You see these statistics and you go, burn it down, salt the earth. We've been told from elementary school to our own media outlets here that we have a free and independent press and that there's no role for the government in the media. The media is independent from government. That's the difference between us and the Soviet Union and China is we have free and independent media.

They have state-run media. You know, that's what distinguishes a democracy from an autocracy. And I totally understand the impulse, and I believe as much as possible, reforms need to be implemented, criminal penalties need to be attached for violating it, treble damages for civil suits, even be able to sue the agencies if they don't do oversight of the NGOs who operate domestically.

But people who have not gone through their five stages of depression about the true extent of the USAID Truman Show... Before you proceed to the final evolution of these reforms, imagine a world where there's zero of that. Imagine a world where zero percent of media outlets or soft power hearts and minds work is sponsored by the U.S. government.

in Latin America, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East, North Africa, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Far East Asia, Eurasia. Imagine a world where there is zero influence whatsoever and other countries are not going to stop that, stop doing that work. We won elections doing this. And in doing so, we won favors for U.S.

But another problem is the MAGA movement, again, has not really had to deal with this dirty work abroad because the primary concern has been what's six inches in front of your face. My schools have this woke curricula. My infrastructure is crumbling. My kids can't afford to buy a home until they're 45 years old.

But the other part is that this mission statement of the blob to do this got corrupted as globalization destroyed the predicate for doing this dirty work in the first place. Okay, we overthrow the government of Chile for Pepsi. We overthrow the government of Iran for oil and gas.
