Summary

In today's episode, we go over President Trump's shutting down of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, after Elon Musk's DOGE discovered rampant misuse of taxpayer money. Despite their role of providing global humanitarian and disaster assistance, they've been sending our tax dollars to DEI training in Serbia, among other, far more ridiculous things. We also go over World Relief and other NGOs taking advantage of government funding to promote illegal immigration in the United States. And in some culture news, producer Bri went to the Grammys over the weekend, and we go over the silly celebrity speeches and review our favorite red carpet looks.

0:30.0	The Trump administration is reorganizing and dismantling the United States Agency of International Development and has also frozen the funds of an evangelical
0:43.0	nonprofit organization called World Relief. This has a lot of people in a tizzy. But what are these
0:50.1	entities really? Are they truly serving their mission mission are they advancing the interests of the
0:55.6	american people and the taxpayers that are funding them we've got the answer to that and we are
1:02.8	also getting into some grammy's moments with producer brey who was actually there yes this a long episode, but it is a good and a thorough

1:45.2	Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. I hope everyone is staying healthy. It seems like everyone is getting sick. And whatever bug is floating around has hit my family, Chief Relatorbrough and I are safe right now, but our kids were hit with it.
1:53.6	And it's, I'm sure a lot of you have experienced it. It's maybe the flu. It's also similar to COVID. I remember when we got COVID for the first time at the beginning of 2021. It's kind of like

2:02.1	almost the other side that at least for us and the families, I know, it was a good five-day
2:09.0	virus. Five days is a long time to have a virus. I'm thinking like 48 hours, maybe a little more
2:16.6	than that for your typical virus. This seems to last a while.
2:20.6	I'm sure it depends on the person and all of that, but my kids very rarely get sick.
2:26.3	And this has dragged on longer than I anticipated. And for us, the symptoms so far have really just been fever kind of achy like a headache but
