Charlamagne tells Democrats to give up and end the government shutdown, laments ‘you lost the fight’
As the American people began to feel the effects of the government shutdown, radio host Charlamagne tha God urged Democrats to throw in the towel and give them some relief.
During Monday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne argued that Democrats seem to be fighting in a shutdown stalemate over issues that have already been lost.
“The healthcare is going to go up anyway because of the ‘big beautiful bill’ because that didn’t include the extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down. So, if it’s going up anyway, what’s the point of Democrats taking the stand to keep the government still closed?” he said.

Frequent contributor Mimi Brown agreed, noting that people have already been getting letters in the mail about changing healthcare premiums.
“And the premiums are set for a year,” Charlamagne continued. “So at this point, if the premiums have already gone up, if they’re set for a year, at least give the people some relief and get the government back open.”
Charlamagne went on to appeal to Democrats directly, demanding they end the shutdown to bring back programs like SNAP.
“Democrats, you fought. It seems like you lost the fight. At this point, you know, go on and give it up,” he said. “At least give the people some relief by getting the government back open. Let these people get these SNAP benefits. Let these government workers get their checks. We don’t need all this craziness at the TSA during the holidays. Like, I think you lost… I feel like they lost, it’s over.'”
“It seems like [a] pride thing, now,” co-host DJ Envy suggested.
