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.
Ben 1:35
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.
Charlie Kirk 1:54
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.
Ben 2:10
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? We have an American homeland where we live and we have an American empire where which is where we have our import export markets.
Ben 3:07
It's where we extract critical natural resources. It's the basis of our national security and where we put our military bases. It is what makes the American homeland rich. is that we have a huge amount of influence over the course of internal events that happen throughout the rest of the world. And that is made possible in large part by USAID. That is what USAID is supposed to do. Basically make us richer, make us more safe, um, you know, make, make us have more control over the, uh, affairs in foreign countries. But at the same time, uh, be a plucky group of cherubic warriors who are making the world a better place along the way. That's sort of the idea behind it. But just to make that clear, there's no aid in USAID.
Ben 4:04
The aid that you see visually with your eyes there is designed to fool you. It's the Agency for International Development. not aid, and international development is development of institutions, development of assets. The money goes to groups, not to people. These are not, you know, it doesn't go directly to the people that a grant will say that it serves. It goes to the groups administering it. which allows USAID to be the way to capacity build assets that the CIA or the State Department or the Defense Department want to pump up in order to carry out activity in a region.
