Discussion on USAID Foreign Aid Spending
Okay, listen up.
Now, Mr. Musk started with the USAID.
That hands- handles a lot of, uh,
of foreign aid for America.
American people are very generous.
But I'll tell you what Mr. Musk discovered.
I, I find it, it fascinating.
He discovered
that the American taxpayers
are giving money
to, um, Afghanistan.
He found that we are giving money
to Yemen.
He found that we are giving money
to, uh, Syria.
I didn't know that.
Some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen, Afghanistan,
Syria.
Uh, he found that the USAID has ten thousand
people,
ten thousand people, employees, and every year they give away
forty billion dollars.
He, he found that the USAID,
um, gave money to support electric vehicles in
Vietnam.
Our money, taxpayer money. He found that the USAID gave
money to a transgender clinic in India.
I didn't know that. I bet you the American people didn't know
that.
He found that, um,
USAID gave one point five million dollars to a Serbian
LB- LGBTQ group called Grupa
Is a Dagi. I probably mispronounced that, my apologies.
Anyway, they got one point five million dollars
to, quote, "advanced diversity,
equity, inclusion in Serbia's workplaces
and business communities."
Um,
he, he reviewed a study and then went and checked it.
The study was done by the Middle East Forum.
They found that USAID spent a hundred and
sixty-four million dollars
to support radical organizations abou- around the world.
We're not talking Cub Scout troops here.
We're talking about radical organizations around the world.
They gave a hundred and twenty-two million dollars of
that to groups
aligned with foreign terrorist organizations.
Our taxpayer money.
According to this report and Mr. Musk,
the USAID has given millions of dollars to, quote,
"organizations in Gaza"
controlled by Hamas.
Why, why are, why aren't
my colleagues talking about that?
Recipients of the money they found
have, quote, "called for their lands to be cleansed
from the
impurity of Jews."
That's who we're giving foreign aid to?
I kinda find what he's found out interesting.
He found that we gave two million dollars, USAID did,
for sex changes in Guatemala.
He found that we gave twenty million dollars to produce a new Sesame Street
show in Iraq.
He found that we, uh, s- we gave four point five million dollars of
taxpayer
money to combat mis- disinformation in Kazakhstan.
He found that we gave ten million dollars, USAID did,
of meals to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group called the
Nusra Front.
Mr. Musk found that we gave seven point nine
million dollars of
taxpayer money to a project that would te- teach Sri Lankan journalists
to avoid binary gendered language.
We took--
The USAID took eight million bucks
and gave it to a bunch of journalists in Sri Lanka
to teach them how to avoid binary gendered language.
I don't know what the hell binary gendered language is. I think I do.
You think most taxpayers would support that? Why aren't we talking about that?
Uh, the USAID gave one point five million
dollars to promote LGBT
advocacy in Jamaica.
They gave one point five million dollars to rebuild the Cuban media
ecosystem.
They gave one point five million dollars for, quote, "art for inclusion of people
with disabilities in Belarus."
Another three point nine million dollars for LGBT causes in
Macedonia.
Eight point three million dollars for equity and inclusion e- education
in Nepal.
I could, I could go all night.
And many of my colleagues are upset. They're really mad at Mr. Musk.
Hell, I think we ought to give him a medal.
