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. Happy Tuesday, everyone. I am Tom Shaloo, in for Greg Gutfeld. Let's kick things off with some jokes. Rosie O'Donnell took to TikTok to say F-U Time magazine for naming Trump as man of the year, adding, that award belonged to me. Yeah.

Vending machines that dispense ammunition are coming to U.S. grocery stores. As a result, cashiers are planning to loosen up the eight items or less rule in the express line. In a new study, rats are learning to drive miniature cars, and they seem to enjoy it. Rats, of course, are a lot like Uber drivers,

only they have better hygiene. That's kind of a New York thing, right? Yesterday, a magnitude 2.8 earthquake shook the Los Angeles area. The tremors were so powerful, some shoppers at Target actually dropped the merchandise they were stealing. A DJ stabbed by a dancer at a vegan strip club said it felt like he was being attacked by a 500-pound man. But investigators say he's just really weak from being a vegan. All right.

Now to the monologue. Trump's press conference yesterday gave some insight into what his second term is going to look like, and it seems to be caused for celebration. It was a freewheeling presser without any notes or a teleprompter, and he didn't have any approved lists of reporters or pre-written questions. You can tell because he, of course, got a lot of questions like this. Are you entertaining the idea of preemptive strikes against your robinson? nuclear facilities? Against Iran's nuclear facilities?

Well, I can't tell you that. I mean, it's a wonderful question, but how can I, am I going to do preemptive strikes? Why would I say that? Can you imagine? Have I said yes or no? You'd say, that was strange that he answered that way. Am I going to do preemptive strikes on Iran? Is that a serious question? How could I answer a question like that? Yeah, how could he answer a question like that? That would ruin the surprise. Like me saying that in the six cents, Bruce Willis is dead the whole time, which I would never do. Trump also demonstrated the art of the deal with the diminutive CEO of SoftBank who just pledged a hundred billion dollar investment in the United States. Now, what do you think Trump said to that? That sounds good enough, not quite.

Would you make it $200 billion, I said? Believe it or not, he can actually afford to do that. Would you do that? Well, my promise is 100, but, you know, he's now asking to do more. I will try to make it happen. That's good. All right. $200.

He'll make it. $200 million. He is a great negotiator. He is. Trump drives a harder bargain with Japan than Godzilla. We'll be back with more God.

And Trump wasn't happy with the news that the Biden administration is auctioning off pieces of his border wall for pennies on the dollar. But is it very powerful steel?

Is it very hard steel? It's very powerful steel. It's very hard steel. It's a special type of steel, but very, very hard to cut inside the steel. And then we put an anti-climb plate on the top. you saw that and I didn't like the look of it but then when I watched we had people testing we had mountain climbers actually testing

and they were not able to get over the anti-climb plates so I said all right I guess we're going to put it on that plate on top which I never loved the look of it but it works so unbelievably well you have to do it yes you do

by the way Judge Janine purchased some of that wall just to keep Greg from her stash of Activia Okay, so we've got two of Trump's favorite subjects, economic growth and securing the border. But will he take a look at TikTok? We'll take a look at TikTok. You know, I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok

because I won youth by 34 points. And there are those that say that TikTok had something to do with that. Now, Joe Rogan did and some of the other people that were recommended by my son Barron, he knew he knew names. I said, who is that? Tell me, who's that? Dad, you gotta be kidding.

I can't believe, you don't know. And I did those interviews, and it was actually sort of cute. It was cute, actually. And was it Barron who introduced his dad to that tiny little man he'd never heard of? The media has been fearmongering about Trump's plans for RFK Jr.,

saying he wants to, quote, bring back polio, which is basically this year's he's telling us to drink bleach. But does he think you're going to find that Bobby is a very rational guy? I think you're going to find that Bobby is much, he's a very rational guy. I found him to be very rational. No, nothing, you're not going to lose the polio vaccine. That's not going to happen. And how about those mysterious drones popping up all over New Jersey and other states up and down the East Coast? Does our military know where they took off from?

our military knows where they took off from if it's a garage they can go right into that garage they know where it came from and where it went and for some reason they don't want to comment and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense yeah i don't want the military in my garage unless they look like pete haggzeth But all in all, it was an hour-long tour to force. And now Trump seems to be clearing a path to actually govern. So we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but do we finally have a reason to be optimistic

about making America great again? I hope so. I hope so, because then I can put my solar flex back in my bomb shelter. Period.
