Lee Zeldin: The People Serving In Government Have A Duty To Make Sure Not A Penny Of Our Tax Dollars Is Being Wasted

Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin joins Fox Across America With guest host Emily Compagno to shed light on how his team was quickly able to discover that the Biden administration awarded $2 billion to a climate group connected with former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.

Once I was confirmed just over three weeks ago, I and my team hit the ground running to find the gold bars. We found $20 billion parked at an outside financial institution to give to eight primary recipients. Yes, eight primary recipients receiving $20 billion, one of them being Stacey Abrams’ organization, which only got $100 in 2023. And those pastors give it to sub grantees. Many of those are also passed through. And as you go through that process of doling out the money from there, there’s less and less EPA oversight and there’s less accountability for the American taxpayer. This is aside from in addition to canceling a $50 million grant to Climate Justice Alliance, which talks about how climate justice runs through a free Palestine coming out nine canceling nine grants, working with Doge, saving $60 million, funds that were going towards DEA and what is called environmental justice, canceling over $1 million worth of media subscriptions. We’re paying way too much for those, and we’re going to just keep on going. We have a lot more grants that we’re about to cancel, through that partnership with those. And we want to make sure that we are doing our part. Following President Trump’s order to ensure that our agencies are operating as efficiently as possible.
