I want to try to put in perspective what many of my Democratic friends have been talking about today they're very very very upset at president Trump and they're very very very upset at Elon Musk um president Trump ran for president on a number of issues one of the issues he ran on he said it almost every day he saidif you elect me president I'm going to go through the entire budget and review all the spending line by line I heard if I heard him say that once I heard him say a thousand times and that's what he's been doing he went out and appointed through an executive order Elon Musk who um people some people like him some don't but he's not a dummy he's a very successful business person he's got a top secret security clearance president Trump issued an executive order and he turned to Mrmusk and he said Mrmusk I want you to do for what I said I was going to do in the election I want you to go through all the spending line by line now let me ask you something MrPresident how are you going to review the spending without reviewing the spending how how are you going to audit the spending by an agency without auditing the agency that's what I mean when I say common sense is illegal in Washington DC that's what Mrmusk is doing he's put together a Cracker Jack team and uh they're going through everybody's spending line line by line item by item and my my Democratic colleagues are very very very upset and they they're they've been very eloquent they've talked about the process and president Trump's executive order supposedly violates the Constitution and they've accused Mrmusk of having conflicts of interest and I've heard people say he's sitting over there with a notepad copying down everybody's social security number and he's going to go use it to make money I mean people in this town not just my Democratic colleagues they're really upset they've never sat anybody question their spending uh but that's what Mrmusk is doing but you know I've listened this has been going on for a week people have been screaming like they're part of a prison right oh my God look at what musk is doing he's looking at the spending and I've listened to people talk about the process and debate whether it's constitutional and and and and discuss how many lawyers can dance on the head of a pen but you know what I haven't heard one single person who's upset with President Trump or Mrmusk talk about what he's found they don't want to talk about the spending the spending porn the waste of taxpayer money that he's found I mean that's the point of all this I tell you who is interested the American people the people in America who get up every day and go to work and obey the law and pay their taxes and try to educate their kids and try try to do the right thing by their kids and try to save a little money for retirement and have had to to to uh to live through 20% inflation under President Biden they understand what musk is doing they understand spending porn and wasting taxpayer money now Mrmus started with the usaid that hands handles a lot of uh a foreign aid for America American people very generous and in our country uh you know when you're homeless we'll we'll house you when you're uh when you're hungry we'll feed you in our country when you're too poor to be sick we'll pay for your doctor and and we we send a lot of money overseas to help our world's neighbors and the usaid is in charge in large part of that but I tell you what Mrmusk discovered I find it it fascinating he discovered that the American taxpayers are giving money to U Afghanistan he found that we are giving money to Yemen he found that we are giving money to Syria I didn't know that some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen Afghanistan Syria he found that the usaid has 10,000 people 10,000 people employees and every year they give away $40 billion Mrmusk uh also found and I'm not saying that that all of this money is wasteful I'm not some of this money I'm sure does some good that's why secretary Rubio is going to revamp the the the department separate the good from the bad but this is the kind of stuff Mrmusk found he he found that the usaid um gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam our money taxpayer money he found that usaid gave money to a transgender clinic in India I didn't know that I bet the American people didn't know that he found that uh the usaid gave $1. 5 million to a Serbian lb lgbtq group called groupa is aaji I probably mispronounced that my apologies anyway they got $1. 5 million to quote Advance diversity Equity inclusion in Serbia's workplaces and business Community what else did Mrmusk found that my colleagues don't want to talk about well 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 $164 million to support radical organizations about around the world we're not talking Cub Scout Troops here we're talking about radical organizations around the world they gave $22 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations our taxpayer money according to this report in Mrmusk the usaid has given millions of dollars to quote or organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas why why 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 what we're getting far an A too what else I'm not going to spend my whole time talking about this but nobody else is talking about it they're just talking about the process and Mrmusk and he's a mean guy and he shouldn't be looking at our spending well he is and I kind of find that I kind of find what he's found out interesting he found that we gave $2 million USA ID did for sex changes in Guatemala he found that we gave $20 million to produce a new Sesame Street show in Iraq he found that we uh we gave $4.
5 million of taxpayer money to combat Mis disinformation in kazakistan he found that we gave $10 million you us Aid did of meals to an Al-Qaeda link terrorist group called the NRA front Mrmusk found that we gave $7. 9 million of taxpayer money to a project that would te Teach Sri Lankan journalists to avoid binary gendered language we took the USA ID took 8 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 are we talking about that are the usid gave $1. 5 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica they gave $1.
5 million to rebuild the Cuban media ecosystem they gave $1. 5 million for quote art for inclusion of people with disabilities in bellus another $3. 9 million for LGBT causes and Macedonia $8.
