Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Callaroga Shark Media from Washington, DC, where Trump is taken
on Charlemagne, this is ballot. How do I get Trump
to get mad at my show? I could use the
promotions you suck at golf Pal. I'm Patrick Gutfield and
President Trump had some thoughts about radio host Charlemagne the

(00:24):
God this weekend, And by some thoughts, I mean he
went full Twitter tantrum mode on truth social Here's what happened.
Charlemagne went on Laura Trump's Fox News show. Yes, the
President's daughter in law has her own show now, which
is totally normal and not at all nepotistic. Charlemagne suggested

(00:44):
that traditional Republicans might use the Jeffrey Epstein files to
wrestle control back from the MAGA crowd. Now you'd think
Trump would maybe ignore this or respond with some dignity,
but no, this is Donald Trump. We're talking about the
man who won. Stared directly into a solar eclipse, decided
the best course of action was to call a radio

(01:05):
host a sleezebag. On social media. Trump wrote that Charlemagne
is a low IQ individual who has no idea what
words are coming out of his mouth, which is rich
coming from the guy who once suggested injecting bleach to
cure COVID. But sure, let's talk about knowing what words
are coming out of your mouth. The President then went

(01:26):
on this bizarre tangent about ending five wars, including something
about a thirty one year bloodbath between the Republic of
the Congo and Rwanda where seven million people died. I mean,
that's quite a pivot from radio host hurt my feelings
to but I stopped international conflicts. And here's my favorite part.
Trump actually questioned why Charlemagne is allowed to use the

(01:48):
word God in his name. Can you imagine being so
petty that you're gatekeeping the word God? The man who
literally had the White House post a photo of him
dressed as the pope is now the relation religious naming police.
The whole thing started because Charlemagne suggested traditional conservatives might
use the Epstein files to take back the Republican Party.

(02:10):
And honestly, watching Trump's reaction, you have to wonder if
Charlemagne might be onto something there. Now, what would actually
be in these files? According to former FBI agents, we're
talking about witness interviews. One former prosecutor said it could
be an enormous universe of original documents and the current
universe were getting two witnesses who testified before grand juries.

(02:32):
That's it. Two people. The administration's argument against releasing the
files is that it could unfairly tie third parties to
Epstein's alleged crimes, which fair point. There are probably plenty
of people who just went to Epstein's parties for the
fancy appetizers and awkward small talk, not knowing what else
was going on, and one of those third parties might

(02:54):
like casinos and firing people. But here's where it gets interesting.
Trump I hoartedly found out in May that he's named
multiple times in these files. And suddenly the administration that
promised unprecedented transparency is moving slower than a Windows ninety
five computer trying to load the Internet. Meanwhile, the conspiracy

(03:15):
theories keep swirling, and the longer the administration delays, the
more people think they're hiding something significant. At this point,
the files could contain nothing but Epstein's grocery lists, and
people would still think there's a cover up. Yahoo reports
a story that proves revenge is a dish best served

(03:36):
with proper paperwork. Tia McCreary bought a used Kia from
Taylor Kia of Lima, Ohio. A month later, they repossessed
it when her loan fell through. Most people would just
cry into their cereal and move on with their lives,
but not Tia. This woman discovered that Taylor Kia of
Lima had forgotten to renew their business name registration with
the state of Ohio. So she did what any reasonable

(03:58):
person would do. She registered the name herself and then
sent them a cease and desist letter. That's right, she
basically told a car dealership, you can't sit with us anymore.
Think about this for a second. The dealership took her car,
so she took their name. That's not just revenge. That's
bureaucratic poetry in motion. Can you imagine the dealership staff meeting, Well, team,

(04:21):
we've got good news and bad news. The good news
is we successfully repossessed a car. The bad news is
we accidentally gave away our entire business identity to the
customer we screwed over. This is like if Netflix forgot
to renew their trademark and suddenly your neighbor Steve owned
the rights to stream movies under the Netflix name. Portions

released the Epstein files. You cowered
