Speaker says USAID funding amounts to terrorism. He notes $697,000,000 annually, plus shipments of cash funds Madrasas, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorazan, terrorist training camps. If you think that the program under operation enduring Sentinel entitled Women's Scholarship Endowment ($60,000,000 annually) or the Young Women Lead ($5,000,000 annually) is going to women— inspector general's report says the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public. He asserts Americans are told this funds women, but 'You are funding terrorism, and it's coming through USAID.' He adds USAID spent $8,840,000,000 in the last twenty years on Pakistan's education related program, including $136,000,000 to build 120 schools with zero evidence any were built; inspector general can't get in to see them. They spent $20,000,000 to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the school; 'You paid for it. Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism.'

The speaker proposes an amendment to stop funding Ukraine, claiming that the US has taken over the country and is fighting a proxy war without public approval. They argue that the US is providing extensive financial assistance, military equipment, and weapons to Ukraine, totaling $113 billion in 2022 alone. The speaker criticizes the state and foreign operations bill for granting Ukraine a blank check, allowing the State Department to bypass oversight. They express concern that this funding will perpetuate endless war and bring the conflict to American soil. The speaker cites polling data showing that a majority of Americans oppose further funding for Ukraine and believe the US has already done enough. They argue that taxpayer dollars should be used to secure the US southern border and combat issues like human trafficking. The speaker urges the adoption of their amendment.

We're sending millions in cash to Afghanistan, even weekly shipments of $40-80 million, to folks like the Haqqani network. This is on top of the $697 million annually, funding madrasas, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and terrorist training camps. Programs like the Women's Scholarship Endowment aren't helping women; they're funding terrorism through USAID. We're essentially paying welfare to Taliban martyrs' families, while American families who lost loved ones get nothing. Some argue this prevents them from joining ISIS, but it's a lie to justify funding our enemies. The US government has been backing these groups since the late '70s, using them against other countries and even against us. It's a setup for America's collapse.

I want to thank my colleague, Tim Birchitt, for introducing this important bill and my colleagues for cosponsoring it in the House and Senate. The fact that $40 million in cash payments are being delivered weekly to the Taliban is an outrage. After the terror attack on 9/11, the United States entered Afghanistan in 2001 when the Taliban refused to hand over Osama bin Laden. Since then, over 2,500 US military members have been killed. Now, the Taliban is the current reigning government of Afghanistan, so to send them money is unacceptable. 72% of Americans support cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal government. Americans work too hard to see their tax dollars go straight into the hands of terrorists through these cash payments and NGOs. I urge Speaker Mike Johnson to bring this bill to a vote and for all of our colleagues to vote yes to stop this money from being sent to the Taliban.

Speaker 0 contends that NGOs (nongovernment organizations) are not truly nongovernmental because they are funded by borrowing money and by money from donors, including billionaires. He claims they receive a large amount of funding, and the process involves borrowing funds and then distributing them to NGOs. He uses Afghanistan as an example, noting that there was a bill to defund the Taliban and that in the Senate there was opposition to adding NGOs to that effort. He argues that billionaire adversaries of the United States will put money into groups with fancy names (citing “feed the children” as a possible example)—a million dollars to start, which is "pennies on their dollars" for these donors. He asserts that these NGOs apply for federal money, and then an unelected bureaucrat in Washington declares them legitimate, leading to billions of dollars flowing to these organizations. Speaker 0 states that in Afghanistan alone, there are over a thousand nongovernment organizations operating there, and when combined with United Nations operations, the number could be multiples of thousands. He questions whether the money is being spent on certain events, asking, “do you really believe we're spending $10,000,000 on a dadgum drag show?” and asserts that the money ends up back in politicians’ pockets, with a paper trail that someone will uncover, though he believes it probably goes into dark money campaigns that oppose good Republicans as well. He concludes that this situation “has got to stop.” He ends by thanking Donald Trump and JD Vance.

The speaker claims the U.S. has given close to $5 billion to the Taliban via NGOs, and this continues. They allege this money cycles back to Washington, with a paper trail that Elon Musk has alluded to. The speaker believes USAID money goes "almost a %" right back to Democrat campaign coffers, with some Republicans also possibly benefiting. They state that Republican leadership is upset about these claims but acknowledges their truth. The speaker also questions how Joe Biden could have reviewed 8,000 pardon files, suggesting "payola" and shadiness in Washington D.C., particularly across various departments.

The fight to defend the guard has exposed deep corruption, lies, and backroom deals. Senator Wendy Rogers introduced Defend the Guard legislation, aiming to prevent our military from being used in undeclared foreign wars. However, Brigadier General John Connolly opposed the bill, raising national security concerns, even baselessly claiming Arizona would lose funding. Despite his incoherent arguments, the bill passed committee, however Senator Kevin Payne attempted to sway Senator Dunn's vote. Fortunately, Senator Dunn stood strong, helping the bill pass the committee. We're now heading to the full Senate for a vote, so please, contact your senators, we need volunteers to help make calls, and show up when this goes to the house to get this done.

Speaker 1 updates that the aid for Ukraine is being voted on in the House of Representatives and will likely pass. The next step is the Senate vote, expected early next week. They express support and admiration for Ukraine's bravery. The administration is preparing weapons and equipment to send quickly. Speaker 0 thanks Speaker 1 for the support and inspiration. They end with well wishes. "Slava, Ukraine."

I cannot guarantee that we are not currently funding the Taliban, which is concerning for both this committee and the American taxpayer.

The speaker was asked if there is evidence that Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer have received money directly from USAID. The speaker responded that taxpayer money is sent to government organizations, then to NGOs, which are government-funded but not governed by U.S. laws. Money is sent overseas to NGOs and the speaker is confident that some of it returns to the U.S. and ends up with the aforementioned politicians. The speaker states that it's not a direct route, but that some members of Congress are strangely wealthy, accumulating millions while earning significantly less annually, which is unexplainable. The speaker says they are going to try to figure it out and stop it from happening.

To pass my amendment, the Senate must remove Democrat leaders blocking it. I propose a vote on whether American taxpayer money should be used to fly illegal immigrants from Venezuela and Haiti into the US. President Biden has secretly flown 320,000 illegal aliens into Blue City airports in 2023. Vote against me to stop this practice. Time has expired.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss the presence and influence of the Taliban within government and international circles, and the U.S. approach to engagement. Speaker 1 suggests that while there may not be overt Taliban infiltration as a formal party, there are lobbyists, supporters, and Taliban in neckties and suits in Washington, pointing to the speech of the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan, Thomas West, as evidence of whitewashing the Taliban. Speaker 0 counters that the U.S. is in regular, productive dialogue with the Taliban, and believes the Taliban are sincere but frustrated. He notes that no sanctions have been passed against the Taliban since last August, that four Americans have returned, but several remain in Taliban custody. He also highlights that the U.S. has backed the shipment of hundreds of millions of dollars in cash into the country since August, and claims it is actually over $1,000,000,000. Speaker 0 states that the U.S. has cooperated with the Taliban on certain discrete issues, including closing roads and managing crowds to prevent terrorist disruption, and that he has had a series of engagements with senior Taliban leaders. When asked about returning to Afghanistan to meet with the Taliban, he says, “The sooner, the better,” noting that the Taliban want sanctions relief, development aid, and a big seat at the table. He mentions an announced plan to pump in another $308,000,000, and describes mechanisms that are getting hundreds of millions of dollars in cash directly into the banking system. The Taliban purportedly want to seat their permanent representative in New York. ISIS-K is described as a common enemy, with the Taliban maintaining a vigorous and robust effort against it. He asserts that, despite concerns, they are building productive relationships and an honest dialogue with Taliban members, while acknowledging the priority of countering ISIS-K. He references the Doha agreement breach by the Taliban in sheltering Ayman al-Zawahiri in downtown Kabul, which he characterizes as unacceptable and a major breach, and states that even after this event, the U.S. is prepared to engage pragmatically with the Taliban regarding terrorism concerns. Speaker 1 adds that the UN and World Bank are developing a humanitarian exchange facility to move more Afghans into the system, noting that many banknotes have circulated for over ten years and are not accepted by shops or the central bank. He mentions a private-sector arrangement in Europe facilitating the shipment of hundreds of millions in cash into private banks in Afghanistan, with money going to the Afghanistan International Bank (AIB), which allegedly lacks authority to convert dollars to Afghanis and to auction them, and then passes funds to the Taliban-controlled Central Bank of Afghanistan. He asks who is in charge of the Central Bank, identifying Nur Ahmad Ora as the head, described as sanctioned by the U.S. for financing IED attacks that killed American soldiers. He concludes that diplomacy with the Taliban is essential to achieve objectives and asks whether there are Taliban in elections, asserting that they hold official offices and are present, urging the listener to review their statements to determine if they are Taliban sympathizers or whitewashing the Taliban. The conversation ends with Speaker 0 remarking, “Man, that's scary.”

Tim Burtchett is working on a bill to defund the Taliban, which has been in progress for over a year. Democrats have proposed four amendments. According to Burtchett, three of the amendments are acceptable, but one would undermine the bill's purpose. The outcome is uncertain, but he will provide updates. He believes the bill is based on common sense but suggests that common sense is lacking in the current environment.

The speaker was asked if there is evidence that Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Chuck Schumer have received money directly from USAID. The speaker responded that taxpayer money is sent to government organizations, then to NGOs, which are government-funded but not governed by U.S. laws. Money is sent overseas to NGOs and the speaker is confident that some of it returns to the U.S. and ends up with the aforementioned politicians. The speaker states that it's not a direct route, but that some members of Congress are strangely wealthy, accumulating millions while earning salaries of only around $200,000 per year. The speaker says they are going to try to figure it out and stop it from happening.

The US is allegedly funding the Taliban with $40 to $87 million weekly, totaling billions of dollars. This claim originated from an interview on the Sean Ryan show, where "Legend," an Afghan American and former US Army officer, reported that US cash shipments to the Afghan Central Bank were benefiting the Taliban. The cash is reportedly flown to Afghanistan and auctioned off to the Taliban in exchange for Afghan currency. Critics argue that taxpayer money is going to terrorists that the US fought for twenty years, with USAID distributing US cash in Afghanistan. Congressman Tim Birchitt introduced bill H.R. 260, "No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act," to stop the funding. The bill requires the State Department to develop a strategy to discourage financial support to the Taliban from foreign countries and NGOs. Critics urge the public to pressure senators to act on the bill.

American taxpayer money is funding the Taliban through $40,000,000 sent weekly by the US government to Afghanistan. The money goes through the Afghanistan International Bank to the Taliban-controlled Central Bank, led by a sanctioned terrorist. The Central Bank auctions the dollars to licensed money dealers involved in the hawala system.

The Resolve Tibet Act passed the US Senate unanimously, reaffirming Tibetan people's right to self determination. Tibet supporters and activists lobbied for over a year for this bill. The next step is reconciliation with the House version before heading to the White House.

We spent $9 billion to resettle around 90,000 Afghan refugees since the fall of Afghanistan, averaging about $100,000 per person, which seems excessive. My question is, why are we providing any funds when we don't even have an embassy or diplomats in Afghanistan? The funds we provide come through partners like UN agencies and NGOs. We could apply that reasoning to all foreign aid, including funds going to foreign adversaries.

We send $40-87 million weekly to Afghanistan, some of which goes to Taliban martyrs' families as welfare. US families of fallen soldiers get nothing. Some justify this by saying it prevents Taliban members from joining ISIS, but the Taliban members are already dead. It's enraging that we fund our enemies while ignoring where the money goes.

What's the deal with those dadgum NGOs? Nongovernment organizations. 'They're not nongovernment because you and I fund it. We borrow the money to send to them.' Afghanistan, for instance, where we had the bill to defund the Taliban. 'In the senate now, but and the other side, oh, man, they pitched a fit when we added NGOs. We're cutting them off.' 'Do you really believe we're spending $10,000,000 on a dadgum drag show? Where's the money go?' 'Afghanistan alone, over a thousand nongovernment organizations are working out.' 'There’s a paper trail.' 'Somebody's gonna find out about it, but we know it probably goes into dark money campaigns, fighting good Republicans as well.' 'And thank you Donald Trump and JD Vance.' Dadgummit.

American taxpayer money is currently funding the Taliban, a situation that has persisted since September 2021. The U.S. administration is sending $40 million weekly in cash to Afghanistan. This money goes to the Afghanistan International Bank, which cannot convert it to Afghani or auction it. Instead, it is transferred to the Taliban-controlled Central Bank of Afghanistan, led by Nura Madoro, a sanctioned terrorist responsible for financing attacks against U.S. soldiers. The Central Bank then conducts bidding sessions where licensed money dealers participate to buy the dollars.

The speaker claims that $697,000,000 of U.S. money annually funds Madrasas, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorazan, and terrorist training camps. They allege that programs like the Women's Scholarship Endowment ($60,000,000 annually) and Young Women Lead ($5,000,000 annually) are not benefiting Afghan women, because the Taliban does not allow women to speak in public. The speaker states that USAID spent $8,840,000,000 in the last twenty years on Pakistan's education programs, including $136,000,000 to build 120 schools, but there is zero evidence that any were built. They add that USAID spent $20,000,000 to create educational television programs for children unable to attend these nonexistent schools. The speaker concludes that U.S. money is funding terrorism and demands that it end.

Just left the house floor where we passed the National Defense Authorization Act. I voted against it due to $500 million in foreign aid, which many opposed. There are provisions for travel related to abortions and poorly written transgender language that could worsen issues. The Pentagon still hasn't passed an audit after multiple attempts, and we need to do better. This isn't what you voted for, and there are lobbyists involved that affect these decisions. We’ll keep fighting, but it's crucial for you to hold us accountable. Thank you for your support.
