The Trump Administration has started a far-ranging war against the once-obscure agency of USAID. Why has USAID become a target, and what should it be remade into?

Joining us now is Mike Benz, who is the expert on all things disinformation, USAID. First, Mike, are you feeling better? It seems like you were down for the count for quite some time.
Yeah, yeah. No, earlier, I think, right after inauguration, I was a little bit walloped by a flu. But we are... You know, sunlight is a disinfectant that evidently cleans up not just institutions, but viruses.
Well, you were probably poisoned by a bioweapon funded by USAID. So with that segue, what is USAID? We have the full hour, Mike. You have so much to say about this. I'm not going to interrupt you. The floor is yours.
Yeah, well, USAID is... the probably the dirtiest standalone institution in the American government because it's allowed to be and because it's the ideal place to creatively structure the absolute worst kinds of activities that you could not get away with directly either at the State Department, the Defense Department, or the CIA. And so let's just talk about what USAID is supposed to do.
So USAID is supposed to be a humanitarian NGO sponsor that makes the world a better place, but in the process advances U.S. foreign policy. So American foreign policy, you can think of that as management of the American empire, right?
