Charlamagne Tha God revealed on Friday that an unnamed source told him that former President Trump’s recent appearance on a podcast was going to get him elected.
A key component of Trump’s media strategy this election has been doing interviews on podcasts to attract young male voters. One appearance that garnered many headlines was Trump’s interview last week on the “Flagrant” podcast hosted by comedian Andrew Schultz.
“Breakfast Club” radio show co-host Charlamagne later spoke candidly with Schultz on their shared “Brilliant Idiots” podcast, saying he heard a reaction so critical that he had to keep the person’s name a secret.
“A young, black man, about 20 years old, I won’t mention his name. I should say his name… He comes to me this morning, he turns to me, he says, ‘Flagrant is going to get Trump elected,'” Charlamagne said.
“The interview was great, man, I don’t know what to tell you,” Schultz said, laughing.
Charlamagne and Schultz discussed how Trump’s irreverent humor contrasts sharply with that of Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Schultz argued is afraid of losing the advantage she believes she has. Is.
Charlamagne said, “There’s nothing about the polling numbers we’re seeing right now that makes anyone feel like he’s got this,” and when compared to Hillary in 2016, he responded, “I keep telling people this campaign feels more important.” Obama-ish compared to Hillary-ish—Obama compared to ’08-ish.
During the interview on “Flagrant”, Trump irritated the hosts several times with his vulgar humor, such as when he joked that Biden had an advantage over him.
“He has an ability I don’t have – he sleeps,” Trump said. “He can sleep! This guy goes to the beach, and he lies down on one of those 6-ounce (chairs). He weighs 6 ounces, and he can’t lift it. They are for the raising of children, youth and old people. They’re aluminum, you know, hollow aluminum, they weigh very little, and he can’t lift.
He later joked, “Someone convinced him he looked good in a bathing suit, and when you’re 82, bathing suits generally don’t make you look good.”
On The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne recently criticized the messaging strategy of the Harris-Walz campaign, arguing that her comments about global politics are “very out of touch with what’s going on in America.”
That’s a far cry from Trump and his running mate JD Vance, he said, who are “talking about what’s happening here at home and saying things like that.” ‘America First’ And ‘Make America Great Again’, that message sometimes resonates too much.
Then he corrected himself, saying, “Not sometimes, the impact is too great.”
