If you knew the damage they've 33 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 7: caused in Africa with Africa Aid being taken away, I 34 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 7: mean really simple stuff. Yeah, like just Mosquito Netts. Do 35 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 7: you know what the medical assistance to Africa? And they 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 7: don't care. Project twenty twenty five doesn't care. I'm really 37 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 7: afraid of this administration's people. And I'm gonna tell you something, man, 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 7: it's this is my honest opinion, it's the people around 39 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 7: Donald Trump that are the most dangerous because I think 40 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 7: they play, you know, they play on the fact that 41 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 7: we support you, and they know he loves that. 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: But in saying we support you. 43 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 7: They are allowed to enact their policies around him. 44 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: And that's the danger man. 45 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 7: Project twenty twenty five came from this one guy who 46 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 7: sat on Donald Trump's plane and promised him his support, 47 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 7: and that's how he got it in and we're dealing 48 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 7: with Project twenty twenty five. Yeah, that's I'm just afraid 49 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 7: that this no aid to these countries are gonna help. 50 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 7: We were so slow in helping Puerto Rico. 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: I just we're the most powerful country in the world. 52 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 6: There's no way that some of this islands and the 53 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 6: richest in the Caribbean can rebuild without international support. 54 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 5: There's just no way. That's no way. 55 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 7: But you know, Carla, the reason you're considered the most 56 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 7: powerful nation in the world is because you've extended the 57 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 7: arm of aid and built allies around the world. Once 58 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 7: you start thinking you don't need other people, you don't. 59 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 2: Get to be big as you were. You just don't. 60 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of ill will. 61 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 7: Towards America right now because of their unwillingness to continue 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 7: being a source of aid that they've been for so long. 63 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: I feel like America is and I see you on life. 64 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: That's what it is about. And the beef is fading away bad. 65 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 7: You know, I think you're right, and you know, the 66 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 7: whole the whole thing of make America great again. 67 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: They didn't understand. 68 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 7: Or then complete denial of how America was built in 69 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 7: the first place. Yeah, America was built on free label. Yeah, 70 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 7: exactly how they got into the eco industrial revolution with 71 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 7: money because they had free label. 72 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. 73 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 7: And America, Europeans, all of they've built nothing of their own. 74 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 7: Take some somebody else already got men say is yours? 75 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 7: And then and then and yeah, and then act like 76 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 7: you didn't take it, like you've been there the whole. 77 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 2: Time, mad by. 78 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 7: Right and now LESSI race to history.
