Tucker Carlson said Ray Dalio is one of the world's smartest investors, but more important, he's likely the wisest. Make yourself read this book. That book is how countries go broke, the big cycle. In it, Dalio explains the mechanics behind big debt cycles, and what they mean for countries with big and increasing debts like the U.S. and what you should do to protect yourself. You can find it wherever books are sold,

or read a five-minute summary of the book at economic principles.org. I can see the coupon special worked. Happy Wednesday, everyone. So illegal aliens detained at alligator alcatraz are mad because their ham sandwiches aren't toasted. Meanwhile, the alligators are complaining that the detainees aren't toasted either. In that now infamous interview making the rounds, Hunter Biden, said that illegal immigrants do all the jobs that nobody wants to.

For example, harvesting, processing, and selling him cocaine. Hunter also said he thinks of Kamala Harris as family, promising that if she ever passed away, he would immediately bang Doug. It's not gay if he's a widow. But he also says that he loves Kamala like his own dog. which, of course, is a stretch because he's met Kamala. Deadbeat Dad's section didn't like that. I send the check.

The president's son also admitted that while he was using, he was drinking a half gallon of vodka a day. Or as one person calls it, cutting back. Yeah. To slain Maxwell may cut a deal in exchange for information on the Epstein list. In the meantime, her family is keeping an eye on her new prison guard. I feel a little bit weird about this one, but okay.

Over in England, 11 gardeners quit working for King Charles, claiming a toxic workplace. They say the final straw was when the king demanded they trim Queen Camilla's Bush. She has a very elaborate garden. A lot of thorns in the road. A lot of thorns. President Trump said he plans on going after Obama for ordering the Russian collusion investigation. He claims the only reason he let Hillary stay out of jail is because he wanted Bill to suffer.

And finally, an influencer posted a video where she unknowingly swam in raw sewage. Speaking of waters and full of . Catch a Jesse's show at 8 p.m. That's a plug. Not a hair one either. All right. We'll be back with more. Godfell. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for MintMobil. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. A front payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. New customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra. See MintMobile. So here's a phrase that should set off more alarms than a bulge at a beauty pageant.

We mean well. It's what people say when their brilliant plan dissolves like my edible speedo and Larry Cudlow's jacuzzi. Oh, oh, you meant well? Right. So do the guy, so to the guy who invented the student loan program or the geniuses who thought decriminalizing shoplifting would work in our major cities. Spoiler, it didn't. Because intentions don't stop to. Disasters. Historically, the people who meant well are the disaster. The French Revolution, meant well. Then off came the heads. Communism meant well. Just ask the people who lived under it. Oh, that's right. You can't. They're dead.

Throughout history, meaning well has been the clove cigarette that leads to the fentanyl of failed societies. Fast forward to NYC, where two illegals were arrested after shooting a U.S. border protection agent in the face during a robbery attempt. in a park, which is normally a safe space for New Yorkers to enjoy their heroin. The accused shooter had a rap sheet longer than Trump's neckties. Larsony, assault, kidnapping, witness intimidation. This guy's not undocumented. He's over-documented. Get this.

The Biden administration released him into the U.S. after vetting him over Zoom. Yeah, nothing like a virtual interview. to assure he's not a gangbanger. Hell, did they also search for his criminal record on LinkedIn? But does anyone on the left admit this is a failure of sanctuary policy? Of course not. Here comes morning blow.

You understand the purpose behind sanctuary cities, and you understand that it's motivated by people with all of the best intentions. Right, Joe. And so is getting your mistress tickets to cold play. You don't get points for good intentions when citizens get shot in the face, you d-de-h. Who knew Mika would turn out to be the smart one? But this is the left.

If your heart's in the right place, your head could be so far up your ass, your forehead actually has hemorrhoids. You know, Democrats love to say, oh, we support getting the worst offenders out first, but then sanctuary cities refuse to cooperate with ice on anything and throw up every roadblock they can. Because as usual, their words are emptier than the 38 Burger King bags on the floor of Stacey Abrams car. So what happens?

Thugs don't get deported, they get protected, then they get violent, then cops get shot in the face, and somehow the left misses the connections. And when that happens, the media is more silent than Jimmy Kimmel's audience during a monologue. But if this story had been reversed, if an ICE agent had accidentally sneezed on a migrant, you'd get wall-to-wall coverage on CNN saying that the agent's snot is worse than 9-11. Remember the Border Patrol whipping hoax?

The media wanted so hard for that to be true, and it wasn't. Then there's the migrant who faked her own kidnapping, sparking a huge media narrative. Big surprise, hoax too. But hey, good intentions, right? The left thinks good intentions not only excuse bad acts, but that good intentions are enough. They're like the alcoholic who drinks two quarts a gin a day, but ignores the cirrhosis. Which is why sanctuary policies ensure zero accountability. You can't detain, you can't question, you can't deport.

Even if the person is as guilty as Joy Behar stuffing a pie down her spanks. And the defense is always the same, but we're morally superior because, we mean well. But even their intentions are in question. Democrats really want illegals to gerrymandar the census. More illegals per district boosts their numbers. So forget even the good intentions. It's really about power. But Americans are waking up. New polls show most voters support mass deportations. They're tired of meaning well. They want action and not performance art. So next time someone says, I meant well, run like hell. Because the road to hell is paved with good intentions, well, except in blue cities where they're also paved with poop.
