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 This Kennedy never takes a backseat That is subtle Host a Kennedy on Fox business Kennedy He dresses up as Santa because it's the only way he gets to see his kids

actor, writer, and comedian, Jamie Lissa. She's like an icicle, cold, sharp, and can be found hanging upside down in your doorway. Foxxie contributor, Cat, too. And the winter solstice starts when he opens his fridge. My massive sidekick in the NBA World Heavyweight Champion, Tyrus. Kennedy, I want to go to you first because, like me, you've been in this business a long time. You've seen the ups.

You've seen the downs. You've seen the sideways. The ins and the outs. And the ins and the outies. Yes. Do you notice that correlation between a slow news day and an absence of news people? Like, whenever there's holiday, I mean, it's like suddenly, do killing stop? Does everything just stop?

And then now it's just a, we talk about the weather? Yeah. If there are no news people in the forest, do the trees not make any sound when their branches snap off? Yes. So does that mean that they are just manufacturing news? By and large, the answer is yes,

and all you have to do is look at the news that they have ignored and look at the news that they have focused on. And you realize that there is a great imbalance in this country in terms of people speaking truth to power. All they are doing is othering aside they don't agree with. But agreeing with something does not make it true.

It does not make it right. But we have given up on objective journalism in this country. And I think most people who call themselves journalists should just give up and start selling houses. Yes. There's still some people. I mean, obviously the people working on the Twitter files. Twitter files are great. Shellingberger and Taibi and Barry Wife.

Berry Wife. Please bang. You laughing because I have a terrible memory. I have not had much sleep. You know, I got a puppy. I have not slept. You know, Jamie, I was wondering as I was coming here, whose hatred is worse?

Liz and Adam toward Trump or your ex-wife toward you. The ladder. Yes. Did she take the ladder, too? Yeah. Because she took the house. I got it, yeah.

Ladder? Yeah. Nothing like a big old bottle of salt in the wound. You got any lemon slices in there? I'm going to be honest, I needed the ladder explanation to get it. I don't know if I'm just stupid. That makes you a ladder day saint. Oh, damn.

I'm sorry. You encourage them. Go ahead. Keep going. I have a problem. It's okay. So what, Jamie, I mean, now they're going to release his tax files. It's like what Kennedy said.

They're avoiding real news. Now they're going to release his tax returns. Haven't they had enough? What's your take? Well, first of all, I'm still reeling from this news about Lincoln. Yeah. I had no idea. That's the great thing about knowing nothing about history.

You can watch historical movies and be surprised, you know? Like, I was watching Pearl Harbor, and I was like, what did they do? It kind of changed your view of World War II. The whole thing, I was like, I had this all wrong. Yes, exactly. But I mean, obviously, what irritates me the most is the press. secretary comparing Jan 6 to the Civil War. That's insane. I saw on Twitter people were like, that's like comparing apples to oranges. And I was like, I feel like that's not a horrible

comparison. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? I think we should get rid of the whole saying apples to orange because they're both like circle and they're both like fruit. And we should change it to like, that's like comparing the press secretary to someone who's not a dumbass. Yeah. But isn't it? Isn't it insulting though? I mean, that's, I feel like it's almost insulting to, like, veterans almost. Of course it is. Can you imagine you're talking to something? You're like, oh, we're both in the service.

You know, you guys like, yeah, I was in Afghanistan. You know, what about you? I was on, you know, Jan 6. He's like, oh, how long were he in for? Half a day. Half a day. Yeah. I got home before Wheel of Fortune.

Yeah. We had a couple of fallen brothers, but they got back up. It's embarrassing to me. It is, it is. I would not compare Jan 6th to Civil War, but I would compare Jan Brady, Civil War. A little Brady bunch humor there, Kat. I know how you feel.

You look at this stuff and you go, there goes our tax dollars again. Yeah, I just don't understand. Just because something happened after a very, very bad thing, doesn't mean you can compare the two things. You can find some little thing in common. Like, okay, eight years ago, my mom died. Mm-hmm.

Okay. At some point after that, my dad took a nap. Yeah. Technically, you could say that that was the worst instance I had of trying to reach a parent since my mom's untimely death. But I would never make that a comparison because it's insane. Yes. So I have no idea how you get away with saying something like that. But I think she just says stuff like that all the time.

So we're just kind of getting used to it. Yeah, it's their show trial, Tyrus. Is it as bad as the Civil War? Sure. I remember minutes into January 6th, I got a text going, you're not free anymore. Briss report to Georgia in the cotton line. I was like, oh, it really is bad. And then it stopped, and I was like, whew, that was almost as bad as Civil War, I think.

No, you know, here's the thing. This is what impeachment number three, this is what this was. This is virtue signaling. They were about to get canceled. It's coming. They had to get it out. But again, when this first came out, there was these two agencies, and I know they're not real popular with this right now, but the CIA and the FBI, they did a pretty good

investigation. They determined that the president wasn't a character that they were investigating. Okay. Maybe he was a jerk about it, but he clearly wasn't planning it and et cetera. That means nothing to them. Right. Because they needed one more thing because they're trying to stop him from giving. reelected. So this is how they're trying to do it. That's all it is. But again, if something's

truly bad, like if I lost both my legs and a shark attack, I don't have to compare it to anything else. I lost my legs and a shark attack. So if January 6 was that bad, you don't need to compare it to anything. You know what I'm saying? You don't. That's exactly right. Why would you compare it? January 6th, oh, yeah. Damn. Oh, you've got to compare it. Because I remember when 9-11 happened, we weren't doing comparisons. 9-11 was as bad as the time I missed my alarm for school. No, no. Yeah.

You don't compare. You know what? It's similar to Gordon Liddy always hated when people would tag Gate. Yeah. On to the end of a scandal, like, travel gate. Yeah, yeah. It's like, intern gate. It's like, that was the name of the hotel, the office building, where they broke in. I know.

It doesn't signal anything else. But the one thing, they've stopped comparing everything to Hitler. Yeah. So that is there, they're slightly more sophisticated than... I remember when that guy stole my gate, and we were calling that gate gate gate. Really? And then I had a limp, and that was also a bad gate gate. You just need a nap.

We're going to pause the show 30 years, and he's going to take a nap. All right, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.

Should adults feel ashamed for purchasing kids' games? Yes, I'm sorry, girls and boys. Those are your aunt and uncle. stupid toys. A market research firm, those are my favorite, reveals that it's actual grown-ups

who buy a quarter of all toys every year for themselves. And totaling $9 billion in sales. These so-called kiddults really love cartoons, superheroes, and collectibles that remind them of their childhood and help distract them from the crushing weight of work, family, and their own impending doom. And maybe they want to recapture their youth, or a youth, but who has time to rent a van and buy rope? So they buy merchandise, such as action figures, Lego sets, and dolls that might typically be considered for kids.

And I say, what's the problem? I buy clothes intended for kids. So this year, adult toys take on a whole new meaning. Meanwhile, those other adult toys are saved for show and tell in kindergarten. Irony. But action figures can be worthy investments for single dads like Jamie. You buy these toys and it's pretty certain your ex won't take half your stuff. Just punch him.

In the stomach. Not the face. You know, Jamie is, I don't know. Just think of an insult. that I would come up with and then answer however you like. Okay. Why do only half my kids hate me

because my wife took the other half? Yes. This story was kind of crazy, though, because they're like, I'm glad you kind of made that clarification because I was reading it. It was like, oh, 30% of these toys are bought by adults.

I'm like, we're buying all this. Yeah, right? But it's for themselves. Yeah, I even get a little about, like, the Santa thing. I get a lot. I don't want to say too much, but like, I started having

and Santa buy, like, stuff that's not as good in making mistakes, and then I come in and save the day. I want credit for that. I worked hard for this money. But, yeah, I don't think this adult toy thing is a new thing. Like, I had a girl break up with me because she bought an adult toy that replaced me. I...

I... But I think you hit it right on the head when you said it's people wanting to relive like the happiest moments over their life. They were like, they had something, and now they no longer have it and they want it again. I do the same thing. I was on Amazon last night you bought a huge box of hope. It's even funny when you do it. Kennedy, wouldn't this keep you from dating an adult male if you went to his house and

he had like a big box full of toys that he wanted to show you? Or maybe it's on the shelf or something like that. Yeah. So when I read this story, like I'm all four collectibles. Obviously I love sports. I love sporting. But then I realized I was walking around my house with a Yoda backpack and a copy of Precious on my finger. And I was like, oh, my God, I'm the person they're talking about it. Like, I go to Yankees games based on which bobblehead they're giving out. That's true.

And yes. And we went on Aaron Judge Bobblehead night. That was really important to me. And I was like, oh, my God, I'm that person. Like, I'm the person. I go on vacation and they have like an icy machine for the kids. And I'm like, can you add some Tito's to that? It's funny how, remember how, like, when bobbleheads were such a big deal,

and now everybody's got a bobblehead, you know? You have a bobblehead? You know, look, you've got a bobblehead. Mm-hmm. Yeah, right now. Just nodding. I was referring to the bobblehead disorder, and how dare you laugh? How dare you laugh?

Cat, uh, kidult, perhaps one of the worst smush names of all time. Portmento. Kidult. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I also, this story defined adult as anyone 12 and over. Yeah.

Oh. Like, did a kid trying to get his parents to do something right this? I do that and I get arrested. Yeah. You're not, like, you're not an adult when you're 12. You're an adult the first time you cry and you realize nobody gives . Wow. You know, I think this is going to be our holiday repeat.

Yeah. It's true. Nobody cares. You realize nobody has to. Care and you're all alone in the world? That's an adult. Yeah, you know, but the thing is, Tyrus, I have toys of you. Wrestling dogs.

So there are people who collect things. I believe my lawyer called you about that. You're supposed to turn out. Listen, I think especially for us generation Xers, because we had to work for everything and a lot of things we wanted, we didn't get. And our parents would say a thing. Our parent, in my case, you'd be like, you don't need that. You don't need that.

So you waited. Because no one holds a grudge like the exers. So we waited So we got successful Then we bought that And then we put it We put that Godzilla Right in the middle of

Because where we wouldn't be allowed to put it Don't put toys in the living room Oh, it's going right in the living room And I'm going to put a spotlight on it And so I collected I bought every toy I ever wanted That I couldn't get And then I put it in a massive display

And just dared her to see it I don't know if she could see it From Fonskin, California But I made it pretty right So I get it You know, collecting is, it's a good hobby. It's fun as long as, like, with anything.

It doesn't spill over. You know, if you see your child playing with it, be like, oh, it'd be so much funner if you kept it in the box. You know, like, you got to let it go. Yeah. My kids get into my stuff. It's cringeworthy, but, like, it's their time. Yeah.

Healthy, collecting is fine. Yeah, you should treat it like the climax from seven, you know. What? I don't know. You bring that up at least once a week. I bring it up in a good place. I don't. And you creep it up.

I don't read. Oh, wait. It's like, you just can't help it. I know. I have a problem. I admit it. This is, the show is an intervention every night.

Cadult is a terrible. It is. Why do you have a... Why are you trying to help him? Whatever you say to him, he's going to turn around and be like your unmarried shirt. He's going to say something to you. Wait, but what do you have an option?

Well, maybe like, add a losers. There you go. But you're winning because you can afford it. Yeah. There's no nickname. You're a grown-ass man. who likes Godzilla's. Come take it. All right, I got to go.
