00:00It's been brought to light.
00:02The fraud, not just waste and abuse, the fraud has been incredible.
00:07You mentioned one, Madam Secretary.
00:09Well, yes, sir.
00:10Well, let me just add to that, and thank you.
00:13We just had a wonderful Cabinet meeting, all aligned on certainly the effort to realign
00:18the government.
00:19But even at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we've canceled a $300,000 contract educating
00:24on food justice for queer and transgender farmers in San Francisco.
00:29A similar contract we canceled in New York, again, educating transgender and queer farmers
00:35on food justice and food equality.
00:37I'm not even sure what that means, but apparently the last administration wanted to put our
00:42taxpayer dollars towards that.
00:44We canceled a $600,000 contract out of Louisiana that was studying the menstrual cycles of
00:50transgender men, a $600,000 contract.
00:53We canceled another contract out of a university in the middle of the country that focused
00:58on getting more diversity, equity, and inclusion into our pest management industry.
01:04Again, these are nonsensical.
01:06It makes zero sense to use taxpayer dollars to fund these.
01:09I know these are just a few examples of the hundreds and hundreds that we have found.
