Charlie Kirk Exposes USAID Funding Schemes: Transgender Operas, DEI Musicals, and the Global American Empire
Charlie Kirk and Jonathan keeperman, founder of Passage Press, break down the shocking spending patterns of USAID that prioritize international woke ideology over American interests. From $20 million producing Sesame Street in Iraq to promote LGBT agendas, to $47,000 for transgender operas in Colombia, the conversation reveals how US tax dollars fund projects completely disconnected from American needs. Kirk and keeperman argue that USAID operates as an arm of the globalist establishment, spreading what they call "international wokeism" while American communities struggle with floods and fires. They also discuss the ongoing attacks against young DOGE employees who are working to make government more efficient, highlighting a generational shift in federal leadership.
Charlie Kirk opens with a striking claim: USAID functions as the ATM machine of the Central Intelligence Agency and the funding mechanism of the deep state. He presents a litany of shocking expenditures that raise questions about priorities and accountability.
The list of spending includes $1.5 million to promote DEI in Serbia, $7,000 for a DEI musical production in Ireland, $47,000 on a transgender opera in Colombia, and $32,000 on a transgender comic in Peru. Perhaps most staggering is the $20 million spent to produce Sesame Street in Iraq to promote an LGBT agenda.
Additional questionable expenditures include $2 million for sex reassignment surgery in Guatemala, $27 million for gift bags for deportees in Central America, and hundreds of millions of dollars for irrigation and agriculture in Afghanistan that were ultimately used to increase opium supply. Kirk also points to $1.1 billion allocated to build a port and power plant in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, a project promoted by Bill Clinton, where nothing was actually built. Another $74 million evaporated in 2006 under the title of promoting democracy in Cuba.
Kirk emphasizes that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Should USAID Continue to Exist?
Jonathan keeperman, founder of Passage Press and known online as Lomez, joins the conversation to address whether USAID should continue to exist. His answer is straightforward: no, at least not in its current form.
Keeperman argues that USAID represents a perfect microcosm of both the stupidity and malice of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who run the State Department. These officials use American tax dollars—money that should help American people and support American interests—to spread what he calls "international wokeism" for the benefit of their own pockets and interests, which are entirely divorced from the interests of the American people.
He expresses gratitude that Marco Rubio at the State Department has taken control and is working to make transparent some of the funding schemes. What was previously opaque about this funding and waste is now open for everyone to see.
A Deep Dive Into USAID Spending
Keeperman directs viewers to a tool created by Data Republican at datarepublican.com, where anyone can search USAID grants themselves. He provides a specific example: $30 million going to an organization called Creative Associates International, which funds women in the Guatemalan Highlands to stitch their own ponchos and also funds vague community organizing efforts in Burkina Faso.
He challenges anyone to explain why that money spent on ponchos in the Guatemalan Highlands is more appropriate than spending it to fix the floods in North Carolina or the fires that devastated California.
The Global American Empire and Soft Power
Kirk asks Keeperman to address the nefarious activity and how this money is used in parallel with the goals of American intelligence agencies.
Keeperman explains that this requires a deep dive into the history of the State Department and globalist policies. He references what Darren Beattie, now at the Department of State, has called the "Global American Empire"—an offshoot of the neocons going back to the Iraq War and the idea that America could spread democracy across the world by force.
When it turned out that marching an army into places like Iraq or Afghanistan couldn't turn them into liberal democracies, the strategy transmogrified. Now soft power and the ideology of wokeness are used to impose the interests of the Global American Empire on the rest of the world. This is represented in LGBTQI+ initiatives, environmental justice, and terms like "Latinx politics" that appear throughout USAID grant searches.
Josh Howton, a Twitter account Keeperman references, found that Christian organizations and religious organizations around the world have this money dangled over their heads. They only get access to funding if they accept leftist activist views on LGBT and trans issues. Otherwise, the money disappears. It's a way to force this ideology onto the rest of the world.
Making a Desert and Calling It Peace
Keeperman offers a historical parallel, quoting Tacitus, who wrote about the Roman Empire. A leader of the Britons, describing the devastation of the Roman Imperial Army, said: "They make a desert and they call it peace."
Something similar could be said about the Global American Empire, according to Keeperman: "We raise a pride flag and we call it peace." This is otherwise known as the GAE—the Global American Empire, which just by coincidence shares the acronym.
Kirk reinforces the point: when defenders of USAID say they're sending American values abroad, people might imagine pocket Constitutions being distributed to Aboriginal tribes in Australia, teaching them about Thomas Jefferson. But that's not what's happening. Instead, gender transition clinics are being sent to Sri Lanka, gay pride flags to Thailand. The worst and lowest aspects of the radical trans agenda are being exported. The poor people of Sudan aren't learning about the Founding Fathers—they're being subjected to the Evangelistic component of the Great American modern Empire, whose state-run religion is LGBTQ ideology and "diversity is our strength."
Globalist vs. America First Foreign Policy
Keeperman summarizes the divide: there is the ideology of the Global American Empire—what we broadly call globalism—and then there is a nationalist America First foreign policy. USAID has been operating on globalist foreign policy ideology for decades. Now, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and other patriots in charge of the government are reasserting a foreign policy that prefers and supports the interests of the American people over the rest of the world. Part of this involves revising how money is spent and returning that money to the American people.
Death Threats Against Young DOGE Employees
Kirk shifts to discuss what he calls an "ugly crusade" targeting young engineers that Elon Musk has brought into government. These young prodigies are working for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and they are now receiving death threats.
Kirk notes the irony: people constantly ask why the best people don't want to go into government. Now the smartest whiz kids on the planet are working to make government more efficient, and left-wingers are saying they want to murder them online—no exaggeration. The worst people in government are outraged about it.
Kirk plays a clip of Ilhan Omar, whom he refers to as "the ingrate," speaking about the constitutional crisis she believes America is facing. Omar claims the country is witnessing the beginning of dictatorship, with Trump installing himself as the sole power. Kirk quips that it's good she's addressing cameras in English for a change and suggests that Kristi Noem should investigate the allegations about Omar's brother, as the statute of limitations has not expired.
Who Are These Young Prodigies?
Kirk explains that DOGE is a special government employee project created by President Trump. The Department of Government Efficiency—who could be against that? Yet every little gremlin of the regime is against it.
Elon Musk has brought in his all-stars: kids aged 19, 20, and 21 years old. These are the best the country has to offer, with IQs that will melt the charts. Kirk met one of them and could immediately tell how smart and switched on he was.
As an example, Luke Farritor, one of these young employees, won a $700,000 prize for figuring out how to use artificial intelligence to decipher ancient scrolls buried in the Roman city of Pompeii. He dropped out of the University of Nebraska to take up a Thiel Fellowship, which pays talented people a six-figure sum to drop out of college. Kirk himself applied for the Thiel Fellowship years ago and didn't get it—a good thing, he jokes.
Threats, Doxing, and Antifa Mobilization
In response to the fact that these young prodigies are working on government efficiency, they are now receiving death threats to their homes. Their personal addresses are being leaked, and there is fantasizing throughout left-wing Twitter (now called Bluesky) about hunting them down. One post says "Luigi intensifies," a direct threat referencing the United Healthcare killer named Luigi.
Their personal information and addresses are being made public, and Antifa—what Kirk calls the paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party—has been mobilized to go after these 19, 20, and 21-year-olds. What are they doing? Simply trying to make government more efficient and find duplicate costs and savings.
The Perfect Embodiment of Meritocracy
Keeperman responds that this is typical of what we see from the left. These kids are the perfect embodiment of meritocracy—they are the best. These are the people we want running our systems and government. We don't want to scare them away from public service. If we're going to fix the country, we need these kids, their brainpower, and their talents.
So why is the left so angry? First, they're out of ideas. They can't argue against the kinds of things these kids are doing. They know there's waste, but they don't want to admit it. So what do they do? They threaten, they ostracize—they're like cornered animals gnashing their teeth. Keeperman thinks it's largely impotent, although they do want to do damage and prevent these kids from getting jobs in the future. The right must protect these people and make sure when they leave government, they have a place to land on their feet.
The Vibe Shift: Young Talent Moving Right
The other thing happening, according to Keeperman, is that for a long time the left felt entitled to young talent. The left always assumed bright young people would join their side. But there's been a vibe shift—it's palpable. Kids like this don't want to join the left. They don't want to engage in woke ideology that has probably made them suffer quite a bit over the course of their young lives. Now they are on the right, doing what conservatives want them to do. The left is afraid of this massive shift, but it's too late—it's already happened.
Another reason for leftist anger: these kids are sorting through all the waste in government and getting rid of it. The left feels entitled to that money. Suddenly these whiz kids come along and are going to turn off the spigot. They're angry for many reasons and are impotently lashing out at these kids. Keeperman thinks it's beautiful what these kids are doing and emphasizes the need to support them at all costs.
A Generational Takeover of the Federal Government
Kirk broadens the discussion: this is a mass movement. Karoline Leavitt is 27. These DOGE employees are 19, 20, 23 years old. This is a generational takeover. There's incredible senior staff: Sergio Gor, JD Vance as VP who's young, Stephen Miller who's in his 30s.
This is the untold story of the administration because the media doesn't cover it. This is a Gen Z and Millennial takeover of the federal government. Everyone thought it would come from the left, but instead it's the geriatric, nursing-home regime that has been glide-pathing the country into oblivion. Now the young guns are taking over the country for the better, defending the president, authoring executive orders, and putting them on his desk.
