I was concerned by a video of an EPA political appointee talking about tossing gold bars off the Titanic to distribute billions of dollars before inauguration day. The appointee mentioned getting money out fast before the new administration came in, referencing "gold bars" going to nonprofits, states, and tribes. I don't know what grants they were referencing, but they mentioned tossing gold bars off the Titanic to get jobs from recipient NGOs. They claimed to have given out tens of billions of dollars last year, including $50 million, or maybe $50 billion, for a Climate Bank, suggesting they could then go work for one of these organizations. I don't know what any of that's about, but it's concerning. I want to be a good steward of tax dollars.

The Inflation Reduction Act's $40 billion for environmental justice through the EPA warrants scrutiny. My staff investigated and found the EPA granted $50 million to the Climate Justice Alliance in December. Their website depicts a bulldozer breaching a fence during the Hamas attack on Israel, alongside the slogan "decolonize Palestine." Further research reveals their affiliation with groups advocating defunding the police and military, and holding anti-American, anti-Israel, and antisemitic views. This raises concerns about how taxpayer money is being used. Is it truly funding environmental cleanup, or is it supporting radical protests? The lack of an EPA inspector general to oversee this funding is alarming. The Biden administration's apparent disregard for this is troubling, and we, on the Environment and Public Works Committee, will continue to investigate.

Speaker 0: The seventy six day period is the time between when President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right? Speaker 1: Correct. During that period, from the loan program office in loans and commitments, $93,000,000,000 went out the door—well over twice as much as in the previous fifteen years. There were funds that went out the door and commitments made from businesses that provided no business plan and no numbers about their own financial solvency or how this project... Speaker 0: So you’re telling me that the Department of Energy, in the seventy six day period, before their boss was going to leave office, gave our loan money to entities that had no business plan? Correct. No financials? Speaker 1: Correct. I’ve come in with great concern about how this institution, Speaker 0: this great American institution has been run and how American taxpayer money has been handled. You’re going back through and checking each one of these loans and these grants to make sure there was no stealing, aren’t you? Speaker 1: We’re looking at that, and yes, my blood pressure is rising right now just thinking about what we have seen and what did happen at the moment. Gonna tell some of these boondoggles no, aren’t you? Speaker 0: That’s correct. I am. It’s rare that I’m speechless, but I want to be sure I understood. The people running the Department of Energy for President Biden’s administration shoveled $93,000,000,000 out the door in seventy six days, and it just happened to be the time between when President Trump was elected and President Biden, their boss, was leaving. Is that right? Speaker 1: It is correct and distasteful. Confidence undermining. My god.

The speakers discuss environmental concerns related to Tesla cars, mentioning toxic battery fires and pollution. They claim that NGOs fund these fires and that Elon Musk and his team are uncovering the network of NGOs funded by USAID and similar programs. They allege that USAID is an arm of the government focused on regime change, funneling money to other countries under the guise of aid to exert influence globally and domestically. They claim these NGOs organize protests, paying people to attend, sometimes leading to vandalism. The speakers express surprise that the left is upset about uncovering fraud and waste and is supposedly painting swastikas on cars. They point out the irony of the left being upset about not continuing the war in Ukraine.

I'm concerned about the scrutiny USAID is facing. It's an organization that promotes national security, human rights, and global health. But, some USAID projects are questionable uses of taxpayer money. For example, millions of dollars have gone to tourism in Egypt, a Democratic Party propaganda arm, transgender opera in Colombia, sex changes in Guatemala, bat research in Wuhan, and even a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. These expenditures raise serious questions about how taxpayer money is being spent. We need to take a closer look at these allocations.

I've found some questionable expenditures by USAID, like the $3,000,000 given to a rap artist in Gaza who was producing anti-Israel, anti-Semitic songs. Is that really the best way to use American taxpayer money? I don't think so. During tomorrow's hearing, we will be addressing this issue, as well as the fact that the woke ideology that USAID is pushing in various parts of the world is not welcomed.

As EPA Administrator, my top priority is to protect your tax dollars from waste and abuse. A disturbing video revealed a Biden EPA appointee seemingly wasting billions of dollars, which prompted my commitment to a full accounting. My team discovered roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA in an unprecedented scheme designed to rush funds with reduced oversight. This money was awarded to just eight entities, including nearly $7 billion to the Climate United Fund, raising questions about allocation decisions, recipients, and potential conflicts of interest. I want to be clear, there is zero reason to suspect any wrongdoing by the bank. The financial agent agreement with the bank needs to be instantly terminated, and the bank must immediately return all of the funds. EPA will reassume responsibility for all funds, review every expenditure, and refer the matter to the inspector general and Justice Department. The days of irresponsible spending on far-left activist groups are over. We will ensure a more transparent and accountable government.

This is a green slush fund. The Biden administration parked $20 billion in an outside bank, giving it to eight NGOs, many created just to get this money. The EPA entered into an agreement with these entities, designed to tie the government's hands, so we don't know where the money is going. Only about 5% actually goes towards the environment. One CEO, serving on the White House Environmental Justice Council, received $20 million. Account control agreements were amended to reduce EPA oversight. The Justice Department and FBI are working with us, and we must ensure accountability. There should be zero tolerance for wasted money.

My team discovered roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars parked at an outside financial institution by the previous administration. This unprecedented scheme awarded funds to eight entities responsible for distributing money with reduced transparency; almost $7 billion went to one entity, the Climate United Fund. We have serious questions about fund allocation and potential conflicts of interest. There is no reason to suspect wrongdoing by the bank, but the financial agreement must be terminated immediately, and the funds returned to EPA control. We will review all expenditures and refer the matter to the inspector general and the Justice Department. The days of irresponsible spending on activist groups are over. We are committed to transparency and accountability. We found the funds, and now we will regain control as we pursue next steps.

The speakers are concerned about the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which they call the "Invest in Radical Activities Act," and the EPA's distribution of $3 billion in grants. They claim that much of this money is going to groups engaged in anti-American activities, including anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-police, and anti-border security stances. Specific examples include the Climate Justice Alliance ($100 million), which has allegedly glorified Hamas and denies Israel's right to exist; the NDN Collective, which calls the U.S. a "so-called country" and advocates defunding the police and military; New York and New Jersey coalitions ($50 million) that view borders and citizenship as racist; Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs ($50 million) who want to abolish police and prisons; and the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights ($1.3 billion) who advocate defunding police, decriminalizing shoplifting, and abolishing prisons. They criticize the EPA's lack of oversight and accountability, noting that the agency claims political beliefs aren't considered in grant decisions. The speakers argue that money is fungible and that funding these groups frees up other funds for political activities. They are urging the EPA not to disperse the money and plan to defund these initiatives and increase oversight when they regain control of Congress.

The Inflation Reduction Act, nearly two years old, is being scrutinized for funding organizations perceived as radical and anti-American. Over $3 billion allocated through the EPA is reportedly going to groups that promote anti-police, anti-border security, and anti-Israel sentiments. Notable recipients include the Climate Justice Alliance and the NDN Collective, which advocate for defunding police and military. Concerns are raised about the lack of oversight and accountability in how taxpayer money is spent. Calls for increased scrutiny and potential defunding of these initiatives are emphasized, especially if there is a change in congressional control. The urgency to address these issues is highlighted, as the administration appears to be rushing to distribute funds before potential changes in leadership.

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.

The speaker expresses disbelief that the Department of Energy under the Biden administration disbursed $93 billion in 76 days between President Trump's election and President Biden taking office. The speaker confirms with an interviewee that these funds were given to entities lacking business plans and financials. The speaker characterizes this as "distasteful" and "confidence undermining."

As EPA Administrator, my top priority is to protect your tax dollars from waste and abuse. A disturbing video revealed a Biden EPA appointee discussing the wasteful spending of billions of tax dollars, likening it to throwing "gold bars" (tax dollars) off the Titanic. My team discovered that roughly $20 billion was parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA, a scheme designed to quickly obligate funds with reduced oversight. This money was awarded to just eight entities, who then distributed it to NGOs with less transparency. Almost $7 billion went to one entity, raising questions about fund allocation and potential conflicts of interest. While there's no suspicion of wrongdoing by the bank, the agreement must be terminated, and the funds returned to the EPA. We'll review all expenditures, refer the matter to the inspector general, and work with the Justice Department to ensure accountability.

Taxpayer money is sent to government organizations, then to NGOs. If it's a government-funded NGO, it's effectively just the government. A fraud loophole exists because the government can send money to an NGO that is no longer governed by U.S. laws. The money is sent overseas to one NGO, then through others. The speaker is highly confident that some of that money returns to the U.S. and enriches certain people. There are strangely wealthy members of Congress, and it's unclear how they accumulated millions while earning comparatively little. The speaker aims to investigate this and prevent it from continuing.

This $20 billion "green slush fund" was set up by the Biden administration with money parked in an outside bank and given to eight NGOs, many newly created just to receive these funds. The EPA entered account control agreements with these entities, designed to limit federal oversight, allowing money to flow through multiple layers of pass-throughs to subgrantees. The funds aren't directly remediating environmental issues, but rather going to friends and those connected to the Obama and Biden administrations as well as donors. A CEO serving on Biden's White House Environmental Justice Council received $20 million for her organization while on the council. The EPA's oversight was further reduced through amended account control agreements right up to the inauguration, making it easier to pass through money unchecked.

During a congressional hearing, a senator questioned a secretary about the Department of Energy's spending. The senator highlighted that $93 billion in loans and commitments were issued in the 76-day period between President Trump's election and President Biden leaving office, more than double the amount from the previous 15 years. The secretary admitted that due diligence was likely not done in many cases, with funds going to entities lacking business plans or financial solvency. The secretary stated that they are reviewing loans and grants to check for stealing and incompetence. The senator expressed concern over potential "boondoggles" and hoped for referrals of "thieves" to the Department of Justice. The secretary also confirmed a planned reduction of several thousand employees, crediting President Trump for empowering departments to make necessary changes.

In April 2024, the Biden-Harris administration, through the EPA, allocated $7 billion to the United Climate Fund, part of a larger $20 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund hidden within the Inflation Reduction Act. This money was funneled to Power Forward Communities, connected to Stacey Abrams, lacking transparency and accountability. An EPA official revealed this as an "insurance policy" against Trump winning the election, indicating a rushed cash dump. The $20 billion was stashed at Citibank but is now being reclaimed by the government. This isn't incompetence; it's calculated theft.

President Trump promised to review federal spending, and that's what Musk is doing. Some Democratic colleagues are upset about this review, but it's necessary. For four years, the focus has been on who should pay more taxes, while Republicans are asking where the money went. Examples of questionable spending include $520 million for ESG investments in Africa and $45 million for DEI scholarships in Burma. Democrats are not defending this spending but are instead focused on process and authority. Musk has the president's backing to examine these expenditures. It would be beneficial to compile this spending into a booklet and publicly address each item, challenging Democrats to defend it, which they likely cannot do.

The Doge Subcommittee hearing aims to expose the alleged abuse of tax dollars by left-leaning NGOs. According to the hearing, the Democratic administration funnels federal funds to NGOs, who then donate to Democratic campaigns, creating a cycle of corruption. The hearing claims these NGOs act as an extension of the government, pushing policies opposed by Americans, such as green energy initiatives and the resettlement of illegal immigrants. Specifically, the hearing alleges the Biden EPA directed billions to climate NGOs through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), and that Power Forward, a newly created non-profit, received $2 billion from the EPA. The hearing also claims that federally funded NGOs support illegal immigration by providing resources to illegal aliens, enabling criminals to enter American communities. Catholic Charities and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service are cited as examples, along with UN programs that provide cash and prepaid debit cards to illegal aliens. The hearing concludes that this scheme seeks to destroy the country and must be stopped.
