‘The interview was fire, bro, I don’t know what to tell you’ Andrew Schulz said of his ‘Flagrant’ Trump interview

Tha God revealed on Friday that an anonymous source told him
that former President Trump’s appearance on a recent podcast
was going to get him elected.
A
key component of Trump’s media strategy this election has
been doing interviews on podcasts to appeal to young male
voters. One appearance that made numerous headlines was Trump’s
interview on the “Flagrant” podcast, hosted
by comedian Andrew Schulz, last week.
“Breakfast
Club” radio show co-host Charlamagne spoke candidly with
Schulz afterward on their shared “Brilliant Idiots” podcast,
saying he heard one response so significant he had to keep
the person’s name secret.
“A
young, Black man, 20-something years old, I’m not gonna say
his name. I should say his name… He comes to me this
morning, he turns to me, he goes, ‘Flagrant is gonna get
Trump elected,’” Charlamagne said.
Schulz
burst out laughing, “The interview was fire, bro, I don’t
know what to tell you.”
Charlamagne
and Schulz went on to discuss how Trump’s off-the-cuff humor
is a stark contrast with Vice President Kamala Harris, who
Schulz argued is afraid of losing the advantage she believes
she has.
“There’s
nothing about the poll numbers that we’re seeing right now
that should make anybody feel like she’s got this,”
Charlamagne said, and when a comparison
was made to Hillary in 2016 he replied,
“I keep telling people this campaign feels more Hillary-ish
than it does Obama-ish- than Obama ’08-ish.”
During
the interview on “Flagrant,” Trump had the hosts in stitches
numerous times with his irreverent humor, such as when he
joked that Biden has one advantage over him.
“He
has one ability that I don’t have — he sleeps,” Trump said.
“He can sleep! This guy goes on a beach, and he lays down on
one of those 6-ounce [chairs]. They weigh 6 ounces, and he
can’t lift it. They’re meant for children, young people, and
old people to lift. They’re aluminum, you know, hollow
aluminum, they weigh very little, and he can’t lift.”
He
later went on to joke, “Somebody convinced him he looks
good in a bathing suit, and when you’re
82, typically bathing suits aren’t gonna make you look
great.”

On
The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne recently critiqued the
Harris-Walz campaign’s messaging tactics, arguing that their
commentary about global politics seems “very out of touch to
what’s going on right here in America.”
This,
he said, is a stark difference from Trump and his
running-mate JD Vance, who are “talking about what’s
happening here at home and saying things like ‘America
First’ and ‘Make America Great Again,’
that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more.”
He
then corrected himself and said, “Not sometimes, it does
resonate a lot more.”
