As secretary of state, I was involved in the efforts to remove a prosecutor. The whole administration, including Obama, the vice president, and the ambassador, worked towards this goal. We believed that for Ukraine to succeed and overcome the revolution, known as the Maidan, it was crucial to get rid of that prosecutor. And they succeeded in doing so.

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.

USAID cuts have been harming third world nations that never bothered to develop their own economies while they were on the dole. Hodan Oseman, President of the Somali Development and Reconstruction Bank, says that those cuts have had a severe impact on her country's economy, Somalia. They've been receiving development aid this is separate from humanitarian aid for at least forty three years from US taxpayers, and we have been the single largest donors to aid in that nation. By the way, forty three years? That's longer than my children receive development money from me. I think it's time for the little boys to act like grown ups now, and I'm sure that after nearly half a century of US funded economic development, they actually have a developed economy. Wouldn't you think?

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.

As secretary of state, I was deeply involved in getting rid of a prosecutor in Ukraine. The entire administration, including Obama, the vice president, and myself, worked towards this goal. We knew that for Ukraine to succeed and win the revolution, they had to remove the prosecutor. I made it clear to them that if the prosecutor wasn't fired, they wouldn't receive $1,000,000,000 in funding. Eventually, the prosecutor was fired, and Ukraine achieved their objective.

I have spent four years at USAID and am more convinced than ever of the impact of American compassion and ingenuity, alongside our foreign service nationals. While we face new challenges, we also have fresh insights, tools, and partners. In my travels to communities where USAID operates, I hear stories of transformation—people receiving capital to start businesses, recovering from disasters, or gaining education to achieve their goals. These individuals are eager to collaborate with the United States to tackle future challenges. By becoming more responsive, efficient, and catalytic, we can harness the power of these partnerships and drive progress in this new era.

USAID, established in 1961 by JFK, is not an aid organization despite its name. The "aid" in USAID stands for the U.S. Agency for International Development, which focuses on developing institutions that the State Department needs. It coordinates capacity-building efforts for activist groups in foreign countries to align with U.S. interests. With a budget of $50 billion, USAID surpasses the combined budgets of the CIA and the State Department, which totals $72 billion. Essentially, USAID acts as a facilitator for the Pentagon, State Department, and intelligence community, supporting national security and clandestine operations.

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.

I've issued a deadline for agencies to submit waste reduction plans. Failure to comply will result in tech support intervention, which is essentially what my team is doing – fixing outdated government computer systems. We aim to find a trillion dollars in savings to prevent national bankruptcy. Every agency will have a "mini Elon Musk" to justify spending. We're freezing government credit cards for 30 days and doing a pulse check via email to see if employees are real and responsive, we suspect some are dead or even fictional. Some people are upset with our aid to Ukraine which has been spent on things like fashion shows, wine, and cheese puffs. Providing money to LGBTQ individuals in Serbia is also coming under fire. Some are questioning the loyalty of Elon Musk because of this. The Biden years proved we don't even need an active president, because institutions are running everything behind the scenes.

USAID is how the CIA gets things done, attempting regime change with secret accounts and shell companies. They receive $50 billion annually, even funding Al-Shabaab groups and commanding the Taliban to keep opium flowing. USAID, the State Department, and the CIA rigged the Guatemalan election to install CIA-controlled politicians and run a child trafficking network. DHS and HHS created public-private partnerships with Mexican cartels and NGOs like Save the Children to fund international child trafficking. There's a crisis of human smuggling and trafficking where the federal government cannot be turned to for help. We are failing in our American heritage, we have hope in President Trump.

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.

Initially, USAID was created with good intentions. However, the agency has broken the trust with the American people and hasn't been transparent about where our taxpayer dollars are going. In 2021, the special operations command put out an instruction manual with instructions and examples on how the military could work with the state department, intel services, and USAID using race riots in order to destabilize nations. They also advocated for setting up job fairs near some of these riots so that disaffected workers could gain employment. These operations are taking place without government oversight, without the authority of the president, without the authority of congress. USAID needs to condemn this and provide oversight to congress on exactly where our tax dollars are going. Do you agree that this is wrong?

We need to reduce government size, particularly within the FBI, which has expanded unnecessarily. The FBI's intel operations have caused significant issues, and I would repurpose the Hoover building into a museum while reallocating its 7,000 employees to focus on law enforcement, tackling crime directly. Government reform is essential, and collaboration with Congress is necessary to eliminate redundant positions. During my time as deputy DNI, we identified and cut unnecessary roles, which Congress appreciated as it saved money. Agencies often request more positions without justification, leading to unfilled roles and wasted budgets. It's a misconception that agencies can't return unused funds; they often spend unnecessarily to avoid returning money to Congress.

Donald Trump has involved Elon Musk in an initiative to eliminate wasteful spending within government agencies like USAID. There is resistance within these agencies to outside influence, reflecting a belief that they operate independently of elected officials. USAID's projects often serve dual purposes, advancing U.S. foreign policy while presenting a humanitarian facade. Historical scandals, including the CIA's misuse of public health initiatives for intelligence, raise concerns about USAID's operations. The potential for classified information at USAID to jeopardize national security is alarming, especially given its ties to the CIA. If foreign nations discover the extent of USAID's actions, it could damage U.S. diplomatic relations and trust, pushing countries toward adversaries like Russia and China, ultimately harming U.S. economic interests and global standing.

We knew that Ukraine needed to remove the prosecutor to succeed in the revolution. I made it clear to them that if the prosecutor wasn't fired, they wouldn't receive the $1 billion. Eventually, the prosecutor was fired.

I Googled USAID and apparently Trump and Elon shut off the world's oxygen supply. But what's missing from these stories is any reporting on what USAID was spending money on, like sketchy projects they funneled billions into, or why shutting it down might be a good thing. USAID was dropping millions on gender studies in countries that still stone women, funding infrastructure projects where nothing ever got built, and paying for DC cocktail parties instead of actual aid. The media is acting like USAID was a holy temple when in reality, it was just a government ATM with no withdrawal limits. Nobody even knew what USAID did until Trump shut it down. If your charity dies when the free government money stops flowing, it wasn't a charity. It was a money laundering Ponzi scheme. And the fact that CNN is crying tells you everything.

Had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them. And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help in any of them. I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of these countries, and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal. All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle. If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen, but she's in great shape. We're both in good shape. We both stood. And then a teleprompter that didn't work. This is these are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much.

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.

I'm uncovering fraud by showing how money isn't reaching its intended destination but is instead being diverted, which goes against what Congress intended. Uncovering fraud should be viewed positively, and it's puzzling why anyone would defend it. We're working to address waste, inefficiency, fraud, and the weaponization of agencies. A prime example is USAID, which misuses taxpayer money to promote unwanted ideologies and destabilize foreign policies. It is common sense to stop funding these things. We aim to address this issue across all agencies, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and effectively.

USAID, initially created by Kennedy, has become a front for a far-left agenda, marked by wasteful spending and anti-American priorities. Democrats show no concern over this misuse of funds, which makes me believe there is an attempt to conceal the corruption. Trump's attempt to pause this spending was met with cries of a constitutional crisis. Many USAID programs undermine diplomatic relationships by pushing woke ideology, as seen with PEPFAR, where the Biden administration jeopardized lives by imposing abortion agendas on African nations. Those complicit in this betrayal should be fired. Also, it's false that Elon Musk, who has a top-secret clearance for his work with NASA, has access to personal data. Finally, it's offensive to dismiss the capabilities of young people serving our country. Their service matters and should be respected.

USAID was originally started in 1961 for humanitarian purposes, but it has since been taken over by the military industrial complex. It has become a sinister agency that propagates totalitarianism and war across the globe. President Trump recognized this and stood up to it. We need to do the same thing with the institutions that are stealing the health of our children. We need a revolutionary figure to stand up to these institutions. I want to recognize the allies that I've had in this battle, including Senator Rand Paul, Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Roger Marshall, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Buddy Carter. We've all been champions of this agenda. Thank you, President Trump, for standing strong.

I made mistakes in choosing some advisors. While I picked some great people, I also selected a few who were disloyal or gave bad advice. For instance, I hired John Bolton despite warnings from a friend, Phil Ruffin, who said he was trouble. I wish I had listened sooner. Bolton had a reputation that made other countries wary, thinking I might go to war. He was involved in the controversial Middle East decisions during the Bush administration. I often received more attention than others, possibly due to my outspoken nature.
