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

Charlamagne 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."

BREAKING: Riverside County Sheriff's Press Conference on Man Arrested Outside Trump Coachella Rally.

As we wrote earlier on Sunday, a man was arrested outside former President Donald Trump's Saturday rally in Coachella, California, when he failed to provide proper identification. That raised a red flag. When local police officials searched his car, they found several weapons and ammunition, as the NY Post reported:

A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said.

The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine.

“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said.

The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony [sic] press and VIP passes.

The report continued:

Miller is believed to be a member of a rightwing anti-government organization, according to Bianco, and was plotting to kill Trump.

He has a UCLA Masters degree, and in 2022 ran for Nevada State assembly, the newspaper reported.

Miller was booked for possessing a loaded firearm and a high capacity magazine — and was released after posting $5,000 bail, police records show.

As the Post added in an updated version of its story (linked above)

However, law enforcement sources told The Post that the FBI does not believe this was an assassination attempt, and the former president’s life was never in danger.

 Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco addressed the media just after 3:00 p.m. PST on Sunday. He explained that there were two perimeters outside the event: an inside and an outside perimeter. Past those is the actual entrance to the rally, where the Secret Service takes over screening participants.

The inside perimeter, where the man was stopped, was completely controlled by the Sheriff's office. He said they believe the man's name is Vem Miller, with a birthdate of Oct. 26, 1974. That was the information he gave law enforcement, and how he was booked.

Bianco said that not only did the deputy notice that the vehicle was in disarray, but the license plate was fake. The officer also found several passports with different names on them inside the car. He said the IDs and the license plate were an indication to law enforcement that the suspect was part of a sovereign citizens fringe group. The car belongs to Miller, but was not officially registered.

The sheriff said that he didn't remember saying that a third assassination attempt was thwarted, but that he wouldn't be surprised if he did. He put it down to the advance preparation his office made before the rally, and that he's glad they didn't have to shoot the suspect.

Bianco chastised one reporter's question, calling it "common sense and reason" to consider someone trying to enter a Trump rally with loaded guns and improper ID as a potential threat to the former president, who has already survived two assassination attempts.

He did confirm something that the man told the media after he posted bail, that someone gave him a pass. The sheriff said later in the press conference that it wasn't clear whether the pass was a physical pass. Regardless, rally participants must do their own registration for events; they can't just be given a pass, Bianco said.

He also confirmed that the high-capacity magazine found in the search was for the handgun.

Bianco said that his office has basically completed its investigation, which was on the weapons, and any other charges (if there are more) would be handled on the federal level. The investigation is continuing among his office, the FBI, and Secret Service.

Social media goes into meltdown as Saturday Night Live destroys Kamala Harris: 'It's over. The Democrats have lost SNL'

By Sonya Gugliara | Dailymail.Com

Maya Rudolph played Kamala Harris as Saturday Night Live viewers believe the show is 'destroying' the candidate with their sketches 

Social media has gone into a meltdown following last night's Saturday Night Live skits about Kamala Harris - with many viewers saying the mockery is bad news for the Democratic candidate. 

Famously played by Maya Rudolph, Harris' character has been hurdled into the spotlight on the late-night show as the November election approaches - and fans have had a lot to say about her portrayal. 

On last night's episode, SNL poked fun at Harris on a Family Feud-style skit - making fun of her trademark mannerisms, such as her signature 'word salad.'

Robby Starbuck wrote on X: 'When SNL is doing skits like this, you know that they think Kamala’s cooked. Mood shifted. 

'I see zero on the ground excitement for her. The whole administration is a joke to normal people. A sick, sad, long joke that we’re ready to be done with!'

'You know it’s over when the Democrats have lost SNL. They just destroyed Kamala Harris,' an X post from columnist Dustin Grage reads. 

Another person responded to the clip: 'Wow. They can’t deny the obvious. Glad they are making fun of how stupid these people sound.'

And a fourth viewer said: 'This is one of the most hilarious and truthful skits I have ever seen? Is SNL throwing Biden and Kamala under the bus ? Make comedy great again!'

While another comedy lover wrote: 'SNL went after Kamala Harris again. The Left will not like this at all.'

Columnist Dustin Grage said SNL 'destroyed' Harris in a Family Feud-themed act 

One social media user said about the show: 'Even SNL couldn’t resist taking a swing at Kamala Harris—now you know things are bad!'

Saturday night's 'Cold Open' was set up as a Family Feud episode featuring the key players of both political parties. 

Harris went head-to-head with Donald Trump, played by James Austin Johnson, in a clip that grabbed the attention of millions of viewers.

When Steve Harvey, depicted by Kenan Thompson, asked the players to name something they keep in their glove compartment, Harris hit the red buzzer.

The Harris character started her speech with the vice president's token phrase of late: 'I raised in a middle class family.' The SNL crowd erupted in laughter. 

She went on a long-winded answer about her childhood, but ultimately landed on 'a Glock,' alluding to a 60 Minutes interview where the candidate said she owns a gun and 'if someone breaks in my house, they’re getting shot.'

Tim Waltz, played by Jim Gaffigan, answered the same prompt with some 'white nonsense,' as Kenan's Harvey humorously described the response of 'hot hands, napkins from Runza and gotta have Tums, in case I eat something spicy like tomato.'

Dana Carvey played a confused Biden, who rambled on in noncoherent sentences. 

'Well, well, well. It says volumes SNL are doing real life skits on Kamala & Biden. But where have they been for 4 years,' someone wrote on X. 

Even though some social media users thought this sketch was an attack on Harris, Trump's character was also mocked in the parody. 

At one point Harris proved that the Republican candidate can be manipulated 'simply through flattery.' She then gave him a compliment, to which Trump responded, 'She's got my vote.' 

An act from last week depicting Harris watching the vice presidential debate hinted at Harris' drinking habits, some viewers said 

'It's funnier now that they make fun of the other side too lol', an X user said about SNL, which has been criticized for being liberal-leaning. 

Another said: 'I thought Saturday Night Live was liberal. Didn’t they used to bash Trump all the time?' 

In another satirical bit that viewers believed flamed Harris, Rudolph's character danced at a podium, before introducing Joe Biden with a Jamaican accent - which she has been criticized for jumping in and out of recently.  

'If we win together, we could end the dramala,' she said. 'and the tramala, and go relax in our pajamalas.' 

But others did not see the Kamala-centered jokes as anything more than comedic content. 

One post read: 'Conservatives acting like SNL just started the kamala “but first, something about me” storyline is so funny to me bc they have been doing it since 2019.'

But the overwhelming verdict, according to viewers posting on social media, is that SNL's berating of Harris has signaled a turning point in public opinion.

'Don't underestimate the cultural shift of SNL mocking Kamala It's recognition she is toast & permission to walk away from her & her trainwreck of a campaign,' someone said. 

A sketch from last week depicting Harris and her husband watching the vice presidential debate made people think SNL was hinting at Harris' rumored drinking problem.

Someone wrote on X: 'Kamala is too busy drinking more like what else is new'

'SNL is openly making fun of Kamala Harris's drinking problem and Tim Walz being a Knucklehead. Sure sign that Harris' campaign is in deep trouble,' another said. 

An SNL sketch framed as a Family Feud episode mocked Harris, Tim Waltz, Doug Emhoff and Joe Biden

'OMG SNL couldn't resists making Kamala a drunk and her husband a psychopath than Tim Walz say he's friends with school shooters,' another user chimed in. 

Despite online backlash and criticism from Republicans, Harris has shown she enjoys seeing herself acted out on the show. 

While appearing on The View, she was seen laughing and clapping at Rudolph's portrayal of her. 

'She's so good,' Harris said of the actress-comedian.

Harris campaign designed to attract uninformed voters

By William Haupt III | The Center Square contributor

The White House / Facebook

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." – John F. Kennedy

One week after the fatal debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Democrats jumped on the opportunity to complete the progressive takeover of our republican democracy. With a treasure trove of big business and union cash, along with special interest identify groups and a gaggle of leftist operatives, they lit the fuse on a long-awaited campaign to elect a woman president.

Most American voters were dismayed that unqualified Kamala Harris was chosen to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee. Harris had proven she could never win a traditional party nomination. With no concern for voters, the left chose Harris with all her failures and her shaky past.

After the Democratic National Convention, leftist party delegates walked the streets of Chicago in idyllic weather with a spring in their step, thrilled that their party had chosen a progressive Black woman as a candidate. At the convention, they had praised Harris as “a president of joy and elation" and said she'd defeat Donald Trump’s “politics of darkness” as she fiercely attacked Trump.

Since her nomination, media and the DNC have staged campaign events for Harris that rival any evangelical-revival big-tent show! People sing, dance and jump for joy with every word Harris giggles. Harris never mentions policies but freely spiels vitriolic hate speech about Trump.

"If Donald Trump is elected, he will try to tear up the U.S. Constitution.'' – Kamala Harris

While the DNC has reinvented Harris to hide her radical past, they can't rewrite history. Too many prominent leftists are aware Harris would have never won a primary. Former first lady Michelle Obama told the crowd, “No matter how good we feel tonight, or tomorrow, or the next day, this is going to be an uphill battle.” Democrat David Axelrod added: "We are seeing irrational exuberance that will end sometime after Labor Day. Kamala Harris must be prepared to reveal her policies."

Harris has only survived by remaining undefined in the minds of voters. Her anonymity is both a blessing and a curse. Harris won't reveal her policies or give interviews that could damage and disrupt her moderate facade that the liberal media has sold to uninformed voters and the Trump haters.

Thomas Jefferson told us, "No nation can be both free and ignorant." For years, Democrats have depended on uninformed voters to remain in office. This has enabled them to grow government and win elections from coast to coast by dividing voters against each other, i.e., the rich against the poor and middle class. They win elections keeping voters uninformed promising to punish the rich!

"The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office." – Will Rogers

Contrary to populist belief, candidates like Barack Obama and Kamala Harris are not guaranteed victories because identity voters will flock to the polls to elect them. That is an urban myth. It's not only their color but the Democratic party and the liberal media that get them elected.

If we look at Black GOP candidates and compare their number of victories to leftist Blacks, five times more liberal Blacks are elected than Black Republicans.

Archived Media Research Center records reveal U.S. newsrooms are anything but diverse. They found reporters are far more liberal than average Americans. The majority vote Democrat. Their view on abortion and gay rights are far left of most Americans. They endorse expanding welfare, gun control, regulation and support free health-care benefits for everyone including illegal aliens.

MRC data shows America's recognition of liberal media’s bias has grown exponentially during the past few decades, but few voters seek the truth because of party loyalty. They knowingly vote for inferior candidates even if it is not in their best interests. Democrats need uninformed voters to win.

Democrats found running identity candidates regardless of their qualifications lets them use race as a weapon to win at all costs. Since liberal media and Democrats are allied coast to coast, they turn the worst candidates into winners for their benefit at the expense of our security and liberty.

Voters will never make a wise decision this election unless they do their homework. Harris flipped on many policies, from fracking, price and rent controls, and socialized medicine, to corporate greed and punishing the rich. Liberal media has turned Bay area progressive Harris, whose campaign is based on "joy, hope and feel good vibes" into a moderate centrist – despite her checkered past.

Democrats depend on political ignorance to elect "shill candidates" to puppeteer party issues for special interests that better-informed voters would reject. Uninformed voters elect candidates for the wrong reasons, and when they realize this, Democrats blame Republicans for their failures.

Americans have lived with record high inflation for four years under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They saw millions of buyers priced out of the home market. They lived with retail shortages and sky high prices and watched the cost of living increase $11,434 per year, according to the recent CPI index. They also saw America empower Taliban terrorists with a disastrous retreat in Afghanistan.

Americans have buyers' remorse for the failed economic and foreign policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. There is no question America wants new leadership. Democrats had a chance to nominate a new team this election to repair the irreparable damage done to our nation. Yet they chose to bypass the will of the people and allowed beltway operatives to choose Kamala Harris to run as a replacement for Joe Biden. And she has promised to continue his failed policies if elected.

Arbitrarily eliminating delegates from nominating a candidate denies citizens their voice in choosing a candidate. Democrats forced voters to accept four more years of inferior leadership although they had clearly expressed a desire for change. Shame on them for hand picking someone who'd been elected by uninformed voters four years ago. This is not only undemocratic, it is unconstitutional.

Since the power to vote is the power to govern, concerned citizens are always informed voters. In a representative democracy, informed voters are aware that voting for the right candidate at all levels of government assures them they will be governed by qualified leaders in a manner they deserve.

“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves, and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

What’s Up with Joe?

By  Steven Hayward | Powerline.com

Biden dons red Trump hat during 9/11 remembrance event in Shanksville, PA

One of my oldest pals in the writing racket—a fellow intern for M. Stanton Evans along with me back in 1981—sent the following observation this morning, which I cannot top:

I’ve been saying for weeks that Joe Biden seems to be doing his sly best to sabotage the Kameleon’s campaign and that opinion is apparently becoming more widely shared. Jack Posobiec tweeted this morning that there was an “altercation” between Biden and Harris staffers in the West Wing following China Joe’s “surprise” press conference last Friday where he heaped praise on Harris and tied her even more closely to his record. (See the American Thinker piece.)

Frankly, this doesn’t surprise me. Biden never wanted Harris in the first place. His pick was Gretchen Whitmer, but he was forced to take Harris by James Clyburn because she was the only remotely plausible Woman of Color he could choose. He may be “Slow Joe” and stink at governing, but one thing Biden knows how to do is win elections. He’s 10-0 against Republicans and stopped the “Red Wave” in 2022. Indeed, Joe looks perkier lately than he’s seemed in years, almost as if he’s been given a new purpose.

And I think I know what that purpose is: revenge. He’s still mad as all get-out about being forced out of the race, not to mention Harris’ ill-disguised campaign effort to pretend Biden’s presidency never happened. And he seems determined to get back at those he holds responsible, including Harris for going along with the coup. Doubtless Dr. Jill is egging him on behind the scenes. (“You owe those SOB’s NOTHING, Joe. Make ’em pay.”)

Now, I’m sure Biden doesn’t look forward to having his sole term in office bookended by DJT and having to welcome him back to the White House, but frankly, it all makes sense when you think about it. After all, there’s only one thing worse than seeing your enemy win, and that’s to see the people you thought were your friends and political comrades-in-arms win after they betrayed you and stabbed you in the back. Remember what Joe was caught saying into a hot mike with regard to Hunter’s legal issues? “Nobody f*c*s with a Biden.” I have no doubt he meant every word of it.

Pass the popcorn.

I’m running out of popcorn already.

Kamala's Bizarre Interview With Howard Stern Laughably Goes Off Rails When She Talks About 'Weakness'

By Nick Arama | RedState.com

Kamala Harris did an interview with Howard Stern on Tuesday. 

Once upon a time, Howard Stern was anti-establishment and funny. But now he's all in with the powers that be and that's a sad comment on him. Then, too, he's always had issues with taste and saying things that were offensive, including to women. Yet that didn't seem to stop Kamala Harris from going on his show. 

Harris went on "The View" earlier, and that was a disaster, with her admitting she wouldn't do anything different from Joe Biden. 

Stern made it clear he supported her and wasn't even going to begin to be objective. It wasn't an interview; it was an effort to help her. I spoke about Jimmy Kimmel's "interview" of Tim Walz being a sycophantic slobberfest. This interview was even worse. 

Howard's first question was ridiculous: Did she nap? He explained he was disturbed that SNL made fun of her on Saturday. He didn't want that because there was "too much at stake." He said he wanted this to go "well for her." 

The second question was Howard asking if she liked the Prince soundtrack for the first Michael Keaton "Batman" movie that came out 35 years ago, according to journalist Joe Concha. Really getting to the heart of the election issues. 

But that's about how it continued, with Howard spewing vitriol at Trump and Trump supporters. He filled in most of the time, ranting, saying things like he doesn't understand "how this election is close." He asked Harris if she would leave the country if Trump won. He was just completely whacked out. 

Stern bizarrely claimed Harris was the "law and order candidate." 

Um, this is the same woman who allowed a record number of people to enter our country illegally. This is a woman who promoted a bail fund for people arrested during the BLM riots in Minnesota. This is a woman who has chanted "Down, down with deportation" and has attacked ICE.

Hey, at least Howard did ask the important McDonald's question, and even with a guy bending over to help her, she couldn't make it sound any more true this time, either. This time, she even said that "Dougie" had worked at McDonald's and had been "employee of the month." Then she said more about "doing fries."

Again she offered no proof, and people who actually have worked at McDonald's said that isn't how it works. So she didn't convince anyone. 

But perhaps the most incredible thing that she said was when she called President Donald Trump "weak." 

"I can be much more articulate than what I am going to say," Harris said. 

"Ultimately I do believe that this is an election that is about strength versus weakness. And weakness as projected by someone who puts himself in front of the American people and does not have the strength to stand --  in defense of their needs, their dreams and their desires. The work that must happen to make sure we are a secure nation, that we are nurturing and protecting our alliances around the world, that we are supporting America's military, that we are fighting to bring the costs of living down for American families."

She's ducked interviews until recently, she still refuses to answer a lot of questions about what she will do, and hasn't gone on anything but friendly outlets. She's failed at everything she's supposed to have done for the past four years. So imagine her talking about anyone else's weakness when she's the epitome of weakness. 

Moreover, how dare she talk about Trump? The guy who took a bullet and then had the strength to stand, even in the face of that, with blood streaming down his face, fist pumping, saying, "Fight, fight, fight!" because his first thought was to let the people who would be concerned know he was okay, so they wouldn't worry. He stood even in the face of gunfire. That's strength. That's courage that Kamala will never know or understand. And what's amazing is that the audience, largely, were transfixed, not running, but fixed on his safety as well. That was courage, too. 

Trump even went back to the place of the attempt on his life to finish the rally that people wanted to see. He honored his supporters who had been hurt and Corey Comperatore, who had been killed. He spoke about how important it was to win to defend the rights of the American people. 

Harris has done nothing to make us a "secure nation" -- she's done the opposite. She just threw Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu under the bus, refusing to even call him an ally. So much for alliances. And the rise in prices is directly related to her voting to pass legislation that helped to make inflation worse. 

Harris is literally everything she is complaining about, and that's why we need to "turn the page" from her.
