“Americans have had to live through 20% inflation under Pres. Biden,” Sen. Kennedy said. “They understand what Musk is doing to stop wasting taxpayer money.”
Kennedy went on to bring the receipts.
“Musk is doing what the American people have wanted for years,” Kennedy said. “But in Washington, common sense is illegal.”
“They understand what Musk is doing,” he said of Americans who suffered and are still suffering Bidenflation. “They understand spending porn and wasting taxpayer money.”

“Now. Mr. Musk started with the USAID that handles a lot of foreign aid for America. American people very generous. And in our country, you know, when you’re homeless, we’ll house you. When you’re when you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. In our country, when you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor, and we send a lot of money overseas to help our world’s neighbors, and the USAID is in charge in large part of that. But I tell you what Mr. Musk discovered.”
“He discovered that the American taxpayers are giving money to Afghanistan. He found that we are giving money to Yemen. He found that we are giving money to a Syria. I didn’t know that some of our foreign aid is going to Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria,” he began:
“He found that the USAID has 10,000 people, 10,000 people employees, and every year they give away $40 billion. Mr. Musk also found — and I’m not saying that, that all of this money is wasteful … I’m sure does some goo. That’s why Secretary Rubio is going to revamp the department and separate the good from the bad. But this is the kind of stuff Mr. Musk found. He found that the USAID gave money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam — our money, taxpayer money. He found that USAID gave money to a transgender clinic in India. I didn’t know that. I bet you, the American people didn’t know that. He found that the USAID gave $1.5 million to a Serbian LGBTQ group … Anyway, they got $1.5 million to quote, advance diversity equity, inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities.”
“What else did Mr. Musk found that my colleagues don’t want to talk about? Well, he reviewed a study and then went and checked it. … They found that USA Id spent $164 million to support radical organizations about around the world. We’re not talking Cub Scout troops here — talking about radical organizations around the world.”
“They gave $122 million of that to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations, our taxpayer money, according to this report and Mr. Musk. The USAID has given millions of dollars, to quote organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas. Why? Why aren’t my colleagues talking about that recipients of the money?”
