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. Good evening, everyone. I'm Katten's in for Greg on this special edition of Gutfeld. I'm hosting tonight while Greg cheats on us with another late night show. All right, first, let's do some jokes. Parts of China are fighting an outbreak of a disease that's spread by mosquitoes. As a result, an excited Anthony Fauci is hoping this will give him the chance to kill again. Galane Maxwell reportedly told the DOJ that she never saw Trump do anything concerning.

This reminds me of when I needed a reference, and I got that glowing letter from Tanya Harding. Our very own Jesse Waters said that actor Shy LaBuff verbally attacked him at an airport lounge five years ago. You got to hand it to Shy. Most people don't have the patience to wait in a line that long. This weekend, the Marlins and Braves will play the first major league baseball game umpired by a woman. Instead of calling balls and strikes, she'll just say, it's fine. Sean Diddy Combs reportedly wants to launch a comeback at Madison Square Garden after he's free. So, if you're a Diddy fan hoping for more shows, you're in luck.

It's terrible. A young woman in China can't stop having orgasms, and doctors can't figure out why. Although some experts theorize it might have to do with this man's recent trip to China. According to a new book, poll, Elon Musk is the public figure that Americans dislike the most. To be fair, lots of people end up hating their dads. And finally, another sex toy was thrown on the court at a recent

WNBA game. I wish that happened at my job, said one man. Okay. We'll be back with more Gutfeld. Some people think nature is like this, but actually it's like this. Mother Nature is not all sunshine and rainbows. Nature can be hotter than a sauna and colder than an Arctic skinny dip. That's why Columbia engineers everything we make for anything nature can throw at you. Colombia engineered for whatever. All right, joke time over.

Now to the monologue. According to a report by the New York Times, people backing Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are pining for Donald Trump to get involved in the New York City mayoral race. Because they think he can unite people around one candidate and stop Zoran Mamdani from winning. Word is, Adams has offered him a free ticket on Turkish air,

and Cuomo offered to kill the senior of his choice. The Times also reports that Trump is considering getting involved and even spoke to Cuomo on the phone about it. Trump, after all, like a lot of people, does believe that Mom Donnie would be terrible for New York City. Even communist bookstores are worried about the tax hikes. Worse, Mom Donnie has a real shot at winning. After all, he has been tapping into a real frustration that people feel, that life in New York is far too expensive for the average person. It's true. Some of us have even resorted to wrestling women for gas money. Of course, there's others who are well off enough that they can take multiple days off for one colonoscopy,

just so they can really cherish the experience. Apparently, it took so long because Greg kept shouting, hey, put that back in. Now, it's easy to understand the frustration of people who are Mom Donnie's age. The American Dream is a lot more expensive now than it was in, say, 1980. And yeah, that's even after adjusting for inflation and wage increases. But here's the thing. Just because this guy sees people's frustration does not mean that he has the answers. Consider his lack of qualifications.

He was an organizer for two left-wing advocacy groups for a few months. Then he worked on a film directed by his mom. and then decided to pursue a career as a rapper. He was also a campaign manager for progressive candidates before running for New York State Assembly in 2020. This guy's resume is weaker than over-the-counter cold meds. And for some reason, socialism has somehow maintained a much better brand than it deserves,

despite the fact that it's been tried to various degrees in lots of countries and it never works out. As Greg pointed out recently, when the Berlin Wall fell, not only did it take socialism and communism with it, humanity only fled one way. But these days, some people see socialism as caring about people and opposition to socialism as not caring if people have basic things like food and shelter. And people believe Mamdani when he says stuff like this. Corporations don't want to pay just a little bit more in taxes to make a better city for all of us. Freezing your rent as the next area of New York City. Fast and free buses,

Child Care, funded by taxes on the rich. I will create a network of city-owned grocery stores. It's like a public option for produce. These stores will operate without a profit motive. And before you ask, I'll pay for it by taxing the rich. Oh, so government-run grocery stores will ensure that the prices of grocery stays low? Just ask the Soviet Union how that worked out. The point is, why would anyone trust this guy on anything just because he says so?

The last time I just took a man's word for it, I wound up pregnant. Thanks, Larry Cudlow. What? He told me and my husband, you can't get pregnant on Saturday. Damn, you, Cudlow. Dr. Drew didn't pick up. So, yeah, it's not that those who oppose Mom Dani or socialism don't want people to be happy and health. and prosperous, no. For us, it's just that we understand that socialism removes incentives

to compete, to innovate, to strive for achievement. Socialism is like a sport that always at best ends in a tie. Capitalism, on the other hand, thrives on incentives and creates opportunity. It creates wins that can benefit everyone. Bottom line, Mom Donnie would be a disaster for New York City. We all know it, and Trump does too. So, who knows? Maybe he will step. Maybe he will step. and help one of the other options when. Plus, unlike Mom Donnie, at least Eric Adams has done something of value. Like that time, he taught us parents

how to search our kids' rooms for drugs. You can look in a jewelry box, a jury box of this nature, maybe a simple jewelry box, but if you look through it closely, you don't know what your child may be hiding. For instance, a gun. You should always, when your child bring in his popular knapsack with many different locations,

look through it to see what exactly is your child carrying? in addition to a book. Something simple as a crack pipe. Look at picture frames behind them. Cameras. Try to determine what's taking place. Behind a picture frame, you can find bullets. Something simple as a baby doll. Could be just a baby doll, but also it could be a place

where you can secrete or hide drugs. Run your hands over the pillows. And see if you feel anything that's unusual. Like a pillow like this with a button is a perfect invitation to hide something. I felt something bumpy. I would reach in, see what it is. This one could be hitting inside a pillow.

Just look and see what's inside your bookcases. It could be more than just books. Perfect place to hide cocaine. That never gets old. Also, I'm glad my dad never saw that video.
