Comedian podcaster breaks free from Trump 'cult' after betrayal
Share and Follow

Podcaster and comedian Andrew Schulz went viral with a rant against President Donald Trump for not making public the ‘list’ of clients linked to financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

During their Flagrant podcast, Schulz and his co-host Akaash Singh began by delving into the major controversy of the week: how the administration has managed the Epstein documentation.

They drew parallels between their experiences with online critics calling them ‘idiots’ and ‘bad Americans,’ and the criticism Trump faces from his MAGA supporters over his unfulfilled Epstein-related commitments.

Earlier in the week, Schulz and his crew wore tin-foil hats on their show as they criticized the president’s failure to keep his promises to release the Epstein list, get out of foreign wars and cut spending. 

Trump recently bombed Iran’s nuclear sites and also got his signature big, beautiful bill passed which is estimated to add $3.4 trillion to the national deficit. 

‘I voted for none of this. He is doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop wars, he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget, he’s increasing it,’ Schulz said. 

The comedian had hosted Trump on his podcast in October in the weeks leading to the election despite backlash at the time.

But now he’s admitting he’s disappointed by Trump’s actions in his second term.

‘I wanted something different. I was hoping for some sort of change,’ he said, but he then defied anyone who tried to recruit them in their political camp. 

‘I just want to let you all right now, I’m in neither one of your f**king cults if you want me to be in your cults you can go f**k all, I’m not a Dem cult, I’m not a Republican cult, I’m a free American I’ll make my own f**king decisions, and I’ll say what ever the f**k I want about whatever president is in power,’ Schulz said.

During the campaign, Schulz and his podcast crew went viral for their hilarious interview with Trump as he detailed how he used ‘the weave’ to respond to questions and revealed how he came up with snappy nicknames for his opponents.

The pair of hosts mocked Democratic critics who accused them of helping the president win simply by sitting down with him for an interview during the campaign and ‘humanizing’ him. 

 ‘You just wanna take no accountability for the fact that you ran a dead guy and a woman that couldn’t speak,’ Schulz said, referring to former President Joe Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris respectively. 

Both hosts reminded their audience they were not surprised that a politician appeared on their show and did not keep his promises.

Schulz said he wanted Trump to do three things, stop the endless wars, stop government spending into oblivion, and to release the Epstein files.

‘If Trump did one of the things, yeah. We would’ve been happy,’ he said. ‘Unfortunately the only one he chose was the immigration one, the one we were not that enthusiastic about.’

When they spoke with Trump during the campaign about their distaste for his promise to deport all illegal immigrants, Trump famously promised them he would start with criminals.

Schulz said he did not regret his vote for Trump, but was disappointed with the results.

‘Yeah. So he’s done nothing on those fronts in terms of the promises he made us. But I don’t regret it at all,’ he said. ‘I don’t even regret voting for him at all. Because what you see is all these Democrats that are starting to take up the issues that he was the one campaigning on.’

The hosts noted that the White House responded to Schulz by name in a statement to Fox News, and trumpeted their newfound influence.

‘Andrew Schulz knows life is far better in President Trump’s America than it would have been under a weak and incompetent President Harris. As a guest on the Flagrant podcast, millions of listeners heard the President lay out his vision for America, and many voted in support of it—that’s exactly what President Trump is successfully executing. Name the issue, and the President is solving it. From the border to Biden’s inflation to fostering world peace—the results speak for themselves,’ White House spokesman Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital last week.

‘It was the dumbest thing that the White House has ever done. I just wanna point that out, never respond to us,’ Schulz joked.

They joked that in the future, they would demand a statement from the White House every time they had something critical to say about Trump.

‘Listen, something we say now, we expect an immediate response from the White House. Yeah. A precedent has been set. If we talk about the White House, they fu**ing respond,’ Schulz laughed.

Schulz welcomed former Obama White House aides Tommy Vietor and Jon Favreau from the podcast Pod Save America on the show to talk about politics, indicating it was more important than ever to talk to the other side of the political aisle.

They also welcomed Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna on the show to talk about his proposed Congressional amendment that would release all of the redacted Epstein files.   

Schulz said he would continue to criticize political figures and say what he thought when it came to politics.  

‘When people fail us and fail us on the promises that they make, we should criticize them. Like what is the alternative? We just vote and then agree with every single thing that person does?’ he asked. ‘You know, so it’s like, and you should hold the elected officials accountable. And we live in this like weird time where any measure to hold them accountable comes with immediate criticism.’
