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.
And good, and good evening,
and good evening, everyone, I'm Dana Perino in for Greg on this special edition of Gutfeld, and it is special edition of Gutfeld, and it is special.
start with some jokes.
There's a stifling heat wave that continues to scorch the northeast.
It's so hot in New York City.
Instead of Molotov cocktails, protesters are throwing slurpees.
All right.
F-1, the new Brad Pitt movie about Formula One racing,
opens in theaters this weekend.
Now, I don't want to say that Brad is getting a little old,
but he spends 90% of the movie driving around
with his left turn signal on.
He offered to do his own drive,
as long as he could pretend he was running over Angelina Jolie.
Illinois Governor J.B. Prisker announced that he will seek a third term next year.
Needless to say, of course, J.B. has a long history of asking for thirds.
In New York City's primary for mayor yesterday, ex-governor Andrew Cuomo was defeated by socialist Zoran Mamdani.
Cuomo was so stunned
He tried to grope himself
Planned Parenthood
has encouraged mend
to get screened for cervical cancer
I do that every month
said one man
After AOC's that she wanted to
impeach Trump
He responded by calling her one of the dumbest people in Congress
which isn't fair
Why limit it to Congress?
Trump did say AOC is far more qualified than Jasmine Crockett,
but that's like saying Greg is more bearable than Jesse.
Trump then referred to AOC as the mouse.
Now, that's not fair either.
One struggles to find its way out of a basic maze, and the other is a mouse.
And finally, retired general,
called, a retired general, called Operation Midnight Hammer, a little bit surreal.
Yeah, well, that's compared to Operation Midnight Hammer when Bill went clubbing in Vegas.
We'll be back with more Gutfeld.
If you're thirsting for no, we aren't there yet, kids won't stop crying.
We brought snacks, but they wanted other snacks.
Stop pulling each other's hair, and we made it 14 minutes with no screens-level refreshments.
We definitely have that.
Swing by Circle K and get a pull or pop for just 79 cents, only for inner circle members.
When you're feeling the heat, Circle K makes your day.
So New York just held his primary for mayor and elected a socialist as the Democrat candidate to move on to November's general election.
Moving NYC ahead in the race for most self-destructive cities,
somewhere between Chicago and a Mogadishu.
33-year-old Zoran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo in this shocking upset on Tuesday.
Yes, that Andrew Cuomo, the same one who sentenced grannies to death in nursing homes during COVID.
I guess the senior vote was important after all.
The same Cuomo who resigned in disgrace and blamed his gropi tendencies on being Italian
like he was Super Mario popping Shialis instead of mushrooms.
But a guy like Zoran is today's Democratic Party.
This is where the energy, the money, and the ambition are,
an anti-Semitic, socialist, inexperienced, immature radical,
who promises to freeze the rent,
offer free bus rides, tax corporations and the 1%
and open government-run grocery stores,
which will make getting food as efficient as the DMV.
Instead of being at Whole Foods,
you'll be in the breadline the entire day.
Now, Mamdani didn't come up through business, law enforcement, or even working at a jamba juice.
No, he is a failed rapper, just like our own MC Hemmer.
And a guy who went from dropping rhymes to dropping economic fairy tales, he was born in Uganda, educated at Harvard, never had a real job.
He's a New York liberal's dream, since they love anyone who is not white or competent.
Imagine Che Guevara with a TikTok account.
That's what we have.
Zoran grew his support among young voters through the popular social media app,
amassing over 400,000 followers, and millions of combined views on his account.
Posting videos with AOC, Bernie Sanders, supermodel Emily Radikowsky,
and that little twirped David Hogg who tried to hijack the DNC but lacked the grip strength to take the wheel.
Before the election, National Review called him the Tickie.
TikTok brain rot candidate and hoped New York Dems of common sense would see through the social media smoke and mirrors.
But they didn't.
And other blue cities like Chicago tried to warn us.
The windy city went from Lori Lightfoot to someone even further to the left, Democrat Socialist Brandon Johnson.
The Chicago Tribune told New Yorkers, quote, they've seen this movie before and the ending isn't pretty.
Then they ducked under the editorial desk at the sound of gunfire.
So what does Mamdani's victory mean for the rest of the country?
Well, as political notes, it signals a seismic shift in national politics and a test for the socialist movement.
A win would shock the Democratic Party and inspire other like-binded lefties.
Translation.
America?
Be prepared for people like Zoran to pop up where you live.
But then comes the real socialism, big government devolving into dictatorship.
Look around the globe.
Socialism's batting average makes the Mets look like the Yankees.
Did I get that right?
Yes.
So there can be little doubt now.
This is today's Democratic Party.
Let's just stop pretending and call it the Socialist Party.
Okay?
And they have more in common with the KGB than they do JFK.
But like most of America's blue cities now run by socialists to varying degrees,
New York doesn't need another visionary with zero experience.
We need potholes filled, subways that don't smell like urine,
and cops who aren't being told to apologize before making an arrest.
So Zoran Mondami is a failed rapper turned socialist influencer with no experience
running anything larger than a group chat.
He wants to turn America's financial capital into yet another failed democratic experiment in free stuff.
And the scary part, he's likely going to win in November
because he's promising dreams to a generation raised on TikTok dances and money from mom and dad.
So congratulations are in order in New York.
You are the new Chicago.
You're going to follow the second city into third world problems.
And congratulations to you, Zeran, and to all your fellow Democrat travelers.
Enjoy the decline in your income, safety, and certainly the quality of our pizza.
Period.
