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.
Let's welcome tonight's

Outnumbered co-host Emily Campano.
You know, critics said we'd never be able to book Time Out Magazine's
Joke of the Year winner 2009, but here we are.
Westernraiser.com owner, David Angelo.
And finally, she's like a pretzel, twisted, salty, and better.
when smothered and hot mustard.
Fox's contributor,
Cat Tim.
So, David, why the hat?
What's on your head?
Well, you know, Greg, I've come on the show several times,
and I'm always pumping the Western Razor Company,
and I figure, you know what, I don't need to keep saying it.
Let's just put it up here, get it out of the way,
and then we can get down to business.
It's not doing very well, is it?
Yeah, you know.
I'm living in the...
the YMCA and
but you know
what? We're talking about balloons
here. You make razors.
You must have your own, you could have
probably solved this problem much faster than our
daughter and president. Well, you know, I think
our operation is part
of the reason why they sent that over here.
Really? Made in America, razors?
Come on, we're threatening in the entire
industry. They're a little worried.
Yeah. That's what I'm thinking.
But, you know, the weirdest thing about this
is like all you had to do is
send a balloon over to spy?
Yeah.
Like, why did we make U-2s?
Why did we do, we made the fastest
plane in history to fly
over Russia?
Francis Gary Powers, you know?
This whole thing. All we had to do is go to Party
City. Yep.
Lob one over Leningrad.
It's true. Why did we work
so hard? Where's my money?
That's the thing. It's like, we got cheated.
It's a huge balloon, too.
I would have loved. I love big balloons.
Don't you, Emily?
balloons are fun. And they've used
this fun for evil. I hate
China for what they've done to our balloons.
What do you think?
They've ruined every birthday party from now.
Yes. What do you think about the public
going up watching it and then the media
turning it into some kind of blame
game? What do you make of this?
Yeah, I think, well, I think that the administration
is trying to turn this into a
success story for President Biden
when it's anything but. Because
what we do know, so it
entered our airspace, three days
later he was informed. Was that because he wasn't trusted with the information? Is it because
he doesn't have the respect of our defense and intelligence communities? I'm not sure. But then
he said he told them to shoot it down right away, which either they ignored or had a better
plan. Either way, his fragility is on full display here. And first of all, I miss Secretary
Pompeii and President Trump so much because under their watch, this would not have happened.
The instant something from the CCP entered our airspace violated international.
national law and then our sovereign airspace, it would have been shot down over the Pacific,
not the Atlantic. So the fact that he now pats himself on the back and says this is a success
after it's collected, who knows what, you know, intelligence, files of intelligence on the entire
continental U.S., there's nothing successful about it. And the Chinese must have known we would
shoot it down, which means it was worth it. Whatever modicum up to a huge amount of surveillance
that they got during that journey was worth it to them, which means it was getting a whole
whole hell of a lot more than we expect. And I also think that it provides this sort of
visual representation of what China's been doing for us for years, which is infiltrating
our sovereign nation at any point, from cybersecurity to physical bases, our education system.
TikTok. Everything. Everything. Everything they have invaded us. Raisers. Lawn furniture.
There you go. Now we just have the visual representation for it. So I hope that we keep our fingers in
the sky, the middle one.
Ooh.
Oh, wow.
She is filthy.
Brian, welcome to the show.
This is your first time.
Thank you. I'm so glad to be here.
It's been a long time coming, but, you know, I've heard good things.
I'm glad you could do the balloon thing 20 times when I came, too.
That's really great.
The kids at home will love that.
Yeah, that's good.
Do you think this could have been handled better?
Well, there's so many excuses being made, and most of them are really bad,
but the worst one is that there's no room in Montana to take.
this down. Like, Montana is the Atlantic Ocean of States. Okay, if you can take a balloon down,
you can do it there. The Biden family must have never taken a road trip in Montana to believe
that you couldn't do it. But before that, it was in Alaska. This thing was in the Aleutian Islands,
a Chinese spy balloon, and they knew about it there for two days. Yeah. And they didn't do anything.
Of all the excuses they've made, the worst one is that they couldn't have acted preemptively. They
could have. And as a result, China got, who knows what kind of intelligence from this.
They saw how attractive our moose are. How do you say plural of moose?
Meese. Meese? Yeah. Really?
Gotcha. It's not. He had me there for a minute there.
He did. But there is an argument, Kat, that if we were to shoot them down, what if it was filled
with like COVID spores or something like that? Or it was filled with something that if you detonated
would explode and then kill them.
everybody. But then in Alaska and Montana, that's 12 people.
I'm kidding. I love those people. Sometimes say I love them too much.
I have some great customers in Montana. I just, I'm not a, I'm not a spy balloon expert.
But I should have been. Yes. Because I could have been in these meetings when they were
designing this thing. I could have been like, hey, guys, it's kind of big.
It's not very sneaky.
No, it isn't at all.
It's not sneaky at all.
Like, I didn't know what a spy balloon looked like,
but now that I do, I mean...
Yeah.
Nothing else looks like that.
Why does it have to be so big?
I would think it would be...
You'd have to make it smaller.
Someone in the meeting somewhere should have said,
hey, we should make it maybe make it more smaller.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, like, when you wear a wire,
they don't put, like, lights in it.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
We're going to see it, but I, you know, again, not an expert, but that is a huge missed opportunity on my part.
Yeah, that's true.
You should be thinking your career choices during this story.
It's raised definitely more questions than it's answered, right?
Yeah.
Well, you guys don't care anymore.
Staring at me, and this is very awkward.

flight attendants discuss why they wish you took the bus
flight attendants are sharing what passenger behavior bothers them the most
inventing their frustration like most people do on a Facebook page
one of the top complaints was passengers failing to respond when flight
attendants greet them which I understand
you know a piece of advice from yours truly a pat on the ass goes a long way
a sexist would say
they also don't appreciate when you
You board the plane while you're talking on the phone or FaceTiming someone, other frustrating
behaviors, not smiling or saying thank you when leaving the plane, probably because the entire
experience of traveling sucked the life out of you.
Also, leaving headphones in while they're trying to tell you how to buckle a seatbelt.
And let's not forget walking to the bathroom barefoot.
I know.
But again, how is Kat supposed to show off her extra toes?
They also hate being telling us.
on the shoulder.
Wow, it's like they're asking you
to pat them on the ass.
Wow, get another sexist would say.
One flight attendant posted
this bizarre annoyance, bringing a half-dead,
blinded one-eye chihuahua
and slapping a service dog vest on it.
Well, excuse me,
that's the last time I bring my own meal on board.
I eat little dogs.
Emily, I bet you have the opposite problem.
with flight attendants, they're like, will that lady
stopped smiling in me?
She scares me.
She's so cheerful.
Why weren't you a flight attendant?
Why wasn't I?
Yeah.
I had different, I had different
passions.
All right, next question.
I think part of what is
maybe frustrating about this list from
the flight attendants is that if we
weren't treated like cattle, we wouldn't treat
you like a cattle prodder.
It's the, yes. Right?
They got the prescription, they got the prescripted backwards.
Totally.
Like, do I greet my bus driver with like, oh, hey, Frank, how is it going?
He's probably get the F out of here, get to the back.
So if we're treated like that on the planes, which are nothing more than a subway in the air,
then I'm going to treat you probably the same way that I treat my subway driver, right?
You don't make eye contact.
Don't talk to me.
I won't talk to you.
Everything's cool.
So I don't know.
Right, exactly.
It's a class system.
You can see it.
You can see they treat people in different department classes on the plane differently, and everybody
sees this.
What's the worst thing you've seen on the plane?
I assume in business you travel a lot.
It's probably stuff I've done, actually.
I've got three kids, so I am the guy on those planes who everybody hates.
And you're trying to keep your kids in their seat and not urinating on the person next to them.
And that's very, very hard to do.
I've never complained about that.
Anyway, go ahead.
You want to go on a trip together?
Because I can help you complain about that.
But here's the thing.
When you're on a plane, like, okay, there's the one I understand.
When you're landing, you just landed.
And everybody knows the rules.
You don't get up until the plane has stopped.
And there's that guy who gets up while the thing's still going like 80 miles an hour down the...
It's like, I don't really care that he's doing that.
But you've got to know if this isn't your first time flying.
Don't stand up.
I could see a flight attendant getting a little uptight about that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David, you've been on a plane, right?
Yeah, you know, I only fly private, so I don't really know what you guys are.
Sorry, people.
But you only take balloons, that's the deal.
I fly Chinese balloons, and it gets me where I need to go.
Keep the razor in your pocket.
That's how it gets down.
That's right.
I do fly a lot.
You know, I just actually, I took the late in the last night on the Southwest,
I took the pink guy in.
I mean, that's what it's become.
That's what it's become.
Yep.
And, you know, the thing is, I can't be shocked.
You know, when you live in New York, I'm not shocked by any of this behavior
just compared to the subway.
Yeah.
You go on there.
It's like, oh, there's a naked fella with a knife.
You know, what are you going to do?
Oh, your overhead bin was open?
Oh, okay.
No, it's true.
We've all adjusted what we're willing to handle.
We're just happy somebody's not spitting on us or, you know.
You know what they should do is if the people are getting rowdy.
The pilot should just do a sustained nose dive.
There you go.
He can.
You know, you ever, when there's rough turbulence, everyone behaves.
That's the best.
They are all praying.
They're all quiet.
Nice.
Cat, should be, should flight attendants be complaining as much as, we should be complaining more?
Yeah, I guess.
They can complain, but like, does anybody care?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I really hope that, like, a smile from me is not going to make or break your day.
That'd be really sad.
And also, like, sometimes there's reasons not to make eye contact with them
because if you make eye contact with them, then they'll tell you sit down.
Yeah.
And you have to pee sometimes.
Yeah.
I'm like, I can't hear you.
No, like the rule of thumb is if you got to pee, you just get up and pee.
You get up and go and you don't make eye contact.
You don't make eye contact.
I didn't see you there.
I thought I was the only one of the same.
It's like you can't stop me.
What do you got arrested for trying to pee, everybody would support you.
Oh, I'd love that.
Yeah.
You'd be like the Rosa Parks.
That'd be huge for my brain.
actually there needs we need to have a like a political religious figure for people who have to
pee a lot i'm that guy i'm the guy we're out of time thanks to amalie compano brian brendberg
