Defunding the Globalist American Empire ...

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

Ponchos in Guatemala? Phantom power plants in Haiti? Opium in Afghanistan? U.S. taxpayers have been funding one travesty after another under a little-known umbrella agency called USAID. Jonathan Keeperman, aka "Lomez," explains why defunding USAID is an urgent necessity for defanging global wokeness and the American "intelligence community." He also reacts to the vicious doxing of young men involved in Elon Musk's DOGE operation. Plus, former Anheuser-Busch executive Anson Frericks tells the story of how Bud Light ruined its brand trying to impress the left.
