Well, here we go again with the cancel culture saga. This time, it’s comedian Andrew Schulz, who found himself in hot water right after airing an interview with none other than former President Trump. Schulz, a leftist known for his unapologetically edgy humor, didn’t hold back when he recounted how the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) abruptly pulled the plug on his upcoming shows just hours after his Trump interview dropped.
Let’s be clear here—Schulz was all set to perform. The venue was booked, tickets were about to go on sale, and his whole production team was ready to roll. Then, bam! (pun intended), out comes this email from BAM telling Schulz his show “wasn’t the right fit.”
“It’s not like, ‘we might do it here.’ It’s booked. It’s ready to go. We’re going on sale this week. We have the entire production team come out for this… it’s ready to go,” Schulz explained. “And three and a half hours after the interview, they cancel shows.”
Oh, but don’t worry, they still want to work with Live Nation on other events, just not Schulz’s show. It’s like they’re saying, “We love comedy, just not that kind of comedy.”
“Read the exact email, because they’re canceling my shows but they’re also begging Live Nation to not cancel future shows with them. Like they still want business, just not this guy. Now, I don’t know if it’s [because of] the Trump interview, but the day before it came out, we were ready to go and we were going on sale this week,” Schulz emphasized before putting the alleged email onscreen.

Schulz didn’t mince words, calling out the timing of the cancellation and connecting it to his Trump interview. Sure, BAM denied it, saying it had nothing to do with Trump and that the decision was made before the interview. But really, are we supposed to believe that? The timing is just a little too convenient. Hours after his sit-down with Trump goes live, his shows are canceled, and BAM wants us to think it’s just a coincidence? Right.

And, of course, Schulz added a little salt to the wound, pointing out how eager the venue was to keep future business with other acts. It’s the same old story: as long as you toe the line and don’t dare challenge the liberal narrative, you’re welcome to perform. But sit down with a guy like Trump? Suddenly, you’re a problem. Cancel culture strikes again, folks.
What really takes the cake is Schulz’s analysis of the interview itself. He declared Trump was “winning by a landslide,” and it’s hard not to see why he’d say that. Trump, for all the controversies, knows how to connect with an audience. Schulz’s left-leaning fans might not have expected it, but the former president came across as sharp, energetic, and completely at ease in the wide-ranging conversation.

On the flip side, Schulz and his crew had invited Vice President Kamala Harris to join the podcast, too. Surprise, surprise—her team declined. Maybe they were worried she wouldn’t fare as well in an unscripted environment, where tough questions couldn’t just be dodged with talking points. If her recent interviews indicate anything, Harris hasn’t exactly been a hit with voters, especially when she’s pressed on real issues like immigration or the economy.
But here’s the kicker: while Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, have been making the rounds, racking up interview after interview, the Biden-Harris camp seems to be in hiding. At least, they’ve only sat down for about half as many interviews as Trump’s team. Maybe they’re banking on the media covering for them. Or maybe they just don’t want to answer any tough questions.
Either way, it’s hard not to see Schulz’s interview with Trump as a defining moment, especially for Schulz’s leftist audience. Whether or not BAM wants to admit it, pulling his show after that interview speaks volumes about how scared some people are of any conversation that doesn’t fit the progressive narrative.
