00:00:30.000 After receiving a stunning electoral mandate

00:00:32.900 and opening his second presidential term with a flurry of executive orders,

00:00:36.880 Donald Trump has overwhelmed his liberal opposition.

00:00:40.560 Progressives have struggled to find a narrative foothold

00:00:43.360 on which to oppose the real estate billionaire,

00:00:46.260 but the left have finally settled on spending cuts to foreign aid

00:00:50.120 as their vector for attack.

00:00:52.400 Trump placed a 90-day hold on foreign aid in one of his executive orders,

00:00:56.900 and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency

00:00:59.820 has subsequently identified the U.S. Agency of International Development

00:01:04.200 as a prime candidate for elimination.

00:01:06.540 Democrats and their media allies hoped that by drawing attention to U.S. aid,

00:01:12.040 they could frame cuts to the program as an act by callous billionaires

00:01:16.220 who don't care about poor Africans being denied AIDS medication. 0.81

00:01:20.380 That plan has backfired, and as the public learns more about U.S. aid,

00:01:25.020 they're quickly discovering how much of their tax money is being stolen

00:01:28.880 to fund deeply evil projects in foreign nations.

00:01:32.220 Most Americans like the idea of being generous,

00:01:36.020 but recognize the importance of taking care of their own nation before assisting others.

00:01:41.520 Foreign aid is an easy sell when everyone is prospering,

00:01:45.620 but when American infrastructure is crumbling,

00:01:48.280 young people are struggling to afford housing,

00:01:51.020 and food prices are soaring,

00:01:53.020 spending tax dollars on foreigners takes a back seat.

00:01:55.920 Democrats have been screaming hysterically about the millions of lives

00:02:01.500 that will be lost if U.S. aid was cut,

00:02:04.420 but this has created an instance of the famous Streisand effect.

00:02:08.860 As the truth about U.S. aid has come to light,

00:02:12.220 Americans are realizing that the left don't care about poor or sick people abroad,

00:02:17.400 but are instead crying because their massive slush fund

00:02:21.320 dedicated to pushing progressive ideology is coming under fire.

00:02:25.920 While progressives care deeply about their own ideology,

00:02:30.020 they realize that ultimately politics is about rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies.

00:02:35.620 Patronage is the lifeblood of politics,

00:02:38.040 and the left folded into every action they take and every institution they build.

00:02:43.720 One can love or hate this political reality,

00:02:46.440 but it remains a reality nonetheless,

00:02:49.260 and the fact that progressives embrace it while conservatives are repulsed by it

00:02:53.460 goes a long way to explaining the dominance of leftist politics in the United States.

00:02:59.520 U.S. aid is no exception to this rule.

00:03:02.460 Progressives have turned the agency into a tool to reward their allies domestically

00:03:06.960 and build a network of ideologically aligned organizations overseas.

00:03:11.260 The U.S. foreign aid budget may help some needy individuals overseas,

00:03:16.840 but its primary function is to fund a progressive global empire while treating Americans as a tax farm.

00:03:24.260 It would be bad enough if progressives were just taking tax dollars that could be helping American families

00:03:31.160 and instead using it to pay off their political allies,

00:03:34.240 Democrats, the media, and the foreign policy establishment love to portray U.S. aid as a critical tool of diplomacy.

00:03:47.000 In reality, the money committed to the agency is not simply wasted on political favors,

00:03:53.620 but actively used to fund some of the most heinous projects imaginable.

00:03:58.760 Politico masquerades as an independent media outlet in the United States,

00:04:03.200 but has received over $8 million from U.S. aid.

00:04:07.180 The BBC Media Action Fund, the charity influence arm of the British state media,

00:04:13.260 listed U.S. aid as its second largest contributor.

00:04:17.640 Let's not forget that the BBC is the state media of a government

00:04:21.520 which is actively arresting its own citizens for speaking out about its immigration policy on social media.

00:04:29.840 The American government funding both domestic and foreign media is an obvious and deeply immoral conflict of interest,

00:04:38.760 but it only scratches the surface.

00:04:41.100 The agency has a policy that is specifically designed to integrate LGBTQI plus ABC rainbow ideology

00:04:49.740 into all of its development work, especially when it comes to the education of children.

00:04:55.380 USAID is responsible for providing $45 million in scholarships to help influence the governing elites in Burma.

00:05:03.880 The agency dedicated $500,000 to expanding atheism in Nepal.

00:05:08.780 $32,000 was spent to push transgender children's books in Peru.

00:05:13.240 Another $70,000 to develop a DEI musical in Ireland.

00:05:17.900 And $70,000 to fund a transgender opera in Colombia.

00:05:22.400 In 2016, $300,000 was spent to queer school children in the Christian nation of Macedonia.

00:05:29.660 DEI seminars in Serbia, leftist magazines in Poland, trans inclusion organizations in Bangladesh,

00:05:36.600 all funded by tens of billions of dollars of American tax money.

00:05:43.100 Progressives aren't simply paying off their friends abroad,

00:05:46.120 which itself would be completely corrupt and inexcusable,

00:05:49.460 but they're bribing foreign governments and organizations to indoctrinate and corrupt children.

00:05:56.060 The American people are slowly discovering that an evil global empire has been operated in their name.

00:06:03.340 The global advance of leftist politics was neither organic or inevitable,

00:06:08.680 but a carefully planned and funded program operated out of the American deep state.

00:06:14.720 Democrats have attempted to reframe the suggested elimination of U.S. aid by Musk

00:06:21.160 as the cruel work of an unelected billionaire and his technocratic lackeys.

00:06:26.040 Now that's particularly rich coming from a party that is funded by George Soros and worships Anthony Fauci.

00:06:33.140 Trump was elected in no small part due to the support of Musk

00:06:37.060 and the promise that the SpaceX founder would be placed in charge of identifying

00:06:41.760 and cutting malicious or wasteful government agencies like U.S. aid.

00:06:47.380 In this moment of strong executive action by Trump,

00:06:51.540 some conservatives are advising caution.

00:06:54.080 They warn against going too far too fast,

00:06:57.620 breaking too many institutions and upsetting the established order.

00:07:01.880 This is terrible counsel.

00:07:03.740 Progressives are disoriented by Trump's ability to seize the initiative

00:07:08.180 and the only narrative they have attempted to establish

00:07:11.280 has inadvertently brought attention to how deeply the entire Washington bureaucracy has been corrupted.

00:07:17.900 The president has the electoral mandate, the moral justification,

00:07:23.180 and the executive vigor to make permanent change possible,

00:07:27.320 and he should continue to strike while the iron is hot.

00:07:30.900 The political theorist Nicola Machiavelli advised that if one does injury to an enemy,

00:07:36.700 it should be so severe as to ensure that no reprisal need be feared.

00:07:42.900 If we are to have a revolution that returns us to governance on behalf of the American people,

00:07:48.620 it is best not to leave it half finished.

00:07:51.160 Trump is devastating the global leftist patronage network,

00:07:54.940 not just because it commits evil acts,

00:07:57.120 but because it removes the ability of progressives to punish conservatives.

00:08:01.980 The agencies of the United States government must be brought to heel

00:08:06.380 and made to serve the people of this nation,

00:08:09.520 or they should be eliminated entirely.

00:08:12.600 Leaving those agencies wounded,

00:08:14.800 but capable of striking back at those who attempted to reform them

00:08:18.540 would be the biggest strategic blunder imaginable.
