Fox News host Jesse Watters took aim at the Biden administration during a recent segment of Fox News Primetime, calling out what he described as massive waste and corruption in the handling of taxpayer funds.
Watters detailed millions of dollars being spent on questionable foreign projects, arguing that the government is misallocating resources while ignoring problems at home.
“The government’s been robbing us blind,” Watters stated.
“We’ve been writing checks—6 million for tourism in Egypt. Like Egypt needs help with that. They have the pyramids. We should be spending money on cleaning up California so that tourists can vacation in California.”
He continued to list expenditures he deemed unnecessary, including $2 million for the BBC to promote diversity coverage in Libya, $20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street, and $1 million for an LGBTQ group in Armenia.
“We’re bribing the BBC to cover Libya better,” Watters said.
“Why a million for a gay group in Armenia? There it is. We paid 20 million for Iraqi Sesame Street. You paid for Bert and Ernie in Baghdad. Weren’t we just bombing these people? Now we’re paying for their Muppet shows. We’re sick. There is something sick with us. You also paid for an Irish DEI musical.”
Watters did not hold back in his criticism of USAID, the agency responsible for administering foreign aid.
He pointed to $2 million spent on transgender surgeries in Guatemala, questioning where the money actually went.
“This is a government theft ring,” Watters said.
“We spent $2 million for trans surgeries in Guatemala. I’m going to go out on a limb—one Guatemalan dude got breast implants, and we probably kicked back the rest of the cash to a crooked Guatemalan politician and the corrupt liberal CEO of the group they laundered the money through.”
Watters went further, arguing that such extravagant spending could have “turned the whole world trans” and questioning the true cost of projects like the $20 million allocated for Iraqi Sesame Street.
“You really think it costs 20 million to produce an episode of Sesame Street? You could hire Tom Cruise to play Oscar the Grouch for that money,” he quipped.
In addition to these projects, Watters accusedJoe Biden of sending $5 billion to unnamed foreign sources, suggesting the funds were being used for political bribes and left-wing subsidies.
“Check this—Biden paid nearly $5 billion to unnamed foreign sources,” Watters said.
“Whoever is getting our money is so shady our government can’t even put it in writing. They just call it aid.”
He speculated that much of this money was used to bribe foreign officials, secure business deals for American companies, or funnel resources into left-wing foundations.
“Most of the people getting money from these grants aren’t in the country. They pump it into overseas organizations and then we never see them,” he said. “Any liberal with an International Women’s Studies degree can launch a 501(c)(3), apply for a government grant, and spin it off into a left-wing piggy bank.”
Watters also took aim at USAID’s $235 million allocation to the National Democratic Institute (NDI), suggesting that much of the money was used for executive salaries rather than democracy programs.
“USAID paid $235 million to the National Democratic Institute. Well, that sounds benign. No. Millions of that money went to executive compensation—meaning salaries for all the Liberals with no skills,” Watters explained.
“I bet most of that money didn’t go to supporting democracy. It went to supporting liberal lifestyles.”
He accused Democrats of profiting off taxpayer dollars, claiming that the USAID system has been a financial pipeline for left-wing operatives for years.
“Democrats have been sucking off the teat of government for decades, and Trump caught them,” Watters said.
“As one Trump insider says, you bring USAID to heel and you end the Democrat gravy train.”
Watters suggested that USAID was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to government waste, arguing that deeper investigations would uncover massive misallocation of funds across multiple agencies.
“USAID is just the beginning. You start peeling back at the layers of every agency, and all you find out is pork that winds up in the wrong people’s pockets,” he said.
