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.

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.

The speaker claims that the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, the antisemitic riots after October 7, and current pro-illegal immigration protests are not organic, but funded by radicals, Marxists, and jihadists. These groups are allegedly funding violence and extremism. The speaker has introduced the Stop Funders Act, which adds rioting to the list of predicate crimes under RICO. This would allow federal prosecutors to target those who are financially supporting these activities. The speaker suggests that the Department of Justice should follow the money and prosecute those funding violence, harassment, and actions aimed at tearing down the country. The speaker believes that those funding these attacks on America are more dangerous than the mafia.

The speaker argues that there are fake NGOs functioning as fake charities and that arrests should be made in relation to them. The claim is that these organizations are predominantly operated by Democrats, with occasional involvement by Republicans who are supposedly kept quiet by those false charitable activities. The speaker describes this pattern as evidence of a broader “uniparty” dynamic, suggesting that both major parties are involved in a system designed to influence politics. According to the speaker, the majority of the money flows to Democrats through these NGOs. They assert that billions of dollars are given to NGOs run by Democrats, and these organizations then channel funds through a large network of additional non-governmental organizations. This network allegedly creates a “giant money laundering scheme,” to the point where the speaker states that the words NGO and money laundering are almost synonymous. Key claims highlighted include: - Existence of fake NGOs that operate as fake charities. - A call for arrests related to these fake NGOs. - Predominant involvement of Democrats in running these NGOs, with occasional Republican involvement used to quiet concerns. - A description of a uniparty dynamic, implying bipartisan collusion or alignment in this activity. - Large-scale funding (billions of dollars) flowing to NGOs run by Democrats. - A subsequent cascade through a network of additional NGOs, forming a vast money laundering scheme. - The assertion that NGO activity and money laundering are nearly interchangeable in this context. The speaker emphasizes that the overall operation constitutes a substantial financial mechanism linked to political influence, portraying the NGO network as a conduit for laundering money rather than purely charitable activity. The overall framing is that the integrity of NGOs involved in political funding is compromised by this alleged system, tying NGO activity directly to money laundering in a way that equates the two terms in the speaker’s characterization.

The US government runs a $2 trillion deficit annually and is almost $40 trillion in debt, yet cutting spending is difficult. The speaker claims the money is "round tripping" to various entities. The New York Times, Politico, Bill Crystal, and Ukraine are allegedly getting paid. Eleven out of twelve publications in Ukraine are also supposedly recipients. Viktor Orban's political opposition in Hungary and the left-wing political opposition in Poland are allegedly funded by USAID. The BBC is also purportedly getting paid. The speaker asserts that USAID, which disperses about $50 billion a year, funds every left-wing organization globally. This allegedly contradicts the left's image as a grassroots movement, suggesting instead an "astroturf" operation where money flows from Washington to fund groups worldwide, thus questioning the true level of local support for left-wing policies.

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.

The speaker raises concerns about $50 million in taxpayer money granted to the Climate Justice Alliance by the EPA. They criticize the organization's radical initiatives, including defunding the police and military, and anti-American and anti-Israel sentiments. The speaker questions if the funds will truly be used for environmental purposes or for protests. They express disappointment in the lack of oversight by the EPA and the Biden administration. The speaker plans to investigate further in the environment and public works committee.

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 DOGE Subcommittee is examining federal funding for public radio and television, asserting that over half a billion dollars are spent annually on NPR and PBS. These entities allegedly create content for public radio and TV stations nationwide. The speaker claims that NPR and PBS have become "radical left wing echo chambers" for wealthy, urban liberals, citing examples such as featuring a drag queen on a children's show and producing a documentary called Growing Up Trans. They claim that PBS is one of the founders of the "trans child abuse industry." The speaker references an essay by Yuri Berliner, a veteran NPR editor, who described NPR's leftward shift during the Trump administration, including its focus on Russiagate and embrace of DEI ideology. Berliner was allegedly forced to resign after raising concerns. The speaker criticizes NPR's CEO, Katherine Marr, for dismissing Berliner's concerns and for her own progressive views. The speaker questions whether taxpayers should continue funding NPR and PBS.

The speaker says they “followed the money” to what they call the “protest industrial complex,” “Riot Inc.,” and identified a network of NGOs funding the ecosystem. They state the funding extends beyond the Soros/Open Society network to other funding networks, including the Arabella Funding Network, the Tides Funding Network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, and “Foreign Cash,” along with “big, left wing” funders, including non-citizens. The speaker names Mr. Hans Georg Wiese of Switzerland as an example of such funders. The speaker presents three “money facts” about Riot Inc. First, they describe Riot Inc. as having divisions similar to a corporation: not only an “Antifa boots on the ground” division, but also PR divisions, marketing divisions, and a “very well funded legal division” to “get these boots on the ground back on the streets as quickly as possible,” alongside the investors previously mentioned. Second, they claim they identified “dozens of radical organizations” that received more than $100,000,000 from Riot Inc. investors, including “lawyer groups” that advocate for calling “good honest Americans fascists.” Third, they claim that more than $100,000,000 in U.S. taxpayer funding flowed into these funding networks, including at least $4,000,000 to “these very groups themselves.” They cite an Atlanta event called “Stop Cop City,” saying more than 60 rioters were charged with domestic terrorism and that these groups received money from both “the billionaire class” and “taxpayer money” for that. The speaker also claims that this money helps fund decentralized crowdfunding platforms used by groups such as “Antifa,” the “John Brown Gun Club of Elm Fork” (linked by the speaker to an attack on an ice facility), and the “Socialist Rifle Association.” They add that groups without LLCs or EIN numbers can still be paid through these crowdfunding platforms. The speaker closes by saying they will keep “following the money” and thanks the audience for leadership.

- The speakers criticize a new funding bill as a bloated, bipartisan package totaling over $1.7 trillion, arguing it represents a “middle finger” to American taxpayers and funds more than merely keeping the lights on. They claim both parties supported it, eliminating any real fiscal fight. - They highlight a provision referred to as health care extenders on page 772, noting that temporary pandemic expansions in health and welfare programs are now baked in as permanent costs for taxpayers. This is presented as evidence that eligibility expansions for Medicare are being locked in. - They point to Israel-related spending buried within the bill, noting provisions allocating hundreds of millions of dollars for Israeli missile defense programs, including the Iron Dome, on page 101 of the 1,059-page bill. They argue that funding the U.S. government is linked to funding a foreign defense system, and that this represents corporate welfare for well-connected interests in Washington. - The discussion asserts that Ukraine-related funding is not explicitly in the bill as written, but that money may still be funneled through contractors or other channels. They question whether there will be a final victory lap on supposedly winding down Ukraine aid, suggesting money remains flowing covertly. - They discuss the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, noting that money for NED remained in the bill despite amendments to cut funding. They describe NED as a non-partisan tool that has supported regime-change activities, including actions in Iran and Venezuela, and criticize both parties for preserving this funding. - They critique the consolidation of aid into the State Department, specifically via USAID under Marco Rubio, arguing that oversight has weakened and that funding is redirected for various foreign policy aims (e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, Iran). They discuss the influence of Rubio on where funds go and describe the arrangement as increasing executive-led control with limited transparency. - They argue that the bill reflects a broader pattern of government spending: a so-called “uni-party” consensus that avoids reducing government size, with both parties acting in lockstep on foreign and domestic priorities. - The conversation touches on public opinion, citing a Gallup poll that suggests younger generations despise both major parties, and they link this to perceived bipartisan over-spending and interventionism. - Throughout, the viewers criticize what they see as a routine of declaring emergencies and then normalizing permanent programs, suggesting that emergency measures become permanent and that the political system uses crisis rhetoric to justify ongoing expenditure. - The discussion ends with remarks on political leadership, labeling Speaker Johnson as a weak figure and coining a proposed “fuck it party” as a first-principles anti-war alternative, with participants noting they would join or support it. Daniel McAdams provided expert commentary throughout.

The speaker claims that an analysis of political donations from the State Department, USAID, and the National Endowment for Democracy reveals that 94-98% of donations went to the left. This pattern allegedly extends to international NGOs and contractors, including World Vision and Catholic Relief Services, with over 90% of political donations favoring the left. The speaker suggests these organizations' boards consist of highly paid, prominent individuals. The speaker alleges the left is misusing USAID and taxpayer money across the federal government as a slush fund to finance their own people, creating a one-sided apparatus that funds only one side of the political equation.

The Third Precinct has been compromised. USAID used taxpayer money for BLM ($27 million), Soros (at least $260 million), and the WEF ($68 million). Taxpayers allegedly paid for these entities to burn down cities, destroy America, launder money to Democrats, and subsidize the WEF. USAID also funded Middle East Sesame Street ($20 million) and Ukraine ($1 billion). It is claimed that the prosecutor got fired because the money was not received. These actions are described as despicable, appalling, dangerous, and Democrat propaganda via fake news. It is considered an extremely dangerous use of taxpayer funds and a threat to democracy. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

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.

The speaker believes 95-99% of Congress should be tried for treason for allowing Israel and its money to control everything in the United States. They claim the U.S. does not have control over itself because Congress is controlled by a foreign nation that does not have America's best interests in mind. The speaker cites a vote to cut $500 million from going to Israel, alleging it goes towards bombing kids, and claims 455 people voted to keep it, while only six voted against it. Marjorie Taylor Greene is praised for opposing the funding. The speaker asserts Israel controls the United States 100% and suggests people should investigate how much money each congressperson has taken from APAC, which they describe as an Israeli funding service. They also allege most members of Congress are probably on the Epstein list.

The speaker claims ADL, APAC, and UJA Federation are "arms of Mossad." APAC allegedly buys Congress, ADL erodes civil liberties to legislate protections for Jews, and UJA Federation funds operations, including 9/11. The speaker connects Trump's endorsements of Lee Zeldin, Elise Stefanik, and Kristi Noem to these groups. Zeldin is allegedly funded by AIG, Seth Clarman, Daniel Loeb, and UJA Federation. Stefanik is allegedly funded by the same people and involved with the National Endowment for Democracy, which the speaker connects to fires in West Hollywood with Karen Bass and Kenneth Wallach, a former legislative director of APAC. Noem passed antisemitism laws in South Dakota. The speaker expresses concern about these endorsements and Trump's nomination of Kash Patel for FBI director, who the speaker says called for prioritizing truth.

The transcript claims the organizers “followed the money” to what they call “Riot Inc.” and its “protest industrial complex,” stating it involves a network of NGOs funded by multiple sources, including the Soros/Open Society network, the Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network, the network of Neville Roy Singham, “Foreign Cash,” and “big left wing funders.” It also says some funders “aren’t citizens of this country,” citing Mr. Hansjorg Veiss of Switzerland. The speaker presents three “money facts” about Riot Inc. First, like any corporation, Riot Inc. is described as having many divisions beyond an “anti… boots on the ground division,” including PR, marketing, and a “very well-funded legal division” intended to get “boots on the ground” back on the streets quickly. The transcript states that Riot Inc. has “investors that I mentioned.” Second, the speaker claims “dozens of radical organizations” have received “more than one hundred million dollars” from Riot Inc. investors. These organizations are described as including “lawyer groups” and groups that advocate labeling “good, honest Americans” as “fascists.” Third, the transcript claims “more than one hundred million dollars in US taxpayer funding” flowed into these funding networks, including “at least four million dollars” to “these very groups themselves.” It cites an Atlanta event called “Stop Cop City,” saying “over sixty rioters were charged with domestic terrorism,” and claims these groups received money for that from both “the billionaire class as well as taxpayer money.” The transcript further claims the money helps fund “de-decentralized crowdfunding platforms,” naming groups and references such as “Antifa,” “the John Brown Gun Club of Elm Fork” (stated as having links to an attack on an ice facility), and “the Socialist Rifle Association.” It adds that some crowdfunding platforms are funded by the Riot Inc network, and asserts that lacking LLCs or EIN numbers “doesn’t mean they can’t get paid.” The speaker closes by stating they will “keep following the money” and thanking leadership.

A journalist asks if there’s someone who can be spoken to about hearing, and is directed to the other side of the park. The exchange turns into a broader set of allegations about a man named Naftali Aaron Kranz and the organization Get Free. The speaker claims Naftali Kranz is a paid protester through Get Free. They present LinkedIn posts recruiting for paid protesters for the company, described as Get Free’s “part time mobilization support contractor.” The speaker asserts Get Free bills itself as a grassroots organization while Naftali and others are allegedly paid to protest. They claim Get Free aims to “undo white supremacy” and that one of the best ways to do that, in Naftali’s view, is to celebrate vandalism, citing Crown Heights, where someone threw an egg at a stranger’s cyber truck and placed dog feces on it. The speaker contends Naftali attended an abolish the police rally but was not the leader, instead blending in among other recruits, and that he works with the DSA, explaining why the speaker met him at a DSA Tax the Rich rally. On LinkedIn, the speaker says Naftali frequently posts about paid protester roles, urging people to join to “help us expand our effort to win reparations across the country,” with recruitment across Chicago, the Bay Area, and Baltimore. They describe a nine-week contract, part-time, paying $3,400 in stipends biweekly, seeking someone excited about experimentation who will recruit people and train them to drive turnout at events. The speaker also says Naftali is part of Jews Against Trump and urges donations to bail funds to “bail immigrants out of concentration camps,” adding a claim that a Jewish person who calls an immigration detention center a concentration camp has a serious mental illness, and criticizing colleges like NYU, the Democrat party, and mainstream media as brainwashing. The speaker asserts Nicole Cardi is at the top of the Get Free Movement and claims she says the George Floyd protests were the reason Biden won the 2020 election. They argue that protest NGO groups are about getting Democrats elected, and that donations to Get Free are funneled through ActBlue, which the speaker says is under investigation by the Department of Justice for foreign contributions. The speaker alleges ActBlue has funneled billions to activist groups like Indivisible Twin Cities, which is said to be orchestrating resistance to ICE agents in Minneapolis. Indivisible is claimed to have paid protesters and received over 7,600,000 dollars from the Open Society Foundation, funded by George Soros.

The U.S. is $36 trillion in debt, with interest expected to exceed $1 trillion in fiscal year 2025. The speaker alleges waste, fraud, and abuse within the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, citing LGBTQ indoctrination, systematic racism narratives, and censorship support by NPR and PBS heads. The speaker claims that the CPB, funded with over $500 million, serves wealthy, liberal elites and that PBS and NPR are brainwashing Americans with un-American, anti-family, pro-crime, fake news. Examples include an NPR article discussing the complexities of biological sex and another claiming crime stories are rife with misinformation and racism. The speaker also mentions a PBS NewsHour segment that allegedly gave over 90% of airtime to the left on gender ideology stories and a child predator drag queen featured on a PBS education show for children ages three to eight. The speaker asserts that NPR and PBS have abandoned unbiased reporting and are suppressing truth and diverse viewpoints. The speaker will call for the complete defunding and dismantling of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The transcript presents a speaker arguing that Gavin Newsom’s welfare fraud problems are far worse than those attributed to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and that the liberal media is not addressing these issues. The speaker states that Newsom “allowed $30,000,000,000 in fraudulent welfare payments to be issued by the unemployment agency,” and that as a result, small businesses in California must pay off all of that debt through higher payroll taxes. The speaker contrasts this with Walz, who is “accused of allowing $250,000,000 of food stamp fraud to occur to Somali organizations.” The speaker asserts that Newsom’s food stamp fraud is at a multi-billion-dollar level and claims Newsom’s food stamp fraud rate is “thirteen point four percent,” describing it as “three out of every 20 benefits managed by Newsom's administration for food stamps completely fraudulent.” Additionally, the speaker contends that California funds “left wing NGOs,” including various Somali community organizations in Minnesota, and asserts that “a lot of those NGOs are using taxpayer money for politics.” The speaker claims that the liberal media is not covering any of these scandals and asserts that people should know these alleged facts because they are not being discussed by the media. In summary, the speaker asserts: - Newsom’s welfare fraud is exponentially worse than Walz’s, with $30 billion in fraudulent unemployment payments allegedly issued by California’s unemployment agency. - As a consequence, small California businesses must bear the cost via higher payroll taxes. - Walz is accused of allowing $250 million of food stamp fraud targeting Somali organizations. - Newsom’s food stamp fraud is claimed to be multi-billion in scope, with a fraud rate of 13.4% (three of every twenty benefits). - California is funding left-wing NGOs, including Somali-related organizations, with taxpayer money used for political purposes. - The liberal media is not covering these alleged scandals, and the speaker asserts these are important facts that should be known.

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.

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.
