Charlamagne Gives Trump Donkey Of The Day After $1.8B Taxpayer Fund Is Set For 'Anti-Weaponization'

[0:00] donkey today for Tuesday, May 19th [0:02] goes to President Donald J. Trump. Listen, [0:03] my name is Lenard McKelvey, commonly known as [0:05] Charlemagne Tha God. I am an American citizen [0:07] and I reserve the right to criticize every elected [0:10] official in this country. Okay, Democrat [0:12] or Republican because we have the right [0:14] to and when you see blatant corruption [0:15] happening in this country at our expense [0:18] you gotta ring the alarm about it. Okay, see [0:20] I don't know if you heard but the Justice Department [0:22] on yesterday announced [0:24] the creation of a nearly $1.8 [0:26] billion fund [0:27] to compensate President Donald [0:30] Trump's allies who claim they were [0:32] unfairly targeted by the Biden [0:34] administration. Basically, the president is [0:36] able to pay his supporters from [0:38] a government agency he controls [0:40] with taxpayer money. If [0:42] you are a Trump supporter who feels like [0:44] you are politically targeted by the justice [0:46] system, you can submit a claim [0:48] it doesn't matter if it was from the Russia collusion [0:50] investigation to the nearly 1,600 [0:52] people who committed an insurrection in this country [0:54] you might be entitled to compensation [0:56] and the compensation is coming from we [0:58] the taxpayers. Does this apply [1:00] to the 33 people who participated in [1:02] the Capitol riots who were pardoned [1:04] or had their sentences commuted but got [1:06] rearrested, got charged, got convicted [1:08] for new crimes? Are they eligible to get [1:10] some of our money? Okay, it's bad [1:11] enough they got pardoned for trying to [1:14] overthrow the results of an election [1:15] but now we gotta pay them? Even though [1:17] they got pardoned and some of them [1:19] committed new crimes? America, I don't [1:22] care what your race is, I don't care [1:23] what your party is, there is no way on [1:25] God's green earth that we can be okay with this [1:27] I know America loves a good scam [1:28] okay, this country was built on pyramid schemes [1:31] all right, we live in an era where folks [1:33] will get on a podcast and convince you [1:35] to refinance your house to buy crypto [1:37] but using taxpayer dollars to create a [1:40] 1.7 billion dollar fund for your political [1:42] allies? Do you understand how insane that [1:44] sounds? Okay, Americans out here [1:46] arguing over student loan forgiveness [1:49] and Medicaid cuts, affordable housing [1:52] and whether teachers deserve raises [1:53] but we gotta sit back and watch Trump [1:55] and his friends rob us of money that [1:58] should be used for us? Okay, taxpayer [2:02] dollars should be used for social [2:04] security and Medicare and Medicaid and [2:06] national defense and keeping your local [2:08] community running. Okay, that's what [2:10] taxpayer dollars are supposed to be for. [2:12] People out here getting denied food [2:13] assistance, veterans who fought for this [2:16] country are fighting for health care, [2:18] public school teachers are doing GoFundMes [2:20] GoFundMes for pencils and other basic [2:23] supplies. You got libraries closing because [2:25] it cuts the federal budgets but you are [2:27] using billions of dollars and taxpayer [2:29] money, money that should be used to fund [2:32] essential services at the federal, state, and [2:35] local levels for a political reimbursement [2:37] program. Let's be clear, President Trump [2:39] is just paying his goons. Okay, this is [2:41] incentive for his goons to do his bidding [2:44] again if he needs them to. Okay, you get a [2:47] pardon and cash in your pocket? What are they [2:50] going to storm next? Voting booths in the [2:52] midterms perhaps? This is why people hate [2:54] government. Okay, you're taking money from [2:56] people struggling to pay rent, buy groceries [2:59] and survive inflation which has surged under [3:02] the Trump administration by the way. Okay, [3:03] it's at its highest level in three years. You [3:05] are taking taxpayer dollars and redirecting [3:08] it to people who are connected to political [3:10] power. This is why people get cynical about [3:12] politics because the rules always seem [3:14] different depending on who you are and who [3:17] you're aligned with. And when you have a [3:18] president like Donald J. Trump who doesn't [3:20] even pretend to care. Okay, that's what we [3:24] have in the White House right now. A [3:25] president like Donald J. Trump who doesn't [3:27] even pretend to care. Do you remember last [3:30] week when President Trump said, and I quote, [3:32] I don't think about Americans' financial [3:34] situations. I don't think about anybody. I [3:37] think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have [3:39] a nuclear weapon. That's what he said in [3:40] regards to the Iran war. He told you he [3:42] doesn't care about your financial situation. [3:44] Well, he was on Fox News with Brett [3:46] Baer and he doubled down. Let's listen. [3:55] The only thing that matters is that I'm talking [3:57] about Iran. They can't have a nuclear [3:59] weapon. I don't think about American [4:02] financial situation. I don't think [4:04] about anybody. I think about one thing. [4:06] You cannot let Iran have a nuclear [4:08] weapon. That's all. That's right. [4:10] That's a perfect statement. I'd make it [4:11] again. You can imagine how many [4:13] people stop the soundbite at, I don't think, about [4:17] America's financial situation. So what's [4:20] your response to that framework? It's very [4:21] simple. When people hear me [4:24] say it, everybody agrees. Short-term pain. [4:28] It's going to be short-term pain. But the pain [4:30] is much less than people thought. [4:32] Two things can be true. Iran doesn't [4:34] need to have a nuclear weapon, but you as [4:36] the president of the United States of America [4:38] have to care about America's financial [4:40] situation. That's the whole point of being a [4:42] president. I would think that a president [4:43] can multitask, okay? Especially a president [4:46] that told you he was going to fix the [4:48] economy on day one. He told you that he [4:50] won the election based off one word, [4:53] groceries. But he never cared if you [4:55] actually could afford any, okay? Actions [4:57] will always speak louder than words. Actions [4:59] will always tell you what politicians [5:01] value more than rhetoric does. And everyone [5:04] sitting around waiting for this golden age [5:07] to happen, it's not. Okay? Not for you [5:10] anyway. For him and his family, his [5:12] allies, oh, they getting fat while you [5:14] starve, okay? And that's why our taxpayer [5:17] dollars going to this weaponization fund [5:19] to compensate his allies should piss you [5:22] off, okay? You should be outraged. You [5:24] should actually be in the street protesting [5:26] against this, okay? Not only is it [5:29] corrupt, it is a blatant slap in the face [5:31] to the economic hardships you folks are [5:34] facing, okay? Trump told you he don't care [5:36] what you're going through financially, all [5:38] right? He's not even acting like he sees [5:41] what you're going through, all right? He's [5:43] not even, he's not even detached from [5:45] people's economic struggles. He just [5:47] doesn't care, all right? He's pushing for [5:50] financial windfalls for his allies, his [5:53] family, not you. And we wonder why people [5:56] get radicalized in this country. This is [5:58] how Batman becomes Batman, okay? This is [6:00] how Daredevil becomes Daredevil. This is [6:02] the vigilante origin story, people. Play [6:04] Tupac, please. You have to be logical, you [6:07] know? If I know that in this hotel room [6:10] they have food every day, and I'm knocked [6:13] on the door every day to eat, and they [6:15] tell, and they open the door, let me see [6:17] the party, let me see, like, them throwing [6:19] salami all over the opportunity. I mean, [6:21] just, like, throwing food around where they're [6:23] telling me there's no food in here, you [6:25] know what I'm saying? Every day, I'm [6:27] standing outside trying to sing my way in, [6:29] you know what I'm saying? After a year, you [6:31] just, like, you know what I'm saying? I'm [6:32] picking the lock, coming through the door, [6:34] blasting, you know what I'm saying? It's like, you [6:36] hungry, you reached your level, you don't want [6:37] anymore. We asked 10 years ago that those [6:39] people that were asking, they're all dead and [6:41] in jail. So now, what do you think we're [6:43] gonna do? It's just common sense, okay? If [6:45] you're the President of the United States, and you [6:47] openly sound unconcerned about people's [6:49] financial pain while using taxpayer dollars for [6:52] political priorities, don't be shocked when [6:55] Americans start wondering who government is [6:57] really working for, and then proceed to tear this [7:00] government apart.
