USAID and similar NGOs, such as DFID, operate in Africa under the guise of humanitarian aid and grassroots initiatives, but their real purpose is to destabilize governments. Many leaders in Africa and the developing world are celebrating USAID's exit. Despite claims of filling gaps in healthcare and education, there is no evidence of improvement in countries where USAID has been present. The social services provided are insignificant, and only a fraction of the billions of dollars given to USAID reaches the people.

USAID and other NGOs like DFID claim to rescue Africa with grassroots initiatives, but they destabilize governments. Many leaders in the developing world are celebrating USAID's exit. Despite filling gaps in healthcare and education, no country shows improvement in these areas due to USAID. The social services provided are minimal. American taxpayers should know that only a fraction of the billions given to USAID reaches the people.

Good afternoon. It’s an honor to welcome you back to the State Department. American engagement and leadership are essential for advancing our interests. We’ve worked tirelessly to rebuild our alliances and partnerships, which are now stronger than ever. In the past four years, we've faced challenges but emerged stronger. Our economy is booming, and we've made historic investments in infrastructure and clean energy. Our alliances, particularly NATO, are more robust, and we’ve successfully countered adversaries like Russia and Iran. We’ve also prioritized diplomacy, bringing home Americans wrongfully detained abroad. As we look to the future, we must continue leading in artificial intelligence and clean energy. America is built on the idea of equality and progress, and together, we can achieve great things. Thank you for your dedication, and may God bless you all.

I am grateful to Brad and Microsoft for their support. Microsoft is known for partnering with initiatives that make a positive impact in the world. They understand the importance of economic development, digitization, climate change adaptation, and strengthening democracy. It's not just about preaching to the choir; it's about showing up and taking action. I appreciate their involvement.

It is an honor to do work that facilitates making things better for people in the greatest country on earth, next to Israel. It is an honor to make a difference and to speak in this regard with an administration that is loved and that one feels genuinely represented by.

USAID has been managed by individuals with extreme views, and we are in the process of removing them. After that, we will make further decisions.

USAID, or the U.S. Agency for International Development, is not an aid organization in the traditional sense. Established in the early 1960s by JFK, its purpose is to develop institutions globally that support U.S. foreign policy. USAID coordinates capacity-building efforts for activist groups in foreign countries to align with the interests of the State Department. With a budget of $50 billion, it surpasses the combined budgets of the CIA and the State Department. Essentially, USAID acts as a facilitator for the Pentagon, State Department, and intelligence community, aiding in national security and foreign policy objectives.

I have personal experience with fixing USAID. As someone in charge of policy and budget at USAID during the Reagan administration, we took on a major effort to fix it. I even have a farewell present from AID. It's a hand grenade that says, "John R. Bolton, truest Reaganaut, AID 1983." This represents the style of government that we embraced at the time and it reflects our approach to the job.

USAID has been unresponsive and misaligned with U.S. foreign policy, despite its role in spending taxpayer dollars. Historically, it has operated independently, ignoring directives from the State Department and failing to provide transparency about its programs and funding. This lack of cooperation has hindered effective oversight and alignment with national interests. The goal is to ensure that every dollar spent abroad supports U.S. interests, rather than acting as a global charity. Reform efforts have been ongoing for decades, but USAID has resisted change. Moving forward, it is essential that taxpayer money is used to further U.S. national interests, and this lack of accountability will no longer be tolerated.

I'm exposing some initiatives USAID has funded and asking a yes or no question: Do these expenditures of American taxpayer dollars put America First? USAID awarded $2,000,000 to strengthen trans-led organizations for gender-affirming health care in Guatemala. Does paying for this advance American interests? USAID awarded over $750,000 to alleviate loneliness among migrant garment workers in India. Does this advance America's interest? USAID awarded $1,500,000 for a gender-sensitive response to migration at the Venezuelan border. Does this advance American interests? Other expenditures include; $4,300,000 for health services for men who have sex with men in South Africa, $1,500,000 to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in Serbia, $70,000 for a live musical event promoting US and Irish shared values, $1,500,000 to upscale LGBT rights advocacy in Jamaica, $28,000,000 to facilitate the economic insertion of Venezuelan migrants in Peru and Ecuador, $17,500,000 for voluntary medical male circumcision overseas, and nearly $150,000 for HIV prevention targeting men who have sex with men and transgender people. Our foreign assistance system is broken, and this ends now.

I am grateful to Brad and Microsoft for their support. When we have ideas to make a positive impact, Microsoft is enthusiastic to partner with us. This mindset exists in other companies too, rooted in the recognition of the business case for various causes like economic development, digitization, climate change adaptation, and strengthening democracy. Companies like Microsoft have a powerful voice and can make a difference. It's not just about preaching to the choir, but about showing up and taking action in the private sector. I am incredibly grateful for their support.

USAID and similar NGOs claim to rescue Africa through grassroots initiatives, but they are wolves in sheep's clothing using humanitarian access to destabilize governments. Most leaders in the developing world are celebrating USAID's exit. USAID claims to fill gaps in healthcare and education, but there's no evidence of improvement in any country where they've operated. The social services they provide are insignificant. American taxpayers should know that only a fraction of the billions of dollars given to USAID reaches the people.

The speaker is in Brussels for critical discussions with friends and partners from the humanitarian community about providing life-saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable people and making concrete commitments to turn ideas into action. Since 2017, more than 6,000,000 Venezuelans have sought refuge in 17 countries across the region, representing the largest displacement in the Western Hemisphere. At the 2023 International Conference in Solidarity with Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants, the United States announced more than 171,000,000 in humanitarian assistance and development funding to respond to the needs of vulnerable Venezuelans in their own country, Venezuelan refugees and migrants, and the generous communities that host them across the region. The speaker expresses being inspired by the stories of strength and resilience of Venezuelan refugees and migrants and pride in the United States’ role as the largest single donor to this crisis response. The United States is highlighted as the largest single donor of humanitarian assistance worldwide. The speaker looks forward to next week’s European Humanitarian Forum, where government representatives, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and others will collaborate on issues such as refugee resettlement, humanitarian diplomacy, and forced displacement. Addressing the unprecedented 100,000,000 persons now displaced worldwide will require additional aid and support from new and nontraditional donors, as well as new ideas and approaches. The speaker stresses that no single country can address all needs alone, and that the only way forward is together. Gratitude is extended to the European Union for bringing everyone together for these discussions. The challenges ahead are described as formidable, but equally strong is the will to overcome them. The speaker affirms confidence that, together, progress can be made.

We had a productive discussion about USAID, an issue I've focused on for years in the Senate. USAID has consistently obstructed my congressional oversight efforts. I shared examples of waste within the organization during a recent conversation on X Spaces with Elon. It's crucial that we scrutinize every dollar spent there, and I'm pleased to see a shift in oversight to the State Department.

In every place of worship across our land, we celebrate freedom. A Cuban refugee once told my friend that they were lucky to have a place to escape to. Let's keep America that place. America embodies a universal human spirit. I received a letter that said you can live in many countries, but you cannot truly become one of them. However, anyone can come to America and become an American. Lady Liberty symbolizes our freedom and our heritage. It's the life force of new Americans that ensures our continued triumph. We lead the world because we draw strength from every corner of the globe, constantly renewing our nation. We breathe life into dreams and create the future. If we ever close our doors to new Americans, we would lose our leadership in the world. Our objective is to establish a fair and secure immigration system, preserving the value of American citizenship.

USAID is a fraud and a slush fund for left-wing projects globally, with very little being put to good use. This occurs while denying funds to those who clearly need them, with only cents on the dollar reaching those in need. USAID was initially created for humanitarian purposes, but it has been captured by the military-industrial complex, becoming a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war. The US government, through USAID, has funded things like DEI initiatives in Serbia, gender surgeries worldwide, sex change surgeries in Guatemala, and social media influencers in Ukraine. USAID is using taxpayer dollars to fund opposition and subvert democracy in other countries. USAID and the CIA don't promote democracy; they are run by radical lunatics that we are working to remove. As an American taxpayer, I don't want my dollars going towards this.

In every place of worship across our land, we unite under God, celebrating our glorious freedom. A Cuban refugee once told my friends that America is a place to escape to, a sanctuary we must preserve. America embodies a universal spirit. As one person wrote to me, anyone from anywhere can come to America and become an American. Lady Liberty symbolizes our heritage and our role as a beacon of freedom, attracting people worldwide. This is a source of our greatness. We lead because we draw strength from every corner of the world, constantly renewing our nation. We breathe life into dreams, creating the future. Each wave of new arrivals keeps us young, energetic, and at the cutting edge. Closing our doors to new Americans would mean losing our global leadership. Our goal is a fair and secure immigration system, preserving the value of American citizenship for generations to come.

The speaker discusses an upcoming trip and the actions needed to sustain progress, emphasizing that the audience should not turn away any friends and should mobilize all possible support. The central message is that the era of “Black Hawk Down” is over, and Somalia is on the upswing. Several reasons are highlighted for optimism: Somalia has a fully thinking progressive president; a parliament that is working hard to construct a system of laws for the Somali people; and, for the first time in twenty-two years, the United States government is so confident in this government in Somalia that we recognize this government. In addition, it is noted that two days after the speaker left Mogadishu, Rod Shaw, who is the head of The United States in international development, landed in Mogadishu himself, underscoring visible engagement from the U.S. At the same time, the speaker emphasizes that the bottom line is that steady progress will require the help of everyone present. There is a clear admonition that no one in the room can assume that other people will do the work, implying that personal responsibility is essential for continued progress. The speaker calls for broad participation: “We need your help.” Addressing the audience directly, the speaker says, “Yes, you. You understand what I mean? Every single individual needs to take personal responsibility for the continued progress of Somalia and the continued strengthening of the United States–Somali relationship.” This framing reinforces the expectation of individual contribution to collective advancement and the deepening of ties with the United States. Finally, the speaker articulates a hopeful vision for Somalia’s future: “My dream, God willing, is to see Somalia in the eyes of the world move from being a security threat to a security partner.” The vision includes transforming Somalia’s role on the global stage and domestic economy: moving from a recipient of emergency food aid to a commercial and trading partner. The overarching theme is the necessity of active, individual commitment to sustain political stability, legal development, and stronger U.S.–Somali relations in order to realize this favorable trajectory.

For years, I've exposed the nexus between US government agencies, NGOs, and private entities, revealing their influence on censorship, regime change, and other unconstitutional actions. Recent revelations about USAID's activities have validated my work, sparking a national conversation. This isn't a moment for celebration, but reflection. We're performing open-heart surgery on the American empire, a necessary but risky undertaking. The goal isn't to eliminate US soft power, but to reform it. The system's corruption has reached alarming levels, affecting both foreign and domestic affairs. We need a new vision for foreign policy, one that prioritizes transparency and serves genuine US interests, not just the short-term gains of corporations or ideological excesses. The fight to reform this is just beginning.

I'm announcing over $1 billion in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced by droughts and food insecurity. African leaders and citizens are looking for more than just aid; they seek investment. The United States is enhancing its relationship with Africa, shifting from assistance to partnership, and focusing on investment and trade.

USAID has been unresponsive and often operates independently of U.S. foreign policy, which is concerning given that it uses taxpayer dollars. There is a need for alignment between USAID's programs and the national interest, as outlined by the State Department and the National Security Council. Despite attempts to reform the agency over the past few decades, it continues to resist cooperation and transparency regarding funding and program details. This lack of accountability cannot persist, and it is essential that taxpayer money is used to support U.S. national interests. The ongoing frustration with USAID's operations has spanned multiple administrations and must be addressed.

It is an honor to do work that facilitates making things better for people in the greatest country on earth, next to Israel. It is an honor to make a difference and to speak in this regard with an administration that I love so much.
