Comedian Andrew Schultz joins us on the show to talk about why Democrats are so uncool. We also talk about how the old guard media is finally starting to get a grip on the new president, Donald Trump.
00:02:39.980So, you know, guys, if we're going to be edgy comedians and start to tell the truth, at least like workshop your own jokes.
00:02:50.900I know that you're a little bit late in the game, maybe six, seven years late and you've made your bag and you've sold out MSG and you did what you had to do to get ahead.
00:02:59.720But now that, you know, the tides are changing, let's at least be a little creative, you know, not just steal jokes from people who were canceled before.
00:03:09.340So this, yeah, the whole thing disgusts me.
00:03:11.680I would never really talk at this person because I kind of respect him, right?
00:03:24.720And I could see the frustration with people.
00:03:27.140Well, actually, I'm not even sure if I'm seeing the frustration.
00:03:29.440I'm frustrated because I'm seeing people finally happy that somebody with clout that's been given to them from, you know, old leftist guard media now agreeing with them.
00:05:37.760Yes, I guess we'd have to really think about that.
00:05:40.780But then as a viewer, as a casual viewer of media and these sort of personalities, you have to then ask yourself, if these people are stupid, why am I listening to them?
00:05:50.920If they're evil, why have I listened to them before?
00:05:57.340I mean, you know, as someone who has worked in mainstream media newsrooms, you know, in New York City, across the street from Rockefeller Center, you know, I've produced, you know, live television in the belly of the beast.
00:06:08.820I've seen how it is, it is created and I've seen how it's fabricated.
00:06:13.240And, you know, it's people really, they don't know the depths of depravity of what is going on that it takes to create for them a live newscast, at least from the perspective of like how the legacy media operates.
00:06:28.220And some people like they're watching, for example, the CBS interview, the J.D. Vance with Margaret Brennan, for example, and I was trying to explain to people earlier how it's like they try and bring, if it's a left-wing news agency, they try and bring someone on who is like an idiot who will sort of basically be like, oh, there's an R after their name, but they kind of agree with everything Democrats are saying.
00:06:50.560And, oh, yes, the J. Sixers should be in jail, et cetera, et cetera.
00:06:54.040But they try and bring on people who are idiots, but then if there's somebody who's actually intelligent, who's making the right ideas, who has the right ideas, they either don't bring them on because they think, oh, well, they're not relevant enough.
00:07:06.780But if they're so relevant that they do want to bring them on, then they will kind of hockey pocket back and forth to prevent them from being able to actually say what they believe.
00:07:17.600Now, Jon Stewart, speaking of comedians, top lobster, you might know this, Jon Stewart used to actually deceptively edit interviews to make these people sound stupid or idiotic or retarded.
00:07:29.280And in the newsrooms, they do cut it to make the person, they take things out of context, and they only show you what they believe.
00:07:37.160And I'll tell you this, most of the people, though, in the lamestream media or the legacy media, they aren't stupid, but they are definitely evil.
00:07:44.380And what they are doing is trying to manipulate us because, I mean, let's be honest, like most of New York and D.C., they live in a bubble, and it's quite common to go for a cocktail after, you know, your 5 p.m. live show at Fox and then go across the street and be listening to everybody at Rockefeller Center talking about how much they hate where I live right now in Jefferson City, how much they hated people where I live out in Missouri.
00:08:08.680They despise our culture, and they've used government as a blunt instrument, a tool.
00:08:13.560They've used people like Andrew Schultz as a bludgeon to try and keep us down and take away our freedoms and take away our liberties.
00:08:20.920So it is an insidious and evil conspiracy that the legacy media has had, but they're losing it.
00:08:26.320And, you know, thank God for podcasts like, you know, and for the Tower Gang and for Wake Up America show because evil is on the retreat right now.
00:08:35.000And I'm not, I'm like you, I'm not like a MAGA guy per se.
00:08:38.640I'm a, you know, liberty guy in the Republican Party, right?
00:08:44.620The stupid people are the tits that they bring out, the anchors with, you know, gigantic boobs that are there to hypnotize you, right?
00:08:50.840And hypnotize, the socialist titties that are meant to hypnotize and enslave your ass, you know what I'm saying, right?
00:08:56.120But that's the stupid, the evil are the puppet masters, you know what I'm saying?
00:09:01.700Right, so this is, again, my gripe with these guys like Bill Burr, even like a John, well, John Stewart, I wouldn't even consider him a comedian.
00:09:09.200But Bill Burr, Andrew Schultz, you go down the line of mainstream comedian who's been doing what they're told and has now since changed tune.
00:09:15.680And they're working, but they're, they're not working under their title, okay?
00:09:20.360As human beings, we operate in archetypes.
00:09:35.540In the time when they were really supposed to uphold that duty.
00:09:39.140There's one person, maybe two, like a Sam Tripoli and Owen Benjamin, who, I mean, Sam, Owen Benjamin really is the biggest example of this.
00:09:47.080Where in 2015, when the whole trans thing started happening, he actually spoke truth to the king, got completely banned for it.
00:09:55.360He's living out in Idaho in the middle of a farm because he can't work.
00:09:59.160They wouldn't even let him work a small comedy club.
00:10:01.340This is one of the funniest people in the world.
00:10:03.600So funny that Dave Chappelle still steals his jokes.
00:10:06.960Andrew, Andrew Schultz is right there.
00:10:08.340The joke that you saw about the 5'9", that's his joke.
00:10:11.640These are the people that I want to hear from.
00:10:14.960I don't want to hear from an Andrew Schultz when he could have taken his bag of money at any point, even after the jab.
00:10:20.940You could have taken it and, you know, floated away on your boat or actually created something where you can speak truthfully.
00:10:45.020I mean, we were talking about Meghan McCain last night.
00:10:47.080You sent me one of her one of her recent tweets where she's just glazing Trump again.
00:10:50.660Well, I remember her in 2021 calling for January Sixers to put them under the jail, right?
00:10:56.900Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.
00:11:00.660I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.
00:11:03.980Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your show everywhere, from Apple Podcasts to Spotify.
00:11:11.300But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.
00:11:21.380And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you, and you get paid for every download.
00:11:26.160This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.
00:11:29.620Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're already doing.
00:12:40.400I think that's very important because you've really latched on to the importance of the role that comedians play in a free society.
00:12:51.240In order for civilization to function, people have to have release valves for the pain and suffering that most people feel in their daily lives because one of the epicenters of the Trump revolution centered around the pain and suffering of the average person when it came to price inflation.
00:13:12.500And this is something that they just don't feel the pain of.
00:13:15.840They don't experience it because, first of all, most people like Margaret Brennan and Stephen Smith and Andrew Schultz and stuff like that, these people, they don't do their own grocery shopping or they can afford to order every meal on DoorDash.
00:13:28.680They don't have to go to the grocery store, see the rising price of eggs and deal with the fact that, you know, I've got a child, you know, when I have to go to the grocery store, I've got to buy a $50 bucket of baby formula.
00:13:41.660Like, they don't have to worry about these things.
00:13:43.600They are immune to the problems that they are creating in Washington, D.C.
00:13:48.100And it used to be, though, that, like, comedians weren't necessarily always as powerful in society as they have sort of become.
00:13:55.200I mean, it was kind of the Jon Stewart era where comedians used to be something more like, it used to be more of a fringe of society phenomenon.
00:14:05.700Like, if you were a comedian, like, you were still kind of like, you know, a jester in the sense that you weren't sort of empowered to the level that people are today where you have Netflix specials and people are, people actually listen to Jon Stewart.
00:14:51.280Are there any other comedians that are out there today that, like, are really funny who, you know, maybe never really got into the woke mind virus?
00:17:17.960He joins us live here on the Wake Up America show.
00:17:20.340We're glad to have him talking a little bit about comedians, their role in society, and how so many Johnny-come-latelys have suddenly come around to the idea that perhaps leftist Democrat culture is uncool.
00:17:32.260Maybe you're not very masculine if you're a Democrat, man.
00:17:35.240They are kind of in trouble, the Democrats, in a way, right?
00:17:41.060They didn't even realize that it was slipping between their fingers, though, because culture has started to move more in our direction.
00:17:49.400And, you know, it's a good thing that we see people, I think, that we see some people coming on board and waking up.
00:17:55.140And, you know, we shouldn't put that – it shouldn't be like Cenk Wager from The Young Turks where we put him on stage and applaud him or something like that.
00:19:04.720If I was Donald Trump after the way they treated me, and then after I released Ross, I would have went back and I would have tore up the paper because they were just talking shit the entire time.
00:19:21.140You know, my opinion on the LP is going to be like, you know, harsh with nuance.
00:19:25.880It's going to be – I mean, it went from the Gary Johnson years, which started out with the best of intentions and then collapsed into a giant grift with millions of dollars being siphoned off to a person who ran the campaign to, you know, the just disaster of 2020 with, you know, that chick that they had, the BLM chick.
00:19:45.100And then, you know, this year, you know, the party was so weak that it was defenseless against bringing in the woke mind virus.
00:19:52.060So, I mean, you know, that's – but again, that's – you're right.
00:19:58.380And I could see Trump being petty and vindictive, but it's amazing that he actually seems to be willing to reach across the aisle and still do what he said he would do for them even though they mistreated him, treated him like garbage.
00:20:11.940I mean, and I think, you know, the president would be well within his rights to do so.
00:20:16.840What really just kind of like gets me steamed though is so many libertarians after he freed Ross, again, still talking shit, still saying like, oh, you know, and not trying to give Angela McArdle credit that she's due, right, that she absolutely deserves, right?
00:20:33.520A lot of people put in a lot of hours, especially Ross Ulbrich's mom and a lot of other libertarian activists and stuff, but they just want to talk shit.
00:20:39.880They don't want to actually do anything.
00:20:41.880They don't want to accomplish anything because here's the thing.
00:20:44.460Javier Malay proved that you can have victory based around these ideals, and a lot of libertarians hated him for the sole purpose of it showed them up for the losers that they are because they can't win.
00:21:01.160And here in this country, Trump has showed that the power of coalition, that the power of MAGA and libertarian ideas, because frankly, he's the most libertarian president of my lifetime, right, and probably since Calvin Coolidge, right?
00:21:16.280And, you know, a lot of MAGA people get pissed off at some of the libertarian stuff that he does.
00:21:20.360And I'm like, oh, man, this is great for me.
00:21:23.180But when it comes to how libertarians interact with Trump, you still see these left libertarians out there who are seeing him as, like, the heart of all evil.
00:21:33.060They have swallowed the mainstream media lies.
00:22:16.360I was, a couple of months ago, yeah, right around the election, I went on Liberty Lockdown.
00:22:22.880And as a surprise guest, Robbie the Fire, that's Dave Smith's co-host, was on and we were talking.
00:22:27.640And I'm the kind of guy to shoot from the hip and say wild shit.
00:22:31.500And I said, just, you know, thinking out loud, I said, hey, I think, you know, maybe if Trump wins this election, this is before he even won.
00:22:40.700And I said, if he wins, I think the move here is to go ahead and, like, just go through the voter rolls.
00:23:19.680He's coming in three days and kind of, you know, alleviated a lot of the social tensions, a lot of the, even some of the economic pressures, just with a couple of executive orders.
00:23:28.360So, he can definitely make some good changes within the next four years.
00:23:36.060I think the other side should not be in power again.
00:23:38.680But this also then brings up some caution because what I'm seeing right now and what I'm really worried about is a hard swing to the right, where instead of us swinging to the correct right political spectrum, we swing a lot further.
00:23:55.660And I know that you see that sentiment with the whole Jewish thing, which I have been guilty of proliferating.
00:24:01.960But unchecked, this will swing far to the right.
00:24:06.320And this guy, if Trump has unanimous, you know, 100% consensus in the United States, which it could possibly be, you get enough of these fake celebrities that will back him.
00:24:16.700We could be looking at a different type of monster, one that's a lot harder to stop than the left.
00:24:27.060But what I do know is for right now, you need to keep these people's hands off the wheels by any means possible.
00:24:34.720If that means embracing some sort of dictatorial tactics, do it.
00:24:39.440It seems to have worked for Buckele and El Salvador.
00:24:42.500And that also brings you to the idea of the cartel, which is a whole nother discussion.
00:24:46.360Can't wait to hear libertarians cry about that war, which is already here and one that probably definitely needs to be fought because it's been going on actually in our borders.
00:24:55.420What happens, I think we see a lovely four years.
00:25:01.720And what I tell people, what I caution them is to position yourself accordingly because what happens after is going to be completely unpredictable.
00:25:09.600And I don't think people are going to like it.
00:25:12.060You're an interesting and thoughtful guy, Lobster.
00:25:18.320We need a George Washington, a person who wields dictatorial power for liberty and then walks away and goes back to his plow or goes back to Mount Vernon and operates as the Society of Cincinnatus' doings in the United States.
