The podcast, which boasts over 19 million subscribers, featured a discussion that has since sparked a wave of reactions on social media.
According to Gateway Pundit, Benz made claims about the Obama administration's use of USAID funds, alleging that the funds were not used for aid as purported, but rather for more clandestine operations. He accused the Obama administration of laundering taxpayer dollars to finance "rent-a-mobs."

"This was a scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time," Benz stated on the podcast. He further explained, "USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to know, to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it.”

Benz's allegations, if true, could be seen as a significant misuse of public funds and a manipulation of democratic processes. He detailed how the Obama administration allegedly funded a Twitter clone to disseminate propaganda in Cuba and incite protests aimed at overthrowing the government.

He said, “So what they did is they took the exact same thing as Twitter, same user interface, same like, and retweet button... But the whole trick about it was you have to make it look like it’s coming from the Cubans if you’re going to do this operation. They started running this in 2010 which right during the Arab Spring."
Benz further alleged that USAID funds designated for Pakistan were used for these operations. He claimed that contractors funded by USAID used the data for micro-targeting efforts towards anti and pro-government users in Cuba. The developers initially used non-controversial content such as sports and music updates, but once they had enough subscribers, they began to introduce political messages and encourage dissent.

Benz also claimed that the funds were not sent to Pakistan as earmarked, but were instead funneled to the Cayman Islands to finance these operations. He said, “You’re using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You’re saying it’s, you’re earmarking it for Pakistani aid.” But the money was never sent to Pakistan, it was sent to the Cayman Islands to fund this whole operation."

These allegations, if substantiated, could have far-reaching implications, particularly for the Democratic Party. It is worth noting that President Trump shut down USAID during his tenure, a move that Benz suggests was due to its misuse as a "slush fund" for the Democrats.

While these claims are yet to be verified, they have certainly stirred up a storm, casting a shadow over the Obama administration's use of USAID funds. The allegations underscore the need for transparency and accountability in the use of public funds, particularly when they are intended for aid purposes.
