Chapter 1: How is Ivanka Trump being humiliated by her father?
Yeah. Yeah, that was an interview between Kanye West and Tucker Carlson from 2018. It's resurfacing now because Kanye went back on Twitter, or I guess it's now called X, and started implying that he had certain relations with Ivanka. And this is as seems like Donald Trump is just kind of constantly humiliating Ivanka. The thing to know about Ivanka is she was a major player in USAID.
And that's what Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been attacking over and over again. The irony, if you want to call it that, is Donald Trump and Elon Musk and MAGA spread all of these lies saying that Ben Stiller and all of these entertainers got millions of dollars visiting Ukraine and for doing all of these things, which is quite literally Russian propaganda disinformation.
Chapter 2: What are the accusations against USAID and its initiatives?
There is zero truth to it. It is quite literally all lies. When Ivanka was working in the first Trump administration, or I wouldn't say working, whatever the heck she was doing, initiatives related to her got paid about $250 to $300 million. She was pushing a USAID Women's Empowerment Initiative.
where they would launch these initiatives in Africa and across the world, and it was a major part of her priorities. Now, it should also be noted that she and Jared Kushner made about $650 million personally, and that doesn't include the $2 billion that Jared Kushner got for his own fund by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund,
Chapter 3: How did Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner benefit financially during the Trump administration?
After he left office, remember, during January 6, Kushner was negotiating his own personal deals in the Middle East at that time. But this was a major part of what Ivanka was doing. And now Donald Trump, Elon Musk are basically calling the main initiative that Ivanka was part of. a total fraud.
And they are also now saying all these other celebrities were getting paid when that literally probably came from Russia. It's like 100% false. Here are just some photos of Ivanka showing what USAID actually does. Wheelchairs for sick kids, work for vulnerable women. If you actually go through the USAID records, you'll see that a lot of money was spent for her initiatives.
And you can make this stuff up, folks. Back in 2019, Ivanka Trump loved USAID. Here it is right here. Here's a video of one of her initiatives. Let's play it. As you can take a look at the spending, $265 million from USAID to Ivanka's causes. USAID helped fund Melania Trump's Be Best program and Ivanka Trump's Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative during the first Trump term.
And each woman traveled with the agency on separate trips to Africa where they praised the investments it was making on the continent. Ivanka Trump traveled with the then USAID administrator Mark Green to Africa. in April 2019, where they met with women entrepreneurs in Ethiopia and rural cocoa farmers on the Ivory Coast.
Chapter 4: What role did USAID play in Ivanka Trump's initiatives?
USAID oversaw get this $265 million per year in spending Ivanka Trump's Women's Business Initiative and an associated anti-poverty program. Just so you see it one more time, and don't worry, I'm going to connect the dots with Kanye, his posts, and all of the, I think, kind of Ivanka humiliation that Donald Trump is initiating.
But here is Ivanka promoting the work of USAID to uplift women around the world. Here, play this clip.
1.7 billion women in low and middle income countries still do not own mobile phones. And the gap between men and women with access to the Internet continues to widen.
Boosting women's empowerment is one of our agency's very highest priorities. We believe it's the right thing to do, because equal opportunity is of fundamental American value. But it's also, from a development perspective, the smart thing to do. Investing in women and girls accelerates development outcomes in health, food security, conflict prevention. The list really goes on and on.
Closing the digital divide helps to unlock billions of dollars in global GDP. Everyone is better off.
Together, on International Women's Day, we are able to highlight women's incredible contributions and launch new initiatives to empower women globally. USAID's newest venture, Women's Connect, takes an innovative approach to bridging.
So it's interesting that that's the main first agency that they're going after. And they seem to be going after a lot of the types of programs that she was involved in or was related to. All right.

Chapter 5: What are Kanye West's recent claims about Ivanka Trump?
So then Kanye goes back on Twitter, now X. Remember when the MAGA Republican Judiciary GOP account, like the official judiciary account for all of the GOP in the House of Representatives, they went Kanye, Elon, Trump, right? Like Kanye was like the hero. of the GOP.
So he goes back on X, he's been off for a little bit or back on Twitter, whatever you call it, and says, George Farmer, I did not F your wife, rest easy. Jared Kushner on the other hand. So the timing of all of this is, you know, I just think very interesting.
You may have seen the report I did yesterday where Elon Musk seemed to be bringing up Jeffrey Epstein a lot, showed a video of Donald Trump's attorney general. saying that, well, Trump's connection with Epstein was not as much as Clinton's, which, by the way, I think is personally false. But you had Elon bringing that up. Also, Elon amplifying posts about how the Epstein file should be released.
Chapter 6: How are Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein connected in recent discussions?
And Dick Durbin, Democratic senator, was calling for them to be released. By the way, I thought Trump was going to release them. Didn't he say that was one of his campaign promises? All Donald Trump's campaign promises are total lies. Prices are not getting lower. Housing is not more affordable. Inflation is not going down.
The jobs report recently was weaker than expected in Trump's first month in office. And there has not been peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. America's weaker. The world is less stable. But now let's take a look at some of these things, though, because we've been digging back up some of these posts from 2018, 2019. Remember when MAGA Republican influencer Benny Johnson posted this?
Get you someone who looks at you the way Ivanka looks at Kanye. Well, hmm. How about this post? Did Jared Kushner already know? Take a look at some of these posts with Kanye hanging out with Ivanka. How about this headline from Bustle in April of 2018? These theories about why Ivanka keeps following and unfollowing Kanye are absolutely wild. Or how about this?
The hug between Ivanka and Kanye West in the Oval Office. How about this? Trump, Kanye West, and Ivanka at Trump Tower in 2016. Let me just play for you now that little bit longer clip, about 23 seconds of that Tucker Carlson and Kanye interview. Here, play this clip.
I keep telling this joke. If people say Trump was the first black president, I'm going to be the first Latino president because all the values, the conservative values just line up. Come on, man. Trump's the shit. What do you mean? He has his own buildings. What are we talking about? He's like Ralph Lauren. He made Ivanka. You like Ivanka?
