The debate is, should Elon Musk have sent a bunch of 20-year-olds with no qualifications or expertise into USAID to gut the department overnight?
I think Musk's words were, I fed it into the wood chipper this weekend while you were all out partying to cut off aid overnight, to leave USAID officials and diplomats and aid workers stuck in foreign countries.
Some of them had to be...
YOU KNOW, HELICOPTERED OUT BECAUSE SUDDENLY ALL THE FUNDING GOT CUT OFF, THEIR LAPTOPS GOT SHUT DOWN, AND PEOPLE DID LOSE ACCESS TO AID OVERNIGHT IN SOUP KITCHENS AND IN AID CLINICS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
NICK CHRISTOPH OF THE TIMES WENT AND GOT NAMES OF CHILDREN WHO DIED, AND HE GAVE THEM TO ELON MUSK, AND MUSK KEEPS IGNORING IT.
MUSK KEEPS SAYING, THERE ARE NO KIDS.
WHERE ARE THE KIDS WHO DIED?
gave him a list publicly.
And Musk, of course, ignored it.
And the academic evidence does suggest from multiple sources, including the Lancet Medical Journal, that millions of kids will die, that tens of thousands of children have already died as a result of these Trump-Musk doge cuts.
And that's the real issue.
By the way, to say we don't have money for it, Hogan, how much are we spending on this Iran war that you promised we wouldn't have, that your president and you said during 2024, no more wars?
We're spending $50, $100 billion.
We're
way more than the USAID budget in Afghanistan or Sudan.
So please don't say we don't have the money for it when we always have money for war.
Trump said no more wars.
Those were his words.
He said no more wars.
So, you know, there's the famous phrase, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.
