$40 Million Per Week: Tim Burchett Exposes Taliban Funding

President Trump reposted a bombshell video from Congressman Tim Burchett revealing the staggering scale of American taxpayer money flowing to the Taliban—and the corrupt system that keeps it hidden.

“We’re giving the Taliban $40 million a week. Two years I’ve been working on this. I got a memo from the State Department—they’re no friends of mine, they’re no friends of this country. If there’s a deep state, there ever was one. They’ve told us that we’ve given them close to $5 billion and we’re still doing it because it goes to the NGOs.”
— Rep. Tim Burchett

Despite two years of effort, Burchett has struggled to find allies willing to shut down this funding pipeline. The question Jim Pfaff raised: How is this something you’d push for so long without getting more people to join?

Taliban Funding by the Numbers

  • Weekly funding: $40 million
  • Total disclosed: Nearly $5 billion
  • NGOs operating in Afghanistan: Almost 1,000
  • Where the money goes: Right back to Washington

The NGO Money Laundering Machine

Burchett exposed what amounts to a massive money laundering operation using non-governmental organizations as the pipeline:

“There’s a thousand NGOs and you know good and well that that money’s coming right back to Washington. That’s what Elon told us—paper trail runs right back… Squealing about USAID cuts, you’re saying that our suspicions are confirmed that the money that’s spent at USAID goes right back to Democrat campaign coffers. Almost a hundred percent.”
— Rep. Tim Burchett

When Burchett told this truth publicly, leadership sent someone to tell him to stop talking. His response? “But you know it’s the truth, right?” The answer: “Well, yeah, we know it’s the truth but you just can’t keep saying it.”

Jim Pfaff connected the dots to a larger pattern:

“The Obama administration began and the Biden administration put on steroids an effort to take American tax dollars, to launder it through federal grants into non-government organizations, to come back into political efforts. The Nixon Watergate scandal was bad enough… but that pales in comparison to what’s been happening since Barack Obama became president.”

USAID: Funding Hamas, Gaza Rappers, and Terrorists

Burchett’s testimony revealed the full scope of USAID’s corruption under Samantha Power:

  • $2 million to Gaza – 90% of which went directly to Hamas
  • $3 million to a rapper in Gaza
  • $40 million per week to the Taliban – not per month, per week

Pfaff didn’t mince words about what should happen next:

“There should be people going to jail. I’m all in for Donald Trump and his administration, but I have to say the aggressiveness needs to kick in right now. The indictments need to roll out beginning right now. We are in a desperate situation to be able to maintain our liberty in this country.”
— Jim Pfaff

8,000 Biden Pardons: The Corruption No One Can Explain

Burchett also addressed the Biden pardon scandal, which has grown from 2,000 to potentially 8,000 pardons:

“You think Joe couldn’t remember what he had for breakfast. He couldn’t remember where the bathroom was. And he reviewed 8,000 files on pardons. Give me a freaking break. This is so shady.”
— Rep. Tim Burchett

Ed Martin at DOJ is reportedly working on legal avenues to challenge these pardons, but Pfaff noted this exemplifies the scale of corruption Americans are only beginning to understand.

White House Moving to Designate CAIR as Terrorist Organization

According to Paul Sperry, the White House is drawing up paperwork to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and its U.S. front group CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) as a foreign terrorist organization. This would freeze their assets and make it a crime to support them.

“CAIR should have been on the terrorist watch list as an international terrorist group and a domestic terror group for a long time now. It’s a pro-Muslim organization that has been doing a legal jihad on American institutions. It is a dangerous organization. We’ve known about this for more than 25 years.”
— Jim Pfaff

Pfaff noted that CAIR had ties to terrorist activities dating back to the first World Trade Center bombing in the 1990s. If members of Congress continue working with these organizations after designation, there will be grounds for prosecution.

Brazil Crisis: Bolsonaro Jailed, China Makes Inroads

Over the weekend, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken from home detention and thrown in prison—ostensibly for a “coup attempt” that occurred while he was in the United States. The trigger? His son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, called for a prayer vigil near his father’s house.

“There is a very real threat. China has made huge inroads in Brazil thanks to the help of their current president, Lula da Silva. They are trying to build themselves a stronghold in Brazil. Venezuela and Brazil being so unstable as they both are is a real problem.”
— Jim Pfaff

Pfaff explained how Brazil’s elections were likely stolen in 2022 through the same playbook Democrats want here: removing paper ballot trails and manipulating electronic voting machines. When paper trails were required in 2018, Bolsonaro won. When they were removed in 2022—with Alexandre de Moraes running both the Supreme Court and Elections Commission—Bolsonaro lost to Lula, who had been released from prison specifically to run.

With U.S. warships now positioned near Venezuela, Pfaff noted a Brazilian friend asked: “If he’s got warships outside of Venezuela, why not threaten Brazil after what they just did to Jair Bolsonaro?”

Democrat Senators Call for Military Insurrection

Former DNI Rick Grenell appeared on Fox with Maria Bartiromo to address the video of Democrat senators urging military and intelligence personnel to refuse Trump’s orders:

“This video that these Democrat elected officials are doing now is a call to arms to try to get the last remaining few people within the intelligence community, within the bureaucracy to stand up and fight. What they’re trying to do is mount an insurrection from within.”
— Rick Grenell, Former DNI

Jim Pfaff agreed with Grenell’s assessment and went further:

“I believe it is appropriate for Donald Trump to consider taking action on every one of these members of Congress who put out this video as attempting to foment sedition and an insurrection against this country. Glenn Beck shared rightly the actual code that exists in the federal statutes where there are likely criminal actions that can be taken against every one of these senators. January 6th is a walk in the park compared to this. This is the serious insurrection.”
— Jim Pfaff

Ukraine Peace Talks: Most Productive Day Yet

Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended peace talks in Geneva with Russia and Ukraine, reporting “the most productive day we have had on this issue, maybe in the entirety of our engagement.”

While welcoming the progress, Pfaff outlined what Trump should focus on now:

Trump’s Priority Focus Areas

  1. Reinvigorate DOGE – Despite rumors it was disbanded, accelerate government cuts
  2. Massive spending cuts – Use reconciliation to go beyond the “Big Beautiful Bill”
  3. Extract the deep state – Aggressive action against embedded bureaucrats
  4. Reform elections – Pass the SAVE Act, even through reconciliation if necessary
“The American people already know that Donald Trump has won internationally. Now they need to be able to feel the wins. Their paychecks need to get reformed right now. What the federal government has done in recent years through the Biden administration has caused harm. We need some recovery and relief for the American people.”
— Jim Pfaff

Key Takeaways

  1. $5 billion to the Taliban – $40 million per week still flowing through NGOs
  2. USAID money goes back to Democrats – “Almost 100 percent” according to Burchett
  3. Samantha Power funded terrorists – Hamas, Taliban, and Gaza rappers with your tax dollars
  4. 8,000 Biden pardons – No way Joe reviewed them; something deeply corrupt happened
  5. CAIR terrorist designation coming – Would make supporting them a crime
  6. Brazil election was stolen – Paper trails removed, Bolsonaro now in prison
  7. Democrat senators calling for insurrection – Federal sedition statutes may apply
  8. Ukraine talks progressing – But Trump must now focus on domestic wins
