And I'm wearing it today because after yesterday's show, which went nuclear on the internet, exposing how the USAID deep state money laundering scandal was related to the collusion hoax, Spygate, the impeachment hoax, the whistleblower, I just want it out there. I am in no way suicidal.

We brought up a very simple point. Keep this in mind. Again, Bluff, bottom line up front. Donald Trump got elected in a shock election in 2016. Nobody saw it coming.
The swamp has been making money for years in places like Ukraine and elsewhere. Biden and all his cronies. Trump looks into it. Trump gets impeached over it. How does that relate to what's going on? Michael Schellenberger, I'm going to play it again today because it's relevant. An investigative reporter found out that the predicate
for the impeachment allegations against Donald Trump, because he was looking into Ukraine, may have had its genesis in USAID funding. I can't even describe to you the enormity of that. That you may have paid for regime change in the freaking United States. Bad enough we're doing it overseas. Trump exposed the Ukrainian piggy bank that Biden was profiting from.

Chapter 2: How is Elon Musk's DOGE involved in government investigations?
If USAID money was used to start up and gin up media propaganda that was then used to file a complaint against Donald Trump and get him impeached, it's a huge story. That explains this. Cue up that Elizabeth Warren thing. Elizabeth Warren, Pocahontas, fake Indian Elizabeth Warren.
is just one of many Democrats completely melting down and freaking out over Elon Musk, Doge, and Trump now looking into the payment systems of the United States government because they don't want you to know where the money is going.
They are panicking over you figuring out where your government is spending money because they don't want you to know it's being used, spent to censor you and to go against your electoral choices, especially if they're Donald Trump. Listen to Elizabeth Warren, you'll see what I mean.
Bless everybody who gets out there and makes a fortune. Bless everybody who gets up every day and goes to work. But understand the underpinnings of all that are something we all invested in. And now we've got Donald Trump and his co-president, Elon Musk, and they're just running a wrecking ball through it.
Chapter 3: How does USAID relate to Trump's impeachment?
Folks, she is speaking for the entire Democrat Party. Elon Musk was a hero for them when he built this electric car revolution they came to love. They turned on Elon Musk because his Doge programmers and his Doge geniuses are now inside the government for the first time in like forever looking at where your taxpayer dollars are being spent.
And now we find out that the collusion hoax, the Spygate thing, the impeachment hoax, and all of this may have been financed by some of the same payment systems Elon's looking into. Do you see why they're freaking out? Many of you picked up the book yesterday. I showed you my book. Follow the money on this. Like I said, get it from the library, whatever. I don't really care.
I have been covering this money trail for years. They don't want Elon covering it because he's got the world's biggest megaphone on Twitter. And you are going to find out that all of the anti-Trump scandals, ladies and gentlemen, are being run by the same people. The same people. I want to play this again.
I hate to do it to you two days in a row, but folks, if yesterday's show went crazy and I cannot let you go into the weekend without wrapping this baby up in a nice little gift wrap and putting it under your political Christmas tree, okay? Here was the segment that filled in a big piece of the puzzle to my follow the money investigation.
The money that's been used to attack you and Donald Trump forever. where the entire thing started. And it turns out Michael Shellenberger may have an answer. That USAID and your taxpayer dollars and payments may have been used to fund a media report that was actually propaganda used to get Donald Trump impeached as he started looking into Ukraine. Check this out.
You have this new piece on Substack. that the USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment?
Yeah, I mean, Jesse, it's a crazy story. I mean, you might forget that the House of Representatives impeached President Trump in December of 2019. Many people may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay. The person had not actually been in the room with Trump.
Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID.

Chapter 4: What role did USAID play in alleged media propaganda?
In fact, its initial founding funding, I mean, now it's tens of millions of dollars, had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a name that's not very memorable, OCCRP, but it was basically created as an extension of the State Department and then of USAID
And as you know, Jesse, this is very serious to be involved in an effort to do regime change at home, as we've been discovering as the files have come out with what Elon Musk has been doing. We know that USAID was really about regime change abroad. It was a kind of public facing part, you know, regime change operation like CIA, but not covert, more overt.
Well, now you see a similar blowback, just like they did censorship abroad and brought censorship tools back home. They were doing this sort of thing abroad, creating a predicate essentially for Trump's impeachment.
Folks, I had to play this again because this is such an insane story that explains everything that's gone on over basically the last 10 years, roughly. Donald Trump started entering around and sniffing around the presidential race in around 2015. And that's, by the way, my sources tell me that's roughly when the spying starts as well on Trump and a lot of the Republican candidates for president.
What my source calls many of the Pied Piper candidates. I gave you the list a long time ago with the people that my source alleges were spying on. It wasn't just Donald Trump. But this is now 10 years explained in one simple segment on the Jesse Waters show.
They are pissed off about Elon and USAID because they cannot have a paper trail of the regime change stuff they've been doing at home to destroy Donald Trump. And you paid for it. Some of you may have forgotten this. I played this on yesterday's radio show, but it's pivotal to put it together on a podcast where you can all put it together and see it, okay? Does this make sense now?
Schellenberger and Jesse Waters last night in that segment. Schellenberger's reporting. He's alleging that the whistleblower, which we believe is this guy, Eric Chiamarella, who is a Obama CIA holdover in the Trump national security team early in the White House, right?
He's indicating that he may have gotten his information from media reports funded by USAID, who was paying money to Politico and elsewhere and other outlets, right? Chia Morella, if you read my book, you'll note that he was working with Biden on the Ukraine portfolio, where Biden and his family are making a ton of money in Ukraine. Obama knows all of this. He's warned about it.
The media is desperately protecting Obama. They don't care about Biden. That's why they want to make this story go away. Badly. This is what was going on when Biden was the vice president. You remember these calls? This is how freaked out they were. They had to impeach Donald Trump when he calls Zelensky and starts asking questions about the Ukraine grift. And this is where USAID fits in.

Chapter 5: Why is there controversy surrounding Biden and Ukraine?
They had to shut this thing down. And that's where USAID came in. Check this out.
Let me ask you one thing before I forget. I understand the governor of the bank is tentative about setting a date certain for the transition to take place. And I'm being told secondhand, I don't know if this is her position for sure, that she is unsure of a date until she gets an agreement from you. I told, here's what I've told them.
I've told them to get back to her and set a date and I would talk to you about the date. because this is getting very, very close. What I don't want to have happen, I don't want Trump to get in the position where he thinks he's about to buy onto a policy where the financial system is going to collapse and he's going to be looked to to pour more money into Ukraine.
That's how he'll think about it before he gets sophisticated enough to know the detail. So anything you can do to push the Privat Bank to closure so that the IMF loan comes forward, I would respectfully suggest is critically important to your economic as well as physical security. I know it's difficult. I know Kolomorsky's a pain in the ass and a problem for everybody, but it really is critical.
Do you guys see what's going on here? We play this one first for a reason. Biden is basically threatening the Ukrainian president prior to Zelensky. Hey, man, your physical security could be at risk if you start if you don't shut this down right away. Notice what he's talking about. He's afraid Donald Trump is going to start looking into the money going to Ukraine.
That's what that whole thing is about. He's afraid of Privat Bank specifically, which is a bank alleged to be involved in the payments between Burisma and the Biden family through Hunter Biden. He doesn't want, very simply stated, he is terrified that Ukraine, Poroshenko is going to start asking President Trump for Ukrainian money.
President Trump and his team are going to start looking at the money that went over there and find what? Maybe that USAID funds were involved in the attacks on Donald Trump, the collusion hoax, and the other stuff. You get what's going on here? By the way, hat tip OANN, Chanel Rion for doing a great job on this, by the way. And others, that's where some of these clips are from.
Appropriate hat tips in order. It gets worse. Here is Biden again. I've got two more of these talking about, again, the prosecutor general and FBI investigations where he grows increasingly freaked out that people are going to start looking into all the people who are making money in Ukraine. Democrats and Republicans, by the way, him being one of them.
And he's terrified Trump is going to be the guy to shut this gravy train down and expose what's going on. Check this out.

Chapter 6: What is the significance of the transcripts involving Biden and Ukraine?
I wouldn't be surprised, by the way, if it turns out there's a USAID connection to that, too. Do you understand what your government has been doing in your name? Opening your border, actively terrorizing its citizens through censorship campaigns, funding operations around the world to get rid of Donald Trump and put his people in jail. I'm going to play one more. I'm going to take a break.
Here's one last one for you. Where the Ukrainian president prior to Zelensky, and by the way, Zelensky's never come clean on any of this. Zelensky knows what's happening here. The Russia-Ukraine war is a different matter. I'm just telling you, Zelensky could have shut this down, this impeachment hoax, right away by telling people about this. And he didn't. He knows about this.
Here's Biden starting to freak out because the Ukrainian president prior to Zelensky is worried about the FBI looking into this stuff. But Biden assures you, don't worry. The FBI, we got that taken care of. Winky, winky, nod, nod. Check this out.
If it is true that the FBI is working with him, at least I want to know that.
No, no, they are not. I told you the FBI concluded he had nothing and they stopped. That was it. There's no reason to talk to him again. Okay. We'll check that and confirm that with you.
Now, again, here it is. Follow the money, folks. If you read the Insane in Ukraine chapter, in the beginning, you'll find out there's a whole other story about what the FBI was doing with a Soros group in Ukraine to make sure all this stuff went away. All of this stuff is documented in the book.
There's an FBI agent who later went on to work with a Soros affiliated group that was trying to push a do not prosecute list to cover all this stuff up. And they went after Giuliani when he exposed it. They freaked out to make sure nobody would find out about the Ukraine piggy bank they were all profiting off of. You don't think freaking Putin knew about this whole thing?
You don't think it's a little bit odd that Putin waits for Trump to leave office to invade Russia, knowing he's got all of this material on Biden and all the people who made money in Ukraine? You don't think that's weird? What do they say in New York? I'm not saying, I'm just saying. Folks, they were in a panic over this USAID story because your money has financed a lot of this. What a scam.
I got more on this coming up next, including now the federal judges getting involved trying to shut this down. This is how freaked out they are about this whole thing. Hey, if you're a gun owner who thinks the battle's over because Trump won, think again. The threats haven't disappeared. They're merely evolved.

Chapter 7: How do federal judges play into the USAID scandal?
They are at the point now. where unbelievably left-wing organizations are actually ratting out the United States government to basically terror groups like TDA gangs to make sure they don't get arrested. This was the border patrol chief on Fox talking about this. I can't even tell you how much control of our government we have completely lost. Thankfully, two weeks ago, this changed.
But the mess we have to clean up is near apocalyptic. Check this out.
Talk about these latest numbers that you have and how you guys have been able to get it done, Chief.
So look, the U.S. Border Patrol, we know how to get the job done. We know how to secure the border. All we needed was a president that was going to empower us, a strong leader like President Trump, and then a secretary like Secretary Noem that knows exactly what we need to do to secure the border. We're seeing almost a 90% decrease in illegal entries worldwide.
since january the 21st not only that but our criminal prosecutions of those we're apprehending is up almost 52 percent um you talked about you know you let in with the trend our u.s border patrol board tech unit is out there with ice making those arrests and so look border patrol knows how to secure the border all we needed was an administration that would let us enforce the law and and we're out there and we are seeing phenomenal gains on the border
I have to distill this down to two big important things. The reason these stories are running after each other is for a reason. Everything the corrupt progressive wing of the Democrat Party has done has been done to intentionally destroy the United States. This is not a freaking accident.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of USAID's actions on international politics?
They figured out a long time ago if they can hide the money trail, they can steal your money, use government money, trillions of dollars of government money, That's what our budget is, $7 trillion. Take a chunk of it, spend it on anti-American activities. They are literally spending your money to destroy your country.
They are also flushing it to non-governmental organizations that are not just doing things like attacking Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani and paying for media propaganda that used to impeach him, but they're being paid to religious groups and other groups out there to open our borders so we're invaded. This is the craziest thing.
It's like, if you read about in a history book about the Roman empire, you'd be like, they paid people to invade their country. That's what we're doing. And then when the invasion happens and gang members get in the country, the left has to protect the gang members, just like they have to protect the corrupt money running that was going scandal was going on in Ukraine.
And they warned them, Hey, ice is coming. ABC News, ICE carries out a raid in Colorado. 100 members of a Venezuelan gang targeted for arrest. Targeted for arrest? I say targeted because we didn't get a lot of them. Because left-wing media goons and others and other groups out there made sure they got away. Listen to Tom Holman, our borders are on this.
Again, if this doesn't piss you off, how corrupt our government has been. This is why we need Rock'em Sock'em robots for the next two years. There's no time, folks. We have so many messes to clean up. The left has tried. This is intentional. They're not destroying the country by accident. Watch this.
So many questions. First of all, if they're shouting and helping these people get away with bullhorns, how is that legal to get help from the people in the streets? I know they can protest, but that's not what they're doing.
You're exactly right. When they come to the, they cross the line of impediment, and that's why I'm working very close, starting this morning with Department of Justice, and where do they cross that line of impediment? So they may find themselves in a pair of handcuffs very soon. So working with DOJ on that, get some legal guidance on that. I'm not an attorney. I know what SecOps is about.
I know what crossing that line is, but getting DOJ back up on that. So it's something we're looking at right now, Harris. We're not going to tolerate it anymore.
This is how it's done when you F-A and you have to F-O. Holman understands, the left understands nothing other than the old Michael Anton line, real material losses. Listen to me. If you do not impose... Real material losses on the left, they will change none of their behavior.
