The speaker discusses the new Department of Government Efficiency, potentially led by Elon Musk. They investigated four instances of wasteful spending that Donald Trump mentioned. $22 billion from Health and Human Services went to housing and transportation for documented migrants. $60 million went to indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America via USAID, with unclear results. $32 million went to the Republic of Moldova for a left-wing propaganda operation, also via USAID. $42 million went to Johns Hopkins University for behavior change in Uganda, funded by USAID. Trump claimed $25 billion in waste. A Rasmussen poll shows that 59% of Americans support auditing Social Security, and 61% believe an audit would reveal widespread fraud. 55% are confident they'll receive promised Social Security benefits. 43% trust Democrats more to handle Social Security, while 44% trust Republicans. The speaker questions whether Democrats will watch spending.

The massive bloat in government spending allows politicians to hide their pet projects. For example, Stacey Abrams' climate group, with a revenue of only $100, is slated to receive $2 billion. There's outrage over Elon Musk's team accessing IRS data, yet the Biden administration allowed 53 unpaid researchers and students full access to the American people's data at the IRS. They're okay with waste, fraud, and abuse as long as their special interest groups are funded and their ideology is promoted, regardless of the will of the American people. Our country can't survive this. We are thankful that Donald Trump and his team are saying enough is enough and will begin the process of restoring a constitutional republic.

Congress is rushing to pass a $1.7 trillion spending package without balancing the budget. Examples of wasteful spending include $2.3 million on injecting beagles with cocaine, $700,000 studying how male parrots attract mates, $187,000 on studying if dogs help kids cope, and $118,000 on studying if a robot of Marvel's Thanos can snap its fingers.

Trump says the administration removed wasteful items from the budget, which upset Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez and the socialist wing of the Democratic Party. They took out items that existed under President Biden and are demanding they be put back in. Examples cited include: $3,000,000 for circumcision and vasectomies in Zambia; $500,000 of American taxpayer money for electric buses in Rwanda; $3,600,000 for pastry cooking classes and dance focus groups for male prostitutes in Haiti. I kid you not. $6,000,000 for media organizations for the Palestinians; $833,000 for transgender people in Nepal; $300,000 for a pride parade in Lesotho; $882,000 for social media and mentorship in Serbia; $4,200,000; $4,200,000 for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people in the Western Balkans and Uganda. The congresswoman and the socialist wing threaten to shut down the government till we get this back in. The fight is about putting this back in the bill.

American tax dollars funded various projects last year, raising questions about their effectiveness. Examples include grants for drag shows in Ecuador, a butterfly study in Germany, and a Sergeant Pepper's exhibit in Brooklyn. Other projects involved a smart toilet study, research on colonial Mexican soundscapes, and a study on seatbelts and helmets in Ghana (despite existing US data). Funding also went to a Yoko Ono art installation, a Napa Valley walking trail, a Hawaiian farmers market, the Metropolitan Opera's fire suppression system, and a study of Parisian butchers' private language. Additionally, taxpayer money supported a climate futurism conference using the parable of the sower and a study on influencing climate change skeptics. Nearly a billion dollars was spent on border facilities, averaging around $500 per person crossing illegally. Ultimately, the question remains: are these the best uses of taxpayer money?

USAID has allocated significant funds for various projects, including $1.5 million for DEI initiatives in Serbia, $70,000 for a DEI musical in Ireland, $47,000 for a transgender opera in Colombia, and $32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru. Many American taxpayers are concerned about these expenditures, believing they do not reflect their priorities. President Trump has tasked Elon Musk with addressing issues of fraud, waste, and abuse within the federal government.

Doge arrived at the IRS and is now helping review government spending, starting with NASA. We're planning to slash departments by 30-40% if they can't justify their headcount and selling unused federal buildings. We've discovered taxpayer money is being used to fund things like Palestinian hip hop and bizarre animal experiments. The Department of Health and Human Services has also spent billions on cars and homes for migrants. The EPA was caught rushing to spend tax dollars on questionable projects, including a climate fund with a now-deleted board of directors page. Trump's administration is offering buyouts to federal workers, and 75,000 have already accepted. We're addressing government waste and fraud that has been ongoing for years. The goal is to reform and cut wasteful spending.

Here's the latest edition of wasteful spending courtesy of USAID. Over $849,000 is going to a transgender job fair in Bangladesh, where the median monthly income is around $220. Nearly $2,000,000 will fund sex change surgeries in Guatemala, provided by a trans-led organization. Millions more are allocated to various global initiatives, including $55,000,000 to strengthen Libyan financial processes, $20,000,000 for an Iraq Sesame Street program, and smaller amounts for similar programs in Bangladesh and Nigeria. We're also spending $22,000,000 to boost tourism in Tunisia and Egypt. Additionally, funds are directed towards climate change initiatives in Africa ($520,000,000), green transportation in Georgia ($24,400,000), and LGBTQ+ support in various countries like Uganda ($5,500,000) and North Macedonia ($1,300,000). Even China is getting $5,000,000 to reduce carbon emissions. This is just the latest list of wasteful spending. Time for change.

Here's a glimpse at some wasteful spending I've uncovered. We're talking $22 billion from HHS for housing and cars for illegal immigrants, and $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma. Millions more are going towards initiatives like sedentary migrant inclusion, LGBTQI+ promotion in Lesotho, and indigenous empowerment in Central America. I've also found $8 million allocated to making mice transgender, $32 million for a left-wing propaganda effort in Moldova, and $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique. There's nearly $2 billion tied to a decarbonization committee, plus millions more for fish monitoring, voter confidence in Liberia, and illegal alien hotel rooms in NYC. Other questionable expenditures include vegan climate action in Zambia, social change in Uganda, public procurement in Serbia, learning outcomes in Asia, and a record-breaking $101 million in DEI contracts at the Department of Education.

Is this how we want to spend American taxpayer dollars? We've identified questionable expenditures, like a State Department grant for drag shows in Ecuador and a National Science Foundation study on butterflies in Germany. Other examples include funding for a display on Yoko Ono's art, a wine trail in Napa Valley, and a farmers market in Hawaii. We also spent nearly a million dollars studying climate change impacts on driving in Ghana and researching how to influence climate change skeptics. Additionally, $991 million was spent on temporary facilities at the border. With $31 trillion in federal debt, we need to prioritize spending and ensure oversight to avoid waste.

Okay, team, we need to address some serious budget overspending. I'm talking millions on bizarre projects like body positivity initiatives for captive Haitians, glitter bombs for Saudi Imams, and chocolate fondue for Ukrainian Hebrews. And it doesn't stop there: McFlurries for Pakistani furries? Kool-Aid fountains for North Korean accountants? Abortion on demand for Japanese pandas? Some of these programs are getting cut, including those Iraqi slumber parties and destigmatizing marijuana in Uganda. Sausage male dancers for Australians with COVID, gender-fluid Iraq zodiac lessons, high-speed trains for Ukrainian hermaphrodites, and sex changes for polar bears. Even Saudi Arabian easy bake ovens are in question. And lastly, we're cutting free handgun ammunition for all USAID positions. Now, a word from our sponsor, Hollow, the prayer app.

Here's the Doge report for today. $3 million is going to steroid-enhanced hamster fighting studies. Just go to any bar and watch a fight. $2.3 million is for studying cocaine effects on beagles? Get a Coachella ticket instead. $600,000 is for parrot romance – important, of course. $500,000 on racial aggression in mice? They just want food. $1.1 million is for training mice to binge drink; visit any college frat or sorority. $2.1 million goes to encouraging Ethiopians to wear shoes, while I can't even get my kid to wear shoes. $187,000 is verifying kids love their pets? Most people like pets more than humans. $2.7 million is studying Russian cats on treadmills; let's get Americans on those instead. $875,000 is studying cocaine effects on quail mating; just go to a party. That's where your money is going.

Congress released a 1,012-page bill with a $1 trillion price tag full of questionable spending. Examples include $850,000 for a gay senior citizen home in Boston, $15 million for Egyptian college tuition, and $400,000 for a group teaching elementary school kids about being trans. Even a posthumous earmark for Dianne Feinstein. The bill also includes $500,000 for an anti-racist nature program at the San Diego Zoo. This bill, signed by Biden, will spend taxpayer money recklessly.

Democrats are defending questionable spending priorities, including $1.5 million for DEI initiatives in Serbia, $20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street, and millions on projects in Afghanistan that failed, like a dam that was never used. USAID has been criticized for funding programs that seem wasteful or ineffective, such as a million dollars for bat research in Wuhan and support for Fashion Week in Paris. Allegations suggest that USAID operates like a dark money entity, with ties to various foundations and questionable contracts, including one involving Hunter Biden. Billions have been funneled into open borders groups, effectively funding illegal immigration.

Hello, fellow citizens and taxpayers. Today, I'm sharing highlights from Senator Rand Paul's annual Festivus report, exposing wasteful government spending. We've spent billions on empty federal buildings, millions on pickleball complexes in Las Vegas, and even funded Ukrainian influencers. Absurdly, money went to girl-centered climate action in Brazil, fighting terrorism with soccer, and diversity in bird watching. We're also burning cash on interest payments for our massive national debt, funding social media expansion in Ethiopia, and backing magic-related projects. Border security in Paraguay got millions, while our own border remains vulnerable. There was money spent on COVID experiments on cats and spinning kittens for science. Unbelievably, $20 million went to Sesame Street in Iraq. This is a fraction of the billions wasted last year alone. Check the 2024 Rand Paul Festivus report and see how your tax dollars are being squandered.

Biden's USAID has wasted taxpayer money on questionable projects: $1.5 million for DEI in Serbia, $2 million for sex changes in Guatemala, $6 million for tourism in Egypt, and $15 million for contraceptives in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. This spending is alarming for American taxpayers. President Trump aims to stop such funding, addressing issues like USAID's support for Hamas. The urgency for change has never been clearer, especially after blocking funds that could aid terrorism. The backlash from Democrats and media against figures like Elon Musk shows their discomfort with these reforms. Musk's efforts align with Trump's mission to eliminate wasteful spending and restore accountability in government.

For over a decade, I’ve been exposing egregious Washington waste with my monthly SQUEAL awards. Some examples are too outrageous to believe. I’m talking about bureaucrats approving PPP loans for applicants who used pictures of dolls for IDs. Imagine giving Barbie or Ken a taxpayer funded loan. Not only that, but they also believe folks claiming to be over 115 years old were alive and well enough to be approved for 3,095 PPP and idle loans worth $333,000,000 including $36,000 to a 157 year old. That’s pure hogwash. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Instead of boosting Main Street, millions of your tax dollars were wasted through USAID to fund Iraqi Sesame Street. And this one is unacceptable. Improper payments or the government tossing cash into the wrong trough have become commonplace. In fiscal year twenty twenty four, federal agencies shoveled out $162,000,000,000 in improper payments. The most frustrating part is how simple it is to stop this waste. A report by the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee found that $79,000,000,000 in potential COVID fraud could have been prevented if four basic questions were asked. One, is the applicant's social security number valid? Two, if valid, does the name connected to that number match the name on the application? Three, does the birthday match? And lastly, is the individual alive? Seriously, folks, that could have saved $79,000,000,000 right there. The good news is that we can prevent nearly all improper payments in the future with my Doge in Spending Act that enacts common sense guardrails like those four simple questions.

Chairman Marcia Taylor Green's subcommittee discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and overseas recipients. These payments went to individuals who should not have received them. Doge is identifying fraud, waste, and abuse daily. Elon Musk mentioned Social Security payments being sent to deceased individuals. There are also contracts where, for example, a million dollars was allocated, but only $500,000 was disbursed, raising questions about the missing funds. Doge is actively addressing these issues. President Trump campaigned on this and is delivering on that promise.

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.

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.

Do any of you still like America? It's shocking that people are upset about Doge while our government has been wasting money on ridiculous projects for years. For example, $7 million on magic studies, $1.5 million using kittens to study motion sickness, and $6.9 million on smart toilets that recognize users. We spent $118,000 to see if a metal Thanos could snap his fingers and $75,000 on a study of lizards blown off trees with leaf blowers. In 2023, $150.7 billion went to those protesting and burning flags. If you don’t like America, feel free to leave. Those in power are benefiting from this global money laundering, and it’s time to reconsider where you stand.

Do you think the government spends too much money? Absolutely, it's a given. Recently, they spent $750,000 to study whether it was one small step for a man or one small step for mankind during the moon landing. How is that justified? It's ridiculous. Then there's a million dollars spent to see if cocaine makes Japanese quail more sexually promiscuous. Who cares about quail? And $100,000 to determine if tequila or gin makes sunfish more aggressive? That's absurd. These expenditures are not a good use of taxpayer dollars, especially when you consider how much is spent on military funding.

Many federal buildings across the United States are sitting empty, costing taxpayers billions of dollars annually for upkeep and repairs. A historically large number of federal office spaces in DC are either empty or underutilized. The government is spending money to keep these unused buildings open, even as many Americans struggle to afford their own homes. The existence of tens of thousands of empty buildings represents waste within the federal system.

Twitter, at least, was breaking even and passing audits. The federal government, however, loses $2 trillion a year and fails its audits. For example, Senator Collins mentioned giving the Navy $12 billion for submarines, but they got no extra submarines, and the Navy couldn't account for the money. It's like, only the federal government could get away with this level of waste because they've been doing it for so long and have become accustomed to it. As Milton Friedman said, money is most poorly spent when you're spending someone else's money on people you don't know, which is exactly what the federal government does.

$1 billion wasted on individuals with no connection to our city. The true culprit behind this is Joe Biden, the author of All of Our Wounds, currently residing in the White House. This situation would not have occurred under Donald Trump's presidency.
