0:00 [Music] all right welcome back to careful boys hey subie how ████ sick was that Trump speech bro which one the March 4th no the one the recent yeah the one that was like two days ago it was pretty interesting man yeah what you think I'm not going to lie I'm just like I I really try to pay attention to it and see what he's doing what the plan is most importantly yeah he did explain it and I think it was kind of crazy how he brought that kid up and uh yeah you want to tell people what happened yeah he brought he brought this dude this little kid with uh tumor uh what is that tumor brain tumor yeah cheers to you man good luck Bubba no it's p um I just thought it was interesting that he gave him you know the title of a special agent secret service agent service and special agent he gave him the title wow gave him the

0:50 title yeah the 13-year-old kid he was wearing like a little cop outfit right but he's wearing one NYPD outfit but my thing is he's he's the world's youngest cop right is he what ises that is he really going out on the street thinking he's a certified agent see that's a problem right so get his job way too seriously also when you think about the job of a secret service agent it's kind of wild yeah cuz their job is to take a bullet for the president United States that's their only goal and this particular president has actually gotten shot before yeah can you imagine a 13-year-old diving but if it was like a what do you call what do you go a secret agent FBI whatever right but then that's completely the wrong uniform first of all this a straight up NY PD Patrol outfit maybe he's undercover as a c got the job you just got the job he's a secret service under to change no Che Cheers Cheers because know like that's a great thing but but

1:41 the backlash on that is insane yeah people are being pretty mean about it online what do they saying so are they making fun of the kid bro the kid the dad everything what are they saying about him you know just like yo the dad messed up why would he do that to his kid he messed up bringing this kid you know stuff like that who know who knows cuz people who obviously don't like Trump they're just going to go all out to the meanest possible I heard that Trump brought him on because there was a video of this kid getting bullied by other kids playground or something it was on the it was on the street actually but in this video I heard he was dressed up as a security guard as well was yeah like that's just what he does for fun so far I've only seen pictures of this kid in security guard security guard out bro if I was 13 and I dressed in a security guard outfit I would get

2:31 well anybody would anybody would if you're 13 you dress like anything except for being a regular kid you're SM especially they're at that age where it's like if you try to to try to enforce rules on kids they're going to hate you yeah they're going to set you on fire dude everyone f with a hall monitor that's what I'm saying yeah that's what it is aitor you can't say hey you can't bully that kid cuz guess what that makes that kid that's like putting a Target on oh my god dude yes oh absolutely that's like the B you put a bouny on this kid when I was being being bullied I'd be like please don't announce to the class not to bully me you know what I mean like that's going to get you killed oh please and the president does it Target for the military oh my god dude the most controversial president does it he's going to get bullied even harder for help like being with Trump the dams are going the worst thing that can happen yeah I just showed you this video of

3:22 he's getting interviewed by a news reporter and this little kid goes like I just have a message for all the Democrats out there if you talk bad about Donald Trump I'm about to be on your bumper I saw yeah you just showed it oh my God see you can't act like that as a as a kid that's already being bu well and if you're getting smoke already from the left now you're asking for smoke from the left brother the left is going to come everywhere he walks they're going to go after you he's going to get smoked cuz now he's so popular yeah well plus all the kids are going to be like you're not a real secret service agent dude he'll be like actually officially I am and that's the worst thing to say back yeah yeah I I it sucks cuz like I love when kids who are being bullied stand up for themselves but you can't stand up for yourself as a bigger dork no exactly you can't I have a piece of paper that says otherwise brother it's like oh I have this video with Donald Trump yeah you can't do that dude not good you're just going to get smoked

4:12 hard honestly Donald Trump wrote his ████ death sentence yeah me it's social suicide yeah he did now they're now he's going to have adults that are picking on him too for real yeah adults are picking on him it's already happening there's cyber bullying this kid already happing like that's all that's left to do when someone like that is like exed you're going to make him bulli yeah damn s poor kid man so other than that it was kind of crazy to see the you know the the Democratic party really not Applause or even stand or any any type of reaction which is kind of crazy quite divisive right now he was like saying there's nothing he could do or say that'll make him happy I could C cancer that's hilarious he like and they wouldn't stand up or whatever but that's classic for every president it's political they always do that yeah it's normal but I do think it's pretty damn

5:03 like polar right now oh for sure cuz like Clinton era or like even Obama era like yeah they it wasn't it was bad if you were paying attention to politics like as a kid like the the Republicans were wild about Clinton they wilded it out about Clinton I think we're just way more tuned in now like Monica Lewinsky scandal really set the Republican Party On Fire dude they they destroyed themselves to like try to impeach him for getting a bj in office which is like one of the sickest things you could ever get and he was already killing it too yeah he was crushing was he impeached for the ████ or more more so for the lie probably the lie huh blow probably the blow power Dynamic yeah what kind of man that's what I was reading about blow at the White House what the remember Kenneth star he he was the special prosecutor at the time he like interviewed Monica Lewinsky Linda trip all these people like in detail

5:54 he's like where did Bill Clinton what' he do with the cigar show me where he put it put on the ████ yeah exactly but he and she saved a cumstain yeah the reason why we know every detail of it excruciating detail is because kenth star special prosecutor the Republicans were digging like crazy they did a good job getting that out oh yeah cuz it really it's cuz it destroyed the party yeah like they made them look like idiots honestly that's why Bush barely even won in 2000 in my opinion I think he lost oh yeah votes in Florida give me a that was rigged for sure I think so that was the Hang Chad was that the H CH oh yeah the h something no they're saying that Al Gore won that election and got jacked completely stole it I thought so damn no I wonder what happened if Gore was present that' be nuts probably we wouldn't have gone in to 911 yeah all right and we would have had to cleanest

6:46 air ever oh yeah ever great beaches beautiful beaches we would still have the poor ice caps which [Laughter] melted he couldn't stop us from global warming dude maybe maybe he wouldn't have been on that tip because during that time yeah him losing was like all right I'm gonna focus on the environment yeah yeah yeah true I'll make a billion dollars doing this environmental ████ I'm going start a war in Iraq government contracts yeah that's fire yeah so did they say that the the I guess it's like an address right presidential address yeah it was like the longest ever in history and it felt like it well how long are they supposed to be normally I don't know like an hour maybe I don't know yeah an hour he went 90 minutes he letting it out onean show I'mma let it out let it out every day it is nice to have up like

7:36 whatever the aside from everything else it is nice to have a president that's coherently saying something yeah for once that's true like for how long people acted like Biden was doing anything on podiums was staggering yeah why does no one on the left actually real like no one admits it you don't want to acknowledge like even if he's a great guy like you don't want to acknowledge that this dude's not saying ████ well now all of a did you see Jake tappers doing a book The CNN guy uh he's doing a book about how Biden is cognitively impaired but he's one of the stes for years who was saying Biden's sharp he's do he's killing it that's not what everyone says who's on who's in the White House blah blah blah have you seen the campaign manager that leaked information about it her name is Lindy Lee she was right but now she works for Trump so now people are like oh of course right but she was the first person on their side to leak it to the

8:26 news about his cognitive Health oh really mhm I thought it was George Clinton remember George cloney he like wrote a he like he he he went to a party right and he's like I I saw Biden he was something he's not right yeah he's not normal and he was there with Obama apparently yeah and then he wrote an article in like I don't know Washington Post or some ████ or times like an oped about how Biden was cognitively all not not there so hellams are blaming George Clooney George Clooney for KLA Harris stepping in and losing because they're like you helped push him out so Geor is like I'm piecing out of politics for a while sorry Deuces I just think they didn't have any viable candidates that can compete I completely agree there was there's no one that's actually good judge sucks yeah but their campaign is all do you want Trump we're better

9:18 anyone's better than Trump and it's like that's not good enough Trump equals Hitler is not doesn't work it's just not valid it doesn't work brother it just didn't work so like you got you got to do something about that well just play out what else did he say in his address he's talking about no tax on tips he talked about the tariffs the tax on tips and just automotive industry saying stuff about that I saw I saw this like explanation of the tariffs that was like nonpartisan like a nonpartisan explanation of the tariffs and it basically was just saying like the objective is to get America's economy healthier Again by being less dependent on foreign material and Manufacturing yeah and that's it it didn't have any other like like uh it just said like yeah he's charging because I guess like 2% or something of of goods are um

10:08 bought from America from the countries that sell like 90 something per like the the the street is like uneven in terms of like how much we buy from other countries how much they buy from us but also the other countries tariffs us even more you know what I'm saying so I didn't know that I really had no idea that Canada was actually giving uh taxing us insanely more than we were taxing them for their stuff yeah I didn't know that well yeah when you look at how much it cost to have an American car in Asia yeah czy have you seen those it's insane it's it's unable yeah and only the richest people can have a Mustang in Singapore or some ████ yeah you don't want that in Singapore dude yeah it's it's crazy I think no tax on tips would be really good because and overtime too I think that's a huge that's so working class that's going to

10:58 help the working class that's a big W and then if I'm a CEO I just say I just take all my salary and tips but where are we at that do are we what's the hack for that though is there a way to take advantage of it what do you mean I think that's what I just said to no tax on tips if I'm a if I'm Bill Gates I'm like well oh they PID me a dollar but I got ████ couple million dollar yeah that's what that's what I'm looking what people did in the past like they just didn't claim their tips but everyone did cash yeah but the legal way you're supposed to do is like you have your hourly weight and then you get your tip and then they they basically tax you on the income well now when depending on which state right so so people are like dude like this is tip but you're still taxing me like 20 30% that's not fair right and I and I

11:48 think like that money goes a long way for a server 100% 100% like what's the pushback on that no tax on tip yeah there's no negative to it so there's no opposite side saying that's a bad idea in any way Harris came out for it immediately remember but now the the Dems didn't even stand up for it I thought that was kind of whack cuz I was like I thought you guys were about that I think the Dems don't want to do anything that's not their idea yeah cuz they can't take credit for it cuz I was me and my mom I like talking to my mom about this stuff cuz she's heavily like liberal and she's like ah Trump is ruining everything with these tariffs mhm that's this talking point I hear people say yeah that's what everyone say but like how is it how like what's the massive negative well so like the stock market's been been very uncertain because of the tariffs right but we've been in a recession well not quite cuz recession is two cor as negative growth we just had our first negative quarter but does the we get one

12:38 more then it's does the objective of if these if the plan with the tariffs shakes out and America's economy does improve because we're manufacturing our own Goods there's more jobs is that a likely outcome or is that a dream that won't happen I don't know enough about um this topic though cuz like the theory behind it is um there's clearly a deficit with the trade and so we're just trying to make up for it so that and we're also trying to encourage American companies to manufacture inhouse to stimulate our economy you don't pay man right it's like it's kind of killing two birds with one stone which is one we're offsetting the imbalance so that other countries are having to pay another one is we're trying to get American

13:28 companies or companies that operate in America in general to manufacture here so if foreign countries are just like well it is cheaper to maybe manufacture in Mexico and then send it into America maybe they'll be incentivized to go maybe I'll open up a plant in Oklahoma so that's that's the idea behind it but historically has it happened before I don't know that's the thing where I'm like if if they're just saying oh every time we raise tariffs in this way we get economic restructuring and Improvement but if it's never happened is that really what the goal is or it depends cuz we I don't think since the 9s well since before that we have had this huge trade deficit that Joe's talking about yeah Ross perau ran on this particular topic talking about the sucking sound coming from you know overseas because they're taking all this all this Manu

14:20 American manufacturing and they're exporting it overseas and then all those jobs are going over there yeah so cuz it sounds correct like it sounds like when I was watching that partisan explanation I'm like yeah that sounds like common sense but is the fight against it is there are they saying no that won't even happen even with this it's for some other kind of greedy objective well I know one argument um for people that are against it they're saying that all it does is it punishes American companies so and the consumer they say that cuz the price goes to the consumer so we'll have to end up forking out the the hikes and the cost right um so there they there but what I heard is um this he was saying how like it's an American company that has to pay the Tariff to import the stuff so then you're not actually

15:10 getting China or or Vietnam or whoever's trying to import it's not their companies it's an American company trying to get their product in that they have to pay So eventually it's just still Americans having to pay more money I see yeah it's like how so it's like how um I think the the what's that s█████ car the Ford um escort one of those said that they're going to manufacture it in like Indiana because they were going to manufacture I think in Mexico well they make the Bronco in the Bronco sport in Mexico right yeah yeah I think I think a bunch of them yeah cuz there's two types of Broncos right the sport is made in Mexico the other ones made here oh really yeah yeah it's like the big ass Bronco small Bron in but they just announced the the Taurus I think the one of the s████████ oh tus but the common the most Comm so then it looks like it's aimed more at like the largest side of indust like you were saying if you're just a

16:01 guy that makes I don't know ████ hoodies in China then then you probably can't afford to like change your business structure to just no it's I think it's to the goal is to stimulate American manufacturing again because like if you think about how um well for example foreign cars are actually more domestic than domestic cars and what I mean by that is like BMW Toyota they have manufacturing plants in the states most of it is done here cuz they have to right uh if they import a a finished car it actually cost them way ████ more so they're incentivized to manufacture in the States but not American companies so that's why Ford and all them can move out of Detroit and ████ open up plants in Mexico and assemble out there and then bring it over well then wouldn't the argument be then if you if people if you want the American people to buy more American Products then you have to improve the ████ quality of American ████ cuz that's the reason why

16:51 they started buying Chinese stuff first 100% that's why we have a Hyundai dude cuz Ford started sucking over here cuz apparently Kore it's like the worst car right like Ford is American cars in general I've had bad luck with Ford Rams right yeah I think it's universally understood that like American cars are you always go Japanese yeah they are just in just in general that's why it's kind of like the global competition is beating us because they can manufacture better and they have a different philosophy MH whereas like we just got outc competed and not only that also with labor yeah so like when you have American companies there's so many law with unions and things like that to where if you want to innovate and adjust and be quick to compete you can't so a lot of domestic car companies can't compete with European and Japanese cuz

17:42 they have a system of figuring out how to just like improve things quicker and faster and better right that's the part that I I am afraid of is that they I I understand like the idea of like get people to buy more American ████ but then it feels more like it feels less like give you a good reason to do it versus leave with no other choice it feels like there's also a angle to this that's like let's make it so Americans can only they can only buy American ████ regardless of the quality and I think that's ████ well I think that's why a lot of people are so like upset with that too like that's side of it both sides like we do have like okay so we do have Toyota in America right and they do have good quality but they're it's made here so then it we are capable of good manufacturing under good leadership yeah and if if we have enough variety there's enough competition to be like that's a ████ product I'm not going to buy it

18:33 right yeah but if it's like I don't know like let's say if we only had like one or two companies we don't have many options and that's when it becomes like Soviet Russia where the quality of something sucks so the tariffs don't affect let's say like buying a Toyota here no oh that's pretty cool well if they manufacture in America anything that's manufactured in America I I I don't think it would because they already comply with the laws to manufactur here okay so like way like those terrorists the reason why like you know how we used to have hella Japanese electronics and then it swapped over the Korean yeah is because they put so many tariffs on Japan or like rules because the competition was so difficult to come American Electronics and all that couldn't keep up they couldn't keep up and then so Japanese car makers were coming in and they had they put in hella

19:23 laws and then they complied so that's why Toyota uh Honda Nissan all them they can exist in the US because they complied with all those laws so now they're more domestic than actual domestic car companies yeah so if you're buying from Teemu it's going to be more expensive it it it it can be it can be still Dirt Cheap teu has places here now though do they really yeah t has warehouses here they have manufacturing out here uh I don't know I don't know about that probably not I'm sure they'll find a loophole too yeah yeah yeah cuz like certain things are made in America if it's over 60% done here so like let's say you can get the Fabrics or whatever you want and um maybe you assemble it here or like maybe you do a finishing like put a tag on yeah yeah yeah there's

20:13 a lot of these rules of like what's considered made in America or not and not everything is 100% made in America when you see that tag if it was true all the time that like in order for us to recover uh from the instability of relying on foreign in products and Manufacturing that it was going to take a dip economically to get there then I can understand why this is going to happen but if it never delivers then that's pretty ████ yeah we'll have to see I don't know if there's an example of it actually successfully working outside of the car example I have because I think the opposite has been happening where everything has been offshor so we haven't seen things come back and not just America but any country that becomes wealthy they offshore all the labor so the

21:03 UK they don't have any like they're not doing anything like manufacturing and coal mining and things that they used to do Steels all that everything's China everything's southeast Asia so we with globalization we offshored so much labor that I've never seen an example of that coming back to a wealthy country you you know what Trump could do the we get bipartisan support instantly he could cuz you know how he just declared the cartel's yeah terorist terrorist M you declare the call center terrorist organizations dude and start dring those buildings if he was droning those buildings I think everybody in America would stand up and clap dude yeah be so that would be nice that would be nice right that's removing so much elderly money from our country and putting it in other

21:53 nations I hope that gets to Trump y and healthare healthare healthare I really wonder if manufacturing will ever come back like yeah it's a big question mark right yeah like cuz you wonder if it's like all right if this will work like this would be a crazy play if you could pull it off Apple apparently is doing a plant here wow in California not in California but in America somewhere so $5,000 iPhones that's what everyone says right oh it's going to be $5,000 now we'll see we'll see how this shakes out if you think about it though cuz cuz we do the foxcon plants over there and they pay those people dog ████ and like they have to have Nets to keep from committing suicide DN they ain't paying them well another funny thing is like how we always talk about how like it's so American to like do it this way but all of the highest American companies

22:45 rely on so much offshore ████ it's like hilarious D look at Teslas and the the Cobalt mining brother the Cobalt mining alone hilarious to hear them be like no we got to get America back to where it was yeah it's like come on you guys started that like come on that's why I don't like all this minutia detailed conversations I just like wait did you guys hear that Trump Trump trump Trump trump Trump trump America that's my ████ just wave the flag don't even do homework yeah
