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. Stop! Yes! Yeah! Stop! Stop it! You're killing me! Oh, your applause is like nectar. All right, happy Thursday, everyone.

So Comcast is getting rid of MSNBC. And as predicted, Joy Reid is already blaming white women and white men. But network morale is at an all-time low. Staffers claim it's as bad as the time Chris Matthews wore mistletoe on his belt buckle. But because MSNBC is now untethered to NBC, it's going to have to be renamed. It's like when ValueJet crashed and burned and changed its name to Death Trap. So MSNBC is now MSRIP, which is why we came up with some new options to help him out. How about untrue TV or lack of oxygen network?

Or the We're History Channel. Or, you know, go with something that works. Cartoon Network. So Matt Gates has withdrawn his nomination for Attorney General. But don't worry. Don't worry, Donald Trump is going to replace him with someone far less explosive and far less volatile. On second thought. Trump also picked former acting AG Matt Whitaker as NATO ambassador.

Matt joined Stephen Miller and Tom Homan in Trump's collection of balding bad Which makes one wonder, who could be next. Speaking of nominations, the Daily Mail attacked our very own Sean Duffy for being a partier in his young single life. But since then, he's been married for 25 years. He has nine kids. And everyone knows you can't party. nine kids. I mean, that's why they arrested Diddy. Disgraced actor, Justice Smollett had his conviction thrown out by the Illinois Supreme Court. Now we can go back.

Oh, yeah. But now we can go back to what he really loves doing, hiring Nigerians to fake hate crimes. And finally, Richard Gere was caught on camera giving the middle finger to Savannah Guthrie on the Today Show. Guthrie appeared shock and must have been wondering, what's up this guy's butt? Never gets old. Unless you're gerbil. So, sorry. As Anheuser-Busch has learned, one bad ad can really mess up your whole year.

That company put a transgender person's face on a can of bud light, and their stock crashed. Turns out most guys don't want to mix cheap beer and chicks with . And they also don't want to be told that they're bigots for feeling that way. But what about a more upscale brand, like, say, luxury cars? Jaguar just unveiled a new ad campaign, and it's got everyone talking when they aren't. actually puking. And yes, the obvious point will be made. If they're talking about it, then it worked, right?

I mean, Alec Baldwin had everyone talking about rust. Not sure that's old movie tickets. Roll it, Erigan. What the hell was that that was that a lineup of all the previous Biden-Harris cabinet picks? It's weird. It's like too can Sam followed his nose into a huge pile of cocaine. It looked more like a cuddlow hot tub party than a car ad.

And look, if I want to see unattractive men in heavy makeup, I'll watch Jesse Waters' prime time. And what's with the slogans, create exuberant? Was that translated from Fabio's dating profile? Live vivid? Sounds like something the Hansy drama teacher wrote in everyone's yearbook. Copy nothing. Sounds like the Asian kid I sat next to an algebra right before every test. But I haven't seen that many empty slogans since Kamala lost.

Of course, all that was missing in the ad was a car. Now, on one level, the ad agency did its job. It made a splash on social media. But then again, if I took a giant dump on a plate of mashed potatoes and put it online, I'm pretty sure that would cause a splash, too. Which is the point. The people Jaguar is appeasing is on social media, which I guess are gay Martian carnival freaks who don't buy jaguars.

But as when Jaguar exec said, the goal is to make you feel uncomfortable. You did it. But hey, if I want to be uncomfortable, I'll go to Brit here. Hume's annual massage weekend in Sag Harbor. Not invited, huh? If you want to cause distress, you're going to save a whole bunch of money and just showed Joe Biden eating a baby.

Brett Hume massage party. Now, a lot of people assume Jaguar has gone woke. Well, thanks for connecting the dots, Matt Locke. Last month, Jaguar took part in a Attitude Awards, which honored gay icons like Elton John and people who aren't Elton John. Jaguars head of brand strategy, a BLM supporting designer, spoke at the event. Watch. At Jaguar, we're passionate about our people, and we're committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and unified culture. And we're on a transformative journey of our own, driven by a belief in diversity, inclusion, creativity, policy, and most importantly, action.

We've established over 15 DEI groups. We've launched major policy revisions, such as transitioning at work, to drive equity and support for our communities, embracing individuality as our superpower. Oh, shut the fuck up. It's a, it's a, Our company, for Christ's sake, not drag queen's story hour.

How about telling me how many frigging cup holders it has? He used more woke buzzwords and joy read saying grace on Thanksgiving. Diverse, inclusive, unified culture. I can't believe Biden didn't put him in charge of nuclear waste. And he boasted that Jaguar has 15 DEI groups. Now, the last time I checked Porn Hub, there aren't that many races. But it's not just one DEI group, it's 15, which is evidence of the parasitic consequences of a competing but non-profit-making goal.

And none of them participate in the company's mission, which is to make a great car that turns a profit. Instead, with its own competing goal, which is self-preservation, it only grows like a cancer within every company it inhabits. I'm willing to bet at Jaguar there are more DEI administrators than car designer. I can't wait to see what the car looks like. Want to bet it's an automatic but identifies as a stick? All right, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. This episode is brought to you by Amazon Prime.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back.

MSNBC is the end near Andrew. Drew Comcast is selling MSNBC, separating it from NBC news, which is panicking staffers. This has ratings have plummeted since the election. They get a lot of their star power from NBC. Who are they going to get now from TikTok? I don't know. They may even have to change its name. What are your thoughts?

Well, so I was on Fox business today. So this makes me a business expert, right? So I just want to preface it with that. This is a Ponzi scheme. This is a legal Ponzi scheme. See, MSNBC has been loring in viewers or investors in this analogy with lies, right? Russia, all these different lies we've seen. And it's gotten to the point where it was like,

Trump's going to line up every American and kill you. And then Trump won the election. And in every Ponzi scheme, there's a point at which the House of Cards falls apart. And it's falling apart right now. And people are jumping off the ship, right? That's why, you know, they're going to visit. Trump suddenly everybody's like, well, he's not that bad of a guy. It's going to be good.

And MSNBC realizes that the Ponzi is over. And here's something really coincidental to prove my point. So who was the biggest Ponzi guy of this era, Bernie Madoff, right? Sure. Sounds pretty similar to Rachel Maddow. Yes. Just remember this. Remember this. Listen, he mentioned Tommy Boy in the first segment.

He can say whatever the hell he wants. Kat, you know, they're meeting with Trump still causing the controversy. Meek is still defending the meeting, and she's wondering if they'll even have jobs. Now, I think we have a sot of her. Drudge at the top said, oh, like news meltdown, all this other stuff. I mean, I could be completely wrong. We could all be fired a year from that. When this happens, you never know what's going to happen.

Or tomorrow. They're loaded, right? They're loaded, so they could just joke about it. Right. You know. I am finding myself a little confused about people who are still watching. Yeah. Like, what is the profile of this person who is still watching?

Like, who was like, you know what? I really loved hearing all day about how Trump was Hitler. And now I really love hearing about them hanging out with him. I'm not surprised that people are no longer watching. I want to know who still is. Because you can't, you created this. You know, you created this by saying, this is. He's Hitler, this and this is the end of democracy, whatever.

And then people were watching for that. You can't just, like, change it and have the same viewers, so I don't understand. Yeah, it's like a soap opera when the bad guy suddenly becomes the good guy, and you're supposed to believe it. And it's just because they ran out of ideas, Tyrus. I don't like to engage in Shadenfreude. Is that how you say it? It's German for being hot.

Oh. But it's taking pleasure in somebody's downfall. Yeah, but they're, I think you can, because there's a lesson here is what, and before that, though, I have to correct you, you said they have money. Clearly, she has the money. Yes. He has delusions of grandeur. Well, we can ride this out for a year. She's like, no, some of us will be gone tomorrow.

So, and she's the producer. Yeah. She's going to be fine. Oh, Joe's going to have to break out that guitar and go back to the cool days. But this is, we're seeing the adults in the room. And yes, you're 1,000 right, it is a scheme, but they're losing funding. They're losing investors because of the great con that they were participants. So they won't go to jail, per se, but they will lose.

They'll be like juicy small a trying to get an acting job. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They were part of the same thing. There's no difference than what they did every night. And the people who are watching still are the ones who believed every word they said. And they're sitting at their couch just now figuring out where they're going to, waiting for them to tell them, why are we doing this? Why are we doing this?

When you see people who are making the videos and we're freaking out and they believed what MSNBC, it's like if we went on a banner for the entire time and said that Kamala was a communist agent and that, you know, we said all these things. And when she was Hitler and she was all these bad things. and then it turns out it's wrong. None of us would be here. Nobody believed you anymore. And that's what they're at. You know, Heather, I want to play you a clip of Mike Barnacle. No relation to the actual barnacle?

I don't know how they make themselves, how we make ourselves relevant again, because we can't compete with 20-second snippets on an iPhone, walking up the streets, getting your entire news digest of the day in less than a minute on your phone. I don't know how we catch up. to that. So this is, what he's saying is that's what's killing them, not the fact that they're filthy liars. No, it's technology. No, it's not. There are a lot of successful cable news outlets

like Fox, hello, MSNBC, since the election, right? Yeah, nicely done. MSNBC lost 39% of their viewership since the election. CNN, their rival suffered the same similar fate. Fox, daytime viewers of 38% and primetime, hello, up 21%. Yes. You're welcome. Some companies have figured it out, and this is not a 20-second snippet clip. This is a one-hour show. You're providing content, although it's comedy.

It's, well, not all of it's real. I mean, you do stuff on gerbils and, like, increase your biceps and stuff like that. But, you know, this is real. Are you questioning our objective gerbil reporting? No, but at the end of the day, what matters when you look at these performance? metrics across different industries and companies is who's watching? How many eyeballs do you have? And they have lost theirs. It's very clear. And so for a cable news company, the CEO Brian Roberts said, oh, well, this new company will be highly attractive to investors. And the old companies

like MSNBC will survive and be successful alone by themselves. Really? Why are you getting rid of it? And that's true. Why are you getting rid of it? Yeah, that's like dumping your cat in the woods and saying he'll be fine. We, he went to a farm up state. All right. We're out of time. Heather Zubaraga, Andrew Grohl. Katz and Taras, studio,
