On Thursday afternoon, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is a certifiable moron, tweeted about the wonders of the left's favorite new New York icon, the bronze statue of a fearless girl who stands in defiance of the even more famous statue of a Wall Street bull.

De Blasio tweeted, quote, unlike the charging bull, which has become a symbol of Wall Street, Fearless Girl is a beacon for the fight against injustice.

Here are a few things you need to know. One, the Fearless Girl statue is funded by a hedge fund.

State Street Global Advisors is behind the sculpture. State Street Global Advisors manages $2.5 trillion

in assets. The notion that it funded a statue to rail against capitalism is idiotic. State Street isn't just

representative of Wall Street. It invests in Wall Street on the most general level by putting all

money into funds that track the performance of the indices. As Wall Street goes, so too does Fearless

Girl. Two, the hedge fund has few female executives. State Street Global Advisors has 28 high-level

executives according to the New York Daily News. Five are female. Total. Three, employment in New York relies heavily on Wall Street.

According to the New York Federal Reserve, the financial services sector represented 35% of all paid

income in the city of New York as of 2000, and more than one in 10 people employed in New York City

were employed on Wall Street. The Fearless Girl statue is a bit of stupid virtue signaling by a firm looking for some good publicity. De Blasio has embraced it because he is a stupid man. But here is what de Blasio should understand. If the bull actually walks away from New York and the Fearless Girl remains, the bull is going to be like all the jobs. It'll just be gone in the distance. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro show.

Uh, people on the left like de Blasier are so stupid, but it doesn't matter. I love that they're

obsessed with this statue that was put up by a hedge fund because they think that it's against hedge

funds because stupid. We'll talk about that. We'll also talk about, I have a theory. I'm developing a theory of what exactly Trump is doing in foreign policy, which is good because no one really has a theory as to what is going on. There are multiple working theories, but we will discuss them. I think it's a theory that will make no one happy and yet everyone happy, just like most of the things that I say.

But we'll get to that in just a second.
