I'm wondering where all the leaders of African countries have been this week or or, you know, low income Central Asian or Western Hemisphere countries are. Why do why are they all either silent or like in the case of El Salvador, relieved that this is happening? None of them are getting the money. In fact, many times USAID is forced on them as a condition.

Yeah. Right. Oftentimes, USAID institutions are forced into their country or forced into different regions in their country as as part of a compliance measure that the State Department is imposing. You know, you need to have a certain level of human rights, you know, you know, monitoring or, you know, you're.

your water levels have to have this, you know, certain percent purity or you need to be able to maintain, you know, this, you know, your energy development has to be this consistent with climate change or else, you know, we're going to, you know,

destroy you in the in the you know with the with our trade relations or we're going to put sanctions on you unless you put our humanitarian aid organs in there and so boom just like that under the banner of aid we're in control of your energy infrastructure we're in control of your river systems yeah so you know i i think the reason that the only people that we really see who are

destroy you in the in the you know with the with our trade relations or we're going to put sanctions on you unless you put our humanitarian aid organs in there and so boom just like that under the banner of aid we're in control of your energy infrastructure we're in control of your river systems yeah so you know i i think the reason that the only people that we really see who are

Who are defending USAID right now are people here in the United States or in NATO that are directly or indirectly on the take or their or their donors or constituents are.

Well, that's why I said donors and constituents. Right. Because those are like think about the congressman in those representing those districts. And, you know, you see that. That's exactly right. It's our own, you know, it's our own economies.

And then, you know, the point I was making earlier is that, you know, you are going to have this sort of follow-on, trickle-down economic impact if many of our multinational corporations who form the bedrock of our, you know, stock exchanges and corporations Chamber of Commerce, if the dirty deeds that USAID does are cut out, are they still going to have as – will that impact their profitability?

And so that's why I want to spend the time in the beginning just talking about that tension because – In the oil and gas case, like Trump has a plan around that drill baby drill, right? Like, you know, we might not need to fund transgender dance festivals in order to, you know, like you go to the CIA world book, you know, everyone go on CIA.gov and just look at every country.
