During an appearance on the ‘All In’ podcast this week, David Sacks, Trump’s ‘crypto-czar’ talked about the exposure of USAID by DOGE and why it’s causing so much anxiety for the establishment in Washington, DC.
Sacks points out that it’s a giant scam, which awards a ton of money to all of these people and their favored media outlets.
He questions how much of this cash was used to create artificial support for progressive policies in the form of Astroturf.
Partial transcript via Kanekoa the Great on Twitter/X:
“We’re in debt almost $40 trillion, and anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. The question is, why? Well, now we know. The money is all going to them.”
“New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid. Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID.”
“In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded by USAID. BBC in the U.K. Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which distributes $50 billion a year. That’s a billion dollars a week. That’s a lot of money.”
“It makes you wonder. The left, in general, tries to portray itself as a movement of the people. That it’s grassroots, this is the exact opposite. This is astroturf. This money is coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups all over the world. So it makes you wonder, what is the real level of local support for these left-wing policies all over the world?”

This is only the beginning. More of this shameful spending will come to light because of DOGE and the left will continue to melt down but it won’t matter. The jig is up.
