WHY is the US Funding Terrorism? Nancy Mace ExplainsWHY is the US Funding Terrorism? Nancy Mace Explains

[00:00] America needs to wake up. They couldn't even pretend the money wasn't feeding people. They spent 20 years fighting. They're doing everything that's America last right now, not America first. It's like the US government needs to go to rehab. If you can't vote yes to pass a bill called no tax dollars for terrorism, I would love to see the bill that you'd actually vote for. Your tax dollars are secretly funding terrorism. We have assisted al-Shabaab in Somalia. There's been instances of the Hamzi Network in Sudan, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Qatayiba, Hezbollah, Hayat al-Khudr al-Shams in Syria. Dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance from US foreign aid. The key word there in that video is that that witness said dozens. This is an oversight hearing from last year. This is not a rejected episode from Veep. This is your money. A witness sat in front of Congress and told Congress that dozens of terrorist organizations have received indirect assistance from US foreign aid. Indirect assistance from US, a form of US foreign aid.

[01:02] That's what they like to call it. Al-Shabaab, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban, you name it. Hamas, the ones you can't even pronounce, they're all getting your tax dollars, your money. The Taliban, he didn't say maybe. This guy, this witness on the oversight committee, he listed them. The US government isn't confused. They're counting on you being confused. They're counting on you not noticing. They're not incompetent. This is a plan on purpose. There is a plan. Another government watchdog was asked whether or not American money was reaching the Taliban. Watch this. It is critical that our assistance not be diverted by the Taliban. Unfortunately, as I sit here today, I cannot assure this committee or the American taxpayer we are not currently funding the Taliban. You hear that? He cannot tell the oversight committee that we are not currently funding the Taliban. Well, we all know that to be a load of BS now. Apparently, the Taliban has an accounts receivable department to accept your tax dollars and you, the taxpayer, are on auto bill pay.

[02:09] They have auto pay for the Taliban. That's what the US government is doing. It's not a joke. It's real. Congressman Tim Burchard out of Tennessee, he's the one that asked the question. We have government witnesses and watchdogs that are detailing the money trail, that are exposing the lack of oversight. We have government witnesses and watchdogs that are detailing the money trail, the oversight failures. Washington calls it foreign aid. The terrorists call it making payroll. They're not hiding it anymore. And this is Get Maced.

[03:14] The House Oversight Committee has a subcommittee called the Doge Subcommittee, D-O-G-E. It is chaired by my beloved, my favorite congressman out of Tennessee. His name is Tim Burchard. If you're not following him online, please follow him on Twitter. He's a great guy. He's a great He had this hearing about US tax dollars funding terrorism. I was on that committee that day. A witness sits down and says there's a fox in the American henhouse of American foreign aid. His group, that witness traced $122 million in grants that ended up with radical terror-tied terrorist organizations. And I'm here because there's a fox loose in the henhouse of our foreign aid system, a system intended to uplift lives.

[04:09] The 122 million is just the tip of the iceberg. That's only like a little nugget, only a very small percentage of the actual dollars, tens of billions of dollars of your dollars, your money that we have spent that have gotten into the back pockets or the purses.

[04:29] We've done that. And it's also how basically one of the ways that we fund both sides of nearly every conflict in my lifetime. We're on both sides. We're paying for the bullets to shoot the terrorists and we're paying for the terrorists to have bullets to shoot back. I mean, that's what's happening. So then Tim Burchard asked the only question that matters. Play the tape. Mr. Roman, are you aware that we are sending $40 million a week to the Taliban?

[04:57] Yes, sir. Can you name other instances of foreign aid going to terrorist organizations? List them out here, but all the names he listed. We have assisted Al-Shabaab in Somalia. There's been instances of the Hamzi Network in Sudan, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Qatayiba, Hezbollah, Hayat al-Khudr, Al-Shams in Syria. Dozens of terror organizations have received indirect assistance from U.S. foreign aid. The United States is secretly funding. And this witness just listed them out. Al-Shabaab, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, names you can't even pronounce. You know, you and I don't even know of dozens. He said dozens of terrorist organizations are getting U.S. dollars paid for by you. We're doing this. They're not hiding it. And then the Gaza number comes later. We find out that Gaza, 2.1 billion with a B of U.S. dollars since October 7th, since the horrific tragedy of Israel, the assassination and murder of Jews on October 7th, the U.S.

[06:05] in foreign aid. Again, in the name of foreign aid, we give Gaza 2.1 billion dollars. Do you know what percentage that 2.1 billion dollars went to Hamas-controlled areas of Gaza? Any guesses? More than 90 percent of the money that the U.S. sent in. foreign aid to Gaza. More than 90% of it ended up in Hamas-controlled areas. They're not screening for terrorism when the money goes out the door. Just an emergency waiver, money's gone, it goes to terrorists. Nobody's really looking. We're turning the other way, essentially. So the emergency was that Hamas needed money, got it, and they got it. The U.S. called it foreign aid. That is the vehicle that they use. They also use grant funding and USAID. They have these different vehicles where they can hide the money under the guise of being generous, being nice, being kind, being responsible stewards of the world.

[07:08] Hamas got over 90% of the money. We underwrote the terrorists who slaughtered the Jews. America needs to wake up. This is happening. And they're coming, they're doing this, they're counting on you not to even. No. Notice, here comes John Sopko, another witness. He's a special inspector general for Afghanistan Reconstruction. He knows what he's doing. His entire job was tracking every single American tax dollar. That's what his job was. He told Congress he saw plenty of starving Afghan kids on TV, but he never once saw a starving Taliban soldier. And I would just say, I haven't seen a starving Taliban. He hasn't seen a starving Taliban soldier. And that's right. They're not starving. They're fully fed. They're fully weaponized. They have all the bullets in the arsenal that they need because we paid for it. Taliban don't have a lot of rules. It's a terrorist organization. It's literally terrorism.

[08:09] Apparently they have, even though they don't have a lot of rules, apparently they have an accounts receivable department that we send the money to. My question, sir, is the Biden administration cooperating with your investigation?

[08:22] I can't talk about the whole administration, but I can talk about state and aid and DOD and no, they haven't. This happens under the Biden administration. The Biden White House swears, swears under life and limb that they gave the watchdogs everything. And Chairman Comer talked to this witness and he asked him if that was true. One word, the witness, John Sopko, said no. The same office's report from 2025, $3.83 billion, more than the 2.1 Hamas, Scott. $3.83 billion from American taxpayers went into Afghanistan after the Taliban took over. The Taliban took over after America left in August of that year. The people we were trying to kill for 20 years, we gave them $4 billion up front when we left the country. They're not confused. They're just hoping that you're not paying attention. They're counting on you not to count the dollars. House Democrat, whom you know, the famed and well-loved and respected Tulsi Gabbard stood on the House. She said, I'm not counting on you. I'm not counting on you. I'm counting on you. House Warren said America is helping groups allied with Al Qaeda in Syria.

[09:26] Watch this. If we broke this law, we'd be thrown in jail. Yet the U.S. government's been violating this law for years, directly and indirectly supporting allies and partners of groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS with money, weapons, intelligence and other support in their fight to overthrow the Syrian government. And it's still been going on. She had a bill at the time called the Stop Arming Terrorists Act. News reports later showed American anti-tank missiles meant for vetted rebels ended up in the hands of Al Qaeda. I hate that we have leaders who cozy up to Islamist extremists, minimizing them to so-called rebels. As Jake Sullivan said to Hillary Clinton, quote, Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria. Well, Syria is now controlled by an Al Qaeda offshoot. This is not a new problem. It's been going on for decades. It is a habit. It's like a bad drug habit. It's like the U.S. government needs to go to rehab. And the people who ran the system kept acting shocked when someone reads the receipts and reads the record out loud like Tulsi Gabbard did.

[10:29] And they've been doing this for years. They're still doing it. We're still paying the Taliban every week. Tim Burchett says it's $45 million a week. I've heard from operators in the region, in Afghanistan, it's closer to $80 million a week. They're not hiding it. They're counting on you. Not to look now. My favorite congressman from Tennessee, Tim Burchett, has a bill. It's called the No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act. No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Bill. Okay, that's what the legislation is. Now, it passed out of the House in June of 2025. And it even cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the Senate side. So when a bill passes out of the House to get to the president's desk to be signed into law, it has to go through the Senate. And then to go through the Senate, it has to go through the committee process. It has to pass out of the committee. Well, it passed out of the Foreign Relations Committee in January of this year. It's been sitting on the Senate calendar since February. It's now the end of October, almost November.

[11:30] It's been sitting on the calendar for seven or eight months now. If you can't vote yes to pass a bill called No Tax Dollars for Terrorism, I would love to see the bill that you'd actually vote for. If you can't vote for that, what will you vote for? It's pretty astounding that that's what we're going to see. We are as a country today. Can't pass the Save America Act. Put America first. America voters, America citizens, American citizen voters first. Now we can't claw back money that we've been giving to terrorists. We're still giving money to terrorists every single year. Tell your senators to stop treating the attempt to stop payments to terrorists with your money like it's just a suggestion. This is not a suggestion box. This is real. We want our money back. It's your money. And they are. Terrorists that we're paying. They're counting on you not to watch. They're counting on you not to notice. They're counting on you not to count the dollar bills from the U.S. government. Your money going to pay off terrorists. Can you do me one favor right now?
