Yeah, so USAID is another great example. Humanitarian aid, it was created for development and humanitarian aid. Where it really went off the rails is when humanitarian aid and development aid was turned into how do we infuse domestic political priorities into what we fund around the world?
So when it became a domestic political priority to take on transgender rights, now all of a sudden you've got programs by Americans couched as humanitarian or development aid In other countries around the world, in essence, they injected domestic political considerations into foreign aid. And the result is, you know, that has to be rolled back. So it's another example.

We're going to continue to do humanitarian aid. What we're not going to do is use humanitarian aid to spread a domestic ideological movement globally. We're not going to do that.

Yeah, well, let's start with the baseline. Okay, no one is entitled to a student visa to enter the United States. No one. It's not a constitutional right. It's not a law. Every day, consular officers on the ground in face-to-face interviews are denying people visas for all kinds of reasons.

Because we think you're going to overstay, because we think your family member is a member of a drug ring, whatever it may be. We deny visas every day all over the world. No one's entitled to a visa. Let's start with that. Because I hear some of this reporting out there, like if somehow... You're allowed to have a visa unless we can come up with a reason why you shouldn't have one.

That's not true. The burden of proof is the other way. Now, let's say you go to a window somewhere in the world and say, I wanna go to the United States to study at a university. And as part of that interview, it comes out, you think Hamas is actually a good group. We probably would not let you in. I would hope we wouldn't let you in, okay?

But let's say we don't ask you that question and you get into the US on a student visa and all of a sudden it becomes obvious, you think Hamas is a good group. well, then we should revoke your visa. In essence, if we'd learned things about you once you're here that would have caused us to deny you a visa when you were overseas, that's grounds for revocation.

It is not in the national interest of the United States. It's not in our foreign policy interest. It's not in our national security interest to invite people onto our university campuses who are not just going to go there to study physics or engineering, but who are also going to go there to foment movements that support revocation
