Between DOGE, O’Keefe Media, and Project Veritas, the Deep State just keeps exposing how corrupt they are and where the bodies are buried. In a three-minute video, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin explained how they found those “gold bars” that the Biden EPA had tossed “off the Titanic” in the waning days of the administration when they were attempting to gum up the works for incoming President Donald Trump while still funneling money to their left-wing causes to avoid discovery.
Oops.
WATCH:
🚨The Biden EPA tossed $20 billion of “gold bars off the Titanic”.
BIG UPDATE! We found the gold bars and they are now being recovered for you, the hardworking American taxpayer.

The information was not only detailed but had lots of meat to chew on.
Zeldin began:
One of my very top priorities at EPA is to be an excellent steward of your hard-earned tax dollars. There will be zero tolerance of any waste and abuse.
An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago, featuring a Biden EPA political appointee, talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the Titantic. Rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before inauguration day.
The “gold bars” were tax dollars, and tossing them off the Titantic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it. Following this revelation, during my meetings with members of Congress, I made a very important commitment to them and to the American people, which I reiterated at my confirmation hearing. That if confirmed, I would immediately get a full accounting. Fortunately, my awesome team at EPA has found the gold bars.
Shockingly, roughly 20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. Even further, this pot of 20 billion dollars was awarded to just eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency. Just under 7 billion dollars was sent to one entity, called “The Climate United Fund.”
The Biden-Harris administration paid POLITICO for subscriptions, and the outlet performed their propaganda PR work well, proudly announcing this $20 billion Biden-Harris EPA partnership in April 2024.
The Biden administration announced recipients of the climate law’s biggest grant program Thursday, kicking off a $20 billion effort to transform community lending and green the U.S. economy.
EPA will award eight initial grants under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, ranging in size from $400 million to almost $7 billion. The largest award will go to Climate United, a partnership that includes a nonprofit impact investment firm and two affordable housing lenders.
A senior administration official told reporters Wednesday that the EPA finance program would “create a first-of-its-kind national network of clean technology financing institutions that will finance tens of thousands of climate and clean energy projects in the years to come.”
Can you say “money laundering,” boys and girls? Because that essentially is all these green climate scams turn out to be. We learned nothing during the Obama-Biden administration about the dangers of these boondoggles except how they could hide the money better. Any time you use the terms “low-income” and “underserved populations,” you know to check your purse to ensure your wallet hasn’t been pinched. With great potential for fraud is the greater potential that these populations they claim to serve will be screwed over after things go south.
Case in point:
But the real problem in the St. Louis school district is that they wanted to replace their actual working diesel buses to buy useless electric buses with taxpayer money courtesy of the Biden administration’s green money laundering deal and now the money for the buses has been frozen. (Much like EVs during St. Louis winters.)
A pause in federal funding for climate and clean energy programs has left the Ritenour School District unable to pay for electric school buses it ordered.
Ritenour officials were supposed to receive 24 electric school buses paid for by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The buses would have replaced Ritenour’s entire daily fleet of diesel buses.
“We’ve got a little bit of a bridge to nowhere at this point,” said Ritenour Superintendent Chris Kilbride.
You’ve got a school system where most students can’t read or do math, which seems like the bigger problem here.
In a ceremony in early 2024, EPA officials visited St. Louis to present the Ritenour School District and the Ferguson-Florissant School District with large ceremonial checks.
Ritenour was promised $9.5 million for 24 buses and their charging infrastructure, while the Ferguson-Florissant district was promised $6.3 million for 16 buses.
If you’re wondering, yes that was where the Ferguson riots happened. And yes, the Biden administration decided to spend $15 million on electric buses for minority school districts that may not even survive one Missouri winter. And yes, the media is whining that the children, who were kept home during the pandemic so their government unions could bribe politicians even harder, won’t be able to learn without ‘green buses’.
Your tax dollars at work…or not. In the video, Zeldin promised a full investigation into how those gold bars were funneled in the direction of Climate United and its “partner” organizations.
I’m sure you and I now have some of the same questions: How do these organizations decide how to allocate funding? How much money have they given out so far and to whom? Are there any former Biden EPA staffers who are now working at these entities? Let me make one thing abundantly clear: At this point, there is zero reason to suspect any wrongdoing by the bank.
Here is my position as EPA administrator. The financial agent agreement with the bank needs to be instantly terminated, and the bank must immediately return all the gold bars that the Biden administration tossed off the Titanic. EPA needs to reassume responsibility for all of these funds. We will review every penny that has gone out the door. I’ll be referring this matter to the Inspector General’s office, and we’ll work with the Justice Department as well.
Zeldin also promised that the days of left-wing slush funds in the name of so-called climate equity, which in turn help fund terrorism against the United States, are over.
The days of irresponsibly shoveling boatloads of cash to far-left activist groups in the name of environmental justice and climate equity are over. The American public deserves a more transparent and accountable government than what transpired these last four years.
We take our obligations under the law as seriously as it gets. I’ve directed my team to find your gold bars, and they found them. Now we will get them back inside of the control of government as we pursue next steps.
As President Trump has vowed, we are going to usher in a new golden age of American success for the citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
Mic drop.
One intrepid X user named Chad Edwards, along with another numbers savant who goes by the handle Data Republican, did a deeper dive on The Climate United Fund. The thread is embedded below so you can dig into the details yourself. Suffice to say that a lot of people under the guise of partners and directors had their hands in the till and were attempting to stuff the evidence down their pants.
Climate United Fund is a newly formed 501(c)(3) with Frederick “Bart” Harvey as the Chairman. Bart Harvey is the Director Emeritus of Calvert Impact. He is also the former Chair and CEO of Enterprise Community Partners. Form 990 linkhttps://t.co/cjXoTW6Ucr pic.twitter.com/E2pabq63r4

With President Donald Trump announcing a press conference on Thursday where he will reveal the biggest fraudsters and purveyors of waste in the government, it’s a glorious time to be alive and to see your government finally work for YOU. If this scorched earth campaign to root out government excess and waste can claw back even a fraction of our national debt, then Trump deserves to be on Mount Rushmore.
