Ghost payments that are going out that a program officer puts in for a payment to a contractor, to somebody. And then the program officer retires, dies, leaves, is gone, and the payments just keep on going.

And, you know, he said it's stunning, the treasury computers have a field where you categorize, okay, what is this payment for? And what in the congressional appropriation is it going for? And he said, routinely, That field is left blank. He said USAID, they always left it blank, he said.

So there's no way, he said, in many ways it's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to audit the billions of dollars that are going out the door because they don't keep the records. And it was interesting, Elon's comments, he said, if any public company did this, he said they would be massively fined and the executives would be put in jail.

Well, let me say, you and I are both at the Club for Growth conference down in Florida today. I will say the Club for Growth is an extraordinarily important conservative and a free market organization.

Senate were it not for the Club for Growth making a big gamble on me. They know how to pick winners. And by the way, when the club got behind me 13 years ago when I first ran, I was literally at 2% in the polls. You had to be out of your ever-loving minds to be backing me. The last job I had been elected to was student council. And the club leaned in in a big way and shocked every observer.
