'Maybe we just need to switch parties': Radio show caller goes viral after saying Democrats have failed black voters



A caller on a New York City radio station is making waves for his comments claiming Democrats do not fulfill their promises to black people in the United States,

During an episode of "The Breakfast Club," the extremely popular hip-hop radio show in New York, a caller took his chance to convince black Americans to demand more from their politicians.

"Man, I just want to say, bro, that [we're] not a monolith. Black people think by themselves," the caller began.

"I feel like, at the end of the day, why we lost, I feel like it's the Democratic Party is the reason why we lost, man," he continued. "They promised us and promised us and promised us, but we never get nothing in return, man. And it's a new day and a new age, and I feel like as black people, we should now demand everything we want before we give up our vote, man."

'Maybe we just need to switch parties now or maybe do something different.'

The caller then suggested during the "Get It Off Your Chest" segment that black Americans need to stop settling for "crumbs" from Democrats.

"We've been sitting around too long and just giving, getting the crumbs. But now we need everything we ask for," the caller went on. "Maybe it's a good thing that Trump did win, because we can see if he really piggybacked off of [Barack] Obama's economy. Can he come bring us out of this economy?" he asked.

The caller added that if President Trump does spur an economic recovery, it's time for black Americans to reconsider their votes.

"Maybe we just need to switch parties now or maybe do something different. That's how I feel."

According to Fox News, exit polling has shown that Trump performed better with black voters compared to previous elections with 16% support, a four-point gain over 2020. However, this included 24% support from black men, which is double the number who voted Republican when Trump was up against President Biden.

Power 105.1 radio host Charlamagne responded to the caller by saying those who voted for Trump need to "push him to do what he promised he was going to do."

"If [the economy] doesn't trickle down to the least of us, then it doesn't matter," the host continued.

In another clip of the show posted to X, the host rhetorically asked why so many commentators have seemingly stopped calling Trump and Republicans fascist since he was elected.

"Don't y'all find it strange that now that he’s won, they’re not calling him a threat to democracy? They’re not calling him a fascist? ... It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics," he theorized.

Chris Cuomo breaks silence on his 'embarrassing' indefinite suspension: CNN has 'a process that they think is important, and I respect that process'



CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday broke his silence about his indefinite suspension from the cable network, noting that while he's "embarrassed" he understands that CNN has "a process that they think is important, and I respect that process," Fox News reported.

What are the details?

"Hey everybody, it’s Chris Cuomo, let’s get after it, quick note, the obvious, I’ve been suspended from CNN," Cuomo said during his SiriusXM radio show, Fox News said.

Cuomo continued: "You know this already. It hurts to even say it; it’s embarrassing, but I understand it, and I understand why some people feel the way they do about what I did. I’ve apologized in the past, and I mean it; [...] the last thing I ever wanted to do was compromise any of my colleagues and do anything but help."

He concluded, "I know they have a process that they think is important, and I respect that process, so I’m not going to talk about this anymore than that," Fox News reported.

What's the background?

His suspension, announced Tuesday, came after New York Attorney General Letitia James' damaging report outlining the suspended anchor's extensive involvement in helping his older brother — former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — battle sexual harassment allegations.

CNN's statement regarding Cuomo's suspension came through the cable network's chief media correspondent Brian Stelter:

The New York Attorney General's office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo's involvement in his brother's defense. The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions. When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly. But we appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second. However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew. As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation.

Among the released transcripts from the AG's investigation was an acknowledgement from Chris Cuomo that he had been asked to use his contacts as a CNN anchor to find out more about the allegations against his older brother.

"I would — when asked, I would reach out to sources, other journalists, to see if they had heard of anybody else coming out," Cuomo said, according to the transcripts.

Cuomo's admission in the newly released testimony also contradicted what he told CNN viewers in August when he claimed, "I never made calls to the press about my brother's situation," Fox News said.

Stelter has speculated that Cuomo could return to the cable network as early as January, but a spokesman told Fox News Digital that nothing will be definite until the review has been completed.

Rush Limbaugh's radio time slot to be taken over by Dan Bongino



Conservative commentator Dan Bongino will take over Rush Limbaugh's radio time slot, Fox News reported, citing a Wednesday announcement from Cumulus Media's Westwood One.

What are the details?

Starting May 24, "The Dan Bongino Show" will broadcast 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET in markets around the country, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., the cable network said.

"The Dan Bongino Show will tackle the hot political issues, debunking both liberal and Republican establishment rhetoric," a press release noted, Fox News said. "As a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, Bongino is uniquely positioned to provide commentary and analysis that directly questions the philosophical underpinnings of both the Left and Big Government Republicans."

Bongino is a Fox News contributor and has his own daily podcast, which has become wildly popular. He said he is "excited to embrace the immense power of radio to connect with my listeners live for three hours every day. This is an incredible privilege, and I pledge to honor the trailblazing work of those who came before me," the cable network said.

"Dan is passionate and relatable, with a natural ability to connect with his audience," Westwood One President Suzanne Grimes said in a statement, according to Fox News. "Dan has been on a meteoric rise since his podcast launched in 2019, and we look forward to watching his star continue to soar."

Limbaugh, the iconic voice of the conservative movement, lost his battle with lung cancer in February at the age of 70 after receiving a Stage 4 diagnosis in January 2020.

Bongino was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in September, Fox News said. But he announced last week that he completed his treatments and has been given a clean bill of health.

Following Limbaugh's passing, Bongino appeared on "Fox & Friends" and praised the conservative radio icon: "Every conservative I know, everyone has had that Rush Limbaugh moment where they were listening and heard an idea for the first time ever."
