“Where’s the money being spent? Right? Let’s go into that for just a second.
$520 million for a consultant on the environment. It’s called Environmental, Social, and Governance investments in Africa and mobilized private sector resources.
$520 million? Somebody got $520 million for an environmental…sounds like an environmental study.
I’ve always been one that paid a lot of money for my environmental studies but they, you know, I paid like $50,000, not $520 million.
$520 million for ESG.
$25 million to promote biodiversity conservation and promote licit livelihoods by developing socially responsible behavior in the country of Colombia.
Well, it’s nice, $25 million to go into Colombia for something that nobody ever heard of.

$486 million to the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening, including $22 million for inclusive and participatory political process in Moldova and $21 million for voter turnout in India.
Well, why are we giving $21 million to India?
They got a lot of money there—they’re one of the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of us.
We can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high.
I have a lot of respect for India.
I have a lot of respect for the Prime Minister—he just left, as you know, two days ago.
But we’re giving $21 million for voter turnout?
It’s voter turnout in India.
What about like voter turnout here?
We’ve done that, I guess.
We did $500 million, didn’t we?
It’s called the lockboxes.
