It's really interesting because a lot of times when they're portrayed in TV or film, they're these drunken asshole scumbags. No way. But there was that show. I don't know if it was Pretty Little Liars or something. Not Pretty Little Liars. The one that takes place in Silicon Valley. It had Nicole Kidman.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Big Little Lies. Big Little Lies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The husband of Nicole Kidman was an abuser. Absolutely.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Great with the kids.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
obviously obviously you're incredibly successful we've seen a bunch of the content that you've put up out on the internet like in mostly interviews that you've done it's kind of interesting because you've been this divorce attorney for decades and now you have like a public profile about your job so bizarre
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Real quick, so everybody understands that, is that like all the information that both lawyers are going to use in court has to be shared with both lawyers. Exactly right. So no lawyer is going, ah, but you didn't see this text. Exactly right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And that's also like a more human relatable moment. Like it is terrifying. I imagine when somebody gets somebody pregnant and they're not aware of it, they don't know what to do. And that's this knee jerk reaction and you sound horrible. And then you have 10 years with the most amazing thing you've ever created.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And you were just so embarrassed that that you like you could have made one flippant decision that eliminated those 10 years.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So that's an interesting thing, too, because I imagine in divorce or in an argument or in anything, the only thing that we're focusing on are the worst moments of that person's life. So I'm sure the husband and the wife in those circumstances are just judging them by the most horrible things that they've done, when in reality, there's probably amazing memories.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I'm not talking about domestic violence people. I'm talking about people that had a marriage and then it became loveless and they're like, let's separate. And now it gets contentious over kids or assets. But again, you're just focusing on these horrible things. Not a beautiful vacation you guys went to, not a great time you guys cooked dinner together, the laughs.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And again, maybe this doesn't make you enough money, but is there ever, not enough money, but is there ever a moment like in divorce where both lawyers are going, hey. Should we try? These people don't hate each other. Nobody did something heinous. How can we not prolong this? Do you guys do that at all?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Because why? It looks like you're just trying to milk it, and then the lawyers get rich and everybody else.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's free advice. Free right there. Are you the new Salino and Barnes for us New Yorkers? Wow. Wow. Am I both? I could be both Salino and Barnes. Of course. Of course.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Is that the, what is like the process?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Did you work on that before? Get out of myself.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, that is. These were like iconic New York lawyers. And it was like one of the first like call lines for law advice, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
No, it doesn't have to be fun.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
You're involved in this case, you're like, what the fuck is happening?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
1-800-888-8888. Did that exist? 1-800-888-8888. There was a lot of eights.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Jesus Christ. Okay, question about that. Do you think those people are just at the point where they're okay getting caught? Because that seems so foolish to me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's a great question.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
On some level, subconsciously.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And they're like, I just need some- If something does happen where it does end, I'm okay with it. But I don't want quiet quitting.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Cheating is for you. It's for you. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
We can be both. You can't be both. I think you probably. Mark, that's why our parents are still married. Exactly. That's what it is.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's awesome. Yeah, that's interesting.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
How many people just kill their wife instead of divorcing them?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, you also see why like sometimes it's forgivable for people. Like I think sometimes when you're like young and in a relationship and you don't have like children or anything like that, and there's like a cheating thing, it's like the one thing you can't do.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Have you ever been involved in one of those cases?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So, yeah, I'm interested to talk about that. Not for personal reasons at all. No, no, no, nothing to do with that. But, yeah, I feel like when you have X amount of kids, you have homes, you have a life that you guys all enjoy, and then... The husband does some, when the wife does it, I bet the dads are like, fuck this, it's fucking over.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But when the husband does some shit, I wonder if some of the wives are like, does he not have a relationship with her? Is it a one-time fucking?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
It depends what you do.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Because they're not actually generating income. And you only pay tax on income.

No, for real.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So we know you've never fucked a client. But hypothetically speaking, like if you ever were to circle the block seven months later, eight months later. Yeah. And like now that girl has tons of money that you won for her. Yeah. And she's like really grateful. Yeah. What is what would that be like hypothetically? What is that head like?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Hypothetically speaking, like when you just got her $100 million.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Just smiling, thinking about it. Yeah, it'd be a lot of money.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Do you prefer the ultra high net worth clients, those cases?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But outside of payment, is it just more stressful? Is it more grueling? Is it?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But they should if it's like a horrible divorce and you free this woman from this oppressive man and then you take the majority of money, give it to him and the house and all this other stuff. And she can't just, you know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Well, he's not married yet.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Why? It's no fun. Don't you like the risk of it? Every argument that you get in with your wife, you're like, man, half my shit at the end of this argument. Isn't that exciting? Don't you want to live on the edge?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
To whom though? To whom? Worst to whom? To my wife or to me? Both of you. Both of you. The process.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
How do you feel personally? Let's say you and your wife are both working. Wife decides to not work to raise the child. Sure, common. And maybe I'm telling you how I feel without asking you how you feel. But like, there's a part of me that goes, okay, well, anything, first of all, anything, I don't have a prenup, obviously. Is there anything that we own as both of ours?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But like, I think that if she's going to make that sacrifice and that decision, I think she's entitled. To half of everything. Who would disagree with that? Okay, good, because I think there's sometimes people... Totally fair. Okay, and I think sometimes people are like, well, if you're making the money, that's all you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Like, sometimes that's what they want. This is interesting. Yeah, you're almost like an authority figure. Yeah, I am. Okay, you are. Yeah. even though they're hiring you. That's really, yeah, it's like there's few positions where you're subservient to the person you're hiring. Like a trainer is one of them.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
It's like, yeah, yeah, but you're able to do that because somebody's looking after the child. Now, there's circumstances, like your guy's circumstances, they don't have a kid yet, right? So, like, he's making money and... Your wife could be making money, so he might have an argument to go, well, I'm going to keep all of this because you could be working.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But I do think once you add children into the mix, there's a very different— But I totally agree, and I think any reasonable person would.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
with the marriage yeah no question does she get half does that really make sense half of everything so there's no question of whether whether what you're saying makes sense i think the difficult emotional battle which you've probably done thousands of times is putting a dollar value on what somebody brings to the table in a in a marriage like what is the dollar value you're worth for raising our kid yes that's a really difficult thing it feels it feels icky but it only feels icky
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Like your trainer can yell at you, tell you you're being lazy, get you together, stop eating this shit. There's lawyer and then maybe like doctor. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Who's the worst in divorce? Culturally, ethnically, racially. Sometimes stereotypes are a real time saver.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
How do you do that in the beginning? So you're sitting down with somebody and you could tell they're being a little fugazi about the information. How do you just go, dude? You're going to screw yourself if you don't tell me where the fucking bodies are buried.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So what do you do? It's not their fault.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's a great question. I get child support. Splitting of assets.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Make her pay alimony. Dude, I think one of the coolest things in the White Lotus episode, they have these three different girls that make up this girl group. It's phenomenal, and each is an archetype of a woman at that age.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
but one of them is paying child support or alimony but it is really interesting to see her reaction to it and how her friends react they hate it yes okay so can you explain one what is alimony and two what is like the steel man argument for it like give me the not like oh this sucks Yeah. But what is the best case scenario? Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So just so I can clarify to anybody who's listening, essentially there's this idea where if you're married and you have a certain lifestyle. Right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And there's a wide disparity in your potential income because the wife might not even be working. Correct. It is up to the husband or the wife, whoever is the breadwinner, to maintain that lifestyle outside of the marriage.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And just clarifying, behind at the race means, like, when she was 20, she would be in this beginner position. I forget what that's called. Like, early entry position. At 40, she should be, like, a VP or something. Because she hasn't worked for two decades, she has to go back at that beginning position.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And because it's a beginning position, the earning potential is very small.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Now, I actually think that there's a lot of compassion and empathy in that idea. Sure. Like that's the best steel man I've heard for it. It makes a lot of sense. Here's the question. I don't think most people would disagree with that. No, no, no. Here's the other question I have. There are certain circumstances where there is a divorce.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
There is a payment and splitting of assets to the tune of like tens of millions of dollars. Yeah. And on top of that, an alimony payment. Yeah. Isn't there a way where it could be calculated that the assets themselves would assume that alimony?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay, I'm glad that they are making these adjustments. And I think a lot of times you have to put in this legislation because you have to protect women, especially at a time where like they weren't able to work. Yes. Like a lot of these laws I imagine are put in times where like women aren't even part of the workforce.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
As it should, but there is bureaucracy you have to go through and that's always going to be doable.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yes, yes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So this is really interesting. And just before, just to caveat it, we all understand the emotional reaction to a prenup and this idea of the impending doom of your marriage before it even starts. So we get that. But it is interesting to attack...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
the prenup, maybe attack is the wrong word, but approach the prenup with this idea that current legislation might not reflect what both parties feel is fair in a relationship, no matter how it goes. And you can, if you love some of the current legislation, put that into the prenup. If you don't, you can remove it. So I think that's an interesting argument for it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Who's the worst person you've defended?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I think the perception of it is a person with a lot of assets trying to make sure that the person that they're going to spend the rest of their life with never gets those assets in the event that the marriage doesn't work out, which is the goal of a lot of prenups.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Not internationally, but what did they do?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
like let's let's let's you're bringing 100 let's go to an alternate reality wait a minute i gotta people click because the next thing i do want to talk to you about is like uh i think we're getting there like what happens with these like huge estates these people that have like generational wealth anyway can we take like two minute breaks uh listen very important that we discuss march madness there's nothing there's more important to the people in this podcast than amateur sports yes
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
We love amateur sports. We love amateur football. We love amateur basketball. We're making crazy money now. Are they even amateur? Yeah. So they're just shittier pros.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
We love shittier pros.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Like, I don't have enough time to watch every NBA game that I want to watch, but I make sure I make time to watch shittier pros.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And if they do, there'll be huge disappointments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's maybe one or two guys that will have a career in this entire draft. Yeah. So, yeah, but, you know, it's March Madness. It doesn't feel very mad, right? Does it feel like so mad?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Have there been crazy upsets yet? Yeah, probably. St.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That team lost to that team or whatever.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And then everybody, and then all the adults pretended like they cared. Do you remember? Oh, my brackets, busters.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, you're all working at Lumen. I think this was fantasy sports before fantasy. in that like remember I don't know because obviously everybody gambled on whatever the fuck they wanted to gamble on back in the day but like you rooted for your team when we were growing up I rooted for the Knicks I rooted for the Giants or the Jets whoever was fucking worse I rooted for the Yankees
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And then fantasy comes around and you start rooting for individual players because it reflects on your team. And I think that the bracket was the closest that we came to that. Most of us did not go to the colleges that are playing in the tournament. My school, I think we made it the year before I went there. I don't even know if we've made it since.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So you end up having this almost fantasy-esque relationship with the bracket. So we pretend that we care about amateur athletics, which we do not.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
A lot of New Yorkers end up going to Michigan or Wisconsin if they can't get into Ivy League sports.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So like if there's a New Yorker that's at Michigan or Wisconsin, I just want you all to know that that was his last choice. And I'm going to be honest, they thought they were better than that. They applied to Cornell. They applied to Brown. They probably didn't think they were smart enough to get into like Harvard or Princeton, but they applied to the lower IDs. They didn't get in.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And they're like, my safety school will be, I will make the pilgrimage with the rest of the New York Jews to Wisconsin or Michigan.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, and then they pretend to like the college, you know, amateur athletic.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Exactly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But it's actually a good school.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's the difference. Whereas Michigan and Wisconsin. They just hated their parents and wanted to get away from them.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, they're not.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Real quick, because I don't want to get away from that. The reason why I was asking that question, like the worst person you've represented, like... Talking to you even before, you don't seem like a sociopath. You seem like, even watching videos of you, you seem quite empathetic. You have a lot of emotion, right? I've seen you get sensitive in interviews, for sure.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Thank you. Thank you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So I understand, and there's a lot of times this happens with defense attorneys. You go, how could you represent this person? It's a great question. So you're representing sometimes scumbags. Awful people, yeah, awful people. Is there ever a moment where you're like, I can't fight for this guy? No, because... Real quick, just a caveat. Yeah. This guy abuses his kids or this woman abuses her kids.

And by fighting for custody, I'm enabling the abuse of those kids.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
You know, like that's how it works. I mean, I like Christmas presents. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
It's the same shit. It doesn't make any sense. But we like nice things. Right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
No, no, no, no, no. I think what we agree on is two people coming together to share love and then potentially raising a family together and not leaving each other to go fuck other people and create other families at the same time.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Exactly. It is really good and beneficial for society. I think we can all agree on that. And let's just use the term marriage for that. Okay. If, for example, every marriage... required a prenup, meaning you couldn't get married unless you had agreed on the terms of that marriage. Now we've removed the government doing the prenup, which it seems to me is your biggest concern. You love love.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
You love people coming together. You love them creating families, and it's really important for society. What you don't love are these rules imposed on us that might be antiquated or not favorable for either party. Well said. You're a marriage libertarian.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So what you want to do is, so I think what you're telling me, just because I don't want it to seem like you're anti-marriage, you're anti, no, sorry, you're pro what we assume marriage is, which is this union, without this antiquated gunk that is then imposed on us if it doesn't go well.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I think I think reframing thing. I'm sure you've done this in every single meeting. I'm more talking to the audience. But I think us reframing marriage in that way and having like a real cool understanding and fair conversation about what would make us both comfortable in this. Yeah. And then you learn a lot about each other. By the way, and that's the point.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
from me and then you learn a lot about each other through that process because if if some guy is marrying a girl then they have to do this prenup process because that's part of the merit the government basically says this hey our rules are kind of fucked up we're going to give you a baseline use some don't use some but we recommend you go get an attorney and maybe there's even like a public office where they can do it i don't know if it doesn't even have to be that complicated but
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But yeah, so you go do it. And then you can learn a lot. If the guy goes, by the way, in this prenup, I want to make sure that you don't deviate within 10 pounds of your weight right now. You'll learn what's really important to that guy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And then you might go, I don't want to get married to this guy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I think that's like a very fair way of approaching it. But I like this idea that you're not against the union. And I think a lot of times when there's criticism of marriage, people think it's criticism of two people starting a family and loving each other. That's not it. We need that for society. That's a good tradition.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I think this is a super healthy way of looking at marriage. And if you're telling me right now that the legislation has already changed to adjust some of the antiquated ideas that were there to obviously protect women, but now are no longer needed. What you're basically saying is the government is going, hey, we got to update the prenup.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
If the government has a prenup, they're basically going marriages deserve prenups. Right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And even if you want to look at the government acting in good faith, they're like, hey, there are these people who go, hey, we've got a problem. There are these divorced women. They're fucking homeless right now. Or they're going back to living with their parents. They're struggling to eat. They can't even take care of their kids. Now they're not around their kids.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
We've got to do something to protect that. They overcorrect.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I want to talk about that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's crazy. And I think even the government would say that that's not how it goes. Yes, that isn't how it works. But maybe there was a time where it was.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
This is great. I love how, like, obviously you're an amazing communicator and you're very spirited about this, but, like, the spirit to me seems to come from this place of, guys, this could be so much easier.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
It's so much better. But there is this negative stigma about a prenup because we only think about these people with tons of assets that are doing it to protect it from a gold digger. We don't think about people who are building a life, like, in a lot of our circumstances. We don't really have... I mean, we're doing okay, but we don't have tons of money.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And then once we get married, we start building this amazing life. And that's probably the majority of people that are getting married. The majority of people aren't coming from $300 million.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Give me an example of that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So to me, like, you know, what's so funny is when early in my career- I'm sorry to cut you here, but it is really interesting to like understand your perspective on this. You're not against the institution. You're like, it could be so much more simple. It just could be better.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And you've gone through so many where you're like, we're still bickering over this because you guys didn't make this very easy decision early on.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Is there anything that you've learned through all these divorces about what makes marriages successful?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Could you make the argument that going through that prenup process could lengthen the marriage? Well, here's what I'll tell you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
This is interesting to talk about. I think it's a self-selecting group. What are the percentages? Okay, so we know what the percentage of divorce is for marriage. What is the percentage of divorce for prenup?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
No, I think our wives are going to watch this episode for sure. I'm curious their perspective on it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I brought that up three days ago. I was like, by the way, we're going to have this divorce attorney.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So you do have that. I've always wondered if lawyers have that feeling. Of course, of course. And then can you compartmentalize that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I literally, I got lost when Akash was like, I don't know, he was saying something. I was like, what's going on? He's a car. But Al's been laughing at me. And then I started going like, am I making a weird face? Does it look like I'm regretting my marriage?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But I think that prenup is already so stained. Like it's just so stained. I think that if you called it like estate planning, Like, for example, like my wife and I did like estate planning and you're just playing for the worst case scenario. What if I die? What if she died? What if everybody died? How fucked up was that? Oh, it's awful. When you're like, what if we both die?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And you're like, oh, my God, what if we both die and your sister dies?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
It's horrifying.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
it's really fucked up but really important but it is important and at no point uh during it was it this like contentious thing you because you're all looking out for the best case scenario of everything and i think prenup is already so radioactive it's like what is another thing you could do but i really like that idea of like because you said you said it best marital contract whatever it is the government has a prenup for you whether you like it or not and most people don't even know what that means and it changes depending on what state you're in that's the part scares me the most
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Meaning that guy ends up in federal prison.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Which is the government can change any time they want. And you could move to a different state and live there long enough. And now I think that state takes... Yeah, they take precedence. You've been there six months, they have jurisdiction. So the reality is there is nobody that doesn't have a prenup. Everyone has a prenup. So you could look into what it is.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah, yeah. This is the education I think... It's crazy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Because it incentivizes divorce in a way.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I have so many questions. I'm sure everybody else does, but very exciting. Okay, so there's this thing with lawyers where, like, a lot of times our engagement with lawyers is usually during maybe the worst times in our lives, right? So the connectivity that we have with lawyers is, like, It's pretty abysmal, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
What do we want out of a protein bar? We want fucking protein and we want it to have low calories. And ideally, we don't want it to have that much sugar. And then after that, can it not taste like cardboard? Those are the things we want. There is no other bar on the planet that's going to give you 28 grams of protein at 150 calories and zero sugar. David figured it out, okay? He figured it out.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I'm telling you right now, it is fantastic. It is the best tasting protein bar ever. that I've ever had. And I'm not counting the ones that have six grams of protein. That's not even a protein bar. I'm talking about the ones that are actually marketed as protein bars. This has more protein than all of them. And it actually is delicious. Okay.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I'm telling you adequate, adequate protein intake is critical for building and preserving muscle mass now. And as we age, if you're an old guy like me, that muscle mass is going to BWO really allows you to play paddle for the rest of your life, okay? Literally, it's the only reason I lift weights is so I can play paddle. And unfortunately, when I don't do it, I start to get injured.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
It's that horrible. So David bars are the first thing that I'm gobbling down in the morning before I go get a workout or afterwards. For some reason, you got to get like your weight in protein in a day, which is like almost impossible. But I try my hardest. Anyway, David... has the most protein per calorie.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So eating 100 calories of David will make you feel fuller than eating 100 calories of any other bar. David is also now available in stores in NYC. So if you're in New York, stop by your local bodega to get your protein fix and then tell the guy at the bodega where you heard about it. Let them know it came from flagrant, okay? That's very important. I'm sure that will get back to David.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Anyway, David comes in six delicious flavors, and they're all worth trying. Also, if you buy four cartons, you get the fifth one free, which will not happen at the bodega, so make sure you do that, over at davidprotein.com slash flagrant. I'm telling you, this is the truth, man. It's fantastic. It's fantastic. It's absolutely fantastic. Anyway, let's get back to the show.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But when you need help and a lawyer is helping you, they are heroic, as you just said. And you've seen like TV shows that talk about like Lincoln Lawyer was a great movie with McConaughey. Now they have this TV show where the lawyer is protecting the innocent that are wrongfully accused, et cetera. Like you've seen it with Joe Pesci and- My Cousin Vinny. My Cousin Vinny and that kind of stuff.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Let's get back to the show. You know, it's interesting. Back in the day, I had a different business manager, and this is when we were about to get married. The business manager hit me up on the side. He's like, by the way, I think that, you know, we should get this prenup settled or whatever like that. And I was operating with good faith, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
So I was like, well, why don't you just get a lawyer? And then, like, my wife and I will talk to the lawyer, and then we'll see what the things are, right? But you're already smiling because you know where this is going. Yeah, I know where it's going. Because I'm like, let's just figure out what these things are. Like, she's not against it. Like, just... And...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
We talk to the lawyer and the lawyer goes, well, I don't know if I should be having this call with you and your wife. And I'm like, well, I'm not trying to fuck over my wife.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But there's the perfect example of how could you then go forward with this agreement and If, obviously it's rational, but how can you go forward with this agreement if the first time you're talking to a lawyer, he basically says, hey, she shouldn't be on because we're going to try to fuck her. Right, right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Like, to me, I literally was going, just give me a lawyer so they can explain what's going on. And then if this is something that we even feel like we should do.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Suits. Suits. Are there ever moments- where you get to be the hero. And what does that feel like?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Even the language. It was like, we just want to protect you. And I go, well, my wife's not trying to kill me. Like, why are you using this language as if she's trying to do something nefarious? Protect me from what? Protect me from what? Like, why aren't we protecting ourselves?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's why I'm saying, like, the way that we approach this, and as you've talked about on the pod, I think it's been really healthy, which is like, hey, just come together on an agreement that you think is superior than the agreement that the government is going to impose on you. Totally. Who wouldn't agree to that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Totally.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Why isn't there a neutral party?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
But why isn't there like a lawyer that wouldn't represent each party, but just someone you could go to for information? There are ways to do it. There are people that do it their way. There should be more of that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
There's more than one path up the mountain, right? Like you don't even have to do the prenup, but just inform us. Maybe we work it all out with you and then we get it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's intoxicating. Give me, give me an example of like somebody who you protected. It was like a woman who was being abused.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And do we trust that family member? Are they responsible enough?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Yeah. Yeah. This is this is really healthy. I really think there should be a neutral party that you could go to for information about like the laws in the state you are.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
That's it just left a bad taste in both of our mouths. Like I understood like where the business manager was coming from, because he probably has these clients that got a bunch of gold diggers trying to go after him.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
I don't have that relationship with my wife. Like we didn't have, I mean, I had a couple bucks, but like, it's not what it was now. And we were operating in good faith. It wasn't even like, how do we keep this from you? And then these lawyers on the side are trying to talk to me going, hey, well, you know, they should have somebody else do it. And then we don't talk.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
And I'm like, guys, this feels like I'm trying to screw over the person that I'm about to spend the rest of my life with. And I don't, I don't feel comfortable with that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
Ah, respect.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
No, that's... You're right. We get caught up in these antiquated systems and they either work for us or we believe that we're invested in them and then we want to break free.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert
My parents also had a really good marriage. And like, I think when you come from broken marriages, it's a lot easier to look at how badly it could go. And I think that I'm very lucky to come from a very healthy marriage. And so in my mind, I'm like, oh yeah, it's just gonna go like that. So maybe there's a little naivete in me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Why Relationships Die & Which Ethnicity is WORST in Divorce | The Divorce Expert

Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And I'm watching LeBron dunk from the fucking dotted line. That sounds crazy. You went home to your wife. She was like, how was watching LeBron? You're like, babe, my knees hurt so bad. My knees. My knees are killing me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Yeah, he's amazing. Jackie Robinson of old, guys. He really is, dude. He broke the age barrier.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
If he's playing alone without LeBron, boo him. Yeah. But it's bigger than basketball. Yeah. It's a story. New Yorkers love family.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

It's like Fast and Furious.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
LeBron really is MJ and LeVar Ball put into one guy. You know what I mean? Like perfect dad, perfect player. Just like helping out his family.

That was the greatest Super Bowl before it's ours.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah, my family didn't get it. They were like, who is this guy and what is he talking about? Yeah. That's impossible. That's crazy. They thought it was fine. They just have never heard the songs. Like Usher, for my family, for French Canadians, it didn't cross over somehow.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
It was crazy. Because you guys were talking about it. I didn't really know anything about it. And I was sort of like, all right, let's see whatever this is. And then I got into it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I'm like, babe, you got to sit down right now.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I read all 500 pages of the amended complaint, as well as the important timeline of events that Justin Baldoni released on his website this morning.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Until recently, it seems like she's distancing herself, according to an inside source, which was released at TMZ this morning. She's smart. Allegedly. Okay, so where does this begin? There's a book. It ends with us.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I'm a white woman, too. You're a white woman. Finally. Okay. You guys let your wives read?

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That's a problem. And initially, and I don't know if she reads it later, but according to the text, in the pre-production, she hasn't read the book. She wants to just be living in the script and be married to the character in the script. Actually, I like that. Can I be honest with you? That's an excuse to be lazy, yo.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I'm just as surprised as you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
You weren't annoyed when they were like, you're perfect for the role.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then there's another thing that happens early on that's a little bit of a red flag. Baldoni's really, really strict on getting an intimacy coordinator. He wants an intimacy coordinator. He wants an intimacy coordinator. This is someone that comes into the production that is able to supervise all the sex scenes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I heard about it, yeah. You heard about it? Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And also to coordinate the sex scenes so that they play more realistically and that they sort of can tap into the audience that they're trying to reach. Realistic and still safe. That's your whole job. Got it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Now, she says specifically, I'll meet with them once we start filming. But she declines it in pre-production. Got it. And so some people look at this and say, oh, she's lazy. She declined. She's also working on other stuff. People say, oh.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Like, you got to be all in.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then other people say, no, she didn't decline the intimacy coordinator. She just postponed it for the scenes that required, like, you know, full-on intimacy, birth, et cetera. Yep. So that's, like, the big no that everyone's pointing at. She declines it. And then slowly addendums and changes to the script start to happen. So April 9th, 2023, she starts having notes on the rooftop scene.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
This is like an infamous scene where the two of them meet for the first time. And she wants to kind of like change the script a little bit. She wants to like revise it. She does her version of the scene. It kind of changes up a bunch of stuff, sends it to Baldoni. and says, hey, I've revised it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Before she sends it, she also makes a statement where she goes, a lot of times on these movies, I will rewrite whole scenes. I will add stuff to the movie that gets added in and I never get any credit. And sometimes I add stuff and people don't even want to hear it. I'm intimately involved in the production and no one gives me the time of day.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And that's really frustrating as an actor and all the stuff that I've done thus far in Hollywood.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
We just kind of put them in there. But you're a little different than Baldoni, turns out.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Okay, good. So, he's like, yeah, yeah, you can send me over your change.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Fair trade. Yeah, my bad on that one. My bad on that one. But she makes changes and then sends it over to him, and then he basically responds this. And I also think it's worth noting that it seems like Baldoni is potentially on the spectrum a little. That he says stuff and does things that are so well-intentioned, but that come off weird. Okay.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And so he basically says, hey, I really appreciate your passion on this. This is awesome. I think realistically the final version of this will probably be like a blend between like the original version and your version. That strikes you as someone on the spectrum?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
A white man is talking. Shut up.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
She interprets it as him going, Blake, hey, we're not going to use this, but I love your passion. I love that you're so into this, but we're not going to really use this. That's the way she interprets it. Oh.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
After that, she invites Baldoni to meet at her apartment in New York City.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
You're a housewife.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Workshop some wine. He's skinny now.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Now you made me feel bad.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That's not a problem. So basically, Baldoni shows up to the residence of Blake Lively and greeted at the door is Ryan Reynolds. He's very excited to see him. He's like, dude, we're so excited to work on this movie. Blake's been super obsessed with the script. This is going to be great. They sit down and they go through the script.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then at that same meeting, all of a sudden, a, quote, mega celebrity walks in and is also talking about the rooftop scene that Blake had adjusted. And she's like, oh, my goodness, we love Blake's version of the rooftop scene. Everyone loves the way Blake did the rooftop scene. Oh, so putting a little pressure on Baldonito. Now, this mega superstar is not strictly named.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I have noticed that in the timeline of events from Baldoni's website, there is actually an uncensored version. I don't know if it's on purpose or on accident, where they do say Taylor, which we can presume is Taylor Swift, who is the godparent to Blake Lively's children. Son, we got to send Mark's wife away more often.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That's what I was edging to. You pop a couple zins, you're locked in. So basically, there's a little bit of pressure being applied to Baldoni, it seems like. Everyone loves Blake's version of it. And this is actually important to note, because later, Blake will admit that it was actually not her that rewrote the rooftop scene, that it was Ryan Reynolds that rewrote the rooftop scene. Oof.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
To which Sony and the screenwriters are like, well, we have to give Reynolds a credit on this. We're violating our SAG
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
like union obligations this is like a huge nightmare you can't say that yeah but she goes on and says anyway but regardless in the moment she says i rewrote it he leaves and is basically like okay this is kind of wild that was on the 12th all right and then one second isn't that so manipulative she goes she goes to the guys like oh no one ever takes me seriously when i you know offer suggestions you're using that by saying i rewrote this scene meanwhile is your husband who rewrote the scene
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And I'm pretty sure it is at this point that he basically says something to the effect of like, hey, I loved your revision, even without the cosign of Taylor and Ryan. Like, you didn't even need to really bring them in. Like, your work stands on its own. And I thought it was great.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then she, I believe at this point, is when she sends the Khaleesi text that has now become famous, where she basically says, if you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate that I'm Khaleesi. And like her, I happen to have a few dragons, for better or for worse, but usually for better, because my dragons also protect those that I fight for.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So really, we all benefit from those gorgeous monsters of mine. You will, too. I can promise you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
so I don't know if you really want to say Anne dies at the end horrible metaphor and then I believe it's also around this point that he leaves her a voice note after she's sort of like expressing like yeah I didn't really like the way you responded to my original sort of addendum to the script you kind of brush me off Baldoni feels bad about it they have this whole intervention kind of it's like Taylor and everyone and this is when I believe he leaves this voice note that has now become released to the public
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Pause! Again, why are you breathing loud? And mold it into the goddamn voice note. Just get the information out. Alright? Why am I beating off to this voice memo?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I didn't even pick up on that one.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He goes on to say, like, hey, I'm not a perfect person. I'm going to do better going forward, and I'm so sorry for the pain it caused you, and I'm really excited to collaborate on this project further. Way sexier, though.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
She's come out in support of him, but she hasn't really been vocal in the whole saga. But she has obviously come out in support of him. She's a keeper.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So I think it comes up later that they're actually taking like metadata recordings where they're downloading all the like PDFs and everything. But I think they have all the text correspondence from their entire collaboration.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Basically, the voice note comes out, and again, we're fast-forwarding, but people are using this. This basically acts as a mirage or an optical illusion. If you think that this guy is a creep and a sexual harasser, and you hear this, and you're like, obviously, if you assume he's just a good, well-intentioned, male feminist type dude, and you're like, yeah, he's being so nice.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Everything he's saying is good, but the way he's saying it The voice is creepy, but the words are the right one. And everything he says, he's like, dude, I completely understand. Creepy? More like dream. That's true.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
There's an L.A. thing throughout all the text. If you read all the correspondence, the way that all of them talk to each other is sort of insufferable.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I would give the earth to work with you again, and the moon and the stars. We're destined to make this project.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
but the difference is that we actually like each other and then we argue in front of people whereas these people don't really like each other and they're all so nice 100% so the next phase that happens like escalates things crazy so that happened on April 14th 2023 April 22nd like a week later Baldoni goes in the movie in the script in the original script there's a scene where his character lifts up her character like picks her up and Baldoni has a bad back
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He's had many back surgeries. He has like a bulging disc in his back. He got that Luigi. Yeah, he's just been blown out. He's got his back blown out. And it's like a whole thing, right? So he goes to the personal trainer.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
What did you mean by that? I don't know if actually he's got his backbone.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That is a red flag. You have such a good back. You have the strongest back. The only good part of me. And basically he goes to the personal trainer and says something to the effect of, hey, I want to avoid injury. So how much would you estimate Blake Lively weighs? ballpark, just as a fruit, as a collection of fruits. If you had to guess, it's like 10 watermelons. What are we talking, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Looking back at a lot of the halftime shows, you kind of need one stadium anthem. Yeah. You need, like, a big orchestral, like, shut down the thing. You don't even need music. Just let everyone sing type song to really win that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He goes to the guy and says, how much does she weigh? And it's not really stated what the personal trainer responds with, but basically this comment gets back to Blake Lively. And she's pissed and offended and thinks it's completely inappropriate to be asking about the actress's weight as the director or as an actor, which again, he's playing both.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
120 at 5'10".
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So again, this is like some spectrum thing where it's like, okay, you're asking, you want to do the right thing, you have a bad back, you want to make sure you can do the scene properly, and also you don't want to make her feel bad if he goes to lift her and then his back is fucked up and he's like, oh, it's not you, it's me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
What if you just attached... A harness?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
There's got to be a way. Exactly, yeah. So apparently, I think they ended up working and rehearsing with like a body double while they're like trying to get the scene worked out. And then three days later...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
according again, this is to Baldoni's, uh, sort of online testimony of like evidence he's putting out, uh, that he's summoned to lively's penthouse in New York, where he's greeted by Reynolds who swore at Baldoni accused him of fat shaming quote, how dare you fucking ask about my wife's weight? What is wrong with you?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
The tone from Reynolds and lively was so aggressive that Baldoni felt he had no choice, but again, to offer complete, uh, offer repeated apologies. And, uh, for what was a good faith, reasonable question to the trainer, not lively and demanded that Baldoni, uh, Reynolds demanded that they remove the lift scene completely. Now, later, Lively claims that the lift scene was never in the movie.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
It's not in the movie currently. I'm pretty sure it's in the book, so it'd be in the movie. But they said that it was never even in the script. There is versions of the script that have it in there. They say it was removed in the edit. Again, yada, yada, yada. So that is, I think, where things really kind of start to turn, okay?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And that is his brand. It's like, I love, I'm a male feminist. I love women. Yeah. And then I'm fat shaming women on myself.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He was like asking how much I weighed.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Now it's worth noting that at this point, Lively had already expressed concern over her body. She's already told him like, hey, I want to be like in shape. I really treat this seriously.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
She had a baby. She had a baby.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
But she's already expressed, hey, I feel sort of insecure with my figure. And he assures her over and over, don't worry, we're going to make you look amazing. Don't even worry about this. This should be the last thing in your mind. You're a great mom. Don't even worry about it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He says like, yeah, you're great. Like, don't even worry. I don't know if he says specifically beautiful. He might have.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
But basically he's assuring her it's fine. And then later is asking about her weight to the personal trainer. Yeah. Some people see that as an infringement and some type of- How important is this lifting in the air scene?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Maybe.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He believes it adds to the story that he's a strong, powerful guy. And that's the way that he subverts her in order to abuse her later. So he thinks it's integral to the story that shows that he's dominant over her. He's able to move her around.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Gotcha. In this same meeting, Lively tells Baldoni that if he can't get on board with how she works, she has, quote, two weeks to recast her. He knows it's impossible to recast her at this point. They're already in pre-production. The wardrobe's already getting bought. And he's like, I'll work with however you want to work. You got it. Now, this kind of tips the scales, right? Pun intended.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Towards the side of her gaining more power over the whole production. And then the wardrobe thing becomes another big issue. Yeah. So basically the first day of principal photography, they capture her wardrobe. Apparently she's doing like all of her own wardrobe. She's like dressing herself.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And there's like a whole issue with the money. The money thing is crazy. Like they have a budget allocated like half a million dollars or something like that. She's spent like six hundred fifty thousand. Again, some people say that's completely normal and that they return stuff and shrink down the budget later.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Other people saying that she's being gratuitous with the spending and is not worried about the budget that's getting put up. But again, this becomes another point of contention where they're talking to her about the wardrobe stuff. Also, when the pictures leak of the wardrobe, everyone hates it. All the fans of the book are like, this is not what the girl looks like in the book.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So, like, this is an actual message that they even put in the group chat to discuss her wardrobe. They're like, this is not how she looks. And this is from two years ago, and all the comments are like, this is atrocious. That's $600? Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So that's adding to everything, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So this is now getting backlash. Sony's talking about it. Everyone's like now concerned with the casting and the wardrobe. It's like just causing problems on the set. And then basically right around this time, there's the writer's strike. And so the Writers Guild is basically on strike and now there's like picketing going on at all the production days.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then on May 29th, right before they stopped filming officially, Wayfair was made aware that Lively had placed calls to Sony to share grievances. So here are a couple of grievances. One, Baldoni made a comment about her looking sexy on set in regards to her wardrobe that the character Lily was wearing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
uh apparently she was also shown uh pornography is how it was sort of described in the press but then in this uh complaint to sony that she was shown a birth video and then lastly she shared that one of the assistant directors i wanted to replace her like get her out of there So Baldoni has responses to all of these grievances. Do you want to hear those or this is just where it's at right now?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Baldoni says that like the birth video thing was like a non-issue. Like there's a birth scene and they asked her like, hey, do you want to see a picture of one of the other producers home birth? And she was like, oh, let me finish eating. And he like had it on his phone, but never showed her. And it was completely consensual. It was not pornography. It was just video of birth.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Um, the, the sexy comment came because Blake Lively was talking about how she wants the character to be sexy. She says it throughout the text. She's like, I want the character to be sexy. I want the character to be sexy. And then he goes, you look sexy. And then in one of the scenes, she's wearing like a onesie with a coat on and he goes, Oh, take the coat off.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Cause like, it'll make the character like more sexy. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
she interprets that as like what the fuck is this guy doing he's like leaving me voicemails he's like this is like he's such a creep and now he's telling me I should be sexy da da da da and then the directors the ADs that are asking to replace her the ADs end up getting removed and Baldoni's like yeah they were causing trouble on the set they wanted to recast Lively I said you guys gotta go
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And so that's where things stand. And then on the 14th, they go on strike. And so production stops. And then it's in this whole time that, again, power starts to shift.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And I think it's right around this time that like there's kind of a standoff. No one really knows what's gonna happen. They resume shooting in January and she comes back with a list of non-negotiables. So even more stuff than now she's flagging to everyone. Sony, everyone involved. And the non-negotiables are everything from the stuff we read before, but they're more egregious.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I can go through them one by one. But basically, he's basically saying, like, these are... I'm not coming back to film unless y'all give me these things. And so we need an all-hands meeting. I need access to the dailies. I need access to script revisions.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I need people to not be walking into my trailer while I'm breastfeeding because you guys walked in and you were trying to see me breastfeeding, which later she says in text, like, I know you weren't trying to cop a look, but it made me uncomfortable. Right. I think she actually invited him. She said, I'm breastfeeding. Yeah, exactly. He released that text. Yeah, precisely.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He releases that to show like it wasn't really a problem, that there was one time where multiple people walked in and then they kind of like turned away and it wasn't really an issue. Again, he said, she said.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Candace is coming. Candace is coming.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yes, I'm a man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I believe you. Hey, we believe you over here, Candice. Just keep that energy open.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So she's got all these demands. They kind of capitulate against the advice of some of the other producers. They're like, yo, stop giving her all this power. And so she's just gaining more and more power. I want addendums to the script. Give me the drama. Give me the gossip. Give me the Perez Hilton. I got to pull up one more thing. Let the hair down.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
This is where things go a little wild. January 4th, Baldoni, another one of the executives from Wayfair, a Sony executive, and an A-list producer that was brought in by Lively and Reynolds meet at her apartment. It was January 4th.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
As the team prepared, they have their production binders on hand, and basically Reynolds then starts berating Baldoni, demanding that he apologize to Lively for the actions that either had never occurred or had been grossly mischaracterized. Baldoni resists apologizing for things he had not done, which further enraged Reynolds. Again, this comes from Baldoni's testimony here on his website.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Everyone, including the new producers, are lively, have requested to join the production and the Sony executives. They quote that they had never seen anything like this happen in their productions or have never seen an executive or director spoken to in such a manner during a meeting.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Later, the Sony representatives shared that they often reflected on the meeting and regretted not intervening to stop Reynolds' tirade against Baldoni. So... Now Reynolds is involved. He's talking that shit. And tensions are rising. So everyone's pissed off. They somehow complete the filming. And then it's basically in the aftermath of the edit that everything just gets fucked.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
So they're now fighting over the final cut of the film. And they're doing pre-promo where they're like filming all this stuff before the trailer's announced. Baldoni's not involved in any of it. So they hire Reynolds company to do a lot of the production stuff. So now it's like the whole cast. It's Blake Lively. It's everyone else in the movie. It's the book writer, the author.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And Baldoni's not involved in any of it, which is very strange that the director and like the other co-lead is not involved in the film. So film gets released and then they're basically like, okay, who's going to do the final edit? Thank you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves

I thought you said you wasn't going to hate today. That's not hate. That's facts. That's hate. That's data. Look at Spotify.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And then they dropped the clip with audio, which no one knew at that time, at least, that there was audio. We can watch some of it. Again, this is another cultural mirage, where depending on what you believe is what you see.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He don't know. He don't know. He don't know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Jabberwocky. Jabberwocky. It's like Blue Man Group.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
They don't all look alike. What are you saying? But he don't even wear a mask. If Flo Rida walked in this room. He doesn't wear a mask.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And so she's suggesting, hey, we should be talking. We should be talking right now. And he's like, oh, I think it's more romantic if we just look at each other. Almost Kissing is also good. And she agrees. And she says, but we're still talking.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
But at this point, I'm pretty sure they hate each other.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Oh, that's what they alleged. The allegations are they hate each other. At this point in the film, I don't know the exact date that this scene happens. I'm going to lower the audience.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah. All right. So where are we? They come out with this and say this is proof that no sexual misconduct occurred, that everything's being talked about. Multiple people are there. There is no intimacy coordinator. Yeah. Which they say Lively turned down. Lively said, I didn't turn it down. I just didn't need it for this scene because in the script, there's no intimacy. It's just us dancing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Do they really? So different. It's unbelievable. It's exhibited. Actually, I don't know. That's Flo Rida?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Lively's team says this is absolute proof that this guy was being sexually inappropriate on set, that he was abusing his power as the director and the producer to have a sexual moment with the lead that he's also the co-lead with. Okay. And then that's basically where it stands. And people are like, hey, what does it mean?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He puts out the voice recording at this point where people are like, see, this is more proof. And then there's a trial date that's set.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That's being serious. I thought that was Dame Dash.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I'm dead. I said, back it up.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Back it up, doctor. Nah, it's got to be a chicken dance or something. It can't be a cute song.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
People also point out, like, why would he, this guy that has a Hollywood career, sexually harass a woman who comes from, like, a legacy family that's not, like, young in the scene. She's not, like, a fringe character. She's the co-lead and a producer.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah, like if you comment about my feet, that's sexual harassment.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Okay.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
It's close enough.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He's been here for a year. Hey, Archer, get your way up. Give him your heart right now. Give him your heart right now. You can lift Archer.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
People also point out that in this scene, she makes comments about his nose, which he's publicly talked about being insecure about. Yeah. And she's like, yeah, yeah, don't be too sideways. What you insecure about?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Noses are very sexual. Noses are.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That's true.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
He didn't have a big nose. That is true. Why did he hate Jews? Why? Because why? He was ashamed of how small his nose was.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Take your heart back. Take your heart back from him. Take it back from him.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then I just hide in the corner. I'm like, damn, I'm not going in there.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah, I believe it. You can tell, right, by my voice? No, I'm just saying.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Why are you doing that? Do we need an intimacy coordinator?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
The lead is 23 in the book. Yeah. And she's 35, I think. I mean, what are we doing, dude? And then on top of that, she's dressing older, it seems like. So the character's 40. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah. Because you hate someone else more. Yep. You see these people that are like, oh, fake woke, and they want everyone to be happy, and they want equity, and they're donating to brown people in different countries. And then the second someone fucks with their money, they're coming forward, they're slandering him, they're taking his name, they're running him through the dirt. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I thought it was like a little shit. The producer could have brutally. I thought that would work. Now I'm trying to say it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Imagine putting an end to the Super Bowl halftime show. There would be no more Super Bowl halftime shows. I don't think they would let black people even play in the Super Bowl after that. Oh, yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And everyone was very conspiracy theory. And they're like, oh, Taylor's going to be at the Super Bowl and Blake Lab's going to be right next to her. And she's going to show that that's her girl and that they're riding together. And she wasn't there.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
It's the gift and the curse. But a man is not a career alone. A man is a career and a family. And now he's pot committed to his wife. He can't just let his wife drown. Now he got to separate himself.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might have to do that. But he's in a tough spot because if he rides with Blake, it's possible he could tank his career. But if he distances himself, then it's possible he could lose his family. So what do you do?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Can I tell you, Mike? The suit is also levied not only against Baldoni. I'm pretty sure it's levied against the production company and the other billionaire producers. The Blake Lively lawsuit. Yeah, that lawsuit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
What's tricky is that they already tried to force him to put out an apology. So they wrote an apology for him when they had all the producers there. Who was they? Blake and... When Reynolds was yelling at him. They gave him an apology, and they said, you got to put this out. We wrote it, and it says, there's been problems on the set. I take accountability.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
That's what it means to be man enough, quoting his podcast name. And, you know, it's my fault, and there's some misunderstandings, but everything's good. So they tried to get him to do an apology, and he said no.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
I think Baldoni.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
A thousand percent. Six months from now, let's say nothing changes and it's just a stalemate waiting for court. I think people go and they go, oh, yeah, wasn't Blake Lively a bitch? Who got more to lose? I think that's what the average person thinks.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
But the terms of settlement don't get released, or that could be part of the agreement. That always gets released. Also, Baldoni's lawyer is making their life hell. He's saying like, oh, Taylor Swift was involved in casting, which is what one of the actors said. So now she's a producer. Oh, Taylor Swift was involved with the music, and she was in production. Oh, okay.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
She helped rewrite one of the scenes. We got to depose her. And now he's trying to leverage that, which is why Taylor's now saying, like, I wasn't really involved.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
But Baldoni's in such an advantageous position, which is why also this is such a big story, because all the texts are leaked. It's just feeding the fucking gossip sites for generations, literally. And WWE doesn't back you.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
It depends on what they have. It depends what their hand is. You know what I mean? Like, Baldoni just showed it. He's like, yo, I got, you know, two kings. They're playing blackjack. And it's like, maybe they got an ace? Like, you don't know. So you just got to wait. And then if they fold, then it's like, yeah, they were bluffing. And if they go to court, then they're like, no, we think we got it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Call. Do you want to put it in the court of public opinion to let it then get potentially thrown out in court? Or do you just wait to the court date? We're going to sit on it because we know we're going to win in court. I mean, that's fine. That's a year from now. What happens to Ryan Reynolds if they lose?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
And then you fund the minority power. And then you create the need for American imperialism to be present in the country because now there's this culture war that's stoked. Ah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Kendrick Halftime Show & How Reynolds/Lively Cancelled Themselves
Yeah, I mean, I think they have like legacy acts and stuff. I think it's just like a, it's an event for country lovers.

I would think the highest paid profession should be cops, teachers, doctors. These are positions you want the best people going to. And if I'm a cop making great money, the idea that I might mess around and do some corrupt stuff or treat somebody badly and it might cost me this job that pays me well, I don't think it's worth it. Good point. You can weed a lot of them out.

Yes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
That's everything. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's very key. But that's what I'm saying. My worry about Trump is this distraction. And look, America, something's going to happen. Like every presidency, 9-11, right? Nine months into the Bush administration, 9-11. All of a sudden, the whole narrative is different. Under Biden, Afghanistan, it wasn't planned. It just fucking happened. The Ukraine. Trump won.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

COVID literally changed everything. You know, something.

will happen katrina or whatever and those are the clarifying moments when the magnifying glass comes on to you and when if the magnifying glass if america doesn't like what it sees they will turn on your ass so quick george hw bush went 91 to losing the election in a span of 18 months like you can just get blown the fuck out it's your reaction to that cataclysmic it's usually when you say george hw bush lost you mean he went down the republicans lost in 2008
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
No, in 1992, George H.W. Bush. George H.W. Bush had a 90% approval rating in 1991. Blown the fuck out in the 92 election. Again, 04. Was that something happened or was it Ross Perot splitting? Dude, it was just like there was an economic modest depression at the time. People felt 12 years of trickle down economics. Like, I don't fucking trust you anymore.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah. Remember Clinton ran on that like, hey, we're going to...
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
cold war whatever they thought it was too yeah my point is just that america's very fickle they will turn on your ass very quickly almost every president the biggest danger don't you don't uh you read too much into your mandate and you do something that didn't people quite voted for and then you also under deliver on what you did and if you fall into that trap even in a feelings level you lose that's that's the great worry yeah that's with uh canada and
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Look, I'm very supportive of tariffs because I believe in American manufacturing. But the problem is, is that it cannot be something that's ad hoc and haphazard. It has to have a plan. We need to feel as if, yes, the washing machine will cost more. It's because my cousin is going to get a job at this factory that's going to be coming back to here.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And when we feel as if it's like it's coming in and it's off and it's all capricious, as in like it's up to Trump's like however he feels that day coming back and forth and the markets are swinging like this. And I'm still don't have the plan yet. That's when people start to. And again, he's still got a lot of runway. He's got runway, but you need to be careful. Okay. I'm worried about Doge.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I'm worried about the tariff stuff too. We need plans.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Okay, so the opinion part of a newspaper is old school tradition, and it's when guys like William Randolph Hearst and similar oligarchs owned these, and they wanted to use their paper to express an opinion.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Oh, sorry. But they actually wore oligarchs. No, I know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Just say he was a filthy, rich, politically connected person. Magnate. He was a journalism magnate. Perfect. OK, that's who William Randolph Hearst was. Yeah. OK, so Bezos, what he has done is he wants the Washington Post. And it's also let me explain this about newspaper economics. The op ed section is always the most popular. Like, the most read thing in the Washington Post is not the news.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The news in and of itself has always been subsidized by something else.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, that's right. Exactly. So, for example, the news itself, people don't want to pay for it. They want to pay for opinion. They want to pay for classified ads. The news has always been a secondary thing funded by something else.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The problem is here is that Bezos is showing us he doesn't actually care about his business because the Washington Post subscription base are people who, what, their democracy dies in the darkness. That's why 200,000 of them canceled their subscription whenever they didn't endorse Kamala. They just lost 75,000 more by saying we're only going to – Support free markets and liberties or whatever.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So what did they say?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
great point if you got an issue with the muslim migrants keep that same energy that's right now what we can say on this pot is that's an american struggling abroad that needs our help and we gotta go protect those americans though he's a dual citizen he's an american yeah he's happy he's american he's also romanian so it's like well which law triumphs american what's your american you're always american yeah all right yeah that's like in rome it's like he if when you have the row when you're a roman citizen nobody fucks with you that's that that was the rule yeah
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
What he really means is let's fire all the woke people and let's get rid of the people who are Russiagators, which is what the Washington Post op-ed page has been for the last basically eight years. And let's promote— Bezos is a jet.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Which is free, free market, free market, but not antitrust. You know, it's like that. That's a little not too free enough.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It might be the truest interpretation. Well, I think let's take Bezos out of it. Let's look at all of the biggest news companies. That's what they are. For example, do you know, like, look at Bloomberg News. That's one of the most important things. Its job is to do what? It's to protect the Bloomberg terminal and the integrity of the U.S. market.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah. Which you have to take a bridge apart for. Exactly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And I see you walking down the street.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Please, please, please. This is actually a return to normal, and I appreciate this. Can you explain how that— So, back in the old days, newspapers were partisan vehicles.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
No. Alexander Hamilton was a founding father. But anyway.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
All right. Let me give you an example. During the Civil War, you would have papers that are like the Kansas City Democrat and the Kansas City Republican. And it was in the name. They were party paper. And what they did is they ran news and op-eds that was like, we're fucking Democrats and fuck the other side. That is the history of the American newspaper industry. Wow.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Now, what happened is basically you had— Founded in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think it was the Washington Post.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So in the past, newspapers were explicitly partisan. So I mentioned William Randolph Hearst. William Randolph Hearst was like, I want to go into the Spanish-American War. That's something I want. And so he used his op-ed and his newsmen to push that agenda. But he was very open. about it. He was like, this is my agenda. This is what I want. Later on, he wanted to keep America out of World War II.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He would run a lot of Lindbergh stuff. That's what his agenda was. What happened is after World War II, we had this very weird moment where you had nonpartisan media, which was still partisan. But the problem is the distribution. So you had the big papers and the big networks, the big three channels, which all Americans were watching. They had to appear nonpartisan.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And so corporations could sponsor them and reach as many people as possible.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
This idea of unbiased journalism. No, biased journalism is the most authentic journalism that has always existed. It's called the yellow journalism industry. And it was born on the streets of a great American city here in New York. You had the New York Herald. You had the New York Post. You had the New York Star. And they were all different competing both ideologies.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And it was one not only just for attention, but it was about pushing agendas. These people were People would love, for example, the guy who loved The Herald. I'm blanking on his name. They liked him. He was not just an oligarch. He was a society figure, a Gilded Age person. People would support him. And it was about picking teams, and I think that's a good thing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think it's healthy because it removes the veneer. The news was just as fake and partisan in 1960 as it was today. It's actually worse today. in my opinion. And if you think about Vietnam, James Gordon Bennett, that's right. An amazing figure. But my point is like when Walter Cronkite was seen as nonpartisan, it was easier for us to push into war in Vietnam.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And it shouldn't take Cronkite being like, the trust has been broken. America cannot lose here or win here in Vietnam. It's like, no, we needed the grand debate instead of the manufactured consent of Which is what pushed us into all of these Bay of Pigs. I mean, this is what—they were very conscious about it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
There was this controlled op-ed page in the Washington Post, which was nonpartisan, even though, yeah, okay. The guy who was running it, Catherine Graham's husband, is best friends with John F. Kennedy. And it just turns out that Kennedy, one of the very first stops he makes on his inauguration night—
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It's to a bunch of Washington Post columnists who later become the chief proponents and defenders of Vietnam policy, which was Kennedy's policy to keep America in Vietnam. But they were seen as nonpartisan. It's like, no, we need to remove the nonpartisanship. Partisanship is good, actually. You just need to trust—
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The illusion is so dangerous.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Because, like I said, I mean, when all of America's news was telling us that the war in Vietnam was good and that we needed to go and find it, Americans believed that, and they signed up to send their sons and daughters. Dude, Iraq is the perfect example in 03. I mean, we did not have—if we had what we had today—
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Just based on the information, somebody like me, Glenn Greenwald, who was actually fighting this fight at the time, I'd be like, yo, yellow cake, uranium, complete bullshit. This is wrong. The outcome of this would be a disaster. America didn't even have an option on cable television.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
of course they support the roger ailes saying this is the real the real news yeah did you read that book i recommend a dude can't recommend enough the loudest voice in the room yeah roger ailes and how he understood he has a great quote which is people don't want to be informed they want to feel informed yeah that's he understood america he created fox news he created fox news that's right but then don't you have way more echo chambers and yes i think you know what though at the end
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It's like the printing press. The printing press led to 30 years of war on the European continent and mass death. It was still a good thing. We have more information. Because, yes, it led to the Protestantism. It led to civil war. It led to all of these debates. But at the end of the day, it was like the Catholic Church no longer controlling the minds of the serfdom. It led to the Renaissance.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It led to ideas. So, look, the Internet is the printing press. We're returning to the mean. We have a new form of distribution. We can debate. How long have we been going here? Like three hours?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
we're sitting here we're fucking talking and all this would never air 45 years ago this america was locked the fuck in to bullshit the echo chamber is already staunch and again the thing is that echo chamber is 10 times worse than any echo chamber today even the most echo chambered republican is still has access to liberal media even the most echo chambered liberal still has access and can go at any time they want to ben shapir or whatever uh somebody's out there 45 years ago
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
a ceasefire ukrainians can support exactly yes okay so you were saying okay so in this meeting also been to russian strippers too okay i didn't do anything didn't touch them at all right just want to let you know yeah well you probably should you should i wouldn't
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Like actual left-wing? Jacobin, sure. The socialist newspaper. The socialist newspaper. It's called Jacobin.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But no, but my point is how when I was talking about Ukraine, I was like, hey, I have a real bias because I cannot tell you. I'm honestly Ukraine is probably one of my top issues like foreign policy. I cannot give you the real pro Ukraine side with the same enthusiasm that I do. I tried. I tried to do the whole steel man thing. Yeah. But I'm just not going to do it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
If you want to hear that, go to David Ignatius. Go to Max Boot. Go to Anne-Marie Slaughter. Any of these people. These real neocons. They believe in this shit. Please go read them. Don't just listen to me. Because you need all your information. This is how you get. I agree with you. That's what I'm saying. Trust the institutions. Yes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So what we have in this meeting is not only all of this beef around conscription, but really what happened is that Vance started to get very frustrated. He was like, you come here to the Oval Office of the United States. You disrespect this office. The worst mistake Zelensky made is that as Trump is getting furious, Zelensky... This is the line. This was the line. He's like, you have no cards.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Dude, it's only a 50 year old idea. It's an aberration in America. America is always been. Do we have the California Democrat, the California Republican? They're at war with their own state. How should we govern gold policy? Should we be in the Civil War? Even in the Confederacy, they had different papers being like, we need to do this. No, we don't need to do that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Like it's the bias and the dueling perspective. That's how it's always been. The 1950s was an asterisk in an otherwise like a country that has always been. We've always recognized that news and information in and of itself is not actually all that valuable as in X, Y and Z happened. People don't want to know that they want to go X, Y and Z happened. And what did it mean?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And that is what the newspaper and the information industry is all about. So I'm still very optimistic because in the Internet age, it's not just about declining trust in mainstream media. It's about an explosion of a new possibility. And there'll be a lot of bullshit out there, just like the. of the printing press was mostly what? Pornography, conspiracy theory, whatever. It was starting wars.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It was chaotic. But the net benefit was lack of control by singular institutions with their own agendas. And I think the decentralization of this will be very chaotic and it will not necessarily be comfortable, but I think we'll end up in a better place.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Oh, the ocean.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, that's right. He was like, don't tell us what to be afraid of. I mean, this is Trump. Trump is not only transaction. It's about respect. Apparently, they told Zelensky to wear a suit before he came. And he didn't wear it. Zelensky decided not to. Trump called him out. Did you see Trump call him out? Yeah, he goes, oh, you're dressed up. What did he say?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You're dressed up.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He's basically acting. He's been acting this way for three years. That's the shocking part of it is he has this false. Look, I mean, this is where I'm going to put my own bias on the table. Let's look at all of the arguments for supporting Ukraine. Number one is that we need to defend NATO. And you're like, OK, well, Ukrainians are or Ukraine's not in NATO. Yeah, I got it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Two, we need to defend democracy. It's like, yeah, I mean, it's a democracy in the way that any corrupt Eastern European country is. Zelensky's canceled elections. Their parliament or their constitution says they can't even hold an election during wartime. He has banned opposition parties, censored the media. I mean, it doesn't look that democratic to me.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And actually, one of the core demands of the United States is like, hey, you need to hold an election. And he's like, no, we can't do that. We can't possibly do that. Yeah. Until even in his even in his interview on Fox News afterwards, they're like, would you resign? He's like, that is up to Ukrainians. I'm like, how? They can't. How does that work? Yeah. Three was OK.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And this is the most sinister and the disgusting one is, well, we need to support Ukraine because we're weakening Russia, which means what? Which is that we are. forcing the Russians to pour millions of men into Ukraine and kill as many Russians as possible. And somehow that's in the national interest of the United States, is that we're weakening Russia and we're making their economy poorer.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Here's the thing. Russia's not like here. It's also not a democracy in a sense. They don't give a shit about a million guys who get killed. Go look at their history. What always happens? The war is a disaster. It's a total shithole.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
shit show they make up for it with the vast you know population that they have they pour as many people in there very inefficiently they kill a shit ton and for some reason the population i mean they don't love it but they're not rioting in the streets in the way that i mean in america it's like dude it's part of their lore like in the soviet union they lost almost 20 percent of their population that's a foundational myth we went to their country we went to uh russia as well we did comedy and we did comedy in russia not what actually must be hard what we did in ukraine and uh
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And the advantage of that is there's like a suffering built into the culture. It's in their story. Yeah. Like their story going back to the 1600s is just invasion, is projection. All of Russian national security policy all the way back to the time of the Tsars is what? Defense through depth is vastness. Our population, we conquer as much as we can, force the population to come through.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Do you guys ever watch the HBO's Rome? Do you know what I'm talking about?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I mean, they've had horrible episodes. They were conquered by the Mongols that went through and devastated all the way up to Kiev. I mean, obviously invaded by the Nazis, invaded by Napoleon. Their strength is their vastness, is their population and their just capacity for suffering. Capacity for suffering is huge.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
There's a great, spoiler alert, sorry, I came up 20 fucking years ago. Where I think it was Pompeii got his head cut off by, I think it was Cleopatra or the Egyptians. Okay. And Caesar arrived and they're like, we cut his head off and they're expecting him to be happy and they're like, nobody. Yeah. executes a Roman citizen, except for another Roman citizen. That's fire. I fucking love that scene.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And I'm talking about actual war since the Civil War. Oh, yeah. That's the closest we ever came. And what was that? Two percent of the U.S. population was killed. Remember, they got 20 percent of their population. That was. They had general orders during Stalin, the not one step back policy.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Stalin's son was captured and he threw his daughter-in-law in prison because they said any person who gets captured, your whole family is going to the gulag. That is the DNA. Now, I don't know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Only men, right? They just lived through the worst conflict. I actually read a book about what Moscow was like when they thought the Nazis were about to come. And it was the most debaucherous like party that the Moscow apparently had ever seen. Like people were just housing vodka, like having sex in stairwells. And they were right. They were excited. They were there was just like, this is it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

They're about to die. We're all about to die. And so they just it was crazy, man. It's the same way. If you read about how our guys behaved in London, the airmen in World War Two, you're like. yo, dude, this is disgusting. You're like, this is bad, man.

She had nice stockings. Apparently that's what they really like. Don't you dare. U.S. soldiers were paid five times the wage of a British soldier at the time. The guys had no chance. The Brits were furious about it. They're like, our invasion is here of these Yanks. They're oversexed, overpaid, and over here. That was like a huge thing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I like that. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Well, that's actually an interesting thing. So first, I think the North Koreans want battle experience because they have one of the world's largest militaries. But two is the North Koreans have tons of ammunition. They have a stockpile. And actually, this is a useful thing for geopolitics. I saw a tweet today. They're like, why- is the world take Russia seriously?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Like smaller GDP than Texas, you know, all of this. And I was like, oh, the answer is like 9,000 nuclear weapons. It's like the same thing with North Korea. I don't even know what the North Korean GDP is. Like probably a county in Joplin, Mississippi.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
There you go. Okay. All right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, of course.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
No, it's total bullshit. painted over the side of the ships and then Russian oil became no name oil. Well, this is a very useful exercise in like how power works. So America, like our economy doesn't do, we don't produce anything. We're a service-based economy. We consume. And so we were like, oh, well, we'll cut the Russians off from here and we're going to fuck them over.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And it's like, oh, Russian GDP is exploding. Their war production is incredible. They've increased year over year. Their GDP is expanding or their economy is expanding because of war production. We tried to Karen them. We canceled. No. Yeah. We literally tried to do business with Russia.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, and they made a shitload of money. And actually, the European Union has spent more in year three just on Russian oil than they have given to Ukraine. So there's a lot of talking out of all sides of their mouth. But this is a very useful lesson for America. Guns, bullets, oil, that's the only shit that matters. That's all that matters. Oh, NVIDIA stock or what? It's bullshit. It means nothing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Chill, chill, chill. In a war, it means not to hold. We need this market to hold.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We need this market to hold. There's some bad signs on the horizon. Stop it. Oh, yeah, that's interesting. What's happening? Oh, goodness. I mean, check the, what's the S&P 500? Oh, God. I don't think it's good. It's been dropping like 1.5%. Yeah, but Nvidia shows big earnings and they have a new chip that's going to do really well.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, the S&P is flat on the month, which is not great, but it's been dropping a little bit from some of the early highs. Yeah, there's some signs that it looks like there might be a lot. Yes, I mean, don't get me wrong. It's like, we're still doing fine. I hit up my guy and I was like, are we selling?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Crypto's in the tank. Yeah, crypto's the next guy. Okay, not really, though. It's like when Bitcoin crashes from 100 to 80, you're like, come on, bro. You know what I mean? Two months, that's kind of crazy. Okay, sure, but I'm not saying, okay, it's like, what does crash mean?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I'm taking America. I mean, I don't even believe in dual citizenship, to be clear. I don't even think it should be allowed. Can I go one further? Yeah, go ahead. I don't even believe we need passports. Okay, why not? Oh, as Americans. We're coming home. Yeah, you're right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And this is also where we should be honest about the S&P, where it's like, look, it's still up 20% on the year or something like that. Don't even talk about S&P. It's fucking fine.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
What is NVIDIA right now? But you got to speak about it in the same way as Bitcoin then. Sure. Yeah, absolutely.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Listen, I'm saying in terms of national character. For example, I've been thinking a lot about this with cars. Look, American cars, if we're being honest and if we had a totally free market, I'm buying a Chinese EV yesterday. Wait, what? Are you kidding me? They're incredible. There's this guy, Forrest Auto Reviews. He's so good. He does all these videos showing BYD, the Xiaomi cars.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The BYD just rolled out full self-driving for even their car that costs fucking $10,000. If you buy a Tesla, FSD will cost you- No, no, no, no. I don't want these to be sold here. I don't want them to be sold here. But that's my point, is that we have to recognize our cars, even though they suck. This car industry, it's not only jobs. During World War II, what did we do?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The Ford factory, that's rolling tanks off of there, right? That's what the Russians have. The Russians don't prioritize economic growth. They prioritize guns, bullets, and strategic autonomy. So this is also the problem with Ukraine. Ukraine does not have any of that. They're totally reliant on the United States and on Europe.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So you're giving us the facts.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think he's been huffing European glue. So the thing is, is that if you look right now, so right now, literally as you and I are speaking, they're in London crafting a peace agreement, which they're going to propose to us. But this is where it's all bullshit. So France and Germany came up with a peacekeeping plan. We're like, We'll have 30,000 troops there. You don't have to do anything. No U.S.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
troops on the ground. I'm like, okay, good. They're like, but you have to pay for it. You have to provide ISR, which is intelligence support, you know, and all that. You have to do your ISR. You have to provide all the bullets. You have to pay for it. And so what are you revealing to us?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
is that France and Germany don't even have the capacity to forward deploy 30,000 peacekeeping troops in a tiny country like Ukraine. I'm saying compared to the rest of the globe. What should that tell you? These militaries are nothing. NATO's own chief says that the Russians produce more ammo in three months than all of NATO combined in an entire year. That's with the United States.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It's like when you go to Thailand and they're like, you got to get 45 days. I'm like, what do you think I'm fucking seeing?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
United States. Zelensky is acting as if there's another option. Yes, he thinks that he can't be so naive. He is. Oh, man, I think he is. The rhetoric that's coming. Is he trying to do a deal? He wants the UK and France and Germany and all the other NATO countries to give him a security guarantee before he will provide or he will sign any ceasefire or any deal.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But again, as I just told you guys, any peacekeeping deal signed by France or Germany is bullshit because they don't have anything. So here's the thing. Why? They're paper tigers. I heard what he said.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
No, he's actually correct about that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Well, it matters because Uncle Sam is the person who is signing underneath it. That's the fundamental difference.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Okay, so let's talk about that too. I hear this a lot from the pro-Ukraine.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You're not wrong at all. And that's why you should have shut your fucking mouth. And you should sign that minerals deal, because in that minerals deal, it was a strategic interest for the United States to have a free, a sovereign Ukraine, a business relation. For example, why do we care about Europe or Taiwan or any of these places? You think we care about fucking democracy?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We care about the TSMC chip. in Taiwan, okay? Why do we care about Vietnam? Because they make all of our clothing. Why do we care about Germany? How many German cars are on the road? All relations between states come down to trade. That is a fundamental insight.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The problem of the post-World War II order is what's led to this, is that we have decided, oh, it's democracy and feelings and all this other bullshit. It's like, no, the purpose of a Navy is not to- So you're saying the trade deal- Yeah.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Bingo. The United States economy, yes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah. Well, this is a well, that's a bigger question of whether we should even have NATO membership for a lot of these. Look, it's settled. It doesn't matter. The U.S. Senate has ratified the treaty. But there were a lot of people in the 90s when they were talking about NATO expansion into Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We're like, guys, this is in the traditional not only sphere of influence, but what compelling interests does the United States have in these three countries? Like bilateral trade of those three probably does not even equal bilateral trade between us in a single province or a single state in Mexico. And see, this is the thing. We don't want to talk in balance sheet terms, and it's important.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But coming back to your point, you're right. But here's the problem. You have no leverage. And at the end of the day, you do not matter to the United States. And this is my bias, again, but. At the end of the day, the United States has no compelling interest over who compels the Donetsk region of Ukraine. They just don't.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
In fact, all of Ukraine, even before the invasion, ranked like 50 some billion bilateral trade with the United States. That's one fourth of what we do with Brazil. If Brazil was invaded by Argentina and be like. See you. I was like, good luck. Work it out. I'll buy my coffee from Columbia.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You're in the 51st state now. That's right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Well, because on that plane. Can you explain that?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Which they did.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
They were like, hey, we have rare earths too, by the way, in Russia, which they do.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You want Greenland. No, no, no.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Sure.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He's played his cards incredibly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
No, not this. Up until this, you will study Zelensky. And I do not like Zelensky. I think he's taking advantage of the United States. He's an arrogant prick. All of this.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The way he handled himself immediately after with the media, by convincing the West and others that there is this compelling interest, he was managed to get $100 billion from the world's superpower, more than we spent on 20 years of the Afghan National Security Forces we have sent to Ukraine in three years. Think about that. That's fucking insane.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The greatest transfer of military aid in modern U.S. history. On top of that, he convinces all of these European nations, Germany, France, the great powers, not only to come to his defense, but to tie his borders to their own and say it is the strategic interest of the French, of the German, of the U.K. people to make sure that we're compelling.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And, you know, in the beginning, a lot of them did support that. But, and this is where it all starts to fall apart, now we're watching... what will actually happen with a Europe led by Europeans. So when we look at the polling that's in the UK and France and in Germany, they're like support for Ukraine was sky high. Now they're like, should we continue or should we have a deal?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
In almost every country, it's flipped. So the Europeans are now in a position where they would probably have to increase military aid to their maximum capacity, give them everything not stripped down to the ground, and they would still maybe... I don't know, maybe one sixth or something like that. And it wouldn't matter to Russia because Russia just keeps drawing bodies.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I mean, already the United States, we have given Ukraine $67 billion in military aid. That's more than every other country in the world combined, right? The Europeans are like, oh, we've given Ukraine a bunch of aid. It's like, bro, you're being a fucking refugee. Yeah, but I'm saying you could throw- You can throw $10 trillion at Ukraine and Russia will just match it with dead bodies.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Why not? I mean, they wore their MAGA hats for Trump Jr. Did they really? Well, I mean, there's controversy around it. Why not? Well, because they're saying that they rounded up a bunch of homeless Greenlanders and gave them MAGA hats. I don't know if that's true. They say that it's not true. I don't think there's homeless Greenlanders. That's what I was thinking.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, almost certainly. I mean, it's a little more complicated than that. I think the only thing that would really change is nuclear weapons on the ground, which is not happening. But that's actually, let's return to that. Because one of the ways that the Ukrainians often bring up why America has to support them, and not just should, is the Budapest Agreements.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And back in the Budapest Memorandum, which was in the 90s, where they agreed to give up their nuclear weapons. And in exchange, the United States was like, yeah, we'll think about protecting it. Oh, it's not. We're going to protect. No, no. And even if we had said that, it was never ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And this is where you have to flip it and think about the Russian justification for invasion, where they said your secretary of state said we will not expand NATO. That's true. Our secretary of state burns under George H.W. Bush. He was like, look. We're not going to expand NATO. Don't worry about it. They were like, OK, that's the position of the U.S. government. Well, what changed? They lost.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
They lost the election. Bill Clinton came into office. George W. Bush came into office. They changed the policy. But the thing is, is that the Russians are like, but you said it. And what we would say is, yeah, what you just said, the administration at the time said it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
That didn't make it the treaty binding obligation of the United States where two thirds of the United States Senate ratified we will never expand NATO. So, no, it's not fair to say that America guaranteed. That's not how our system works, nor should it. Right. The word of the president is not a king who sets foreign policy for all time. Exactly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And so the Budapest memorandum, yes, it was a policy document, but it provides no obligation from the United States to lift one finger for Ukraine. And if we think about, again, where the Russians are coming in, they're like, OK, so in the post-Cold War era, you guys bombed Kosovo. Is that in NATO? Why was that a NATO operation? You guys, NATO, literally took out Gaddafi.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You know, one of the things that the North Koreans always tell us, because we're like, hey, give up your nukes. They're like, I'm not giving up my nukes. Gaddafi gave up his nukes. You've shoved a rod up his ass and blew the shit out of his own country. What a dumb idea to give up your nukes. Don't give up your nukes. Kim Jong-un will never give up his nukes.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I was like, there's only 50,000 of you. It's not big.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You're absolutely right. And Libya proves that. Iraq proves that. The North Korean regime surviving to this day proves that. And Russia, its ability to invade Ukraine and, frankly, get away with most of it is what? Nuclear weapons. I don't love that reality, but it's just true.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So then you're just going to fall apart without us. Don't fall apart. Say, we will, say, give us nukes. Okay. Yeah. You can say that. We'll just say, no. No. Next question, right? Give us nukes. You know what I would say? Develop it yourself then. If you're so great, you have all these great scientists, all this, go ahead. Nothing stops You can do whatever you want.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Usually we do stop them. But if well, I mean, if they're trying to. I'll tell him this. If you guys want to go for it, go for it. I mean, you literally will. First of all, you're being invaded. Second, I mean, your country, their own analysts tell us that they'll fall apart in three months after the cutoff of USAID.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
This is, again, just where we have a small nation that thinks it's a great power and can dictate terms. Why do they think that? That's what I don't understand. I think it's the Europeans. I really do.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I can't fathom. How do you not read a spreadsheet? That's what I do. I'm like, bro, look at the number of bullets coming in. I'm just a moron. I'm not even talking about the spreadsheet.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Well, here's the thing. Does he have an interest? Yeah. In tradition, like, you know, Russia controlled vast swaths of all that territory, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia. All of these parts were a traditional part of the Soviet or Russian Empire. But here's the thing. Three of those countries I just named are in NATO. So the interest you have to not do it is to avoid nuclear war.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Also, Russia is a Christian nation.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, he talks a lot about the Orthodox Church and about how Ukraine is attacking the Russian Orthodox, which is true. It actually has been happening. That's my boy. They're attacking the Russian Orthodox and how it's like a defense of Russian, whatever. I don't like that stuff.

Does he tuck his tail? He refused to. He had a Fox interview immediately afterwards. He had hours to think about it. He did it live. It was four hours in between to apologize. He didn't apologize. He just said no. He's like, we had to have honest dialogue. He's huffing the Europeans. He believes that Europeans... can't protect him. He's in London, literally, as I said, as we speak.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And the near future is they're going to propose some peacekeeping plan. America's going to say, no, why should we pay for that? Why should we continue to do it? And it'll be look, it's up to Trump, too. I mean, if I were Trump to continue weapons flowing into Ukraine when they're actively working against your policy is ridiculous. Like, oh, I think that Zelensky needs to find out

You are a vassal state. Yes, you are a vassal state if we think about the old... This is the issue with the way that we talk about this stuff is that Americans, and unfortunately a lot of people, don't want to speak in reality. Is America... The rules breaks international order. Is that for the benefit of everybody else or is it the benefit of the United States consumer? Let's all be honest.

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And it comes down to I feel bad for the I feel bad for the people who really believe that and are now watching how geopolitics works in real time. Like the idea that the United States, who invaded Iraq for literally no reason, is going around dictating, you know, legal and illegal. That's one of my favorite things, by the way, is Russia illegally invaded Ukraine.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I was like, what's a legal invasion? I was like, there's just an invasion. There's just an invasion. There's like, there's just a successful invasion or an unsuccessful invasion. But to return to your point, that goes to the religion. That's what I was talking about. The Atlantic religion, this idea that all borders are sovereign, that they do not change from post-World War II.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Countries don't just invade each other. And I don't think they're wrong. The real politic answer for that would be invasion. All that is bad for business. But the point that comes down to it is what compelling interest does the United States have in continuing this war?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
not only for our economy, you know, the United States consumer probably paid an extra buck 50 for gas for two straight years because of Russian sanctions. It was a disaster for our economy. I actually think it's a huge reason Biden lost the election.

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
but that's countries do that there's no such thing as an interest in the world that's just keep doing this well that's what stops russia well nato actually is that we have nato membership around all these other countries and they're not going to invade because we're going to nuke them but i think every other i think country in the world is like we first of all we have no obligation to do it but second what is the impact on america some deals i think buy some russian oil yeah
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It's kind of stupid.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Well, actually, I disagree with that theory. It's called democratic peace theory is the idea that democracies don't go to war with each other. But there's also beyond that is like countries that trade and become more westernized. It's like, well, China has got a lot of McDonald's and they've actually become more authoritarian. Like the more we're not going to war with. No, I agree.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But my point is that it's it doesn't lead to democratic outcomes per se. care if they have to. I'm done. I'm done with everybody else in democracy. Democracy's hard.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
What did I say? That I'm going viral. Oh, that you are going viral. Yes. You and Charlemagne's back and forth on Doge has been good. I've seen it everywhere. That also could be my algorithm. We're the top political analysts in the world. No offense. No, no, no. None taken. But when people want to know what's happening in America. You're the top MMA journalist. You're the top political commentator.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We wanted
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yes, but that's a very good example. That was when ideology trumped national interests. Ukraine, Vietnam, Iraq all have three things in common. They are wars not of national interest. They are wars of ideology. That's where the American people see through it clearly. We're good. We're nice. We want to protect and stop bad things from happening.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
That's exactly right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
When you look at liberals and their main concern right now, they're like, America did not vote with the rest of the United Nations. I'm like, so who gives a fuck? For what? Oh, so the U.N. had a resolution condemning the invasion of Russia. I'm over all that. And they're like, oh, America did not vote. And I was like, okay, so Montenegro voted for it?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I'm like, why should I give a fuck what Montenegro thinks? Guys, guys, guys.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But what is that? You say un-American, where it's like, well, for example, what is un-American about Russia invading a territory which has been disputed by their own population? Because we say so. We say no, so don't do it. Really? I mean, we don't have a treaty saying that we care about Ukraine. If we did, I'd say, look, let's go for it. We have to honor our word.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It depends. right? It depends on our relationship with Russia and how what we want out of it. I want us to reduce our nuclear weapons pointed at each other and actually focus on where the real economic growth of the world is happening in Asia. So this is a very Obama like idea. They pivot to Asia. Is that Europe is a declining continent? Empirically true.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
If you look at their economic growth versus ours, 50 percent of global GDP will be in Asia by 2030. Now, not that long ago, only five years.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
If you look at the concern that American foreign policy elite has for Germany, for France, for frankly, these countries where, you know, they're basically have chosen their social welfare state fine, but they have not backed up their defense or ability to protect themselves.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You're the top comedian. You're the top everything. It's just too much. Now it feels like I've been bragging.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We pay for French health care, you know, whether people like it or not, like we protect them so they can have their nice socialist beliefs or Germany or any of these economies. You said if they had to pay for their own military, they wouldn't be able to have this. Impossible. Look, Look at the way it's done. I mean, look at their militaries and their inability.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
They say this is such a compelling interest. I'm like, well, fucking fight for it then. Go ahead. You won't do it. And you think the average Frenchman will give up his health care to protect Ukraine? No. That's another reason why it's all complete bullshit. But my point is just rebalance for what's important for us.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Right.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
They can do it in a in like a very dire situation. But I'm saying in a situation like Ukraine, it's like they're not going to one billion euro to Ukraine. It's like piss off. bro. You have nothing. What military do you have? It's a joke.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I actually think it's kind of chauvinistic to say that we have the ability to conduct all of the affairs of the world. Like, really, what's happened? That might have been true in 1991.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
in what's called the unipolar moment when the united states was the sole superpower that's just not the case like we have a total return to multi-polarity where you have the rise of china of india of you know even russia continues to punch above its weight uh japan south korea north korea all of these countries this this idea that i think is actually un-american is that we should be conducting all of the affairs of the world instead what we should return to is a huge is to
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
lose some of our hubris and actually say, OK, what's actually important to us? What are we going to do? This is the line right here. And this is traditional American foreign policy. Going back to the Monroe Doctrine, the Monroe Doctrine was you guys do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't come over here to the Western Hemisphere. This is ours. Right over here.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And we acknowledge the great powers of Europe. And from that point forward, even in the Cold War, we're like, look, it sucks that Hungary is communist, but what the fuck are we going to do about it? Hold on, hold on.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And that's what I care the most about. But that's I think the problem is that right now we piss all this money and influence away. For example, the United States, the blue.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
First of all, you're nailing it. I'll give you a perfect one on this. Our ambassador under Biden to Japan was Rahm Emanuel. Rahm Emanuel inserts himself into a gay marriage debate in Japan because Japan was having a debate about gay marriage. The Japanese conservative party is furious. I go, oh, the U.S. ambassador to Japan has one fucking job. How many Toyotas are we making? That's it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Exactly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Right. It's just my point. It's like Japan, third largest economy in the world. They're all gay. Our concern is. Which Japan is one thing. How do you find a gay guy? Toyota, Panasonic, any of these other guys. That's it. That's all we should be fucking caring about. Are they coming over here and saying, oh, you guys do this? No, they don't give a shit.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
My point is just let them do whatever the fuck they want to do. All right. So like I've lived in Qatar or whatever. It's like, yeah, it's a literal monarchy, an actual religious monarchy. It works for them. It's like, OK, I wouldn't want to live there. I didn't like it there, to be honest. But do whatever you want. I don't care. That's all I really think.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
That's how I feel about Japan, about any of these other countries is it's all just about us coming together. And this is the world order. This was the point of the construction. When do you have to leave, by the way? Probably like 2.30. Okay, we got some time. We have other topics.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I watched the whole thing.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Okay, so that's a list.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Sure. I mean, I, well, let me disclose my bias. I've been very, I've been very against more aid to Ukraine for a settled, you know, a settlement of the conflict now for quite some time. So my bias, like totally upfront. And so seeing that all happen was very, like very pleasing to me, but I'll try and be just like neutral. So it was a 53 minute interaction.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It was during something called a pool spray, which is so I used to cover the White House. The way that these things usually work is you have the king chairs where Trump was in that chair and you have Zelensky here. It's like the head of state chair. We usually the cameras. So like if you and I were sitting, the people who are watching, there'd just be a wall of cameras right here.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think it is about wars of credibility, of institutions, and of process. So something I think is- What does that mean?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And speak to me emotionally.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
For them, it's about Elon's complete and total judgment over this. They don't trust Elon. I would say that's it. And is that fair? Yeah, I do think it's fair. I do think it's fair. Let's make that argument. What's the steel man against?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The steel man against Doge is that you have a person who is unelected by the United States, who is a sole power over what gets cut, which violates the Constitution because the Constitution, the power of the purse is within Congress. Congress gets to decide what programs get cut or not.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He is, according to them, illegally shutting off and doing these things and also at times has conflicts, major conflicts of interest. any of the decisions that he has made.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The perfect example is right now. State Department was, my friend Ryan Grimm, he works with us at Breaking Points, broke a story about there was originally going to be some State Department contract awarded to Tesla for, I forget the number, it was like maybe $4 million or something.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
After Trump got elected, that contract went up to $400 million for Teslas, armed up Cybertrucks, and then they actually took the word Tesla off the website and changed it to electric vehicle. Now, Okay. It's not great, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And it's supposed to just be diplomatic fineries. It's supposed to just be like, yes, Mr. President, we welcome you to our country, blah, blah, blah. For about 40 minutes, it mostly was totally chill. Even Trump was like, you guys have been very brave. If you watch a lot of this, he was very much trying to keep things under control. But there was this moment.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, like the Charlemagne thing. I heard your argument about this. What was that? Well, I thought it was interesting where you were like, hey, if you're a cop and you come to me and I'm like, yo, don't look in the basement. You're like, there's some shit in the basement.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah. So that's what we feel like when we see this. Yes, yes, you're right. And I think it is important to talk about it in that way. And that's where it comes back to process. So like you said, we've got Doge, which is kind of unilaterally deciding what and what is not gets to be spent according to them.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And so one of the interesting things I took away from your thing with Charlemagne, and if I were Charlemagne, what I would have said is, Andrew, it's fine to look, but they're not looking, they're actually acting. And the acting is the part where I think a lot of the liberals are, I think, correctly upset. I mean, let's be honest, like if George Soros or whatever was deciding what is what and not
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
is getting spent.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah. They're like, we need January 6th again. You know what I mean? Like, it would be watched.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Congress to make the cuts. If you want to do this, like, and this Remember when I said process? That is actually a huge part of it because the real problem that they have is the unilateral decision making, the conflict of interest possibly being over. I mean, there have been a ton of shit like that, like the NLRB and other things. I sound like Crystal right now.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
She's got a list like 15 pages long of all this conflict of interest. And you know what I have to say? I go, yeah, you're right. I was like, you know, empirically, this is not good. Like when you look at it in that way. And now if he had sold all of his Tesla stock, if he had actually offloaded all of this and he was still doing it now, I would have a lot more trust in that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And what happened is that is that Zelensky hates J.D. Vance for a variety of reasons. Well, Back when J.D. was a Senate candidate, so 2022, he had a viral moment where he was like, I don't care about Ukraine at all. He said that on camera, became a huge controversy, obviously became a villain inside Ukraine.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And I think most people would do. And I think, I don't think that members of Congress and others should be allowed, anybody in the government should be allowed to be able to even have the appearance of corruption because of the way that corruption is now so in bedrock into,
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think that's the part where maybe you guys can help me understand it because I don't – first of all, it drives me fucking crazy when Elon's in the cabinet room wearing a fucking T-shirt and hat and everybody else is in a suit. It's so corny. And he's standing in a room where – if you guys have ever been in the cabinet room, the president's chair is bigger than everybody else's chair.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
No person ever is supposed to be higher than the president. There's a rule. There's a famous scene in the West Wing. It's like when the president stands, nobody sits. And in my opinion, when the president sits, nobody should stand. Why is Elon standing? Why is he? It just to me, it's like this is where the libs are correct, dude. Like there's some weird shit going on here. I don't really get it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I don't like it. I can tell you. It's my fault.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You have it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You see this all the time. When he's in the barbershop or whatever, he's a genius because what he does is he'll take your problem and he'll turn it around into the campaign. And he's like, that's what the greats always do this, is that they take the question. Listen to what people are struggling with.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He's a genius. But then... What they do is they take you seriously, but not literally. So my favorite moment in a debate is when some lady in the 92 campaign asked Bill Clinton about the national debt. And it's like she didn't really know what she was talking about. And he's like, she's talking about the economy. He's like, we've had four years of trickle down economics. It hasn't worked.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You know, all this. He didn't ask her the same question about the national debt. But the point is, is that he's like, she's talking about the economy. Like he can see the truth, the truth behind it. Exactly. And that's what Trump, I think, is very good at. That's what all the greats are very good at. And yeah, I mean, continue like the Elon thing to me. I and this will make me very unpopular.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But he's also been kind of a chief opponent of more military aid to Ukraine or what I would call is like the Atlantic religion, like this idea that the United States and Europe are inextricably linked, that the invasion of Ukraine is not only an attack on democracy, it's an attack on America. So that's kind of the Eurocentric Atlantic mindset. Got it. Got it. Pretty reasonable.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think it's becoming a problem. I think that this liberal – no, because right now there's a narrative online, which is, in my opinion, cope, is that a lot of these liberals – What does cope mean? Like cope as in like they're coping that – they're coping – Living in denial. They're getting an excuse. Yeah, they're living in denial.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
There's a cope right now from the right that all of these liberal gatherings are astroturfed. And you know what? You're right. But the thing is that you actually – There's a lot of terms that some people might not know. Okay. So an astroturf is essentially a fake – Yeah. Fake grass. Right. So like what it means is that a large is people are being paid to protest. I do not think that's true.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I think this has happened in the past. This has happened in the past and is an integral thing. But that's actually what a lot of liberals said about the Tea Party back in 2010. They're like the Koch brothers are paying for it. I'm like, yeah, bro, but you can't just pay people to show up and be angry. And you still got blown the fuck out in the 2010 election. Elections.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
What I'm worried about is the perception, perhaps correctly, that Trump is not completely in control of his own presidency. And we do see some of that, like in terms of the priority. The priority right now is not only with Doge, it's like the media capture around. around this Elon as the force, where I think it should be on Trump.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And Trump has, in my opinion, a 10 times better political understanding of America. Like, I think if his narrative of the election was about immigration and it was about the economy, what I worry about right now for Trump is he's absorbing all of this pressure where Elon is, you know, slap shot, cutting this, bringing people back. By his own admission, I'm not making this up.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Like, he's like, we fired people who were doing Ebola. We brought them back. Right now, they just fired a bunch of people from NOAA, the National Oceanic Administration, which those are guys who fly into the hurricane and be like, it's a category four or whatever. And it's like, dude, I've seen politics in the past. Like the most dangerous thing a politician can do is misinterpret their mandate.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So the most recent example we have is 2004. George W. Bush, the last Republican to win the popular vote. Republican. He wins that popular vote for one reason. Keep us safe. Iraq, 9-11. You know what he does? Let's privatize Social Security. He's like, yeah, the American people voted for me. I want to privatize Social Security. Blown the fuck out in the 2006 midterm election.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Not only that, Katrina. And what I'm worried about for Trump is, dude, even if it's not your fault, if there's a natural disaster and the Dems can point to Noah getting, you're about to get fucking crucified, dude. Yeah. Same with, you know how lucky they are that crash happened in the first week of the Trump administration?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Can you imagine if that happened a year from now after some doge cuts or whatever with the FAA? They would be destroyed. So they will be responsible. I am very worried for them that they're hitching their entire political reputation and the most critical part of your presidency, the first hundred days.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
If all history of a presidency is almost certainly the first 18 months, and of those 18 months, always the first 100 days. We're about 37 days or whatever when you're talking right now. It's not that much longer to go. And in that first 100 days, Elon has been the number one story.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
If I were Donald Trump or whatever, I would want my number one story to be historic or whatever executive action on inflation. I'd be having inflation press conferences every single day and Tom Homan and mass deportation. That's all I'm doing. I'm just talking about Mexico. I'm talking about shutting down the border. I'm having Tom Homan on television every single day.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Not to say he isn't, but he's drawing away. He's taking control of the narrative. Elon has taken control of the narrative.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So I thought that for a time. Tell me why you think that.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
very true i actually thought that for a while i was like maybe elon is the whipping boy to like sit there and absorb but i'm very worried that trump and lose this is why you were asking about steve bannon there's a reason dude i think bannon is the smartest person in the mega movement and wow he's a person oh absolutely i mean talk that shit absolutely 100 he was mega before real quick before i get off this if if i felt like these were trump's ideas to cut these things
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And that's why I don't agree. Can I double click on that quickly? Because there's a very important... I like that. I love that. Indians, we talk tech. We're talking tech. You said that earlier. I did say that earlier.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Well, I meant like expand. You might be too young.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
This is why I was talking about Bannon. There are multiple theories which intersect. What am I thinking? Venn diagram. The Venn diagram is that Elon is part of libertarian right. Cut the government to the end of cut the government.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Now, Bannon would say attack the administrative state to replace the administrative state, as in the government itself should be the power, the determination of the path of the country, of business, of breaking up the centers of gravity that are non-governmental powers, Facebook, Google, etc., Elon is somebody who's very against something like that, much more like an anarcho-capitalist.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And on top of that is traditional conservatism, which agrees a little bit with this, but is also obsessed with the religious right, constitution, etc. So right now, my fear is that MAGA— While it definitely agrees with the administrative state here is that they are losing the capacity to make their argument that no, actually.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And this is what Trump and J.D., I think, believe is that the government itself should have power over the direction of the country, should have the ability to tell social media companies don't censor as opposed to having a billionaire buy it. Like, that's a nice workaround. But look, I mean, Zuck went on Rogan and said, oh, we're not going to fact check anymore. I did a post about Lyme disease.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It got fact checked the next fucking day.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Right. Yeah. And, you know, there's no enforcing mechanism within that. Only the government can fix that problem for me or for all Americans. So that's where I would say it's like there's important theories of government, which are very at odds.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
I would say it's quite reasonable, but, you know, that's that they would say otherwise. And that's fine. It's a democracy. But anyway, so put that all together. J.D., I think, was making a statement about bringing peace. And it was at that moment that Zelensky really you could see him lean forward the way I am right now. And he's like, let me ask you a question, J.D.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It don't matter how many fucking, which is not even going to happen, which is of course, but neither is anything that Bannon says. Oh, well, I don't think that's true. I mean, like what? Like, what does he say that's not going to happen? What's going to be executed? Well, what about mass deportation, dude? Like, what about, like, Trump literally ran on that. He could do it if he wanted to.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, of course. No, no, no.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
She outran Biden in her district. I interviewed or on our show, not me, but our team, we interviewed a ton of AOC Trump voters and they were like, yeah, I trust them both to fight for the working class. I thought it was actually fascinating. So

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And that's when I was like, oh, shit, because, well, first of all, J.D. was calling him Mr. President. He's calling him J.D. He's got a lot of hatred there.

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Absolutely. It's pretentious. What I was going to get to is when I say rich white people, I mean a very specific class where one of the number one determiners of how you vote and party ID is for your college degree. So if you attend a four year college degree institution, which also correlates very much with income, then you are much more likely to be a Democrat.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And that's why, you know, even rich white is not exactly the right term because we all know blue collar trucker millionaires down in Florida. They're They're fucking Republican as shit, right? But these guys did not go to college necessarily, and they have very different cultural attitudes. I think I talked about this the last time I was here.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Charles Murray, one of my favorite books of all time, is called Coming Apart. And it's exactly about how Americans with college degrees have concentrated themselves in something called super zip codes. You know, the Whole Foods Index. It's like if you have a Whole Foods, you're much more likely to vote for a Democrat. If you have whatever, generic or Aldi, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
You're much more likely to vote Republican. What's happened is that America is culturally separated probably more than ever before. Are we all watching White Lotus? I am. I love White Lotus. That's actually a signifier of like you're out of touch, right? The most popular show in the country is ACIS, all right? Or Landman. Landman. Oh, my God.

Okay, I love parts of Landman, but dude, what a fucking disaster. We could talk about that. But there's a perfect example. It's like some people... It's elitist. Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't think women act that way. Maybe that's just me. I genuinely... Why?

Yeah, right. Most popular show in the country. So what the fuck do I know? But like my point is exactly about the cultural separation is why it's hard for Democrats. And I think even for AOC, AOC and them may speak in the language of the identity politics and also hold class politics. And what I really have come to believe is that we live in a cultural moment. So there is a... So previously...

2020, what I'm fascinated by that election, the highest turnout in modern history. Equivalent turnout not seen since like decades. And if we read about other high turnout elections in American history, it was in something called the Age of Acrimony. That's a book I really recommend. What does that word mean? Acrimony. Acrimony is, acrimonious would mean like tension, fighting.

Age of Acrimony is the 1890s, and unfortunately, that was also when? The Gilded Age. Now, why was America all up in arms at that time? Bro, it wasn't really about class. That's when all the rich people really took advantage. It was basically like, should black people have civil rights or not? That was like the number one animating issue of the South.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
There's an entire thing called Southern Populism, which is basically just like whipping up poor white people against blacks so that you can prop up a new plantation class Massive, rich people from the post-Civil War. And even in the Northeast, like where we are here, that's how the robber barons and all of them came to power. And they funded a lot of this culture warfare and benefited from it.

That's the problem is that I think that AOC and a lot of these other people are so, you know, these statements in the past, this is what fucked Kamala.

Oh, man. Zelensky calls Vance too radical, suggests that he needs to study World War Two. Yeah. So that was September. That was right before the election. And they start bickering basically over the terms of the 2014 ceasefire. And it was then that this all starts to get very, very contentious.

Well, there's no ceasefire yet. So it's called the minerals deal. So over the last, let's say, couple of weeks or so, the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson, went to Kiev basically to negotiate this long-term minerals deal. The terms of the deal are, it's kind of complicated, but like basically it would give the United States rights to Ukrainian rare earth minerals and U.S.

You want to give up your wife and your children's future to be in a Secret Service bubble. Do you know how narcissistic you have to be to actually pursue this? You have to be kind of fucking crazy. I won't do another podcast a week.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
companies would effectively have a monopoly over that. In exchange, there would be a interest from the United States in a free and a sovereign Ukraine that would not be attacked. Now, Zelensky wants something called an explicit security guarantee. So if you attack us, we start we start bombing you. Exactly. So he wants his full blown NATO membership. That's not going to happen.

And that's normal. That's what normal people do. I wouldn't do it. But having spent some time around these people, like the burning need for attention. You need a black hole inside your chest. Yeah. That can never be filled. And when you read all these guys, Clinton, you're like, oh, he had four stepfathers. They used to beat the shit out of his mom. And what did he need?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He needed affirmation from women, from people. So he's always running. Freshman year, he runs for president. JFK, same thing. He's like, watch all this insanity at home and all this. He needs women the way that his father needed women. He needed the love of the people as the second son to the first son. His dad wanted him to be president, right? His dad wanted the older brother to be president.

also a coalitional sport you have to say something and then meet with somebody who totally disagrees with you and then go on a stage and be like we're the best friends ever right like that requires kind of some self-hatred and like some weird shit to do like and absorb all of that and i think john is almost too honest and like too good of a guy and that's why that's why he has our trust he has i love john trust that we need but you're right he might not have that deep black hole yes

I think he wins. The Democratic nom, yes. Yeah, that's different. Actually, even then, I'm still not quite sure. You need a fighter. Look at the liberal energy right now.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
because it would mean Article 5 get triggered. That would obviously bring the United States into a nuclear war. He's willing to settle, of course, settle for an explicit U.S. guarantee over what I think Ukraine controls now, although he's never even said that. That would be a concession for him. So this was supposed to be a meeting of fineries where we're like, yep, we're here.

It was like the moment where everyone realized, oh, wow, this guy. Exactly. I mean, look, I like John. I think he could do well. Stephen, to me, reads what the liberal base wants. Another. Oh, by the way, when I said the Democratic base, I didn't get to finish. It's also old black people like elderly black people are the absolute like most loyal people to the Democratic Party.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Remember, they showed up for Jim Clyburn and Joe Biden. They saved Joe Biden's ass in South Carolina. They They're the people who gave Obama the presidency after he won in the Iowa caucuses, basically put him on the path to victory. So I think Stephen embodies their like want to fight. And like the fight is the same thing for Trump.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Like Trump animated the Republican base and all of these working class whites were like he's standing up for us against these corrupt Ivy League fucks who I fucking hate. Yeah.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We're here to work together. We're here to work towards peace. Zelensky just loses it over a couple of things. One was Trump being like, this guy can't even say anything about peace with Putin. Which, you know, I mean, let's give Zelensky the benefit of the doubt and all this. His country's been invaded. He's been at war. His people are being killed. So that's probably a lot to swallow.

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yeah, that is. Wow. I think Steven has that. And that's why when I look at – and Kamala, of course, never had. No. She had the narcissism and all of that to pursue it, but she didn't have – She wasn't a star. She just was – she couldn't convey that. She couldn't combine that, I guess, for greatness.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
She'll never make it and rip in. Who else? Is there anybody else, any other outsider that's interesting? I would have made a case for Dean Phillips, the guy who ran against Biden in the primary, only because he has the same thing Obama had in 2002. So in 2002, Obama, fucking nobody, literally gives a speech outside the state Senate against the Iraq war.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Dean is the only establishment Democrat who can credibly say, I called out Biden's age before it was obvious to the world. Because he ran against Biden in the New Hampshire primary. He's made some weird moves since then. The other thing is, Dean is filthy rich, so that helps, right? You can self-fund a campaign. You can get your name ID out there.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But again, he's the same Obama thing of, I told the truth when it was uncomfortable. He didn't even run for Congress again. He lost his political future and got blown out in the primary on a single message of, we cannot win with Biden. And he was empirically correct. So I think Dean, I mean, I don't know if the Democrats will reward him in the same way. But Buttigieg, I mean, he wants it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
But the thing is, is that from a pure diplomatic point of view, there's a template for all of this. The King of Jordan was here two weeks ago.

Zelensky just can't take it, and he breaks down. So you can even see his posture. He starts going at J.D. both over a ceasefire, and he starts questioning basic facts. So the fact that really set Zelensky off is when J.D. said, you are pressing your own male population into forced conscription and Because you don't have enough manpower on the front lines. That is an objective fact.

The average age of the Ukrainian military is somewhere between 40 and 50 years old, which is insane. That's like late stage Nazi Germany fighting in World War II. That's the Civil War, the Confederate military, the Confederate armed forces at the siege of Petersburg. Who's left? Yeah, exactly. That's actually a key point.

Remember, the Ukrainians refused to drop their draft age from I think it's 25 or 27. I'm not exactly sure. There's a whole generation of 18 to 25 year olds or 27 that are not currently eligible for the Ukrainian draft. And it's because it's massively unpopular in Ukraine. So out of both sides of their mouth, they're like, we're total war. We're throwing everything we got this.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Yep. Tate brothers coming back to the West. Yes. Shout out the West.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
On the other side, they're like, well, we're also preserving our prime age male population to repopulate the Ukrainian state in the future. So they're not really throwing everything that they do have here. And in fact, previously, one of the U.S. demands was, hey, you guys got to drop your fucking draft age down to 18.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The reason they don't want to do that is, A, the guys don't want to fight because they've watched probably a million or so people die.

He's got the same problem. Can you explain that to everybody who doesn't know? Oh, sorry. He dined at the French, which is like one of the three-star Michelin restaurants.

Here's what happened is a bunch of conservative influencers or whatever were at the White House. They were given binders that said the Epstein files on them. They come out of the White House. They're photographed, and tweets start going around of them holding up binders that say the Epstein files. People are like, hey, hold on a second. Why are you giving this to some conservative journalist?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
He's like, these Ukrainians have been throwing money around. They don't want to fight. I mean, a huge portion of their population is gone. So there's all of that came to head when J.D. was like, you're forcibly conscripting people. Empirically true. There are videos of people, dude, sadly, even people who are mentally retarded, who have been pressed into service. Probably the strongest.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
This is supposed to be just posted online for everybody, right? So then they were defending it. The other thing is it starts to leak out that everything in there is already publicly available information. The only new thing that came out of the Epstein files was a claim by the attorney general that the FBI is currently covering things up. But, like, that's just a claim. That's not a file, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So there's redacted info. They actually redacted some stuff which is publicly available already, which is less fucking hilarious. So, like, in some ways, there's actually less information. Wow. In this – and they also – the House Judiciary Committee, GOP, posted a link being like, here's the Epstein files. And it was a literal rickroll, like a link to rickrolling.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And it was like, dude, we're talking about children who were sex trafficked, like a dangerous pedophile. Like you're turning this into a meme. And the whole point is it's not a meme. It's actually like a sick – If you're a professional comedian, you can joke about it. If you're the House Judiciary Committee, you're like, this is actually serious. This is real shit. So what does all this shit mean?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
First of all, I'm starting to doubt whether the Epstein file is real, whether it even exists. At this point, why would the FBI... I mean, they burned all the JFK stuff. They burned a lot of the UFO stuff where they've covered it up. Is it even in physical format? Can it be released? But also, do we also... I think we need a lot of... Oh, we already know a lot of what we need to know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
That the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, was, like, sleeping in this house multiple times. That Bill Clinton's flying on this guy's jet. That Bill Gates is asking this dude for marriage advice or whatever. Why did Epstein have the connection to get Bill Gates a Nobel Prize? I'm like, I think we know.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The only thing that needs to be declassified is some of the intelligence connection, which they admitted was part of the reason that they pushed through the 2007 plea deal with Epstein. And so... Anyway, my Epstein files is get Alex Acosta, who was the DOJ, the U.S. attorney, and then the Secretary of Labor, who resigned over this. Let's sit him down. We give him immunity.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And we're like, what actually happened? Who called you from the CIA? Because he gave a quote back at that time where he said, intelligence called me and told me. Mossad or CIA? Nobody knows. It could be CIA, RBI, Mossad. Nobody knows. What is the quote?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Oh, shit. With Epstein. That's what he said that on the record. So we give Alex Acosta immunity. We go, look, you have total immunity. Just tell us what happened. And Ghislaine, we need to get. Ghislaine, same thing. We're like, look, you're already locked up for life, whatever. And all of that, you have immunity at this point from prosecution. Tell us everything.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Yes, he wants to know. The list, of course. But I'm saying the list, we already know. Leon Black, the head of Apollo Group, who had to resign. The most powerful private equity firm in the world. Fucking Dershowitz. Like, who else? Ehud Barak, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Ghislaine Maxwell. Every person who was ever at the... Reid Hoffman. All of these folks. It's like, it's out there.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

It's public record. And they all give us this... Or Les Wexner. Actually, that's another one. He needs to get immunity, too. We'll be like, how old is he? Fucking 90 years old or something?

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We need to get him. But that's my thing is I don't even know if cash could – people say this. I'm sure you're a UFO guy too. People are always like, oh, does the government have the truth about UFOs? I'm like, yes, but not in the way that you think, man. There's no smoking gun.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It's just like it's all within layers. The radar blip here. Bro, if you're into JFK stuff too, like you know this already. You're like, look, we already have it. What is it? What happened? We already know that the CIA was complicit in an assassination plot against John F. Kennedy. That's all on the record. All of the official evidence, it doesn't matter.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We know about the Bay of Pigs, about the elements within the CIA were upset about getting caught up. Jack Ruby. Jack Ruby. All of it. This is like, it's been proven. It's been decades, right? Where we can lay out all of the holes in the official narrative. Magic bullet, right? It's all bullshit. But is there a file in the CIA that's like, we killed John F. Kennedy?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Is you will find a file talking about these Cuban elements or whatever who had access to stockpiles. And maybe just like 9-11 where the FBI had knowledge or the CIA had knowledge of these people being in the country but didn't do anything about it. That it was more like, yeah, we were aware. We didn't think they were going to do anything serious or whatever.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And then we're like, oh, my God, we're going to cover this shit up immediately. Like that's kind of how it all went down. So the information is there. Like on Charlie Manson, read the chaos book. It's there. It's there. Like, we know. What's the Charlie Manson thing? Oh, dude, that'll take me hours to explain. But the Charles Manson chaos, highly recommend the book.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Tom O'Neill spent 20 years on it. Charlie Manson was a CIA asset. He was part of mind control experiments by the same guy who wiped Jack Ruby's mind. Charlie Swift. Jolly Swift. Yeah, that's right. He was the LSD CIA advisor on all of those like brothel plans. Jolly West. Jolly West.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Jolly West. Jolly West was the person feeding LSD to Charlie. The Manson family and all that was part in an FBI plot to instigate like a race war. That's one of the things that they wrote on the on Roman Polanski's wall was trying to instigate this. And it was all part. of this crazy shit that was going on inside of the FBI at that time. We know this.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
We know all of this, even from the church committee onward. But it's like people think that there's smoking guns. It's just like that's not how it works. Like with MLK, with Manson, with JFK, UFO, et cetera. Like it's all covered up. And the real smoking gun stuff, those people are dead.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
And I think the crazy part about the Manson stuff is that even on their deathbeds, they still won't tell the truth. Who is that? Who is that? The cops involved, the FBI. Why do you think? I don't know, man. I don't know. I genuinely don't know. I think either the information, it's not that it would be too shocking.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
It's just that don't let it ever be confirmed because only weirdos like me ever read the book and come on a show here and tell you about it, right? It's like most people just move on with their lives. Like, yeah, whatever. Manson, is he still alive? You know, what's going on there? Watch the Tarantino movie, you know? It's like, that's it.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
The guy who's only on the job for one week on 9-11? Oh, weird. He's like, why would he have any incentive to cover that up, right?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
That's exactly what happened. It's pure ineptitude. That's what 9-11 was. It was complete clusterfuck. Dude, we've had the information since 05, Lawrence Wright, The Looming Tower. Everybody should read that book. That book lays out exactly how the FBI and the CIA had everything they needed to stop 9-11 and it didn't happen because of a bureaucratic clusterfuck.

Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

And the culture restricts it. To back up your point, there's only one Western country in the world with an above replacement birth rate. Israel. Even among secular Jews. Yeah. Really? Yeah, I don't know why. Nobody knows why. I think it's because they're at war and it's about national survival and, like, all of this. America, we're low. Korea, Japan, Sweden, Finland.

They all have... We all have, except America, like, pretty generous social welfare. We've got a year of paternity leave. Doesn't make a fucking dent. When does the birth rate in America start declining? In Hungary, probably... It's been a while. Probably 1960. I think it was the sexual revolution, contraceptive. But in terms of the current birth, what are we at right now?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Now we're coming back. But what's Korea at? Korea's like 0.9 or 0.8. It's so bad. South Korea, 0.78. Disaster. That's for people who don't know, that's the total, it's the TFR is the total fertility rate, which means the replacement needs to be about 2.2 to grow as a civilization. Japan loses 0.5% of its population every single year. So it's a disaster. And no immigration.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

Too soon to say, obviously. There is a problem. There's something called thermostatic public opinion where the idea is it's like a thermostat. You can push it up or push it down. So the day, for example, that Trump took office, Democrats flipped from saying the economy was good to bad and Republicans flicked from the economy is bad to good. Because Biden's economy was a billion. Exactly.
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
So it's like, is it really about the economy or was it about something else? Right. It's like, this is why it's hard to say. We have some data points. We were talking about the S&P or whatever before. The problem right now is consumer sentiment is going down. People are a little worried about tariffs. We have issues. Can you explain what consumer sentiment really means?
Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Trump vs Zelensky, Epstein List Letdown, Stephen A. Smith for President?
Consumer sentiment is the confidence in the ability to purchase things. Consumer sentiment is to purchase things either cheaply or the want to consume in the future. It's actually an index that people measure.

America is a consumer-based economy. We don't build anything. 70% of the GDP is literally just consumption. That's all we do here. We're very good at it. There's that. Home prices sky high in January. That was a big reason we had a correction in the market. Mortgage rates remain around 6%, 7% disaster.

average home price is still like 400 000 in america roughly a million in the metro area that's really bad credit card data is an all-time high the gambling thing doesn't fucking help like there's a lot of indicators there where this is why i think trump won the election a big reason and if people here's the thing about the economy americans can deal with the economy being bad they understand that there's no magic fix but they need to feel as if you're doing everything about it and

You're not doing anything. Okay, one thing to that. That's the danger that Trump has, is with this Doge stuff, is if we don't get to vigor, dealing with things on a daily basis. America gives you about a nine-month runway. If we look at Biden, he sank in October with Afghanistan. It was really about a lot of other stuff. Trump's got about eight more months to go.

LeBron fucked up the dunk contest because the years that we wanted him in it, he's like, nah, it's too risky for my body. So then all superstars stopped doing the dunk contest.
