New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof spoke to Tim Miller on a recent episode of the Bulwark podcast and chronicled his reporting from Africa on Elon Musk’s DOGE shutting down USAID.
Kristof wrote several heavily reported columns on the toll the shutdown took on some of the poorest areas of Africa, and he relayed some of the horror stories to Miller. Miller asked Kristof to go into detail about how he traveled around South Sudan and met with locals.
