a transgender offer are in columbia. 32000 for a transgender comic book in peru. i don't know about you, but as an american taxpayer, i don't want, my dollar is going towards this crap. and i know the american people don't either, and that's exactly what you one must, has been tasked by president trump, to do to get the fraud waste and abuse out of our federal government to well, some more examples than of where the money went to $1000000.00 was set aside for sex, change operations in guatemala, then there's the vast sum sent a non profits linked to terrorist groups, including meals that made the way to all tied to affiliated fighters in syria. unless stark, of all, the hundreds of millions of dollars sent to support the cultivation of opium. poppy on her when production in afghanistan, former seattle, as john kerry, aka, told me american involvement in that industry was an open secret. i did investigate the cultivation of hair when pop in afghanistan for the senate foreign
5:03 pm
relations committee. a i actually flew to afghanistan helicopter into the poppy fields. indic interviewed a poppy farmer. i asked him not easily in retrospect why he didn't grow crops that had 2 growing seasons instead of poppy, something like tomatoes or onions, or pomegranate, and express great frustration and said in 2001, the americans told me that i could grow hair when poppy. if i told them where the arrows were hiding, and when i said what americans told you, you could grow hair when poppy and i was pulled back into the jeep and driven quickly back to the helicopter. now the bottom line, when i got back to washington unable and reported this was that we wanted a scan and scan to grow hair when poppy, because that her, when went to russia into iran, and we wanted them to be addicted to heroin. you put your findings forward of your
5:04 pm
investigation and that was the response that yes, were allowing her when to grow because it's going to hurt moscow. correct. it was very plain and very blunt. and i was told not to publish the report which i didn't, the special inspector general for us down to spend as well just sticking with the country john. and for i've got to send reconstruction repeatedly pointed to us the id phones misuse in the nation. and not small numbers either in some provinces that came to 95 percent of funds. now this is a recurring question. i've been trying to find the answer to over the last number of days for this. in particular though, where did the money go? the money went into the pockets of people that you and i have never heard of. and i'll give you another example you. when i was in human in 2011 as part of an investigation, again, the senate foreign relations committee. i went to see several american embassy
5:05 pm
officials to get an update on the situation in the country. and i was told that they were spending millions of dollars on a radio station that was broadcasting pro american propaganda in unit. and i said, well that's just such an old school propaganda operation. why would anybody be interested in that? and they said, oh we've, we've dedicated tens of millions of dollars to making it sound like this was being broadcast by the american network. national public radio, n p r, they would intersperse talk with jazz and it was, was in specifically at young people, teenagers, and people in their early twenties in yemen. of course it was a failure. so where did all that money go? it went into the pockets of middleman. the same thing happened in afghanistan. the same thing happens across africa. it happens everywhere that usa idea spending millions of dollars and doesn't have to account for it. at the end of the day,
5:06 pm
the defense industry in the united states is very proud when it says we do not give cash to foreign countries. we give in kind aid, which is yes and weapons and ammunition and weapon systems. that way, the government pays the defense contractors here in the united states, and it's the equipment that finds its way overseas. that's not always the case with us, say id. they do provide cash with a wink and a nod that we give you this money and you do what we want you to do. sometimes that happens most of the time, it doesn't. and we enrich a lot of very bad people overseas. here in washington, it was, it was an open secret for a long time that usa id was just simply an offshoot of the c i a and was involved in propaganda operations. you heard the clip were robert f. kennedy junior just came right out and said it, well now everybody knows that that's what usa id does. it's just
5:07 pm
a propaganda organization. it's an organization that promotes american foreign policy, whether over at lee or covertly, and as an american. i'm glad to see that it's going away, even if that is temporary. we heard one note about that we're kind of talking about . if us a id is cold, it's going to mean the likes of russia on, on china are going to get more influence around the world. will that argument tickled? i think, among democrats, yes, it will. but the truth is that, that, that's not, that's not really the situation that we see on the ground. the reason russia and china, especially china, are so successful in other countries around the world is because they spend so much is their money on age. they build roads, they build hospitals, they build airports and ports, and the united states spends its money on weapons and weapon systems. i spoke to an african diplomat once when i was still with the senate foreign relations committee and he said, you know, the difference between you, americans and the russians, is you promise us democracy,
5:08 pm
which really is weapons. and the russians promises food. but that's the difference in the united states, just can't understand that. so if the democrats find themselves in power again, been 2 years, at least on capital hill, or in 4 years with the white house. i think we're going to see usa id coming back and i'm going to, i think we're going to see the same old policies that we've always seen from the democrats, where it's going to be more and more and more military. a john curry echo on the program earlier. no r t. saskia taylor has been delving deeper into the mercury history of the agency. you discharge all those us taxpayer dollars across the world as an old hand and the biggest play in the game. usa, i, they really should have seen it coming. how often movies, decades, could they not have smelt a president shutting down here? is that the, the, the reasons that as opposed to simply because you're trying to do do some minor
5:09 pm
house cleaning is, is that as you're not getting through usa usa id, it became apparent that when we have here is, is not an apple was a woman. but we have actually just a bowl of ones. and so it's as a point which you don't really like for you to go to. apple is go to it, it may even take them out. but if you could actually just a ball of ones, it's as hopeless and you're savvy as a bowl of words. mm hm. right? there is no apple. and we're still apple. this, this, you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing. nothing but a crop with the gang of criminals. apparently spread thing on tax pays honda and cash samantha powers a. she had a worthy goal, although it was a stupid goal. she said she was hoping to get the amount of for an age us $8.00 that and go to actual aid up to $0.30 on the dollar from $0.10 on the dollar. that's a major problem that we have this agency that that's all that goes abroad. i think your time american workers dollar. i think now you're talking about the,
5:10 pm
the usa id at that age. yes. yes. you had. right. all us a i days, always to $15000000000.00 annual budget. it's estimated only 10 to 30 percent of it actually goes on aid. so what about the rest? well, has a hint. washington's beloved agency employees, a lot of regime change in fluids. yes. so buckle up for a press schools and old things who's starting close to home in america's back yard . if you happen to be in cuba, in the mid to thousands, for example, maybe you attempted to sign up to the local flash and also puts up spots. surprise, surprise, as soon as i knew it wasn't cool, it was a usa. i. d, lead co, but operation. the goal to dangle political messages in front of the cuban. you've got some wild up, get them onto the streets on top of castro puts,
5:11 pm
let's make it seem pro through send static. that will be absolutely no mention of united states government involvement. this is absolutely crucial for the long term success of the service and to ensure the success of the mission, which is strange because that website puts it on for lots about transparency and carlo. they were running another project on the car, being island. this one off line documents and interviews make clear that the program was aimed at recruiting a younger generation of opponents to cubans. castro government documents prepared for the us a id sponsored program called the h. i the workshop, the perfect excuse to conduct political activity. yes, usa, i do fake the offering health services to slip around and downtown some potential spies, fingers crossed and store them out on the inside just like they installed quite, quite low over in practice,
5:12 pm
you know that the man who was briefly considered venezuela's president by everyone about the venezuelans themselves, a $120000000.00. well spent. in addition, usa id has committed $128000000.00 to support venezuelan human rights defenders, civil society organizations, independent media, and electoral oversight. a lindsey madura regime is gone. the funding will support the recovery efforts led by a democratically elected venezuelan administration. well, a few 1000000, not a few months of spontaneous protests. maita nicholas madura was still. busy in office, so the dc leads to the day the grants. but the person that you recognize as the leader of democratic leader in minnesota is not here. what do you think about themselves or juan will here by home
5:13 pm
. one way though, the, the answering precedent the venezuela, the do recognize what a bit farther south usa i gave was also cool, right? handed, supporting set protest. invalid is eastern region. i'm sure it's a coincidence. but santa cruz is very, very results rich. all the highlights and sold georgia better us because it's don syria, the solomon islands, the recipient, some generous usa i. d gifts. and then woke, spied finance and is dependency with government laughter badly clinging onto power . but hey, maybe that's just a coincidence. then that was you crate usa id, which is the front point $5000000000.00 in the funding. those riots, those riots lead to the uh, to it could a talk against the 1st elect, the democratically elected of the ukraine
5:14 pm
a most before that comment is over on victoria new and you know, the part of the center piece of the, in the economy of the ology and who is now a high level official and the state department as a secret call with the us and passenger, which is tape recorded and is now public, which anybody can go and look up where she is picking the new cabinets the you okay, the good news here though, is that the agency is reading it to accounts every single time. the other one is my efforts. and this began years ago when we were trying to figure out what they were doing with our american taxpayer dollars, they were going to support humanitarian efforts and, and ukraine. so i wanted to know exactly how those dollars were being spent and not reasonable request. yes. oh my gosh,
5:15 pm
and i share this with you earlier ilan um, just private way, but we got all kinds of threats from usa id because i was trying to exercise my oversight capacity in congress. um, so this, this is shocking. i mean is it? oh, how i mean, honestly it is outrages that it a tax payer funded organization which threaten us senator, who's simply trying to figure out if merican tax per money is being spent correctly and, and not fraudulently. yes. but for one thing on rest and toppling need is, isn't usa, i days only bred them off to tom's resume. phrasal star named for 90 days, has left 90 percent of ukrainian media at risk upcoming dog. because yes, the agency is big on sponsoring independent journalism. and the child is proud to
5:16 pm
solve the o. c. c op a, not unless investigative organization spawning 6 continents with a team, but just one of the whole power in check. except interestingly, you don't get many dives into us corruption because that wouldn't be causing off the hand that feeds that somehow that sometimes gives it a speed pull to that end up bringing about real change. you know, i think as donors have realized, this is really important. um, this is having impact. we've probably been responsible for about 5 or 6 countries changing over from one government to another government. you know, because and getting, you know, of, and people, you know, prime ministers indicted or thrown out. it's the most important investigative reporting organization you've never heard of. so as las hand tightens that squared
5:17 pm
from the fry, which at this self appointed, going to in a freedom and justice, how i want to act that every now democracy can finally freeze free a subsidy at taylor with the breakdown. well, us is funding of what it calls, independent media and other organizations also expands to washington's closest allies. the b, b. c reports that it's international charge, the bbc media auction i do as a id, as the 2nd biggest donor for the $22324.00 financial. your 2nd only to the foreign office veteran. foreign correspondent martin j says it was a winning strategy for america at the, from the british broadcasters, projects. if you look at a bbc track record, you know of, um, not being too, um, uh, vigilance oh or a garage or aggressive way. it checks facts on stories that are aligned to it's so pools interpretations of conflicts and,
5:18 pm
and trouble spots around the world. interception syria, where we saw a group of people completely fake a chemical attack on them. and this was written up immediately within minutes, but it'd be c as a cycle means on people. these are the kind of things that you think may be just the 9 slot, the reports, and the facts. you know, it's often the case that they're all due to the school and financial powers behind the bbc, the up pushing their bosses in the region as, as a certain direction. so i think we should be very skeptical about bbc having the is that it's generally having a secondary list from being the american taxpayer. and let's be specific. you know, the, um, the work brigade with the in the us think it's good you know the story to bring you today. catholics down has published a preliminary reports on the us or by john airlines plane crash that killed more
5:19 pm
than half of the 6 feet. 7 people on board in december last year. or 2 correspondents in the email. short takes us through what was released. as you've mentioned, because of son has released the preliminary report on the as a by john airlines plane crash that occurred in december of 2024 or 38 people lost their lives. now, the report states that the investigative commission continues to conduct a detailed inspection of the aircraft. the report also had a photos of the damaged parts as well as the for and metal objects that were retrieved and slide data recorder analysis. the document also added that the investigation within the framework of the reports does not imply at the establishment of a share of guilt or responsibility. because this is a preliminary report and it can only really be clarified based on the study and research of all materials. but what's the remedial is point quick to put the blame
5:20 pm
on a russia stating that the for an object is a rep from a russian missile with no proof to back that up. meanwhile, russian aviation circles involved in the investigation came out stating that the russian side has not yet received samples of these for an objects for an examination. and the report itself does not really clarify what these objects are. now, it seems that the main things from the report is that the damage of the aircraft indicates that there was a penetration of external objects on board, which led to a pressure dropped and a stabilizer malfunction. and before the crash, the aircraft also changed its flight path, leading to a sharp climb and descend. they've also pointed out that'd be for an objects that were found would be taken for an examination. now overall, the report doesn't necessarily seem to give
5:21 pm
a direct reason behind the crash. so this is still quite a developing story. the hello chrome pause. he has, again advocated for the relocation of gallons from their loans to what he calls beautiful place has numa egypt and jordan. those remarks made ahead of his meeting with the is really prime minister. come despite both art of nations stating they're not going to take part in the plan. i don't know how they can want to stay. it's it's to demolition side. it's a pure demolition side. and we can find the right piece of land or numerous pieces of land and build them some really nice places. was plenty of money in the area that's for sure. and sort of have to monthly date. they have no interest of doing that, but a lot of people send things to me personally. everything that's been said has been incorrectly cited based on the results of the us president 1st suggested last month, the gals that should be, quote,
5:22 pm
cleaned out by moving old palestinians to neighboring countries while future post war reconstruction is on the way we asked the reading and buster to russian for his view of the proposal. i believe the you can never clean out a territory of its indigenous peoples. palestinians have been living in gaza for centuries, more than a 1000 years. you can't just push them off of their own land, but you can see that instability and danger linger in our region. conflicts continue precisely because of such attitudes, we must treat different people's fairly so that they may justly live on their territories. palestinians have been there forever and others came later. so i would like to pose the question, is it the aboriginal people who should stay or the occupants? what does your rational sense tell you? you can't a brute a people. this is a fact that the occupants may return to where they came from, as they have gathered citizens from various countries of the world. this land
5:23 pm
doesn't belong to them. they can just go back. there is also another democratic solution. our supreme leader has said that there could be a referendum on all of these territories and muslims, christians, jews, and others, will vote there to choose how this land should be governed. and based on it, they will build a government and that will be justice. i think it's realistic to peruse this the not the atx anniversary of the your conference is being marked the meeting of the allied forces. big 3 was a pivotal milestone and global diplomacy destined to guide the collective order and security of post world war 2 society. as ortiz, political correspondent, hugo, or pissing off reports, it also was a long way ensuring the united nations came into b. as it was an iconic meeting, which symbolized the rare unity between the heavy weights of the 2nd world war.
5:24 pm
winston churchill of the united kingdom franklin roosevelt of the united states and joseph stalin of the soviet union. this picture is part of a unique eggs, admission taking visitors behind the scenes of this david all moments in human history. the classified documents and maps and diagrams show how the l a meters coordinated their military strategy towards the end of the war. how the invasions, the political future of a liberated to europe and the plans to prevent something as horrific as that war from ever happening. again, one of those ways was through the creation of the united nations and it was it the alta conference where the leaders finalized details on the security council was the voting procedures and veto bowers. it was supposed to be fair for everyone involved since most countries in the british empire and the commonwealth were guaranteed voting powers. stalin requested the same for the republics of the soviet union. they settled on 3 and agreed that each of the big 5 could veto any action by the
5:25 pm
council. can see the answer to get on the if the can see the conference into ron was the conference on how to defeat the germany and see the conference and post them determined how to rule. defeated the germany and the conference. and y'all to it was a conference on how the world would look like it after this. decisions were made regarding a certain restructuring or renewal of the league of nations. that is, the foundations were laid towards the united nations, which as you know, is still functioning. we have long since moved away from the results of the all to agreements, but some elements are still working. this is mostly due to the in viability of borders in europe. and the united nations, of course, can still functions in the form, in which it was conceived by the participants of the yalta conference and testing to y'all took a consider butts over 80 years so fast since then. and the world has changed. meaning now feel that the united nations no longer reflects or satisfies the needs of our multiple are world and our calling for change. spearheading these calls is
5:26 pm
one of the original members just put on the computer and use with us. so we have repeatedly said the powers like india and brazil. my old accounts have long does it have to be permanent members of the security council and appropriate decision is also needed for african permanent membership in the united nations was established as a result of the failures of the league of nations which was created after the 1st world war, it fell apart because it didn't achieve its main objective world peace and it doesn't look like the un isn't doing any better considering all the complex, raging around the world. despite the rise of the global south africa, the un security council still looks like this. not a reflection of the real world, and definitely not a way to insure a global peace or growth with even the un secretary general admitting he can no longer ignore the growing calls for before. so it is absolutely essential to have very farm. this is because we to make this is that because somebody be sensitive to those roles and to make his body sick. this was one of the central questions that
5:27 pm
would be right in the subject of the world has evolved into a smock into connected on multiple loc every now and its members have increased full fold since you once inception. yep. so you n remain. so prison out of the past expansion and proper representation in the permanent category is a particular embedded aisha, africa, and latin america. the global soft, cannot continue to be short changed. achieving and maintaining peace and security requires. the collective will of the community of nations, god, but here it requires that the u. n. a security council should be more representative body and inclusive, almost 80 years later, many things have changed and we need
5:28 pm
a larger and more representative council with voices from latin america and africa to really contribute to peace and security. the reform of the security council should uphold fairness and justice increased the representation and voice of developing countries allowing more small and medium sized countries to have more opportunities to participate in the decision making of the council. in particular, it should redress historical injustices against africa. within 1940, as were all about creating a new world order, learning from past mistakes and building a better right or future. but the passing decades revealed how fragile such partnerships are and the need for a larger group of people to be able to make decisions. take africa, for example, over 50 african countries are members of the united nations, yet not one has a permanent seed at the un security council. that's around 17 percent of the world's population. compare that with friends for example,
5:29 pm
which has less than one percent. it just doesn't make sense. the west claims, it's now ready to welcome some of them, but without 0 bowers, we are not interested in being token members of the security council. africa must be treated as an equal player, not as a secondary act to africa cannot have a 2nd class participation on the un security council. we demanded require that we should have serious participation. one fix that we from africa demand is for the united nations to embrace democracy and the security council by giving africa to permanent seats with vito power and institution that excludes $54.00 african countries. while allowing one nation to veto the decisions of the remaining 193 member states is unacceptable. the council is dysfunctional on democratic non inclusive, unaccountable, autocratic, and opaque. that's why russia is calling for real reforms, but moscow is not suggesting
5:30 pm
a new organization insisting that the framework already exists, but needs polishing, and ensuring everyone's voices are heard and respected. it's what we've heard from russian officials, time and time again, building a fair, multiple world based on the principles of equal and indivisible, security. and together with this un security council reform, we will make the west understand that it is no longer capable of imposing its own rules on the whole world. for many centuries pumping out results is from africa, asia, and latin america no longer capable of living at the expense of others. we should seek a balance of interests. if things continue this way with the majority of the world continuing feeling in order to install only a matter of time before countries give up on the united nations and start talking about building something else. it already happened decades ago in history does have a habit of repeating itself equal or biskin off r t a lot is
