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 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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."

Hunter Biden claims he's broke and can't afford a laptop lawsuit, despite his education and experience. This raises questions about where the Biden's money comes from, especially after leaving government. The government should work for the people, not enrich politicians and their friends. Past administrations pledged to cut wasteful spending, but the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act became a vehicle for enriching political allies through green initiatives. Organizations with ties to Biden and Obama received substantial grants, and individuals with connections to the administration landed lucrative positions. Government-funded NGOs enable practices that would be illegal if done directly by the government. These nonprofits are used to enrich individuals. Instead of directly supporting solar and wind companies, money is funneled to political allies. A solar panel company that received a $3 billion loan from Biden is on the verge of bankruptcy. It's time to prosecute corruption and get taxpayers a refund.

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.

There's graft occurring, and the left is upset because Elon Musk bravely stated there is a paper trail that will expose where taxpayer money is going, likely into politicians' pockets. In the past, it's been documented to go into campaigns, but now, people, possibly even members of Congress, should go to jail if they or their family members are profiting from this. Billionaires form NGOs with prominent board members, and the government dumps stolen taxpayer money into them, which is then filtered out among board members and political friends. Musk will document this, which is why there's such a strong reaction. Many prominent Democrats have ties to these NGOs, including Obama's transportation secretary, Biden's EPA chief, Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom. The hope is to prevent America from going bankrupt.

As EPA Administrator, my top priority is to protect your tax dollars. A disturbing video revealed a Biden EPA appointee discussing wasting billions of tax dollars. My team discovered that roughly $20 billion was parked at an outside financial institution, a first in EPA history, designed to rush obligations with reduced oversight. This money was awarded to only eight entities, including nearly $7 billion to the Climate United Fund, raising questions about fund allocation and potential conflicts of interest. There is no reason to suspect any wrongdoing by the bank. I am ordering the financial agent agreement with the bank to be terminated, and the bank must immediately return all funds to the EPA.

We will ensure a transparent and accountable government.

There's tremendous fraud and abuse happening, and I'm holding a news conference tomorrow to reveal some of the entities that have received hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars. It's hard to believe this kind of fraud can occur. When you see billions being wasted illegally, there's likely kickbacks or corruption involved. Millions are given for minimal effort, and that money comes back in some form. They're spending massive amounts of money on ridiculous items. Out of 200 expenditures I reviewed, only three seemed reasonable. I commend Elon for his work in uncovering this fraud. He doesn't need to do this, especially with the abuse he faces. He and his team, which started with 12 people and has now grown to almost a hundred, have found more than anyone else could. People are joining to help because there's massive fraud.

The shocking part of investigating government-funded NGOs is that small decisions lead to massive, multi-billion dollar outcomes. I saw one instance of $1.9 billion being sent to an NGO that was formed a year prior and had no prior activity. Government-funded NGOs are essentially a loophole, allowing actions that would be illegal for the government directly but become permissible through nonprofits. These nonprofits are then used for personal enrichment, with individuals cashing out and paying themselves exorbitant sums. It's a giant scam where people can establish an NGO for a relatively small investment and then lobby politicians to funnel vast sums of money into it. There might be some good that comes from them, maybe 5 or 10%, but the rest is not.

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.

As EPA Administrator, I'm committed to fiscal responsibility and transparency. A disturbing video revealed a Biden appointee discussing the wasteful spending of tax dollars.

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.

Speaker 0 highlights that a tremendous amount of money is being sent to nongovernmental organizations. He characterizes this flow of funds as, essentially, one of the biggest sources of fraud in the world. In his view, government-funded nongovernmental organizations create a gigantic fraud loophole because the government can provide money to an NGO, and then there are no controls over that NGO. He asserts that there have been billions of dollars in tech directed to NGOs through this mechanism, and he estimates tens of billions of dollars have been given to NGOs that are essentially scams.

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.
