Charlamagne Tha God appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night and gave a lively interview that covered topics ranging from anxiety to the state of politics in the United States. The New York Times bestselling author and co-host of The Breakfast Club did not hold back his opinions, starting with his belief that the Supreme Court is no longer a legitimate institution.
Charlamagne expressed his concerns about recent Supreme Court rulings, including the legalization of bribery for public officials and the granting of presidential immunity. He argued that these decisions undermine the integrity of the Court and raise doubts about the upcoming election. He questioned whether our democracy is healthy enough to ensure a free and fair election in November, especially if the outcome is challenged and ends up before the Supreme Court.
When asked about toning down the rhetoric in politics, Charlamagne pointed out that the political violence we see today is a direct result of the inflammatory rhetoric that has been spewed by Donald Trump since 2016. He stressed the importance of condemning political violence while also acknowledging the impact of rhetoric on the current climate. Charlamagne criticized the media for shifting the focus away from these issues and urged for a more honest conversation about the environment of political violence in the country.
Switching gears, Charlamagne also discussed his new book, “Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks.” He shared his dislike for small talk, describing it as the thin end of the wedge in conversations. He challenged the notion that small talk is necessary for social lubrication, arguing that it often distracts from more important topics. Charlamagne believes that we should focus more on discussing macro issues rather than getting stuck in micro conversations.
Overall, Charlamagne Tha God‘s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was thought-provoking and entertaining.
