Comedian Andrew Schulz and his co-hosts on the "Flagrant" podcast spoke Wednesday about how former President Trump won over viewers during his recent interview on their show.

During the Oct. 9 interview on "Flagrant," Trump had the hosts in stitches numerous times with his irreverent humor, such as when he boasted about his "genius" ability to "weave" – what his critics call rambling – during campaign rally speeches.

One week later, Schulz declared at the top of the newest episode,"Obviously, we’ve got to react to the Trump interview. My reaction is Trump is winning by a landslide. It's not close anymore. Is that the energy y’all felt?"

"You’re a prisoner of the moment," one co-host chided.

"You know that about me," Schulz joked amid laughter.

Co-host Mark Gagnon noted the stark difference in Schulz's opinion before and after the Trump interview.

"Before Trump came on, you were like, ‘Yeah, it can go either way, it's very close,’" Gagnon said.

"No, before he came on, I was like, ‘He don’t got a chance,’" Schulz said, joking that Trump must have been desperate if he was resorting to going on "Flagrant." "And then after the interview, obviously, we saw the reaction."

"And you got 20 or 25 text messages and you were like, ‘This guy is winning,’" Gagnon recalled.

"Listen, it wasn’t the 20-25 text messages, you know what it was?" Schulz asked. "It was the looks in the street," he said, recounting the positive reaction he's seen in public after his interview with Trump.

The podcast co-hosts went on to discuss how they think some of the hype around Vice President Kamala Harris has died down recently, and Gagnon suggested it can be attributed partially to "Trump doing like a big media blitz where’s he’s just being himself and then Kamala not doing an amazing media run. Like, I think it’s, to be honest, more her sort of missteps like the ’60 Minutes’ thing I don’t think worked out well, the ‘Call her Daddy’ thing I don’t think worked out well."

On Friday, Charlamagne tha God, who does a separate podcast with Schulz, "The Brilliant Idiots," recalled how a young Black man he knew, but refused to name, reacted to Trump’s appearance on "Flagrant."

"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.

Profound Implications – Trump Transition Team Likely to Refuse Federal Assistance and Transition Funding if President Trump Wins Election 1/2

October 19, 2024 | Sundance |

This is an inside baseball story that will be overlooked by most, but it carries profound implications.

The winner of the presidential election usually merges the president-elect’s transition team with the federal transition system. Current government bureaucrats then begin a process of briefings, agency/institutional transfer coordination and funding to assist the incoming president’s team. However, as we saw in the aftermath of the 2016 election, the government side of the transition worked behind the scenes to impede Trump’s ascendency into office, and factually supported the corrupt government IC officials who were targeting Trump.

For election 2024, President Trump’s transition team is now saying they are likely to go it alone and skip any federal transition assistance in advance of inauguration day.That decision is making the deepest parts of the Deep State apparatus very nervous. That decision has major ramifications and could, likely would, include the incoming Trump administration setting up offices outside Washington DC.

WASHINGTON DC – Former President Donald Trump is weighing a go-it-alone approach to presidential transition planning, which could dramatically slow his takeover of the federal government if he wins in November.

The Trump transition team has yet to sign two agreements with the federal government to receive transition funding and planning assistance and to share information — a break with modern precedent. Instead, transition co-chairs Linda McMahon, who served as small business administrator in the Trump administration, and investor and GOP mega-donor Howard Lutnick are plowing ahead with their own processes for vetting potential political appointees and preparing policy plans.

The decision not to take federal assistance allows them to raise unlimited funds without disclosing their donors, while avoiding oversight from federal bureaucrats, whom Trump and his advisers deeply distrust. But if Trump wins the election and continues to drag his feet on signing the agreement with the White House, it will limit the information he and his team can access to understand current federal operations and challenges.

While the Trump transition team insists it will be ready to hit the ground running if the former president wins, experts say it’s likely to further set back its preparations, already running well behind schedule, to take over the executive branch and its millions of employees.

[…] Beyond simply planning the future president’s policy agenda, a presidential transition is charged with identifying candidates to fill thousands of vacancies, readying plans to run the federal government’s voluminous agencies, and applying for security clearances for staff to receive sensitive information.

The Presidential Transition Act aims to facilitate a smooth transfer of power between administrations, establishing guidelines for the sitting government’s transition planning and designating various forms of assistance that the General Services Administration can provide to the presidential transitions and, post-election, the president-elect. By Sept. 1, the General Services Administration is expected to reach an agreement with the candidates’ teams regarding what kind of support and facilities it will provide before the election. By Oct. 1, the White House is expected to reach an agreement with the candidates’ teams around access to agencies, post-election, which includes an ethics plan for its staff. (KEEP READING)

Most readers are aware of my position. I do not think the Trump team should engage with the corrupt silo administrators at all, specifically because of their conduct in 2017 – which included the GSA giving all of the Trump transition material, emails, documents, text messages, cell phones etc. to Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann. The GSA even gave the IC and DOJ privileged information from President Trump’s lawyers on the transition team. In short, the DC system cannot be trusted.

2/2

This is a background issue of big importance that we should watch closely. I predict the U.S Intelligence Community, FBI and DOJ will be conducting wholesale surveillance of the Trump transition team. They are likely doing that already.

The General Services Administration (GSA) was the originating institution used by the IC in coordination with the FBI/DOJ to set up the framing of the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Every part of the GSA cannot be trusted.

President Trump’s transition team needs to keep distance from the Obama/Biden/Harris network that operates and controls the functionarieswho manipulate the DC bureaucracy as instructed by the Intelligence Community.

We will keep watching.
