Starting point is 00:00:00 It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. Hee-haw. Donkey of the Day. Breakfast Club, bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Yes, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, August 29th goes to Vavik Ramaswamy. Did I say his name right? Doesn't sound right, but go ahead. Vavik Ramaswamy. Vavik is a businessman and a 2024 presidential candidate. He's been a guest here on The Breakfast Club. It always makes me chuckle when I see businessmen running for president because depending on what type of candidate you are,
Starting point is 00:00:40 you could possibly be jeopardizing your business, okay? Maybe he don't care because he's made all his money and he's in the pharmaceutical industry, so it's not like folks can just say no to what he's selling but he also writes books and stuff that folks don't have to buy i don't know it just boggles my mind when folks like vavik who claim to be businessmen piss people off for all the wrong reasons when i say all the wrong reasons i mean i don't have a problem if the absolute truth pisses somebody off but it has to be the truth, not something subjective, not an outright lie. But the truth, I'm all for that because the truth will set you free.
Starting point is 00:01:10 But first, it will piss you off. Vavik isn't doing any truth telling. Zero. He's just pissing people off. See, Vavik is just out here lying and making false equivalencies. His first lie that he said recently is that white supremacy doesn't exist. Listen. I'm sure the I'm sure the boogeyman
Starting point is 00:01:25 white supremacist exists somewhere in america i've just never met him never seen one never met one in my life right maybe i'll meet a uh maybe i'll meet a unicorn sooner and maybe those exist too i'm not letting that disturb my peace i don't even have to acknowledge why that is a lie okay in fact i'll just show you because not not not 24 hours later one of the latest mass shootings in this country i don't want to say the latest i'll say one of the latest because one might have happened yesterday or this morning that i don't know about but a white gunman 21 years old named ryan christopher palmetto armed with a handgun in the ar-15 with swastikas all over them into the dollar store in jacksonville and killed three black people before taking his own life i wish he
Starting point is 00:02:04 would have just started with himself all right this guy left three manifestos behind and in every single one of them he detailed his bigotry and hatred of black people okay uh bavique the boogeyman white supremacist that you said you never met you never seen here's another one ryan christopher palmetto now even after this shooting bavique still insisted white supremacy is not a thing he was on cnn state of the union this sunday and he said this But I was responding to a question where someone asked me, what racism have I experienced in recent years? And I answered honestly, most of that racism has come from the modern left. It's happening during the course of this campaign.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Kara Swisher calling me Rama Smarmy the other day and reveling in making twists of my last name. People effectively reducing me to the color of my skin and my attributes that comes today from the modern left. So he's acknowledging white supremacy does exist and racism does exist is just coming from the left. I don't understand why people wanna make this political thing. I don't understand why he would lie and say most racism has come from the modern left. According to a report done by the ADL, all U.S. extremist mass killings in 2022 were linked to the far right. Whether it was the racially motivated mass shooting in Buffalo or the mass shooting at the LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, they were all linked to the far right. The FBI says that white supremacists are the number one domestic threat.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Far right terror is what they call it. The FBI says far-right terror poses bigger threats to the U.S. than Islamist extremists post 9-11. Vivek Ramaswamy is simply a liar. Okay, and I understand why you like using Eminem's Lose Yourself. Great record. Terrence Crawford used it to perfection when he cleaned Earl Spence up, but the song is about losing yourself in the moment, having one chance, one opportunity, and not wasting it. You, wasting it you vivic are just lost okay i don't care how much
Starting point is 00:03:49 money you got any minority who tries to act like white supremacy doesn't exist in order to appease white people in order to win white people over is a devil damn fool okay vivic you can't say white supremacy doesn't exist just because you haven't experienced it all right there's women out here who've never experienced orgasms that don't mean they don't exist is that what you would tell your woman bevec if you couldn't make her orgasm huh leg up hitting it from the back bong bong bong one arm on neck one arm on frontal okay frontal off if she couldn't experience climax would you tell her it's because orgasms don't exist why you being weird to me do I need to give you more examples. I'll give you one more. But Vic, just because Magic Johnson hasn't experienced signs of...
Starting point is 00:04:32 You know what? Never mind. Please let Remy Ma give a Vic Ramaswamy the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother are you dumb? Yes. I don't know where you was going, but thank God you stopped. I stopped myself. Yes, thank you. I thought about it. That was going, but thank God you stopped. I stopped myself. Yes, thank you. I thought about it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 That was really good. I thought about it. Excellent. Thank you. I don't say so myself. Thank you, Mona. All right. I was waiting for a text from one of the producers.
Starting point is 00:04:55 All right, so let's open up the phone lines. First and foremost, BET, we'll see you guys later. Peace, BET. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Lamisoff. Don't be a donkey. Dial pound 250 on your cell and say the bull if you've been hurt in a construction accident. That's pound 250 from your cell and say the bull.
