And so we are in a state of emergency.

Charlamagne Tha God (0:24)

Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

The Breakfast Club, bitches!

Alright, Charlamagne, please tell me, why was I your Donkey of the Day?

Donkey of the Day, for Wednesday, November 4th, goes to Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans. If you're just joining us on this planet, yesterday was election day, and America sent Donald Trump and the MAGA movement a message, and that message is simple. Your services are no longer needed. Okay, Democrats took back the House and the Senate, dropping the clues bonds for the Democrats. Okay, they won Senate races in places I never thought was possible. Alright, Texas, South Carolina, Kansas, okay, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina. Can you imagine Texas, South Carolina, Kansas? Okay, I'm South Carolina born and raised, 8-4-3 all day. I campaigned for Jamie Harrison when he ran for Senate. I executive produced his documentary In the Bubble when he ran against Lindsey Graham, and he raised the most money and had endorsements from the state newspaper and he still lost. So I didn't think Annie Andrews had a chance, but the voters said otherwise. Now I'm not here to say MAGA is officially dead, but I know what we witnessed last night, felt like a political funeral. Okay. And Donald Trump, you cannot distance yourself from these results because you told people to treat this election like you were on the ballot. Well, congratulations, sir, they did. Okay. This was a referendum on 10 years of MAGA politics. All right. Don't just look at the last couple of years. Think about what we felt the last decade for 10 years. Donald Trump has been promising to make America great again. Lower prices, better jobs, more money in your pocket, safer communities, no more endless wars. 10 years later, people are still struggling to afford groceries, their rent, their housing, their health care, gas prices are hurting families, and we're in a war with Iran. At some point, people stop listening to what you're promising and start paying attention to what they're actually experiencing. And I believe that's what happened yesterday. Republicans spent years telling Americans to be afraid of Democrats. They're woke, they're radical, they're socialists. The trans-asoruses are coming to eat your children. Meanwhile, Americans are looking at their bills, wondering how they're going to make it to the next paycheck. You can't pay your mortgage with a culture war. And this is where Democrats deserve some credit. I, for the first time that I can remember, have so much faith in the Democratic candidates all across the party. From Dr. Abdul Sayed to Kishin Lance Bottoms, from Josh Shapiro to Wes Moore, from Tyler Rico to even people who lost, like Angie Nixon.

Dems stopped talking about culture wars and started talking about affordability, healthcare, housing, public safety, and the issues people deal with every day. Progressives won, moderates won, Democrats with different political philosophies won all across the board. So maybe the lesson isn't that Democrats have to abandon their principles. Maybe it's that they have to stop letting Republicans dictate what the conversation is about. But here's why I need Democrats to pay close attention. Don't get comfortable because a Democrat victory is not proof that they've earned lasting trust. Americans rejected MAGA and Republicans, but that doesn't automatically mean they trust Democrats. I don't want to hear another two years of Democrats telling us how dangerous Donald Trump is. We know that.

That's why there was such a rebuke of Trump last night. We know he's dangerous. That's why y'all won. I have one question.

What the F are you going to do with the power that we the people just gave you Democrats? You got the House, you got the Senate. So come January, I want to see an actual agenda. What's your plan to lower housing costs? Are you going to build more affordable housing? What about healthcare? Are you going to fight the lower premiums, protect Medicaid? Are you going to stop Americans from growing broke because they got sick? What about wages? Okay, people are working two and three jobs and still can't afford to live. What are you going to do to make sure a full time job can actually support a family? And while we're at it, what about all this corruption we've seen? Are we going to get real investigations in the conflicts of interests, government contracts and politicians using public office to enrich themselves? I hope so. Okay.
