Marco Rubio Dismantles USAID: 15,000 Employees on Administrative Leave in America First Revolution

February 4, 2025

Charlie Kirk exposes USAID as a deep state slush fund that funnels tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign dictators, oligarchs, and questionable programs worldwide. With Marco Rubio now acting director of USAID while serving as Secretary of State, 15,000 employees have been placed on administrative leave in a dramatic restructuring. Kirk argues this marks a fundamental shift in American foreign policy, ending decades of the United States serving as the world's ATM machine and refocusing resources on American interests and the homeland instead of funding gender programs in Asia, color revolutions abroad, and corrupt foreign regimes.

What Is USAID and Why Should Americans Care?

USAID stands for the United States Agency for International Development, a government agency that most Americans rarely hear about or think about. Part of the America First agenda involves examining the finances of our government and asking fundamental questions: Why are we spending money on this? Is this a good idea? Why are we doing this?

USAID operates as a grift. The amount of money spent on USAID is shocking to most people—we're talking about tens of billions of dollars, at least $50 billion that we know of. When you dive into examination of the money, you discover funding for hit pieces on our own citizens, programs promoting LGBTQIA+ initiatives in Asia under the banner "being gay in Asia," and wire transfers to foreign dictators and oligarchs who use American taxpayer dollars to buy $100,000 Hermes and Chanel purses.

Marco Rubio Takes Charge: 15,000 USAID Employees on Administrative Leave

President Trump is fulfilling his mandate with the help of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio. In a dramatic move, 15,000 USAID employees have been put on administrative leave—sent to work from home as a precursor to potential termination. This represents a direct assault on what many consider a deep state slush fund.

Marco Rubio has been performing at a ten out of ten level. Over the past six months, he's been delivering results every single day—new country visits including El Salvador and Panama. As Secretary of State, he's now also the acting director of USAID, a dual role that signals the complete restructuring of American foreign aid policy.

Many people think USAID helps countries in need, but that's malarkey, rubbish. If you want to help a country, donate to Samaritan's Purse or other private charities. USAID functions as a deep state slush fund to make foreign tinpot dictators rich, to enrich people like Zelenskyy and his oligarch friends, to get us involved in foreign wars, and to undermine foreign governments through so-called humanitarian aid. This strikes at the heart of the globalist international empire.

Marco Rubio on Realigning USAID with American Interests

Rubio's frustration with USAID goes back to his time in Congress. It's a completely unresponsive agency that's supposed to respond to policy directives of the State Department but refuses to do so. Many functions of USAID will continue and remain part of American foreign policy, but they must be aligned with American foreign policy moving forward.

Rubio made it clear during his confirmation hearing that every dollar we spend and every program we fund will be aligned with the national interest of the United States. This represents a fundamental shift from decades of unaccountable spending on programs that serve everyone except Americans.

The Constitutional Collision: The Impoundment Act and Executive Power

A constitutional collision point is approaching like a freight train, centered around the Impoundment Act. The fundamental question: Does the executive branch have to spend everything that Congress has appropriated? If your answer is yes, then you don't believe in equal branches—you believe in Article One supremacy, in legislative supremacy.

The founders wanted equal branches that are constantly bickering with one another. They did not want a superseding legislative branch. If we're honest with ourselves, we have a supremacist Article One, an Article Four-ish branch that has emerged, and Article Two—the executive branch—has become weak, feeble, and basically performative. President Trump is bringing it back to the vim and vigor that the founders envisioned.

USAID's Questionable Activities: From Fake Twitter to Color Revolutions

Did you know that we created a fake Twitter knockoff to promote subversion in Cuba? Should we overthrow the Cuban Communists? Maybe, but we shouldn't do it through a fake humanitarian aid organization that isn't accountable.

USAID has an entire division funding LGBTQIA+ programs in Asia. The worst people in DC hold little meetings asking, "Can we do $30 million for gender in Senegal?" Then much of it gets rerouted back to friendly contractors and organizations that are part of the racket.

Has USAID been subsidizing color revolutions internationally? Was USAID involved in the Maidan Revolution which led to Zelenskyy and then the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Was USAID involved in all of the money in Afghanistan? Yes. Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars sent to every little corner of the planet unnecessarily.

Repositioning American Foreign Policy: What's Best for America?

The fundamental issue when repositioning American foreign policy is simple: What is in the best interest of America? What is in the best interest of the homeland? What is in the best interest of the United States of America?

For far too long, we have been the ATM machine of the entire planet, the piggy bank of the entire world. The nation block of Western nations, including even our neighbors, have been taking advantage of American labor for the last 50 or 60 years. USAID is just one example of that.

USAID claims to fund global health and economic development, education and gender equality, and humanitarian assistance. But Americans have big hearts, and so no one ever wants to go after USAID. That changes now.

The America First Foreign Aid Policy

Here's an interesting question: How many other countries send aid to America? Because East Palestine could use some aid. Beverly Hills and the Palisades could use some aid. North Carolina could use some aid. So we're the piggy bank of the world?

It ends. We're no longer the dumping ground. We're no longer the ATM. We are no longer going to finance all these abstractions. President Donald Trump is not just running on the idea of America First—he's implementing it. Why are we sending money all across the world on these little silly projects? Cut it all off. Reexamine it. Does it help the country? Does it help the homeland?

America First is here, and this is what it looks like. We won.

[00:00] what is US

[00:04] Aid us Aid is not a government agency

[00:07] that you'd be talking about very much

[00:09] stands for the United States agency for

[00:12] International

[00:13] Development you see part of the whole

[00:15] idea of America First is examining the

[00:17] finances of our government and asking

[00:19] very simple fundamental questions why

[00:21] are we spending money on this is this a

[00:24] good idea why are we doing

[00:28] this USA ID is a

[00:32] grift it is a

[00:35] grift the amount of money that we spend

[00:39] on USA

[00:41] ID is

[00:43] shocking shocking to most

[00:46] people we are talking about tens of

[00:49] billions of dollars at least $50 billion

[00:52] dos that we know of and when you dive

[00:55] into some of the examination of the

[00:57] money we're talking about funding hit

[01:00] pieces on our own

[01:01] citizens today there is some major and

[01:04] massive breaking news of President Trump

[01:06] fulfilling the Mandate president Trump

[01:08] going all in with the help of Elon Musk

[01:10] and Marco Rubio

[01:12] boom 15,000 people being put on

[01:15] administrative

[01:17] leave sorry you can go work from home

[01:20] now that is the precursor to potentially

[01:22] being able to terminate them this is a

[01:25] deep State slush fund

[01:30] there was an entire division of USA

[01:32] funding

[01:33] lgbtqia a plus programs in Asia being

[01:38] gay in Asia is what your taxpayer

[01:40] dollars were

[01:41] funding and I got a brag by someone in

[01:44] the administration right now someone

[01:46] who's been a 10 someone who's been a 10

[01:49] is Marco Rubio Marco Rubio has been a 10

[01:51] out of

[01:53] 10 I've known Marco for a while we

[01:56] really got to know each other last six

[01:57] months he's come on the show spent time

[01:59] with went to Greenland with his chief of

[02:01] staff Mike NM and Marco has been boom

[02:04] every day new country today El Salvador

[02:07] other day Panama he's now the acting

[02:10] director of usaid now you might think oh

[02:12] usaid it helps all these countries it's

[02:14] a bunch of malarkey BS boulder dash

[02:18] rubbish you want to go help a country go

[02:20] donate to Samaritan's Purse go donate to

[02:23] private Charities this is a deep State

[02:25] slush fund to make foreign tinpot

[02:29] dictators rich to make zalinsky and his

[02:31] oligarch friends be able to buy

[02:36] $100,000 of

[02:38] Hermes and Chanel

[02:41] purses this is nothing more than wire

[02:44] transfers to the worst ugliest people on

[02:46] the planet or to get us involved in

[02:49] Foreign Wars we do humanitarian Aid to

[02:53] undermine foreign governments this is a

[02:55] this is going at the heart of the matter

[02:57] of the globalist international Empire

[03:00] and now 15,000 people are now put on

[03:02] administrative leave there is this

[03:05] coming

[03:06] constitutional Collision point and it's

[03:09] all around the impoundment ACT it's it's

[03:11] coming like a freight train does the

[03:14] executive branch have to spend

[03:16] everything that Congress has

[03:18] appropriated and if your answer is yes

[03:20] then you don't believe in equal branches

[03:22] you believe in article one Supremacy you

[03:25] believe in legislative Supremacy the

[03:27] founders wanted equal branches that are

[03:29] const bickering with one another they

[03:31] did not want to have a superseding

[03:32] legislative branch and if we're honest

[03:34] with ourselves we have a supremacist

[03:38] article one and then we have this

[03:40] article like fourth branch government

[03:42] that comes together and this article two

[03:45] is basically the executive branch has

[03:47] become this weak feeble basically

[03:50] performative branch and president Trump

[03:52] is bringing it back to the vim and vigor

[03:53] that the founders envisioned so the the

[03:57] the fundamental issue here when it comes

[03:59] comes to

[04:01] repositioning American foreign policy is

[04:05] what is in the best interest of America

[04:08] what is in the best interest of the

[04:09] Homeland what is in the best interest of

[04:11] the United States of

[04:13] America for far too long we have been

[04:16] the ATM machine of the entire planet we

[04:19] have been the piggy bank of the entire

[04:23] world you

[04:25] see

[04:27] the nation block

[04:30] of Western Nations including even our

[04:32] our neighbors have

[04:35] been taking advantage of American

[04:39] labor for the last 50 or 60

[04:44] years USA just one example of that they

[04:48] say that they want to fund Global health

[04:51] and economic development education and

[04:54] gender equality humanitarian

[04:56] assistance this is the new acting

[04:59] director of USA ID who's also your

[05:01] secretary of state he's been a 10 Marco

[05:04] Rubio play Cut

[05:06] 45 well look I mean my frustration with

[05:08] USA goes back to my time in Congress

[05:10] it's a completely unresponsive agency

[05:13] it's supposed to respond to policy

[05:16] directives of the state department and

[05:18] it refuses to do so so the functions of

[05:21] usaid there are a lot of functions of

[05:23] USA ID that are going to continue that

[05:24] are going to be part of American foreign

[05:26] policy but it has to be aligned with

[05:28] American foreign policy I said very

[05:29] clearly when we when I during my

[05:32] confirmation hearing that every dollar

[05:34] we spend and every program we fund that

[05:36] Pro will be aligned with the national

[05:38] interest of the United States did you

[05:40] know that we created a fake Twitter

[05:42] knockoff to promote subversion in Cuba

[05:45] should we overthrow the Cuba Communists

[05:47] maybe we shouldn't do it through a fake

[05:49] humanitarian Aid organization that isn't

[05:52] accountable president Donald Trump is

[05:54] not just running on the idea of America

[05:56] First why are we sending money all

[05:58] across the world World on these little

[06:01] silly projects cut it all

[06:04] off reexamine it does it help the

[06:06] country does it help the

[06:09] Homeland and usaid oh all the worst

[06:12] people in DC go and they'll have little

[06:13] meetings can we do $30 million for

[06:16] gender in

[06:17] Sagal and then a lot of it gets rerouted

[06:20] back to Friendly

[06:22] contractors and organizations that are

[06:26] part of the racket you have to wonder

[06:28] has USA been subsidizing color

[06:30] revolutions internationally was usaid
