Okay, let's talk a little bit about usaid, but let's go back in a time machine and show you the times that we have addressed them. Clearly on this program, we start, I think, back in 2012 or 2014. I have a picture here of an Al Qaeda leader and they are in a US Aid tent. Look who signed the check for the initial $200,000 payment to the Islamic Relief Agency, the United States Agency for International Development. The more you look into U.S. aid, the more shocked you will become. USAID was running a top secret espionage program to undermine Cuba and push people to dissent. Now, let me show you how much money we're talking about. It included a billion dollar sovereign loan guarantee, $320 million in general assistance. So where else beside the NIH has money been coming from. By far the largest donors are from USAID and the Department of Defense. Judicial Watch found that the U.S. state Department and USAID had been giving millions to the Macedonian arm of George Soros Open Society Foundation. What for? To train youth movements. So USAID and those are always. They're known by anybody who pays attention as CIA fronts. This is, you know, the USAID comes into a country, they start doing things, and next thing you know, we've got a revolution on our hands because that's the CIA. So we've been talking about this for years, and if you've been listening to us and watching our specials, you know all about usaid. But now, finally, finally it's being exposed. And Joni Ernst has been after them for quite a while. But they've been issuing threats. First, they wouldn't talk to her at all. And they were saying, no, we don't have a system to track a report. You know, any of this. Funny, she's like, wait a minute. You're not tracking any of the money that goes out. You have no way to track if it made a difference at all. That doesn't make any sense. Can you tell us the indirect costs? Can you tell us what you're spending to get that money? Remember, like Mercury one, we make a promise to you. Everything we raise during, you know, during a. You know, a problem, when we've got a hurricane or something, everything that I raise at that time, 100%, goes downstream to that problem. Can't be anything else. So how much money? You don't track that. Like every. Every charity in the world is required to track that. But you don't know. We don't. We don't do that. Then Ernst debunked this by sending USAID a link to a publicly reported database that shows that. They said, well, we. Yeah, okay, we track it, but we don't want to. You ready? We don't want to violate the Economic Espionage act or the Protection of Trade Secrets act or the Disclosure of Confirmat Confirmation Confidential Information Act. So we, you know, we can't do that. We have to protect our confidential business information. So they wouldn't talk about the partners. It wouldn't talk about anything. Nothing. So they. They launch an investigation. And again, USAID said, nope, we can't give you anything. Gosh darn it. We can't tell you about any of our partners or anything at all. Would we like to? We would love to. We just can't find a pencil. If we could just find a pencil, we could write it all down for you. Okay, so this has been going on for years. 1961, okay? This is a CIA operate operation. By the way, I told you last hour, the President just offered everyone in the CIA eight months severance if you leave now. If I had been involved in any black operation, I'd be panicking right now. If I were the guy who's like, look, I am not taking the fall for you, I'd be blowing the whistle right now. I might be going to my congressman going, hey, I got to tell you what they've been doing. Can I, Can I. Can you protect me? Because I'll give you all the goods on that. I would be doing that right now because they are going to open up. You know, when Elon Musk described USAID and he said, you know, when you have an apple and you have a worm in it, you get the worm out, but when you have a ball of worms, you throw it away. And he said, that's what it is. This is a ball of worms. Yeah. Yeah. And instead of focusing on that, the media and the left are focused on, how dare you shut down this agency. I know, I know. Who are you to do that, by the way? We found with this, according to Joni Ernst, with very limited data, they discovered that USA, USAID, spent anywhere from 50 to 60% on the indirect cost, which ranged from rent in Paris to a fancy dinner to entertain whomever. You'd be shut down just for that. Just 40%. 40 or 50% is going to your project. You'd shut that down. No one would donate to that. So how. Just, Just answer this. I love this. Because it couldn't happen to a nicer group of people. How. Where is your moral stand? How dare you expose this waste of taxpayer money. You know, if. If they've wasted $200,000, okay, on just one thing. You most likely your whole life will never pay 200, $300,000 in taxes. Your whole life, and it's just gone. They have wasted billions of dollars. And not just wasted it. This is going elsewhere. I said to you during the first. What was it, $50 billion that we're not sending accountants over to Ukraine to follow. I said that that's. This. This is a slush fund. This money is going elsewhere. This is not doing what. Otherwise, if you're responsible and you really believe that we needed to do these things, then you would have sent accountants with it to make sure in the most corrupt country in the world that it was going where we said, I think some of that money, you watch It'll come back. Some of that money, I think, came back to the United States and was paying for revolutionaries on the streets. I wouldn't doubt that USAID money was being used to. I don't know. Did they? I mean, I would think you would have to hire people to come out with Chuck Schumer on Monday after the weekend. And USAID is. Oh, man, they're tearing it down. That's like tearing down the Statue of Liberty. I gotta get into the streets. Who is saying I gotta get to Washington. A protest with Chuck Schumer. There is no moral leg to stand on here. Oh, I'm so mad. They're exposing this. Wait, wait, what? When they go after the treasury now and they say he has. He has no right to expose this. Wait, wait, wait. You are more upset that people are going in and exposing it than the fact that the treasury has rubber stamped every single pain that every single. What was it The IRS spent $300,000 a month on? Coffee cups. Coffee. Coffee cups. How much coffee do these damn people need? Let's buy them all ceramic mugs. I mean, I think we will, you know, wash it and reuse it. $300,000. What? A month. Come on. Come on. And you're. You're upset that that's been exposed. Me think not. And like you mentioned, it's been going on not just for a couple of years. It's been going on since 1961. Oh, I know, I know. And they're making a big deal out of the fact that this unelected agency is overseeing this and looking into it when it was just started by jfk. He just. He's. This was not started by Congress. It was codified later, but like in the late 90s by Congress. So. You know what I mean? Sacred organization that the founders set up. You know what I. You know what I think happened in the late 90s? Because I am convinced that Joe Biden learned how to steal from the United States and get money from allies and enemies, from Hillary and Bill Clinton. So I'll bet you usaid, they're like, nobody's watching this. Nobody is watching this store. Why don't we just give money to these NGOs? Our friends are all running NGOs. Are you kidding me? Do you know how much money we could pull off the top? Because no one is looking. And even with the best. Even with the best intentions, which I don't give them, even with the best intentions of saying, you know what, we can just funnel some of this money to do black Ops. Someplace else, I think. I think they started. Well, we know they did. I reported it in, what, 2017. That's what they were doing in Benghazi. That's what they were doing in Ukraine. They were setting these things up. And then they were funneling money to the bad guys. They were funneling money to George Soros. You don't think you should know about that? Chuck Schumer doesn't think you should know about that. Which one is the fascist? Which. Which one answers to the people? The one that opens their books just as you are required to every tax day, Just as every single aid organization and charity has to open their books all the time. And they go over it with a fine tooth comb, believe me, we have to do it. Why doesn't a government agency that is running billions of dollars through their front door and their back door. We don't have a right to check. We the people don't have a right to ask our treasury, hey, what's happening with all this money? I ain't going to. It's not going to go well for them. It's not going to go well for them. These things need to be released and released clearly as soon as we have it. Because what the press is saying right now is, oh, well, there's. There's conservatives that are saying that there is a waste of money, maybe a little waste of money. You know, that happens in big government and things like that. No, no, no, no, no. We're saying this agency was using money at first to topple regimes that were not friendly to the United States. And they learned, and they learned they could topple the United States by using our money. That's what USAID is, period. Still getting around to that fix on your car? You got this on ebay.
