over 80% of the senior positions in the department of state are held by those of european heritage, white. over 60% held by men, even though women are more than 50% of the population. statistically, there are things we can get after, not making people hire, but ensuring everyone had access to pursue to the best of their abilities their professional advancements. catriona: of course, if you were still in your position today, you have -- would have been put on administrative leave last week based on one of those executive orders president trump signed. he specifically named getting rid of chief diversity officer is in federal departments. one of the reasons that he and people who support this initiative say, they feel that people get jobs because, as the president would say, how they look, and not their qualifications. was there any evidence of that? gina: no, there is not. this is an indication of up is down. the whole point of diversity, equity, inclusion is to prevent that. let me give you an example. one of the changes made at the department was to demand that senior positions be advert

grateful for your work and our team at the pennsylvania department of state that handles communications during this challenging time. al schmidt. formerly i was an elected city commissioner, election commissioner of philadelphia, republican for 10 years before joining pennsylvania department of state. we put together a mercifully brief powerpoint. i hate powerpoint but like winston churchill said about democracy, it's the worst form of government except for all the alternatives. powerpoint is the worst form of visual communication --than all the alternatives. briefly, top takeaways we have from the '24 election cycle which went smoothly in pennsylvania despitehe attention from left and rht and our position as a swing state, for presidential elections, were a few things. i visited 67 counties toit down with election directors, county commissioners, those responsible for running elections at county level which is where the action happens, to hear from them and learn how pennsylvania department of state can be supportive of their efforts in the event challenges occur and sat down with thei

to be clear, you're not endorsing getting rid of usaid as a separate department, which already reports to the secretary of statee you? >> i would be absolutely for, if that's the path we go down, removing usaid as a separate department and fall under one of the other parts of department of state because of its failure. i went over the numbers twice with you in the amount of aid that makes it into the hands. i mean you could almost say this is a little bit hyperbole but probably more dollars that go to state dinners around the d.c. beltway than into rice and beans abroad. that's the state of what's going on with usaid. samantha powers said no less herself. >> every administration authorizes reviews, could increase efficiencies, plenty of people who propose bringing it more under the authority of the state department, madeleine albright tried to do that. that's not a new maga idea. the question here is about how you do it. do you still believe that in the laws signed in in the 1960s, that congress has to sign off on any changes to usaid or do you think president trump can just make all of this happen through exec

inputs on we call it and pull up its 3 days the fence managed by the department of defense diplomacy managed by the department of state and development, which is managed by u. s. a r d. no. why it's so important because in 1961, it was created by the congress as part of the eh, a assistance to reward. so barnstead, she is created by the congress. it must be these old only by congress not to buy at executive order by the president. now, how would this be managed? it's been managed by 3 parties. the president be the head of the department of state, which is uh the, um, uh, what's his name um the id as well. yeah. yeah. and the national security council. so the national security council has a major role in this. so we are talking about that i can't play you in the u. s. national security. we are talking about the main tool of the u. s. national security. and so what's happening now, what's happening is the trump administration of always the drain, judy, judy yates, and formulate a policy of i. so i, so they shoot me zoom in the u. s, which might be very destructive to deliberate age of b. u. s. big, socio economic and po

as a state department official we would try to keep usaid in line with the secretary of state, and it very difficult, there was no traceability, no accountability and it was hard to do our jobs with the state department to keep everything in mind with the secretary. stuart: give me an example. >> the list goes on and on and on. i read recently they were funding a sesame street program, we've gotten so out of control and usaid was created by president kennedy under executive order and his idea for the agency would be house under the department of state, donald trump and marco rubio to bring usaid back under the department of state. stuart: what they are doing is try to bring some accountability for the money we are spinning around the world, $40 billion a year for accountability of where the money went. is it in america's interest to spend money that way? >> absolutely. you have a department out there spending money not in alignment, the natural inclination is to bring back into review. and perhaps cut it. donald trump as ceo of the united states has deputized elon musk as i see the fa

of the united states america. so far so good. that's true. that enormous pile is not vest in the department's of agencies and stafford administrator bhatt is an non-governmental or other equities and interest close to the governor. now that's where he is way off track. he's arty way off track. we make laws. there is an executive branch that is aal creature of federal law. this guys theory is no, we elect a king. we elect a person who doesn't have to deal with any existing statutes, , how does the department of transportation this david federal funds? isn't is a by formula or doo grants? how does the center for medicare, medicaid determine who gets grant funding for a hospital? right? all of that over the years has been decided as a matter of la, and what russell vought is saying is the president must set and enforce the plan for exact revenge. sadly however a present today assumes office to find a a sprawling federal bureaucracy is all too often carrying out its own policies planes and preferences or worship the policy plans andpr preferences f a radical supposedly woke faction of the country

of the u.s. government, and we should have members from the state department, the secretary of state rubio present. and my democratic colleagues and i have asked the chairman to have a committee hearing with secretary rubio. and i urge that to be done as soon as possible. the american people deserve to have their elected representatives question the administration about the decision to shut down a government agency established in law by congress. we don't have a keen. -- a king. we have a system. if the administration believes what they've done is legal, and merited, they should be before congress. they should be here. they should be talking to the american people directly. we should be summoning them here. i also want to do away with the myth that this exercise of doge and usaid is about addressing waste, fraud, and abuse. because if you really care about waste, fraud, and abuse, you don't illegally fire 21 independent inspectors general in the dark of night. you don't fire the head of the government ethics office. just this week president trump fired usaid's independent inspector generals, just

from 1940 onward, he worked for the white house, department of state department of defense. the arms, arms control and disarmament agency. he was detailed to the us air force and department, the treasury, and consulted for the central intelligence agency and senate foreign relations committee. even outside his service to eight presidential administrations, it's remained vital in framing influencing debates about u.s. nuclear policy. you also write that it's a crafted, a new type of career national security professional. unlike his mentors and your peers, he never returned to his pre-world war two occupation as an investment banker. by the way, the wall street chapter is fantastic. i mean, this man had an entire ten year career on wall street. and reading that, it was like reading biography of steve schwarzman or something. it's quite a lot packed into one life. the early days of, the cold war demanded generalists with competence in multiple areas. military strategy intelligence, diplomacy, the know how to achieve results, whether in the private sector, academia or government

come back in the form of donations to our politicians and needs to be put under the auspices of the state department and overseen by the secretary of state, whether he's a democrat or republican. it doesn't need to be this little agency that's going to decide where these billions and billions of dollars go. we are $37 trillion in debt. we aren't going to tax the rich to get out of this. it's going to sink the country if we don't change it. there's a huge amount of waste in almost every segment. the defense department that called, what about all these g-12 level employees of the government making $150,000, $200,000 a year that weren't even going to work during the last four years since covid? is that kind of wasteful? i think it is. and that's what elon musk has petitioned to try to clean up. he's going to check it out and check back with trump. as the guy from massachusetts said, we've got to start somewhere. we cannot continue. the guy from the defense department that said morale is very low. well, who has been running the country for the last four years if morale is so low? the federal government

forecast for the us department of state. it started circulating online today as the rest. >> of. >> the government and the rest of the country continued to contend with elon musk and donald trump's claims. that, boy, they sure found a lot of waste in the government. and isn't it great what they're doing? isn't it great? and definitely not at all illegal or profoundly corrupt, for the president to put someone with billions of dollars in government contracts personally in charge of deciding what happens to government contracts? i mean, hopefully the state department isn't planning on parking its $400 million worth of armored tesla production units like under. >> a walnut tree. or or like out in the rain. but otherwise. >> that's obviously a. super kosher use of taxpayer funds, and not at all $400 million worth of self-dealing by the president's top campaign donor, to whom he has handed the keys to the kingdom. definitely not ripping us all off to pay themselves. right? this was the protest today outside the headquarters of the

has apparently somehow convinced the united states government, specifically the united states department of state, that the taxpayers of the united states of america should spend $400 million buying, quote, armored tesla production units. the line item here appears to be for a $400 million taxpayer purchase of production units of armored teslas. so since i think the only supposedly armored production vehicles tesla makes are these hilarious trucks, this really appears to be the state department announcing putting in writing that it's going to spend $400 million by buying these paperweights from elon musk. this is a line item in the latest procurement forecast for the us department of state. it started circulating online today as the rest of the government and the rest of the country continued to contend with elon musk and donald trump's claims. that, boy, they've sure found a lot of waste in the government. and isn't it great what they're doing? isn't it great? and definitely not at all illegal or profoundly corrupt for the president to put someone with billions of dollars in government contracts

plans are already underway for the department of education, the department of state, the department of defense. elon musk recently said when there is an important task, he will keep working until that job is done or die trying. naturally, democrats, they're not too happy. they don't want government accountability. they don't want limited government. they don't want a return to constitutional order. they want the power that comes with that money, that influence they think they have with your money. they haven't been this worked up in a while. they were out of the denial and grief stage, and now they're back to the anger stage when it comes to all things. donald trump. moments ago, elizabeth warren had a full public meltdown while ranting and raving about elon musk. you got to love this. take a look. >> no one elected elon musk to nothing. >> that's right. >> not one democrat in america voted for elon musk. not one, not one republican in america voted for elon musk. not one independent in america voted for elon musk. not one libertarian in america voted for elon musk. damn. not one veget

elections at the county level which is where the action is, to hear from them and learn how the department of state can be supportive of their efforts in the event challenges occur and most importantly sat down with their local newspaper or tv station or all the rest. for me, this cycle largely informed by the experience in 2020 running elections in philadelphia is local media is really worth our effort and attention. it's not important to be on, it is important to be on cnn and msnbc and fox and all the rest but local sources of information are really much more trusted than national so make sure to sit down at a coffee shop with the local newspaper or tv station or radio station or whatever else and that was the focus of our attention so that when problems arose we have those relationships already built up. they knew who to contact on our team to make sure small problems did not become big problems or were exaggerated or misinterpreted in some way. we also held a series of stakeholder meetings with nonprofit organizations, nonpartisan, nonpolitical organizations, they've been largely dominated by

through non-governmental organizations and rather than other non-state agencies that partner up with the field offices of the usaid state department, whatnot, which again, by extension, if the united states freezes, pulls out, reduces that level of assistance, the if those organizations used some of the resources that operational costs for them to administer through the those those aid packages on the ground, i don't know where they will come up with alternative resources because neither russia, neither china nor russia, they work through ngos the ground both russia and china, they work through state to state channels. if ngos are involved, they are geos in the name only. they are. the good news. they are the government organized, non-governmental organizations. there are fewer of those that russia works with mostly in serbia and a handful of other locations. but still all of that funding is strictly controlled by the state and china also works through the government channels. yes so it is going to affect now that you brought it up, i think it's going to have a trickle down effect on civil societies in those countries. so there wi

exactly was being rescinded here, they should contact the director of foreign assistance at the department of state. and before you ask, no, no, there currently is no one holding the job of director of foreign assistance at the department of state. there is nobody there. but that is where marco rubio says you should go for clarification on this thing he's tried to undo because of all the pushback, but they're still not even really sure what they did. so they don't know what they're taking back. they are not sending their best. and i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that diversity does not seem to be the cause of the problem here. seems like it seems like it might be something else, but they're not sending their best, and the american people know it and are pushing back. and democrats in washington are starting to get up on their hind legs and yell about it like they should have from the very beginning. and that's proving to be effective (vo 1) about 1 in 5 people with fatty liver disease have nash which can lead to cirrhosis.

the white house of trump is in talks with us a id officials to got the agency and merge. what's left with the us state department, secretary of state, marco rubio confirmed, he's now usa. i these acting director and acute it's previous leaders of insubordination. everything may be an alignment. the national interest of you as a id is the world's largest distributor of food assistance. it provides humanitarian relieved, and ukraine, and drives global campaigns against coby 19 and h i. v. aids. upon taking office. trump ordered a 90 day pause to us for an aide. life saving programs were later announced to be exempt, but n g o worker say the roll out has been so chaotic that even now african aids patients are being turned away from us funded clinics. there already is suffering all over the world as a result of this. but it's not just that. it's about that instability from starvation and disease. we'll visit us in the united states of america, democrats or valley to block confirmation of trumps. the state department nominations until you as a id is restored, but many aid workers say they're fearful of further stokin

we'll visit us in the united states of america, democrats or valley to block confirmation of trumps. the state department nominations until us a id is restored, but many aid workers say they're fearful of further stoking. trump's anger. heidi jo castro. alger 0, washington rebel groups in democratic republic of congo have declared a unilateral cease fire, started going choose they. they say it's for humanitarian reasons. agencies have raised concerns about the worst thing situation in game, or one to back to em. 23 rebels to control disease and city last monday of to days of fist fighting. catherine, sorry to joins us now from not right. being said, catherine, this beat and updates on the number of people killed is that right? yeah. and they've been a lot of discrepancies as well. uh we have been speaking to uh, the government spokesman ink and shasta and the interior minister who have updated the figures and they said that government essays that so 2000 people had been killed in those few days during the fighting in go. but it's a huge number by the you when have also updated just because and they say t

on that they do intend to carry on some of foreign aid some sort of foreign aid and that they are subsuming it into department �* statey secretary of state marco rubio at least on acting basis. he laid out a an acting basis. he laid out a little earlierjust little bit earlierjust what his vision is of what the will look like now. his vision is of what the agency will look like now. should be specially specially designated fashion from the top down, but we had no cooperation from the bottom up. what is your �* of that from the thatworking from the bottom is a gift to china david up? is a gift to china as david said a moment ago? i up? is a gift to china as david said 6 hitiment ago? i up? is a gift to china as david said 6 hit a rent ago? i up? is a gift to china as david said 6 hit a rent ago of very david hit a number of very important points. there's a lot here. £7: 2 —= 2—— 2 here. i'll start at te eheeeh here, ll! start at - general down te eheeeh here, ll! start as general down the specifics. :-=: e_ee* - what they . attempting first, what they are attempting to do— first, what they are attempting to do is— first

the us president says, but what's left of the agency once he's done with it will merge with the state department. the rumors that only 300 of the car in 414000 employees will keep the jobs, is a secretary of state doubled down on that saying that america's interest have to come 1st. i am the acting director of usa i. d, i've, i've delegated that authority to someone, but i stay in touch with him. and again, our goal was to go in and align our foreign aid to the national interest. there are a lot of functions of usa id that are going to continue to are going to be part of american foreign policy. but it has to be aligned with american foreign policy. the attitude, the usa idea is adopted over the years is know, we are independent of the national interest. we fund programs, irrespective of whether it's aligned or not aligned with the foreign policy. that's ridiculous. these are tax payer dollars. you look at the waste and abuse that has run through usa id over the past several years. these are some of the insane priorities that that organization has been spending money on. $1500000.00 to advance t

so if you absorb, you said under the department of state, then the, the political strategic interest will always outweigh the humanitarian interests. the beauty of you said, you said wasn't perfect, you know, but, but they were good, much more than they, they did not do harm door of an organization that saved lives, that built schools that protected families that protected people. and so if you in bid that under political organization use something that you use that she monetary and focus, that is really needed for humanitarian organizations. we have to be guided by humanitarian principles. and we can't be influenced by a leadership, political leadership, which i would fear under under sen. rubio, thank you so much kerry for talking to us about it. thank you. kerry kennedy from the american friend services committee, joining a staff from philadelphia. thank you for your time. thank you. well, in zimbabwe, housework is one that some of the most vulnerable communities will be heard by trump's decision to, to spend for an age maybe age ivy, aids patients here they will no longer receive

it could do so independently, the bureaucracies of the state department or we know how long it takes to approve any kind of allocations by the congress. so, and it had small but very dedicated personnel. the history has shown that that office in particular did stay committed to those humanitarian principles of impartiality neutrality and personality of humanitarian assistance. as the united states became more and more involved militarily in various parts of the world, there was kind of a tactical necessity so to say to have staff of the office for humanitarian assistance to work in close proximity to the geographic commands. it made a lot of sense because for some of those situations where humanitarian disasters had unfolded were emergences, conflict disasters and environmental disasters, ma tactical sense to have that enter agency staff working to gather. but, it did not stay at the tactical level. elevated in over time many of these kind of decision-making economy and economy making financial decisions were taken away from, you know, the office of the bureau of humanitarian assistan

bens is, but those who bob so not quite across the ins and outs of what's going on regarding usa, mike bens is a former state department work of or a so he knew what was going on in the state department, he knew what was happening with us 8 and he's been a mess. it can be critical since he left the state department several years ago about the corruption. the real thing in usaid is that you could say he was well ahead of the cook and he's been talking in this interview with chuck a cost in about how it was essentially being used to prop up us foreign policy to instigate regime change. move out, color, governments, instigate color revolutions across the world. he's talking, as you mentioned, that specifically about what happened in bangladesh just a few months ago. we recent example there with these student process, what we saw at tens of individuals being killed. and then we saw legally elected a need to find, let's just to shake the scene that's fleeing the country for her life in a helicopter. she late to accuse the us of being behind who essentially meddling in the country, trying to get rid of her for a very specifi

americas total foreign assistance. us presidents says that what's left of agency once you've done with it, will be much with the state department. there are rumors that are only $300.00 of the car. it's 14000 while cuz we'll keep that jolts level of the state department official has now also helps blow the lead on usa i d. mike bens speaking with tucker carlson, detailed agencies role in creating tales. i'm toppling documents worldwide. has one recent example that he highlighted they saw the l g b t population to a to bangladesh. she ethnic minority groups and young students and student groups who had already been protesting that earlier that year because of the big some, a local, local politics issue there. and, and they noted, you know, that at rap music was, was popular and young people were listening to rap music in bangladesh. so what do they do? they, they turned around and they took us taxpayer funds. they get a 100 percent of the money from, from the state department, and they work closely with usa. they actually administer usaid programs all over bangladesh and all over the world. and they funded bangladesh. she rap gr

that they actually have the authority to just simply move usa id underneath the umbrella of the state department. now we've heard from the secretary state marco rubio, he says that there some of these programs will continue once they are reviewed. but i think it's important to point out that when he was a senator, he defended for assistance, pointed out that it's less than one percent of the federal spending. so there will be court challenges. but that's going to do very little because it's going to take time. in the meantime, this community is simply in chaos. and this might not be the only group community in chaos passing because it's not the only department we're hearing. the trump administration administration is going to try to shut down up next to the department of education. apparently he's mentioned this on the campaign trail, but we're starting to see reports that there were to do that even before there is a secretary of the department of education and the trumpet, ministration and memos has made clear that they know they can't just simply shut down the department of education, but thei
