Now just the guys. Happy Wednesday, everyone. So according to the latest Democratic polls, Kamala Harris has overtaken Gavin Newsom. But since he's dyslexic, Gavin now thinks he's in first place. Speaking of Kamala, Ms. Harris was seen with a drag queen who was impersonating her. The impersonator was so convincing he's currently banging Willie Brown. Barack Obama played basketball with an NBA star to tease his presidential center. They played a game of horse, or as Barack likes to call it, Michelle.

Meanwhile, as Obama played basketball, Joe Biden played dead. And somewhere, Hillary played hangman. To destroy Iranian missile sites, U.S. forces used deep penetrator bombs that weighed 5,000 pounds each. You had me a deep penetrator, said one journalist. Sunday night reality star Lisa Rina attended an Oscar party wearing a dress made from 11 pounds of human hair. But don't worry, most of it was ethically sourced from Chuck Schumer's ears. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian fell while wearing eight-inch heels on her way to an Oscars party. She's fine. She's fine. but it took doctors hours to pry Peter Dinklage out of her ass.

Thank you. It's okay. In Texas, a half-naked man on spring break was twerking on top of a speeding Jeep. It sustained a serious head injury after it crashed. Thankfully, Larry Cudlow is expected to make it. A former Price's Right model claims that sexual harassment was rampant on the show. Turns out when Johnny Olson said, come on down. He was actually talking about Bob Barker's pants.

And finally, comedian Chelsea Handler says the house that she bought from RFK Jr. was deemed toxic and unlivable, which are the same words used by her gynecologist. We'll be back with more Gutfeld.

All right,

this is crazy. New York City spent roughly $81,000 per homeless person last year. 81 grand. With that kind of cash, those shopping carts they push should be chauffeur driven. Now, I've lived in New York for decades, and I often truly

wonder why. Yeah, it's the city that never sleeps, only because if you doze off, you might wake up inside a chalk outline. True, it's hard enough living here without being homeless until you see how homelessness is incentivized. No bills to pay, free food, no accountability, a roof over your head when you want it. Of course, you don't need 81K for that. So the money must go somewhere else.

And that's shelter operations, administration, security, health care, social programs, not to mention the bottomless mimosas. It is New York. In other words, everything except disincentivizing homelessness. So it's no wonder the homeless are growing like RFK's pecks since he started eating pandas. And we're surprised? No, it's like hosting a free all-you-can-eat buffet and they're being shocked when the view refuses to leave. But for the people running this grift, that's the point. They use compassion to get the money, but the problem remains so the money keeps going.

Think about how cruel that is. The worst place for a homeless, mentally ill person is a city, especially New York, freezing winters, humid summers. There's hardly any public bathrooms, so you'd have to poop in a bag and mail it to CNN, which I don't encourage, maybe. But there's a reason they used to put sanitariums in quiet, wooded places with fresh air and no loud, stressful noises. It's key to be somewhere away from crowds, which is why Kilmead's book signings are so calming. But instead, we keep people in the most volatile environment possible, because it's profitable for those in charge. I even ran some numbers, meaning I hired an Asian kid. For 81 grand a year, you can get a one-bedroom apartment in a decent neighborhood, pay for food, transportation, internet utilities, health care.

Hell, you could have money left over for hobbies or buying money. my latest book, which is available everywhere. But since the homeless are incapable of functioning, they stay put and they get worse. And the bureaucrats get paid. Since 2019, spending is tripled. Next year, it's going to cost 97 grand per person. And what happens when it reaches six figures?

Do the homeless start paying taxes? And force bums to say, screw this, I'm pushing my shopping cart to Florida? Imagine if a sports team did this. Yeah, we lose more games every season. but we're still going to pay the coaches a lot more. Now, the city's controller admits this is a mess, but he also blames homelessness on, quote,

larger migration patterns, not under the city's control. Like, you know, what are they? Canada geese? I mean, it's true. Both do shit on my windshield. But it's dumb to think the homeless are getting rich off this. It's the nonprofit shelter execs who make between 600 grand and a mills. a year. Talk about the perfect Blue City grift. Bureaucrats give your money to people who don't work, then tax it back again to pad their salaries. It's a financial circle jerk that would make

Minnesota daycares wonder why they didn't come up with it first. It's the opposite of compassionate, but calling it incompetence lets the crooks off the hook. It's greed. Every casualty on the street means more money for them. You see human misery, they see a kitchen renovation. And what of compassion for the taxpayer who shovels thousands into this system and still has to run from a feces encrusted madman waving a two by four? Sorry, you don't get any because you're just a wallet on legs. And not for the bums, but for the crooks who monetize the bums.

The people in charge, they don't want homelessness solved. It's their second homelessness. they're worried about. And that Beach House, it isn't going to pay for itself. You are.
