5:14 pm
kong tycoon and mildly one system to two systems and xi jinping the chinese strong man dictator has done away with that and there's no difference between hong kong and chinese companies and very easy to sabotage the canal and easy if you're running the port to get a lot of data out of there and there's a two ocean navy and if there were a conflict to move a lot of naval power and other military power through the canal, do anything except aircraft carriers and we need to take over security of the canal. unless panama getting more serious and this is real progress. >> when we have a gender nonbinary candidate or officer, the nonbinary individual is counted neither as male or female and remaining six officers must be gender balanced. liz: completely nuts and

5:22 pm
reporter: good evening, liz. elon musk saving about $4 billion a day of taxpayer money and till today going down the drain. musk says they're shutting down entire government agency they say has been scamming american taxpayers urn the guise of international charity and u.s. agency for international development. on a call with musk last night, senator joni ernst said her investigation into the group found 50-60% of money going to anything but direct aid to help people wining and dining among other wasteful things and musk says u.s. aid is a rotten apple that's just got to be thrown out. >> elon musk did not create federal aid and he doesn't have the power to destroy it. who's going to stop him? we are. >> what kind of country is this man turning our country into in
5:23 pm
it's embarrassing to read the headlines about free america where one man is walking around like he is the boss of all of us. reporter: but the president said today, he's in charge and all elon musk is doing is finding out how taxpayer money is being spent and report back. trump is the one that decides what gets cut and who gets fired. liz. liz: hillary vaughn, thank you so much. listen to this. >> to be clear in shutting down usaid and the reason for that as opposed to simply trying to do minor housekeeping, digging in what we have is not an app billion a worm in it but just a bowl of worms. and so at the point which you don't really -- if you have an apple with a worm in it, maybe take the worm out, but if you have a bowl of worms, it's hopeless. usaid is a bowl of worms.
5:24 pm
liz: musk saying u.s. treasury officials always instructed to approve payments and fraudulent and terror groups with checks and balances and ned ryun, what's your take on this? they're upset that internal systems are being looked at and 60% of money wasted on dinners and spending and more. >> the fury from democrats and left wing media is the fact it's been uncovered that it's a deep state slush fund and money laundering effort from the left and captured by left wing id logs and funding projects with billion os f taxpayer dollars and transgender projects and even $500 million+ for esg projects in africa and funding
5:25 pm
to tune of millions if not billions and censorship products in the world and not country. >> they were resis the president's oversight over the weekend and send in u.s. marshalls to get doge access and usaid renewed to give the senate the basic ideas of funding and budget and they've been resisting oversight, and i have to tell you you're now seeing what has been going on in dc. i don't think just with usaid and it was a microcosm of government writ large and it's just the tip of ice burg. liz: yeah. tip of the iceberg. >> it would be nice if congress would actually provide oversight in transparency saying we're not going to simply behindly fund this sort of stuff till you provide accountability in transparency and what you deserve. liz: that's a simple thing and government watch dogs and gao

reported waste and government abuse in afghanistan, iraq, syria, africa since at least, ned, 2010. lawmaker haves been warning money was literally stolen by contractor frauds and people in our enemy nations and independent audit, look at this, in 2016, more than half a billion dollars worth of cars, real estate, and properties were sold by usaid without any accounting where the money went. >> this is unelected bureaucrats and govern and spend american taxpayer dollars without oversight and accountability. this is how you end up with this corrupt behavior and corrupt spending and oolot of the left and donald trump and existential threat and getting back into power, liz, he'd start uncovering this sort of behavior and this corruption of the
5:27 pm
government. it's not a government of, for and by the people. liz: right, and dc sources said and they went after him the first time and he's repeating what ryan higgins said drain the swamp. going against that in 1982 and democrats went full bore to impeach him before he sat down in oval office. we have to get to this. major abuse of u.s. foreign aid and listen to ukrainian president zelensky and he doesn't know where $100 billion in u.s. money went. listen to this. >> look, i hear and heard before today we hear from the united states of america that america gave ukraine hundreds of billions, 227 to be more re-spice, that's what the -- precise, that's what the exact figure was sounded like and supported by congress. look at president of a wearing country, we received just over 75. this is $100 billion of the 177
5:28 pm
or 200,some people even say we have never received. this is important. liz: $100 billion? he doesn't know where $100 billion went that we gave to ukraine? >> i don't know what to believe from one of the most corrupt al garbers in one of the -- olekowski gork in one of the most corrupt countries in the world or our government. there's figuring out where hundreds of billions of tax mayer dollars have gone, liz. but i'll say donald trump will drain the swamp. the foundation of the swamp is administrative state. he has to break the state to brain the swamp. he does it. liz: ned ryun, thanks for joining us. listen to this. the fbi was a corrupt

5:36 pm
we reached out for comment and at this point, doj and fbi officials interacted to get a list of fbi agents involved in the prosecution of hamas officials in september and those responsible for killing at least 40 americans, that's unclear why. liz. liz: interesting reporting, thank you, david spunt. listen to this. reporter: thank you. >> we ran a presidential election. if we plan a super bowl, we started our seventh string quarterback. you can't address a problem unless you're honest about a problem. does joe biden stand over this disaster like a colossal issue. liz: slamming joe biden is

5:38 pm
problem for the democrats going much deeper than that and going right to what's the party standing for? it's on a bunch of medical scandals and transgender medical care. most americans genuinely believe democrats are a party of elite is and don't care about them but climate change and transgenderrism and not of things that are main concern including migration and economy and massive shift that's happening in terms of foreign policy where trump is moving away from the united states playing police officer to the world. so really just seeing republican party with a lot of collator about what it stands for and what its priorities are. a democrat party divided and weakened by this obsession with race, sex, gender and nothing really positive revisionary to sell to the american people for vision of the united states of
5:39 pm
america. liz: just nail it had. that's what we've been hearing too, michael. they're not focusing of middle class and going to tocus on this and watching this craziness and listen to this. countinged a male or female and remaining six officers must be gender balanced and at this point, there's currently two male and two female and in order to be gender balanced, we must have one male, one female, and one person of any gender. gender.♪ you fight on, you figh, you fight on you fight on when your government is doing you wrong ♪ you fight on, oh you fight on. liz: that was real.
5:40 pm
it wasn't a saturday night live skit. i mean, they couldn't even figure out by the way the top of that with jamie harrison. they couldn't figure out their rules for their votes. >> yeah, look, it's coming across like a nihilistic cult because that's the ideology taking over the party. i say nihilistic and say antihuman and it's de-humanizing and look at how he was talking about the need to have people from different racial categories and something expecting out of worst racest periods in american life and grotesque medical experimentation takes place on children in an effort to change their gender or sex. a party saying the world is coming to an end and kids don't need to -- people shouldn't have kids because the world will end from climate change. it's a dystopian, dark, divided, racialist party. who wants to be on board and no wonder only 30 or so percent of americans have positive feelings
5:41 pm
for the democrats and a party that feels absolutely, not only disconnected from the major concerns of the american people, but offering a vision that's mostly pretty negative on the human race and on the united states in particular. liz: can you really call it a democrat party or just far left party? >> it's incredible and a self-fulfilling prophesy in a shakespeareen way and probably eight, nine years ago not going after the deep state in the way he is now but democrats weaponize deep state to put him in prison. he's got no choice but to clean house. liz: michael shellen berger, pleasure to have you on the show. listen to you and hear you. watch this story. >> the work of usaid is incredibly important and people rely on food assistance and humanitarian assistance from
