Based Camp - USAID： The Truth & Lies (When Did Reality Stop Mattering？)

00:00:00.000 We found a video of the Doge meeting with USAID's team.

00:00:04.540 Give us a little more information

00:00:05.640 surrounding the deficits that you're running this year.

00:00:07.720 Ooh, gosh.

00:00:08.840 We don't really like to talk about money.

00:00:12.860 We find it a little gauche.

00:00:14.580 This is a budget meeting.

00:00:16.240 Well, most of our files are in these boxes

00:00:18.000 if you really want to take a look at how much that we've spent.

00:00:20.960 Why don't we just dig in and see what we're up against?

00:00:22.800 Yes, and thank you.

00:00:24.960 We really appreciate your help.

00:00:27.360 Are you tipping me?

00:00:28.940 Is that a hundred euros?

00:00:32.040 Hello, Simone.

00:00:33.020 I'm excited to be with you here today.

00:00:34.620 We have talked about the USAID controversy,

00:00:36.500 but I hadn't had a time to do the deep dive

00:00:38.560 into both sides of the argument before this,

00:00:41.520 into the specifics,

00:00:42.660 because you see a lot of crazy numbers being thrown out there.

00:00:45.200 And honestly, if you've just been watching white-wing media,

00:00:49.860 some of these numbers have inaccuracies

00:00:52.320 or misconceptions in the way they're presented.

00:00:55.680 Others, when you dig into them,

00:00:57.780 are even crazier than you thought they were

00:01:00.800 on a surface level.

00:01:02.240 Okay, because, yeah, my default here as a listener is,

00:01:05.280 okay, everything I'm hearing is a little exaggerated.

00:01:08.280 It's not exactly that bad, but it's bad.

00:01:10.200 And you're saying that actually some of it's even worse.

00:01:13.000 Some of it's dramatically worse.

00:01:14.720 Some of it's dramatically less bad.

00:01:16.660 Okay.

00:01:16.920 And if I'm going to start with just one that's dramatically less bad,

00:01:20.500 it's a story about the U.S. government funding media organizations,

00:01:24.860 like the $4 million to the New York Times,

00:01:27.060 the $8 million to Politico.

00:01:28.960 If you look at this,

00:01:30.560 there was a few sort of misconceptions

00:01:32.320 that are bundled in the way this is presented.

00:01:34.540 It's presented as if this is only coming from USAID,

00:01:37.800 which actually isn't true.

00:01:39.440 The money that came from USAID, for example,

00:01:41.140 last year for Politico was $25,000.

00:01:42.800 Now, when I hear $25,000 and I hear this is for the special subscription,

00:01:47.660 keep in mind, this isn't for, like, the public subscription.

00:01:50.040 Premium business subscription with analytics.

00:01:52.100 It's supposed to be for, like, analysts,

00:01:53.880 similar to what you would get.

00:01:54.880 It was like, God, what's that report that I used to read?

00:01:57.120 Bloomberg. They had, like, I think many people who went to business schools.

00:02:00.380 No, no, not Bloomberg. Zyhan used to work for them.

00:02:02.200 I was thinking of the Stratford report,

00:02:03.680 which costs, like, $1,000 a year,

00:02:05.420 depending on what subscription you're using.

00:02:07.460 But they're, like, just for-

00:02:07.800 Well, anything.

00:02:08.540 I'm thinking about Bloomberg subscriptions

00:02:10.520 and Bloomberg terminals at business schools

00:02:12.520 that I went to, and those were, like, really expensive.

00:02:14.540 It was such a big deal to have a Bloomberg terminal.

00:02:16.580 It's a waste of government money,

00:02:18.480 but I do not think that they were explicitly paying for stories.

00:02:21.880 It was premium subscription.

00:02:23.320 So they were supporting the organizations, though.

00:02:26.040 Yes.

00:02:26.520 They weren't using the full-

00:02:27.860 They could definitely go back and renegotiate.

00:02:30.420 But also the, for example,

00:02:32.380 the numbers cited, like, the $8 million

00:02:33.580 weren't in the one year, right?

00:02:35.320 Another part of the story that I've seen reported

00:02:37.460 in a few places that is just a complete fabrication

00:02:39.780 based on a manipulated video

00:02:41.680 is that some celebrities were paid by USAID

00:02:45.920 to go to the Ukraine

00:02:47.520 to attempt to improve the U.S. public's opinion of Zelensky.

00:02:52.740 That did not happen.

00:02:54.120 Those celebrities went on their own money

00:02:55.960 or were using U.N. money.

00:02:57.480 So this is me saying some of this stuff

00:02:59.580 is less bad than we thought it was.

00:03:01.960 Others, where they will say something like the eight,

00:03:05.480 the, well, we'll get to that later, actually.

00:03:07.100 And I'm not going to get to any of that.

00:03:08.680 The first thing I actually wanted to go into

00:03:10.640 was two points in this.

00:03:12.040 One, I want to read an article

00:03:13.740 about the way the left is framing this

00:03:15.680 and the way the left is freaking out about this

00:03:17.380 that I think was written about

00:03:18.800 by the woman who did that freak out about us

00:03:20.700 just yesterday for Salon.

00:03:22.540 She published her, like, private blue sky

00:03:24.580 in an unsearchable way.

00:03:26.080 She does these, like, images.

00:03:27.800 So they're really hard to find.

00:03:29.320 Because after I saw this the first time,

00:03:30.400 it took me forever to find it again.

00:03:31.860 But the second, and I really,

00:03:33.680 I want to get ahead of this,

00:03:34.900 is the argument for USAID.

00:03:37.940 Because I think the argument for USAID,

00:03:40.660 before we get into all the ridiculousness,

00:03:42.300 just to steel man it,

00:03:43.440 is on its face a really, really bad argument.

00:03:47.680 Okay, why?

00:03:48.700 So the pragmatic argument for USAID

00:03:51.440 is that, look, you've got China doing soft power

00:03:55.160 in places like Africa.

00:03:56.420 Africa is where the majority of the USAID money was going.

00:03:59.140 Keep in mind, this is $50 billion a year

00:04:01.560 that they're getting when people are like,

00:04:03.560 oh, Elon's, like, an unelected person.

00:04:05.480 Well, these people are,

00:04:06.260 I didn't vote for the stuff that USAID is doing,

00:04:08.100 and we'll get to it.

00:04:08.640 It's crazy.

00:04:09.140 It's crazy.

00:04:09.980 But they're like,

00:04:11.580 this is building us good relations with Africa

00:04:14.160 to help fight China, right?

00:04:16.260 And I'm like, no, it's not.

00:04:19.660 Are you out of your mind?

00:04:21.760 China is going in,

00:04:22.880 getting influential government officials.

00:04:24.920 You can interview people on the ground.

00:04:26.520 We've been in secret meetings

00:04:27.540 where we talk with government officials

00:04:28.820 who have, like, gotten reports

00:04:30.140 from what's happening in Africa.

00:04:32.340 Africa does not trust the U.S.

00:04:34.420 They do not like when people

00:04:35.620 just walk into their community

00:04:36.640 and are like, I got the shots.

00:04:38.160 Just take the shots.

00:04:39.480 Stop asking questions.

00:04:40.980 There is not a belief

00:04:42.700 that these organizations are doing well by them.

00:04:46.040 They're just attempting to force things on them.

00:04:47.800 And you'll see with all this, like, LGBT stuff,

00:04:49.980 all this promoting atheism.

00:04:51.040 Yes, they literally tried to promote atheism

00:04:52.760 in a non-atheist country.

00:04:54.180 This is pissing off the local people.

00:04:56.460 This is not endearing us to these local people.

00:04:59.260 Maybe in the past,

00:05:00.500 U.S. aid had some things

00:05:02.480 where they were, like,

00:05:03.520 helping our relations with people,

00:05:05.040 but not today.

00:05:06.980 Yeah, it's funny how my impression,

00:05:09.380 overwhelmingly,

00:05:10.300 especially of U.S.-based aid work in Africa,

00:05:14.920 for example,

00:05:15.540 is just blanket suspicion of it,

00:05:18.640 conspiracy theories.

00:05:20.080 You're trying to measure us.

00:05:21.720 You're trying to sterilize us.

00:05:23.520 You probably are.

00:05:24.480 You're trying to poison us.

00:05:25.200 Yeah, and that's the thing.

00:05:26.100 It's like, I imagine that there is actually

00:05:27.500 a lot of, like, measurement and research

00:05:28.980 being done on populations in these areas.

00:05:31.760 So, I mean, like,

00:05:33.740 yeah, I've never thought of it

00:05:35.020 as getting us ahead.

00:05:37.100 I always thought of it

00:05:37.940 as making maybe some positive difference,

00:05:40.340 but in a New York Times op-ed

00:05:42.840 that I just read

00:05:43.640 of the former head of U.S. aid

00:05:45.820 under the Biden administration,

00:05:48.320 she only described one program in it

00:05:50.940 in the entire article

00:05:51.960 that saved lives,

00:05:52.840 and the rest of it was

00:05:53.940 about this argument,

00:05:55.620 this thesis that

00:05:57.340 if you do nice things

00:05:59.020 to other countries,

00:06:00.140 they're more likely to be compliant

00:06:01.860 when you need to put peacekeepers

00:06:03.080 on the ground

00:06:03.640 or something similar.

00:06:04.960 This is like if you put wokeness

00:06:08.140 in gamers' video games,

00:06:09.420 gamers are going to like you more.

00:06:10.860 No, they'll hate you.

00:06:12.920 They will declare a fatwa on you

00:06:15.280 and everything you have ever stood for.

00:06:17.200 And then in the article,

00:06:18.180 she complains, as you mentioned,

00:06:19.680 and she's like,

00:06:20.220 and a hundred people have died

00:06:21.700 in the last few years,

00:06:22.640 U.S. aid workers.

00:06:23.300 No, no, no, I think in total,

00:06:25.360 but this should be

00:06:27.460 a unanimously celebrated organization.

00:06:31.440 If they're being killed,

00:06:33.740 either there's very terrible mismanagement

00:06:36.000 or they're in areas

00:06:37.040 where people are very hostile toward them.

00:06:39.540 And if people who are receiving aid from you

00:06:42.640 are so threatened by you

00:06:44.860 that they will end up killing you,

00:06:47.480 you're clearly not doing your job.

00:06:49.300 Like, get out.

00:06:50.180 The mission is failing.

00:06:51.800 This is not working.

00:06:52.860 It's not,

00:06:54.340 like, even if you're trying to deliver

00:06:55.940 life-saving malaria treatment

00:06:57.640 or HIV treatment,

00:06:59.520 if the people in the area

00:07:01.220 think you're trying to poison them,

00:07:03.280 you really just shouldn't be there.

00:07:05.220 Like, your money is going,

00:07:07.840 is like 0.1% effective

00:07:11.080 when some other organization

00:07:12.660 would be way more effective.

00:07:13.800 When China's out there

00:07:14.480 building bridges for them

00:07:15.600 and building ports for them

00:07:16.700 and building something.

00:07:17.080 Well, and there are ways

00:07:17.820 to deliver like HIV medication,

00:07:19.760 but when you are

00:07:21.280 a very mistrusted entity,

00:07:22.920 you shouldn't be the one to deliver it.

00:07:24.960 You know what I mean?

00:07:25.700 And what's worse about this

00:07:27.180 is USAID worked separately

00:07:29.260 and did not have ties

00:07:30.560 to the State Department.

00:07:31.680 So they would frequently do things

00:07:33.600 specifically designed

00:07:35.000 to undermine the State Department's agenda

00:07:36.960 if they felt that

00:07:38.480 the State Department's agenda

00:07:39.580 did not align

00:07:40.420 with whatever they were attempting to push.

00:07:42.300 Oh, wait, so not even like friendly fire,

00:07:44.980 ships crossing in the night,

00:07:46.160 like not realizing

00:07:47.020 that they were undermining their work,

00:07:48.740 but actively undermining their work?

00:07:50.240 Actively, because they believed

00:07:51.600 that their work was to push,

00:07:53.600 well, a woke worldview,

00:07:54.960 which we'll get into in just a second.

00:07:56.340 Oh my gosh.

00:07:57.540 But more than this,

00:07:58.320 I want to start with

00:07:59.060 the Democrat freak out against this

00:08:00.500 because I love this article

00:08:01.660 because I think it helps

00:08:02.480 get in their mind's face, okay?

00:08:03.860 Okay, okay.

00:08:04.660 So she goes,

00:08:05.800 Musk's goal is to remake America

00:08:07.980 in his own petty selfish image.

00:08:09.980 There are many reasons

00:08:12.040 why Musk is using U.S. aid

00:08:13.740 as a test case

00:08:14.540 to see if he can appoint himself

00:08:16.380 as dictator

00:08:17.080 without pushback from Congress.

00:08:19.400 As Ann Applebaum says,

00:08:21.040 foreign aid isn't popular with voters,

00:08:23.080 most of whom don't understand it,

00:08:24.580 or maybe they do

00:08:25.260 and they just don't like it,

00:08:26.260 but okay, continue.

00:08:27.240 So it's low-hanging fruit politically.

00:08:29.520 If Musk and the MAGA forces

00:08:31.260 get away with this,

00:08:32.620 they'll rapidly expand,

00:08:34.200 curtailing or shutting down

00:08:35.740 more popular programs,

00:08:37.300 such as funding for healthcare services

00:08:39.220 or food assistance.

00:08:40.800 Yay!

00:08:42.260 Ding dong!

00:08:43.280 It's America, motherfucker!

00:08:44.900 Here I have a little flag

00:08:45.860 in the background.

00:08:47.020 But continue, continue.

00:08:48.520 But I also think

00:08:49.600 that there is a psychological angle

00:08:51.180 to Musk's eagerness

00:08:52.300 to demonize U.S. aid.

00:08:54.440 He loathes a reminder

00:08:55.620 that contrary to his philosophy,

00:08:57.600 good people do exist

00:08:58.860 and not everyone acts

00:09:00.380 solely out of self-interest.

00:09:02.020 Musk has long treated

00:09:03.080 altruism as fiction.

00:09:04.800 He seems to hold the view

00:09:06.080 that people never do good things

00:09:07.820 for good reasons

00:09:08.580 only because they wish

00:09:09.800 to exploit others.

00:09:11.440 I think often of how Musk

00:09:12.880 said blah, blah, blah, blah, blah here.

00:09:14.940 But what I love about this

00:09:17.460 is the complete inability

00:09:19.080 to understand

00:09:20.540 that these people

00:09:21.420 working at U.S. aid

00:09:22.560 who are using

00:09:23.200 other people's money

00:09:25.040 to promote their own agenda

00:09:26.400 are not philanthropists.

00:09:29.500 Yeah.

00:09:30.720 Like,

00:09:31.340 that you,

00:09:32.000 they have essentially stolen

00:09:33.680 and $50 billion a year

00:09:35.520 not just because

00:09:36.540 when you say U.S. taxpayer,

00:09:38.240 it hides that

00:09:39.240 this is coming

00:09:40.320 from the U.S. government

00:09:41.640 not helping people

00:09:42.880 after floods.

00:09:43.700 This is coming

00:09:44.580 from the current situation

00:09:45.900 we have in California

00:09:47.060 right now.

00:09:47.900 This is money

00:09:48.520 that could have been spent

00:09:49.640 on helping U.S. citizens

00:09:51.940 who do not have

00:09:53.820 the cash right now

00:09:54.740 in the programs

00:09:55.820 that they need

00:09:57.000 to save lives.

00:09:58.120 And it's being spent

00:09:59.540 with literally

00:10:01.060 no hope

00:10:02.400 of advancing

00:10:03.180 any American agenda.

00:10:04.920 This is 100%.

00:10:06.000 Like,

00:10:06.220 the idea that Musk is mad

00:10:07.580 that these people

00:10:08.120 are do-gooders,

00:10:09.000 these people

00:10:09.700 are not do-gooders.

00:10:11.940 If I go up

00:10:13.700 and steal money

00:10:15.060 from somebody

00:10:15.800 because these are

00:10:16.420 unelected officials,

00:10:17.600 right?

00:10:18.240 Steal money

00:10:18.880 from somebody,

00:10:20.580 use it

00:10:21.280 where I take,

00:10:22.460 let's say,

00:10:22.840 90% of it

00:10:23.760 and I use it

00:10:24.200 to promote my religion

00:10:25.180 because that's what

00:10:25.780 this is for a lot

00:10:26.380 of these people.

00:10:26.880 Most Americans

00:10:27.440 don't agree with this.

00:10:28.640 And then I pocket

00:10:29.480 the other 10%.

00:10:30.660 I'm not a hero.

00:10:32.400 I just pocketed

00:10:33.220 10% of the money

00:10:34.160 and then used the rest

00:10:34.980 to promote my weird cult.

00:10:37.440 Yeah.

00:10:38.300 Not good.

00:10:39.700 But people can say,

00:10:40.840 oh, well,

00:10:41.220 this isn't,

00:10:41.860 this isn't about

00:10:43.920 promoting my weird cult.

00:10:47.160 So,

00:10:47.760 oh,

00:10:47.940 oh,

00:10:48.080 by the way,

00:10:48.440 a meme here

00:10:48.940 that I need to share

00:10:49.520 with the public

00:10:49.960 that I love

00:10:50.540 because they keep thinking

00:10:52.600 of being going on

00:10:53.140 all these leftist sides

00:10:53.800 that the right

00:10:56.220 is panicking

00:10:57.920 about what Trump's doing now,

00:10:58.960 that we don't love this.

00:11:00.220 And the meme was,

00:11:01.740 and this was posted

00:11:02.500 on our idiocracy.

00:11:03.420 So they thought

00:11:03.900 that like they had

00:11:04.680 owned the right with this.

00:11:06.460 So it's a guy saying,

00:11:08.060 feeling buyer's remorse

00:11:09.260 for MAGA?

00:11:09.940 Don't blame us, MAGA.

00:11:11.380 We tried to warn you, MAGA.

00:11:13.300 Hey,

00:11:14.020 every MAGA now.

00:11:15.200 And it's the guy

00:11:15.780 from office,

00:11:16.800 the office saying,

00:11:17.880 I really couldn't be happier.

00:11:19.780 And then under it,

00:11:21.140 somebody had reposted this,

00:11:22.760 which is,

00:11:22.940 in the history

00:11:23.440 of getting what I voted for,

00:11:24.860 I have never gotten

00:11:26.000 so much of exactly

00:11:27.140 what I voted for.

00:11:28.280 But seriously.

00:11:30.180 More than in the past,

00:11:31.800 more than I've gotten

00:11:32.680 in the past two weeks.

00:11:35.080 Yes, I voted for all of this.

00:11:36.900 Every tariff,

00:11:37.920 every deportation,

00:11:39.320 every crime bureaucrat,

00:11:41.000 every grant canceled,

00:11:42.540 all of it.

00:11:43.360 And Asmogold did a great piece

00:11:44.700 on this where he had that woman

00:11:45.680 who was running

00:11:46.240 all of this, right?

00:11:47.080 And he was like,

00:11:48.140 I am so glad

00:11:49.160 that you are sad about this

00:11:50.220 because she goes out there

00:11:51.100 and she's like,

00:11:51.540 oh, people don't understand.

00:11:53.200 They act like we're

00:11:54.460 woke extremists

00:11:55.600 and it's so sad

00:11:56.860 that people are losing

00:11:57.700 their jobs

00:11:58.280 because the general public

00:11:59.140 just doesn't understand

00:12:00.000 what we did.

00:12:01.160 And so I want to go

00:12:01.960 into what they did.

00:12:02.800 And I also want to go

00:12:03.480 into the counter arguments

00:12:04.300 to some of these,

00:12:04.860 but let's just broadly

00:12:05.660 go over the stats

00:12:06.940 that I was more able

00:12:08.100 to verify

00:12:08.800 and we'll get to the ones

00:12:09.740 where I think that

00:12:10.240 there is some question

00:12:11.060 in this, okay?

00:12:11.880 Okay.

00:12:13.400 The funds included

00:12:14.660 7.9 million

00:12:15.860 to teach Sri Lankan journalists

00:12:17.420 how to avoid

00:12:18.320 gender binary language.

00:12:20.600 Oh boy.

00:12:21.540 7.9 million.

00:12:22.560 Now I will note here

00:12:23.460 and we'll get into

00:12:24.140 this program more

00:12:24.880 because this is one

00:12:25.400 where I had some questions.

00:12:26.660 That was one thing

00:12:27.880 that a program did

00:12:28.800 that did a few things.

00:12:30.460 Okay.

00:12:31.340 Okay.

00:12:31.620 So it wasn't exactly that,

00:12:34.260 but we'll get into it.

00:12:35.000 It is still pretty bad.

00:12:36.520 2 million for sex changes

00:12:38.100 in LGBT activism

00:12:39.420 in Guatemala.

00:12:40.460 Fact check this,

00:12:41.200 couldn't find anything

00:12:41.840 saying that this wasn't

00:12:42.640 what they were doing,

00:12:43.620 but my guess is that

00:12:44.660 some of it at least

00:12:45.340 went to sex changes,

00:12:46.640 but rest of it

00:12:47.140 was probably to normalize stuff.

00:12:48.720 1.1 million

00:12:49.780 to an Armenian LGBT group,

00:12:52.000 1.5 million

00:12:53.020 to promote LGBT advocacy

00:12:54.480 in Jamaica.

00:12:55.200 Now, by the way,

00:12:56.120 do you think that Jamaica,

00:12:58.280 if you know,

00:12:58.780 like your average Jamaican,

00:13:00.240 that they like the US more

00:13:02.240 because we are paying

00:13:03.600 to support LGBT advocacy

00:13:05.000 in their country?

00:13:05.740 Do you think

00:13:06.440 your average Armenian

00:13:07.420 is more positively disposed

00:13:09.380 to the United States

00:13:10.080 because we're paying

00:13:10.720 to promote this religion

00:13:11.880 who is in their country?

00:13:13.420 No.

00:13:14.380 This is not helping

00:13:15.540 diplomacy-wise.

00:13:16.640 Yeah, this is like,

00:13:17.400 wait,

00:13:17.860 you are actively trying

00:13:18.900 to manipulate

00:13:19.640 and undermine my culture.

00:13:21.260 What are you doing?

00:13:22.460 Yeah, why do they not trust you

00:13:24.120 when then you come

00:13:24.760 with the shots for their kids

00:13:26.080 and you say,

00:13:26.620 trust me, this will help?

00:13:28.100 I wouldn't trust you

00:13:29.060 either, people.

00:13:30.080 We don't trust you

00:13:30.920 in the United States anymore.

00:13:32.980 Okay?

00:13:33.780 2 million to promote

00:13:35.060 LGBT equality

00:13:36.240 through entrepreneurship

00:13:37.220 in Latin America.

00:13:38.300 3.9 million

00:13:39.880 for LGBT causes

00:13:41.120 in the Western Balkans.

00:13:43.320 Again,

00:13:43.820 not a place that's likely

00:13:44.920 to be positively disposed

00:13:45.920 to this.

00:13:46.220 3.9 million.

00:13:47.780 5.5 million

00:13:48.900 for LGBT activism

00:13:49.940 in Uganda.

00:13:51.240 I guarantee you

00:13:52.120 the people of Uganda

00:13:53.000 are not happy about that.

00:13:54.480 You did not make any friends

00:13:55.560 by doing that.

00:13:56.740 6 million

00:13:57.560 for advancing LGBT issues

00:13:59.320 in priority countries

00:14:00.760 around the world

00:14:01.240 with 6.3 million

00:14:02.600 for men who have sex

00:14:03.740 with men in Africa.

00:14:04.960 I'm assuming that

00:14:05.680 that was probably

00:14:06.080 an AIDS organization there.

00:14:07.300 Yeah.

00:14:09.080 Apart from this,

00:14:10.300 25 million

00:14:11.760 to Deloitte,

00:14:13.520 so just like

00:14:14.160 accountant advisor

00:14:15.640 type people,

00:14:16.640 to promote

00:14:17.360 green transportation

00:14:18.460 in Georgia.

00:14:20.060 In Georgia.

00:14:21.500 Okay.

00:14:21.900 In Georgia.

00:14:22.680 6 million

00:14:23.580 to transform

00:14:24.560 digital spaces

00:14:25.360 to reflect

00:14:26.020 feminist democratic principles.

00:14:28.940 Feminist

00:14:29.820 democratic.

00:14:31.040 6 million

00:14:31.780 to transform

00:14:33.820 public spaces,

00:14:34.640 probably for art projects

00:14:35.860 is my guess here.

00:14:36.600 Oh.

00:14:37.800 In digital space.

00:14:38.660 Sorry,

00:14:38.880 digital spaces.

00:14:40.740 So this is what

00:14:41.880 we're going to like

00:14:42.600 feminist frequency type stuff.

00:14:44.460 Now,

00:14:44.560 feminist frequency,

00:14:45.280 there's been a misleading

00:14:45.980 picture going around.

00:14:46.980 They didn't get money

00:14:47.600 from the government.

00:14:48.180 They got money

00:14:48.500 from somebody else.

00:14:49.580 But yeah,

00:14:50.000 terrible,

00:14:50.440 terrible people,

00:14:51.020 feminist frequency.

00:14:51.920 1.3 million.

00:14:53.360 This one,

00:14:53.680 I actually don't,

00:14:54.300 oh yeah,

00:14:54.840 this is better.

00:14:55.520 To Arab

00:14:56.060 and Jewish photographers.

00:14:57.660 These are for like,

00:14:58.820 don't hate the Jews,

00:15:00.260 don't hate the Arabs campaigns.

00:15:01.840 You know,

00:15:02.140 those sorts of things.

00:15:02.760 Or it's probably

00:15:03.440 hate the Jews,

00:15:04.300 the Arabs are awesome campaigns.

00:15:05.620 You know how this always goes

00:15:07.200 with these people.

00:15:08.280 And 8.3 million

00:15:09.340 from USAID,

00:15:10.560 Education,

00:15:11.480 Equity,

00:15:11.920 and Inclusion.

00:15:13.000 They also funded

00:15:14.000 a 4.5 million

00:15:15.340 to combat

00:15:16.440 quote unquote

00:15:16.820 disinformation in Kazakhstan.

00:15:18.400 You know what that means,

00:15:19.120 fight conservative

00:15:19.900 value systems.

00:15:21.540 Hold on,

00:15:22.020 that's not all.

00:15:22.540 That's just what

00:15:23.000 the Trump administration

00:15:23.720 put out there.

00:15:24.440 And we're going to get into

00:15:25.140 like counters

00:15:25.780 to all of these.

00:15:26.960 14 million in cash vouchers

00:15:28.700 for migrants

00:15:29.260 at the southern border

00:15:30.080 through the state department.

00:15:30.880 That's one we're going

00:15:31.580 to double check.

00:15:32.080 Oh,

00:15:32.860 yeah,

00:15:33.140 we've heard a lot

00:15:34.060 about those

00:15:34.460 like leading up

00:15:35.060 to the election.

00:15:35.800 People were

00:15:36.340 alarmed about these

00:15:37.920 like debit cards

00:15:38.780 being given to people.

00:15:39.620 From USAID.

00:15:40.420 This is one of the ones

00:15:41.240 that gets forced

00:15:41.920 as you dig into it.

00:15:42.900 Okay.

00:15:44.000 3.2 million

00:15:44.960 to help Tunisian migrants

00:15:46.140 readjust to life

00:15:46.940 in Tunisia

00:15:47.400 under deportation.

00:15:48.900 Turns out

00:15:49.540 they were being sold

00:15:50.220 into slavery.

00:15:51.180 So that was fun.

00:15:52.220 You know,

00:15:52.540 not awesome.

00:15:53.440 You can tell

00:15:54.180 I've been watching

00:15:54.800 to too much Nuxinor today

00:15:56.140 where I'm doing

00:15:56.720 his voice accidentally.

00:15:58.320 He is my favorite

00:15:59.180 spectral Jew.

00:16:00.960 He got a little thing there.

00:16:03.360 All right.

00:16:03.980 So 2.5 million

00:16:05.620 to build

00:16:06.520 electric vehicle

00:16:07.320 charging stations

00:16:08.120 in Vietnam's

00:16:09.180 largest cities.

00:16:10.000 Now,

00:16:10.400 this is not stuff

00:16:11.260 that's endearing

00:16:11.800 these people to us.

00:16:12.600 This isn't building

00:16:13.320 infrastructure

00:16:13.820 that helps these countries.

00:16:15.040 This is about promoting

00:16:16.260 the woke religion

00:16:17.500 which sees like

00:16:18.160 environmentalism

00:16:19.000 and LGBTism

00:16:19.720 as like its core belief

00:16:21.600 even when it doesn't

00:16:22.420 make sense

00:16:22.880 or when it's not

00:16:23.580 practical within a region

00:16:24.620 or when there's no

00:16:25.260 cars there,

00:16:26.660 for example,

00:16:27.260 that run on these systems.

00:16:28.640 Around half a million dollars

00:16:29.840 to help Indonesian

00:16:30.720 coffee companies

00:16:31.460 become more climate

00:16:32.620 and gender friendly.

00:16:34.280 More gender friendly.

00:16:35.800 Coffee companies.

00:16:37.720 Yes,

00:16:38.020 coffee companies

00:16:38.660 in Indonesia.

00:16:40.780 Okay,

00:16:41.260 sorry,

00:16:41.600 good.

00:16:42.300 Yeah,

00:16:42.780 there are too many questions.

00:16:43.800 million to an organization

00:16:46.040 called Being LGBTQ

00:16:47.300 in the Caribbean.

00:16:49.140 1.5 million

00:16:50.400 to promote job opportunities

00:16:51.640 for LGBTQ individuals

00:16:53.100 in Serbia.

00:16:54.560 And keep in mind,

00:16:55.220 this is money

00:16:55.540 that could have been

00:16:56.100 saving lives

00:16:57.100 in the United States.

00:16:58.620 You know,

00:16:58.920 how many little kids died?

00:17:00.340 How many people

00:17:01.060 are still homeless

00:17:02.020 after floods

00:17:02.840 or fires

00:17:03.600 because we had

00:17:05.340 unelected officials

00:17:06.300 blowing this money

00:17:07.680 and now they're up

00:17:08.760 in arms about,

00:17:09.580 oh my God,

00:17:09.900 I lost my job

00:17:10.720 after this grift.

00:17:12.280 One of the listeners

00:17:14.020 of this podcast

00:17:14.720 pointed out to me,

00:17:16.940 just welcome

00:17:17.560 to the corporate world.

00:17:18.580 People are fired

00:17:19.400 in the corporate world

00:17:20.460 at any point

00:17:22.340 for any reason.

00:17:23.120 How could I be fired

00:17:24.060 for doing something

00:17:24.980 that angers

00:17:25.540 more than half

00:17:26.320 of the country?

00:17:27.080 Yeah,

00:17:27.420 whereas like,

00:17:28.080 you can make

00:17:29.040 one person angry

00:17:30.240 in the corporate world.

00:17:31.360 You can have

00:17:32.180 one bad,

00:17:33.240 you know,

00:17:33.840 mistake that you make

00:17:34.800 and you're gone

00:17:35.640 and these people

00:17:36.600 are shocked,

00:17:37.460 shocked.

00:17:38.120 And undermining

00:17:38.960 America's interests.

00:17:40.040 Your job

00:17:40.960 was to help

00:17:41.900 America's interests,

00:17:42.760 not undermine

00:17:43.460 America's interests.

00:17:44.520 If you are somebody

00:17:45.680 in the department

00:17:46.260 and you're like,

00:17:46.700 well,

00:17:46.880 my side of the department

00:17:47.840 wasn't doing this,

00:17:48.840 well,

00:17:49.220 surely you knew

00:17:50.380 that stuff like this

00:17:51.140 might be happening.

00:17:51.980 Why didn't you do

00:17:52.600 an investigation?

00:17:53.380 Why weren't you

00:17:53.900 the whistleblower?

00:17:54.880 Why did Musk

00:17:55.580 have to come in

00:17:56.200 and handle all of this?

00:17:57.280 And the heroism

00:17:58.520 of Musk and his teens,

00:18:00.340 the Musk tweens,

00:18:01.440 they went to these offices,

00:18:02.760 the guys at the front office

00:18:03.700 to say,

00:18:04.000 we're going to arrest you,

00:18:04.720 we're not going to let you

00:18:05.360 in the buildings.

00:18:06.220 And they got,

00:18:06.980 like the little kids,

00:18:07.820 the little kids,

00:18:08.480 Musk wasn't even there

00:18:09.440 in the state.

00:18:09.760 They're 20-year-olds,

00:18:10.500 come on.

00:18:10.960 They're not me in the building,

00:18:12.100 you a-holes.

00:18:12.920 If you saw our video,

00:18:13.760 these guys are like

00:18:14.540 super geniuses,

00:18:15.760 you know,

00:18:16.040 like deciphering scrolls

00:18:17.880 using like AI

00:18:18.700 that were like

00:18:19.340 Bert and Pompey.

00:18:20.640 Absolute super geniuses.

00:18:21.900 I feel so bad for them.

00:18:22.740 They're getting called murderers.

00:18:23.840 See our other video on this.

00:18:25.080 Yeah,

00:18:25.240 one actually resigned

00:18:26.540 after accusations

00:18:27.640 of historical social media posts

00:18:30.480 that were racist.

00:18:31.940 And JD Vance

00:18:32.580 is trying to say like,

00:18:33.720 no,

00:18:33.900 come back.

00:18:34.400 Like,

00:18:34.700 no,

00:18:35.180 you shouldn't be forced

00:18:36.000 to resign based on

00:18:36.980 dumb stuff you said.

00:18:38.200 that happened in the past.

00:18:39.020 Yeah,

00:18:39.160 I agree with this.

00:18:39.860 People change.

00:18:40.600 You know,

00:18:40.740 if he's not actively a racist,

00:18:42.680 whatever,

00:18:43.180 right?

00:18:43.460 Like,

00:18:44.100 how do you convince anyone

00:18:45.200 to ever not be a racist

00:18:46.340 if the moment they are

00:18:48.900 at any point a racist

00:18:49.940 for the next 50 years,

00:18:51.320 like Nick Bostrom

00:18:52.520 or whatever.

00:18:53.020 Oh,

00:18:53.160 and if you're trying

00:18:53.680 to fire a 20-year-old

00:18:54.720 for something they said

00:18:55.520 as a teen online,

00:18:56.820 that's,

00:18:57.220 I don't know.

00:18:57.440 Early teen,

00:18:58.320 yeah.

00:18:58.500 Yeah,

00:18:58.700 I feel like,

00:18:59.800 you should say edgy things.

00:19:01.060 There should be a social norm

00:19:02.220 where anything you post

00:19:03.460 before age 25 is just-

00:19:05.220 So these teens

00:19:06.080 are trying to get in the building

00:19:07.200 and they had to threaten

00:19:08.480 to bring in the marshals

00:19:10.280 because the guards

00:19:11.120 of the building

00:19:11.480 wouldn't let them in.

00:19:12.240 And then they get in the building,

00:19:13.320 everyone's being hostile to them,

00:19:14.700 basically spitting on them

00:19:15.600 everywhere they go,

00:19:16.320 basically bullying them.

00:19:17.760 They had to have guards

00:19:19.100 go in and force some people

00:19:20.440 to resign

00:19:20.940 because they were being

00:19:21.580 so mean to these little kids.

00:19:23.400 These little super geniuses

00:19:24.680 that you've seen

00:19:25.060 from other videos.

00:19:26.180 But I want to keep going here.

00:19:27.440 $16,500 to foster a,

00:19:30.520 quote,

00:19:30.820 united and equal

00:19:31.720 queer feminist discourse

00:19:33.080 in Albanian society.

00:19:35.020 Oh,

00:19:35.260 I'm sure that earned us

00:19:36.400 a lot of friends

00:19:37.040 in Albanian society.

00:19:38.760 Yeah.

00:19:39.240 $8,000 to promote DEI

00:19:41.500 among LGBT groups

00:19:42.700 in Cyprus.

00:19:43.800 Around half a million

00:19:44.900 to promote the expansion

00:19:46.260 of atheism in Nepal.

00:19:47.580 That's one we're going

00:19:48.120 to double click on

00:19:48.760 because that one

00:19:49.120 was effing insane.

00:19:50.460 Well,

00:19:50.680 yeah,

00:19:50.900 so this,

00:19:51.420 so many of these efforts

00:19:53.680 aren't just antagonistic

00:19:56.180 to the countries

00:19:57.560 being targeted,

00:19:58.460 but don't,

00:20:00.160 they're not representative

00:20:00.940 of the culture

00:20:02.000 of a huge swath

00:20:03.280 of Americans.

00:20:03.840 It's only representative

00:20:04.820 of the culture

00:20:05.560 of this long.

00:20:07.300 It's just really

00:20:08.020 screwed up though.

00:20:08.680 Like,

00:20:09.220 it'd be one thing

00:20:10.040 if we were like

00:20:11.020 a woke caliphate,

00:20:13.820 you know,

00:20:14.080 we're like,

00:20:14.420 we all agreed,

00:20:15.240 like this was all of us.

00:20:16.520 But they thought

00:20:17.280 we were a woke caliphate.

00:20:18.460 They thought everyone

00:20:19.000 who wasn't woke

00:20:19.840 is like a deserving underclass.

00:20:21.700 They are the deplorables.

00:20:22.980 They are the horrifying individuals.

00:20:25.560 Like the woman,

00:20:26.220 when she wrote the piece

00:20:27.040 on us yesterday,

00:20:27.760 she's like,

00:20:28.100 if you saw them,

00:20:29.220 you know,

00:20:29.480 they're skinny,

00:20:30.100 they're attractive,

00:20:30.840 they're educated.

00:20:31.900 You would never guess

00:20:32.900 that they're MAGA.

00:20:34.360 And it's like,

00:20:34.900 what do you mean

00:20:35.340 you never guess

00:20:36.180 that they're MAGA?

00:20:36.700 You mean we look

00:20:37.300 like normal people

00:20:38.120 and we don't have horns

00:20:38.920 growing out of our heads?

00:20:40.120 Like,

00:20:40.540 you clearly think of MAGA

00:20:42.240 as like inhuman

00:20:43.740 in your mind.

00:20:44.520 You are horrified

00:20:45.640 that somebody

00:20:46.080 who's educated

00:20:46.600 is like,

00:20:47.560 hey,

00:20:48.400 let's get to MAGA-ing.

00:20:50.160 But okay,

00:20:51.080 so 1 million

00:20:52.320 to boost

00:20:52.960 French-speaking LGBT groups

00:20:54.580 in West and Central Africa.

00:20:56.880 Again,

00:20:57.440 that's going to make

00:20:58.060 these places hate us

00:20:58.960 and that isn't

00:20:59.480 what your average American wants.

00:21:00.600 Like,

00:21:00.980 you cannot argue

00:21:01.860 this helps American interest

00:21:03.560 at all.

00:21:04.300 If you didn't want

00:21:05.200 to spread the cult,

00:21:06.200 your money shouldn't

00:21:06.960 have been going to this.

00:21:07.620 This organization

00:21:08.080 needs to be shut down.

00:21:09.120 As Matt said,

00:21:09.980 it's not an apple

00:21:10.700 with a worm in it,

00:21:11.360 it's a ball of worms.

00:21:12.480 Yeah.

00:21:12.800 All right,

00:21:13.180 let's double click

00:21:14.000 on some of these

00:21:14.480 because I thought

00:21:14.820 they were interesting here.

00:21:15.700 Okay.

00:21:16.140 Yes.

00:21:17.280 So the $47,000

00:21:19.360 for the transgender opera

00:21:21.280 in Columbia

00:21:22.060 because this is one

00:21:22.760 that's been going around a lot.

00:21:24.460 Was it good?

00:21:25.560 Or was it,

00:21:26.980 wait,

00:21:27.400 what was like the review

00:21:28.380 in the IT crowd?

00:21:30.060 Like,

00:21:30.200 so it was an opera

00:21:31.200 about a trans person

00:21:32.980 living in like rural New York's

00:21:35.180 like life.

00:21:35.880 It was done three times,

00:21:38.060 was in an opera house.

00:21:39.000 It's not like they built

00:21:39.560 an opera house or anything,

00:21:40.340 but not that you could

00:21:40.840 for $47,000.

00:21:42.320 And it turns out

00:21:43.380 that less of the money

00:21:44.060 than we thought went to it,

00:21:44.860 $25,000 that went to it

00:21:46.980 was from USAID.

00:21:48.160 $22,000 that went to it

00:21:50.320 was not funded

00:21:51.120 by the federal government,

00:21:52.220 but was funded

00:21:52.760 by the nonpartisan,

00:21:54.220 well,

00:21:54.440 not nonpartisan,

00:21:55.360 obviously,

00:21:56.180 Albertan Journalism Institute.

00:21:58.660 And what it was,

00:21:59.980 quote unquote,

00:22:00.340 really going to

00:22:01.220 was funding the department

00:22:02.680 that then ended up

00:22:04.400 hosting this stuff.

00:22:05.900 When they gave the money

00:22:06.620 to the department,

00:22:07.520 they said that

00:22:08.680 they're giving the money

00:22:09.760 to, quote,

00:22:10.340 expand and strengthen

00:22:11.280 the relationship

00:22:11.940 between the people

00:22:12.980 and the government

00:22:13.480 of the United States

00:22:14.300 and the citizens

00:22:14.980 of the rest of the world.

00:22:16.260 So basically,

00:22:17.000 they just gave them

00:22:17.660 a blank check

00:22:18.160 to do whatever they want.

00:22:19.220 They knew these people

00:22:19.760 were woke.

00:22:20.260 They did woke shit.

00:22:21.480 So people are like,

00:22:22.740 oh, this isn't as bad.

00:22:23.580 Well, that's pretty bad

00:22:24.420 because that's a blank check

00:22:26.160 if I've ever heard of one.

00:22:27.460 And they knew

00:22:28.400 from the past behavior

00:22:30.000 of this department

00:22:30.680 what the department

00:22:31.360 was going to do,

00:22:32.100 which was host trans operas.

00:22:34.500 Yeah, no one goes

00:22:35.960 to the opera anymore either.

00:22:37.160 Like, you're not going

00:22:37.600 to change minds

00:22:38.580 with the opera.

00:22:40.020 I'm going to go, no.

00:22:40.860 And now I'm just picturing

00:22:42.140 the, was it South Park

00:22:43.360 where it was like AIDS,

00:22:44.520 AIDS, AIDS.

00:22:45.920 Yeah.

00:22:46.180 Everybody has AIDS.

00:22:47.320 That's not South Park.

00:22:48.220 You're thinking of

00:22:48.600 Team America World Bill League.

00:22:49.520 Team America, that's it.

00:22:51.320 And so this is the end

00:22:52.700 of our story.

00:22:54.480 And everyone is dead

00:22:55.800 from AIDS.

00:22:57.600 It took from me

00:22:58.660 my best friend,

00:23:00.660 my only true pal,

00:23:03.200 my only bright star.

00:23:05.200 Who died of AIDS?

00:23:06.400 Well, I'm going to march

00:23:07.680 on Washington,

00:23:09.220 lead the fight

00:23:10.220 and charge the brigades.

00:23:12.360 There's a hero

00:23:13.320 inside of all of us.

00:23:15.220 I'll make them see

00:23:16.280 everyone has AIDS.

00:23:17.980 AIDS, AIDS.

00:23:18.720 The Pope has got it

00:23:19.460 and so do you.

00:23:20.600 AIDS, AIDS, AIDS.

00:23:21.260 Come on, everybody,

00:23:22.440 we got quilting to do.

00:23:23.620 AIDS, AIDS, AIDS.

00:23:24.120 We're going to break down

00:23:25.160 these barricades.

00:23:26.280 Everyone has AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS.

00:23:30.060 Oh, yes.

00:23:31.080 They're basically hosting

00:23:32.140 those all over,

00:23:32.660 but they did do some,

00:23:34.780 yeah, here's some

00:23:35.240 small money donations

00:23:36.100 that got people freaked out,

00:23:37.160 but I still think

00:23:38.020 this could have gone to save lives.

00:23:39.380 Why are you spending this

00:23:40.540 in other countries

00:23:41.000 to make people hate us?

00:23:41.840 Yeah, I mean,

00:23:42.140 anyone who's remotely familiar

00:23:44.120 with the EA community

00:23:44.960 knows that a very small dollar amount

00:23:47.240 can save a significant number of lives

00:23:49.540 through anti-malarial nets,

00:23:52.640 things like that.

00:23:53.620 Yeah.

00:23:54.140 So $32,000,

00:23:55.660 well, anti-malarial nets

00:23:56.860 all ended up clogging the streams

00:23:58.380 because people didn't use them to fish

00:23:59.660 and they turned out to be

00:24:00.540 mostly a net negative.

00:24:01.640 It looks like they were

00:24:02.300 in the communities overall.

00:24:03.240 A lot of people refused to believe this

00:24:04.360 because they are still bought

00:24:05.720 into the EA religion,

00:24:06.900 but from my understanding

00:24:08.720 that on the net now,

00:24:10.160 malarial nets were a net negative

00:24:12.260 in the communities

00:24:12.840 that they were handed on it.

00:24:14.160 Sorry.

00:24:15.040 Didn't think it through.

00:24:16.480 But anyway,

00:24:17.400 $32,000 for a transgender comic book

00:24:19.940 in Peru.

00:24:20.980 A lot of people,

00:24:21.540 that one appears to be legit

00:24:22.760 with a comic book promoting

00:24:23.960 trans ideology.

00:24:25.300 $20.6,000 for a drag show

00:24:27.520 in Ecuador.

00:24:28.280 That seems about what a drag show

00:24:30.300 would cost to put on.

00:24:31.440 No, no, no, wait.

00:24:31.960 Just one?

00:24:32.600 Just one?

00:24:33.400 No, I think it was a series

00:24:34.160 of drag shows in Ecuador.

00:24:35.700 I don't know.

00:24:36.340 I mean, like,

00:24:36.800 I imagine that,

00:24:38.280 like, the drag brunches

00:24:39.260 that we've gone to,

00:24:40.280 I think they just run

00:24:41.540 totally on tips.

00:24:43.400 Yeah, so,

00:24:44.180 but I mean,

00:24:44.560 this is different

00:24:45.160 because in Ecuador,

00:24:46.240 maybe they don't want them

00:24:47.260 doing this as much.

00:24:48.580 So we got $80,000

00:24:49.920 for LGBT community center

00:24:51.900 in Václava, Slovakia.

00:24:55.080 Oh, so they get a building

00:24:56.140 out of this.

00:24:56.660 That's great.

00:24:57.640 And now everyone's gonna know

00:24:58.660 that it's not gonna earn us friends.

00:25:00.360 What are you doing, people?

00:25:02.320 You don't get to promote

00:25:03.600 your religion

00:25:04.360 as if it's the state religion.

00:25:06.580 This is horrifying.

00:25:08.240 It makes people hate us.

00:25:10.720 Okay, next.

00:25:12.160 And here we've got

00:25:13.340 the BBC media action thing.

00:25:15.040 So this is what I want

00:25:15.660 to talk about here

00:25:16.180 because I think that this one

00:25:17.220 has been both oversold

00:25:19.320 and undersold in some way.

00:25:20.580 So a lot of people are acting

00:25:21.320 like we gave money to the BBC.

00:25:22.560 We didn't give money to the BBC.

00:25:23.560 We gave money to a non-profit

00:25:25.580 that was started by the BBC.

00:25:27.040 And we gave them so much money,

00:25:29.920 it represented 8% of their budget.

00:25:32.020 It's like the BBC's

00:25:33.000 core non-profit arm.

00:25:34.620 So what they do is

00:25:36.760 they train journalists

00:25:37.960 in other countries

00:25:39.140 on how to,

00:25:40.140 and the BBC like freaked out about this.

00:25:41.820 They're like,

00:25:42.060 oh my God,

00:25:42.560 this temporary halt in our funding

00:25:44.280 is catastrophic for us

00:25:46.120 and free media.

00:25:47.060 And I'm like,

00:25:47.540 okay, first of all,

00:25:48.300 not temporary.

00:25:50.260 This is not gonna be temporary.

00:25:52.700 The dumbest thing

00:25:54.560 the leftists could do right now

00:25:55.720 is forcibly through the courts

00:25:57.500 reinstate all of this.

00:25:59.060 America is gonna freak out

00:26:01.360 if you do that.

00:26:02.700 But okay,

00:26:03.460 BBC,

00:26:03.980 which by the way,

00:26:04.400 someone like a Gestapo,

00:26:05.340 they'll go to George,

00:26:06.020 do you have a Netflix subscription?

00:26:07.180 Then you've got to pay us.

00:26:08.420 They don't like,

00:26:09.220 I remember-

00:26:09.820 I was under the impression

00:26:10.920 that they are already

00:26:11.900 forcibly extracting funds

00:26:13.340 from British citizens.

00:26:14.420 I don't think they need-

00:26:15.260 To make Doctor Who gayer.

00:26:17.500 And again,

00:26:18.260 I don't have problems

00:26:19.820 with like whatever gayness used to be.

00:26:22.280 Like I don't have problems

00:26:23.040 with like normal gays.

00:26:23.940 When I say make Doctor Who gayer,

00:26:26.060 I mean like whatever the hell this is.

00:26:37.500 And I'm all for like

00:26:39.940 gay and trans coded villains.

00:26:42.160 Whether we're talking about Ursula

00:26:43.840 or Jaffa

00:26:44.980 or anything else here.

00:26:47.160 I just don't want the thing

00:26:48.620 that's threatening about them

00:26:50.080 to be the fact that

00:26:51.460 they come off

00:26:52.280 like they constantly

00:26:53.180 want to grape a child.

00:26:54.580 Well, like the poverty

00:26:55.560 in Agrabah is super bad.

00:26:57.180 I run into starving children

00:26:58.360 practically every day.

00:26:59.620 Kids are getting their hands

00:27:00.580 chopped off.

00:27:01.260 Women are bought and sold.

00:27:02.380 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:02.800 Get rid of poverty

00:27:03.560 and establish world peace

00:27:04.980 and social equality.

00:27:05.960 Anything else?

00:27:06.420 No, no, no.

00:27:07.000 Wait, wait.

00:27:07.440 Hold on.

00:27:07.800 I'm just, uh,

00:27:08.380 I'm just thinking out loud.

00:27:09.800 I want you to disguise me

00:27:10.900 as a prince

00:27:11.400 so I can trick the princess

00:27:12.360 into sucking my dick.

00:27:14.000 Ah, well, I've got some rules.

00:27:16.440 I can't make people fall in love.

00:27:18.040 No, no, no love.

00:27:19.220 I just want to lie

00:27:19.980 as much as possible

00:27:20.760 to convince her to sleep with me.

00:27:22.020 I think she's like crazy shallow

00:27:23.560 and won't give a shit

00:27:24.380 unless I'm marching into the city

00:27:25.500 surrounded by jewels and slaves.

00:27:27.180 Like the modern Doctor Who.

00:27:27.940 Doctor Who used to be awesome.

00:27:29.240 I really like Doctor Who.

00:27:30.260 Like, how did you ruin it

00:27:31.840 so entirely?

00:27:33.480 Yeah, I think we're extra angry

00:27:34.760 about it because we liked it

00:27:36.220 and it was great.

00:27:37.340 Well, yeah, if they come on

00:27:38.400 and it's like somebody

00:27:39.240 you're like, oh, you know,

00:27:40.100 we messed up their Star Wars.

00:27:41.800 We messed up their Doctor Who.

00:27:43.000 Like, why are they so angry about that?

00:27:45.120 It's because you guys

00:27:45.860 didn't care about this stuff.

00:27:47.400 You didn't like this stuff.

00:27:48.280 It's like you bought

00:27:48.840 our childhood home

00:27:49.740 and then like wrote

00:27:51.200 like we hate you

00:27:52.540 and shit all over it.

00:27:53.760 Like, obviously people

00:27:55.280 are going to take that personally.

00:27:56.980 When you destroy the games

00:27:58.580 that we like playing,

00:27:59.500 when you destroy the studios

00:28:00.500 that made the games

00:28:01.280 we like playing,

00:28:02.000 when you destroy the properties

00:28:04.080 that the nerds liked

00:28:05.200 because the nerds,

00:28:06.160 it turns out,

00:28:07.460 were not as much on your side

00:28:08.720 as you thought they were

00:28:09.680 when you write your name

00:28:11.600 and shit all over everything

00:28:12.880 they care about.

00:28:14.000 Which, you know,

00:28:14.420 what was Star Wars Acolyte,

00:28:15.440 for example.

00:28:16.220 But the point here being

00:28:17.400 is this organization

00:28:18.700 basically does like,

00:28:20.860 remember how I was talking

00:28:21.540 about that like non-binary outreach

00:28:23.080 in like Sri Lanka

00:28:23.740 and stuff like that?

00:28:24.580 They run programs like that

00:28:25.860 all over the world

00:28:26.720 trying to woke-ify journalists.

00:28:29.260 That's the gist of what they do

00:28:30.980 and they're acting like

00:28:31.780 they support local journalists.

00:28:33.060 No, no, no.

00:28:34.020 They do a little of that

00:28:35.160 but the core idea

00:28:36.060 is to support woke journalism

00:28:37.920 in the developing world

00:28:40.260 and around the world

00:28:40.940 and it is not something

00:28:42.740 that I think a lot of people

00:28:43.740 are even actually watching.

00:28:45.320 I mean, we'll get to how few people

00:28:46.460 some of these like millions,

00:28:47.480 millions programs

00:28:48.180 actually reached

00:28:49.080 and it's like not a lot of people.

00:28:50.760 So another one

00:28:51.860 that I thought was really interesting,

00:28:53.020 talk about something

00:28:53.500 we don't care about

00:28:54.060 is menstrual hygiene.

00:28:57.600 So teaching girls in India,

00:28:59.700 they spent, I think,

00:29:00.420 seven million on this

00:29:01.500 about menstrual hygiene

00:29:05.520 which is like why

00:29:07.580 like every woman

00:29:10.240 they've been around

00:29:10.920 has dealt with menstruation.

00:29:13.320 Well, so their argument here

00:29:14.760 to stay on them

00:29:16.280 is that they,

00:29:18.520 in India,

00:29:19.000 there's a lot of stigma

00:29:19.680 to like talking about this

00:29:20.920 which I'm like,

00:29:22.240 okay, that means that

00:29:23.620 their culture

00:29:24.260 has a resistance to this.

00:29:26.840 If you're out

00:29:27.440 denying or imposing,

00:29:30.660 I mean, what this is

00:29:31.260 cultural imperialism?

00:29:32.280 This entire thing

00:29:32.960 is just a program

00:29:33.800 of systemic cultural imperialism.

00:29:36.360 Denying their cultural preferences,

00:29:38.340 of course you're going

00:29:39.140 to anger them, right?

00:29:40.380 You're like,

00:29:40.760 oh, but it's for the good

00:29:41.620 of the women.

00:29:42.460 Do the women feel that way?

00:29:44.080 Like the studies

00:29:45.520 that have gone

00:29:46.020 to try to look

00:29:46.660 if USAID

00:29:47.360 like actually increases

00:29:48.220 opinions within regions

00:29:49.180 have not shown

00:29:49.840 that they do

00:29:50.380 in overwhelming number.

00:29:51.660 That does not appear

00:29:52.280 that they are,

00:29:53.300 which of course they don't.

00:29:54.160 They're just ignoring the culture.

00:29:55.260 What is the stigma

00:29:55.820 other than that, right?

00:29:56.960 Now, another one

00:29:57.660 that I thought

00:29:57.940 was pretty interesting

00:29:58.540 was nine million dollars

00:30:00.560 that went to terrorists

00:30:01.300 and Al-Qaeda organization

00:30:02.840 and I was like,

00:30:03.440 wait, what?

00:30:03.920 Wait, intentionally

00:30:05.300 or by mistake?

00:30:06.420 Not intentionally.

00:30:07.160 Let's talk about this one.

00:30:08.360 Okay.

00:30:09.800 Is this like the condoms

00:30:11.060 that were given to people in Gaza

00:30:13.720 and then they were used for bombs?

00:30:15.160 Something like that?

00:30:16.060 So, this case involves

00:30:17.820 a Syrian national

00:30:18.780 named Mohamed El-Hafayn.

00:30:22.640 Mohamed.

00:30:23.220 It doesn't appear Mohamed.

00:30:24.540 Mohamed.

00:30:25.060 I haven't seen this one here.

00:30:26.120 Who was charged

00:30:27.320 with diverting

00:30:28.040 over nine million dollars

00:30:29.120 in U.S.-funded humanitarian aid

00:30:30.640 intended for Syrian civilians.

00:30:32.440 El-Hafayn,

00:30:33.660 who handed

00:30:34.400 a non-government organization

00:30:36.140 NGO in Syria,

00:30:37.240 allegedly directed

00:30:38.140 food kits

00:30:38.720 valued at millions of dollars

00:30:40.200 to commanders

00:30:41.200 leading Al-Nashura Front,

00:30:43.440 A in F,

00:30:44.120 a designated

00:30:45.360 foreign terrorist organization

00:30:46.840 affiliated with Al-Qaeda

00:30:47.920 in Iraq.

00:30:49.000 The food kits

00:30:49.560 were meant

00:30:50.540 for conflict-affected

00:30:51.380 Syrian refugees,

00:30:52.960 but El-Hafayn

00:30:54.100 reportedly sold them

00:30:55.460 on the black market

00:30:56.180 to A&F commanders

00:30:57.260 for his personal benefit.

00:30:58.820 The case is considered

00:30:59.720 one of the most

00:31:00.280 significant diversions

00:31:01.060 of U.S.A. aid,

00:31:03.000 diverted humanitarian aid.

00:31:05.060 But, but,

00:31:05.840 how did this happen?

00:31:08.280 Like,

00:31:08.980 I think a lot of people

00:31:10.500 they're like,

00:31:10.920 oh, they're Muslims,

00:31:11.660 we don't need to oversight this.

00:31:12.980 Like,

00:31:13.120 this should have been caught

00:31:14.480 way earlier.

00:31:16.200 This is horrifying

00:31:17.760 that this went on

00:31:19.020 for as long as it did

00:31:19.940 because there just is

00:31:20.700 not a lot of oversight

00:31:21.600 in these departments.

00:31:22.780 And, and you see this

00:31:23.720 with the hatred

00:31:24.500 that these programs

00:31:25.260 get in other countries,

00:31:26.300 right?

00:31:26.900 If you are a Chinese

00:31:28.460 organization or something

00:31:29.640 and you're implementing

00:31:30.280 something like this,

00:31:30.940 the first thing you would check

00:31:31.780 is,

00:31:32.600 do people hate us

00:31:33.460 for doing this?

00:31:34.160 Is this being sold

00:31:35.120 on the black market?

00:31:35.960 Is this,

00:31:36.820 you know,

00:31:37.180 and they have

00:31:37.940 nobody coming in afterwards

00:31:39.600 checking on this.

00:31:40.380 it's basically just

00:31:42.060 like the money

00:31:42.740 like machine

00:31:44.480 for them

00:31:45.120 because to them

00:31:46.480 they are doing aid

00:31:48.300 or good

00:31:48.900 even though it's

00:31:49.420 somebody else's money.

00:31:50.560 They have no concept

00:31:51.620 of that

00:31:51.960 as we saw

00:31:52.420 in that initial piece.

00:31:53.660 Well,

00:31:53.740 I think it's viewed

00:31:54.240 from a very academic standpoint.

00:31:56.020 Like,

00:31:56.220 it doesn't really matter

00:31:57.000 if it fails

00:31:57.840 because they've learned

00:31:59.320 something

00:31:59.700 and at least they tried

00:32:01.000 and they're trying

00:32:02.700 to do the right thing

00:32:03.660 and I don't think,

00:32:04.740 I think there's

00:32:05.180 a large disconnect.

00:32:07.220 I think there's

00:32:08.540 a total disconnect

00:32:09.140 in what happened.

00:32:10.340 One of the Saudi leaders,

00:32:11.720 because,

00:32:11.860 you know,

00:32:11.960 Trump made all of these headways

00:32:13.020 in creating peace

00:32:14.240 in the Middle East

00:32:14.680 with the last administration.

00:32:15.660 I think he's going to

00:32:16.060 cinch the deal this time.

00:32:17.020 I think we're already

00:32:17.460 seeing great things.

00:32:18.740 Very looking forward

00:32:19.540 to the Riviera Gaza.

00:32:20.740 Watch our episode on that.

00:32:21.680 That's a joke,

00:32:22.100 by the way.

00:32:22.480 I don't think he actually

00:32:23.060 wants to do that.

00:32:23.920 It's a negotiating tactic.

00:32:24.960 But anyway,

00:32:25.260 Saudi Arabia,

00:32:27.080 one of the leaders there,

00:32:28.480 this is after Trump

00:32:29.240 was in power,

00:32:29.700 so he's not like

00:32:30.300 buttering up Trump.

00:32:30.860 He's like,

00:32:31.460 you know,

00:32:31.880 the Trump team did two

00:32:33.020 really interesting things

00:32:33.960 in negotiations,

00:32:34.540 which allowed us

00:32:35.140 to make all the progress

00:32:35.780 we made.

00:32:36.420 This was like a piece

00:32:37.300 of the Middle East negotiations.

00:32:38.540 He's like,

00:32:38.880 first,

00:32:39.240 like Trump was actually involved.

00:32:41.040 So like we knew

00:32:41.800 that we were dealing

00:32:42.520 with somebody

00:32:42.820 who had decision-making powers.

00:32:44.320 And when Trump went to them,

00:32:46.080 the first thing he asked us,

00:32:47.520 he said it was a question

00:32:48.080 no one had ever asked us before.

00:32:49.320 It was,

00:32:49.980 what do you guys need

00:32:51.000 to make this deal happen?

00:32:52.740 What do you care about?

00:32:54.200 No one had ever asked us before.

00:32:55.580 Because these government bureaucrats,

00:32:57.540 they have no experience

00:32:58.520 making deals

00:32:59.140 or thinking about this

00:32:59.860 from the perspective

00:33:00.320 of the average citizen.

00:33:01.600 Apparently,

00:33:02.140 he said what they had

00:33:02.900 always done before

00:33:03.700 is the academics

00:33:05.360 would decide

00:33:06.420 what should be

00:33:07.180 the right solution.

00:33:08.380 They would then go

00:33:08.860 to the Saudis

00:33:09.400 and say,

00:33:09.760 how much money

00:33:10.300 do we need to give you

00:33:11.000 to make this happen?

00:33:12.020 And of course,

00:33:12.540 nothing ever happened.

00:33:13.960 This is why,

00:33:14.720 and when we talk about

00:33:15.740 like peace not happening

00:33:16.800 in the Middle East,

00:33:17.200 we're talking about

00:33:17.680 people dying,

00:33:18.740 being great to death,

00:33:19.800 horrifying,

00:33:20.420 horrifying stuff.

00:33:21.640 There is a cost

00:33:22.980 to the incalcitrance

00:33:24.280 of these bureaucrats.

00:33:25.320 People are dying

00:33:26.320 because of their actions

00:33:28.560 as many people

00:33:30.140 as they're saving easily.

00:33:31.140 because they are not

00:33:32.980 solving real problems

00:33:34.220 where this should be

00:33:35.300 handled by other departments.

00:33:37.340 That's core goal

00:33:38.280 is either building,

00:33:40.680 you know,

00:33:41.580 I think U.S.

00:33:43.120 positive relations

00:33:43.900 in these regions

00:33:44.640 or, you know,

00:33:46.700 advancing the U.S.'s interest

00:33:49.600 in these regions.

00:33:50.800 Or, I mean,

00:33:51.080 that's the reason

00:33:51.620 why we're giving that view.

00:33:52.300 I'm not against

00:33:52.940 when people are like,

00:33:53.540 oh, you're against

00:33:54.180 like the AIDS medication

00:33:54.940 for Africans.

00:33:55.600 I'm not against that.

00:33:56.580 I'm against money

00:33:57.060 being stolen to pay for that.

00:33:58.520 If you want to pay for that,

00:33:59.980 donate to it yourself.

00:34:01.240 What exactly

00:34:01.960 did you teach my daughter?

00:34:03.480 Oh, you must be

00:34:04.060 Mrs. Berkus.

00:34:05.140 Lauren was supposed

00:34:05.740 to do a paper

00:34:06.440 on why government matters.

00:34:08.300 This is what she wrote.

00:34:11.160 It doesn't.

00:34:13.260 Well said.

00:34:14.420 Is this a joke?

00:34:15.400 No, ma'am.

00:34:16.060 I legitimately believe that.

00:34:17.480 And I'm against,

00:34:18.540 especially if you're

00:34:19.600 less effective

00:34:20.300 at administering it,

00:34:21.780 then I'm also against it.

00:34:23.840 Like, for some people,

00:34:25.100 you know,

00:34:25.300 you can buy something

00:34:26.460 for $5

00:34:27.180 and get $4.85

00:34:29.000 worth of value.

00:34:30.300 The problem is that

00:34:31.400 USAID was buying something

00:34:32.900 for $5

00:34:33.380 and getting $0.03

00:34:34.640 worth of value.

00:34:36.000 And that's where I really-

00:34:37.060 Yeah, this could have been

00:34:37.680 handled better

00:34:38.320 by independent organizations.

00:34:40.780 And so for everyone

00:34:41.580 who's like,

00:34:41.900 complains,

00:34:42.360 like, do you want

00:34:43.120 these kids to die?

00:34:43.980 It's like,

00:34:44.600 are you donating

00:34:45.620 to save these kids now?

00:34:46.800 No?

00:34:47.280 Then shut the fuck up.

00:34:49.680 To be honest.

00:34:51.480 Because clearly

00:34:52.420 you don't care enough

00:34:53.300 to make the sacrifice yourself.

00:34:54.540 You care enough

00:34:54.900 to force other people

00:34:55.740 to sacrifice for it.

00:34:57.020 But to keep going here,

00:34:58.280 I want to talk about

00:34:59.600 something that a lot

00:35:00.120 of people have mentioned,

00:35:00.740 which is the $5 million

00:35:01.640 that went to the Eco Alliance,

00:35:03.420 an NGO linked

00:35:04.640 to the bat virus research

00:35:06.100 at the Wuhan lab.

00:35:07.280 So this is one

00:35:07.900 that turned out

00:35:08.460 like it looked not bad

00:35:10.040 and then it was worse

00:35:10.800 than I thought it was.

00:35:11.560 Oh my gosh.

00:35:13.200 So the U.S. Agency

00:35:13.960 for International Development,

00:35:15.240 USAID,

00:35:15.860 awarded $5.6 million grant

00:35:17.720 to Eco Health Alliance

00:35:19.180 in 2021.

00:35:20.260 This grant was

00:35:20.940 for implementing

00:35:21.500 the Conservation Works

00:35:22.660 activity

00:35:23.000 in Southwestern Liberia

00:35:24.740 focused on improving

00:35:25.920 farming practices

00:35:26.680 and sustainable opportunities.

00:35:27.960 So I'm like,

00:35:28.380 okay,

00:35:28.560 but why is this so bad?

00:35:30.000 However,

00:35:30.560 the award has been controversial

00:35:31.700 due to Eco Health's

00:35:32.760 previous work

00:35:33.420 with the Wuhan Institute

00:35:34.500 of Virology

00:35:35.280 and its leader,

00:35:36.700 oh,

00:35:37.060 who ran this?

00:35:39.840 Peter

00:35:40.380 Dazivak.

00:35:43.200 So people who forget

00:35:45.060 who this is,

00:35:46.320 he's the guy

00:35:47.160 who it turned out

00:35:47.900 was funding

00:35:48.520 the Wuhan lab

00:35:50.060 and then was the guy

00:35:51.760 who told everyone

00:35:52.800 that this is a conspiracy,

00:35:55.320 that it came from a lab

00:35:56.380 and started all of the policies

00:35:58.040 to crack down

00:35:58.820 on anybody talking

00:35:59.620 about it being a conspiracy

00:36:00.520 that it came from a lab

00:36:01.440 and what wasn't disclosed

00:36:03.220 is that the core source

00:36:04.680 that the U.S. government

00:36:05.780 was using for all of this

00:36:06.940 was also the guy

00:36:07.980 who had funded it all.

00:36:09.320 So of course he did that

00:36:10.520 and so then he continued

00:36:11.360 to use U.S. taxpayer money

00:36:12.740 to lie to the U.S. taxpayers

00:36:15.100 when he caused

00:36:16.580 one of the world's

00:36:17.880 greatest tragedies,

00:36:19.120 like this guy

00:36:19.860 is like personally responsible

00:36:21.360 for COVID in a big way

00:36:22.520 and then used U.S. taxpayer money

00:36:24.720 to try to hide that.

00:36:26.080 He should never be getting

00:36:26.960 any money

00:36:27.560 from the U.S. government again

00:36:28.820 and yet here he is

00:36:29.720 getting $4.5 million

00:36:30.900 after the fact.

00:36:32.480 And we note here

00:36:34.020 that $1.1 million

00:36:35.460 between 2009 and 2019

00:36:36.940 from USAID

00:36:37.940 through the PREDICT project

00:36:39.500 did go to the Wuhan lab

00:36:42.260 and the work he was doing there.

00:36:43.880 Okay, so bad.

00:36:47.420 The guy who created COVID

00:36:48.520 is living off of your tax dollars.

00:36:51.080 Have fun, America.

00:36:52.060 That's an incredibly bad look.

00:36:53.640 Oh, wow.

00:36:54.800 Millions of dollars

00:36:55.600 of your tax dollars, by the way.

00:36:57.380 And keep in mind,

00:36:58.660 like I'd actually be okay

00:37:00.280 if he's like,

00:37:00.920 look, we messed up

00:37:01.780 with this gain-of-function research.

00:37:03.540 Like I'd still be like,

00:37:04.440 what you did was super bad,

00:37:06.380 but at least when you recognized

00:37:08.100 it came from the lab

00:37:09.060 you were funding,

00:37:09.740 you admitted it.

00:37:10.720 But no,

00:37:11.520 you had people deplatformed.

00:37:13.140 You had their careers destroyed

00:37:14.960 for pointing out

00:37:16.160 that you had done this.

00:37:18.880 That is completely unforgivable

00:37:20.780 once you recognized

00:37:22.000 that it was your fault.

00:37:23.240 It is time for

00:37:23.960 the Mad Scientist Society's

00:37:25.860 annual Most Evil Invention

00:37:28.520 in the World contest.

00:37:30.600 Here, here, here.

00:37:31.820 The Most Evil Invention

00:37:34.520 in the World

00:37:35.160 is my shrink ray.

00:37:37.040 Ooh.

00:37:38.620 My entry for World's

00:37:40.300 Most Evil Invention

00:37:41.280 is the freeze ray.

00:37:43.200 Oh.

00:37:44.440 Okay, who is next?

00:37:47.220 Yep.

00:37:47.720 Hey.

00:37:50.560 Hi, guys.

00:37:51.560 Uh, I'm, um,

00:37:53.300 my name is...

00:37:54.340 Peter Dasvack.

00:37:55.260 And, uh,

00:37:55.980 I, um,

00:37:57.840 and for the most evil invention

00:37:59.540 in the world contest,

00:38:00.820 I invented a, uh, uh...

00:38:02.500 Deadly virus

00:38:03.400 that you probably know

00:38:04.480 as COVID.

00:38:07.460 I beg your pardon, what?

00:38:09.720 Um,

00:38:10.880 oh, I'm sorry,

00:38:11.540 I'll speak up.

00:38:12.780 Uh...

00:38:13.260 So I directed

00:38:14.020 taxpayer money

00:38:15.020 to the Wuhan COVID

00:38:16.200 gain-of-function lab

00:38:17.300 where they make

00:38:17.820 the COVID virus

00:38:19.020 both more virulent

00:38:20.040 and more deadly.

00:38:21.360 And then when people

00:38:22.040 started to suspect

00:38:22.860 that COVID may have

00:38:23.760 come from a lab leak,

00:38:24.780 I got anybody

00:38:25.540 who claimed this,

00:38:27.080 using taxpayer money,

00:38:28.200 of course,

00:38:28.860 uh, fired and removed

00:38:30.080 from their jobs

00:38:30.940 and attempted

00:38:31.380 to ruin their lives.

00:38:32.680 Um...

00:38:33.680 So, uh,

00:38:35.380 do I win the contest?

00:38:36.440 I think that...

00:38:37.320 I win?

00:38:38.560 It seems like I win.

00:38:39.500 Oh, my God.

00:38:40.840 My most evil idea

00:38:42.020 was a blizzard in July.

00:38:44.960 Right.

00:38:45.640 Well, I went

00:38:46.580 in a slightly different

00:38:47.720 direction with the assignment.

00:38:50.000 You bit...

00:38:50.380 A deadly pandemic.

00:38:51.580 Yes, yes, yes.

00:38:53.900 That's exactly right.

00:38:55.540 This guy gets it.

00:38:56.600 You get it.

00:38:57.140 Oh, my God.

00:38:57.840 No, I don't.

00:38:58.560 How...

00:38:59.240 How do you even build

00:39:01.660 a...

00:39:01.820 Deadlier,

00:39:02.540 more virulent virus?

00:39:04.860 Well, that's a,

00:39:05.880 um, that's a great question.

00:39:07.000 What you do is

00:39:07.620 you start by building

00:39:08.540 a regular...

00:39:09.240 COVID virus

00:39:09.980 and then you make

00:39:10.580 small modifications to it

00:39:12.280 that might make it

00:39:14.120 more virulent

00:39:14.720 or more deadly.

00:39:15.500 And then you test it out

00:39:16.700 on thousands

00:39:17.820 upon thousands

00:39:18.780 of animals

00:39:19.620 until you find one

00:39:20.720 that's just really good

00:39:22.060 at killing things.

00:39:23.240 Note that it continues

00:39:24.200 the cycle.

00:39:25.640 That's the most hideous thing

00:39:27.180 I've ever heard

00:39:27.660 in my entire life.

00:39:28.480 Oh, well,

00:39:29.020 thank you very much.

00:39:29.780 You see,

00:39:30.080 the shrink guy

00:39:30.740 is with me all the way.

00:39:32.280 Stop saying that!

00:39:34.380 Webster's Dictionary

00:39:35.400 defines evil

00:39:36.480 as profoundly immoral.

00:39:38.300 We know what evil means!

00:39:40.840 Well, it doesn't seem

00:39:41.480 like you do

00:39:41.940 because you built

00:39:42.500 a freeze ray.

00:39:44.820 I think someone

00:39:45.740 should call the police!

00:39:48.260 Okay.

00:39:49.080 $7.9 million

00:39:50.380 program

00:39:51.220 in question

00:39:53.160 is the

00:39:53.740 media empowerment

00:39:54.500 for...

00:39:55.200 This is a Sri Lanka one,

00:39:56.500 right?

00:39:57.140 Where they're like,

00:39:57.660 oh, promoting

00:39:58.180 gender ideology

00:39:59.140 in Sri Lanka.

00:39:59.760 So what was actually

00:40:00.360 going on with this one?

00:40:01.540 So this had a

00:40:02.960 gender and LGBTQ plus

00:40:04.540 focus.

00:40:05.880 Recently,

00:40:06.520 MEND has released

00:40:07.880 educational materials

00:40:08.860 addressing gender

00:40:10.600 and LGBTQ

00:40:11.120 related topics,

00:40:12.360 including

00:40:12.680 a presentation

00:40:13.600 on gender pronouns,

00:40:14.640 encouraging journalists

00:40:15.480 to avoid assumptions

00:40:16.420 about gender identity

00:40:17.660 and normalized

00:40:18.300 sharing pronouns,

00:40:19.840 guidelines to using

00:40:21.180 quote,

00:40:21.760 LGBTQ plus sensitive

00:40:23.160 language and reporting

00:40:24.220 end quote,

00:40:25.180 advising against phrases

00:40:26.220 like born a girl

00:40:27.520 or born a boy,

00:40:28.960 materials on gender

00:40:30.020 expressions and gender roles.

00:40:31.500 What was this supposed to...

00:40:32.680 This really was

00:40:33.420 just about indoctrination.

00:40:34.580 There's nothing here

00:40:35.180 that's going to win you favors

00:40:36.220 with the target.

00:40:39.420 No, it was about

00:40:40.680 spreading a religion.

00:40:41.880 Like, it's insane.

00:40:43.080 It is cultural imperialism

00:40:45.300 nakedly and rawly.

00:40:47.340 If you hate imperialism...

00:40:47.940 But not even like

00:40:48.660 the full US

00:40:49.720 representative culture.

00:40:51.080 Like a very small

00:40:52.020 cult subset

00:40:52.880 of the American culture.

00:40:54.920 That is so bad.

00:40:56.460 Yeah, but they're

00:40:57.080 the good guys.

00:40:57.780 And they're like,

00:40:58.180 yeah, but we're good.

00:40:59.040 And I'm like,

00:40:59.460 everybody thinks

00:41:00.300 their religion

00:41:00.780 is the good guys.

00:41:02.200 But the rest of us

00:41:02.980 have the common sense.

00:41:03.700 I don't try to force

00:41:04.380 my techno-puritan beliefs

00:41:05.540 on you yet

00:41:07.040 because I don't have

00:41:08.700 the power yet.

00:41:09.780 I'm joking.

00:41:10.280 I'm joking.

00:41:10.800 We won't force them on you

00:41:11.820 depending on the power

00:41:13.040 differential between groups.

00:41:14.740 But no, no,

00:41:15.380 I never would

00:41:16.120 because I don't want,

00:41:16.940 you know,

00:41:17.160 we do have an intrinsic belief

00:41:18.620 in cultural diversity

00:41:19.840 because if their beliefs

00:41:21.000 are better than me,

00:41:21.480 then they should be able

00:41:22.020 to beat me.

00:41:22.980 But what beating you

00:41:24.040 looks like in an economic context

00:41:25.840 when I'm talking about

00:41:26.620 my distant descendants,

00:41:28.160 I think some people

00:41:29.020 might construe

00:41:30.440 as a level

00:41:31.840 of economic disparity

00:41:32.680 if they do as well

00:41:33.500 as I hope they will.

00:41:34.880 But when you look

00:41:36.400 at how little people

00:41:37.560 this actually touched,

00:41:38.360 so if you look at

00:41:38.780 all the people

00:41:39.140 who were in their program,

00:41:40.860 how many citizens

00:41:41.660 did they reach?

00:41:42.640 Because they taught

00:41:43.220 other stuff

00:41:43.780 than this gender ideology stuff.

00:41:45.340 How many citizens

00:41:46.040 did they reach

00:41:46.460 with this program?

00:41:47.220 So for 7.9 million,

00:41:49.100 they reached 24,000 citizens.

00:41:54.020 Wait, I want to do that.

00:41:55.000 What is the per person math?

00:41:56.240 I don't really have hands.

00:41:57.140 That's like well under

00:41:58.740 what we hit

00:41:59.340 on an average of three videos.

00:42:01.320 Now, keep in mind,

00:42:01.740 some of our videos

00:42:02.380 go way high,

00:42:03.180 but I'd say on like

00:42:03.660 an average any week

00:42:04.680 we're hitting way more

00:42:05.460 than that for free.

00:42:09.140 I had to do the math

00:42:10.500 with one hand,

00:42:11.080 but that's $316 per person.

00:42:13.560 If you just gave

00:42:14.560 each person $316

00:42:16.000 and you're like,

00:42:17.400 hey, don't be a dick

00:42:18.660 if someone has

00:42:19.720 like a slightly

00:42:20.480 different gender,

00:42:21.480 I think that people

00:42:22.220 would take it a lot better

00:42:23.260 than this program.

00:42:25.160 That would be

00:42:25.460 so much more efficient.

00:42:27.480 Or just like literally

00:42:28.660 have like eight

00:42:29.940 and openly trans person

00:42:31.240 give them a check

00:42:32.020 for $316 each.

00:42:34.960 Or let's just,

00:42:35.920 you know what,

00:42:36.280 maybe like $25,000

00:42:38.000 goes to the trans person

00:42:39.200 who hands out the money

00:42:39.860 because they need

00:42:40.460 to be compensated, right?

00:42:41.440 So $25,000

00:42:42.740 to the trans person

00:42:44.040 and then $310,

00:42:46.180 sorry, $315

00:42:47.220 to every user.

00:42:49.160 I love that you don't even

00:42:50.600 care about the ideology here.

00:42:51.880 You're like,

00:42:52.140 this is just so inefficient.

00:42:53.320 I just,

00:42:53.740 I mean,

00:42:54.120 at least be efficient.

00:42:55.520 At least be efficient.

00:42:56.920 It only works

00:42:57.880 by stealing from us,

00:42:59.800 which now we're realizing

00:43:00.920 they've been doing.

00:43:02.060 This is why nobody

00:43:02.680 bought the games.

00:43:03.140 You should go to my episodes.

00:43:03.880 Like, why did nobody

00:43:04.420 buy these games?

00:43:04.960 Like a suspiciously low

00:43:05.980 number of people bought

00:43:06.660 like Concord

00:43:07.120 and stuff like that.

00:43:08.180 Why did nobody buy them?

00:43:09.600 If this is a real movement?

00:43:11.040 Now I'm realizing it's not.

00:43:12.100 It's just a few Karens

00:43:13.260 in strategic places

00:43:16.200 within organizations

00:43:16.940 and a lot of your money.

00:43:18.740 Your money.

00:43:19.940 When I say your money,

00:43:21.500 it's your money at Target.

00:43:22.420 You know Target's being sued now

00:43:23.520 for this

00:43:24.260 by like pension funds

00:43:25.760 that had put their money

00:43:26.360 in them

00:43:26.600 because they had lied

00:43:27.400 about all the woke shit

00:43:28.480 that they were doing

00:43:29.120 and they were like,

00:43:29.940 oh, this can't hurt

00:43:30.700 our under,

00:43:32.460 you know,

00:43:33.320 our sales.

00:43:33.860 It's only going to help sales.

00:43:35.020 When they should have known

00:43:35.800 given the, you know,

00:43:36.620 Coors Light thing

00:43:37.360 or was it Coors Light?

00:43:38.520 I don't remember.

00:43:39.820 Maybe I shouldn't be.

00:43:41.740 It was Budweiser.

00:43:43.880 Budweiser.

00:43:44.320 Budweiser.

00:43:44.740 Then everyone was

00:43:45.180 the same company.

00:43:46.360 Anyway, it doesn't matter.

00:43:46.780 The point being

00:43:47.180 is they,

00:43:49.080 sorry, what was I saying?

00:43:52.660 They, they,

00:43:53.480 when Target does something

00:43:54.500 like this,

00:43:54.780 when a big company

00:43:55.580 does something like this

00:43:56.580 that really only has power

00:43:58.020 and money

00:43:58.520 due to institutional momentum,

00:44:00.820 that is stealing money

00:44:02.560 from us,

00:44:03.160 the American people

00:44:04.080 that is stealing money

00:44:05.240 from our pensions

00:44:06.420 when they lose money

00:44:07.540 over, you know,

00:44:08.980 selling, you know,

00:44:10.080 trans stuff

00:44:10.660 in the children's department

00:44:11.740 and selling, you know,

00:44:13.700 tuck swimsuits

00:44:14.720 for creepy people.

00:44:16.760 Like,

00:44:17.820 this is a,

00:44:18.840 this is,

00:44:20.140 whether it is

00:44:20.660 the U.S. State Department

00:44:21.560 or whether it is Target

00:44:22.540 or Walmart

00:44:23.020 or right now Costco,

00:44:24.260 which I would say

00:44:24.680 no one should shop

00:44:25.260 at Costco anymore.

00:44:26.180 They didn't drop

00:44:26.660 their DEI department.

00:44:27.540 They need to be,

00:44:28.300 they, they.

00:44:28.980 Wait, what?

00:44:29.520 Wait, hold on.

00:44:30.060 I don't know anything

00:44:30.620 about this.

00:44:31.160 I didn't even know

00:44:31.900 they had a DER.

00:44:32.760 That seems unlike them.

00:44:34.220 They are one of the few

00:44:35.340 companies that is refusing

00:44:36.460 to drop their DEI initiatives.

00:44:37.940 I've heard from people

00:44:39.180 we know who work there

00:44:40.220 who are like,

00:44:40.640 yeah, it's so bad

00:44:41.340 at Costco right now.

00:44:42.280 All of these like

00:44:43.060 diversity hires

00:44:43.820 are being promoted

00:44:44.420 over people

00:44:44.880 who've been there for ages.

00:44:46.100 Nothing's functioning anymore.

00:44:47.520 Go to BJ's.

00:44:48.420 BJ's are the real company.

00:44:49.480 Costco's evil.

00:44:50.520 Also, I'm a big fan of BJ's.

00:44:51.940 BJ's clean.

00:44:52.600 They actually clean

00:44:53.200 their floors

00:44:53.840 and don't look like

00:44:54.460 you're in a developing country.

00:44:55.920 So we got 3.3 million here

00:44:58.860 that,

00:44:59.660 or is it three?

00:45:02.620 Yeah, 3.3 million.

00:45:03.880 Dang.

00:45:04.460 I thought it was less than that.

00:45:05.420 It went to being LGBT

00:45:06.560 in the Caribbean through USAID.

00:45:07.880 So I wanted to understand better

00:45:09.040 what this org was doing.

00:45:10.660 This funding is likely part

00:45:11.900 of the USAID's efforts

00:45:13.280 to promote LGBT

00:45:14.160 and intersex rights

00:45:15.160 in the Caribbean.

00:45:16.120 It appears to be connected

00:45:17.200 to quote,

00:45:17.880 being LGBT

00:45:18.560 in the Caribbean initiative,

00:45:20.160 which is a collaboration

00:45:21.080 between USAID

00:45:22.120 and the UN Development Program.

00:45:23.680 Oh, yay, the UN.

00:45:24.620 So Europeans,

00:45:25.180 you're not out of this.

00:45:26.240 The program aims to promote

00:45:27.220 LGBTQ and intersex rights

00:45:28.980 in countries

00:45:29.820 such as the Dominican Republic,

00:45:31.280 Haiti, Jamaica,

00:45:31.880 and Barbados.

00:45:32.740 Activities include

00:45:33.700 supporting local organizations,

00:45:35.540 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:45:36.240 Basically making

00:45:36.900 these countries hate us.

00:45:38.300 And again,

00:45:39.340 how is this aligned

00:45:40.620 with any of your

00:45:42.720 average American's goals?

00:45:44.980 Yeah,

00:45:45.620 the big layers of this

00:45:47.540 are,

00:45:48.600 one,

00:45:49.180 just even

00:45:50.000 if you 100%

00:45:51.520 ideologically agreed

00:45:52.840 with every single project

00:45:54.740 of USAID,

00:45:56.020 you would be angry

00:45:56.760 about the inefficiency

00:45:57.740 of its spending.

00:45:59.600 And if you want

00:46:00.280 to promote this,

00:46:01.380 spend the money yourself,

00:46:02.600 man.

00:46:03.660 Yeah,

00:46:04.080 that as well,

00:46:05.040 especially because

00:46:05.520 it's not representative

00:46:06.240 of all Americans.

00:46:07.160 And that brings me

00:46:07.760 to grievance number two,

00:46:08.980 which is that they were

00:46:09.840 furthering the agenda

00:46:11.300 of very specific

00:46:12.580 cultural ideologies

00:46:13.940 that are not

00:46:15.000 universally held.

00:46:16.140 In fact,

00:46:16.480 it's a small minority

00:46:17.320 of Americans

00:46:17.820 who hold those views

00:46:18.540 and they're spreading those.

00:46:19.920 And then third,

00:46:22.540 if the mission

00:46:23.480 of USAID

00:46:24.220 is to basically

00:46:25.500 build social points

00:46:27.320 with other countries,

00:46:30.220 don't do things

00:46:31.380 that run contrary

00:46:33.240 to those countries'

00:46:34.300 cultures and norms.

00:46:35.480 What I put out here

00:46:36.400 is that this isn't

00:46:37.720 even normal

00:46:38.520 within gay populations.

00:46:41.180 Yeah.

00:46:41.420 Like,

00:46:41.620 I look at,

00:46:42.120 like,

00:46:42.340 you know,

00:46:42.580 our network,

00:46:43.740 right?

00:46:44.100 And you've got people

00:46:45.300 in it where people

00:46:45.700 are like,

00:46:46.000 well,

00:46:46.100 I don't know,

00:46:46.580 you know,

00:46:46.720 these people might

00:46:47.640 have some problems

00:46:48.240 with some of the stuff

00:46:48.920 you say because they're gay,

00:46:50.080 like Peter Thiel

00:46:50.740 and like Mike Solana.

00:46:51.660 And I'm like,

00:46:52.040 no,

00:46:52.300 man,

00:46:52.840 like,

00:46:53.100 for example,

00:46:54.380 I know Mike Solana

00:46:54.980 definitely doesn't have,

00:46:56.400 he does not want money.

00:46:57.840 Mike Solana's not gay.

00:46:59.620 I heard he is.

00:47:01.800 But he doesn't,

00:47:02.560 it doesn't make it

00:47:03.000 his personality.

00:47:03.700 You know what I mean?

00:47:04.800 Like,

00:47:05.240 it's clearly not the personality

00:47:06.560 of either of them.

00:47:08.360 So the Mike Solana

00:47:09.520 being gay thing

00:47:10.280 is really weird for us

00:47:11.260 because we had a fan

00:47:12.280 reach out to us

00:47:12.920 and they're like,

00:47:13.380 well,

00:47:14.260 there's this guy

00:47:15.320 maybe you should have

00:47:16.120 on your show

00:47:16.520 and we are going

00:47:16.920 to have him on the show.

00:47:17.900 Mike Solana.

00:47:19.140 But like,

00:47:19.840 you should be,

00:47:20.540 you know,

00:47:21.240 aware he is gay.

00:47:22.640 And here we are like,

00:47:23.860 but first of all,

00:47:24.420 like Mike Solana's like a friend

00:47:25.720 who like I've known for a while

00:47:26.940 and I was like,

00:47:28.260 I didn't know he was gay

00:47:30.660 and that's what I was referencing here

00:47:32.520 and so then I went to check

00:47:33.560 before this episode went live

00:47:34.880 because I don't want to like

00:47:35.560 call some random friend

00:47:36.440 of ours gay

00:47:36.920 if I don't know he's gay.

00:47:38.100 Turns out,

00:47:38.560 yeah,

00:47:38.700 he's gay.

00:47:39.480 But like,

00:47:40.780 he's a super stealthy gay.

00:47:42.120 Like his Wikipedia profile,

00:47:43.820 the only place it mentions

00:47:44.900 that he's gay

00:47:45.480 is at the very bottom

00:47:46.860 and has him under the category

00:47:47.920 of gay businessman.

00:47:49.340 And I think that

00:47:51.040 these organizations,

00:47:52.720 they don't get it.

00:47:53.940 They don't get that like,

00:47:55.240 you know,

00:47:55.640 Scott Pressler doesn't want this stuff.

00:47:57.540 Your average gay

00:47:58.460 doesn't want this stuff.

00:48:00.500 This,

00:48:00.820 this,

00:48:01.180 this,

00:48:01.500 because it makes people

00:48:03.280 hate gays

00:48:04.180 within these countries.

00:48:05.020 When you tie

00:48:06.460 like real gay people's identity

00:48:08.980 to like

00:48:09.740 trans story hours

00:48:12.120 and like this ridiculous

00:48:13.640 trans stuff

00:48:15.060 where they end up

00:48:15.560 specifically to versions

00:48:16.940 of LGBTQ,

00:48:18.440 whatever ideology

00:48:19.700 that are coercive

00:48:21.300 and not about

00:48:22.220 having sovereignty

00:48:23.340 over your own life.

00:48:24.360 Again,

00:48:24.520 that's where it draws

00:48:25.320 the line.

00:48:25.740 The directionality.

00:48:26.920 It feels unnatural to them

00:48:28.300 rather than you being able

00:48:29.280 to live your own way.

00:48:30.420 This is going to cause

00:48:31.320 people to hate gay people

00:48:32.300 and think gay people

00:48:32.880 are preying on their children.

00:48:33.840 And like

00:48:34.560 this stuff needs to be,

00:48:36.600 you know,

00:48:36.800 I might actually

00:48:37.620 just going forwards

00:48:38.660 whenever I read

00:48:39.460 like LGBTQ plus

00:48:40.640 just say trans

00:48:41.740 because it's not LGBTQ plus.

00:48:43.960 They're never pushing.

00:48:44.540 Yeah,

00:48:44.740 it's somewhat insulting

00:48:46.020 to like loop in

00:48:48.220 all of these other groups

00:48:50.140 with one group

00:48:51.180 that is extremely

00:48:51.940 different in function

00:48:53.000 and also in like

00:48:53.840 in the ask.

00:48:55.480 It's a very different ask

00:48:56.700 among the trans community

00:48:58.060 than what you get.

00:48:58.960 I mean like

00:48:59.320 gays,

00:49:00.240 lesbians,

00:49:00.740 asexuals,

00:49:01.420 queers,

00:49:01.780 whatever,

00:49:02.800 like they just want to be

00:49:03.540 allowed to live their lives.

00:49:04.660 Whereas trans people

00:49:05.740 want other people

00:49:06.880 to not in certain ways

00:49:08.680 allow them into certain spaces

00:49:10.060 that they're not allowed into.

00:49:11.500 Like that,

00:49:12.000 that it's a totally different game.

00:49:13.560 And it's particularly

00:49:14.440 hurtful to lesbians

00:49:15.580 who are like,

00:49:16.840 like,

00:49:17.360 like there's a category

00:49:18.900 of trans people

00:49:19.640 who's just like

00:49:20.320 a lesbian predator.

00:49:21.520 Like that's what they do.

00:49:22.280 Their,

00:49:22.440 their,

00:49:22.720 their whole thing

00:49:23.420 is trying to,

00:49:24.360 you know,

00:49:25.020 corrective sex lesbians

00:49:26.340 into,

00:49:27.320 we used to call this

00:49:28.100 corrective grape.

00:49:28.920 And for people who don't know,

00:49:29.800 growing up,

00:49:30.340 when I was younger,

00:49:31.120 they'd say like,

00:49:31.660 oh,

00:49:32.000 trying to force a lesbian

00:49:32.960 to sleep with you

00:49:33.840 because you have a penis

00:49:34.660 and that will cure them.

00:49:35.840 That's called corrective grape

00:49:36.980 and it's really evil.

00:49:38.240 And now there's like

00:49:38.740 a whole category

00:49:39.360 of like trans people online

00:49:40.320 that's like,

00:49:40.780 well,

00:49:41.040 if you don't sleep with me,

00:49:42.600 I'm a woman,

00:49:43.380 right?

00:49:43.720 That makes you

00:49:45.000 a,

00:49:45.880 a,

00:49:46.280 a transphobe.

00:49:48.720 And so you should just

00:49:49.560 try girl dick

00:49:50.840 and then learn

00:49:52.040 that you actually

00:49:53.140 do like trans women

00:49:54.220 even when we haven't transitioned

00:49:55.460 and don't look or whatever.

00:49:56.300 This is,

00:49:56.960 this is a,

00:49:58.180 obviously a hetero

00:49:59.440 male sex pest.

00:50:00.940 Like I think

00:50:02.240 everyone else knows this,

00:50:03.460 but now they own

00:50:04.240 this movement

00:50:05.240 and can use it

00:50:06.020 to,

00:50:06.320 to pressure people

00:50:07.240 in other countries,

00:50:07.960 use it to,

00:50:08.800 you know,

00:50:09.060 when they get this money,

00:50:09.980 the orgs that are getting

00:50:10.900 this money,

00:50:11.340 they're the ones

00:50:11.960 that are using this

00:50:12.460 to turn like lesbian bars

00:50:13.760 and enforcing them

00:50:15.120 to let these people in

00:50:16.040 and,

00:50:16.240 and,

00:50:16.420 and,

00:50:16.620 and prey on lesbian women

00:50:18.900 and the lesbian dating apps

00:50:20.360 as we've seen in like Australia,

00:50:21.420 they're not even allowed

00:50:22.140 to say,

00:50:22.700 Hey,

00:50:22.820 no,

00:50:23.060 if you don't pass,

00:50:23.720 we don't want you on the SAP,

00:50:24.980 which is really sad.

00:50:27.220 So yeah,

00:50:27.380 I shouldn't,

00:50:27.840 I should just be saying

00:50:28.640 trans nonsense

00:50:29.500 going forwards.

00:50:31.300 Okay.

00:50:31.660 So we got 14 million

00:50:33.060 in cash vouchers here

00:50:34.020 for migrants on the Southern border.

00:50:35.180 What was this about?

00:50:35.700 This is one where I was like,

00:50:36.340 okay,

00:50:36.560 okay.

00:50:37.260 What's going on here?

00:50:38.440 This funding was allocated

00:50:39.460 to provide cash vouchers

00:50:40.600 for migrants

00:50:41.180 at the United States

00:50:41.860 Southern border.

00:50:42.680 The program has been criticized

00:50:43.800 by some who argue

00:50:44.560 that the,

00:50:45.280 this incentivizes illegal immigration

00:50:47.040 and misuses taxpayer money.

00:50:51.160 Then they go,

00:50:51.880 but no,

00:50:52.180 no,

00:50:52.280 no,

00:50:52.360 no.

00:50:52.480 It's okay.

00:50:53.320 Because this assistance,

00:50:55.180 the 14 million

00:50:56.140 was part of a larger

00:50:57.600 1.6 billion aid plan

00:51:00.840 which included

00:51:02.060 372 million

00:51:04.040 for cash voucher assistance

00:51:05.400 and multi-purpose cash assistance

00:51:06.960 for an estimated

00:51:07.980 600,000 migrants.

00:51:12.320 That doesn't make it okay.

00:51:13.200 That doesn't make it okay.

00:51:14.300 No,

00:51:14.780 that doesn't make it okay.

00:51:16.020 That's so much worse.

00:51:18.160 That is so much worse.

00:51:19.260 It's like,

00:51:19.540 oh,

00:51:19.700 so we were spending money

00:51:20.980 from,

00:51:21.600 we,

00:51:21.880 the American taxpayers

00:51:22.880 were giving cash vouchers

00:51:25.060 to migrants.

00:51:26.440 I love the left,

00:51:27.480 like people aren't giving them

00:51:28.460 debit cards with money on it.

00:51:29.600 Well,

00:51:29.760 here it is.

00:51:30.340 How much money do you have?

00:51:30.840 I always wondered about that.

00:51:32.480 Is this that?

00:51:33.480 Is this the debit cards

00:51:34.600 for migrants?

00:51:35.020 That's what this is.

00:51:35.840 Yeah.

00:51:35.920 $372 million

00:51:37.420 for a half million.

00:51:38.180 It was something

00:51:38.460 that came up a lot

00:51:39.300 during the election

00:51:40.000 in like interviews

00:51:40.960 of people who were angry

00:51:42.180 and wanted policy changes

00:51:44.660 with immigration

00:51:45.360 and then I was like,

00:51:46.320 but that can't possibly be.

00:51:48.260 No one's actually giving.

00:51:49.580 So it says here,

00:51:50.820 the assistance is provided

00:51:51.880 through various needs

00:51:52.760 including prepaid debit cards,

00:51:54.900 cash and envelopes,

00:51:56.340 bank transfers,

00:51:57.360 and mobile transfers.

00:52:03.540 So that's,

00:52:04.940 that happened.

00:52:05.920 And they,

00:52:08.080 they acted like

00:52:09.120 we were conspiracy theorists

00:52:10.160 for saying this is happening.

00:52:11.720 Okay.

00:52:12.180 So here's one

00:52:13.080 that really got me.

00:52:13.780 The half a million dollars

00:52:15.260 to promote an expansion

00:52:16.140 of atheism in Nepal.

00:52:18.080 So,

00:52:18.820 you know,

00:52:20.340 Nepal is a religious country,

00:52:22.160 right?

00:52:22.420 Like you're aware of that.

00:52:23.600 It's a,

00:52:23.980 it's a Buddhist country.

00:52:25.980 Even if it's under the control

00:52:26.820 of the Chinese government

00:52:27.420 right now,

00:52:27.780 it is still a Buddhist state.

00:52:29.920 So what did this organization

00:52:31.300 actually do?

00:52:32.020 The grant was originally titled

00:52:33.640 Promoting and Defending

00:52:34.520 Religious Freedom

00:52:35.320 Inclusive of Atheist,

00:52:37.260 Humanist,

00:52:37.860 Non-Practicing,

00:52:38.520 and Non-Affiliated Individuals.

00:52:40.160 And they're like,

00:52:40.680 we didn't know

00:52:41.420 this was just going to go

00:52:42.160 to promoting atheism.

00:52:42.880 How could you not know

00:52:43.620 that was that title?

00:52:44.600 Okay.

00:52:45.300 The State Department claimed

00:52:46.320 the grant's purpose

00:52:47.000 was to prevent discrimination

00:52:47.920 against individuals

00:52:48.740 who do not adhere

00:52:49.540 to the predominant

00:52:50.120 religious tradition,

00:52:51.060 not to promote

00:52:51.720 atheism specifically.

00:52:53.060 However,

00:52:53.520 investigation revealed

00:52:54.500 that the grant recipient,

00:52:55.860 Humanist International,

00:52:57.180 HI,

00:52:58.020 may have misused

00:52:58.840 the funds

00:52:59.320 to advance

00:52:59.920 the humanist cause

00:53:00.900 and expand atheist networks.

00:53:02.820 The grant's stated objectives

00:53:04.460 includes increasing,

00:53:05.740 quote,

00:53:06.420 capacity among members

00:53:07.740 of atheist

00:53:08.360 and heterodox individuals

00:53:09.640 to form or join networks

00:53:11.640 or organizations,

00:53:12.860 end quote,

00:53:13.460 which contradicts

00:53:14.420 the State Department's claims

00:53:15.460 that this was intended

00:53:16.160 for neutrality.

00:53:17.020 They are literally advancing

00:53:20.120 the religion

00:53:21.660 of this minority cult

00:53:25.980 in these other countries

00:53:27.160 in every facet,

00:53:28.460 whether it is

00:53:29.220 the green energy,

00:53:30.940 whether it is the wokeness,

00:53:32.280 whether it is the atheism.

00:53:34.360 They do not care about

00:53:35.640 promoting America's best interests.

00:53:37.760 That can be done

00:53:38.440 by the State Department.

00:53:39.280 That is done

00:53:39.820 by the State Department.

00:53:40.680 It's not like people are like,

00:53:41.720 who is going to give money

00:53:42.580 to other countries

00:53:43.320 if USA doesn't exist?

00:53:44.620 A lot of organizations

00:53:45.960 in the U.S. exist

00:53:46.840 to give money

00:53:47.320 to other countries

00:53:47.880 other than U.S. aid.

00:53:48.960 U.S. aid exists

00:53:49.840 to promote a specific agenda.

00:53:55.060 Thoughts, Simone?

00:53:56.220 That's the end here.

00:53:57.060 That's all she wrote

00:53:58.660 in terms of information.

00:54:00.440 It's been much worse

00:54:01.320 than I thought

00:54:01.780 and I like that

00:54:04.960 there's some talk

00:54:06.140 of like,

00:54:06.540 well, sure,

00:54:07.020 we'll keep around

00:54:07.800 the 200 and something employees

00:54:10.200 who are actually

00:54:11.080 doing the job of U.S. aid.

00:54:13.960 And I think that really

00:54:14.980 like the real job

00:54:16.120 of what U.S. aid

00:54:16.740 was meant to be done

00:54:17.540 can be effectively executed

00:54:19.360 by approximately 200 people.

00:54:22.420 I could see a place for this.

00:54:24.000 I'm also for Congress

00:54:24.880 dissolving this entirely,

00:54:26.800 especially in light of

00:54:27.800 must have been dissolved

00:54:28.780 at this point.

00:54:29.400 Now, with everything

00:54:29.940 that's come to light,

00:54:30.520 it must be dissolved.

00:54:32.240 The problem is

00:54:33.120 that the executive branch

00:54:34.400 can't do that independently.

00:54:35.880 It needs Congress.

00:54:36.700 Actually, they can.

00:54:37.340 They can probably defund it.

00:54:39.000 Which, so, okay,

00:54:39.720 so it was created

00:54:40.640 by an executive order

00:54:41.540 and then ratified by Congress

00:54:42.720 on two separate occasions.

00:54:44.300 However, keep in mind,

00:54:45.380 Republicans control Congress

00:54:46.380 right now.

00:54:47.040 So, you're going to get

00:54:47.960 a lot of pushback

00:54:48.760 if they don't go against this.

00:54:49.680 And I expect

00:54:50.160 the good guy Democrats

00:54:51.700 like Fetterman

00:54:52.360 and stuff like that.

00:54:54.820 By the way,

00:54:55.320 I've talked to Simone

00:54:55.920 about this.

00:54:56.360 We might do

00:54:56.640 a different episode on this.

00:54:57.600 Republicans are going to have

00:54:58.400 trouble beating Fetterman

00:54:59.240 if he ends up

00:54:59.720 running the general.

00:55:00.480 He's really proven himself

00:55:01.980 pretty strong here.

00:55:03.200 We'll see if he can beat

00:55:03.940 a Democratic primary.

00:55:04.880 But he might.

00:55:05.400 He might.

00:55:05.900 If the Democrats

00:55:06.340 have woken up,

00:55:07.080 you know,

00:55:07.400 I doubt it happens.

00:55:08.500 I think Fetterman

00:55:09.580 represents the new

00:55:10.960 viable branch

00:55:11.800 of the Democratic Party.

00:55:12.960 I do, too.

00:55:13.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:14.480 So, people he didn't see,

00:55:16.320 he did a big thing

00:55:16.900 on why we need

00:55:17.580 the mass deportations

00:55:18.720 recently.

00:55:19.280 He's like,

00:55:19.800 but you know we need this.

00:55:21.100 These people are here illegally.

00:55:22.780 Like, do you not care

00:55:23.640 about your citizens

00:55:24.440 at all?

00:55:24.900 Do you said that?

00:55:25.520 Oh, my God.

00:55:26.100 Yeah.

00:55:26.620 Oh, yeah.

00:55:28.260 He's based.

00:55:29.360 But anyway,

00:55:29.740 he had to get a brain aneurysm

00:55:31.180 to be the smartest Democrat.

00:55:32.580 And people here,

00:55:33.440 they're like,

00:55:33.760 why don't you go back

00:55:34.400 to your old content?

00:55:35.060 I'll tell you,

00:55:35.400 there's two reasons

00:55:35.920 why we're not back

00:55:36.400 to our old content.

00:55:37.040 One is it's because

00:55:38.060 freaking every day

00:55:39.020 something crazy new

00:55:40.420 is happening in politics

00:55:41.280 right now that I have to cover.

00:55:42.720 But the second reason is

00:55:43.940 it's because you're actually

00:55:44.840 watching episodes.

00:55:45.760 We generally record

00:55:46.540 two episodes a day.

00:55:47.860 And so you're seeing

00:55:48.440 all the episodes

00:55:48.980 that have to be timely

00:55:49.880 and all the episodes

00:55:51.080 that don't have to be timely

00:55:52.040 are going to be airing

00:55:52.940 when I'm on vacation.

00:55:54.120 And those are the ones

00:55:54.620 that come up for topics

00:55:55.380 like philosophy and religion

00:55:56.320 because I can air those

00:55:57.480 when I meet them

00:55:58.540 in a political event.

00:56:00.560 So that's actually why

00:56:01.800 you're getting so many

00:56:02.560 political episodes right now.

00:56:03.920 It's not that we're not

00:56:04.780 producing the other type

00:56:05.720 of episode.

00:56:06.120 We're just not airing

00:56:07.140 them right now.

00:56:07.940 But also,

00:56:09.540 I'm just amazed

00:56:10.100 by how much has happened

00:56:10.940 in such a short time period.

00:56:12.260 It really has been

00:56:13.640 humbling.

00:56:14.340 It's incredible.

00:56:15.200 Yeah.

00:56:15.760 I don't know if this

00:56:17.000 has ever happened before.

00:56:18.180 Maybe in the very early stages

00:56:19.660 of the United States

00:56:21.580 when like,

00:56:23.080 you know,

00:56:23.360 there were like

00:56:23.860 10 people in politics.

00:56:25.560 But this is insane.

00:56:27.420 It feels like a revolution.

00:56:28.800 It feels like a revolution.

00:56:30.540 It feels like,

00:56:31.460 you know,

00:56:31.600 people are like,

00:56:32.160 oh my God,

00:56:32.860 something big is happening.

00:56:33.840 You know,

00:56:34.580 I said it feels like

00:56:35.540 when I look at my government

00:56:36.800 people I know now,

00:56:37.760 like when SBF

00:56:39.460 and it's the same

00:56:40.960 maybe when free,

00:56:41.460 this whole thing went bust

00:56:42.520 and the EA orgs

00:56:43.560 were all like freaking out

00:56:44.340 and scrambling.

00:56:44.920 And it's like,

00:56:45.200 where's all the free money

00:56:46.120 I was promised

00:56:46.720 for sucking,

00:56:48.240 you know,

00:56:48.760 the D of the urban monoculture.

00:56:51.280 And they were freaking out

00:56:52.600 and I was laughing.

00:56:53.860 And now,

00:56:55.280 we are seeing this again.

00:56:57.660 And I think a lot of them

00:56:59.240 are like,

00:56:59.640 oh my God,

00:57:00.300 you guys look,

00:57:01.980 look,

00:57:02.220 because you voted MAGA.

00:57:03.780 Now,

00:57:04.360 random children in Africa

00:57:05.700 aren't being given shots

00:57:07.680 to prevent AIDS.

00:57:08.860 And I'm like,

00:57:09.220 why the,

00:57:10.020 was I paying for that?

00:57:11.960 Thank you for telling me

00:57:13.320 that I had this subscription.

00:57:14.800 It's like somebody's like,

00:57:15.580 now your subscription

00:57:16.440 to X has expired.

00:57:18.080 And I'm like,

00:57:18.340 I'm sorry,

00:57:18.660 I didn't know

00:57:19.140 I was subscribed to that.

00:57:20.420 Can we,

00:57:20.840 can we get rid

00:57:21.540 of this subscription?

00:57:22.500 I'm all for helping

00:57:23.520 these kids in Africa

00:57:24.400 with your own money,

00:57:25.660 not with my damn money.

00:57:28.120 And not with money

00:57:29.160 that I want going to,

00:57:30.580 I want the people in LA

00:57:32.340 because they're my countrymen.

00:57:33.560 I want the people

00:57:34.800 in,

00:57:35.660 in,

00:57:36.080 in these flooded regions.

00:57:37.500 And another thing,

00:57:38.420 when we talk about like

00:57:39.380 talking to other countries,

00:57:40.640 this is something

00:57:41.120 that Simone and I

00:57:41.680 were talking a lot about today

00:57:42.480 and it really hit me.

00:57:44.380 USAID's like,

00:57:45.100 you know,

00:57:45.320 where they hit,

00:57:46.220 what was it?

00:57:46.580 Like 24,000 people

00:57:48.180 for like $7.5 million,

00:57:49.760 right?

00:57:50.020 Okay.

00:57:50.760 You,

00:57:51.340 my show watchers

00:57:52.480 may be surprised about this,

00:57:53.380 but only 55%

00:57:54.340 of our audience is American.

00:57:55.760 So,

00:57:56.160 about half the people

00:57:58.720 who watch our show

00:57:59.820 are people

00:58:01.840 from other countries

00:58:02.680 who are getting

00:58:03.420 their understanding

00:58:04.700 in part

00:58:05.700 of what Americans

00:58:06.840 are like,

00:58:07.400 what they believe,

00:58:08.380 what this administration

00:58:09.120 is like

00:58:09.680 from our show.

00:58:12.000 Now,

00:58:13.020 let's go start

00:58:14.100 a fucking revolution.

00:58:16.020 Kick it!

00:58:16.940 The entire world

00:58:18.000 would be better off

00:58:18.620 if these people

00:58:19.060 were permanently removed

00:58:20.240 from these platforms.

00:58:21.400 Like,

00:58:21.680 there is no downside

00:58:22.680 and only upside

00:58:23.500 to see people

00:58:24.120 like Candace Owens,

00:58:25.060 Tucker Carlson,

00:58:25.820 Tim Pool

00:58:26.200 never be allowed

00:58:27.320 to publicly broadcast

00:58:28.300 their opinions

00:58:28.780 ever again.

00:58:29.420 Spread on them!

00:58:30.840 Spread the fuck

00:58:32.060 all over them!

00:58:33.560 I don't give a fuck

00:58:34.280 about anybody

00:58:34.740 that winds up

00:58:35.260 at any of these rallies

00:58:35.880 and gets shot

00:58:36.420 or whatever the fuck,

00:58:37.040 okay?

00:58:45.500 Is free speech

00:58:46.420 under threat

00:58:47.100 in the UK

00:58:47.800 with the rise

00:58:48.740 of arrests

00:58:49.500 over grossly

00:58:50.440 offensive memes?

00:59:02.880 If any US

00:59:04.040 university

00:59:04.660 has discovered

00:59:05.460 to have engaged

00:59:06.420 in censorship activities

00:59:08.040 such as flagging

00:59:09.720 social media content,

00:59:11.960 those universities

00:59:12.880 should lose

00:59:13.500 federal student loan support.

00:59:15.880 Ding dong!

00:59:16.800 It's America,

00:59:17.640 motherfucker!

00:59:18.420 When users

00:59:19.140 have their content

00:59:20.220 or accounts removed,

00:59:21.700 throttled,

00:59:22.520 shadow banned,

00:59:23.480 they should have

00:59:24.180 the right to be informed

00:59:25.400 that it's happening,

00:59:27.340 the right to a

00:59:28.340 specific explanation

00:59:29.900 of the reason why.

00:59:31.240 I think we gave people

00:59:33.040 too much freedom.

00:59:33.740 Yeah, you're right, man.

00:59:34.760 I'll call the cops.

00:59:35.380 No, no, no, no, no,

00:59:35.980 we can't call the cops

00:59:36.660 if that's admitting failure.

00:59:37.800 Dennis, we gave people

00:59:38.720 too much freedom.

00:59:39.640 That's the problem.

00:59:40.580 The United States

00:59:42.040 is but a paper tiger,

00:59:44.300 a weak nation,

00:59:45.780 of weak people,

00:59:47.720 cowards,

00:59:48.620 no longer willing

00:59:49.460 to fight.

00:59:50.220 Don't ever let me

01:00:01.720 catch you guys

01:00:02.700 in America.

01:00:04.000 I probably reach

01:00:05.600 about as much people

01:00:07.300 as USAID

01:00:09.000 reaches in a positive light

01:00:10.920 because the algorithm

01:00:12.560 is serving this.

01:00:13.180 People can say like,

01:00:13.740 well, some people

01:00:14.120 would hate your show

01:00:14.620 and I'm like,

01:00:14.880 well, then the algorithm

01:00:15.600 is not serving it to them,

01:00:16.460 so whatever, right?

01:00:17.760 The algorithm is serving this

01:00:18.900 to people who like

01:00:19.680 this sort of stuff.

01:00:20.280 And this positively

01:00:20.820 endears them to America.

01:00:21.900 And so whether it's

01:00:22.440 in Africa or wherever,

01:00:23.640 if people are wondering

01:00:24.320 where we get clusters,

01:00:25.120 we get a lot of watchers

01:00:25.900 in Latin America.

01:00:26.740 We get a lot of watchers

01:00:27.520 in Eastern Europe,

01:00:28.740 you know,

01:00:29.220 and I think that those are

01:00:30.860 because our mindsets

01:00:31.800 highly align with those regions.

01:00:33.620 A lot of watchers

01:00:34.080 in Canada too, actually,

01:00:35.180 like 7% of our watchers

01:00:36.260 are in Canada,

01:00:36.900 7.6 or something.

01:00:38.480 A lot of our,

01:00:39.100 not that many are in the UK.

01:00:40.300 I was surprised by that,

01:00:41.200 but I think it's because

01:00:41.720 they're all on VPNs

01:00:42.720 because they don't want

01:00:43.100 to get arrested

01:00:43.500 for having an independent thought.

01:00:45.940 I feel for you, brothers.

01:00:47.080 I feel like I'm talking

01:00:47.740 to people in some sort

01:00:49.320 of internment camp

01:00:50.020 when I'm talking

01:00:50.920 to the people in the UK.

01:00:52.320 An article on Slate

01:00:53.100 came out about us yesterday,

01:00:54.700 hating us.

01:00:55.760 Simone, talk about this article

01:00:56.600 because I loved your take

01:00:57.780 on the Slate article.

01:00:59.140 It was like,

01:00:59.780 how dare they?

01:01:01.240 It's just like,

01:01:02.020 well, someone,

01:01:02.820 please stop writing

01:01:03.620 about these people

01:01:04.800 and that the only thing

01:01:06.420 that's plausibly interesting

01:01:08.180 or that we've ever achieved

01:01:09.020 in life is that we told people

01:01:11.440 that they need to have more kids.

01:01:12.880 But then the author proceeds

01:01:14.700 to like write about

01:01:15.980 all this coverage about us

01:01:17.180 that our other projects,

01:01:18.780 our books and our school

01:01:20.600 and our podcast

01:01:21.560 and our nonprofit.

01:01:24.240 And our religion.

01:01:25.560 Yeah, it's just kind of like.

01:01:27.580 The only thing they've ever done

01:01:28.980 is everything,

01:01:30.480 like way more

01:01:31.520 than most people do

01:01:32.400 with their entire life.

01:01:32.980 Why do people keep writing

01:01:34.160 about this couple?

01:01:35.300 I mean, also,

01:01:36.080 it completely glosses over

01:01:37.420 that, oh, I don't know,

01:01:39.040 maybe because demographic collapse

01:01:40.820 is one of the most pressing issues

01:01:42.380 of our time.

01:01:43.780 And I'd point out to people

01:01:45.180 who think because a lot of people,

01:01:46.600 they know us from like our show,

01:01:47.760 which is like somewhat popular,

01:01:49.240 but like not super popular, right?

01:01:50.500 Like, I'll be honest,

01:01:51.060 I understand was like our YouTube

01:01:52.260 and X following

01:01:52.960 why people would be surprised.

01:01:54.780 We are like the thing

01:01:56.020 that I have a real talent for

01:01:57.240 is making media stories

01:01:58.860 go viral

01:01:59.680 and get a wide audience.

01:02:01.260 The Washington Post piece

01:02:02.380 that was done on us

01:02:03.200 ended up being Washington Post

01:02:04.900 top piece

01:02:06.300 read that day

01:02:07.500 on the day

01:02:08.700 where Trump

01:02:09.260 announced

01:02:10.880 that he planned

01:02:11.780 to annex Gaza

01:02:12.840 and turn it into

01:02:13.600 the new Riviera.

01:02:14.240 We beat

01:02:15.460 that story.

01:02:17.120 So we're

01:02:17.760 very good

01:02:18.880 even though people are like

01:02:19.860 I've seen this story before

01:02:20.920 of continuing to catch

01:02:21.900 the public narrative

01:02:22.680 because we do a new spin

01:02:23.960 on it every time.

01:02:24.680 We work as a reporter

01:02:25.400 every time on how to do that.

01:02:26.720 And the truth is

01:02:27.960 is that the average

01:02:29.280 internet user

01:02:30.060 has the memory

01:02:31.700 of a goldfish.

01:02:33.420 And so

01:02:33.760 when we're doing these stories,

01:02:34.880 when we're crafting these stories,

01:02:35.780 it's not to hit you,

01:02:36.620 our general audience.

01:02:37.320 It is to further

01:02:38.680 pierce the public narrative

01:02:40.240 and to refocus

01:02:42.140 what is

01:02:43.280 pronatalism?

01:02:45.060 Who are the pronatalists?

01:02:46.720 Are they all

01:02:47.600 a bunch of religious extremists?

01:02:49.080 Yes.

01:02:49.700 I mean, the articles

01:02:50.260 never come off that way.

01:02:51.140 I always try to get them

01:02:51.740 to come off that way.

01:02:52.220 But they use us to show

01:02:53.560 that we're actually

01:02:54.760 a much more,

01:02:56.580 I guess,

01:02:57.100 inviting movement

01:02:58.140 than people would expect

01:02:59.200 because one of the things

01:02:59.800 we always point out in this

01:03:00.540 is we've got friends

01:03:01.200 who are religious extremists,

01:03:02.180 but we're not

01:03:02.700 traditional religious extremists.

01:03:04.320 We're crazy religious extremists.

01:03:05.520 Your kind claim

01:03:10.080 to your flesh

01:03:11.200 as it will not

01:03:13.320 decay and fail you.

01:03:17.680 One day,

01:03:19.000 the crude biomass

01:03:20.260 that you call the temple

01:03:22.020 will win

01:03:23.200 and you will pay

01:03:25.040 my kind to save you.

01:03:30.660 But I am raising...

01:03:33.140 Anyway,

01:03:33.720 I love you to death, Simone.

01:03:34.660 Any final thoughts?

01:03:35.520 No, just that

01:03:38.500 this is absolutely insane.

01:03:40.160 I mean, I'm hoping

01:03:40.760 that USAID

01:03:41.980 is the warm-up round.

01:03:43.680 I know they're kind of

01:03:44.380 looking at Social Security now

01:03:45.780 and that,

01:03:47.960 I mean, hopefully

01:03:48.600 they'll move on

01:03:49.080 to bigger and bigger things.

01:03:50.440 But I think USAID

01:03:51.380 is a really good warm-up round

01:03:52.480 because it's not like,

01:03:53.760 it's not touching

01:03:54.600 any of the US

01:03:55.420 like major arteries,

01:03:57.100 you know?

01:03:57.620 It's not,

01:03:58.660 it's kind of floating out

01:04:00.060 on its own

01:04:00.600 doing its thing.

01:04:01.740 1% of the total

01:04:03.060 US budget,

01:04:04.260 essentially,

01:04:04.660 like a little bit

01:04:05.340 less than that.

01:04:06.560 So like to them,

01:04:08.580 it must have been

01:04:09.800 a really good test case

01:04:10.860 to see like,

01:04:11.420 okay,

01:04:11.580 how are we going

01:04:12.160 to be resisted?

01:04:13.120 How are people

01:04:13.740 going to try

01:04:14.140 to stonewall us?

01:04:15.140 Exactly.

01:04:15.440 All these things.

01:04:16.580 And I just...

01:04:17.380 Always go over

01:04:18.540 the most indispensable

01:04:19.560 thing first

01:04:20.420 when you're attacking

01:04:21.000 progressives

01:04:21.560 because that's

01:04:22.400 where they will die.

01:04:23.880 And so,

01:04:24.440 as the administration

01:04:25.240 goes after other things,

01:04:26.820 people will continue

01:04:27.580 to focus on USAID

01:04:28.680 because it's

01:04:29.260 the most undefensible thing.

01:04:30.480 that's the way

01:04:31.760 the progressive apparatus

01:04:33.240 operates,

01:04:34.400 which makes it

01:04:35.220 very easy to beat.

01:04:36.540 And it was

01:04:36.840 an incredibly shrewd move

01:04:38.700 on Muskeem's part

01:04:39.920 to start here

01:04:41.140 because there is

01:04:42.120 no defending USAID.

01:04:43.640 Apparently not

01:04:44.260 when you dig

01:04:44.680 fairly deep.

01:04:45.760 It's...

01:04:46.760 Honestly,

01:04:47.700 I just...

01:04:48.220 I would have expected

01:04:49.660 more that they

01:04:51.560 would come out

01:04:52.280 with stories

01:04:53.480 about like the children

01:04:54.340 that they're feeding

01:04:55.020 and like the lives

01:04:57.000 that they're saving

01:04:57.460 on a daily basis.

01:04:58.540 And the fact

01:04:59.280 that we really

01:04:59.780 haven't seen...

01:05:01.240 And I...

01:05:01.680 You know I watch

01:05:02.460 a lot of leftist coverage

01:05:03.340 so like I'm waiting

01:05:04.400 for it

01:05:04.820 and I'm just not seeing it.

01:05:05.740 I'm like,

01:05:06.160 wait,

01:05:06.880 where's my like...

01:05:08.780 Where's my all

01:05:09.740 the little kids

01:05:10.260 who are gonna die?

01:05:11.260 Yeah.

01:05:11.940 I mean,

01:05:12.500 because I thought

01:05:13.220 there was at least

01:05:14.060 some of that.

01:05:14.480 I'm sure that there is.

01:05:15.320 I'm sure that there is.

01:05:16.220 It's just I'm really shocked

01:05:17.380 by like how little

01:05:19.280 of this...

01:05:20.100 Well, no.

01:05:20.440 So the Trump administration

01:05:21.260 is doing it right.

01:05:22.200 If you go after

01:05:23.160 the trans opera,

01:05:24.860 even if there's a way

01:05:25.660 to be like,

01:05:26.120 well,

01:05:26.340 the trans opera

01:05:27.020 actually didn't work like that

01:05:28.380 and it wasn't directly funded

01:05:29.440 and, you know,

01:05:30.220 we need to focus

01:05:30.760 on the kids who are dying.

01:05:32.220 Leftists will attempt

01:05:33.140 to defend the concept

01:05:34.260 of a trans opera.

01:05:35.580 That is the way

01:05:36.680 that their machine works.

01:05:38.040 They are unable to say,

01:05:40.040 oh, well,

01:05:40.620 that would be really stupid

01:05:41.840 if we were doing that.

01:05:43.420 Yeah.

01:05:44.480 Yeah.

01:05:45.420 Trans opera.

01:05:46.820 I just...

01:05:47.380 I can't.

01:05:48.940 I can't.

01:05:50.320 It's tolerable.

01:05:51.020 By the way,

01:05:51.520 they weren't funding directly

01:05:52.620 but the leftists

01:05:53.520 won't let go

01:05:54.920 of this hot potato

01:05:55.720 that's burning their hands.

01:05:58.620 Yeah.

01:05:59.500 Yeah.

01:05:59.980 Just bad.

01:06:00.620 Bad, bad, bad, bad.

01:06:02.700 Really bad luck.

01:06:05.020 I'm sorry.

01:06:06.860 And I'd be interested

01:06:07.860 to see how this plays out

01:06:08.820 is a lot of leftists

01:06:09.640 influencers are freaking out now

01:06:10.920 and maybe be getting

01:06:11.800 like deplatformed

01:06:12.760 like Hassan

01:06:13.600 who supports terrorists

01:06:15.460 in the eradication

01:06:17.000 of the Jewish people.

01:06:18.180 So, you know,

01:06:18.540 not a good guy.

01:06:19.620 Yeah, he's not.

01:06:20.100 He definitely does.

01:06:21.700 He has repeatedly

01:06:22.780 supported terrorist organizations

01:06:24.740 and when people

01:06:26.500 have asked us to denounce,

01:06:27.740 asked him to denounce them

01:06:28.880 like directly

01:06:29.460 and he's had plenty

01:06:30.140 of opportunity to.

01:06:31.280 You know,

01:06:31.480 he supports October 7th,

01:06:33.400 he says.

01:06:34.260 Not even like plenty

01:06:35.420 of good people

01:06:36.560 on both sides.

01:06:37.540 He's like,

01:06:38.100 it's a complicated issue

01:06:39.100 but they're heroes.

01:06:40.380 Not but they're heroes

01:06:41.140 but he said

01:06:41.520 that they're heroes

01:06:42.060 on other occasions.

01:06:43.200 Oh boy.

01:06:44.920 Oh boy.

01:06:45.440 But I think

01:06:46.800 we've now got them

01:06:48.780 to a position

01:06:49.480 where there's got

01:06:50.160 to be some retreat.

01:06:56.660 I was speaking

01:06:57.440 of the school

01:06:58.020 that you said

01:06:58.500 was a Slate article.

01:06:59.240 Anybody who wants

01:06:59.600 to beta test that,

01:07:00.680 please help us out.

01:07:01.820 Yeah, you're welcome.

01:07:03.300 Love you to Desimone.

01:07:04.460 You are my heroine.

01:07:06.640 I mean that literally

01:07:07.540 because you get me heroin.

01:07:11.600 She's like,

01:07:12.100 I want to learn

01:07:12.580 to cook you

01:07:13.220 all of the things

01:07:14.480 you love.

01:07:14.900 If she's willing

01:07:15.800 to cook me heroin.

01:07:16.880 Sorry, I'm joking.

01:07:19.700 What are we doing

01:07:20.480 today for dinner?

01:07:21.460 Are we doing curry

01:07:22.140 or are we doing

01:07:22.600 that curry?

01:07:24.320 You can do curry

01:07:25.240 or you can do gyoza

01:07:26.460 and fried rice.

01:07:27.440 I want to do curry.

01:07:29.020 I'm making fried rice

01:07:29.800 for the kids regardless.

01:07:31.240 Oh, then I'll do

01:07:31.940 gyoza and fried rice.

01:07:35.420 Your gyoza is amazing.

01:07:36.940 We're trying the new one

01:07:38.140 from that amazing

01:07:39.220 Asian specialty store.

01:07:41.400 You did fried rice?

01:07:42.540 Yeah, no, no.

01:07:43.620 Gyoza.

01:07:44.060 I make the fried rice

01:07:45.420 from scratch,

01:07:46.100 but the gyoza

01:07:46.760 is from,

01:07:47.800 you picked it out.

01:07:48.640 You were like,

01:07:48.980 I really want to eat that.

01:07:49.920 Oh, the meat one.

01:07:50.980 Yes, I want to do that.

01:07:53.000 Oh, Andy.

01:07:53.960 Oh, you are a heroine, Simone.

01:07:55.860 Thank you.

01:07:57.220 Well, I will.

01:07:58.120 I will start that

01:07:58.860 and I love you very much.

01:08:00.240 We got to get

01:08:00.700 dumpling dipping sauce

01:08:01.840 from them

01:08:02.180 because I bet

01:08:02.560 they have some

01:08:02.960 really good stuff.

01:08:04.120 We found this amazing,

01:08:05.300 like giant, giant, giant

01:08:06.240 Asian store

01:08:06.860 by our house.

01:08:07.440 It was magic.

01:08:08.460 It was magical.

01:08:10.020 It was so magical.

01:08:11.300 Everything's imported.

01:08:12.560 You can get everything there.

01:08:14.220 Yeah.

01:08:14.360 Even like stuff

01:08:15.180 that I used to have

01:08:15.940 to order a special

01:08:16.820 and like at any other

01:08:17.860 Asian shop we'd go to,

01:08:19.000 maybe there'd be like

01:08:19.600 one version of it,

01:08:20.380 like black rice.

01:08:21.040 It's so hard to get

01:08:22.020 when they have like

01:08:22.880 four different kinds of it.

01:08:24.420 They have everything.

01:08:25.680 Everything.

01:08:26.360 So we go

01:08:27.060 and there was this location.

01:08:28.420 I didn't even mean

01:08:28.940 to find this place

01:08:29.660 where I remembered

01:08:30.260 because I was just driving

01:08:30.880 to it based on memory,

01:08:32.120 a small Asian specialty shop

01:08:33.760 where I would sometimes

01:08:34.300 go to pick stuff up

01:08:34.980 but it was hard

01:08:35.380 because I'd always

01:08:35.800 take those three things.

01:08:36.800 It was about the sign

01:08:37.520 of like a small

01:08:38.120 local grocery store.

01:08:39.240 You drive in

01:08:40.240 and there's this new store here

01:08:42.260 because we actually

01:08:43.060 drove into the wrong area

01:08:44.340 when we ended up seeing this

01:08:45.400 because I put the wrong thing

01:08:46.440 on just looking

01:08:46.940 for the other thing.

01:08:48.620 This place is the size

01:08:50.580 of a BJ's or a Costco.

01:08:53.100 It's enormous

01:08:53.980 and people are like,

01:08:55.060 oh, if you're in rural America,

01:08:56.620 you can't get the good.

01:08:57.460 No, rural America,

01:08:58.660 you wouldn't get this

01:08:59.460 in a big city.

01:09:00.000 You'd get nothing like this

01:09:00.980 in New York or San Francisco

01:09:02.080 or anything like that

01:09:02.680 because there's just

01:09:03.100 not enough room.

01:09:04.980 Anyway, love you to death, Simone.

01:09:07.800 If you live in our area,

01:09:09.180 ask us about this place,

01:09:10.640 especially if you like

01:09:11.700 any sort of Asian food.

01:09:13.040 They've imported

01:09:13.740 all the cookies,

01:09:15.060 all the snack,

01:09:16.600 the chips.

01:09:17.820 They have brands

01:09:18.740 of Doritos

01:09:19.280 that you couldn't possibly

01:09:20.660 get in the United States

01:09:21.700 because they're imported

01:09:23.340 brands that are like

01:09:24.940 pork flavored,

01:09:26.220 Doritos.

01:09:27.020 It's amazing.

01:09:28.040 If you want your

01:09:28.660 fresh jellyfish,

01:09:29.640 this is where you get them.

01:09:31.020 Yeah, you actually can.

01:09:33.840 Oh my gosh.

01:09:34.560 It's just the best.

01:09:35.240 It's the best.

01:09:35.620 You can get fresh dragon fruit.

01:09:36.980 I mean, you can get that

01:09:37.660 at Whole Foods too,

01:09:38.340 but not at Whole Foods.

01:09:38.920 Even their produce

01:09:40.080 is like weirdly fresh.

01:09:41.960 Oh, their produce

01:09:42.800 is amazing.

01:09:43.920 I don't know how they pour.

01:09:45.460 It is just,

01:09:46.080 it is the best.

01:09:46.760 It feels like,

01:09:49.100 like we're always afraid

01:09:50.400 it's going to disappear

01:09:51.080 like this,

01:09:51.940 some kind of...

01:09:52.360 It feels magical.

01:09:54.720 I do not know

01:09:55.340 how it appeared

01:09:56.240 randomly one day

01:09:57.140 when we weren't

01:09:58.140 looking for it.

01:09:59.520 And we really needed

01:10:00.900 tons of Asian food

01:10:01.820 that day

01:10:02.180 because that was the day

01:10:03.020 where you decided

01:10:03.440 you were going to learn

01:10:03.920 to cook me

01:10:04.260 all the Asian dishes I liked.

01:10:05.780 And we got it.

01:10:06.620 We got it all.

01:10:07.740 All right.

01:10:08.020 Love you.

01:10:08.640 Love you too.

01:10:09.240 Bye.

01:10:12.520 So, Savannah,

01:10:13.240 I know,

01:10:13.460 have you seen

01:10:13.860 these anti-Trump protests

01:10:15.080 in LA?

01:10:16.520 In LA?

01:10:16.960 Yeah.

01:10:17.680 Yeah,

01:10:17.960 everyone's going out

01:10:18.980 with, you know,

01:10:19.600 Mexican flags

01:10:20.460 to protest

01:10:21.680 being deported,

01:10:23.360 which I don't get.

01:10:24.880 Can you explain this to me?

01:10:26.360 This look is like,

01:10:28.460 wait, wait, wait.

01:10:29.340 So you're mad

01:10:30.560 that we are taking you

01:10:32.220 from the United States,

01:10:33.160 which apparently

01:10:33.580 we have made so good

01:10:34.640 that you don't want

01:10:35.640 to be in Mexico.

01:10:37.180 You came here

01:10:39.080 illegally

01:10:41.160 and you're protesting us

01:10:42.880 sending you back

01:10:43.960 to Mexico

01:10:44.760 with a Mexican flag.

01:10:47.160 Yeah.

01:10:49.580 Explain this to me.

01:10:52.600 Maybe they are

01:10:53.740 getting hyped for Mexico,

01:10:55.320 which would be good.

01:10:55.600 Getting hyped

01:10:56.100 for their journey home.

01:10:57.240 All expenses paid.

01:11:00.940 If it's like the Colombians,

01:11:02.640 the presidential plane

01:11:03.620 will come fly them back.

01:11:04.720 Well, maybe that's,

01:11:05.540 maybe they're trying

01:11:06.140 to get Mexico

01:11:06.800 to be a little more patriotic

01:11:08.220 and get nicer planes for them.

01:11:09.920 I mean, it's good.

01:11:10.960 Lobby for

01:11:11.460 slightly better

01:11:12.880 flight conditions.

01:11:16.160 So that would be,

01:11:16.780 that would be good.

01:11:17.900 All right.

01:11:18.360 So I'll get started here.

01:11:19.260 Thank you.
