  • Joe Rogan podcast.

  • Check it out.

  • The Joe Rogan Experience.

  • Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

  • Good to see you.

  • Great to see you.

  • I've been looking forward to this one.

  • Me too.

  • All night.

  • I was like, tomorrow's gonna be a good one for you.

  • It must have been very exciting to have the vault opened and to get a peek into the machine, because you've been describing this.

  • The last time you were on the podcast, you went into depth about usaid, and it's very curious why they chose USAID as the first organization for DOGE to investigate.

  • Because it seems like they were the ones that resisted the most.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, you know, the joke that I tell here is, it's like what they tell you to do your first day of prison is you go in, you walk up to the meanest, baddest SOB and you punch them right in the mouth.

  • I mean, that's basically what's happened here with the White House's first target being usaid.

  • Because USAID opens up the entire world of the Blob, the foreign policy establishment and its weaponization of what are supposed to be foreign facing Department of dirty tricks operations against domestic opponents.

  • And when it all got opened and you started to see the numbers and the different organizations and NGOs that were getting them, was anything surprising to you or was this all what you expected?

  • No.
