U2 frontman Bono claimed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast the Trump administration’s disbandment of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was responsible for some 300,000 associated deaths.
Host Rogan and Elon Musk were quick to disabuse the Irish singer of his mass-casualty claim.
“This will f— you off,” Bono warned, claiming tens of thousands of tons of food are “rotting” in warehouses from Djibouti to Houston because of recent USAID cuts and those running the warehouses have been let go, as FOX News writer Jasmine Baehr reported.
“What is that? That’s not America, is it?”
Rogan responded.
“They’re throwing the baby out with the bathwater,” he said while adding there were aid groups that delivered good work the USAID system has been riddled with corruption and needed to go.
“For sure, it was a money laundering operation. For sure, there was no oversight. … Trillions that are unaccounted for.”

You would notice 300,000 deaths in just 4 months
Wait why doesn’t Ireland take up where USAID left off ,LOL
If this were true, Bono is essentially arguing that the US needs to spend $100 million dollars per life saved.
That’s a lot of lives lost in America to create that amount of wealth to spend in the third world.
Quite.
Obviously.

“Looks like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will say anything to get support for President Obama’s $900 billion stimulus package.
Pelosi publicly stated that “every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”
It’s the Stupid party that Mike Judge lampooned in the movie Idiocracy.
They revere cretins like Bono, Michael Moore and algore.
Really? So we send fresh fruits, meats, and vegetables by container ship across thousands of miles to rot before it's distributed. Even USAID wouldn't be dumb enough to send perishables for aid distribution. Bono talking out of his a$$ because his head knows better.
Bono the giant turd.
This arrogant millionaire a$$hole is part of the resson South Africa is now a genocidal $**thole.
“I YI YI YI... AIN’T GONNA PLAY SUN CITY!”
Cuz everynody needs rockstars running their faceholes - in pink sunglasses.
Musta been painful for Bono pulling that WOPPER out of his ass.
Bono=dumbass. Unless you want to apply the old “if a butterfly stirs the air by flapping it’s wings and down the line a hurricane results” line of 💩. I choose dumbass.
Maybe Boner can take his tax savings from sheltering is income and donate. He can’t be too long for the world. We’ll looks it. He doesn’t need it. Right Boner.
The media fawn over this guy (Bono) as if he is some kind of God/Hero and expert when it comes to his favorite lefty causes - demanding the US pay the way for 3rd world countries and “open its wallet.”
He usually only talks to lefty media outlets that share his lefty vision lest he be questioned on his expertise, experience and knowledge of the causes he promotes - and thinks we Americans should unquestioningly fund.
Good for Joe Rogan. Hope Bono f’s-off (the “f” word being one of Bono’s favorite words) back to Ireland and shuts up.
Well framed point!
What’s a “Bono”? Something a young kid gets after viewing girly pics? Shorthand for “bonehead”? What a typical leftist low-IQ, even lower T turd.
Rock stars. Is there anything they don’t know.
Homer Simpson
All Breitbart cares about today is riots in France
Why doesn’t the Boner get off his butt and start ordering pizzas, street tacos and nachos for all his friends in Afrika? It isn’t the American taxpayers’ job to feed a whole friggin’ continent. Who the hell fed them before 1776? We’re already feeding 45.76 million of them here in America as it is. Time for Europe and Asia to start spreading some groceries!
Is Bono still incorporated in The Netherlands so he doesn’t have to pay Irish taxes?
