Starting point is 00:00:00 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,
Starting point is 00:00:24 or read a five-minute summary of the book at economic principles.org. Oh, yeah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, oh, oh, I didn't see you there. Let me put my fan mail away. Happy Thursday, everyone. So according to ex-congressman George Santos, Jerry Nadler has the worst body odor in Congress. Nadler denied the charge saying,
Starting point is 00:01:13 that's not my body, it's my pants. Doge head, Elon Musk says he's considering giving 78 million Americans $5,000 per household. Half of these households will be benefiting from a doge. Ividan. The other half are just his child support. Got a lot of kids. A statue of a woman believed to be more than 2,000 years old was found in Greece. I think we have a picture of the sculpture. Yeah. The Trump administration is ordering the Pentagon to plan for sweeping budget. cuts. Great. Now he's going to do the sweeping. You're cutting their sweeping budget.
Starting point is 00:02:13 No, if you don't like it, it's okay. But it makes you wonder if they shrink the Pentagon, won't they have to change the name to the quadrilateral? Judge is sentencing people who shoplifted at Walmart to wash cars in the store's parking lot. Will that be two coats of wax, asked one man. Yes. Yeah, usually he just waxes his balls. Why did I say that? How would I know?
Starting point is 00:02:54 L.A. Mayor Karen Bass says she's investigating the decision she made to head to Ghana days before for the L.A. fires. She also wants doctors to open her brain to find out why she's so stupid. Delta is reporting offering passengers on the Toronto flight that flipped upside down during landing $30,000.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Here's the first passenger accepting the money. Researchers say that flushed a public toilet releases a cloud of airborne bacteria that can reach deep into your lungs. I know, crazy. I mean, who has ever actually flushed the public toilet? And finally, Wibby Goldberg says Doge should cut funding to SpaceX because the government already has NASA. By that logic, we should also cut the view since we already have animal planet.
Starting point is 00:03:58 All right. Thank you. Let's do some stuff. So we all know the story of Robin Hood, stole from the rich, gave to the poor. He and his band of merry men hung out in the woods, eating apples, and wearing tights. It was just like that summer I spent hiking with RFK. But now another guy with a funny accent wants to do the whole Robin Hood thing right here in America. Musk is considering a doge dividend, tax refund check sent to Americans funded by all the money Doge is saving us. He's giving back the money that the useless stole from everyone else.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Which makes me wonder, if there's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20% of the Doge savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt? There's even under consideration a new concept where we give 20% of the Doge savings to American citizens and 20% goes to paying down debt. Like the sound of that, huh? Kind of makes sense. Now that we've taken back all that dough, our corrupt government has been wasting. Why not give it to the people who earned it in the first place? Finally, my assistant won't have to moonlight in that tire factory.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And it's not like you'd be getting something for nothing. That money was taken out of every paycheck you earn to pay for scientists studying shrimp running on treadmills, workshops for Ecuadorian drag queens, creating super viruses in foreign labs, and, of course, making animals trans. Hell, DOS just discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funding for a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams. Yeah, a nonprofit that at $100 in revenue, mysteriously got $2 billion from us, and it arrived a month after Abrams penned an op-ed, endorsing Biden, talk about a payoff. I haven't seen a bribe that obvious since Britt Hume paid me to keep quiet about his tramp stamp.

Starting point is 00:06:31 Mint is still $15 a month for premium wireless. And if you haven't made the switch yet, here are 15 reasons why you should. One, it's $15 a month. Two, seriously, it's $15 a month. Three, no big contracts. Four, I use it. Five, my mom uses it. Are you playing me off?

Well, it didn't, it definitely didn't go to
Starting point is 00:07:11 dental work. Unfair. True. What Trump's doing just seems right. If the government has been stealing from you to pay off all these frauds, why shouldn't we steal it back? But was that the point of Doge? Doge was designed to confront a debt crisis that spells doom for this country. And it got that way because the government became a piggy bank for special interests in foreign cutouts. We also resented chipping into a leftist slush fund against our will every time we got paid. So now we wanted to be our piggy bank. So much like J.B. Pritzker's pants, I'm torn. First, I want Doge to continue on its amazing war path,
Starting point is 00:08:01 but I realize we need proper persuasion if you want the public to continue to support it over time. And promising thousands of dollars to Americans who've been cheated for years is a hard one to beat. I mean, the Dems are already floundering against Doze, but Doge plus a dividend, it'll be more popular than that mall tour I did with Minuto. So even if it may not solve the intended problem ASAP, it might end up preserving the mission long term, but it still nags me. We're $38 trillion in debt. How will this Doge dividend solve that mountain of a crisis? So I guess you could say that I'm solidly, bravely on the fence. Because we're only a month into Doge, and honestly, it's exhausting. I feel like every morning is the day after Halloween. And I wake up every morning to a day.
Starting point is 00:08:52 bag of candy. And before breakfast, my face is already smeared with more chocolate kisses than that time I played spin the bottle with the Harlem Globetrotters. Oh, my God. Which makes me wonder how long will the public support last when, as Trump once predicted, we grow tired of winning. Well, if there's a reward, the answer would be never. It's basically saying, hey, you've been with us so far. Here's something that tied you along. Perhaps it's not exactly right. Right would be all the cuts go to preventing a full default on the debt. Otherwise, we'll face an economic crisis that would make the depression look like a trip to sandals with Trace Gallagher.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Yum, yum. But while the dividend isn't right, it's persuasive what we in the old days called a bribe. But in this case, the bribe isn't going to a bunch of greedy crooks. It's also not going to rich libs getting student loans canceled so they'd vote for a bribe. brain dead president. It's going to you and your family as a reward for supporting a president who's unafraid to lead. And that's the problem with Robin Hood. He's not always right, but damn is he loved. Let's welcome tonight's guest. He has a holster for his blowdriver. Go host of Fox and Friends, Charlie Hurd. Her name is Liz, and she'll give you the biz.
