We're spending 50, $100 billion, way more than the USAID budget in Afghanistan or Sudan. So please don't say we don't have the money for it when we always have money for war. Well, first of all, that money goes to support and protect the American people and our interests around the world. And I didn't say we wouldn't get into any wars. What I said was the same thing Donald Trump said. Trump said no more wars. That's what he said. (25:25–25:31)
