oh how's the trump thing going over in new york dude you know what's so
interesting is like uh
it was crazy right after the right after the election was over everybody's kind
of went on
about regular life kind of bro it's and like now i'm almost like annoyed by i'm
like i thought we
weren't gonna have to go through this again like i don't know where how it is
like here where you're
where you're living but we're back to like the bipartisan bickering you know
like like this doge
is a big deal right even though there's no american that wants like waste there's
no american that
wants like government bloats there's no american that wants like inefficiency i
don't think any
of us are like voting for those three things yeah so this should be like unilateral
support like we
should all get behind it and maybe the way that they're doing i think trump
even came out and be
like yo we're gonna use a scalpel not a hatchet like i think we're being a
little bit too forceful with
the firings or whatever but this is one of those things where like it's so
annoying and i think you
can you can you can blame elon for this as well like on twitter he's a little
bit antagonistic
about i noticed that recently some of the stuff he says like do you have to say
that like you don't
have to do it right there you're in power now like i think you have to have a
little bit different
energy when you're in power i think when you're not in power you're trying to
get to power maybe that
antagonism is is helpful right it can like embolden the base but you're you're
the leader now
leaders don't need to poke a finger and like twist a knife or whatever like
well i think what he's doing i
i believe that what elon is doing is by creating all that commotion on twitter
it's only helping
his own business right so it creates now that everybody's everyone he wants to
see what he's
going to say but he's saying so many things it's hard to even juggle but so
many people are engaging
and interacting yeah i feel like it's probably the number one news app i don't
know if it's always
been the number one news app has to be um it has to be that's why yeah i mean
don't you learn
just stirring his own business it's like yeah so the more he does that it just
then it's more
impressions the more ads that he can sell right i don't know if that's true but
you're basically
creating a place for people to go consume content in general and if he's the
biggest creator on that
platform then it makes sense that he continues to create so you're saying that
he's not doing this
just to get out information but he's also doing this to like uplift the app it's
like a hype machine
yeah oh wow i don't know if that's true but that's what the feeling you get
from it i'm at least because
otherwise it's kind of in some of the shit's kind of insane it's like what is
this like how is he
doing all of these things and if he's not doing all these things because who
could have time to do
all these things then who is doing it and it's kind of it's kind of annoying
because he's a genius
you want him on your side like i want the guy who makes the rockets on america's
side if we go to
world war three right like i think that's a pretty good idea that we get the
guy who's going to send
a ship to mars on our side if we're going to have like drone warfare throughout
the world like
let's keep him in our good graces i do think and i i'm a little bit more
optimistic about this
administration that's what i've realized with most people like sane people is
it if you don't if you
didn't vote for trump but you're not like a like a complete like lunatic extremist
on both sides
by the way if you're just kind of like a normal regular guy but you feel like
you you lean left
a little bit more you go you just are pessimistic about the administration and
if you lean maybe
right a little bit more but you're not some insane like right wing quack you're
optimistic
about the administration yeah we both kind of want the same thing we want the
best thing for
american people right we might disagree about where we get there but we do want
the most opportunity
wealth um ease of living for american people so when it comes to when it comes
to the
administration i'm like a little bit more optimistic about like i'm like okay
let's just see how this
works right that's how i feel let's just give him give him a people are going
oh he's doing all these
tariffs it's like my man i don't i'm not an economist i know you aren't an
economist yeah i don't know if
this is a negotiation like if you go to buy a car and the car is like 100 grand
and and you go in
you go all right i'm gonna offer 80 grand right knowing that they're gonna
settle around 90 right
the problem is when you do that you do that in privacy with the car dealer
trump got to do it
publicly and now he's got people in his own country going how dare you offer 80
that's so disrespectful
and he can't come out and go dumbass we're gonna settle at 90 i just gotta
start at 80 so could you
give me two weeks yeah they don't give him any nobody gives him a beat to see
what the long-term plan
is like if you want manufacturing jobs back in america then you have to make it
so that
it more makes more sense for people to make cars in america maybe that's just
business like i agree
with you i would i never was against biden i've never been against anybody that's
been office i've
always just wanted the best it's like i want the best i'm never going to depend
on the government
for my life like i don't wake up every day and see what the government's doing
i get out of bed and i try and take care of myself or you know you know take
care of your family like
you're doing it's like that's probably what most people think yeah anybody that
has time to argue
online all day is also insane right like not saying that we don't all put our
beliefs out
there sometimes but i hear what you're saying but it's like but you have to
like that's one thing
somebody said the other night oh trump said it during that that whole like
state of the whatever the
delegacy address yeah it was this it was like the state of the two parties are
dressing with the if
you got to watch the hour and a half of that i don't care what side of it this
was hilarious it was like
somebody who wrote like noises off or something it was just a fascinating joint
congressional
committee's address or whatever um yeah there was like they kept cutting this
white dude that was
asleep they threw al green out people thought he was jimmy snooker they threw
him out dude they
kept people like democrats that only had their feelings on little signs that
said like not good
or gesundheit or whatever i bumped into al green at the breakfast club he was
going on after me and uh
someone's like hey who wants to al green wants to say hello and i was like yeah
sure that'd be cool
this guy just got chucked out of the senate that'd be you know whatever and uh
i went i go i shake
and like his like handle or something like that is like waiting there with like
a camera like tucked
here for the handshake picture and i was like did i just get set up in a photo
op to make me look
sympathetic to what happened like i'm like what exactly is going on that's you
know crazy yeah yeah well
that that's also scary when everybody has cameras everywhere now yeah yeah a
lot of people thought
that was jimmy snooker which makes total sense as well yeah i think it still
think it was what a body
huh let's get it on um was that that was al green let's get it on let's get it
on yeah i think so
but yeah so it's a tricky yeah it's a tricky it's a tricky time now politically
but i just still like
yeah you kind of hope like hopefully there's some long-term strategy here it's
like because if you just
look at the little bits it's kind of scary also if the if and i'm not trying to
just like bag on the
last administration but like if people are uncomfortable and the last
administration was
running on this platform of hey we're gonna keep doing the same thing that we've
been doing that
was a bad plan you can't really blame americans for going well that's not
working for me right now
i gotta try something different yeah and then giving the new thing a little bit
of leeway it's not like
again i might be more optimistic and if it goes bad i will be the first person
to criticize it
right i have no problem criticizing whoever's in power yeah okay this is the
easiest thing in the
world for me but i i am hoping i'm at least going to give a little bit of grace
and hoping that this
is going to work out for all of us and i'm going to give it more than a few
months
i'm going to give it a little bit to see where it goes and if it does go i'm
not going to be the
guy to go told you so you idiot like because that's not the joy that it brings
me the joy that
brings me is like hey we're actually making some cool change right america's
going to be doing
better we got opportunity to you know start here and get up here imagine if you
brought some industries
back where people have pride in their homes and in their towns dude i'll tell
you this we've gone on
this tour i've been on we've gone to probably 200 the top 200 cities so far
size wise right we've gone
fucking everywhere and a lot of the places man it's the same it's like there's
no there's not a lot of
businesses there there's some cities that have kind of changed and had some
turnaround and it's been
uplifting but there's been a lot of places that it hasn't you know and um and
it's sad it's like
oh all this place needs is one good like influx of uh of people and a purpose
you know when people
have jobs they have purpose yeah and so it's like i'm just gonna i'm for surely
gonna stay hopeful
i hope that if if there's some tariff stuff and then we start making our own
cars here
dude there's a guy who just made a show i uh a t um a t-shirt i think it's
called american giant can
you look that up there's a guy he wanted to make find a t-shirt that was made
in america american
giant clothing he couldn't even get a t-shirt that was completely made here he
couldn't get a he
couldn't get a a whatever this is called a template or a blank yeah in america
he couldn't they didn't
have it right they didn't we don't make a t-shirt in this company right country
yeah so uh don't they
make teslas here yeah like teslas are an american made car so like bare minimum
and like i'm not
trying to knock any of the american you know other american cars right like but
i don't think ford is
entirely made here right i might be wrong i don't think they are you drive ford
somebody said to me
i'm like that's when i knew like hold on how's this guy know how to pronounce
it swedish guy
but uh that's a great question let's look that up yeah what cars are made here
what percentage of
teslas are made in america what percentage of fords are made in america that's
a great question man
and i and i guess that you know you could be putting together the full car here
but maybe there's like
certain factors they're doing other stuff and i'm okay with that like i'm i'm
okay with outsourcing
to different countries i think it gives them opportunities as well that's a
cool thing but
tesla claims that nearly 100 percent of the vehicles that sells the united
states are manufactured
domestically exceeding the industry average of 52 percent wow now that doesn't
mean they don't make
cars in other countries as well right but the ones that are sold here made here
regardless okay
if we want to attack in a car company right and again i don't know if they're
attacking tesla
because they don't like the product they're attacking tesla because they don't
like the ceo
of the company yeah and that is the risk of being a celebrity ceo by the way
there's like ceos of
and you talk about this all the time but like some of these like pharmaceutical
companies we don't
know who the they are right and there's a reason because if we did people would
get him
something could happen something could happen we don't know something could
happen like somebody
could throw him a surprise party bro if you if you have a billion dollar
business
and nobody knows who you are you doing some fucked up shit yeah you want some
fuck shit man
right some fuck shit homie yeah so for real so so this is like a kind of shitty
situation where like
yes i understand that he's antagonizing people he's like rubbing people the
wrong way you don't like
the guy you don't like the beliefs you don't like what he's doing and there are
things to criticize
i'm not saying there aren't things to criticize like everybody is nobody's
above criticism but
to punish that car company that is 100 made in america made by people living in
america americans
rely on those jobs like maybe we criticize another thing right
like what is your goal that we shut down those factories and those americans
lose those jobs that
makes you feel better about your gripe with elon that's the thing some people
they they just want
to win an argument it feels like you know sometimes there's people that rely on
those jobs oh for sure
they got kids bro oh yeah oh dude there's no doubt about it but here's one
thing that i think is sad
about the about doge is that the fact that we have to out we now have to have
someone audit our own
government our government is supposed to be the thing that we can trust like it
will never end now
and people are like why is this guy be having a team that audits it's like i
agree but i'll let anybody
audit if if you bring out another company they audit and they find i'd give
them 10 of the bloat that
they find if they you know i'm saying the simple fact that we now have to audit
our own government
yeah i mean i just you know i don't people i think will gravitate towards
corruption naturally and i
think it's something you constantly have to fight every single second yeah you
definitely have to
you said something interesting though like this idea like you wake up every
morning you're like i don't
expect the government to do something for me i think that's a a more like
southern and frontier belief
you know i think that like when you grow up in in like new york there is this
relationship with the
government where you're like if the roads are up you start going yo why the
roads up like we're spending
all this money in taxes or like the government you're supposed to do you're
giving me all these
rules i gotta live by so you might as well do some but that's interesting that
you have this
perspective which is like i don't expect anything from you guys and i wonder if
when they encroach on
your freedoms it's that much more annoying because you're like i don't rely on
you for anything and
you're gonna tell me what to do whereas we might be more accepting of of the
laws and the encroachment
of freedoms because we are more reliant on them for certain things so and i
wonder if that's why like
some of the covet stuff was way easier to accept in big cities because we
already had this symbiotic
relationship with government right whereas in a place like florida or even you
know more other like
southern maybe i guess somewhere i'd say it's not all yeah a lot of rural areas
and more rural areas
it's like yo listen don't mess with me because i don't ask you for right and
now
you're getting into my house and telling me what to do when i already don't ask
you for anything
right we have one road we keep it clean yeah it's fine yeah i drive a truck so
you don't have to pave
it yeah it's fine that's it right we're doing yeah yeah that's a good but yeah
it is interesting how
like different areas could affect your perception and yeah like i think a lot
of like one other thing
is i think a lot of people just worry about our traditions starting to
disappear
but i think a lot of people just don't think about it and i think a lot of
people just don't think about it
and i think a lot of people just don't think about it but i think a lot of
people just don't think about it

Theo and Andrew Schulz Talk Trump 2.0, Elon Musk and DOGE

oh how's the trump thing going over in new york dude you know what's so
interesting is like uh
it was crazy right after the right after the election was over everybody's kind
of went on
about regular life kind of bro it's and like now i'm almost like annoyed by i'm
like i thought we
weren't gonna have to go through this again like i don't know where how it is
like here where you're
where you're living but we're back to like the bipartisan bickering you know
like like this doge
is a big deal right even though there's no american that wants like waste there's
no american that
wants like government bloats there's no american that wants like inefficiency i
don't think any
of us are like voting for those three things yeah so this should be like unilateral
support like we
should all get behind it and maybe the way that they're doing i think trump
even came out and be
like yo we're gonna use a scalpel not a hatchet like i think we're being a
little bit too forceful with
the firings or whatever but this is one of those things where like it's so
annoying and i think you
can you can you can blame elon for this as well like on twitter he's a little
bit antagonistic
about i noticed that recently some of the stuff he says like do you have to say
that like you don't
have to do it right there you're in power now like i think you have to have a
little bit different
energy when you're in power i think when you're not in power you're trying to
get to power maybe that
antagonism is is helpful right it can like embolden the base but you're you're
the leader now
leaders don't need to poke a finger and like twist a knife or whatever like
well i think what he's doing i
i believe that what elon is doing is by creating all that commotion on twitter
it's only helping
his own business right so it creates now that everybody's everyone he wants to
see what he's
going to say but he's saying so many things it's hard to even juggle but so
many people are engaging
and interacting yeah i feel like it's probably the number one news app i don't
know if it's always
been the number one news app has to be um it has to be that's why yeah i mean
don't you learn
just stirring his own business it's like yeah so the more he does that it just
then it's more
impressions the more ads that he can sell right i don't know if that's true but
you're basically
creating a place for people to go consume content in general and if he's the
biggest creator on that
platform then it makes sense that he continues to create so you're saying that
he's not doing this
just to get out information but he's also doing this to like uplift the app it's
like a hype machine
yeah oh wow i don't know if that's true but that's what the feeling you get
from it i'm at least because
otherwise it's kind of in some of the shit's kind of insane it's like what is
this like how is he
doing all of these things and if he's not doing all these things because who
could have time to do
all these things then who is doing it and it's kind of it's kind of annoying
because he's a genius
you want him on your side like i want the guy who makes the rockets on america's
side if we go to
world war three right like i think that's a pretty good idea that we get the
guy who's going to send
a ship to mars on our side if we're going to have like drone warfare throughout
the world like
let's keep him in our good graces i do think and i i'm a little bit more
optimistic about this
administration that's what i've realized with most people like sane people is
it if you don't if you
didn't vote for trump but you're not like a like a complete like lunatic extremist
on both sides
by the way if you're just kind of like a normal regular guy but you feel like
you you lean left
a little bit more you go you just are pessimistic about the administration and
if you lean maybe
right a little bit more but you're not some insane like right wing quack you're
optimistic
about the administration yeah we both kind of want the same thing we want the
best thing for
american people right we might disagree about where we get there but we do want
the most opportunity
wealth um ease of living for american people so when it comes to when it comes

state of the whatever the
delegacy address yeah it was this it was like the state of the two parties are
dressing with the if
you got to watch the hour and a half of that i don't care what side of it this
was hilarious it was like
somebody who wrote like noises off or something it was just a fascinating joint
congressional
committee's address or whatever um yeah there was like they kept cutting this
white dude that was
asleep they threw al green out people thought he was jimmy snooker they threw
him out dude they
kept people like democrats that only had their feelings on little signs that
said like not good
or gesundheit or whatever i bumped into al green at the breakfast club he was

someone's like hey who wants to al green wants to say hello and i was like yeah
sure that'd be cool
this guy just got chucked out of the senate that'd be you know whatever and uh
i went i go i shake
and like his like handle or something like that is like waiting there with like
a camera like tucked
here for the handshake picture and i was like did i just get set up in a photo
op to make me look
sympathetic to what happened like i'm like what exactly is going on that's you
know crazy yeah yeah well
that that's also scary when everybody has cameras everywhere now yeah yeah a
lot of people thought
that was jimmy snooker which makes total sense as well yeah i think it still
think it was what a body
huh let's get it on um was that that was al green let's get it on let's get it
on yeah i think so
but yeah so it's a tricky yeah it's a tricky it's a tricky time now politically
but i just still like
yeah you kind of hope like hopefully there's some long-term strategy here it's
like because if you just
look at the little bits it's kind of scary also if the if and i'm not trying to

it's sad it's like
oh all this place needs is one good like influx of uh of people and a purpose
you know when people
have jobs they have purpose yeah and so it's like i'm just gonna i'm for surely
gonna stay hopeful
i hope that if if there's some tariff stuff and then we start making our own
cars here
dude there's a guy who just made a show i uh a t um a t-shirt i think it's
called american giant can
you look that up there's a guy he wanted to make find a t-shirt that was made

giant clothing he couldn't even get a t-shirt that was completely made here he

and like i'm not
trying to knock any of the american you know other american cars right like but
i don't think ford is
entirely made here right i might be wrong i don't think they are you drive ford
somebody said to me
i'm like that's when i knew like hold on how's this guy know how to pronounce
it swedish guy
but uh that's a great question let's look that up yeah what cars are made here
what percentage of
teslas are made in america what percentage of fords are made in america that's
a great question man
and i and i guess that you know you could be putting together the full car here
but maybe there's like
certain factors they're doing other stuff and i'm okay with that like i'm i'm
okay with outsourcing
to different countries i think it gives them opportunities as well that's a
cool thing but
tesla claims that nearly 100 percent of the vehicles that sells the united
states are manufactured
domestically exceeding the industry average of 52 percent wow now that doesn't
mean they don't make
cars in other countries as well right but the ones that are sold here made here
regardless okay
if we want to attack in a car company right and again i don't know if they're
attacking tesla
because they don't like the product they're attacking tesla because they don't
like the ceo
of the company yeah and that is the risk of being a celebrity ceo by the way
there's like ceos of
and you talk about this all the time but like some of these like pharmaceutical
companies we don't
know who the they are right and there's a reason because if we did people would
get him
something could happen something could
