Andrew Schultz]

But that's to me, that's not what that's for. To me, it's not for that person. To me, it's for the people who don't have money for food at all. Right. If you're somebody who is choosing to live in a nice neighborhood that is outside of what your paycheck can cover, the food bank ain't for you.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah, but he, he doesn't have control of how people are going to utilize this shit. But that's something that he can do and everybody will instantly benefit from it. And they'll be like, oh, I like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But also too, you don't have to, I said to a friend of mine.

[Andrew Schultz]

Said this, she was like, she's like, I'm always skeptical of something about like, always skeptical of like, I forget exactly what it was. But something people who got a fresh manicure and pedicure, but they're getting something here. It's like if you got enough money to go get a Manny Petty, but you don't have enough money to go get food, your priorities are over. And this a friend of mine who grew up on like nothing broke as ebt whole life.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She's not, she's not wrong. But I will say that there is something about doing a little something for yourself that keeps yourself asleep.

[Andrew Schultz]

I, I, I'm not saying that that's wrong. That's not bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm not saying I get what she's saying, but I just, I can understand why people do both.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

For me, what I would rather do Is instead of building these grocery stores, I would rather subsidize the. The places that already exist in the hood. So it's like give the bodegas food. Let them make more money. Let them provide food for cheaper for the people in the area.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm telling you, the food bank you got, the food bank for NYC does such a great, great job, man. And they treat people with such dignity and such respect and everything is such, you know, just such a. Done at such a high level. Like, bro, I would go there and get a bag. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, there's nothing wrong if there needs nothing wrong to go.

[Chris Moreau]

Like, I'm just saying some people are going to feel like, hey, I'm not at the level. I shouldn't be taking this food away from people who really need it. Yeah, I think some people would say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salute to the food bank too, man. We raised 150,000 meals last week. I put up enough money to do 25,000 meals. All I wanted New York to do was match me. I just wanted to get to 50,000. We had like 150,000 right now, man. So salute to the.

[Andrew Schultz]

I want to get involved in that.

[Chris Moreau]

I'll send you the link donated to your match.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you, Alex. I know Alex donated. The makeup guru, Bobby Brown donated. Mad people. Just listen. I listen to Breakfast Club donated. Michael Che even hit me up today. He wants to donate, like, you know what I'm saying? It's just one of those things that I've been doing the work with the food bank. And so now that there's a issue that I want people to really galvanize around, people are doing it, you know, so 150, 000 meals. I don't. Y' all don't even realize how big that is for people over the holidays. And it's good food. Yeah, yeah. Like, all right, let me.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shut up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I may or may not take cookies from there because the cookies are so good. Them shit. Slap. Yo, you're not food bank, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm not. This is a guarantee.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The chocolate chip cookies at the Food Bank NYC in Harlem.

[Andrew Schultz]

Him.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Slap Slap. Okay, so I may or may not be bagging up cookies and put one or two in my pocket, but that's cool, right?

[Andrew Schultz]

Hey, man, you provide $150,000 meal. 150,000 meals.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all I'm saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

Whatever you want.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's all I'm saying. And go back to Zoran to put a button on it. I said he got to do two things. He really only got to do one. Like, what do we think of when we think about Obama's eight years? Obama, okay, all right, so if he do the, if he get the, if he get the child care. If Madonna can get the child care. Shit, done. Salute to you, bro.

[Chris Moreau]

You know, it's crazy. During his speech, he even said universal healthcare. And I'm like, he wasn't saying that before, but the fact that he said it during his speech, I was very surprised by that. If he pulls that off in New York City, I'm rooting for. He would be a legend forever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I love New York City. My career is in New York City. I became who I am because of New York City. I hope Zorron does it all. I hope that he makes it the utopia that he says it's gonna be. That said, good luck.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a beast. It's a beast.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cause for whatever reason, he chose to go head up with Trump immediately. And all I kept thinking to myself was, did Andrew tell him when he was on flagrant that if you're a mayor of New York City, you're like the second in command to the president. Like, you're the second most important person to the president. I. I'm like, why would he do that? Now say that. Go after authoritarianism, go after, you know, fascism. Say we keeping that out of New York. But he kind of just drew a line in the sand. Like, what did he say? Listen to it.

[Chris Moreau]

He just told him to turn the volume up so you can hear the crowd.

[Andrew Schultz]

Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you. Turn the vote volume up. New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this. To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Dolly Bishop]

He's 80 years old.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He can't fuck his nigger. I can't wait till them scooters come after Christmas. It's gonna be beautiful. Let's pay some bills, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Time understands that every dollar counts. That's why when you set up direct deposit through Chime, you can get access to fee free features like free overdraft coverage, getting paid up to two days early with direct deposit and more. Learn [e-mail] Idiots. Chime is banking done right. Open a checking account with no monthly fees and no maintenance fees. Get paid up to two days early. When you set up direct deposit with qualifying direct deposits, you're eligible for free overdraft up to $200 on debit card purchases and cash withdrawals. To date, Chime has spotted members over $30 billion dollars. So open a checking account with no monthly fees and no maintenance fees. Not to mention access to over 47,000 fee free ATMs. More than the top three national banks combined. Guys. Combined. Yeah, you want access. Sometimes you need access to that money. You need it a little bit early. You got a big date with somebody, you got to pay some bills off. Something's dropping that you need in your life. Life. Okay. You can work on your financial goals through Chime today. Open an account in 2 [e-mail] idiots that's chime.com idiots. Chime feels like progress.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chime is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services and debit card provided by the Bancor Bank NA or Stride Bank NA members FDIC Spotney eligibility requirements and overdraft limits apply. Timing depends on submission of payment file fees. Apply it out of network ATMs. Bank ranking and number of ATMs according to US News and World Report. 2023 Chime checking account Church announcement shows. Damn, that was crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was a little bit crazy. No, nothing to announce right now, man. Just getting back on stage. Feels good to be back on stage and very excited, very excited about what's to come.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My church announcements 2 Chainz book. Go pre order that right now the voice in my head is God. That will be available 3-3-2006 on black privilege Publishing. Also go pre order Arsenio Hall's book Arsenio that will be out next year as well. And go pre order Jess. Hilarious. Tell Deaf Do We Parent? I thought I had a copy with me, but I don't tell Death Do We Parent? Will be out next year via Black Privilege Publishing as well. That's gonna be a very interesting book because it is Jess talking about how her and her baby daddy Rome got to an agreement on how to co parent and you know, she had a baby when they were young. So it's a very humorous but you'll learn a lot. Now let's get back to the show. Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis canceled.

[Andrew Schultz]

So what happened? Gervonta put hands on his wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Man. You know what I heard? I heard that Gervonta Davis was being very difficult to work with and Netflix was just waiting for a reason, you know. You saw what Jake Paul tweeted. Jake Paul said Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The Unprofessionalism, the bizarre request, the showing up hours late to shoots, the numerous arrests and related accusations and lawsuits. If you support this man, you support the most vile sin a man can commit. What else does it say? I didn't want to give this woman abuser a platform to grow his fans and to grow his bank account. My company champions women. I'm so sorry to everyone involved, mostly to the undercard fighters, to my team at mvp, and to my team who worked so hard prepping for this fight, sacrificing time with loved ones and kids just for this fool to lose his unintelligent mind against again. It's scary that devilish men like this can rise to the top of culture in sports, including in positions of power. I hope you people moving forward look beyond his fake streetwear pieces swag. And search for something deeper to be a fan of. As for me, it's on to the next one. As always, Anyone, anytime, any place. I mean, here's the thing. I think that, you know, I don't know if it's true what they said. I just know that they were saying he was showing up late to promo shoots. And he is, you know, just being a diva, just being a difficult person to work with. And the thing I always tell anybody, I don't care what age you are, whenever you're working with somebody, when you, when you're on a set, you know, when you're in a corporation, whatever it is, the thing that will keep money in your pocket and always keep you working is when those individuals say, that person is a pleasure to work with. When they say, you're a pleasure to work with, I promise you, you will always get phone calls. That's why I walk in the room. It's just my nature anyway, because, you know, just the way my anxiety is set up, I need to know who's who. So I speak to everybody. I look in everybody's eyes. I, you know, I'm really observing to make sure I don't see anything bulging in any places where there might be pistols or anything else. But I'm saying hi to everyone. I speak to everybody in the room. I speak to everybody. When I leave, I'm polite because I used to sell crack and work at Taco Bell, and I understand how much of a blessing it is to be in these positions. There is no way that I'm going to be getting tens of millions of dollars like Gervonta Davis is and be acting like a diva. And I'm not saying he was. I'm just saying if the rumors are true. You know what I mean? If the rumors are true. Because that's what I was told, and I heard they were just looking for a reason to part ways.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, that's a good reason. I think he has a good point, too. It's just like. Like, you know, he built his platform a lot. Or Jake on. On female fighters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Absolutely.

[Andrew Schultz]

So maybe he should support Javante because he supports the beating of women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but not by other genders.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, oh, I got it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I got.

[Andrew Schultz]

I got it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And also, too, maybe Tank isn't used to.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nobody has paid people more money to beat women than Jake Paul. That's a fact.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

N. That's not true.

[Andrew Schultz]

That the women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he, bro? Did he, bro? What are we talking about? What are we talking about? You can add up the beat.

[Andrew Schultz]

They got beat.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what you just said.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, he's paying the beater.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, shit. You're right. God damn it. What's going on with our brains today? Yeah, you're right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So in a lot of ways, maybe the NFL. Say again?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The NFL maybe. You don't think the NFL, Maybe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, you're right about that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The NFL pays a lot of.

[Andrew Schultz]

The only. Only the only corporation or company that has paid people to beat women more. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now because there's a lot of women that are probably putting up with this because they're with these guys that are making all this money and they're like, if you didn't. If you didn't have all this money, you know how some people are, they telling them, baby, it's okay, he takes care of you.

[Andrew Schultz]

With Jake, that. Consensual. That's the thing is Jake, it's consensual. Two consensual parties, two women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say that word.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I'm saying it's consensual. I'm saying these two women.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So he paid women to beat on each other.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got you. Got you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Also, if you like seeing a woman get beat, imagine two women beating on each other. That must be double. That's like being porn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love women boxing. Also. I was thinking, too, maybe Tank isn't used to being the B side of a fight. The A side.

[Andrew Schultz]

So everybody's working around his schedule. And now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, when you the A side, you get to dictate things. You pick who you want, blah, blah, blah. Maybe he not used to being the B side and he's still trying to act like the A side. Netflix don't give a fuck. MVP promotions don't give a Fuck, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's a great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That could be. That could be it too.

[Andrew Schultz]

That would have been a big, big fight. I think a lot of us would have watched that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Of course we would have watched. Of course we would have watched 50 Cent trolling the shit out of Diddy, bro. Like, what's up, 50 Cent said he look, there's a picture of Diddy on the yard with a bunch of guys. And he said he look happy to me with all them handsome men around. Good morning, New York City.

[Andrew Schultz]

Damn, 50 don't let 50 diabolical, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, listen, man, you can't be mad at fif. Cause we don't know the dynamics of 50 and Diddy's issues. Oh, now I think I do. Cause I've been told things, but I'm not gonna ever share that publicly. But if you kind of knew, then.

[Andrew Schultz]

It might feel justified.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It would feel. No, not might.

[Andrew Schultz]

It would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It would. Man, it's like when people used to be like, yo. And it's not to this extreme, but when people used to be like, man, why he don't just let up off Ja Rule and blah. They tried to kill him twice.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So if you try to kill me twice, then it's gonna be hell for you forever.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And even if you didn't try to kill me twice, you know, we know about the stabbing at the. Even if the other one didn't have anything to do to you, I believe it was affiliated with you. I believe it was people close to you. So I'm gonna carry it like it was forever. Forever. I understand it now. The beef I don't understand 50 has is with Zoron Mundani. That's his latest foil. I don't know why he has the issue with zoron that he does.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know what? I didn't. Well, I think it's. We know why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The money.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was just the money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

But also. Also, 50 doesn't even live in New York anymore.

[Chris Moreau]

I know.

[Andrew Schultz]

So I don't know why. Maybe he's just looking out for the city.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think 50 just likes chaos.

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And as a cancer, I understand the.

[Andrew Schultz]

Zoron came out to a Ja Rule song for his victory song. Oh, he's up did.

[Chris Moreau]

That's probably why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What I want 50 to do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why come out to a Ja Rule song?

[Chris Moreau]

It's the was.

[Andrew Schultz]

There are other people 50 beef with the guy got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But they say he played many men at his victory party too.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, really?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. What I want 50 to do is learn the joy of with People behind the scenes. I read the 48 laws of power and the 50th law. I know 50s. Read the 40. 48 law of power. 48 laws of power says, always keep your hands clean. I, too, used to like to get my hands dirty, but it's nothing like being the wizard of Oz, by the way. I only say that to fuck with people. I just say that for the YouTube videos, you know, I love the conspiracy YouTube video. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Andrew Schultz]

How many. How many things you got cooking right now behind the scenes?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Behind the scenes. People with nobody, really. Nobody? Truly. Nobody? Well, nobody. Nobody in entertainment politics. Oh, you getting primary, buddy. Okay. Shout out to Vibe magazine, too, man. Vibe magazine did a great article on me and my good sister Dolly Bishop, man. We are on the COVID Yeah, we're on the COVID of this month's Vibe. It says dolly S. Bishop Charlemagne. Tha. God. The Black Effect Podcast Network shines, celebrating five years of creative excellence. So they did a great, great profile on us and the Black Effect Podcast Network. We've been in business for five years, man, and contrary to YouTube's popular belief, we are doing fantastic. Okay, what else we got? Chrissy? Chris Moreau. What we got? What we got?

He's an actor. People magazine named Actor Jonathan Bailey this year's Sex Man Alive. Bailey is known for his roles in Wicked British.

I've seen all those movies and have not seen this man ever in my life.

[Andrew Schultz]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's him.

[Dolly Bishop]

It.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He look too regular white.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you got.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got it. Like, there's a distinct. Like. You got like, Brad Pitt, George Clooney. There's a different, like, distinct, you know, whiteness about them. He don't have that.

[Andrew Schultz]

I agree, though. But, like. But yeah. I mean, I wouldn't. I wouldn't hit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You wouldn't hit.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think I hit you. You would. You clap it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, I don't like white. White. White meat.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't like white meat?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no.

[Andrew Schultz]

What happened?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Diet change. Diet change.

[Andrew Schultz]

What happens? You got that sugar, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Sugar?

[Andrew Schultz]

That sugar got. You.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gave up pork. Gave up white meat. You know what I'm saying.

[Andrew Schultz]

Gave it all. Dude, man, you looking good, though. Skin looking good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Thank you, babe. Dress. That's it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, let's dress, man. That pink hit different, though. That pink hit different, dude. That pink.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You excited. People from other podcasts. You're excited. People from other podcasts. Relax, bro. Relax, bro. Relax. Relax, bro. You're exciting. People from other podcasts. You're gonna make people from other podcasts relapse, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, no, no, I don't want. I don't want that. Because, you know, it's hard for them to control their diet. You know, the things you consume are difficult, man. Difficult, man. You know what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think he'd always be a voice for Israel, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's in some. Some dire financial situations for sure, bro. That's. How much you think it cost him to do that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. I want. I don't know. I'm not mad at him for doing it. I just. What is this, first of all, like, what was this event?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know, man. What's the check?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think he got paid for that? I don't think he got paid for that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he had to get paid.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You think so?

[Chris Moreau]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on, man.

[Chris Moreau]

Making him dress like a fucking superhero.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Look, listen, I'm not mad at him for doing it, you know, I don't like the conspiracy theories. In February, the IRS put a lien on Floyd Mayweather over taxes not paid since 2015. He was caught lying about owning Manhattan real estate by Business Insider. He's doing exhibitions that can't draw a crowd for a fraction of his heyday paychecks. He's being used for a check by the. I'm not saying that.

[Dolly Bishop]

Come on, guys.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, that's. That's. That's what I'm saying. It's ridiculous, bro. Like, that is tin foil Pooh shiesty mask, yo. Like, wait, what? Tinfoil Pooh shiesty mask. I don't have a problem with him doing what he's doing. And I think this is what happened. Happens when people don't make the distinction between Israel and the Israeli government. Your beef is with the Israeli government. That's who you're mad at? Not all of Israel and every Israeli. Right? Yeah, I would think.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, yeah, I mean, I don't think that we want to take responsibility for the things our government does that we don't, like, know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I think we make a. I think we do a really good job of drawing a line in the sand. I think it's a ridiculous argument because you're still responsible for the things that your government is doing. That's still your president at the end of the day. Right, right, right. Regardless. And we're allowed to criticize our president. Yeah, right. And we're allowed to demand that our president make changes. But I think that we're people people. There's too much.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. I don't think it justifies hating a group of people. I mean, I hate that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I'm with you, 100. But I think that there's a lot of it.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like, it's because people don't push.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Back on the BB of it all.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, I think there's a few things going on. It's like people don't push back the BB at all. I think that. I think there should be a separation between, like, the people in the government that make decisions and then just people who believe in a religion that's been around here for 3,000 years. I think those are separate. 100. 100%. But I also think that there's a thing going on where it's just like not being able to have that discussion without people labeling you some way, like, if you may, if you're critical of, like, what a government's doing and somebody labels you an anti Semite, it makes a lot of people just get quiet. Right. They go, okay, well, I don't want to say anything. And when they're quiet, you basically see the conversation to the most wild fringes. And then the wild fringes are the ones. Ones that dictate the conversation. So what we actually should do is have more conversations and have more dialogue without throwing around people being anti Semites or people being Jew haters and just addressing the ideas that are there and like debating those ideas and then you don't lose it to the fringe and the extreme. So there's a lot of different things that are going on here. But. But yeah, it's horrible to see all the anti Semitism and people think I'm curious. So I get it. Like, I can actually speak to it being real, you know, I mean, there's a lot of people who are like, nobody's assuming you're Jewish, so you're not getting it. People think I am, so I get it. So I can tell you for a fact. It is just like people are just hateful of people simply because they think they're Jewish. Not knowing a single thing about Chris.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did I tell you a couple years ago?

[Dolly Bishop]

What's that?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I said, yeah, I didn't know they hated y' all that much. Oh, yeah, I literally said that.

[Andrew Schultz]

And now. And now it looks like it's almost open season because they. They feel justified by what Israel's doing, and that's where you need to be able to cross.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's where you got to draw the. That's where. That's where you draw the line.

[Andrew Schultz]

They feel justified in their hate. Like, that doesn't justify. Justify your hate, by the way, at all.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I tell everybody, go Back to before October 7th. Israelis didn't like Bibi Netanyahu. Israelis, they wanted him.

[Andrew Schultz]

He was on his way out of here.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Exactly. Israelis were in the street protesting against Bibi Netanyahu.

[Andrew Schultz]

Israelis, they were protesting during the war, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's my point. So that's why the whole. I don't like when they label people like the Mandanis and everybody. They're not anti Israel, they're anti bme. But maybe the Mandanis of the world got to do a better job of being distinct about what they're against.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, so they're like, we can go back into things that, like, Madani has said, that are probably terrifying to Jews, right? Globalized Intifada. Like, that's a thing that's terrifying Jews. You roll your eyes at that because you're from fucking Taiwan.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Call Dove in here right now. Listen, all jokes aside, call Dove in here right now and get Dove to talking. Dove will have tears in his eyes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. So it's like, that's a thing that does scare scared Jews. Okay. Like, whether you like.

[Dolly Bishop]

But I also. I won't name the person, but I also saw a fairly prominent Jewish radio personality calling Mondani a terrorist this morning.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that's horrible, too.

[Dolly Bishop]

What?

[Andrew Schultz]

Who does it. Look, look, if you want to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can say, I don't know who did that.

[Dolly Bishop]

He's not even that big a deal. That's why I don't want to give a shot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, but the point is this.

[Andrew Schultz]

The point is this. Is that. Like. Like, that's terrifying. Also, just calling him a fucking terrorist. That's also terrifying. Like, you shouldn't be doing these things.

[Dolly Bishop]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

These things shouldn't happen when they talk.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It on his back.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. But it also. It's like disgusting rhetoric. Like, we should be able. These people are. If they are politicians. Like, they should be able to discuss ideas without the immediate label being thrown out. Like, oh, you hate all these people.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's lazy, maybe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. It's lazy. It's like, maybe there is merit to what they're saying, and maybe you should consume it. And then debate it, and maybe you have points that will rebuke what that person's saying, and then they might change how they feel. But simply just labeling somebody hateful is going to make everybody else leave the conversation. Now you lose the conversation to the fringes. They control the discourse. And then what they're saying is all of a sudden normalized, and we need to do that. It never works. Remember during fucking me too. It's the same exact thing during me too. We're out here going, hold on. Just like people at work and a boss says, like, you have a nice weekend. It wasn't that, but, like, something insane. We were going, well, that's a little bit crazy. Or Aziz Ansari going on a date. And like, yeah, you know what I mean? Like watching Seinfeld and offering a girl a glass of wine. And she's like, I was. Me too. And then people going, that seems a little far. And it's like, oh, you're enabling this toxic behavior. It's like, okay, well, now what you're gonna do is lose the conversation to the most extreme people. And then you had the red pill community dictating what the conversation was, was about men and women and their relationships. Like, you have to be able to have these conversations without immediately labeling people, or else it just gets so. How do we not learn this lesson every single fucking time? Listen, Black Lives Matter was the same thing. We could have had this conversation, right? We could have talked about it. We could have been, all right, maybe we shouldn't be destroying stores. Maybe we shouldn't be ripping these things off. And then what happens? We find out it was just a real estate scam? And now, you know, it's gonna be very difficult to support something like that in the future. We could have had that discussion.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's pay somebody. I'm not having come. Let's pay some bills.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you get what I'm saying, right? Yes, let's have the conversation instead of immediately labeling people hateful.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I agree. And I don't think that rhetoric works no more. They did that shit to Mandani, the whole campaign. That shit did not work. They did that to Trump, the whole campaign. That shit did not work. At the end of the day, people are tuning all of that shit out, and they like this motherfucker speaking to my issues. He's speaking to my interest. He's a good man, Savannah.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah.

[Chris Moreau]

Now they doing it to Tucker.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tucker who?

[Andrew Schultz]

Tucking his dick in your mouth. Tuck that in. Tuck this dick real quick in your mouth. Put it to bed. Put.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know why that was up, cuz that wasn't. You wasn't even trying.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm going to take advantage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So many Tuckers.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm going to take advantage of it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But, you know, it was so up when he said Tucker, my mind went to trans. I don't know why. I literally thought about somebody tucking their dick. I didn't think about. About Carlson.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How you not the most famous Tucker? How is Tucker Carlson not the most famous Tucker? Why do my mind go to people that tuck their dicks?

[Andrew Schultz]

That's your mind. RuPaul.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's face the bill.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, wait, we're not talking about Tucker.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What happened with Tucker? Yeah, what happened?

[Dolly Bishop]

What's the infighting? I know there's some sort of infighting.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tucker had Nick Fuentes on and then Shapiro is trying to cancel. Cancel him?

[Chris Moreau]

Yeah. I'm surprised you didn't ask him about that when you saw him yesterday.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, they did. I left only the hour. Yeah, the second hour. Because I was. When I was leaving and I was getting my stuff out the room, I. I saw Harry. Not Harry. Henry. Henry, Right, Henry. What's homie for seeing that name? That do the data. He's doing the poll.

[Andrew Schultz]

Enton. Harry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Harry Enton. I'm sorry. Salute to Harry. Harry was asking him about. About that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, yeah, Harry had all the Tylenol in utero that. He had all the Tylenol in utero.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What I got.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Chris Moreau]

They say Tylenol causes autism.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No. You think Harry got autism?

[Andrew Schultz]

Harry got autism with a capital. All the letters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so funny about that, man?

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on, hold on. I know Harry. I know Harry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what's so funny about that?

[Andrew Schultz]

Harry knows the score of every baseball game for the last 50 years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's rain Man. I didn't say this yesterday, but I was sitting there and nobody told us the show was starting, bro. So I'm sitting there and the shit starts counting down and, you know, the intro comes on and I'm like, yo, the show's starting.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Harry just starts talking like he just comes in hot. No, welcome to whatever, Whatever. He just started talking like we've been sitting there for a long time. Like we just knew what the fuck was going on. He didn't introduce nobody. We just got to it.

[Andrew Schultz]

He got it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I was like, yo, he's really, really focused. Like, he's laser focused. But now that you say that, now you get it.

[Andrew Schultz]

He had extra strength. He was on the extra.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now that you say that.

[Andrew Schultz]

They was crushing the extra strength.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now that you say that.

[Andrew Schultz]

I love Harry. Harry's a great guy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, Harry's a good dude.

[Andrew Schultz]

If I ever forgot a score of a baseball game from the 50s, he.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That Harry has that mad money energy. What's that dude name that's on Kramer? Harry and Jim Kramer. It's like the same type of thing.

[Andrew Schultz]

He also got that accent from like the 50s. He got an accent, you know, like that, like. Yeah, we got to find out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, like. Yes, exactly, exactly, exactly. Oh, this just in. This just in. Breaking news, breaking news.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Harry Enten are just reported. The boy.

[Andrew Schultz]

The boy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah. Salute to Harry. You do a.

[Andrew Schultz]

Love you, Harry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You do a good job. Last night was fun, man. We was on there with. Who was on there? Ben Shapiro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Anna.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I always. What's Anna's last name? From Young Turks.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know it starts with a K. Kasparian, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love Anna Kasparian.

[Andrew Schultz]

She don't give a fuck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Anna is the truth.

[Andrew Schultz]

She don't give up. How did her and Ben get along?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, Anna pushes back, like in a good way. Like she. She just. It's not even a conflict way. It's like, no, I disagree with you there, blah, blah, blah. But when she needs to get bucked, she gets bucked. They didn't get bucked last night though. Teslin Figueroa was on there as well. And the reason I like CNN and I gotta give Abby all the credit for this stuff like this CNN election live cast wouldn't happen without Abby Phillips because Abby Phillips gives a platform to people like Anna. Abby gives a platform to people like Teslin. They probably would have had Ben on there anyway. Cause Ben's platform is huge. You know what I'm saying? Young Turks is big too, right? Teslin's building her platform as well.

[Andrew Schultz]

Young Turks, hosted by.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chank. My guy, Chank. Yo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do you love. Do you love Tank? Do you love Chank?

[Dolly Bishop]

Who?

[Andrew Schultz]

Chank.

[Dolly Bishop]

Yes, I do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's my guy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Technically, you're a chank lover.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mark. Mark.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's fine. That's not bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Leap it.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's not bad.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why is that bed? That's his name, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That is his name.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's his name. I'm not pronouncing it wrong.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You love Cenk.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're asking how do I pronounce my name?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to put this to bed once and for all. And it's really hard. And if you get it wrong, I don't blame you. So the first name is Cenk. It's spelled C E. N K. The C in Turkish is pronounced like a jerk.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like jank.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, short for Jenkins. Okay, jank. Well, shout out to Anna, man, to have Anna on the pod. Yeah, we should have had Anna on the pod. Anna's dope. She's dope. Salute to Anna. I wanted to have her own Breakfast Club this week, too, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

She's chopping up with Anna, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's do some asking. Idiots. Chris, let's do it. Uh, why? I don't even know how to pronounce this shit. Domterodass.dad88 said, why is male masturbation nasty, but for women it's sexy? Who said it's nasty?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, it's not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Male masturbation is nasty.

[Andrew Schultz]

I caught a nocturnal emission last night.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, you nutted it in your dream.

[Andrew Schultz]

Fire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, you was getting by a poltergeist, bro. Poltergeist gave you some pussy head. Poltergeist gave you some head, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

I remember exactly what it was. And the head was crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crazy.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You remember what the ghost looked like?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who was it?

[Andrew Schultz]

My wife.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, bro. I know it's wintertime and y' all just cut it out. She wants a ghost, bro. What the fuck?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, it was my wife that I love.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it was a dream.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, and it was my wife in the dream, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who sucked you off in the dream, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's my wife that I love, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what? It was a Muslim, wasn't it? That's why you don't want to admit it. You went to sleep thinking about Mandani.

[Chris Moreau]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Allah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I exploded it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did he say he exploded?

[Andrew Schultz]

Exploded, bro. On that. Allah Akbar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That jizz. All that jiz. That J.

[Andrew Schultz]

She got paid in tax, you know what I mean? I had to give her something to eat. They call it the Allah Snack Bar.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A ghost ain't me in a minute, bro. Nah, nah, man. I used to get by ghost back in the day. The day.

[Andrew Schultz]

But what do you mean? Like. It's more like getting.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You get like, you the same. You had you dreaming and you just.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wake up like, oh, no, but you getting some. You weren't getting like a ghost. Would you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, bro. If you was in your sleep, what you call it? What did you call it?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nocturnal admission.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. That's when a ghost is you.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I was getting. I was getting head. Boy was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Boy was deep. Google Nocturnal admission, maybe.

[Chris Moreau]

I think it just means you coming, you came and you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, you have a wet dream.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. That's when a ghost is you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I wasn't Getting. I was getting head now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't know. That's a poltergeist giving you some, bro. That's what you think. You think it was just a nocturnal.

[Andrew Schultz]

Emission on his head and it was fire.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not cheating if it's a ghost, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

She was loving it, dude.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The ghost?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I felt bad that I woke up on her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Because she was loving it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I felt guilty. I was like, yo, I'm about to wake up, shorty. She was like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Shout out to that ghost.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out to the ghost.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Out to the ghost. Keeping us straight, Chris.

[Andrew Schultz]

What do your ghost sound like? Are they. Do they say? Do they say. Woo.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You see this? Hold on, look. The term nocturnal admission can be connected. The term.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, that was. That was good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The term nocturnal can be connected to supernatural beliefs. Like the idea that the accidental emission of semen by Adam during punishment created demons and ghosts, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out Adam, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. You had a ghost. Gave you head last night, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bop, bop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's fire, Bob. Ghost kept you from fucking. It's not cheating if it's a ghost, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

It isn't. I agree with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not cheating if it's a ghost. You ever had a ghost?

[Andrew Schultz]

Now, do you get up and change your underwear or you sleep?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, you gotta change, yo. Yeah, of course you gotta change. That's the least you can do.

[Chris Moreau]

I've never had a wet dream.

[Andrew Schultz]

You never had a wet dream, bro? Man, you're crazy for that one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Never ever.

[Andrew Schultz]

Never, never ever.

[Chris Moreau]

Like, I always wake up before it happens.

[Dolly Bishop]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, so you're having sex with a girl in a dream and then you wake up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, the ghost don't find you sexy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, the ghost don't want you to nut.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ghost's like, I'm moving on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, his gay ass.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not six o' clock yet. Let me get to somebody else before it fucking turns back.

[Andrew Schultz]

They like, you think that she ran through to someone else after me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, nah, nah. She got what she wanted, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Got what she wanted. She got what she well fed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ho.

[Andrew Schultz]

Facts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know you can't even spell ghost without ho.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's facts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't even spell it without ho.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's facts.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

G, H, O, S T. Without ho, you just got a G, S, T. That's a cop.

[Andrew Schultz]

That is a cop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No_. Profit._4325 said. Is there a certain age of maturity level that men get to that they just don't cheat anymore? Yes. Are some men born Cheaters and always going to be cheaters are cheating adjacent. I don't think it's about maturity level or age. I think it's about, you know, you understanding what's important.

[Andrew Schultz]

Also your weight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know. You know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, them fat cheat. Bro, them fat folks not fat fucks cheat. Yo, it's us people that have been shaped that don't cheat. Them fat fucks, yeah, they cheat. Yeah, bro, them fit fucks, we don't cheat. But fat fucks cheat meal, man. That's exactly a cheat meal.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get them every single time we don't stay fit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But to your point, it was something we was talking about earlier, and I feel the same way. It's like a certain level of, you know, peace that you have when you ain't living like that. Actually, I was talking to G herbo earlier. Now, it's a certain level of peace that you have when you ain't living foul.

[Andrew Schultz]

Imagine not living foul, but sometimes people live foul. They gotta make up for it by, like, seeming more pure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Huh?

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, sometimes seeming more pure, seeming more pure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I get what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

They gotta live up for it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? I wouldn't want to do that perp walk in front of my daughters, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, bro, that's. No, that's foul.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no, no. And your wife would tell you that, like, yeah, you gonna have to explain to your daughter. Daughters, you know, while we getting a divorce. Holy shit. Nobody got time for that, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nobody got time for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We ain't got time for that. Yo, cool. Dash spinach dash 1780. If you could live somebody else's life for one day, whose life would it be? And why? Psy not Chris's. What the fuck?

[Andrew Schultz]

Chris got a fire life. Wake up in the morning, pretend he got limes, right? Get all that sympathy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris is scared of scooters, bro. Yo, Scooter Braun was in here.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm serious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I walked in, Scooter Braun was out there. We all laughing. Chris was in the other room.

[Andrew Schultz]

Listen, you didn't realize that Chris was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

In the other room. He's the best. Chris was like, I don't even want to be around him.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's the best. He's the best. You didn't see he sat on that for two hours.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know.

[Chris Moreau]

That's fine.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he's the best. That was. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You knew who the fuck that was. Chris was a boy.

[Andrew Schultz]

That Scooter was really here. Charlamagne's not making it up for a Joke. He was really here, and he sat on that for two hours of the podcast, just waiting for the right time to let that go. You're really the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Chris literally, really sat here. Am I lying?

[Andrew Schultz]

He came in, saw him, and then.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Got the out of here put together.

[Dolly Bishop]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't even interrupt when I walked in. I said, what's up? I said, oh, Scooter. I saw. I'm like, yo, what the Is going on?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, bro, you're the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was crazy. Chris.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're the best.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was crazy. I wouldn't want to live nobody else's life. Yeah, my life has been amazing, bro. Like, I don't want to live anybody else's life. I don't want to live anybody else's existence. I love my journey and the journey that I'm still on. It is amazing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes. Shout out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? I don't want to. Because you don't know what other people really got going on.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a hard question to ask once you have children.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Because you can't imagine living with. Not them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

That seems like such a punishment.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then what if you go live somebody else's life, for one, and you don't know that they gay on the low.

[Andrew Schultz]

Now you're just getting your whole blown out, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Or somebody keep trying to hit on you and you like, yo, what the fuck? I'm not gay. You know? Since when?

[Andrew Schultz]

Boom.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You was gay this morning.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Suck it up. You know what I'm saying? Like, that shit could be kind of crazy, yo. Yeah, let's do one more Knowledge wants to know, was it your father or your mother that taught you your values?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, my dad, sure.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just your dad.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Mine was both.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That'S your dad.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's my dad. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, what values? My mom work her ass off and she provides and that kind of shit, but, like, in terms of, like, humanity. I thought you meant values in terms of, like, humanity, like how you treat people. Kindness, respect, honor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got that from your mom.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even just watching how she. Your mom is the sweetest, bro.

[Andrew Schultz]

Nah, nah. My dad, bro. My dad. That's all. 100% my dad. White people, 100% my dad. My dad would instill it, and then my mom would chip away at that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I love Andrew's commitment to misogyny. I mean, when you are misogynistic to your mother, that. Get it. I get respect.

[Andrew Schultz]

I get it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can't even be mad at you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get it from my mama, bro.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I get it from my mama.

[Andrew Schultz]

My dad is the most loving, bro. I get it from my mama, Man, Take that out on her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, one more, man.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out my mom, though. You did something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's end on something. Good. This is good. These are two. These last two are good, though. If. Where's my super suit? If Andrew and Chris switch bodies Freaky Friday style, who would be the first person each of you call to try and talk to?

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait, what? What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh. If we switch bodies Freaky Friday style, who would be the first person that each of us call to try and talk to? You know I'm talking to you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Finally gonna call the Chinese restaurant, and let's say what they say.

[Andrew Schultz]

You already know. You already know. I'm going straight to the source.

[Chris Moreau]

All right.

[Andrew Schultz]

What's up with it? What's up with it, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You go to that local Chinese restaurant. I've been trying to understand you for years now. I can finally understand more of that now.

[Andrew Schultz]

More now.

[Dolly Bishop]

I think you're really confusing a lot of the viewers out here. Or the listeners.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, Chris, you're Asian, you're Jewish Asian. We know this.

[Andrew Schultz]

Come on. You're Jian, you are Irish, you're Jewish and Asian.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

One more. This is the last one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, what did I call him? Egg Joo Young.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What? Egg Joo Young is hilarious. That might be the name of the podcast. Young Turtle 08 says, Respectfully, you are both leaders in your individual fields. Did you have to grow into that leadership role, or is it natural for you, Schultz?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know. I don't know. I never really think about it in that way. I never really think about it in that way, to be honest about it. I think naturally there's growth with anything, but I never thought about it in that way. I was always just like, what can I do to continue to make the comedy that I want to make and put it out successfully?

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then I was fortunate enough that it was successful. I think other people gravitated to the thing that they saw that was successful, but I never was like, it's my role as the leader to change these things. It was just like, how can I do comedy the exact way I want to do it?

[Dolly Bishop]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I would be honest with you. I don't look at myself as a leader.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I don't feel like I'm in a leadership role. I feel like I am a servant. I'm here to serve the needs of our listeners. Listeners. Our viewers. And I feel that I am a great team. Player. And I think that, you know, one of my skills, if I had to say what some of my skills are, are finding the right people to be in those leadership roles. Cause you can have a vision, right? Like, you can have a vision for something like Black Effect, but be like, who could run this data and make it successful?

[Andrew Schultz]

Bro, that shit is so hard.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, Dolly Bishop. You know what I'm saying?

[Andrew Schultz]

Hiring the right people, hiring talent like that shit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hire the right people, and everything else falls in place. When I had my TV show, you know, my good sister Rachel Edwards, she was our showrunner. And, you know, everybody always complimented our staff. They always complimented the team. There was only two people on that team I picked. It was Rachel and Bianca. Because I knew that Bianca and Rachel would fill in everything else. They would fill in the blanks.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, if you hire right, they will do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

That is the truth, you know, and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That'S exactly what Rachel and, you know, Bianca did. And that is the reason that we had, you know, that staff that we had, you know. Salute to Bianca B. Bianca, brunette.

[Andrew Schultz]

Shout out big Bianca.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bianca, brunette, white.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yo, Charlotte, can you watch?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bianca, brunette, white.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, God.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So, yeah, man, that's it. I don't like. I. That's it. Thank you for joining us this week. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast, I think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit. You're right, too. It's the Brilliant Idiots Podcast. Thank you for listening.
