In a world filled with simplistic partisanship-driven binary thinking, USAID is either ONLY a good-hearted charitable organization OR an evil empire. Joe Rogan illustrates the proper balanced approach. Admit that USAID did many good things but also state that it also did many despicable things. For instance, it was a money-laundering pro-censorship organization that overturned democracies. I am convinced that USAID was DESIGNED to be a trojan horse (complete with a misleading name), publicly displaying do-gooderism while hiding hundreds of billions of dollars of evil-doing.

Bono:
Just recent report. It’s not proven, but the surveillance enough suggests 300,000 people have already died from just this cut off, this hard cut of USAID so there’s food rotting in boats, in warehouses. There is this, this, this will will fuck you off. This will not you will not be happy. No American will. But there is, I think it’s 50,000 tons of food that are stored in Djibouti, South Africa, Dubai, and wait for it, Houston, Texas, and that is rotting rather than going to Gaza, rather than going to Sudan, because the people who know the codes or for The warehouse are fired. They’re gone. And so this, I don’t know. I just it’s, I’m, what do you think? What? What? What is? What is that? That’s, that’s not America, is it?

Joe Rogan:
Well, they’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater, right, right? This is the problem. The problem is, for sure, there have been a lot of organizations that do tremendous good all throughout the world. Also, for sure, it was a money laundering operation. For sure there was no oversight. For sure, billions of dollars are missing. In fact, trillions that are unaccounted for, that were sent off into various they don’t even know where, because there’s no receipts, the way Elon Musk described that, he said, if any of this was done by a public company, the company would be delisted and the executives would be in prison. But in the United States, this is standard. When Biden left office, when it was clear that Trump won in the 73 days, they spent $93 billion from the Department of Energy on just radical loans, just throwing money into places, and there’s no no oversight, no receipts. Like the whole thing is, it’s there’s a lot of fraud, a lot of money laundering.
