Charlamagne Tha God went on Lara Trump’s show and his comments have been hit with a lot of scrutiny from the right, including Trump himself coming after him calling him a “low IQ” individual. Loren comments on this latest outburst from the president and notes that he is happy to use Charlamagne’s voice when it serves him, during his campaign and then happy again to attempt to drag him when he is critical of the administration.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Gee, I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everybody you don't.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
If you don't lie about that, right, Lauren came in. Hey, y'all,
what's up.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's Lauren L. Rosa and this is the Latest with
Lauren L.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Rosa.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Now, this is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment,
news exclusives because y'all not bring them exclusives, and all
of the conversations that shake the room.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
So let's get on end to the latest. Now, typically
we do the.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Behind the scenes of the grind check in, but let
me tell y'all, Okay, my wig is snatched. And y'all know,
it takes a lot for my wig to be snatched
because normally baby is a fried die and laid to
the side. That's not the best term to say, we're
talking about your wig, But what I'm saying is it
takes a lot to like throw me off a bit.
And today I was getting ready to come in here

(00:51):
and you know, record the podcast. I had my whole
episode ready and all the things we're gonna talk about,
and then Donald Trump decides to get on True Social
and respond to Charlemagne who went.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
On Fox News and said this, let's take a listen.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I do think and this is a I think that
I think that conservative traditional conservatives are going to take
the Republican Party back. I think there's a political coopan
right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying
attention to. Oh interesting, Yeah, I think that the I
think that this, this this Epstein thing is going to

(01:29):
be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back.
I really do. I think that. I think that I
think that they know this is the issue that has
gotten the base routed up. The base, the magabase isn't
letting this issue go, and for the first time, they
know they can, you know, probably take their party back

(01:49):
and not piss off the magabase. I think. I think
I think they're going to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Well, I would say, you know, we've never seen a
typical election since the day that Donald Trump came down
the Golden escalator.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
So I don't know that.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
I don't know that we'll ever see another typical kind
of traditional election with traditional Republicans.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I feel like things have changed, the game changed, and
to say that the old guard is going to kind
of come back, that's that's a lot that's.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
A big saying.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
But that's the mistake Republican is going to be. Republics
are going to make the same mistake that Democrats made.
And I'll tell you what I mean by that. Barack
Obama was a one of one, once in a lifetime,
you know, political juggernaut. And since Barack Obama, every Democrat
has tried to be Barack Obama.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
You're not, you can't.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
You got to be yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's going to be the same thing with Republicans. Say
what you want. Donald Trump is a once in a lifetime,
one on one political juggernut. You're not going to be
Donald Trump. So if you think you're going to be
able to do what Donald Trump has done, talk the
way Donald Trump is talking, get away with what Donald
Trump's got away with, It's not going to happen. So everybody,
right now we have the opportunity to have like a

(02:59):
huge resets. I think you should blow.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
It all up.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
I think that people are really sick and tired of
what present we've been presented from both parties. By the way,
we knew this before the last election. They were telling
us that like seventy percent of people did not want
to see a rematch between Trump our body. So it's
just like we know we want something different. Everybody wants
something different. So I think that if Democrats keep doing
the same old thing, they're gonna keep getting the same results.

(03:22):
And the Republicans, you know, think that they can repeat
what has been done and don't try to give the
people something new, they're going to get the results they
don't want.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
This is not anything that Charlottage has not been saying
for I think, I would say for the last month,
maybe two months, he's been having this conversation about Epstein
and why Democrats should not let up on it, why
this should be you know, the hot button topic that
Democrats lean in on the same way that Republicans lean
in on, you know, transgender conversations and you know all

(03:55):
those things. Right, Like, they have their topic that they
lean in on heavily. They use it to incite the
masses and get people listening and show okay, here's what
we can do.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
And they're changing laws and changing rules and all these things.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
That has been Charlemage's point for the last like two months, right,
and he's been saying it and yelling it and screaming it,
but baby, when he sat across from Laura Trump and said.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
It, Oh, the people is upset.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I tweeted out just the videos from the interview, and
I ain't never seen I thought the shade room comments
got messy, Baby, I ain't never seen that.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Many people arguing about the things.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You got some people feeling like Donald Trump gathered Charlemagne.
You got some people feeling like I've literally one girl said,
I've never wanted Charlemagne to be right as much as
I want him to be right about what he just
said on Fox News with Laura Trump. And I think
the reason is is, I mean, to his point, some
of y'all thought that, you know, having Donald Trump in
office would be the key to whatever it is that

(04:51):
you need, whether it's more money in your household, the
price of groceries going down, you know, being able to
go work a job and you know, not be targeted
because you're a person of color working at you job
or not. I feel like you're just checking a box
under DEI and just having DEI even exists so that
you could even walk through the doors.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Of the job.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Let's talk about that, right, But other people feel like
the complete opposite now let's get into what Trump actually said.
So Trump got on truth Social, which is his version
of X, and he said, the wonderful and talented Laura Trump,
whose show is big ratings success, put racist sleeves back,
Charlotte magde the God. First of all, I don't even

(05:26):
believe that black people can be racist. But that's a
whole nother conversation. Argue with your mom and he put
in her in disease.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Why is he allowed to use the word god?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
At least he capitalized God because you should when describing himself.
Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I
use that nickname. He doesn't have to, He's already positioned
himself well above dictatorship.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
He's a low IQ individual.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
He has no idea what words are coming out of
his mouth, and he knows nothing about me or what
I've done. Trump then continues like just ending five wars,
including my Let me just say, for clarification here and
for all purposes, I don't know if any of this
is true. I am not the you know, political voice
or face. I know enough to get me to the ballot.

(06:13):
I know enough to try and keep me safe in
this last election. It did not work. But I know enough, right,
But I don't know if all this is true. And
we know that President Trump loves to uh trump things
and speak very President trump ish, but he lists some
things that he says that he's done. So President Trump
says he's ended five wars, including a thirty one year
blood bath between Republicans of the Congo and Rwanda where

(06:36):
seven million people have died and there was no end
in sight.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
He didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Or India and Pakistan, or wiping out Iran's nuclear capabilities.
I know that, you know he sent the strikes over
there to Tehran, or closing the horrendous open border, or
creating the greatest economy where prices and inflation have come
way down and we're stupid, and he puts stupid in
cat and corrupt corrupt in caps. Joe Biden. Of course,

(07:03):
Joe Biden isn't all caps. Set the record for doing
the worst job as president ever.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Ever, isn't all caps.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
But let's not shy away from the fact that Charlemagne
actually says while they're on Fox News that he's been
critical of Joe Biden as well.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Let's take a listen to that.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
At the end of the day man, regardless of who's
in the White House, that person represents all of America,
and I.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Reserve the right to criticize both parties well, and I
would say that person is a representative of America and
we should all want that person to succeed for America, right,
no matter your your political viewpoints, right, one hundred percent agree.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Like when you ask me, you know, what do I
think Trump has done? President Trump's done over the last
six months. I don't want to say that I think
he did a terrible job. But if he's doing a
terrible job, I got to call it like it is.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
And if it was a disagree and I understand that
would you can.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Have your view.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
But if it was I gave President Biden the same
hell too, you know, because I didn't think he was
doing a good job. All we want is somebody in
those positions that's going to do a good job. I'm
not a party person in no way, shape or for him.
I want to say I'm an independent, but that don't
make no sense because there's only two parties in this country, right,
so you're gonna end U voting for one of them.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
YEA, Trump continues, but this dope Charlomagne.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I'm surprised if he's saying he thinks Charlemagne is dope,
or is he saying that, like Charlemagne is on dope,
but this dope Charlemagne will vote for Sleepy Joe or Kamala.
Remember one year ago our country was dead. Dead is
in all caps. Now it's the hottest, because hottest is
in all caps country anywhere in the world.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Maga.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
We also got to remember to that some time ago,
Charlemagne was getting dragged. I mean every auntie, every black church,
every political head, black, white or indifferent. That was, you know,
for the Dems, especially if you were black. Charlemagne wasn't
your friend, y'all. Remember that because he was saying things
like this.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Donald Trump shows me was politically possible. Trump shows me
what presidents can do if they want to do it.
Trump shows me what can be said if you were
willing to say it. It's not about what can't be done,
it's about who has the political will to do it.
I don't want to hear peep from Democrats about nothing
until they get the book say what's really on their
mind in regards to this country in this world.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
So for people to use this as a moment of
a but wait, weren't you all for Sleepy Joe and
all the things? And we got to get Charlota Magne
up out of here to be honest with y'all. The
day that Kamala won, the Breakfast Club broadcasted from DC.
We broadcasted from Howard University, and you know, it was
supposed to be historic, like Kamala Harris was going to

(09:35):
win the election black woman, and you know, after defeating
Donald Trump, and we would be at Howard University, her
alma mater, and you know, all things black will go
down and celebration, and we were there, and it just
didn't feel like that was what was going to happen.
After a while, and you're there in real time watching
it happen. We ended up leaving before she was even

(09:56):
able to come out and make the small remarks. No,
I don't even think she came out made works that night,
but we ended up leaving. Nonetheless, we left before the
actual voter night ceremony at Howard University was over. But
I remember we broadcasted from Maryland the next morning, and
I remember texting Charlemagne and saying, what are you going
to get on err and say tomorrow, because everybody listens

(10:17):
to you when it comes to politics. Everybody I know
listens to Charlemagne. And I don't think it's because because
I think here when Trump is talking about IQ and
what he does or he doesn't know, I think a
lot of times with politics, and Charlemagne is actually credited
Donald Trump for doing this. A lot of times with politics,
people would like to make it seem like if you
don't know everything, if you can't rattle off every poll

(10:41):
number or every mass world event, you shouldn't be speaking
and people should not be listening to you. But ironically enough,
what Charlemagne has given Donald Trump credit for is going
right through that and making it clear that that is
not true. But Donald Trump is using the same rhetoric
that people will throw at everyday people. And honestly that

(11:03):
a lot of the Democrats have gotten shit for right
because a lot of the Democrats, people like to say
they're elitists. They only want to talk and listen to
each other. And when I say each other, I mean
those people that I mentioned, the people who can rattle
off all the numbers and all this, not the everyday
people who are going through these things who they might
not know everything, but they know what they're experiencing every

(11:23):
single day. And I think Donald Trump is missing the
fact that because even Laura Trump said it on her show.
Donald Trump is missing the fact that the everyday people,
the listener to the breakfast club to a voice like
a chola mean the god who is tuned in every day,
who is relying on you to get information. So information,
of course, and factial information is always important, but people
just want to hear from someone who they believe, feel

(11:45):
them that they can trust. And he has become that.
Donald Trump is making it seem like he doesn't understand
that or know that. But Babe, Donald Trump ain't taking
his time to tape out this paragraph, this essay, this
thesis if he didn't believe it. I think the irony
of politics always end up showing their hands. Because how
ironic that Donald Trump used the breakfast club right to

(12:08):
lean into that hot button topic to try and help
him create commercial ads to win the campaign against Kamala
her shall remember this.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Kamala supports taxpayer funded sex changes for.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Presidents, surgery for prisoners, for prisoners, every transgender inmate in
the prison system would have access.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that.
Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail with our money.
Kamala even supports letting biological men compete against.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Our girls in their sports. Kamala is for they them.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
President Trump is for you. I'm Donald J.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Trump, and I improved this message.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
But at the same time, the minute that Charlamagne disagrees,
and honestly, the disagreement wasn't even like a bias disagreement.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
It was very fair.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
It was I have the right to criticize and I
don't believe that you were doing a good job, and
so here's what I'm going to do, right. But the
minute that he hears that on a platform that you know,
he obviously wants to promote Laura Trump, his daughter in law.
So he's going to lean and he's gonna pay attention.
He's going to give it like he does. But it's
insane because the same person that has this low he
said low IQ and has no idea of the words

(13:17):
that are coming out of his mouth. You ran these ads,
Donald Trump for about a good six month, like a
very long time, to the point where anywhere I went,
whether I was in church.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I was with my family. It was a family cook out,
the reunion.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
You had the Aunties, mad At Sister Charlene, Charlemagne to God, okay,
baby all his I talk a lot about him not
having a hairline. He might have grew one back from
the stress if he leaned into the amount of people
who were upset at the breakfast club for that Trump
ad because it was taken out of context. Number One,
they were never campaigning for Trump or anything that he
was doing. They were having a conversation about some of

(13:53):
the trans law and trance conversation. But it's just ironic, right,
But that's how his politics thing go. And that's what
I'm beginning to learn is like all this is a facade.
People don't really know who they're against, who they're with,
nothing at all. There was one part of this interview though,
that I feel like a lot of people are not
going to focus on because it's not the Hey, this

(14:14):
is the argument between Trump and Charlemagne point, it's.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Not the Caddy Housewives vibe. But to my point of.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Focusing on the people and what the people actually care for,
what the people actually want done, and finding a person
who actually cares about that and wants to get it
done and not just their hot button topic and using
people when it makes sense for them, and then going
against these people or going at these people when it
makes sense for them. Right, Donald Trump talks about fake
news and how the news is sensationalized, and he just

(14:43):
you know, got this settlement, this huge settlement, right because
he claimed that sixty minutes altered a Kamala Harris interview
by editing the interview. Essentially, that leans into him feeling
like the news was going to be reported or displayed
in a very disproportionate way. I think that it's funny

(15:04):
that then you see Donald Trump right now if you
are a person who did not and I don't know
how you wouldn't if you're under or maybe you're under rock.
But if you're a person right now who knows nothing
about the Breakfast Club, nothing about Charlamagne the God, you
would think that Charlamagne is this non neutral, heavily critical

(15:24):
Trump hater. And I mean, we're not throwing up, we
love you, Welcome back dud to Harlem, shake on the mace,
Welcome back Donald Trump. Party whenning the man walk back
in the office. But I think if we're being honest.
A lot of people have had to come around to
the point of the president is the president. So I'm
a criticize you the same way I was criticizing everybody

(15:44):
else because my main goal here is to get what
I need as a United States citizen, to get what
the people need as citizens. So I show all of
this to you to say, Andy Cohen, you are focused
on the wrong thing.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
We need the real husbands of the White House, the
real girls of the White House, and we need an a
sap because that's where all the drama is. One thing
Donald Trump know how to do is start up a
storyline because, as y'all see, when he wants to use
your voice, he uses it. When he wants to use
your voice in another way, he uses it. I don't

(16:25):
know I'm feeling the real husbands of the White House.
I don't know how y'all are feeling, or the real
girls at the White House, because.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
It's very catty.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
This gives like this is bitter baby mama energy. Okay,
and im prob I expect more of the man who
is in my White House. But again, he also left
out a lot of words in this truth social post.
He also left out a lot of grammar in the
true social posts. He also left out a lot of
like common sense in this truth social post.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
So what do we expect now if I'm taking it
to the streets in the tweets.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
You call the Drews. We outside, we outside, we outside
every other page. I told y'all that I posted this
as news. Make sure you guys are following me everywhere.
It's Laura la Rosa everywhere and Laura the Rosa iconic
on TikTok. I do things that get the people going
online as well as far as posting my stories, I know,
and when I do it, I don't do it to

(17:17):
you know, get into the Trump of all of the things,
like I'm not trying to incite no riots, you know,
I'm just trying to cause good conversation because that's what
we do here at the Latest, right. So when I
posted this, I simply said hey, and I tagged Charlemagne
Donald Trump is mad at you. And then I said,
you know, Trump is taking shot, said Charlemagne, a god

(17:38):
via True Social following a Fox newsit down that he did.
We are currently at almost twenty thousand views, and that's like,
I literally just did this so it'll it'll go bigger.
But man, people are going crazy. So you chay, I
believe that's how you say you. Chase said, quick, somebody
send Trump a book on the five percent lesson since
he's so confused about someone using the god Moniker and

(18:00):
then someone else. Yeah, I'm Stacy said, but yet he
used Charlotte for his campaign, ran paid ads with him,
in Envy's words, to manipulate his fan base fraud. Woke
in present on X said what makes him low IQ?
Talking about Charlemagne? What makes him a low IQ individual?
Did Trump see his IQ results from the IQ test
that he took or is it simply because he's black? Well,

(18:23):
let me tell you something, Woke in present Charlemagne is
a little slow. But I don't think that Trump has
seen an IQ test. I think Charlemagne just wanted to
throw something at him to get him going, because again,
nothing was low IQ when he was using that ad
to help him get seated where he is right now.
It's just so funny to me when people like to
act like they don't understand the power of black voice,

(18:46):
the power of certain individuals. There was a list going
of black men that the black community did not want
to see talk about politics anymore. It was like, a
these people don't stand for us, so stop inviting them
on your platform. And Charlemagne was one of the people.
I don't agree with that. And it's not just because
I work at the Breakfast Club. This is something that
even prior to it was very clear to see that

(19:08):
in a political space, when you're talking black voice, there
are talking heggs, which is why a Biden comes on
the Breakfast Club, and not even just talking heads, but
black spaces. There is no space right now in media
that is as mass, as wide ranging, as big, as diverse,
in as long running as the Breakfast Club. I challenge

(19:30):
you guys, right if you can find a media platform
that reaches as many people, that covers as many wide
range topics, that has engagement in the numbers that the
Breakfast Club does, the guests, in the intersection between culture,
hip hop, politics, all the things. If you can find
a show that does it, tweet me at me, y'all know, I'd.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Be outside in the streets and in the tweets.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I want to know, because when people criticize platforms like
the Breakfast Club and then moments like this happen I'm like,
do we.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Actually black people? Do we not see why we should
champion what we have?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
So like, if your issue is that the breakfast club
doesn't always have all the information, say that. Don't say, hey,
breakfast club should no longer exist, because obviously Donald Trump
sees the beauty in the goldness in a Charlomagne to
God in a breakfast club.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
So it does, Lord Trump. They don't look like us.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
But that list that I'm talking to you about that
didn't come from a person that looks like them. You
came from a person that looks like us. Y'all see
where I'm gting at. So I'm a head on out
right now because I'm sure you guys are already pretty mad.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
But make sure you guys tune in at the end
of the day.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I tell you guys all the time, there's always so
much that we could be talking about, and y'all could
be anywhere with anybody talking about it, but y'all choose
to be right here with me when you do it.
And I'm always so grateful for you, guys, my lowriders.
Make sure you guys tune in for my next episode.
I had a lot playing today and then Trump decided
to wake up and I don't know Charlotte must didn't

(20:57):
paid Chadlesea for a long time. I don't know what's
going down, but baby, it got the pot going. I
will see you guys in the next episode with the more,
it's always the latest with Lorna Rosa
