During a recent press conference, I pulled out notes to highlight some astonishing government spending. I questioned allocations like $10 million for circumcisions abroad, $520 million for environmental consulting, and $25 million aimed at promoting biodiversity in Colombia. I also pointed out $40 million for the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants, $42 million for social behavior research in Uganda, and $21 million dedicated to increasing voter turnout in India.

Speaker 0: That's just that. And then where's the money being spent? Right? Let's go into that for just a second. Five hundred and twenty million dollars for a consultant on the environment.
It's called environmental, social, and governance investments in Africa and mobilize private sector resources. $520,000,000 Somebody got $520,000,000 for an environmental sounds like an environmental study. Most I've always been one that paid a lot of money for my environmental studies, but they you know, I paid, like, $50,000, not $520,000,000 5 hundred and 20 million dollars for ESG. Twenty five million dollars to promote biodiversity, conservation, and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Colombia. Well, it's nice, $25,000,000 to Colombia for something that nobody ever heard of.

Well, why are we giving $21,000,000 to India?
They got a lot of money. They're the one of the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of us. We can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high. I have a lot of respect for India. I have a lot of respect for the prime minister.
He just left, as you know, two days ago. But we're giving $21,000,000 for voter turnout. It's voter turnout in India. What about, like, voter turnout here? Oh, we've done that, I guess.
We did 500,000,000, didn't we? It's called the lock boxes. $20,000,000 for fiscal federalism in Nepal. Listen to these numbers. These are this is all fraud.
