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.

All right, cold temperatures have finally come to New York City. It's so cold. workers are actually going indoors to urinate. Facebook and Instagram's parent company, Meta, admits that they overdid it a bit when it came to moderating pandemic-related content.

That's the weakest apology since the Titanic's captain said, whoops. An L.A. landlord claims that Hunter Biden tried to pay off $300,000 in back rent with paintings he made from his own poop. Gross, I know, although one man said he's interested in buying them. Two Delta Airlines flight attendants were pulled from a flight for failing a breathalyzer test, with one blowing seven times the legal limit. Meanwhile, Spirit Air pulled staff members who were trying to study for the breathalyzer test. A new startup is offering online shoppers insurance to protect themselves from porch pirates who steal packages from their doorsteps. PorchPow's annual subscription costs $120, but for only two bucks a month, they'll send an email saying, wow, that sucks.

All right, let's do the monologue. I'm going to say something you're probably not used to hearing a lot if you watch this channel. I agree with Bernie Sanders. And not because we're always freezing. A few days ago, a few days ago, he suggested that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, aka Doge, might actually be great if the cuts include defense spending. Elon Musk is right. The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its seventh audit in a row.

It's lost track of billions. Last year, only 13 senators voted against the military industrial complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud. That must change. We'll be back with more Gutfeld.

Yep. Thank you. Then Elon replied, cool. Now, just saying cool may seem flippant, but it's hard to impress a guy who's awesome at launching rockets and getting people. pregnant. But it's a big deal because the Pentagon does waste a ton of money. And one of the main ways it gets away with it is by successfully smearing people who dare

to talk about this as somehow not caring about national security or worse, not caring about the troops. But it's something I've been talking about forever and I love the troops. I love them so much, I let a troop get me pregnant. Thank you. Yes, yes. Don't feel bad. He got combat pay.

It's not just the 86.5 million spent on DEI programs when studies show that those kind of programs don't even work or maybe even make things worse. It's not just that report from a few years ago that found that the DOD spent nearly $5 million on crab and lobster within a single month. and $9,000 on one chair. A chair that costs $9,000.

It's crazy. It's almost as much as Greg spends on his daily shoe inserts. I keep telling him we can reuse them. It's not just the absurd amount of money that we spend on foreign wars, insisting on being the world's policemen, even though we're repeatedly failing to even be a good one. It's all of it.

Just losing track of billions of dollars is not okay. And failing your seventh audit is not okay either, especially because the Pentagon has only been audited seven times. For those of you keeping score at home, that is all of the audits. If your kid failed 12th grade seven times,

you wouldn't give him money for college, let alone nukes. But yeah, Doge has its limits. It doesn't have any formal government powers, and although it can recommend things for Trump to do, anything massive in terms of savings or reorganization would need bipartisan congressional support.

But one thing it's already done is get people talking about spending. And not just any people or just any talking. It's got Bernie Sanders and Elon Musk agreeing. In the words of Greg Gutfeld when that street

orphan dropped his last $5, I'll take it.
