good to have your company for the news dropped. my name's utility. let's get in to our top story. the head to head between team trump to point to and washington is bureaucracy, is hitting new heights. the white house has moved against the controversial u. s. a. i the agency responsible for financing, foreign, and views to promote us interest across the globe. now the state department has no confirmed review of its foreign assistance activities on a potential quote, re organization of us a id market. rubio stays there must be more control on spending. i'm the action director of usa, i. d, i've, i've celebrated that authority to someone that i stay in touch with him. and again, our goal was to go in, in a line. our form for the national weather organizations office in the capital has been sealed. all fun stuff is told to stay away. that's as
7:02 pm
earlier usa i these websites went offline now that's ex social media profile. removed within $600.00 employees have reportedly being locked out. so the agencies computer system had all the newly established department of government efficiency is on most stays. the us agency of international development must be shut down because it's too broken to fix as your savvy is a ball of want. mm hm. right. there is no apple and when there is no apple that this you've just got to, basically get rid of the whole thing, falls apart for the us. a id, one's one of washington's most feared foreign policy tools. and now pardon me, in need of aid itself. why? because it's found itself in the process of both the u. s. president honest, we just had the world's richest mind. the trauma really has been building ever since trump took off that maybe 4 hundreds of its employees, helping fire disabilities to defend funds has been frozen for 90 days. it's website
7:03 pm
was put offline, it's towards the page went dark and now apparently most wants to bury it. us and he's really taking his, his new job seriously. the final school seems to have been for him when 2 members of his cost cutting team tried to gain access to a part of the agencies headquarters in dc. and they were actually denied entry apparently because of lack of security clearance as a result to top officials about she's been put on leave. and now we go to these room is a corruption, even criminality swelling. and the agency really doesn't do anything to the bunk. seems like she's ations with behavior like this. there were going to support humanitarian efforts and in ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent. we got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in
7:04 pm
congress. so it's quite the food from grace, full usa id, which of course has been long a daunting of the american political need. it must really is not mincing words when he does his discussing. um, usa id have talked in broad terms about criminality and corruption. do you have any specifics? well, the one who's talking a detailed provide to the notice he'd been watching on to you for the last couple of years or relates to us a i d 's involvement in. and i'm going to be very generous here. global health initiatives. did you know that us aid using your tax dollars funded by a weapon research, including cobit 19 that killed millions of people? well, this is significant, why it's significant because often tool now from the us it has been denied deny to not most famously but tore newton just annoyed at the pen to good that and it denied the thing. yes. okay, we do split system lives in ukraine and africa, for example, president for the good of mankind were developing vaccines with ensuring that
7:05 pm
there's no outbreak over infectious diseases. whereas most was point to something much more fitness stuff. he's saying, but that research was about creating weapons, overall of mass destruction. oh, this is something the most go, has been warning about for years now. and in fact, it's full. but one of the main reasons that one of russia's top generals was assassinated at the end of last year was precisely because he was at the forefront of exposing this us government sponsored abuse of dangerous passages. which, if nice, could re total, how the con, the welds, yeah. can you give us some more background here to usa? i d, it's an agency agency that really is no stranger to controversy. no, i mean it is a for an age, but he must, it's functions and over a $150.00 countries that's going to budget of $9050000000000.00. basically it hands out money so it dissolves to release of fighting poverty. but also, and this is where it gets controversial,
7:06 pm
it travels funds into civil activism. our claims, of course, is the one about promoting democracy. it's a empowering the people. but the issue is, who incidentally, us a id choose is to empower people in nations. what government policies don't align with american and trust, and co, incidentally way us cash slayers, zachary often must protest and sometimes even cruise take place. now the most obvious example of this, it's ukraine, usa, i. d had been active, that's the over 2 decades. and it's what really culminated in the 2014 my done crew . this was admitted by r s. k junior, the nephew of the very man who actually found to be agency j, f k u as a id, which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the uh, to it could
7:07 pm
a talk against the 1st elect, democratically electric. i'm in the ukraine, a mazda before that comment is over on victoria new and was, you know, the part of the center piece of the economy, audiology and who is now a high level official and the state department has a secret call with the us and passenger which is tape record and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets, the ukraine, ukraine. it really is just the tip of the iceberg. a host of global need to have accused usa idea of really pushing for that. a doubtful. i mean, just to highlight reel by the rest of the 2020 mass protest sponsoring opposition groups inside this way. not it was actually kicks out of bolivia by ex president. morales off the he on carpet. they have been funding set protest groups and some of the nations which just regions lots of listing. but let's not forget, it was also in past song and syria,
7:08 pm
and i'm actually with the agencies barton and torres heads about the powers visited budapest, hungary. this of course is a your pin nation which does not tow the line. we know one issues like belgy, b, t or ukraine point to just to erupt in saying o connor red produce an incoming last but not least, we had to which the american tax payers money cannot be used to organize a revolution in georgia. do you remember the canvas training when representatives of the cultural spear were trained to organize a revolution in georgia? us a id, money was used specifically for this. the trump administration stated that american funding, american tax payer money was being used to destabilize the situation in other countries. and to create revolutionary scenarios, we can save time on again, why usa i take pops up very close behind, very often as instability and often violence. becky: of course the question,
7:09 pm
i won't point this, coincidence become a pass and at what point does a pattern become a strategy? yeah, so you mentioned the strategy strategy requires money. what, what are the numbers we're talking about here? let's put it this way. what i'm not, i'm but you've gotten your had double put triplet times it by 10 us a id is one of washington's most well funded offices. usaid, by the way, is a $50000000000.00 budget. the entirety of the intelligence community is only 72000000000. so it is as more than the c i a and more than the state department. wow. and it is basically a usa, it is effectively a switch player to, to assist the pentagon with, with it on the national security front to assist the state department on the national interest front. or to assist the intelligence community on a, on a sort of clandestine operations. now people might accuse me of cynicism. they say the usa idea, it's just charitable, but we also need to be realistic. the world of great power politics is not one of
7:10 pm
self since it is a game of the new frame of looking for weak spot. so investing and then guaranteeing a return on your investment us a id is a norm, as budget is a reflection, supposed to be the greatest reflection of the senate for role that it has played in manifesting some of the white houses, greatest streams of shape. pick the wild as best suits washington's interests. it isn't all that starts in the office and spread the word around the world. so you chop off the on the power of the for office diminishes. that is why this is such a big story and that is why walks and regime change and sees yes in d. c. up and off. well delving into own recent controversy, us a i d found itself and was the d port taishan of several employees from zimbabwe. last march. there are a government accused them of entering the country with the proper tyrann, something washington denies,
7:11 pm
and who links on desktops and meetings with opposition. politicians on foreign diplomats, nigerian investigative reporter david hyundai and believe such actions are common place for the and bustled agency in question. and none of this is like for the deposit information business we saw on some uses itself. it's a, it's, it's works with civil society has, has lots of political access walks and even on the dances all around the world, including countries that don't have a set of who's political vision is not necessarily aligned that of the doors. i'm guessing i think it was today under this guys, by the terry. i'm going to institute, i'm actually irish on a whole, you know, some, some sylvester activities in there. it works with the political positions. people want to wait. rebel groups works way as the always the, you know, what? no, that's best that hostile assume society. i just basically, whatever is useful to the interest of the us government that works with best,
7:12 pm
whether or not the governments are that place and i agree. so that's why did since you so that essentially 5 eights software and 2 of countries around the world in the industry as a one in the matter of this issue. once a few on the light side is the interest for us instead of just in future around the world. but american emmy award winning investigative journalist, been sworn and said they documented all the accountability of us i. these global operations should have been calls into question much sooner. this is an organization that has operated in the shadows when it's supposed to be an organization that's operating on full transparency. and so like, we know that it's not. and for years, if not decades, there are been american journalists and american citizens who have struggled to get answers as to what the usb id really does. what is its mission around the world?
7:13 pm
why does it have such a massive budget and why is there no accountability for what it does around the world? and we heard senator julie bonds there who was specifically talking about this issue and said when she has tried in her congressional oversight authority to get an answer from us, a id, she was threatened by the organization out there. you ask us questions congresswoman out there you ask questions of this organization? we should do whatever we want. sen. let's just delve into one of the big recipients for a moment. ukraine, because not the mirrors. lensky says he doesn't know where around a $100000000000.00 of us money at went. where did it go? i'm sure. american taxpayers would like to know. we have been in this process of this ukraine war now almost 3 years. and all this time zalinski hasn't questioned where the money is, because he knows that the united states has dedicated almost $300000000.00 to him. there's almost 300000000000 us back here. dollars that dedicated to your cause. and
7:14 pm
only now in the last week, did you come out and say, no, i just realized something. we didn't get the money. where did it go out? it was, it was the hasn't said anything until this moment that he doesn't know where the money is. because the truth is, he knows exactly what you create has been a drug, candid money laundering scheme. and those are as reporters who have covered it for the last 3 years, who will actually told the truth about what's happening your brain. i've been trying to tell the world that this is what's going on. it's a huge money laundering. steam. the weapons aren't going to ukraine. they're going all over the world, including to middle eastern, an african countries, which of these stabilize governments there. we know the money is not going there, it's going to defense contractors is going to companies like black rock that are now going to rebuild ukraine in their own image. that's what's really happening right now as well. that's flushed out always because p as the main recipient of us, the id grand. since the ukraine conflict begun is riled by the trump white. hi. say
7:15 pm
suspension of foreign aid on loving there's a lensky is demanding. the money keeps coming in. but when off there, what flow during the, by the presidency where the cache is gone, he couldn't, most of it never arrived. exactly, truly i hear i'd have heard before. would you mind today we hear from the us on that america gave ukraine hundreds of billions, allow 177000000000 to be precise. this was the exact figure that was supported all voted on by congress and various organizations not look as the president of a war and country. i tell you, we have received more than 75. that is, we never received 100000000000 out of these 177, or even 200 and some people say, this is important. i don't know where all that money is. royce. so again, where's the money corruption and ukraine is one possible answer since the might on to in 2014 billions in western financial aid has poured into key f. and much of it
7:16 pm
is a ledge to help being siphoned off another area for alarm. the black market depends on it by its own admission, has repeatedly failed to truck weapons sent to ukraine with those arms packages, reportedly flooding into europe and being illegally traded. and it appears a large portion of the dollars allocated free trade. never even made it across the american border, allegedly, being re directed to us defense coffers. what others point i maybe mr. zalinski isn't being totally honest and saying he doesn't know where the money is. with accusations of bulging bank balances following him for some time. we discussed it all with former senate aide to joe biden. tara read, that's a lot of money. now. some of the money was actual weapons, so they were given the weapons, but even those weapons were gone. and we've done stories about talking about how, where are those weapons they didn't make it to crate, then they to find out they were sold on the black market and some ended up in europe. so you have a nest of corruption right now. and of course you have zelinski at the top of it.
7:17 pm
now he knows there's a new sheriff in town. donald trump. and so donald trump's going to be asking some questions about where is that $100000000000.00? so yes, there is money there, so you're talking about defense contractors. you're talking about n g o is that were funded, you know, that were fueled by the democrats. you're talking about, um, you know, politicians that personally benefit lindsey graham. many of them sit on the boards of some of these weapons when you've manufacturer, so they personally benefit. they also make trades, the ones that are public. so you're talking a lot of money that's changing hands. and then also there's been money that's gone over to ukraine, that has disappeared and gone into pockets and shown up in the form of like lamborghini is with some of these ukrainian oligarchy. you have an illegitimate president and ukraine. there's been no elections held. he's obviously, you know, as a tucker across the, referred to him, a little dictator. and so for him,
7:18 pm
he just wants to get as much money as he possibly can before he has to disappear me while washington has pledged a quote cut off or future funding for. so i thought for a guy, it's over a lot of reform, move that along as the confiscation of white farmers lunch. sometimes with side compensation, the nations president has defended the new ok saying it aligns with south africa's constitutional democracy. but the u. s. president isn't convinced in south africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people very badly. it is a bad situation that the radical left media doesn't want to so much as mention a massive human rights violation at a minimum is happening for all to see. the united states won't stand for it, we will act also. i will be cutting off all future funding to south africa until a full investigation of the situation has been completed. one would hope that the
7:19 pm
present time for would try to understand the facts and the realities of off the situation. in south africa, ross is and repeating disturbing racially device of talking points like it is right now. but have listened to that responsible present on a post in south africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality. the south african government has not confiscated any land. the recently adopted expropriation act is not a confiscation instrument, but the constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution. south africa like the united states of america and other countries has always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners. we look forward to engaging with the trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest. we are certain that out of those engagements, we will share
7:20 pm
a better and common understanding over these matters. so who's off this 112 se, go way back into so that because colonial costs, when a small, why to minority house power, one crucial way the wife government preserved that power was through a native land act, which was a lot of the band black people from acquiring, as we called through the line to beyond issue result of the effects of that. and the laws can still be solved even to this day. office of africa became a majority, black and government tonight and until one can help. but notice the response from president on my posts of this time being a beat, a rather put muted, to compare to how it was between 18 when president trump 1st made such an accurate economy is this is for years so much for all these for 0, that i don't know what the
7:21 pm
to the toner has really changed from that to end. in this recent response, i'm gonna pull us as also carry 5. that's american aid is a minor parts off the countries financial landscape. we do know that so that africa is a major beneficiary off. you is funding under the emergency plan for a release and that funding was a really and the street of the donald trump freeze on foreign aid across the country or other across the world. but other than that, the president's office is, is known as a significant funding that is provided by the united states in south africa. and i guess the funding part to offer to really promote
7:22 pm
a reaction from the leaders in the country as well as the have to us. that is that they don't give us money the minutes. but it is a table i'm is, let's say why withdrawing funding? no, we're ministers in the continent, and they've always something that we have. well, not test back us. and this all coming less than 2 weeks off to present the posts assigned to the new little made to meet the will the state to expropriate land, subject to force to see a compensation paid for the program. or rather, the government also that forgot is pushing a new plans to extend the rates of the redistribution of land. the plan has of course, a phone issue of critics who, who have condemned it as a policy to eat hostility towards why follow me, which is not true. and right now the amc really pushing at and try to make it easy for the state to, to take a land in an effort to address racially an equal that own this pattern is dating
7:23 pm
back to a potted and the spy. so creep responses from the leaders in the country, the treat has already made some sort of an impact. the countries come and see open the day quite high stuff. those who locks on present time, which means that it has a several investors already. we bought land reform in the south african country. well, we a spokesman for us, so it's out for guys. foreign minister crispin piri for his view, he rejects president from some knowledge sense of the country's new landlord on an fact, claim that small over to we've come out to clarify this, to say that as for patient that does not a lens, diesel, but it's an x that is designed to ensure that expropriation happens within the 5, so the, so that you can cause to choose uh, unfortunately it does seem as though this was information as readings spread to them and to some extent as informed what president trump lucian spoke about media
7:24 pm
for example, if you have a high tech or a building that is behind jacked by criminals in the city of detroit. and know that this building has become a crime deep joy. would it be in the public interest for why the states to do something about that building? and in the event that we find that such a building has been up ended by its own, the state would be entitled to take possession of the property so that it doesn't become a public nuisance. and being seen, for example, incidents with the land restitution change goes into the tune of a big, huge rac evans such an instance. way we would be required to ensure that africans who i ride the, the oldness of assessments have the language to, to, to, to that it would be just about the file for the government to have to pay for a market related price. so such as that it would be more equitable to ensure that
7:25 pm
if required to pay a compensation. and it is just an equitable based on what the public requires and such an inquiry would have to go through a due process. and that is, what is perhaps most most i'm a student here, even in the event where it is determined that land can be exposed, created avenue compensation cannot be done without a due process be put in place. president tom said that this is subject to an investigation that he's a team will be doing. and we think that's a really a good opportunity to start the basis of engagement. this will enable this is of tom's advisors to read and understand this last week in a national position. once of that week gives us solving for to these programs and they just ation and then say, continue to enable us to a move from a joint understanding of how we address our internal issues. the
7:26 pm
brutality, like nothing seemed before double trumps verdict on the gals that conflict. the american president also pointed out, it's not a given that the recent cease fire, the ongoing one will last i, i have no assurances that it will hold. i mean, i've seen people brutalized, i've never, nobody's ever seen anything like, and now i have no guarantees that the piece is going to hold that. meanwhile, in the west bank, 5 people have been killed including a child, as israel continues at the rates on the area that's according to the publicity and health industry. relatives gathered to a local cemetery to see off their loved ones on grief. following the strikes, the
7:27 pm
