Reckless Government Spending: A Closer Look at Misplaced Priorities and Political Diversions
Show Notes
Is unchecked government spending the real constitutional crisis? This episode questions the allocation of USAID funds and the priorities in government spending, likening it to a teenager recklessly using a parent's credit card. We dissect some eyebrow-raising examples—millions for sex changes in Guatemala, tourism in Egypt, and a Sesame Street show in Iraq. All while pressing domestic issues go unaddressed. Join us as we unravel the absurdity of these financial decisions and the growing public outcry over how taxpayer dollars are being used.
00:00:03.665 --> 00:00:11.055 Folks, what would you do if you found out your kid was taking your credit card and spending money like crazy?
00:00:11.055 --> 00:00:24.704 You get the credit card bill and you find out that your kid has just bought you know a subscription to a porn magazine, or bought you know, weed with your credit card, or you know let's.
00:00:24.704 --> 00:00:25.608 Go on and on and on.
00:00:25.608 --> 00:00:31.902 You'd probably lose your mind at asking your teenager, or your kid whatever what the hell's wrong with you.
00:00:31.902 --> 00:00:35.271 So why aren't we doing that in the United States?
00:00:35.271 --> 00:00:42.673 Why are we letting this kind of spending go amok without a single shot fired, without a single question?
00:00:42.673 --> 00:00:58.469 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Rent Network.
00:00:58.469 --> 00:01:01.351 I am David Solomon, he is Stuart, thank you, and so much more.
00:01:01.351 --> 00:01:19.912 This is a roller coaster conversation where sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree and we might get heated, and yet we still come back three times a week to continue these conversations, because we're all about expressing our honest opinions, and this is what it is our honest opinions, though we do take the time to fact check quite a bit.
00:01:19.912 --> 00:01:21.503 This is the absurdity, folks.
00:01:21.503 --> 00:01:35.430 And today I'm going to ask one damn serious question what is wrong with the Democrats, stuart and I'm going to take a little bit of time here, if you forgive me for this little intro.
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:39.870 You know, the amazing thing about the Democrats is that they need catchphrases.
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:46.933 They probably have hired a PR firm and say you know, we need a catchphrase to attach it to Donald Trump.
00:01:51.325 --> 00:01:57.506 We've tried, hitler Didn't work, but we have a new one Constitutional crisis.
00:01:57.506 --> 00:02:07.694 Yes, donald Trump is causing a constitutional crisis because he's brought in Elon Musk to open up the books all over the place.
00:02:08.219 --> 00:02:15.887 Now, usaid was the first location that they went after, and let me just give you, stuart, a couple of the spending and you tell me why.
00:02:15.887 --> 00:02:16.870 This makes a little bit sense.
00:02:16.870 --> 00:02:48.121 We talked about this last week on about DEI programs, but would you like to explain to me that, according to sources, the Middle East Forum's multi-year study of USAID and State Department spending has uncovered $164 million of approved grants to radical organizations, with at least $122 million going to groups aligned with designated terrorists and their supporters and their supporters?
00:02:48.121 --> 00:02:51.306 Usaid, according to the Washington Examiner, gave $270 million to a George Soros NGO.
00:02:51.328 --> 00:02:52.490 Now you want to explain to me?
00:02:52.490 --> 00:03:01.181 You know what George Soros is alleged to be tied to right folks, all those lovely little you know, university campus protests and all the rest of that crap.
00:03:01.181 --> 00:03:07.902 And so my question is today, folks, if you know that the spending stinks, why?
00:03:07.902 --> 00:03:20.627 Why are we screaming constitutional crisis about Donald Trump and not hey, let's go incarcerate all these Democrats that put these programs in place, stuart?
00:03:20.627 --> 00:03:26.025 So now that I've taken that time, stu, what the hell?
00:03:26.025 --> 00:03:27.349 What's wrong with your country?
00:03:28.620 --> 00:04:04.646 Well, if you were on the USAID website, you would seem to think it's a typical government website, trying to illustrate the international assistance, the domestic assistance, the international assistance, the domestic assistance on where all the money goes, how much was awarded, what are the number of contracts, and it's literally right here at your fingertips, or so you would think, as you flip through the USAID website, until it will be taken down, probably in not so distant future.
00:04:04.646 --> 00:04:13.008 But what you don't know and what you don't see is the insanity that the left is defending.
00:04:13.008 --> 00:04:26.209 Now, I don't know about you, but, like you said, about a credit card and being responsible to spend two million dollars for sex changes in Guatemala.
00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:30.154 $6 million for tourism in Egypt.
00:04:30.154 --> 00:04:38.747 $20 million for a Sesame Street show called Allah Simitson in Iraq.
00:04:38.747 --> 00:04:43.730 4.5 information to combat disinformation.
00:04:43.730 --> 00:04:50.677 10 million for meals for Al-Qaeda that went to the Nusa front.
00:04:50.677 --> 00:04:59.882 Half a million dollars to empower women from violence in Israel, just 10 days before Hamas right.
00:04:59.882 --> 00:05:13.850 $25 million to Deloitte to promote green transportation in Georgia not Georgia, florida, or Georgia, atlanta, georgia, but I mean, like Georgia, the country you know.
00:05:14.172 --> 00:05:19.050 $4.67 million for non-governmental organizations to research at Wuhan.
00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:21.035 Six, seven million for non-governmental organizations to research at Wuhan.
00:05:21.035 --> 00:05:25.442 Do you remember Wuhan, the source of COVID that shut us down.
00:05:25.442 --> 00:05:31.029 20 million for strengthening transparency and accountability.
00:05:31.029 --> 00:05:45.795 Right, the OCCCR sounds like the CCP believe it went to lead to Russiaate to impeach Donald J Trump.
00:05:45.795 --> 00:05:46.117 How about that?
00:05:46.117 --> 00:05:51.148 So there's actually $20 million from USAID that helped pay for the Russiagate Unbelievable.
00:05:51.148 --> 00:05:59.064 This lists 1.7, 7.9 for Sri Lanka for binary gender language affirmation training.
00:05:59.064 --> 00:06:08.535 For Sri Lanka for binary gender language affirmation training 1.1 to 1.2, 1.3, 1.5,.
00:06:08.535 --> 00:06:25.812 I mean this is a list of payoffs, david, from top to bottom for equity inclusion, manipulation, manipulation, nothing, nothing that would be considered prudent taxpayer spending.
00:06:25.812 --> 00:06:32.043 And it's including the USAID is alleged to have fueled the regime change in Bangladesh.
00:06:32.043 --> 00:06:47.317 Sources on Reuters News, not Fox.
00:06:47.336 --> 00:06:48.603 Right, you got to follow the bouncing ball.
00:06:48.603 --> 00:06:50.089 And why is the left yelling and screaming?
00:06:50.089 --> 00:07:00.487 Because the payoff gig is up and all the pork that we've been paying for is no longer going to be paid, and the left is up in arms.
00:07:00.487 --> 00:07:01.089 I love it.
00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:02.997 I actually love the meltdown.
00:07:02.997 --> 00:07:07.095 You know when your child is upset or hurt, you kind of feel bad.
00:07:07.095 --> 00:07:12.517 But they're the moments where your child is kicking and screaming and you're sitting there laughing and going.
00:07:12.517 --> 00:07:14.115 They're going to wear themselves out.
00:07:14.115 --> 00:07:15.420 I'm not concerned.
00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:22.641 This is one of those moments and they don't have a single leg to stand on.
00:07:22.641 --> 00:07:44.817 And those that are following along saying, yes, this is wrong, are the same ones wondering why I don't have money for my city, why my inner city is not being kept, why I don't have law enforcement is not being kept, why I don't have law enforcement, why do I have veterans on the street and immigrants in five-star hotels?
00:07:44.817 --> 00:07:47.603 Why are these payoffs continuing to happen?
00:07:47.603 --> 00:07:54.744 Is the sole reason why USAID was the first target of the new administration?
00:07:54.744 --> 00:08:02.302 Because they were asked hey, all departments, anything dealing with foreign aid?
00:08:02.302 --> 00:08:03.944 Can we take a pause?
00:08:12.315 --> 00:08:26.166 We want to take a look in Gaza, where the Holocaust, hitler-styled abuse of the neo-Nazi party is ongoing.
00:08:26.166 --> 00:08:43.926 In Gaza, yep, you, the American taxpayer at least we know for sure, the American taxpayer, maybe you, the Canadian taxpayer as well have been paying for a neo-Nazi party to rain terror on the Jewish state.
00:08:43.926 --> 00:08:50.937 I am by any stretch so not shocked.
00:08:50.937 --> 00:08:59.774 To find all this out and to bring this to the light should be everyone's dream.
00:08:59.774 --> 00:09:04.259 But just so you understand, it's not just terror.
00:09:04.259 --> 00:09:28.856 How about they also, just to close with this, david, no-transcript for the Taliban's poppy fields, $50 million for condoms, $30 million which makes sense for HIV programs, but the misuse and efficiency of that $30 million is insane.
00:09:28.856 --> 00:09:30.019 It's fraud.
00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:30.725 It's fraud.
00:09:30.725 --> 00:09:57.576 The money isn't getting to the people and if you look at this list with nausea as I have, I'm just going to continue to laugh at the Democrats that have no more platform unless they knew about all this fraud, are encouraging the continuation of this fraud, or maybe they themselves have been paid off for these frauds.
00:09:59.187 --> 00:10:03.307 Well, I'm not going to go down the maybe I'm going to go down certainty and OK.
00:10:03.307 --> 00:10:13.388 And certainty to me is if you're yelling and you yell louder and you double down louder, which is what the Democrats are doing, you don't want, you're just trying to divert people's attention.
00:10:13.388 --> 00:10:24.817 You're just trying to divert people's attention and what we've seen, from the Chuck Schumers to the Maxine Waters to Congresswoman Presley and the rest of them, is the same message.
00:10:24.817 --> 00:10:30.181 Right, trump's the autocrat, elon Musk, is not elected.
00:10:30.181 --> 00:10:36.630 He has no right, nor was Fauci.
00:10:36.630 --> 00:10:47.581 But the point I'm trying to get at, stuart okay, is it's not about at all what doing the right thing, it's just divert, divert, divert.
00:10:47.581 --> 00:10:59.827 And the Democrats have learned nothing, and I think that I don't know if you, you know and I know they use their soapboxes, they go to the MSNBCs and the CNNs and they beg them to keep pushing the message of constitutional crisis.
00:10:59.827 --> 00:11:03.677 Okay, and, by the way, if you watch the clips, it's consistent.
00:11:03.677 --> 00:11:08.645 Every Democrat who was interviewed is saying the same thing we're in the middle of a constitutional crisis.
00:11:08.645 --> 00:11:12.715 Can you quote, by the way, which part of the constitution is the crisis?
00:11:12.715 --> 00:11:17.609 Absolutely not, but we'll throw a message out there because it has to resonate.
00:11:17.609 --> 00:11:22.054 We want to create noise because in November of 2026, we have another election.
00:11:22.054 --> 00:11:27.240 So let's go create noise so that for the midterm, people are saying Donald Trump is bad.
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:38.581 But you want to know what backfired and CNN brought it up In Donald Trump's first term he did not have this kind of positive rating.
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:39.085 His entire first term.
00:11:39.085 --> 00:11:43.634 There wasn't a single day that Donald Trump had this kind of positive reaction.
00:11:43.634 --> 00:11:49.519 Donald Trump has had nothing but positive reaction day in and day out since he's been elected.
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.707 Now I'm dead against what he's doing with the tariffs.
00:11:52.707 --> 00:11:55.453 I'm dead against how he is treating Canada.
00:11:55.453 --> 00:11:58.119 I'm dead against how he's negotiating on that end.
00:11:58.725 --> 00:12:12.284 But and I know that makes you smirk but what I'm amazed by is the billions of dollars that Donald Trump, elon Musk, have uncovered in just one department.
00:12:12.284 --> 00:12:16.876 And what's crazy is that you know what does this left do?
00:12:16.876 --> 00:12:20.235 But it's not the big amounts, david Stewart.
00:12:20.235 --> 00:12:22.133 It's not the big amounts.
00:12:22.133 --> 00:12:23.892 What are you guys focusing on that?
00:12:23.892 --> 00:12:26.494 We have trillions of dollars we have to spend.
00:12:26.494 --> 00:12:28.192 Why are you focusing on USAID?
00:12:29.586 --> 00:12:36.412 Because when it starts there, you're telling me we're not going to find this in the Department of Education, we're not going to find this in the FBI.
00:12:36.412 --> 00:12:37.173 We're not going to.
00:12:37.173 --> 00:12:45.288 I mean, pete Hexeth found it in the Department of Education.
00:12:45.288 --> 00:12:46.472 We're not going to find this in the FBI, we're not going to.
00:12:46.472 --> 00:12:48.038 I mean, pete Hexeth found it in the military, destroyed it, killed it, all right.
00:12:48.038 --> 00:12:48.840 You see this again and again and again.
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:56.817 We just saw what FEMA, what FEMA, four FEMA employees, what they've been paying out in millions of dollars in hotel for, in hotels, for, for, for illegal migrants.
00:12:56.817 --> 00:13:13.816 Stuart, when you see as much as 10 million used for an Al-Qaeda link group for meals, right, I mean we've got, you've got poor people in the streets of the United States, but we're going to send 10 million dollars to Afghanistan for meals.
00:13:13.816 --> 00:13:22.438 Ok, 15 million dollars in taxpayer funds to Taliban controlled Afghanistan to help distribute oral contraceptives and condoms.
00:13:22.438 --> 00:13:26.436 I'm like I am just done.
00:13:28.248 --> 00:13:30.514 I'm just trying to bring up David to add to your rant.
00:13:30.514 --> 00:13:36.296 Trump has fired the USAID inspector general, you know.
00:13:36.897 --> 00:13:37.337 And you know what?
00:13:37.337 --> 00:13:40.451 What is the Democrats doing?
00:13:40.451 --> 00:13:44.493 They're saying you can't shut down USAID Because USAID just said good things.
00:13:44.493 --> 00:13:48.416 And once again it's about divert.
00:13:48.416 --> 00:13:50.551 Let's divert the conversation.
00:13:50.551 --> 00:13:53.729 Let's not focus on the problem, let's divert.
00:13:53.729 --> 00:13:56.235 And the Democrats haven't learned that.
00:13:56.235 --> 00:13:58.407 The American people have said enough.
00:13:58.407 --> 00:14:01.715 Stop with the politics, fix the problem.
00:14:01.715 --> 00:14:18.235 You know you're seeing here billions of dollars of waste and instead of the Democrats coming to the table and saying let's fix the problem, they want to exacerbate the problem 400 executive orders.
00:14:18.966 --> 00:14:21.778 Stuart, but let me give you this one last thing.
00:14:21.778 --> 00:14:39.450 Okay, and this is why I know the Democrats are a mess, and I'll let you answer this one the Democrats should change the name from the Democratic Party to Hamas, because they're calling for jihad, they're calling for rebellion, they're calling for violence in the streets.
00:14:39.450 --> 00:14:41.414 That's what they've called for.
00:14:41.414 --> 00:15:01.332 That's when you know they're totally unhinged, that they totally don't get it, that when you call for this kind of rebellion, when you go in they went to the Department of Education, they demanded to be let in they have all these protests on the street.
00:15:01.332 --> 00:15:06.828 They've called for Pilgrim to flood the streets in a jihad-like way.
00:15:06.828 --> 00:15:11.157 You want to talk to me about why.
00:15:11.157 --> 00:15:12.785 No wonder they're funding the terrorists.
00:15:12.785 --> 00:15:15.091 They are getting their education from the terrorists.
00:15:16.874 --> 00:15:35.072 David, as I was trying to say and again, I know you're in Canada, david, I know that the tariff threat seems to be rather bold, but it's more reciprocal, trying to put everything back in line, and his tactics are, I guess, less than typical or atypical.
00:15:35.072 --> 00:15:44.397 But I will tell you this what has been going on with the 400 plus, if not more, executive orders that Obama signed?
00:15:44.397 --> 00:15:51.639 Where the Democrats were silent when Biden had a thrash of executive orders, the left was silent.
00:15:51.639 --> 00:16:10.548 It seems like again, as a parent watching a screaming child David over funny just screaming for no reason and just watching the child roll around and roll around until it tires out and then takes a whiff and says I love you and wants a hug.
00:16:10.548 --> 00:16:12.807 That's where the Democrat Party is.
00:16:12.807 --> 00:16:20.594 They are a baby, they are crying and I'm just literally all of this.
00:16:22.710 --> 00:16:26.214 Let's send out for a diaper change, shall we?
00:16:26.214 --> 00:16:31.195 Ladies and gentlemen, we'll wrap it up right over here.
