- Rachel Maddow looks at how Donald Trump's attack on USAID has sparked a widespread backlash, including from within his own party, as people speak out for the agency's mission and workers, as well as the economic ties in some parts of American to specific USAID programs, all of which Trump appears to have assumed no one cares about.

The question is: are there any republicans willing to do their job rather than remain scared of keeping their job?
Nope. We saw that already.
NickDusting .... Not even one.
Let's hope so that at least some of the GOP are willing...
No!

They need to start thinking their constituents are a bigger problem for them than their broken party is. If that happens, they'll break.
It's like we are under attack by all of the cartoon villains at once.

The Kansas farmer situation is a prime example of “then they will come for you.” Who did you vote for Kansas?
Kansas, where there's also a huge TB outbreak underway (now spreading to Ohio), definitely voted for the orange cult leader who just fired all the government scientists working on that problem.
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 And you know what? The TB outbreak is in the Kanas City, KS area which is run by democrats. There is a huge community of Hispanic immigrants there and who knows how many are there illegally. There are no reports of drug-resistant TB have been identified.
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 yeah TB comes from where? foreign countries that biden had no interest in vetting or countries that don't share info so let them in anyway!!! TB symptoms take weeks. this is on guatkamala.
@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531, maybe they did, but I dare say most except to the most divisible, diabolical, destructive (and some still in denial) MAGA are still 100% all in. They, too, have seen their Medicaid $ not arrive. They too, are terrified of no SNAP, no WIC, no FQ Health Clinics, no help with electric, no gas during this winter. No FEMA; devastating spring tornadoes will be coming shortly. And food? Crops are rotting in the fields of FL right now. Kansas may be stuck with all of those unsold crops and they are not the only farm state with that problem. Now we have deadly bird flu which has crossed from bird (think chickens and eggs) to cows (think beef and milk products) to humans, already. Add in deadly TB which is already in many if not all states in small numbers. And Ebola. There is now also no way for health professionals to train, to access notes, emails, manuals in the US because some really stupid, hare-brained people decided they were smarter than professionals! This was/is not the ‘everyday you-and-me’ people.
If this had happened in any country like Russia, China, Australia the US would be laughing, pointing fingers and saying ‘see, that’s why we have the guardrails of democracy’. We would be putting up protections between us and other countries. Instead, we have countries pitying us, keeping us at arms length, and it would serve some in our country right to be ‘persona non grata’ here and around the world (politicians). Instead of being strong and doing the morally ‘right’ things, they are still stuck to *rumps jacket tail. I can’t help but hope they all go down, broke and with no good reputations. They have sold out their own constituent’s best interests! I& it gets much worse, expect an exodus of the politicians to other countries. I hope they are banned from every other country!
Who will be left? Most of us middle to lower class everyday people who just wanted to live our lives as best we could. Republicans and Democrats and anything in between, left without much of anything.
wait til the cows start getting bird flu. oh and btw the reporting sites are offline, so you won't even know how many people are getting sick. but you have a saviour in a former heroin addict quite literallly missing parts of his brain
As a travel nurse. Hearing what can potentially happen in America if Ebola & other serious diseases hit American, gives me PTSD.

His arm of limbs is offensive.
"All at once" - Thats the core strategy of Machiavelli, a political strategist in Florence working for the Medici family, all well-known rich merchant family of the middle ages. He wrote in his book 'il principe' (which translates to the prince or the count) that if you are taking over a land and have to get rid of the former leader and its associates, do it quick and brutal. Because the people don´t like to get afraid by cruelty over weeks or months. So plan your actions and work through them quick and precise. People then will forget fast about the former leader and are eager to follow the new one.
I hope I could open your eyes a little to see how in fact not stupid but dangerous this whole situation is for the US.

The user is talking about representatives from Doge gaining access to Medicaid and Medicare payment systems. That's a serious claim because those are major US healthcare programs. But Doge is a cryptocurrency, right? So maybe Doge representatives refer to people associated with Dogecoin? But why would they have access to government healthcare systems? That doesn't make much sense. Maybe there's a misunderstanding or a mistranslation here.
The next part mentions access to contract information of health services. If that's the case, this could be a data breach or unauthorized access, which is a big deal. Then there's a part about services that don't act in line with the human image formula "BewustZijn =x.r.(NU(t)-x)" being punished. The formula looks like some kind of equation, maybe from a philosophical or theoretical model. "BewustZijn" is Dutch for "Consciousness," so the formula is Consciousness = x.r.(NU(t) - x). Not sure what that represents. Maybe it's a metaphor or a specific model the user is referring to?
The user might be mixing real events with fictional or speculative concepts. The mention of punishment for not aligning with this consciousness model suggests some sort of enforcement based on adherence to a particular ideology or framework. But how does that tie into Doge accessing Medicaid/Medicare? Maybe it's a hypothetical scenario or part of a story?

Look how our allies like Canada 🇨🇦 are being treated and threatened with becoming the 51st State!
They are our friends!
These are the truths!!

I am just watching and waiting to see the end result of what's going
I never understood how countries governments could fall apart in just a few days. Then came destruction of buildings, and then came the loss of life. EASY TO UNDERSTAND NOW!!!
USAID can do that.
How? Cause of ignorant dheads like you who believe all the lies and bs being fed ti you?
It's called the Biden era.
It never happens overnight. The many warnings a civilization gets are always ignored. How quickly they forget. America already saw who DJT was through his 1st term. 1 million people dead from the Trump administration's slow response to a deadly virus. But after a million issues they still voted him back in. How quickly they forgot. So now they deserve everything they have coming. It's only sad that so many others will suffer along with his MAGA supporters
@@joehackney1376 what like the blm protests destroying everything then covid….
This is worse than a terrifying Bond movie. Even we’re terrified in the UK.
I’m in the UK but I’m not terrified I find it highly entertaining , best comedy in years watching an orange oaf jumping all over the place making a fool of himself and his country .
Why is exposing waste & fraud terrifying?
@@RobertWilson-jb4xwyes, it's not terrifying, but neither is it a comedy. For me it is disbelief that the American people have so allowed themselves to be duped by a moronic criminal of little intelligence and zero social value! There will be a way out of this for the USA but it will be bloody, and painful for the nation. It may involve actions as illegal as those of the Trump government; fight fire with fire comes to mind. America, you are effectively on a war footing against the fascists who have taken over your nation! If you remember the last time you had to deal with fascists, you knew what you had to do and it cost thousands of lives worldwide to restore some kind of world order. Just get stuck in and repair the damage you have done to your own country by believing the oligarch gluttons.

USAID has helped a large number of people in Pakistan to defeat Tuberculosis. These are the people who couldn't have afforded a TB treatment with USAID intervention.
Pakistan can pay for their citizens healthcare themselves going forward. They have a lot of military spending and spending on islam, mosquees etc. they can cut down on to boost healthcare.
USAID also keep the dictators intact. USAID is the most corrupt, and rarely help the people. In Africa, they donate expired food and medicine. The wheat they send to drought affected areas will be sold back to buy arms
@@NerdsBane007 so why are we spending 35 million in Pakistan for gender studies? Why not just help with tuberculosis?
It's all BS. Trump had those numbers at the lowest numbers. Biden/USAID had the highest numbers ever recorded. Waste of money.

Rachel Maddow is a true American Patriot… thank you. We’ve tuned in every night because you are so informative. 🇺🇸
USAID isn’t charity. The DOD has entire conferences about how USAID serves America’s strategic interests. The people who carry out the programs may be the types who want to help people, but the people in Congress who put these programs in place and the military people who advocated for these programs are not bleeding heart liberals. They do this because it helps project America’s power abroad and helps maintain stability in numerous countries that would become problematic otherwise.
People like Trump and Musk have no idea what they’re doing. They just see what they consider to be “charity” going to other countries and don’t understand the knock on effects at home and abroad. We are being governed by morons.
And Trump knows where that money really goes. Why did USAID fund the Wuhan Lab and the coup in Ukraine? Are these Bidens strategic interests?
YES! Thank you! Americans don’t really think about starving brown/black people everyday, but they should care about USAID’s STRATEGIC interests.

I have a dear cousin whose eldest son took over her ex husband’s family’s farming business. I couldn’t be more proud of him for the hard work he puts forth 365 days a year to feed us on this planet. If Farm Aid takes place this year, it will be the 40th anniversary celebration. Probably one of the most unsung professions on the planet, but immensely important!
What farmer works every day of the year?
Farmers today work a total of about three months a year unless they are a small operation of which there isn't to many anymore.
@@reedsilvesan2197 I grew up on a dairy farm, we worked every day of the week, every day of the year. Farming is a full time job. there are animals to take care of, there is land to maintain. You don't just sow a crop and sit down while it grows, or put cows into a field and forget about them
@@reedsilvesan2197
Dairy, chicken, hog farmers work all year round.
But the big question is…did he vote for Trump? Almost every farmer in my State did. For years the farmers have always voted for Republicans and it’s been devastating to them every time!
@@reedsilvesan2197
Farmers who raise dairy and beef cattle, chickens, turkeys, hogs - all animal related farming - those farmers work 365 days a year ... believe me!

I've never watched this channel before. This lady is very impressive. I'll definitely watch again.
She's one of the best. I've been watching her for quite some time from Europe.
She is a proper journalist - informed, clear, and unafraid.
She earned her Ph.D from Oxford.
You'll love her. Especially when she does a deep dive & gives historical context & compares it to modern day problems
She could run for President!
Rachel you are the best at giving useful information. Keep doing what you do. You are greatly appreciated
You're joking right? I supposed you believed her Russia, Russia, Russia lies.

Disgraceful is the way that MSNBC is spinning cutting government waste as a bad thing
We the American people would love to know where the money is really going.
Recently heard that developers have created a missile that fires it's own missile.🙄
I agree with you; however, there are better ways of finding where the money is going than to do the massive damage they have done to USAID.
Get the list it's shocking
All it would take is a little research on your part. Government spending is public knowledge. There are several websites where you can track it

@@karenneill9109 that's terrible. we were musing about the covid "statistical overmortality" that can be directly assigned to Trump's mismanagement of the crisis. One can discuss methodology at length, but that is a technical discussion about tens of thousands v hundreds of thousands. My point being that, even if it were as low as a few dozen, this is not a guy who should lead again.
But then it hit me: the dead don't vote.
It’s so great having Rachel Maddow back every night during this time of insanity. I love her❤️
Psychological support?
Why didn't Madcow mention that USAID funded the Wuhan Lab making the bug/virus? Or, why wasn't it mentioned that the USAID funded the coup in Ukraine back in 2014?
I would not be surprised if Trump declares these protests as an "Insurrection" and applies a "Kent State Solution"
So Kansas farmers: who did you vote for again?
Thank you. Annnnd, they still don't get it. Sad.
Most of them voted against their own best interests AGAIN. They keep getting it wrong. They only got one thing right, as far as I know. In the summer of 2022, Kansans voted in favor of protecting the right to an abortion for their residents. Even though so many Kansans are Republican voters, they are fiercely independent and believe that they don't have the right to force their own beliefs on others. Imagine that!
Fight for our country! Thank you!

It's also not the Chinese taxpayer's responsibility to take care of a whole lot of African countries. But who do you think they will trade with in the future?
It was just the same with Brexit. People screaming "why should we pay money to other EU countries! Let's just keep it". And where are they now? Cut off from easy trade and a cheap workforce, prices rising exorbitantly and eliminating any money saved due to Brexit, in fact, losing money to it. Because the dumb person on the street couldn't grasp how membership benefits could outweigh the membership fees.

I work in development and what they don't realise, aside from the domestic farmers being angry at losing their sales, is that development is a really important aspect of US soft power. I worked for a UN agency called IFAD and I remember once there were a few aid recipients who even named their kids for the agency who gave them food! With the US stepping away from the rest of the world, China is going to take the place, and gradually there will be decentralization as other countries work together. I think the US veto of the UN security council votes over the Gaza genocide also really made people in the rest of the world feel like we don't want the US controlling the world any more.
China taking your place? Same China that was distributing plastic rice to Africa?
Ouch.
Yes. This. You see the same thing with the countries around the Sahara desert, where France has always been the one projecting economic, military and soft power. Now the French are pulling out, as France simply cannot afford to maintain this role anymore.
