I sat down with
@joerogan for a conversation that took us from me movie, to me music from fighting to foreign aid and lots of places in between. Three hours in and we were somehow just getting started, but what can I say, I’m Irish… I don’t do full stops and commas… Joe, you’re a better listener… I must try harder.
But indulge me once more: as an activist, I’ve witnessed people die for the dumbest reasons - hunger when food was out of reach… disease when simple treatments were not available. I've also witnessed America come in like cavalry, especially in the fight against HIV/AIDS where you've saved 26 million lives and counting. I have never in all my years, until the last 3 months, witnessed medicines already paid for kept from the sick or dying, emergency food supplies left rotting in warehouses, bread kept out of the hands of chronically malnourished children whether Sudan, Gaza… so many trouble spots… all to score political points.
Even in divided times there are things we can all agree on. Thank you
@joerogan for listening to this Irishman share his thoughts on “God’s Country.”
