I want to thank, by the way, Data Republican, a great account on Twitter, also put together a tool at datarepublican.com where you can go and search this stuff for yourself. So I encourage you to go to datarepublican.com. Type in USAID to the grant search tool and see what comes up. I just did this, okay? And here's just one small sample of something I found.

$30 million going to an organization called Creative Associates International. What does Creative Associates International do? They fund women in the Guatemalan highlands to stitch their own ponchos. They also fund vague community organizing efforts in Burkina Faso.

I dare anyone listening this to explain to me why that money being spent on ponchos in the Guatemalan highland is more appropriate than spending that money to fix up, let's say, the floods in North Carolina or the fires that just devastated our people in California.

Yeah, so this is right. And I think, you know, this requires a kind of deep dive into the history of the State Department and some of our globalist policies. What some people like our friend Darren Beattie, who's now at the Department of State, has called the global American empire, which is really an offshoot of the neocons going back to the Iraq war.

in this idea that we could spread democracy across the world. And we would do that by force initially. It turns out that you can't just march an army into a place like Iraq or Afghanistan and turn it into a liberal democracy.

So over the last decade, that strategy has transmogrified now and we use a kind of soft power and we use this kind of ideology of wokeness to impose the interests of this global American empire on the rest of the world. A lot of this is represented in things like LGBTQI plus initiatives, things like environmental justice initiatives.

He mentioned, for example, he found that a lot of Christian organizations and religious organizations around the world, this money is dangled over their head and they only get access to it so long as they allow for and accept the leftist activist views on things like LGBT TB issues and trans issues.

So it's a way to sort of force this ideology onto the rest of the world. A quick history lesson here. OK, I'm reminded of Tacitus, who writing about the Roman Empire and quoting. A leader of the Britons describing the wrath and devastation of the Roman Imperial Army had the quote, they make a desert and they call it peace.
