I'm here in Washington DC as senior advisor at United States Agency for Global Media.

I'm working on behalf of you and President Trump and his administration.

And I have been on the job for a couple of weeks now and I'm horrified by some of the things I'm learning about this agency.

I'm sitting here on the 13th floor of a shiny, brand new, beautiful skyscraper building that is costing you the taxpayer a fortune.

The Biden administration folks who were running this agency before, right before they left office signed a brand new lease for this building.

A 15-year lease that's going to cost the taxpayer nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.

Here's the here's the kicker, they already have a building that they're located in that is paid off that they could have renovated or updated.

But they chose instead to get us into a lease that's costing the taxpayer a fortune.

I know that every one of you out there is working hard and parting with your tax dollars, you're expecting it to be used wisely, not misused and mismanaged.

And I can tell you that this building is a colossal waste of money.

Take a look at what's in this building, fancy conference rooms with wall-to-wall windows, there's 26 conference rooms at least, that's what I've counted in this building.

There are four bridges to nowhere, massive waterfalls.

Italian marble finishes everywhere, leather furnishings.

All of this being paid for by the American taxpayer.

And it's not the only thing we've seen, we are seeing grants where they've taken the grants and they've changed the contracts just days before we got in here to make it less transparent.

For us to find out where the money's going and what's happening with these grantees, it was an obvious, obvious sign that they wanted to keep us from finding out anything.

That we could possibly go in and change and make better for the American taxpayer.

And we're going to make sure we're doing everything we can to cancel contracts that can be canceled, save money, downsize and make sure there's no misuse of your dollars.
