Ep. 271 - Derailing the USAID Gravy Train
It’s time to play "find the missing billions”, and we’ve landed squarely on USAID, where sending condoms to Palestinians is just the tip of the taxpayer-funded iceberg. Watch Democrats clutch their pearls as Trump shuts down their favorite $40 billion playground, leaving countless gender studies programs in Peru wondering how they'll survive without American tax dollars. Our hosts break down how the woman running USAID couldn't explain to Rand Paul where all the money went - shocking absolutely no one. Plus, they explore Trump's bold plan to turn the Gaza Strip into the Mediterranean's hottest vacation destination. And stick around for a cautionary tale about why you should always keep your pants on during a Canadian bar fight. From government waste to frozen body parts, this episode has it all.
