Trump Voter Comedian Blasts President On Epstein Files, Slamming GOP And Dem 'Cults'
'Maybe there's hope, maybe there's an opportunity that things can change,' he said of why New Yorkers voted for democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
'I think that's probably what a lot of us thought with the Epstein files with Trump,' Schulz told guest Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Tuesday's episode of his podcast, 'Flagrant.'
Schulz, who voted for Trump and previously interviewed him on his podcast, blasted the president last week for 'doing the exact opposite' of campaign promises that included ending wars, stopping spending and releasing the Epstein files.
The White House responded to Schulz's criticism in a statement to Fox News last week, stating that the comedian 'knows life is far better in President Trump's America than it would have been under a weak and incompetent President [Kamala] Harris.'
Schulz replied by railing against the White House in an Instagram post, asking, 'are you going to cover up a global pedophile blackmail ring or not?'
'We know Kamala would have covered it up. Joe and her had the Epstein file during his term. They choose to cover it up,' Schulz wrote. 'We thought you guys would expose it because…. you said you would expose it.'

On Tuesday, the podcaster made it clear in a profanity-filled rant on his podcast that he has no allegiance to Democrats or Republicans.
'I'm in neither one of your fucking cults, OK? If you want me to be in your cults, you can go fuck off,' Schulz said. 'I'm not in the Dem cult. I'm not in the Republican cult. I'm a free American, I'll make my own fucking decisions and I'll say whatever the fuck I want about whatever president is in power.'
The podcaster later noted that despite his disappointment with Trump, he doesn't 'regret' voting for him. He argued Trump has pulled the Democratic Party to the center and that Democrats are 'starting to take up the issues' that Trump 'was the one campaigning on,' including the release of the Epstein files.
Schulz praised Khanna for pushing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the files.
'Now you see so much of the Democratic Party that's echoing a lot of the sentiments that are usually on the right,' Schulz said, calling the Epstein file controversy 'a right-wing thing that now the right wing is trying to sweep under the rug.'
Khanna said he didn't see the Epstein files as a 'partisan issue,' but rather 'an issue of trust.'
'It's a pretty simple thing, and to me, it's whose side are you on?' the Democrat said. 'Are you going to be on the side of the rich and powerful basically getting their own justice, or are you going to be on the side of people who were participating in this being exposed?'
Schulz makes his comments starting at the 3:30 mark in the video below. Hear Khanna's remarks at the 1:05:30 mark.

Why many voters in deep-red Northern California are fuming about Newsom's maps
When the talk turned to politics at the OK Corral bar in this historic stagecoach town on Tuesday night, retired nurse Ovie Hays, 77, spoke for most of the room when she summed up her view of Gov. Gavin Newsom's redistricting plan. 'I don't want Democrats around,' she said. 'They have gone too far in controlling us. We won't have a say in anything.' Nearby, a man in hard-won cowboy boots agreed with Hays — using much more colorful language. He works as a ranch hand and said he'd just come from fixing a goat pen. 'The morons in charge, and the morons that put [those] morons in charge need to understand where their food comes from,' he said. He declined to see his name printed, like a lot of folks in this part of Shasta County and neighboring counties. In its current form, California's 1st Congressional District, which sweeps south from the Oregon border almost to Sacramento, is larger than Massachusetts or Maryland or eight other states. This is farm and forest country. From the glittering peaks and dense forests of Mt. Shasta and the Sierra Nevada, rivers course down to the valley floor, to vast fields of rice, endless orchards of peaches and golden, rolling grassland full of more cows than people. Voters here are concerned with policies that affect their water supply and forests, given that the timber industry limps along here and fires have ravaged the area in recent years. This is also Republican country. For the last 12 years, this district has been represented by Congressman Doug LaMalfa, a rice farmer from Oroville who is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump. But if voters approve the redistricting plan in November, the deep-red bastion that is LaMalfa's district will be cleaved into three pieces, each of them diluted with enough Democratic votes that they could all turn blue. The northern half of the district would be joined to a coastal district that would stretch all the way down to the Golden Gate Bridge, while the southern half would be jigsawed into two districts that would draw in voters from the Bay Area and wine country. Northern California finds itself in this situation because of power plays unleashed by President Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Newsom and others. To ensure GOP control of the House of Representatives, Trump pressured Abbott to redraw Texas' congressional maps so Republicans could take more seats. Newsom responded by threatening to redraw California's maps to favor Democrats, while saying he'd holster this pistol if Texas did the same. The California Legislature is expected to approve a plan Thursday that would put new maps on the November ballot, along with a a constitutional amendment that would override the state's voter-approved, independent redistricting commission. If voters approve the new maps, they would go into effect only if another state performs mid-decade redistricting. Under the proposal, Democrats could pick up five seats currently held by Republicans, while also bolstering some vulnerable Democratic incumbents in purple districts. Now, voters in Northern California and other parts of the state find themselves at the center of a showdown. And from Marysville to Redding this week, many — including those who call themselves Democrats — said they were outraged at what they saw as another example of urban California imposing its will on rural California, areas that city people generally ignore and don't understand. 'Their needs and their wants are completely different than what we need here,' said Pamela Davis, 40, who was loading bags of chicken feed into the back of her SUV in Yuba City. Her children scrambled into their car seats, chatting happily about the cows and ducks they have at home on their farm. Davis, who said she voted for LaMalfa, said voters in California's cities have no understanding of water regulations or other policies vitally important to agriculture, even though what happens in farming areas is crucial to the state overall. 'We're out here growing food for everybody,' she said. 'Water is an issue all the time. That kind of stuff needs to be at the top of everybody's mind.' For years, folks in the so-called north state have chafed at life under the rule of California's liberal politicians. This region is whiter, more rural, more conservative and poorer than the rest of the state. They have long bemoaned that their property rights, grazing rights and water rights are under siege. They complain that the state's high taxes and cost of living are crushing people's dreams. The grievances run so deep that in recent years many residents have embraced a decades-old idea of seceding from California and forming a 'State of Jefferson.' Some residents, including LaMalfa, said if redistricting were to go through, it could further fuel those sentiments. And even some voters who said they abhorred Trump and LaMalfa and planned to vote in favor of the redistricting plan said they worried about the precedent of diluting the rural vote. Gail Mandaville, 76, was sitting with her book group in Chico and said she was in favor of the plan. 'I just am really, really afraid of the way the country is going,' the retired teacher said. 'I admire Newsom for standing up and doing something.' Across the table, Kim Heuckel, 58, said she agreed but also wondered whether a member of Congress from a more urban area could properly represent the needs of her district. 'I'm sorry, but they don't know the farmlands,' she said. 'We need our farmers.' We do, chimed in Rebecca Willi, 74, a retired hospice worker, but 'all the things we stand for are going down the drain,' and if the redistricting in Texas goes forward, 'we have to offset it because there is too much at stake.' In an interview, LaMalfa predicted that California's voters would reject the redistricting plan. "We're not going anywhere without a fight," he said. But should it pass, he predicted that his constituents would suffer. "We don't have Sausalito values in this district," he said, adding that politicians in the newly redrawn districts would be "playing to Bay Area voters; they won't be playing towards us at all." One of the biggest issues in his district recently, he noted, has been concern over wolves, who have been roaming ranch lands, killing cattle and enraging ranchers and other property owners. With redistricting, he said, "if it doesn't go to the dogs, it will go to the wolves." Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A.

Treasury Secretary Signals Bold Intel Move as Washington Tightens Grip on Chip Race
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares shot up 10% Tuesday after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed the Trump Administration is seriously considering taking a 10% stake in the company. The idea is to funnel CHIPS Act funds into Intel to help it stand up a stronger U.S. foundry, which Bessent called essential for national security. He stressed this isn't about Washington meddling in Intel's operations but about stabilizing the business so it can compete. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Bessent said the U.S. can't afford to keep relying on Taiwan, which makes 99% of the world's most advanced chips. Covid was a beta test for what being cut off to key industry supplies looks like, he told CNBC, warning that if America doesn't onshore chips, rare earths, and other critical sectors by 2029, we have failed. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed the talks, adding the U.S. would become Intel's biggest shareholder if the deal happens. He also weighed in on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD). Under a new deal, both firms must hand over 15% of revenue from previously banned chips sold to China. That includes Nvidia's H20 and AMD's MI308. Bessent said those chips aren't a security risk, but Nvidia's upcoming B30A will need a license before being exported. For investors, Washington is getting more involved in the chip race, and that means both opportunity and new rules for U.S. tech giants.

'Fascist scum': Vance and Hegseth booed by DC residents at Union Station
Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth received a frosty reception in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station on Wednesday, shortly after the Trump administration launched a federal takeover of the capital. Vance and Hegseth, joined by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, were at the transit hub to meet with members of the National Guard deployed to the nation's capital by President Donald Trump. Trump took control of the city's police force and deployed the guard to combat what he called 'out of control crime' in D.C. The two met guardsmen at the fast-food restaurant Shake Shack in the station, covering the troops' lunch. Upon leaving the chain restaurant, Vance and Hegseth faced a chorus of disapproval from angry citizens at the station, in videos shared to social media. Cries of 'fascist scum' and 'wife beater' followed the pair. A member of the crowd called Vance a 'couch f**ker,' a reference to a fake excerpt purported to be from his memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy.' Vance, Hegseth and Miller can be seen walking past the protesters, accompanied by a security detail. Miller later called the protestors 'elderly…stupid white hippies' when speaking with the press at Union scene is emblematic of tensions in the nation's capital following Trump's takeover. A recent poll by the Washington Post-Schar School found that 65 percent of D.C. residents believe that Trump's actions will not make the city safer. Roughly 80 percent of those surveyed opposed Trump's takeover of the D.C. police, while 77 percent supported funding increases 'to build economic opportunities in poor neighborhoods with higher crime.'
