No transparency, no efficiency. what do you got to hide?
There IS checks and balances on that aid. Please know what you're saying before lying.
USAID works in some of the most corrupt places in the world. Corruption is highly contagious
@@joo7454. Transparency does not concern musk rat, the so called rich person who go into the federal employees finance to steal. Stealing is what Musk rat aim is.
@@LearningCurves123lol, sure there is, USAID writes the checks and it goes to the bank balances of politicians.
@LearningCurves123 great one 🤡 . Happy to take your next joke
40 billion? Thats a lot of money. It will help rebuild all homes damaged by flood and fire.
It will go into the pockets of the rich through tax breaks. If you think hardworking Americans will see a dime of that 40B you’re a fool
hope that 40 billion goes to republicans medications funds because yall need it
Huh? Don't live in a burning hellscape if you don't want your home to catch fire. It's pretty simple. Just because East Coasters are more intelligent than West Coasters doesn't mean we should pay for the consequences of your poor intellects. You got what you deserve. Maybe accept that you're objectively the inferior coast and move to the good one. Or don't. You're frankly pretty insufferable.

Imagine the impact 70 billion dollars could have on the disasters we have experienced in the last few years.
How about the 290 Billion the billionaires got richer by since Trumps inauguration. What could we do with that? Is it normal that 3 people own more than the botton half of this society?
Do people not realize how broke america is? Like our government shuts down for spending too much like every year...
Great point! People are so brain dead
Not true. Govt shutdowns are only when the govt refuse to spend money it already has.
I wouldn’t say that the US is broke. More so that republicans don’t want to pay our bills every year.
They didn't act like we were broke when they were handing those stimulus packages.I guess we will pay that cost along with the tariffs. That will be some more of that little pain as Dump calls it.
@@Tazech no, the government doesn’t shut down because of overspending. It gets shut down over political fights on spending. And you’ll notice that every budget related shutdown since 2004 has been instigated by Republicans.
What are the politicians going to do without their primary means of laundering money back to themselves…
Exactly!
@@Messier87_M87 They inside trade stocks, they don't need this lmao...
You're fine with 20 year old crypto bros with all your government info?
What are you talking about?
You misunderstand, putting Elon and other billionaires in charge of every department of the government is SO THEY CAN take our money.
democrats will lose without the money laundering for their greed, toys, dildos, sex trafficking 5 yr. old boys
The thing is, if this is a bubble just about to burst, this must be the most anticipated and covered bubble in history. I mean it's been for more than 2 years that I've been reading and watching this kinds of warnings. However it's true that mass media is not specially talking about this, and also nowadays information and media like TH-cam and social networks provide such a quantity of content and such decentralized (as this vid for instance) that my first statement could be biased by that. The fact is, the correction will come, as naturally as leaves fall due to gravity. Despite all, I've been receiving warnings from a lot of different sources to the point that if the market collapses I won't be surprised. But boy I'm hell of invested in crypto now, .....I have managed to grow a nest egg of around $200k to a decent 7 figures in the space of a few months...Thanks to Aldona Šabanienė’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings. Kudos to the journey ahead!
I heard her strategies are really good, How do I reach your Coach/mentor...
She mostly interacts on Telegrams, using the user-name.
@AldonaSabaniene.
Yeah that's right I think the best way is to invest with a professional, at least it saves the trauma of too much losses, This just surprised me because I also invest with Aldona.
Honestly a lot of crypto investors don"t understand the potentials and benefits of cryptos investment they think the only way to make profits is just by holding.
No mention of USAID refusing to share information on where the money (taxpayers) are spent or why do some countries are not getting all the aid promised to them.
And the Pentagon flunked, what, it's 7th audit?
they don't have to share anything.
USAID releases a detailed report every year and is audited (which is a separate report). Truly, have you ever spent your braincells researching and reading any of these reports or do you simply react to gimmicky news reports and ask questions trying to appear concerned and intelligent?
@@alisonstewart6512 I'm sorry, could we try that again in English please?
That is because it's not aid at all. It's US Agency of International Development.
everything is always about hurting people in need/the middle class, never about demanding more from the wealthy/extreme wealthy.
You seem to be confusing not getting free stuff with being hurt. Entitled little guy, aren't you?
Why do they need that much money? Surely defence being just 3.5% of GDP is much cheaper than 30% taxes they are charging. Where does the money go? On charity for the unworking poor
Things will come to a head, it always does. It reminds me of Marie Antionette having a slum built in the back of Versailles so she can "feel" like a commoner every now and then. Things come to a head whether ones ignorance and lies allow it or not.
Because maybe you didnt catch the memo like 250 years ago that taxes are a scam. For the middle class, the poor, and the extremely wealthy.
@ the amount of money the "unworking poor" receives pales compared to the welfare grifting wealthy elite. you're more worried about someone getting $200 in food stamps, but not about the billionaire person breaking the law and gaining access to all of the data and personal information of americans.
It's not humanitarian assistance, it's coup assistance around the world.😅
I don't see a coup in Iran, Palestine, Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, Nicaragua. Since they are so ineffective, no point investigating in this
news to me. Have a few cites I can check out?
I second that request for your evidence. Because surely an intelligent person like you Kimmimaro86 wouldn't have made such a claim based on social media posts.
Totally agree, USAID is a criminal enterprise and must be shut down immediately.
@@smokinace926 how about the fact that we are spending money to overthrow governments that do not align with the west? Like what happened in 2014 in Ukraine. Or how about the fact that they are using our tax dollars to promote social justice in Video games.
Shut the USAID immediately . American deserved better. How many people live on the street and under the bridge. Why we waste the money and care the other that we don’t even know from different country?
Special Government Employee, Special Military Operation, Alternative Facts, sounds legit.
Shut the USAID immediately
He's paying back the 3 biggest richest people of the world... wtfwtfwtf does anything, anymore, represent for the people?? What happened to "we the people" more like "we the oligarchy"
I think Luigi was onto something.
No, people elected this administration for this purpose. Sorry you have to rename it to help your feelings.
Please elaborate on your information.
USAID refused an audit. We need to know where our taxpayers' money is going to. Do you even know what some of the money is being used for? When you find out, you'll be surprised. They're squandering our money!
Multi millionaires are laundering your tax dollars.
It took billionaires to put a stop to it.
Right access into US treasury with his own personal server. If people think that is good. Good luck when he screw over ur social security.
EXACTLY !!!!!!!!!!! Your regular dictatorship.
You're sure stuck on that social security bit. Get new material
For like 20 years now people have known we will lose social security.
If everyone isn't 100% prepared to kiss social security goodbye, then they don't understand what they voted for! Ha!
Yea only Hillary gets a private server !!!
I will never understand the american attitude of "my team vs your team". I will stand by my team no matter what, and there's no way that anything my team has ever done could be bad, it must be the other teams fault.

It’s a small portion of our budget. Just like giving offerings at church. But you guys say God Bless America. God will stop blessing America when they see the destitute and refugees and orphans and turn the other way to cow tow to greedy white supremacist billionaires who could personally solve a lot if not all world suffering at least in some regions. These billionaires do nothing personally to help Americans. Hell, they won’t even pay taxes.

Hopefully he gets to check your tax records too..haha.
I prefer him over spending millions on useless transgender and dei shi and giggles
The Dems need to say something but they won’t because they are cowering.
Amen . Close it down ! It's our money 💰.
You honestly believe that Musk or Trump are going to give that money back to the people? If you do, then you are extremely gullible.
It’s our money, it’s our money. No it’s Trump and Elon’s money actually. You’ll catch on later
The God Emperor and his assistants are doing good work. Praise be to Emperor Trump! Praise be to Elon!
@@jen484 Don't be pissed our taxpayer money isn't going to ridiculous things like drag shows in Peru anymore.
So the co presidents get to just walk in, tell congress to kiss off and close agencies they have no legal right to close. Here is a thought, close down all grants, aids etc.. to all major corporations. Elon Musk should start with his own companies. he has received 10s of billions in grants, subsidies and special tax cuts,. And then there are the government contracts....
It’s a low down dirty shame. The unmitigated deplorable gaul.
It's great 👍
Do you even know why they want to shut down USAID? Taxpayers' money spent for transgender opera in Columbia, LGBTQ comic books for Peruvians and condoms for Gaza. They've refused an audit.
Do you even know why USAID is being shut down? They spend over 50 billion a year and they refused to be audited. That's taxpayers' money. One of the countries they gave to is Columbia, for them to have transgender themed opera. They also gave millions to Gaza so they could have condoms. Please do some research before you make comments.
Well, if Trump lose the election, Elon would also lose everything (all govt contracts gone, and US govt would bankrupt him, if not outright "eliminate" him).
But Trump won, and now Elon reap the benefit of going all-in with Trump. As you said, he is now de facto co-president of the United States of America. Everyone know this is what gonna happen if Trump won, since Elon and Trump promised this exact thing.
I believe america is great because of our diversity, our rules of law, and we help those less fortunate anywhere in the world.
Elons net worth is $421 billion. USAIDs budget is $40 billion. Let that sink in.
Let it sink in that the $70 billion is for the CIA which $40 billion goes to this crap. Maybe the CIA can actually do their jobs if they didn't have to give $40 billion to an agency that gives $50 million to Gaza for condems or funds international Revolutions that are pro west.
He wasn't an employee when he invaded the Treasury, was he..
He's the head of the department of government efficiency.

No because you aren't starving or live in a dirt hut or follow Jesus, for that fact
@ yes, we are not starving ,and you know why ?? We get up early morning go the work , leave our young kids to babisiters , work 8 hours , come back home tired , have shortfall in monthly budget to by food for our kids, paying federal taxes of thousands dollars …that’s how we live…my hard earned tax dollars are not for strangers ….it’s there government problems that they unable to feed them… it’s not my problem .

Calm down, the world is not ending because a rogue government agency is being audited. They have abused their authority and have been operating without any accountability or oversight for decades. The President is making the decisions based on advice from Musk. It’s all good. Democrats didn’t seem to have a problem with other people making decisions for President Biden for the last four years, so just sit back and relax. We need to cut the federal budget and this is just the beginning so don’t get too excited there will be more of this to come as we make the rounds of the various bureaucracies.

GOD FORBID SOMEONE WANTS TO HELP FIX THE CORRUPTION WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
@jeileen69 Posing a question as to why an apartheid billionare with a vested interest in collecting our information would have access to said information when they're not authorized to do so doesnt mean there's something wrong with me. It could be argued something is wrong with anyone who wouldn't wonder why it is a private citizen, especially someone who immigrated here from a notoriously corrupt system themselves , should have that sort of access. Had he been elected that's one thing. If he had an official position that's certainly another.
Fixing corruption doesn't mean have someone obtain information in an equally corrupt way. And if that same person turns around and yells " corruption " that's something the average American should want investigated further.
Perhaps you don't grasp the ramifications or maybe you do and just don't care. Maybe you don't feel allowing access to your private information to a techie bro and his peers who literally don't care about you is okay and if you do more power to you.
I for one don't want someone I didnt get a single say so about poking around where he doesn't belong. Peoplev didn't vote for that when we cast our vote. And unless what people did vote for starts making itself crystal clear real fast there's going to be some problems.
Why aren’t Americans protesting Elon Musk. What does he know about Government spending except getting the benefits he receives from our Government

I'm not okay with a foreign national billionaire from south africa with a history of corporate corruption in using public funds for personal gain having access to the social security and tax ID information of millions of US citizens. I contacted my congressman to let them know I do not consent to someone who was not properly vetted, wasn't voted in, didn't go through any of the proper channels or processes, and has no security clearance to have my data, personal or financial information. I recommend you all do the same.

@@BlueOven-e8k you need to inform yourself on what he was really trying to get access to. We're talking about the US treasury and the federal payment systems responsible for paying millions of Americans. This is not just USAID this is the sensitive information and data of nearly everyone in the country.
@@BlueOven-e8k This has EVERYTHING to do with "regular" Americans and there are GOING to be lawsuits.
@ This is blatant corporate overreaching from a foreign national no-less and if we were watching this happen in an other country the news would be calling it a "state capture."
@ Because the Bureau of the Fiscal Service distributes tax refunds and Social Security payments, it has access to the Social Security numbers and bank accounts of more than 70 million americans. That's just a fact. So that means Elon musk and his team just gained access to very sensitive information of pretty much anyone who gets a taxed check. Even if it was on an executive order, this still needed to go through the proper channels like the US senate. They needed to be vetted and given proper security clearance. That's just how our country works. That did not happen.

Wake up democrats, Americans before it’s too late. Trump has only been in for days and already everything is falling apart.
Democrats will do nothing. They feed from the same trough as the republicans.
The Democrats are in on the coup. How can anyone not see that at this point?
buckle up bertha, we're just getting started
What exactly is falling apart??
@ their grip on the tax money of americans, thats whats falling apart
3:05 "It didn't feel good." 😂😂😂
Now show me the other side of the story, what has he uncovered?
Oh they are finding a lot.... a lot alot. You won't get that here tho..
Well he now has your data, my data, your Mom’s data, every American’s data. He does NOT care about you. You should be very concerned about now
If you told me Elon would be reshaping the government 2 years ago I wouldn't have believed you.
Remember when doge used to be a cool dog instead of cringe
The only cringe I see is your comment😂
@@sskeletor206 😂😂
Proof that money will get u very far in this world ...
Finally! Cleaning things up!! Best administration EVER!!!
Cleaning things up is not reducing spending but transferring it to the state department? Same agency that does not have to disclose how it spends this money?
This happens when a lunatic has too much money.
Killing form day 0! Many thanks to Elon 🎉 ❤
Redistribution of wealth from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries. Doesn't help anyone in Africa thats what Akon and Oprah do.
Why is it the US is held liable for humanitarian aid to other nations. Others countries need to step up, the US has always gone over and beyond and it has crippled our economy thanks to the tremendous amount debt all this money the US keeps handing out to other nations.
Buddy there is one thing I know about USA and that it does nor....I repeat does not go above and beyond at all...and if so there is always a catch...
America is largely benefits through undercutting and economically blackmailing other small nations for their raw materials slowly crippling their economic stability....
Where do u think all the resources USA boats about come from...and with their powerfully dollar currency..they can get just about any resources value for less than their original market value....surely I don't have to school you about the economic and political dark personality of USA which thrives at huge expense of other small nations especially African nations .....
Handouts to wealthy here cost more, and other countries do contribute to foreign aid (when comparing, adjust for population, not pet country).
Because the USA is in the best position to help other people. We also don't really give that much away. These cuts are just a drop in the bucket.
Elon Musk more patriotic than born citizens and rich Congress people. I salute you Mr. Musk !
Patriotic my ass. He’s an opportunist and a Nazi sympathizer to boot.
So I'm hearing that for roughly 1% of the government's total annual budget we could have already solved child hunger and Americans affected or displaced by natural natural disasters in the US? Good to know. 👍
AWESOME! So glad to see tax dollars not being spent on drag shows in south america 🤣TRUMP!!!! No more free money!!!
It is not about shutting it down,I think it's about putting the money where it is supposed to go.
This is crazy he was never confirmed in any way.
Go Musk! 🎉 its funny you guys wont talk about all the corruption.
It's convenient to just ignore the reasons why it's being shut down
We knew this was coming !! That’s why people choose Mr. Trump again.
All the money going to Democrats too wtf
"We took down our pride flags..." tells me *_everything_* I need to know about the employees in that organization.
@@donoimdono2702 right on! 👍
Exactly! Clean it up !
Castapo We must do what it takes to defeat everything it takes every ounce of our energy, everything in our body
You want to fight saving taxpayers money? You want to fight reducing our trillions of debt? I do not understand why?
Enough is Enough 💙☠️💙
I don't remember seeing this man's name on my ballot! WTF, Trump! Are you the president or is Musk?
Yes exactly
Do you know what the Select Executive Service is? They are appointed, not elected or approved by congress. The government has thousands of these employees.
What part of advisor to the President did you not understand during the election? And well, today he was made a special government employee. So now he’s just like the rest of the DC bureaucrat swamp, except he is trying to save taxpayer money and drain the swamp. Do you like having $ trillions of debt or would it be a good thing to cut wasteful spending and the size of the federal bureaucracy?
@Jackie-x7w advisor isn't on my ballot as an option. Kings have advisors. Presidents are better than that and have cabinets which contain MULTIPLE people. Not just 1 advisor like Jafar in Aladdin.
@ you don’t think that every single person who donates money to a politician is expecting to give that politician some advice about their favorite policy agenda? Wake up this is the real world.
the CIA must be crying now
I just watched, on "Occupy Democrats" that The US Attorney is backing and approving what Musk did. People are going to be prosecuted if they want to interfere with Musk doing.
Who is the US attorney?
Of course he is. Who do you think hired him?
I just watched on "We Make U Watch; Iran" that everything we hear is 100% fact, and not to question it
He can't do that. Clearly this is an overreach by the Trump administration + Elon.
