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. Thank you, I mean, I'm going to be. Thank you. After not being named Pope. I know. Disappointing. Happy Thursday, everyone. Yeah! Former President Joe Biden was on the view today.

Yeah, it's the closest Joy Behar has ever been to a vegetable in years. Fun story before the interview when the Secret Service patted down Whoopie, imagine their surprise when they found Peter Dinklage. Joe, of course, was accompanied by his wife Jill, the view who said they were looking forward to interviewing the ex-president, as well as Joe Biden. We'll get to more of that later. On a recent podcast, Simon Cowell said he once turned down a couple's offer

of $150,000 to watch them have sex. Wow. These two are getting more and more desperate for viewers. According to a new poll, Columbia was voted the country with the most beautiful women in the world. But come on, any woman looks beautiful when there might be cocaine up her butt. Whoa. Whoa. Tensions between India and Pakistan are still on the rise. As a result, the rest of the world fears they will have nowhere to turn for tech support. It's a joke.

According to a new study, only 39% of Americans would donate an organ to a loved one. But one American actually volunteered to show you his organ. The Trump administration plans to release the audio of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Herr, which her said revealed a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Vegas odds makers are already taking bets on how many times Biden farts. And finally, Ellen DeGeneres has shared videos of her new life in the English countryside cutting grass. It's not that surprising considering she's been mowing lawns for years. She loves to landscape.

She loves... She was not presenting John Deere for years. Yes. You people go right to the lesbianism. All right. So Times Square just unveiled a 12-foot-tall plus-sized statue of a black woman in a pantsuit who looks like she's about to confront her baby daddy

on Jerry Springer. This inspiring monument was erected as a, quote, stark contrast to the two white men who have statues there already. Father Francis Duffy, a highly decorated World War I hero, and George Cohen, who helped to further Broadway in the music industry. The artist claims that the statue's posture is a nod to Michelangelo's David. Yeah. I know.

I can barely tell them apart. Though the other guy, I mistakenly called Steve Ducey, Charles Payne. Now, we're told the statue should instigate meaningful connections, but it's just steps away from an actual meaningful connection, where a gang attacked two NYPD cops who interrupted a robbery. Why not make a statue of that to warn tourists? Now, Tom Holman is vowed to deport those Trend de Aragua wannabes, but incredibly,

ICE was turned away, because, shocker, New York's a sanctuary city. Meanwhile, at Columbia, pro homas agitators continue to wreak havoc, taking over the school's library. After all, it's full of their greatest enemy, books. It pays to note of the 80 arrested 61 were female, and some of them even had vaginas. So how did we get here? Well, it's easy. The lefties traded law enforcement for performance art. and the results are written in blood.

Remember the defund the police movement? A new study confirms what any sane person already knew. Less policing equals more murder. Following the 2020 summer of love, police stops in arrests dropped by 40% across 15 major American cities, leading to a massive rise in murders by 2021. National homicides increased by 7,000 over 2019.

It's as if CNN's entire audience had vanished. We'll be back with more Gutfeld. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for MintMobil. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills.

But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. A front payment of $45 for three-month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. New customer offer for first three months home Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra.

Seamintmobile.com. They tried to lie about crime dropping, but like tickets to see Snow White, people weren't buying it. But from 2021 to 2024, as cities reinstated proactive policing, murders drop by almost 40%. Wow. Now I understand why we have cops. They aren't just to show up and strip at Cudlow's hot tub parties. Those were good. times. And just in time, a poll shows that most Americans, especially blacks, feel that George

Floyd's death didn't lead to any meaningful reforms. They probably weren't happy with a bunch of white coeds telling them they don't need cops in their neighborhoods, and then those coeds leave. So what about all those slogans, all those street murals, turned out to be worth as much as Kamala for president T-shirts? Sadly, we learned that BLM actually stood for black leaders' mansions. So we're not safer. We're not more equal. We're just poorer, angrier, and scared to take the subway.

And what about the communities that defund was supposed to help? Anti-police policies hurt them the most. Blacks in high crime areas. Here in New York, a billion dollars cut from the NYPD budget. Cop retirements up and recruitment down and crime soared.

Stores closed, loved ones never came home as their subway rides turned into mobile asylums. It's called the Ferguson effect, a rise in violent crime when you reduce the police force. And like J.B. Pritzker in the desert, I saw it coming from a mile away. The Ferguson effect is a real thing. The George Floyd effect is a real thing. We saw this coming. We saw that the, what do you call it, the Ferguson effect take hold. That led to destructions of cities, decimation of the police forces and morale. And now they may, what the result is, what you're seeing is the Ferguson effect,

is now the law of the land. Hmm, I know what you're thinking. He's hot. And clairvoyant. That's why I know what you're thinking. In a way, that statue represents America's blue cities, a big hollow gesture that threatens to crush everyday people. Chicago, Oakland, S.F., Portland, Seattle, Memphis,

you get the idea. So when you hear all the lefty BS about criminal justice reform, think of this statue. Because like everything, it's all for show. The Dems aren't looking to make you safer. They're stuck on political theater. Singing horribly, filibustering nonsense, flying away to brown-nosed gangbangers, demanding due process for millions of unvetted illegals.

So as cops get jumped, we get a 12-foot gargoyle. And the people who suffer, not the elites, it's shopkeepers, subway riders, working women. The same communities the clueless lives claim to help. Hell, if they really want to get people talking, why not sculpt a murder victim? Listen ad-free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcasts.
