0:00 [Music] and welcome back to careful boys where we are all kind of on cloud n kind of in a weird head space right now we're buzzing dude reason why we're eating food is because Tulsi gabridge showed up early what politicians shows up early Tulsa gabber does the answer that question and she's Hawaii from Hawaii there everyone's on Hawaii time her security guy comes in and he's like oh you guys are eating and we're like no we're not we instantly packed everything we went like this shoved it into the back of the room and they were so ████ polite cuz but messaged the head and asked the assistant if we have time to eat and she goes toy would not want you to like not eat so don't and we're like n dude like her time is like she's doing serious ████ she's like doing

0:51 actual work way more serious than us yeah she canceled on Jesse Waters from Fox News for just kiding news what the ████ to catch you guys up to catch you guys up all right now so to catch you guys up um Tosi gabard is probably one of the highest profile guests we've had and um I met her at the a Tim Kennedy workout and so with a lot of like high profile super busy people their schedules can change at any second and there's other people that we're going to come on but either part of a leg of a tour changed or some other things happen or and we shoot on very specific days Thursdays and Fridays usually but so it's like it's hard to line up all the schedules and because of that I am a little bit superstitious where I was like okay I'm just going to keep this to myself and Joe um that we have a really cool guest coming and I don't want to

1:41 reveal to anybody who it is cuz I feel like when you let things out into the air sometimes it doesn't happen and we get too excited and things happen yeah so when you guys have been kept a secret the whole time what who did you think was cuz you guys know a guest was coming but you guys didn't know who it was who did you guys think I still think it's M up that you you try to make me think it's weird L yeah it's hilarious so good did you guys were you guys literally like were you guys disappointed that it was tossey Gabbert and then not Weird Al Yankovic no no cuz I saw the disappointment in your guys's face I I saw it in his face cuz he doesn't know who tosy gab was that's true until you mentioned that she's the one who knocked off ████ knocked out KLA Harris basically okay the only reason why I was funny to me is because the the day before AKA yesterday you guys were like hey just make sure you guys like you know dress nice dress up so I was like

2:33 ████ I knew that was a prank though okay wow you're so ████ clever and then I was wrong yeah exactly so my story by the way just chill out but chill out for me I'm like oh ████ I have to dress up okay so I take my outfit all right and I put it out the night before you know I'm like I should think about this cuz I don't want to be thinking about in the morning I want to like know what's going on prepared Y and then in the in the morning B trolled us and said Weird Al yanish only has 2 hours and then he said oops oops he said oop oops seemed more real really good play I got what if all of us came in like aloha shirts that would have been sick well that's why I was like did I just put out an outfit for Weird Al yank

3:26 yes you did but now I know you're down which is still like respect you know why not I mean he deserves the respect but I'm just saying like it just felt funny and weird to do that so who did you think it was though before I said weirdo did you have any like assumptions like damn why why is there so much like formal preparation my very first assumption uh because you guys made us change schedules Steve didn't come we're changing from our normal Friday Saturday to come over here on like a Tuesday or a Wednesday Thursday I was like dude it's a big deal right but then as much as it kept on going just knowing the nature of everything that goes on here I was like honestly it could be just ████ Tao or something stup dude legit just knowing how I've been here for many years I've never had Bart be like hey dude um is it cool if you come

4:16 mid Monon because like we got kind of a big guest but I don't want to tell you who and I know you would love to be here that's why thank you I think you wouldn't ever let it go I would have destroyed you guys if you didn't get I would destroyed you guys I wonder why I left JK all over the all over no question no but uh yeah I was never I was like did he make you do any guesses like the way that we had to no no no so well we eventually had to tell them right they told me 3 days ago they told me like as I'm getting on a ████ plane basically wow yeah all right what was your reaction when Bart told you I was ████ stoked I did the dick I did the Dick Van D ████ that ████ clicked your heels together cuz I was trying to plan also the hosting right so I was prepping I've been talking with her assistant and you thought an would suck well that's why I reached out to both of them he benched them I was like which one of you guys

5:06 those questions suck the most I was like which one of you guys read cuz it it is about her book right the stupidest and then um Anthony says I don't read Ryan say okay time out I don't know how to read I don't know how to read Ryan said I barely like to don't know how to read Ryan say I barely like to read too so I was like son of a ████ and I was like um let me try to get them to send me the book or at least some talking points um but it didn't come in time and then so it was a last minute decision this week that I was like well if we don't have time to prepare I think the most informed on politics would be Steve so that's why I asked I asked you are laughing they I didn't even know who you're talking about here's what you texted me are you sure you literally said you go uh so for our highly valued guests they're on a book tour too I

5:57 figured it would be good to have one of our hosts get familiar with the book and I said I feel like Anthony loves books and then you said let me ask and immediately texted back Anthony hates books he did yeah all he did was text me let me read my ████ and then I told you I'm a slow ass reader I don't think I have time to read it but how about Steve book lover green he goes he goes hey Anthony do you like to read physical books I say I'm very a on it once in a while but I'm not very good at it audio book be hidden sometimes though and she has an audio book well it's not out yet well at that time there was only physical books so I you like read physical book yeah okay for the sake of just no PVP the entire time though honestly on camera for the record one time only never again props Bart

6:47 bringing her on you got the guest that's a big deal shout out to Steve for crushing the host just accept your thanks and we'll do that in a second thank you no I mean if Bart didn't work out with her and if he didn't even know Tim Kennedy like there wouldn't have been this opportunity crazy so crazy your flowers Crush it's moments like these that I'm like oh my God I do have faith in JK I told Nikki I was like bar think got a special guest probably Kev Jumba he's a special guest I know but like I'm not you know it's like hey Steve don't come cuz like you it'll be fun it'll be more fun if you come mid Monon for X guest and I was like you know whatever we got ████ ████ coming also shout outs to Tim though Tim

7:38 you got to say keny he's so ████ cool Tim cuz he puts everyone on the same playing field yeah that's really cool of him after um the workout he likes to do like a quick little like Moto the Marine call Moto speech just kind of like a little uplifting little debrief wrap it all up so he does these workouts when he comes into uh Vegas to do the SHOT show which he doesn't even have to do cuz it's his his schedule's already crazy but he comes and he does these uh Pro veteran to help them with like suicide mental illness workouts to bring everyone together and he does them like 5 days in a row at like 5 or 600 a.m. and his his days are are slammed but he he'll still squeeze that in cuz it doesn't even though it doesn't benefit him one bit at the end of the speech I mean at the at the end of the workout he goes everyone that's here right now I'm sure

8:29 all of you guys know like one person that's hurting that one person that you could check in with if you brought him here to sweat could potentially change their mindset and whatever Darkness they're in could immediately bring them into the light and then so he had like this really cool speech of like oh man you yeah you should check in with their homie and maybe just do more things with the homies or whatever at the end of it he calls out every person that he knows he goes like tulsy BL whatever uh Brian C whatever Bart Marine blah blah blah blah and so he puts everyone that he knows into like the same playing field so immediately there's like this mutual respect thing and I think that probably could have been like cuz tuls probably I don't know who the ████ that b guy is but because Tim cos signs probably the game then it's like oh ████ that's tight it's a good thing Tim wasn't like uh spiky hair uh dumbell Asian hate Asian

9:22 hate Dell gang owner big dog big dog big dog white dog big dog me shout outs to Tim for like connecting people and and providing that floor for people to be able to network and do cool things with each other yeah shout outs to him man super cool man and now you can talk about Steve Steve did an amazing job ice cold truly the ice B Round of Applause ice his one time on camera only you did a great job of balancing funny but great true Pro also a lot of people out there don't know us uh 100% for who we are I think all of us are the don't touch that button we'll smash that button type people even even like the the safest of us in here are like that so I think like

10:13 for us to completely behave and also um yeah just listen listen and create a safe environment but still be able to come in and give that JK flavor and have fun like shout outs to everyone here shout outs to me I almost told tulsy gabber that Hannah with motorable my butt wow you really held that back huh I bet if you said it she would have been cool with it though yeah all right back to Steve so there was a moment where everybody's buttholes was tight as ████ I didn't know where gas would pass yeah but this guy still was able and this is the first moment that I knew like we were still in JK news is in the middle in the middle of the first video right basically he still talks about it and it wasn't the Assad apology he called her a Russian spy Russian spy Russian asset

11:03 asset yeah a Russian asset and I'm sitting there like oh ████ you nailed it though that's also when I was like God damn Steve's a superhero dude Steve is another levelo that's also the cold pledge it's like if she could read the sarcasm and the fun in that then it's like we're good for the rest of I can already that she ate it up it up I can already tell then she knows that he's informed and that also he thinks it's ridiculous yeah yeah yeah N I don't think it's ridiculous I think there's a meritan argument but I learned more about her today and now I think more that she's a Russian Russian asset today than a man candidate even she's now the greatest Russian asset by the way she didn't denounce Putin one time she was here I'm just saying mention that I don't know that's weird to me but that was just very uh a very nerve-wracking

11:54 experience I've never I've never sat next to a potential presidential candidate before can you tell us why you took the thing down behind you for the day oh yeah so dude these guys I saw you I saw you going oh ████ that's when I knew ████ was real yeah okay these ████ guys were like I see Ryan and Anthony cuz they're sitting together other side and we're about to start filming and she's sitting down already so she's ready right next to me he asked me if he thinks we he's like should we take it down it's a good call the second he asked me is when she came out the bathroom and I was like oh ████ yeah yeah I should have done it earlier that's that's on me where did you put it so I just put under the thing face up face up and I was kicking it to Tulsi and I was like look down look down it's it's him it's him but no like you were like I just see Ryan Anthony like and I'm like what are

12:46 you talking about I look over and I was like oh this that I was like he really was going yeah yeah yeah I was like what I was already I was already nervous dude the ████ I was like just in case cuz I don't want have to explain that Joe she was over there for 911 dude like I uh I did not want that to be the ████ like hey how come you're in this ████ and this is why you guys are my worst PR nightmare here we go but we didn't wait we we start that this is Jason chenny it's not you oh that's his bit Jason Jason's face you know what I mean she probably would have looked at him and was like who's that guy it's a great bit though no big deal who's that treasonous but I do got a double down though I really I I was so scared to ask her the question I asked her that was great that was great though tell wait you you could tell me they seen no at least it came

13:36 from you man I ████ almost died dude she was giving a response about the victims and I was like God damn it Anthony why the ████ did you have to ask this goddamn question cuz I am almost going to burst out laughing as she's talking about victims half of you guys kind of did did ████ Steve he you you made me almost crack because when she said her response was I think everyone's free to believe what they want you looked at Anthony like great yeah I did give you that that was for the fans that was for the I did that for the ████ fans dude I did that for the fans I had to freaking and then you said something too you were like he kind of doesn't believe it you did that for us thank you so much I did do that thank you so much I was sitting bricks trying to find the right words too was probably like the sickest answer I've ever heard for anything like that best the best so

14:27 that's what I so what are our impressions of t that she didn't she didn't denounce Putin but it's fine well we we watched her as a fan we saw her on on on on the primaries like you know you and me would text about we were like wow who is this person and then we would follow her and then I was like dude you know the thing is I'm super skeptical at the highest level of politics because like people just Pander and she's like just regurgitating talking points maybe of what she thinks the new generation would like to hear here mhm and I was like the thing is off camera on camera she's a consistent person she's even ████ cooler in real life so I was just shocked as like okay the person that's like saying this stuff on camera she's even realer in real life

15:18 and cooler yeah cuz dude like even even the staff that like her bodyguard everybody like I think it really tells you the type of company she keeps and who she is and if she understands like you know she I think she could hold herself at a professional level but I think in real life like when she's not wearing the suit and all that she has friends like us I think so too like that's what that's what I realized I was like she's one of us and she grew up with probably you know she grew up in Hawaii like she grew up with people that you know like she's around our age so I was like okay I see you have this level of professionalism for the public public but I was like dude this is the real deal like she's not pretending and I was like very genuine very genu yeah and I

16:09 and I think I liked her even more afterwards I was like wow like and it also is re-energizing to feel like oh there's someone that works in politics that actually gives a ████ and can't be bought There's Hope in politics There's Hope and she she kept saying that and I I she you know I do sometimes get I'm fairly optimistic person but I do sometimes get so mired down in like the political landscape now it's hard to get find a dub the dubs and she just kept on saying like I am looking forward to what's next and I was like damn dude I need to be more like that it's a good example of like where to set your your crosshairs a little bit especially knowing the foundation that she also said that she hasn't been receiving campaign dollars from the Democratic National commune or like that too and she did everything herself it's like okay so they don't have that leverage on her so things that she does say she

17:01 believes and those are her things that she's choosing to and they rolled out the red carpet for her she she told us about how it works on the inside and she's like yeah when I got in paraphrasing here she paraphrased too so I can paraphrase she she um they they're like yeah you're in Vogue yeah you're awesome we want you to be the vice chair of the committee all this ████ and then she's basically just like cool but I'm still going to be me and they're like oh ████ who the ████ you think like that ████ was eye opening that to to hear that from the inside like she gets the calls you're in Vogue you're you're the it gal all this ████ and then then as soon as she tries to do something that she believes in everything dries up boom boom boom boom boom but it's so refreshing to see someone stick to their beliefs especially because I think in politics everyone's got an ulterior motive and um you know at least for me

17:55 she didn't give me any reason to believe that she was working for Sinister forces or selfish reasons cuz the stuff that she was saying and the points that she was making it was like yes these are the talking points and things that matter to Citizens these are the things I want to know and thank you for talking about it and she's she's actually trying to get people to not divert to stupid like arguments she's like let's focus on the topic these are the issu and I'm like okay well what like how can she benefit from actually talking about fixing corrup like issues corruption like inefficiencies bureaucracy education reform all that stuff it's like how does she benefit if she was corrupt to do that and that's what I kept trying to figure out and I'm like I don't see

18:46 where it can kind of be self- serving other than like maybe I got to really now look into the things that she's trying to Champion and who it might benefit but like everything she said to me was like ████ this is who I've been waiting for Anthony is somebody who like dances for money do you when you when you got to meet like someone that you never even saw really before and didn't know yet and you like didn't you you saw her face but you're like things about no you saw her fa you saw her face and you couldn't place it do you do you think about like do you think that she's she won you over or nor not are you going to vote for her if she runs for president vote for her it's hard not to be swayed by the fact that the second you even have the concept of personal connection with somebody versus just seeing them on a TV

19:36 and not knowing you know what I mean like she one of the last things she said off camera which she was like talking about like something that Joe Rogan said it's like you know talk to somebody for 20 minutes maybe they'll be able to like continue putting up this facade or their talking points of whatever needs to be said but like when you do long form content you sit down like a podcast for like over an hour you really learn who they are cuz they can't like just say the speeches anymore they have to like go deeper into what they actually they got to know their ████ especially our stupid question rapid fire round like you can't prepare for that like Steve showing her a Tik Tok video about like an issue you know what I mean it's like we got we got the privilege of sitting down here for 2 hours talking and it's like no shade to any other candidate or government official but I just don't get that privilege you know what I mean to sit down with somebody so of course it's

20:27 like wow you you have a very strong impact on me and then I think one of the first thing kind of like a hook that like was in the beginning was just even the title of her book especially the part where she kept on referencing why I left the Democratic party yeah and it's like even Ryan asked and pressed on afterwards too like didn't a bunch of conservatives after that you know and go like hey come come to our side would be trying to buy her side she did say yeah they try to poach me cuz I was like I was like same thing it's like all right you left the Democratic side so she chose independent which we all know is like impossible as hell to win the election in this world and I'm sure they people were trying to offer her mad incentives to not do that like she still gave her totally logical and reasonable answer and it's like we just don't see that in everything that we have lowkey like had an opinion or complained about in every conversation that we've had here so like yeah of course I'm ████

21:18 swaye because like we got a chance to have a real interaction with somebody and that makes her a real person yeah you know so my favorite thing is how like like we've always said for long time and you've I think said it the most about how like no matter what side whether it's Democratic or or uh Republican it's like they both want to go to war all the ████ time and it's like she that's like one of the first things she said and it's like I know it's so refreshing to hear a a a a Washington Insider basically confirm what we've been saying for the last 10 ████ years take offense that you call that by the way so I just say quote unquote but yeah I know what you mean not Washington Insider as a ████ you know off camera I as deal off I said she didn't denounce Putin off camera I asked her if she identifies as a politician and she said no cuz she thought was

22:09 offensive so I never called her one yeah but she for the rest of the world she is she was in politics she worked in politics you know like she was she was a higher up in that whole system and so coming from a person that was in the game like firsthand accounts saw ████ for me I'm like that was so refreshing to hear like it from her saying um you know the military industrial complex is real and I think it even means much more from a veteran or I think she she's not a veteran right she's in the military right now that's why she's going dark for she's leaving yeah so she's she's yeah so she's active duty military she's she's still fighting for this country and doing service for the country and she's still talking about like the military industrial complex and I'm like dude that's bold

22:59 yeah yeah so hypothetically if you were to ask me right now if she was a presidential candidate specifically with Biden and Trump in the mix yeah I'd vote for her of course really yeah wow I would too wow that's an easy answer you rather vote doy yeah if it was like if it was a thing yeah I'll do next one I'm going to vote Biden this one okay okay just kidding just
