Andrew Schulz Thinks You’re As Stupid As He Is

Here is Andrew Schulz today, on his podcast Brilliant Idiots:

Schulz: It's the greatest failure of a president of our lifetime. Ever. And I don't know ever, because I don't know what—

Chris Morrow [producer]: Closest second would be Nixon. Closest, but Nixon's a prince and a king and a genius compared to this guy. 

Schulz: The point being it is the greatest fall from grace miscalculation, the greatest failure, the greatest—there's one thing where you go, "I'm going to do these things," and then you don't do them. That's what most politicians do. "I'm going to do these things," and then you don't deliver on those things. In the same way when you're running for class president, you're like, "I'm going to make sure everybody has free candy for lunch," and then it doesn't happen. What is more rare is literally doing the exact opposite of the things that you campaign on to a level that nobody's seen before and a level of corruption and cronyism that has never been seen in Western democracy.

And here he is on a March 4, 2026 of his podcast Flagrant, discussing the war in Iran:

Schulz: How long is the war going to last? What are the plans for war? What are we going to do? How do we get out of it? 

AlexxMedia: Boots on the ground.

Schulz: Huh?

AlexxMedia: If we put boots on the ground. 

Mark Gagnon: If we put Tims on the ground, what's gonna be—

AlexxMedia: We got to. We got to. We can't win this as a full aerial attack. 

[…]

AlexxMedia: Let me enlighten y'all. So it's a religious thing and they are going to fight to the end of time. And they got all the guns and the people don't have any guns.  So we gotta go boots on the ground to take them out, to really have regime change. Because they're gonna keep fighting until one side is wiped out. 

Schulz: Got it. Yep. Now, why would boots on the ground stop that? 

AlexxMedia: That's the only way we can attack—hand-to-hand combat. 

Schulz: Got it. 

AlexxMedia: Because we can't just keep bombing, especially if they hide amongst the civilians. We're not just going to keep bombing everybody. Then we'll look like Israel and lose all support. 

Schulz: Ahhh. Because we can't take out any of the civilians. Obviously.

[…]

Schulz: But so the Americans aren't really concerned about the Iranian nuke threat. So how else? Why else do we need to go in there? 

Gagnon: Radical Islam. 

Schulz: Radical Islam. 

Gagnon: They're running around. They're trying to shoot—they hate us. 

Schulz: How about this one? 

AlexxMedia: Oh, yes. Iran has the largest population of Shia. That makes a huge difference. 

Schulz: That is true. That is true.

AlexxMedia: Keep going. I'm just trying to drop knowledge on y'all n—as.

Schulz: No, you were. You were dropping knowledge. It's very good. All right. We have to sell the American public on this war. Okay. So what is our sale? What is our pitch? How do we get unanimous American support? 

And here he is on an October 31, 2025 episode of Flagrant, discussing the Trump administration’s illegal strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug trafficking vessels:

Schulz: It is an actually specific thing, because it's like if they're sneaking fentanyl into the country, then I'm like, all right, whatever. But if they're sneaking cocaine, I, for whatever reason, am more empathetic. 

[...]

AlexxMedia: It is fucked up. 

Schulz: No, because they're killing more people than 9/11. That's a 9/11. That's a water 9/11. If it's fentanyl on the boat, it's a water 9/11. Then they're taking people out. 

Singh: I don't mind. 

Schulz: That's what I'm saying. I don't mind. 

Singh: The boats can't make it over. It's like if a guy tries to rob a bank but does a shitty job, does he not get prosecuted? Are they like, "Oh, you know what? The gun didn't have bullets. He forgot to put the bullets in." No, you try to rob a bank, get dealt with. 

Producer: So we're talking about prosecution, not getting blown up. 

Schulz: Yeah, they're not getting prosecuted, but it's international waters. That's the worst thing. It's international waters though. 

[...]

Schulz: Listen, I don't know why, it doesn't hit me the same way if they're bringing fent over. If they're bringing crab or sea bass, if they're just fishermen, then obviously this is all atrocious. That's atrocious. 

[...]

AlexxMedia: If you locked them up—

Schulz: Locking up doesn't deter. It's not enough. You get locked up for 10 years, then you get to go back to Venezuela, your family got a crazy check probably from you importing the drugs. If you battleship them, there's no chance that anybody's signing up for that.

And on October 18, 2025, discussing ICE with Joe Rogan: 

Schulz: It's also a bad look for ICE. ICE itself is a very important institution. You want to make sure that you have a government program that can enforce the borders and also remove people that are here illegally, especially people that are doing criminal activity. This is an institution that we shouldn't malign, this is one that we should be proud of. This is a good thing. But then when every video coming out, it's like seeing these people being torn, their families and all this kind of stuff, it's like, yeah, you're going to have a lot of animosity towards these groups. And I know we're having this conversation right now there's already people getting a video going, "Well, this is what you guys wanted." 

[…]

Rogan: If you can import a bunch of people, also, if you encourage these people to fill out the census because it's politically beneficial to your party, especially if you help those people get in.

Schulz: That's interesting.

Rogan: So if you invited them into this country, actually flew them out to that place, put them up in hotels, that kind of deal, then you can get more congressional seats because you have more human beings.

Schulz: So that's the argument. A lot of people chalk it up to, they're giving these people voting rights, and it's like, no, that's not what's happening. They're actually increasing the amount of representatives you could have in a certain district.

And on a July 1, 2025 episode of Flagrant, discussing birthright citizenship:

Schulz: There's a part of me that's like, I don't know if it's that crazy, because there are people who will just get pregnant and then, month seven, come to America, you can stay here for three months on a tourist visa, and then you have a kid that's born here, and then they have American citizenship. And they're taking advantage of American citizenship, obviously. And they're not only people that are coming from third-world countries. We're talking about people coming from Europe just so they can stack on, you know, American citizenship.

[…]

Schulz: Well, so this is actually a really interesting point. So maybe here's a good option, if you want to gain citizenship through, if you want your kid to be a citizen, but you're illegal, you have to be a slave for a little, because that is the 14th Amendment. If you're going to use the 14th Amendment, which was specifically put in place so that the kids of slaves would get citizenship, you are using that without going through the enslavement. So if you slave it up a little bit, then it should apply to you and your family. But if you're doing it without the whole purpose of it, then it feels like you're taking advantage of a system… I think it depends what we need to get done. Some of these projects, it is going to take a little while.

Akaash Singh: What do we need done? What are the big things we need done?

Schulz: We need housing. We need them to build housing.

Singh: That's the Mexicans. That's the Mexicans. All construction projects.

Schulz: Who are the best builders in the world? Should they come here on an indentured servitude term and their kids that they do have end up becoming citizens?

And on May 17, 2025, discussing ICE raids on Brilliant Idiots:

Morrow: Look, I know immigration is a problem. I'm not for a second saying we don't have to address that. But when you see stuff like that—

Schulz: Yeah, it's heartbreaking. We're emotional people.

Morrow: I'm like, you say—who were the Nazi guards? Who were the fucking slave catchers tracking down slaves?

Schulz: Yeah. I wouldn't compare it to that at all.

Morrow: Man, you're ripping—

Charlamagne: It's gotta start somewhere.

Schulz: I would—

Morrow: You're ripping mothers away from their kids.

Schulz: I think you do a disservice to what Jews experienced during Nazi Germany, and I think you do—

[…]

Schulz: Yes, it is heartbreaking. There's no question it is heartbreaking. You could make the argument—or they would make the argument—that these people are here illegally. They're breaking the law being here, whereas simply being Jewish in Germany in the late 1930s shouldn't have been illegal. These were German citizens that were being snatched up. And the same thing with slaves.

And on an April 19, 2025 episode of Brilliant Idiots, discussing the illegal deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who fled gang violence in El Salvador and was living in Maryland under a court order barring his deportation there—to a Salvadoran concentration camp: 

Schulz: And he's going to claim asylum, and they're going to find out that he is a gang member, and he has been a gang member. It's going to be bullshit, and the Democrats are going to look retarded. I think Alex's point, this is playing right into the Republican handbook. It's like you're playing right into... Literally, the fucking president of El Salvador was like, "Yo, you got it wrong." Once the president of the country says you got it wrong, this is where you back off. And then you lock into certain things that make a lot more sense.

[…]

AlexxMedia: The case was still open. The case of proving whether or not he was a gang member. That's still open, so that's why the Court said deporting him was illegal because he still has due process.

Charlamagne: Oh, okay. That makes sense.

Schulz: But he's here illegally, so you actually don't get due process. You're here illegally. You broke the law by being here. And if he is connected to a gang unit, the gang has been deemed a terrorist unit, and you're not allowed to be here if you're part of a terrorist organization.

[…]

Charlamagne: I would focus on these words from Donald Trump. "Homegrowns are next." Trump hopes to deport and jail US citizens abroad. That to me is more something that everybody should be debating and asking why the hell would he say that as opposed to this—

Schulz: Yo, you break the law, man. Hey, man, sometimes you got to go to San Quentin, sometimes you got to go to El Salvador.

[…]

Schulz: You gotta look into El Salvador. El Salvador was the most murderous and dangerous place in the western hemisphere. It is now the safest place in the western hemisphere because they started locking up these fucking criminals that are terrorizing normal, hard-working people's lives. And if you ask the people over there if they appreciate that effort, they are incredibly grateful because they were held hostage by those criminal organizations.

Charlamagne: Sure, but what's that got to do with sending American citizens over there to go to prison?

Schulz: They seem to know what to do with them. Yo, if you—

AlexxMedia: I hope you're being hyperbolic.

Schulz: I like people who obey the law.

Charlamagne: But we have prisons here.

Schulz: We need more. Lock them up. Lock them up. 

And on a March 21, 2025 episode of Flagrant, again discussing Trump deporting migrants to a Salvadoran concentration camp: 

Schulz: Let's say that person has—and it's tricky. It's like, "Do you give every person that's on American land the rights to every American citizen?" I think there is a rule that if you are here, you get those rights, even if you're here illegally.

AlexxMedia: Like due process? I think everyone should have it.

Schulz: Well, the follow-up question is this. Let's say there's somebody that you apprehend and he has a gang tattoo from one of these El Salvadorian gangs.

[…]

Schulz: But I wonder if now that's what they would do in El Salvador. They're like, "If you have any connection to the gang, we're locking your ass up. We don't give a fuck. No due processing." And maybe if you're here illegally and you have that kind of connectivity with the gang, you see some gang-affiliated tattoos, you're like, "Yo, you don't need to rape. We're not going to wait for you to rape, murder, or sell drugs. You're fucking out of here.” I'm okay with that, but does that break some American law?

And on March 17, 2025, with Fox’s Will Cain, discussing Trump’s plans to annex Greenland:

Schulz: How much fun is the idea of taking land again? You know what I mean?

Cain: Real fun.

Schulz: It is kind of fun.

Cain: Who doesn't want Greenland?

Schulz: Everybody. Everybody. No, we shouldn't take land. You know what I mean? Where's my camera? I think but here's the thing. Do we know what the people ... Do we know what the Greenlanders think? What an upgrade.

Cain: There's 50,000 of them.

Schulz: Yeah.

Cain: Even if they don't want it, that's a big Super PAC ad blitz and we're good. Right?

Schulz: I think that we could convince them. It's hearts and minds.

Cain: I think we could.

Schulz: Hearts and minds. Just show 'em Miami in December. When they're freezing their [bleep] off in a tuque-tuque or whatever in Greenland, just be like, "This is what it looks like in Miami in December." And then you're on board. What do they got over there? They got minerals. Is that the idea?

Cain: That's what they say. They got a lot of land. Most of it covered in ice.

Schulz: Yeah, but we don't want the land. We're not going to do anything over there.

Cain: Like, back to your point, I like more land.

Schulz: Oh, got it. I like conquering, I think.

And, finally, here he is on an April 20, 2025, episode of the podcast Triggernometry, explaining his support for Donald Trump: 

Schulz: When I was younger, Democrats were cool. They were getting their dick sucked in the office. They were supportive of hip-hop music. They said, “Do whatever you want, we don't want to be in your bedroom”—they were cool with gay people. It was cool to be a Democrat. Now, the president got three baby mamas. He's getting pussy left and right. He's cool. He's the one saying, “Say whatever the fuck you want.” So now conservatives have become Democrats. So, I don't think I've changed. I just like the dudes that get pussy and say whatever they want. You want me to be a Democrat again? Get some pussy, tell me to say whatever I want. I’m there. 

Just for the record.
