Description

The Trump administration and billionaire ally Elon Musk moved to shutter USAID, an agency supporters say provides crucial aid to fund education and fight starvation overseas but critics argue is little more than a front for the CIA, sparking a showdown with congressional Democrats who blasted the effort as illegal and vowed a court fight. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss USAID’s history and how its application of “soft power” serves to prop up pro-US elements in foreign countries, frequently undermining democracy.

USAID sent $178B in "aid" to Ukraine. Zelensky just confirmed that they didn't see any of a $100B of that money. Let that sink in.

Oh my God! My head is spinning. I never heard of this organization because I was too busy working my butt off for the past 45 years to pay my TAXES to fund this criminal organization.

This is eye opening. But half of the country wishes to keep their eyes closed.
