Коли я чую, що США надали Україні сотні мільярдів доларів, зокрема 177 мільярдів, хочу уточнити: ми отримали лише понад 75 мільярдів. З цих 177 або 200 мільярдів, про які говорять, ми ніколи не отримували. Це важливо, адже ми отримували не гроші, а зброю — на понад 70 мільярдів. Також були навчання, транспорт та гуманітарні програми. Тому, коли стверджують, що Україна отримала 200 мільярдів для підтримки армії, це неправда. Я не знаю, куди поділися ці гроші. --- When I hear that the U.S. has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions, specifically 177 billion, I want to clarify: we have received only over 75 billion. Of the 177 or 200 billion mentioned, we have never received that amount. This is important because we received not money, but weapons — over 70 billion. There were also training, transport, and humanitarian programs. So, when it is claimed that Ukraine received 200 billion to support the army, that is not true. I don't know where that money went.

The US is sending 31 tanks to Ukraine, followed by artillery support. A supplemental budget request will provide pensions and social support. $150 million in military aid is pledged, with an additional $1 billion locked down. Total aid nears $130 billion.

American taxpayers are not only funding weapons, but also providing support to Ukraine in various ways. This includes buying seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers, covering the salaries of 57,000 first responders, and funding rescue teams like the one training a dog named Joy to search for survivors in the aftermath of Russian strikes. The US also supports divers who clear unexploded ammunition from rivers, making them safe for swimming and fishing. Due to Russia's invasion, Ukraine's economy has shrunk by about a third, and to help sustain it, the US government is subsidizing small businesses.

The speaker asked Chat GPT how much money the Pentagon had unaccounted for in its last audit. Chat GPT initially stated the Pentagon had about $220 billion in assets. The speaker thought the figure was closer to $1.5 trillion and corrected Chat GPT. Chat GPT responded that the speaker was correct and that in its most recent audit, the Pentagon could not account for $1.5 trillion in assets. The speaker then prompted Chat GPT to put $1.5 trillion into perspective. Chat GPT stated that if you spent $1 million every day since the birth of Christ, you still would not have spent $1.5 trillion, and it would take over 4,100 years to reach that amount. The speaker emphasizes that $1.5 trillion is just the amount of money that is unaccounted for.

I want to address the figures being circulated about the financial aid Ukraine has received from the U.S. I often hear numbers like $177 billion, or even $200 billion, being cited. As the President of a nation at war, I can tell you that we've received just over $75 billion. The difference is significant. This aid isn't given as cash, but primarily as weaponry. The $75 billion covers the cost of arms, training, transportation, humanitarian programs and social support. Claims that Ukraine has received $200 billion in military aid are simply untrue, and I don't know where that money is supposedly going.

So right now, as we speak tonight, there are two THAAD missile batteries in Israel. That's one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries. They are American military personnel, and they are manning these batteries to protect Israel. And that shouldn't surprise you because since 10/07/2023, which is a little less than two years ago, The United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel. Israel is by far, no one comes close, the largest recipient of USAID over time and currently. They don't know how disproportionate our attention to Israel and our spending on Israel is relative to the rest of the world.

There was no policy decision to stop sending weapons to Ukraine. A review of stockpiles caused a temporary pause of certain munitions. During the review, some shipping slowed down, but didn't stop. The review has occurred, and there's been no change to the posture of providing what is available. Ukraine needs Patriot batteries, which are available in multiple European countries, including Spain and Germany. Some countries that have ordered Patriot batteries and are about to receive them could defer shipment to Ukraine instead. These are defensive weapons that would help with missile attacks, but not drone attacks.

I just signed a $200,000,000 drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

The briefing details significant improper payments within HUD’s rental assistance programs, highlighting several categories of erroneous disbursements. The figures cited include about $77,000,000 in payments to around 30,000 dead tenants, about $150,000,000 paid to people with nonexistent Social Security numbers, and around $288,000,000 paid to support excessively high rent. According to HUD, the bulk of these incorrect payments—$5,200,000,000.0 of them—were made to people with inactive sam.gov accounts, the government portal used to register for assistance. The errors relate to two HUD rental assistance programs: tenant-based rental assistance and project-based rental assistance. Project-based rental assistance subsidizes housing units, allowing low-income individuals to afford them with the government paying the property owner. Tenant-based rental assistance goes directly to the person in need. In total, HUD disbursed around $50,400,000,000 in rental assistance payments in 2024, reaching more than 204,000 individuals. The portion of payments flagged as potential errors would account for approximately 11.5% of this total. Secretary Turner stated that HUD will continue investigating the results and will take appropriate action to hold bad actors accountable.

Regarding military equipment, while documents show significant aid, the reality is different. Out of the supposed $183 billion from the US over three years, $67 billion arrived as weapons, checked and verified, a process shared with the American side. Additionally, $31.5 billion was direct financial support to the budget. This is all transparent, digitized, and accessible. We encourage anyone to review it. We maintain complete openness.

So right now, as we speak tonight, there are two THAAD missile batteries in Israel. That's one quarter of the world's total supply of THAAD missile batteries. The THAAD missile battery is an American made, very high-tech missile battery that takes incoming missiles out of the sky. And one quarter of the world's entire supply of these is in Israel right now manned by US troops, by Americans in uniform or not. Since 10/07/2023, which is a little less than two years ago, The United States has spent at minimum $30,000,000,000 defending Israel. So anyone who says, oh, it's just a drop in the bucket. It's totally insignificant is lying or doesn't know the numbers. We are spending our time, our money, and we're taking enormous risks on behalf of a country that geopolitically is not significant at all.

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

HUD identified robust improper payments in rental assistance programs. About $77,000,000 in payments to around 30,000 dead tenants, about $150,000,000 paid to people with nonexistent Social Security numbers, and around $288,000,000 paid to support excessively high rent. According to HUD, the vast majority of these incorrect payments, $5,200,000,000.0 of them, were made to people with inactive sam.gov accounts—the government website where people can register for assistance. The payments under scrutiny fall under two programs: tenant-based rental assistance and project-based rental assistance. Project-based rental assistance subsidizes housing units so low-income individuals can afford them with the government paying the property owner, and tenant-based rental assistance goes directly to the person in need. In total, HUD sent down around $50,400,000,000.0 in rental assistance payments in 2024 to more than 204,000 individuals. The potential error flagged by HUD would make up for around 11.5% of these payments. Secretary Turner said in a statement, HUD will continue investigating the shocking results and will take appropriate action to hold bad actors account.

The EPA budget is $12 billion, while Ukraine receives 12 times that amount annually. Even after the war ends, the US plans to spend half a trillion on rebuilding Ukraine. Mitch McConnell stated that the money goes to US military contractors, benefiting the country. This reveals the money laundering scheme involving companies like Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed.

We could have used the $165 billion given to Ukraine to build 6 border walls, fix Flint's water system 215 times, give every homeless vet $2 million, and help families impacted by wildfires. HUD says $20 billion could end homelessness in America, but we sent much more. Priorities need to change.

Speaker 0 presents a sequence of large-scale financial figures: - From 1998 to 2015, undocumentable adjustments at DOD and HUD amount to 21 trillion. - Bailouts between 2008 and 2012 amount to 29 trillion. - Adding 21 trillion and 29 trillion yields 50 trillion. - Going direct injections after the going direct reset began in 2019 during the pandemic amount to another 5 trillion, bringing the total to 55 trillion, not counting quantitative easing. - He concludes, “we don't have a financial problem. We have a bank robbery.” - He notes that in the annual wrap-up, a new chart was created and released on social media showing the numbers.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

I just signed a $200 million drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

Inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine were found, totaling $6.2 billion.

The speaker points out that the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the US is $12 billion, while Ukraine receives 12 times that amount in one year. The speaker mentions that even after the war in Ukraine ends, the US will spend half a trillion dollars on rebuilding the country, with contracts for rebuilding being even larger than war contracts. The speaker highlights a statement made by Mitch McConnell, who suggests that the money sent to Ukraine actually goes to US military contractors, benefiting the country. The speaker implies that this reveals a money laundering scheme involving companies like Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed.

Okay, so sending in offensive equipment like planes and tanks would be World War III. That being said, the US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. We have artillery, but honestly, it's not enough. We're basically out of money, so I'm sending Congress a supplemental budget request, so the Ukrainian people will be able to receive pensions and social support. This is the largest assistance package from the US to Ukraine yet: $3 billion in direct aid. The US will also send over a billion dollars in new aid, plus another $150 million in military assistance. The US locked down an additional $2 billion in military aid, and the total now stands close to $130 billion.

Speaker 0: In a few days, America is already running out of weapons against Iran, despite spending about $1,000,000,000,000 a year on defense. The administration is meeting with top defense contractors at the White House because strikes on Iran are diminishing US stockpiles, especially long-range munitions like Tomahawk missiles. Interceptor missiles are being exhausted by Iranian attacks. This is not getting wide play in the mainstream media; there is a blackout. CNN reported that Israel told them they are not allowed to show incoming rocket attacks. Speaker 1: One go up there. We're not showing you that because we're not gonna show. The Israeli government does not allow us or want us to show where that may have come up, that interceptor. Speaker 0: The most powerful military machine in history is not calling a meeting because it's winning too hard. It’s calling a meeting because the shelves are getting bare. Axios and The Wall Street Journal report that the reality contradicts slogans of unlimited munitions. War is fought with inventory and magazine depth, not slogans. The White House is seeking more supply as munitions run low. Speaker 0: The dirty little secret is that war isn’t fought with slogans; it’s fought with inventory. The Iran fight is the worst kind of war for stockpiles because it’s strike targets and defense of everything you own at the same time. A CIA station house in Riyadh was hit; Iran could strike a CIA station, and telemetry data may have come from China or Russia. Iran doesn’t need to beat the US head-to-head in aircraft carriers to bleed us dry. Speaker 0: Aircraft carriers are relics of the post-World War II era and are vulnerable to hypersonic weapons. France is sending a carrier; it’s not about carriers but about forcing us to burn high-end interceptors faster than we can replace them. It comes down to math: a $50,000 drone versus a $4,000,000 interceptor or a naval missile defense shot. We’re bleeding resources. Speaker 0: Tomahawks are expensive long-range munitions. The Pentagon plans to buy only 72 Tomahawks in fiscal year 2025 and 57 in fiscal year 2026, while operations have consumed hundreds. Each missile is around $1,300,000. Raytheon and others are ramping Tomahawk production from roughly 60 per year to eventually 1,000 per year. How long will that take? The defense supply chain is strained. Speaker 0: The entire defensive layer is under strain: Patriot PAC-3 MSE interceptors, costing about $4,000,000 each; Lockheed is moving to more than triple capacity, roughly from 600 per year to roughly 2,000 per year. Interceptors are expensive, and ramping production cannot fix the immediate shortfall. Speaker 0: Ukraine aid is enormous in dollar terms—State Department reporting puts military assistance since 2022 at over or close to $70,000,000,000, likely higher. Ukraine has been a grinding logistics war; Iran is turning into a high-end missile and air defense consumption war. Boots on the ground are being considered as necessary; air campaigns alone cannot achieve regime change. 155-millimeter shells production is around 40,150 rounds per month as of 2024–2025, but Ukraine’s consumption is far higher. Mineral shortages also constrain production, prompting the White House to convene the defense industry. Speaker 0: The war plan may be to destroy enough of Iran’s launch capability before magazines run shallow—a brutal last-call scenario. The US is fighting on two tracks: attack and defense, using Tomahawks, B-2 bombers, and 2,000-pound bombs, along with low-cost drones around $35,000 each. The message to Middle East allies is that the US cannot fully protect them as stocks thin. Putin and China are watching, waiting to see if the US can prevent a massive Russian advance or another major theater’s strain. The White House meeting with CEOs reads like a panic flare, not victory, as munitions are consumed faster than they can be replenished. The speaker notes the high death toll on Iran’s side and asks for more transparency on American casualties, while reiterating the commitment to anti-war principles.

The speaker is meeting with the secretary general and plans to send them sophisticated military equipment, for which they will be fully reimbursed. The U.S. is in for about $350 billion, while Europe is in for $100 billion, though the speaker believes Europe should contribute more. As the U.S. sends equipment, they will be reimbursed. The speaker mentions sending text pictures and files, with the European Union paying for it. The U.S. will send patriots, which are needed because Putin "bombs everybody in the evening."

The Senate advanced a spending bill that allocates $35 million to the Department of Energy for preparing for and responding to potential nuclear and radiological incidents in Ukraine. This bill brings the total US expenditure on Ukraine, including war-related aid, government funding, and energy assistance, to $67 billion. This $67 billion is more than Russia's entire military budget from last year. Congress is expected to fully pass the bill later this week.

There's a new report out from the Defense IG stating that American defense officials didn't fully account for nearly 40,000 weapons that the U.S. provided to Ukraine. These are sensitive materials, small enough to be bartered or put on the black market. I'd refer you to the Defense Department for a more detailed reaction. Speaking broadly, we've been interested in improving accountability over the end use of the material provided to Ukraine for many months now. We've discussed this with our Ukrainian partners, and they share our concerns about accountability.
