Fmr. USAID Lead on Cuts: “Millions Affected Abroad and Now Millions at Home”

USAID, America's humanitarian and development agency, has been largely dismantled in the name of government efficiency. The consequences around the world are real, even fatal. Dr. Atul Gawande is a physician and former Assistant Administrator of Global Health at USAID. Gawande recently visited Kenya to see the consequences of DOGE's cuts firsthand. He joins Hari to describe what he saw.
