And now they create it in a conflict, and that's what they have to deal with because now the suspicion has a reasonable basis. Nobody has any problem with cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. Literally, the acronym WFA is part of everybody's political science handbook in messaging. They just say WFA, and you know they mean waste, fraud, and abuse. It just never really happens.
And I have no problem with this list of things. If you don't like them, that's fine. But the idea that this is the big nut Everything that they've listed so far from USAID is less than half a percent of its budget. So that's why Marco Rubio came out and said, hey, USAID matters. There's certain things that equate with soft power. But, you know, even this time, he wants more control over this.
He doesn't want Elon to just shut USAID because as secretary of state, you want the power of some money for soft power. So, you know, I think you just got to be careful about the extremes. But the concept of let's go through it and let the people, you know, feel and let political judgments be made. No one's going to have a problem.
Because Elon works for the Republicans. If Biden had done this with Bill Gates, Republicans would be going crazy. Vinny, there is an immutable truth here that everybody has to get their hands around. If you think one party is better than the other when it comes to playing to advantage, then you are being sold by the game.
The hole we'd be going in would be done.
I don't know, but you guys would be very upset. I know that much.
How come the Epstein files aren't one of the things that are being exposed, by the way, along with JFK and Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King's deaths? How come they're not releasing Epstein?
They're going one at a time.
I think people make choices about what matters to them and what doesn't matter to them. And I don't disagree. I'm not being skeptical of it because, look, my problem with skepticism is it's the lowest form of intelligence. So you now have to take a couple more steps. Is Gates right that millions could die? It's a possibility. It's not a probability. Why?
Because you're doing the things with the mosquito nets and the AIDS and the malaria and all these different things that fall under USAID. I get it. Things could be worse in situations. The mistake is making it like there's a right and a wrong. There's a preference. And they are legitimate political questions. And if Trump wants to go through this, fine. How Musk does it is worthy of scrutiny.
The first thing that should have happened that didn't happen, that would have been very helpful... Musk should have done personally what he's doing with these agencies. What money do you get from the government? What are your relationships? What information are you accessing? And what does that mean to your businesses? That's my only concern about Elon is I don't want him. I don't know him.
I'm not judging him. But you're giving a private citizen access to information. and dynamics when they are in the business of information and those same dynamics. That's all. So I just think he has to be transparent.
Because they lost to somebody they thought they were told. Democrats were told they were going to win. And people get really angry. I disagree.
I have no idea. I doesn't it's not a relevant metric to me. The metric would be go through it line by line. Yeah. And then prove me wrong, because I think that Democrats and Republicans have contributed to their budget since 1961. So you're going to have to look at it and you can go through it. And I don't have any problem with any of that. Yeah. I do think, look, there's always politics at play.
The idea that, you know, Trump was there 2016, 2020. OK, what? There was no waste, fraud and abuse there at USAID. So the idea that this is new.
He went in there saying he was going to drain the swamp. He was going to do exactly what he's doing now.
So Stephen A. said something great on Bill Maher the other day. The truth is rarely easy for everybody to hear. He said, for all of these people trying to wonder how you could vote for someone like Donald Trump, change the question. The question is, what does it tell you that more people in America saw Donald Trump, for all we know about him, as closer to normal than the Democrats?
That's the question you have to be asking. And once you ask that, a lot of things start to be very clear to you. This issue, OK, what's the strength of this issue? It is a common sense vibe, not just for girl dads. You know, I mean, you and I are girl dads, but I don't think you have to be. You don't want somebody like you or like me playing against a female. OK, that's a no brainer.
The Democrats miss that because of what? The nuances of the issue. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than playing against a transgender female athlete. That this is a very bullied class of people and the last thing they need is more pressure on them as being a problem. Those are fair points, but they don't remove the common sense aspect of what this is.
And if it happens so rarely, then don't worry about the prohibition then. Because you're not really affecting that many people anyway. So you might as well do what seems to be common sense to the majority of the country. That's what this issue is about. And the left found itself in a dynamic that we've seen the right in also. This is the problem with the binary system.
