He viewed it as part of the “deep state”, wasting American resources on ineffective foreign aid and nation-building efforts that did little to serve U.S. interests."
Is using a covert money laundering operation to finance opposition to an ACTUAL communist dictator that is ACTUALLY disrupting supply chain evil? That's Benz's point.
Yes. And more you force others to do something, the more they'll push back. Why it looks like, all of the sudden, the whole world is against US, pushing back. It's not. Been for a while, just not all were on socials. As they are destroying your national identity now, making up shi, it's been done around the world. Aim weak links, morally corrupt, throw money at them, and they'll disown their own parents, children, letalone who they are.

I was 56 years old when I realized there was no Santa because of Covid Was always patriotic, but now at 60, I realized somewhere along the line we became the bad guys
You just explained the comments above where it's claimed Mike did a 180* dip on his stance. Put him on Tucker and get the word out. Controlled opposition ✅
Dude got a phone call saying " you better help clean this up before you have an accident". He definitely got something said to him to change his tune. You can see it in his eyes
I don't blame him. He learnt what shady stuff the people around these agencies are capable of doing. Don't even want to imagine what they could've threatened him with for poking around their infinite, no questions asked tax payer piggy bank.
I think Mike needs a vacation…there’s zero excuse for these actions by the USAID it’s not in America s interest and if it is we should want no part of it…Tucker is the voice of reason here.
I don't think it was as much about him as creating excuses for USAID's actions but more so saying that destroying everything and exposing everything could actually end up being more detrimental. I think he's playing devil's advocate here to some extent but also pointing out the real harm this will cause. This is going to cause an existential crisis in so many people in this country as well as anger many those who are finally vindicated. He just wants to make sure it is handled responsibly.
We can win by playing fair! We can win without spreading DEI or transgender craziness throughout the world. We can win without sabotaging other countries.
Guys, he says that in every interview when he's trying to make the dispassionate, logical argument. He's just saying remove whether you think, for example, the ousting of a dictator is good or bad, it shouldn't be done without the knowledge of the American ppl, especially with our money.
As an outsider, it seems to me that most of the ordinary Americans have long been not concerned with what their government is doing outside the US publicly and covertly. They were entirely focused on the domestic politics of the country. But now it's time to open one's eyes and take an assessment of all these things.
Not concerned because USA media reported USAID was a charity organization helping other nations. No one mainstream reported the truth and those who did were looked down on as crazy. US citizens have been psychologically controlled by their own government for a long time.
Ive watched interviews with Mike all week and this interview was almost a total 180 from what he said on Benny Johnson and Crowder. Someone must have gotten to him.
I'm Canadian as well and I feel that this will do nothing but strengthen our self righteousness. We KNOW the government funds legacy media here and people don't care. Canadians as a whole are indifferent to corruption as long as we appear pious.
What is redeeming is Trump coming to the fore to save us from this ethical disgrace with his administration. I am just disgusted that the 45th POTUS was unaware of this until the DOGE group emerged. The Swamp exposed. Who was the head of USAid? The head of the SWAMP? The true leader of our national direction, not elected in an office not mentioned in our Constitution, Amendments and Bill of Rights.
Don't be disheartened, The American people are waking up. The battle has turned. Now is the time to spread the message and keep pushing. Lets Gooooooo!
@@BarryMcCockiner-em5svor the situation has changed. In the past he was raising awareness about the problem. Now he’s trying to offer a solution and he clearly believes despite all the stupid/evil stuff USAID does it also has benefits. Seems like he’s making an argument for avoiding “throwing the baby out with the bath water”.
@@Twix32000 Name it something else? Mike Benz is trying to "justify USAID"? A Tucker Carlson audience is supposed to be at leasy average intelligence or above. You are going off of "feelings" and have forgotten who has been doing the work to expose the crimes of the deep state for many months and years. It's Mike Benz, he was fighting this Goliath before it was "popular". Show some respect and gratitude and you actually do need to stop being dumb. This is an extremely pivotal and precarious moment in American history. The last thing we need is people administering purity tests, going "BOO" and throwing rocks at the leaders of America First. Get it together people.
Absolutely blew my mind when he said that. I've been watching his interviews for a long time, including multiple THIS WEEK up until as recently as 2 days ago and hes completely 180'd. Its like listening to a completely different person. He's been gotten too 💯%. No doubt.
Watch the Russian film "У края бездны" The film is anti-war and uncensored, showing what the war in Ukraine is really like. And what has the US really done!
I'm failing to see this guy's reasoning. He's tip toeing around, avoiding direct questions, trying not to say the "wrong" thing, etc. Either he's been threatened or he's part of the problem to begin with. I personally don't care if this program and operation did 5% truly did good deeds. The fact of the matter is that the 5% that they may have done is was nothing more than a cover for the 95% of evil bullshit that they did. We need to Jesus and the fig tree this thing.
Agreed, he pushed for this for the last year now we do it and he is going soft. We can solve our own PENCILS, and who cares if EXXON stock prices go up when we screw over other countries? When does that affect a normal person? We are twisting in the wind no matter what. I think he is afraid to do without stuff now that we are ready to put the hurt on these lizards. . As long as we can eat and have a roof idgaf about PENCILS . If we have cheap energy Ill invent my own goddamn pencil.
So Benz, in defense of USAID, is concerned "Maga Republicans " will not be able to have effective foreign policy . Wow, this guy has changed his tune real quick.
I’m so glad Tucker is pointing out that something being good for a particular corporation isn’t the same as it being good for the American economy in aggregate.
100% agree. The RINOs need to be included as there’s no real difference between a Chuck Schumer and a Mitch McConnell outside of the R or D designation.
Thanks mike, for letting me know in the clearest way possible you got the call. End USAID. No exceptions. If its needed, the free market will find a way to make it happen. Im fine without pencils for a bit.
They cut it from 10,000 to like 297 people, they took the lettering off the physical building and are folding the remaining few people into the State department... they ended USAID for all intents and purposes, lol I think most Americans are perfectly fine with legitimate foreign aid being doled out, especially because foreign aid, when used properly, actually is supposed to benefit US too and actually is a win-win all around. With only 300 people and under the umbrella of State, they can only do so much and it will be much, much easier to keep tabs on what aid they do hand out as well as vetting the aid in the first place so they know it's going to causes that further America's agenda and prosperity.
I've watched Mike Benz very closely during the past few years. He is extremely sharp. His delivery and demeanor in this interview was way off. Maybe just a bad day (we all have them) but he seemed to be guarding his words.
DO NOT TRUST Mike Benz : he is an israeli spy : he was exposed in 2016 playing a neo-nazi and had to admit he was actually jewish and " just helping the FBI and ADL" , then in 2019 he was caught spying for Israel at his new job in the State Department where he worked as a " communictions expert " , instead of being deported back to Israel he then was promoted after Trump lost the 2020 election.
Benz is wrong. Many of us knew about some of these horrible things going on in other countries. All of us experienced "supply chain" problems during the Covid debacle. We have oil here. We used to be a manufacturing country until companies decided they wanted to use cheaper labor. Frankly, I am tired of shoddy products and changed the way I purchased a long time ago. What we need to concentrate on is trade for the things that we can't grow here--chocolate, coffee, certain fruits, and cultural products.
I despair any time I need a new appliance. I will scour thrift stores for the old stuff. We had an air fryer that lasted one year exactly, and there is no old version. I am hooked on air fried food but I don't want to waste a hundred bucks a year on one. New clothes are total garbage, even the good brands.
@KellyNora-p8q i still have a tv from 2004. Works flawlessly. All new tvs last 5-6 years if not less. Trying to buy a new car right now. Don't get me started on all the incar cameras and microphones that are on 24/7. Cars became mobile surveillance and data harvesting nightmares.
- Because, either he's not honest or he's been living under fear of being destroyed by the left. He forgets it's a new and different government and that the majority of the American people want reform.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, Benz is panicking, back peddling hard and trying to qualify everything he previously said gaslighting that Empire is not so bad. He's either compromised now or sold out. Tucker is probably even thinking what happened? He won't be back on. This has been a disaster to watch.
Rand Paul (and his father before him) have been exposing this for many years. Rand puts out a list every yr on programs and countries we’re giving fortunes to. It’s just nobody would listen. For those of us who’ve followed Rand and Ron, we’ve known all about this.
Yep. It suddenly takes Elon and his big balls team to expose it? I’m thrilled but Rand & Ron need a Yuge pat on the back. I’ve always wondered how greasy it must feel to have to work among so many unethical crooks. Bet the Paul’s are sleeping good this week!
I think he's worried about the whipsaw in popular opinion that will occur when the Fortune 500 tanks because the whole US economy is predicated on USAID tilting the scales in our favor.
@JoesephBidon "The guy" is the savant who blew this whole thing open and has been screaming about since the first Trump Admin to anyone who'd listen. He's literally spent like 16hrs a day watching their lectures & policy symposiums, researching their grants, following the money, exposing the individuals and NGOs/etc, connecting all of the dots of a system that is intentionally elaborate. You'd be nuanced too if you had all that info in your head and felt like it needed to be shared with the American people. Benz is a national hero and deserves the credit for this trash being shut down.
If that's the takeaway you received from this then you're a moron. Benz has been leading the fight against these ppl since the 1st Trump administration. In no way did he say he's ok with slush funding of our money. Jfc. He said that there are national interest and security implications that have to be considered after its shut down bc a big void will be created. And it can easily just be filled with another US deepstate entity or even a foreign country, and weaponized once again at us if it's not considered. His hope is that we've thought about and are prepared to implement a more legitimate, honest, and transparent entity that conducta foreign policy in our best interest. That's it.
Yeah we need to have contractual agreements that any organization receiving US taxpayer funds needs to give full accounting of how those funds were actually spent and legally required to open their books for a full audit whenever demanded. Dont like it then kick rocks no money from us.
Because we know a lot of the money in USAID or through others that seem legit or to a good cause have all sorts of corruption and waste internally and tons of kick back and funneling money into private coffers
Mike sounds like he's actually sad we found out how bad this problem is and is more worried about cutting out the tumor. We have to completely remove all of the tumor...and re-negotiate our aid to other countries with more effective bargaining rather than pushing progressive woke ideologies...assuming we even need to provide any aid in the first place!
Go watch any other interview he's ever given up until this point. He's like a completely different person here, arguing against his own points. It's wild. He's been compromised.
There shouldn't be any aid, period. If a country or regime only exists thanks to foreign aid, it shouldn't exist in the first place. Let nature run its course.
Demostic, true, but It's far larger than that. The previous administration, with USAID, even targeted allied nations with these Identity Politics 'aid' (operations) causing further destabilisation. Who needs enemies when you have friends like that. I get 'soft power' but that is sinister. The Democrats, intentional or otherwise, were making everyone enemies.

Benz is acting like the dog that actually caught the car. He never expected USAID to be opened up and seems unable to man up after years of criticism of them.
Thank you, Tucker, for having this conversation. The heart surgery analogy resonated. The need for a systematic approach for dismantling each USAID project- separating the "good" and the "bad" requires a deep knowledge of each issue. This shadow currency war goes back decades.. it has done some good and a lot of bad
The big issue is, Benz is arguing that we need to ignore some of our governments bad behavior to protect its image and function. The reason we have an issue today is because we ignore the illegal wrongdoings of the people who run the government. Benz is literally arguing for a status quo, sacrfice a couple eggs to retain the coop. Our system needs to be exposed so we know how to fix it.
No blob no pencils? 😂 what a stupid thing to say. All countries in the world have pencils, and energy, and anything else they need if they can afford to buy. They don't need a criminal blob to obtain any of this things. They TRADE.
Oh god, just got to that part.Pretty stupid take. Hugely corrupted blob is not needed to have better trade relations.and it is definitely not a net benefit. Reminds me UE, where insanely gigantic blob eatting up most of the productivity exists to allow better trade. As if the second one couldn't exist without the first one.
There is some danger in listening to someone trying to justfy evil by adding that "there is some good side of it"... He mixes truth with lies. A waste of time to listen to this guy.
not really its just like that guy who found nuclear bomb or something like that who end up regretting it bcs its not used for something good.. he just worried if something bad would happen when sudden drastic change implemented... or like Alex Jones didnt expect his viewers would terrorize the families of the sandy hook victims... ykwim ? he also doesnt entirely change his mind about USAID
Imagine a circle..... Food>>> Cancer>>>Insurance>>>>Health 'care'>>>> stealing generational wealth>>>> repeat>>> How many jobs would be lost if you knew the cure.... the Truth.
I think he might be worried that if this impossible thing he's always wanted happens it could be worse. Like our evil control and hegemony machine collapses and now all hell breaks loose and China takes over, which would be worse - at least for us. He said somewhere in the interview that it's good that this is exposed and the CIA should maybe focus on less evil ways to do their job

Why it takes Mike time to get a point out, he worked in the State Department of Trump's First Admin, so he knows Secrets & Classified Information & has to be careful of what he says.
You can see in this guy's face from a mile away, let alone his mannerisms and what hes saying, 100% compromised and feels an immense amount of pressure and guilt talking to Tucker
Just because we have always done it, or it gets what we want, doesn't make it right. It's wrong done to us, as it has been, and wrong to do it to others.
@ronnimm6456 I found most of this out between 2001 and 2004 (fell down a deep rabbit hole when Hillary was asked if she was left or far left, and he said she considered herself to be an early 20th century progressive, and I look it up). been trying to warn everyone. I was told by friends and family I was crazy. People didn't believe this could happen in the USA. well it can. Thankfully they weren't able to steal the election again and all of this is seeing the light of day.
If my govt was caught flooding the world with jihadists and heroin and engineered pandemics, I would be too. There's nothing in history to even compare it to.
MIKE BENZ is a national treasure! His exposure of all this BS is in every citizens best interests and we should all be better off by him laying it out for us!!!
Its really really bad. I was working for the government back in 2012, and I brought up some of these issues to my leadership, and was told that there were big issues but that there was nothing we could do about it. So happy to see its being exposed.
- Benz makes it sound like USAID is an OMG! Agency, but the more he explains it, the more he seems to want to defend it. He's trying to rationalize it in his brain.
And that’s why I don’t understand Benz’s seeming apprehension when talking about closing this down. We can do good in foreign countries and re-establish an organization that isn’t jeopardized and used as a front for fraud! We just need to audit where and what is being funded, and maybe let the voters in on these decisions and what our tax dollars are being used for!
Have you ppl really never listened to Benz before? That's exactly what he wants. Only to make certain that the "starting over" part is actually thoroughly thought through so we don't end up in the same exact situation.
YAY! Love this guy! EDIT: I spoke too soon. They got to him. He's become a mouthpiece. Literally simping for the domestic enemies. You cannot depend on anyone anymore. I'm done.

@esmooth300 don't give up hope yet. Look how much has been done in such a short time! Give them time to put the cases together. There will be some that get away with it, but many will not. Enjoy the ride as we make our way back to sanity.
Indeed. Transparency is nothing without accountability.

Yup. Reap what you sow; wheat from the chaff; it's biblical, really. GOOD came in & is kickin evil incarnate & co. to the curb. Praise the Lord!!
You just explained the comments above where it's claimed Mike did a 180* dip on his stance.
Put him on Tucker and get the word out. Controlled opposition ✅
I had the same EXACT felling. yeah, its evil, but you know, its family. NOPE. fuck that.
Exactly
I think he’s a person of “the tribe”
Mile Benz has a VERY different tone all of a sudden. It's not normal. Something happened.
Exactly
100%. Almost a complete reversal, some of it.
They're skating on thin ice. I can't wait for someone to go to prison for all this.
Agreed
He's been told they want it for themselves
Dude got a phone call saying " you better help clean this up before you have an accident". He definitely got something said to him to change his tune. You can see it in his eyes
I don't blame him. He learnt what shady stuff the people around these agencies are capable of doing. Don't even want to imagine what they could've threatened him with for poking around their infinite, no questions asked tax payer piggy bank.
He looks scared shitless
And in his delivery
Lol I just said I think this guy is a plant.. just like Bustamante was... someone's doing some serious PR work😂
Maybe but it’s in the data. It’s all there. It won’t do a bit of good to sweep this guy under a rug. AI has it. It can’t be hide any longer.
This guy should be in congress, he is EXCELLENT at Word Salad!
I can see he means well and is knowledgeable..but to get a point out is like pulling teeth...!!!!
your so far behind, you think its jibberish. Anyone following real news the last 5 years , understands benz completely
I never thought Mike Benz would become an apologist for USAID's dirty deeds "in the National Interest".
Some of it would have been in Americas interests. Whether you think it’s right or not is subjective.
Its been like this with him since I’ve been watching his stuff both good and bad I’ll say something about 70/30
He sure has !!!
@tomwinterfishits just plain immoral. Wrong. And illegal under what was once called international law.
Be very weary of Mike Benz. He's very hypocritical when it comes to a certain foreign lobby.
I think Mike needs a vacation…there’s zero excuse for these actions by the USAID it’s not in America s interest and if it is we should want no part of it…Tucker is the voice of reason here.
He is owned. Clearly he is a fed
@@breakupgoogle 💯 💶
I don't think it was as much about him as creating excuses for USAID's actions but more so saying that destroying everything and exposing everything could actually end up being more detrimental. I think he's playing devil's advocate here to some extent but also pointing out the real harm this will cause. This is going to cause an existential crisis in so many people in this country as well as anger many those who are finally vindicated. He just wants to make sure it is handled responsibly.
@@bwalsh1105So he’s trying to control the people because we might revolt? They’ve given us a reason. We don’t need him to babysit and mollycoddle us.
We can win by playing fair! We can win without spreading DEI or transgender craziness throughout the world. We can win without sabotaging other countries.
“I’m not even weighing the morality of it okay”
That’s your whole problem, Mike.
Wasn't his problem until a day or two ago when he got the call..
That was my point as well, but you said it WAY more succinctly.
how long till he touches the wall?
Guys, he says that in every interview when he's trying to make the dispassionate, logical argument. He's just saying remove whether you think, for example, the ousting of a dictator is good or bad, it shouldn't be done without the knowledge of the American ppl, especially with our money.
As an outsider, it seems to me that most of the ordinary Americans have long been not concerned with what their government is doing outside the US publicly and covertly. They were entirely focused on the domestic politics of the country. But now it's time to open one's eyes and take an assessment of all these things.
Not concerned because USA media reported USAID was a charity organization helping other nations. No one mainstream reported the truth and those who did were looked down on as crazy. US citizens have been psychologically controlled by their own government for a long time.
Ive watched interviews with Mike all week and this interview was almost a total 180 from what he said on Benny Johnson and Crowder. Someone must have gotten to him.
Interesting
I mean I get that but we’ve abused it. Endlessly
ABSOLUTELY 💯... Benz done a 180 🤯🤯🤯
I agree. A shocking turnaround
Got some calls ??

Big difference losing faith in your country and losing faith in your govt
Good catch! Thanks for pointing that out.

Yup.
Well said
What is redeeming is Trump coming to the fore to save us from this ethical disgrace with his administration. I am just disgusted that the 45th POTUS was unaware of this until the DOGE group emerged. The Swamp exposed. Who was the head of USAid? The head of the SWAMP? The true leader of our national direction, not elected in an office not mentioned in our Constitution, Amendments and Bill of Rights.
We can’t condone corruption nor should we destabilize other countries. Disgusting! I am terribly disheartened

You are going off of "feelings" and have forgotten who has been doing the work to expose the crimes of the deep state for many months and years.
It's Mike Benz, he was fighting this Goliath before it was "popular".
Show some respect and gratitude and you actually do need to stop being dumb.
This is an extremely pivotal and precarious moment in American history.
The last thing we need is people administering purity tests, going "BOO" and throwing rocks at the leaders of America First.
Get it together people.
It's a shame, I thought this guy was on our side, and for our best interest!

That was a terrible comment!
@@BritishGreen70 exactly my thoughts!
Absolutely blew my mind when he said that. I've been watching his interviews for a long time, including multiple THIS WEEK up until as recently as 2 days ago and hes completely 180'd. Its like listening to a completely different person. He's been gotten too 💯%. No doubt.
@@BarryMcCockiner-em5svmaybe it's the real him
I’m tired of the excuses for the corruption! This mess can be cleaned up!
Which excuses for corruption?
Remember who gave all of this information to you....Mike Benz.
It's actually possible he knows much more than you or I.
Watch the Russian film "У края бездны" The film is anti-war and uncensored, showing what the war in Ukraine is really like. And what has the US really done!
In a Huge Way, esp if all assets are seized! The spoils of War !!!
@@Errouy1 How do you spell that in English? I can't copy/paste. I 🩷 Russian movies !!! I hope Pres Putin is invited to the USA.
This is pure naivety
I'm failing to see this guy's reasoning. He's tip toeing around, avoiding direct questions, trying not to say the "wrong" thing, etc. Either he's been threatened or he's part of the problem to begin with.
I personally don't care if this program and operation did 5% truly did good deeds. The fact of the matter is that the 5% that they may have done is was nothing more than a cover for the 95% of evil bullshit that they did. We need to Jesus and the fig tree this thing.
I thought the exact same thing. His eyes darting left...a giveaway. He might be feeling personally threatened.
Agreed, he pushed for this for the last year now we do it and he is going soft. We can solve our own PENCILS, and who cares if EXXON stock prices go up when we screw over other countries? When does that affect a normal person? We are twisting in the wind no matter what.
I think he is afraid to do without stuff now that we are ready to put the hurt on these lizards.
. As long as we can eat and have a roof idgaf about PENCILS . If we have cheap energy Ill invent my own goddamn pencil.
Not the usual Benz who talks fast - knows more than he can get out fast enough. I'd guess threatened. Painful.
YES!! They're using that same crap here. I pray people will see this.
So Benz, in defense of USAID, is concerned "Maga Republicans " will not be able to have effective foreign policy . Wow, this guy has changed his tune real quick.
Think "somebody" got to him.
He is trying to put the lid back on, well…,it won’t work. How much money and lives have we destroyed for this disgusting evil

Or for a certain old banker.
No-it’s NOT “family.”
Be very careful about making friends with the beast.
Instead of arming Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc.

Thanks mike, for letting me know in the clearest way possible you got the call.
End USAID. No exceptions. If its needed, the free market will find a way to make it happen. Im fine without pencils for a bit.
He got his mind right.
They cut it from 10,000 to like 297 people, they took the lettering off the physical building and are folding the remaining few people into the State department... they ended USAID for all intents and purposes, lol
I think most Americans are perfectly fine with legitimate foreign aid being doled out, especially because foreign aid, when used properly, actually is supposed to benefit US too and actually is a win-win all around. With only 300 people and under the umbrella of State, they can only do so much and it will be much, much easier to keep tabs on what aid they do hand out as well as vetting the aid in the first place so they know it's going to causes that further America's agenda and prosperity.
Someone got to him he doesn't seem the same huh?
I've watched Mike Benz very closely during the past few years. He is extremely sharp. His delivery and demeanor in this interview was way off. Maybe just a bad day (we all have them) but he seemed to be guarding his words.
I was thinking the SAME THING!
Mikey Benz , should get the presidential medal of freedom
"Blah blah blah I got a threatening call yesterday and now we need to keep the blob going for Is. real" thats all I heard..
You need hearing aids...
DO NOT TRUST Mike Benz : he is an israeli spy : he was exposed in 2016 playing a neo-nazi and had to admit he was actually jewish and " just helping the FBI and ADL" , then in 2019 he was caught spying for Israel at his new job in the State Department where he worked as a " communictions expert " , instead of being deported back to Israel he then was promoted after Trump lost the 2020 election.
Benz is wrong. Many of us knew about some of these horrible things going on in other countries. All of us experienced "supply chain" problems during the Covid debacle. We have oil here. We used to be a manufacturing country until companies decided they wanted to use cheaper labor. Frankly, I am tired of shoddy products and changed the way I purchased a long time ago. What we need to concentrate on is trade for the things that we can't grow here--chocolate, coffee, certain fruits, and cultural products.
Thank you.
I despair any time I need a new appliance. I will scour thrift stores for the old stuff. We had an air fryer that lasted one year exactly, and there is no old version. I am hooked on air fried food but I don't want to waste a hundred bucks a year on one. New clothes are total garbage, even the good brands.
Vietnam is making clothes that do not have toxins in the material. Italy makes good cooking utensils. Check these out.

Something is really wrong here. He's struggling too much and it's hard to follow
Thank you I thought it was just me being hard to listen to this guy. Stop go, stop go,stop go,
Agreed, liars have to think about what they say. Truth spills out of the mouth without trying.
Benz has been recalibrated. His clarity is suddenly clouded.
I agree. Not a coherent interview.
- Because, either he's not honest or he's been living under fear of being destroyed by the left. He forgets it's a new and different government and that the majority of the American people want reform.
The term “Mercenary Media” is simply Brilliant
ALL OF A SUDDEN, Benz is panicking, back peddling hard and trying to qualify everything he previously said gaslighting that Empire is not so bad. He's either compromised now or sold out. Tucker is probably even thinking what happened? He won't be back on. This has been a disaster to watch.
Total train wreck
Compromised or sold out, totally.
I know right!
I agree! What is going on with this guy? I disagree with 90 percent of what he said.
Hello!!
Rand Paul (and his father before him) have been exposing this for many years. Rand puts out a list every yr on programs and countries we’re giving fortunes to. It’s just nobody would listen. For those of us who’ve followed Rand and Ron, we’ve known all about this.
Yep. It suddenly takes Elon and his big balls team to expose it? I’m thrilled but Rand & Ron need a Yuge pat on the back. I’ve always wondered how greasy it must feel to have to work among so many unethical crooks. Bet the Paul’s are sleeping good this week!
Ron Paul was a legend!
You're not giving them "to" those countries, you're giving them to corrupt, poison and destroy those countries.
Especially gender studies in Pakistan... I didn't know should I laugh or cry that my tax dollars go there.
God he’s so frustrating! Spit it the hell out! You’re ok with a little slush funding with our money !? I want a freaking refund NOW!!!
The guy is too nuanced.
I think he's worried about the whipsaw in popular opinion that will occur when the Fortune 500 tanks because the whole US economy is predicated on USAID tilting the scales in our favor.
@JoesephBidon "The guy" is the savant who blew this whole thing open and has been screaming about since the first Trump Admin to anyone who'd listen. He's literally spent like 16hrs a day watching their lectures & policy symposiums, researching their grants, following the money, exposing the individuals and NGOs/etc, connecting all of the dots of a system that is intentionally elaborate. You'd be nuanced too if you had all that info in your head and felt like it needed to be shared with the American people. Benz is a national hero and deserves the credit for this trash being shut down.
If that's the takeaway you received from this then you're a moron. Benz has been leading the fight against these ppl since the 1st Trump administration. In no way did he say he's ok with slush funding of our money. Jfc. He said that there are national interest and security implications that have to be considered after its shut down bc a big void will be created. And it can easily just be filled with another US deepstate entity or even a foreign country, and weaponized once again at us if it's not considered. His hope is that we've thought about and are prepared to implement a more legitimate, honest, and transparent entity that conducta foreign policy in our best interest. That's it.
He appears to have a Law degree. Talk is cheap.....He avoids creating waves....
We have our work cut out for us getting "the people" to understand fully the crimes against children, and children as currency...
Mike is missing the part about where much of this money is actually embezzled on the othe side and coming back to officals.
That's what gets them to keep quiet about these operations
Yeah we need to have contractual agreements that any organization receiving US taxpayer funds needs to give full accounting of how those funds were actually spent and legally required to open their books for a full audit whenever demanded. Dont like it then kick rocks no money from us.
Because we know a lot of the money in USAID or through others that seem legit or to a good cause have all sorts of corruption and waste internally and tons of kick back and funneling money into private coffers
@callaway86 yeah, but don't we all know it? and now there is proof. Follow the money. Some people are going to have to pay.
Nobody bought clay pots for 2mil.
They stole the money for them selvs.
Mike sounds like he's actually sad we found out how bad this problem is and is more worried about cutting out the tumor. We have to completely remove all of the tumor...and re-negotiate our aid to other countries with more effective bargaining rather than pushing progressive woke ideologies...assuming we even need to provide any aid in the first place!
Why do we HAVE to help other countries with our tax money?
@@KellyNora-p8q Good point! I have revised my opinion!
Go watch any other interview he's ever given up until this point. He's like a completely different person here, arguing against his own points. It's wild. He's been compromised.
There shouldn't be any aid, period. If a country or regime only exists thanks to foreign aid, it shouldn't exist in the first place. Let nature run its course.
@@KellyNora-p8qit's not help, it's usually bribe money. I lived in a country targeted by this "aid", and it was runied by it

Thank you, Tucker, for having this conversation. The heart surgery analogy resonated. The need for a systematic approach for dismantling each USAID project- separating the "good" and the "bad" requires a deep knowledge of each issue. This shadow currency war goes back decades.. it has done some good and a lot of bad
The big issue is, Benz is arguing that we need to ignore some of our governments bad behavior to protect its image and function. The reason we have an issue today is because we ignore the illegal wrongdoings of the people who run the government. Benz is literally arguing for a status quo, sacrfice a couple eggs to retain the coop. Our system needs to be exposed so we know how to fix it.
No blob no pencils? 😂 what a stupid thing to say. All countries in the world have pencils, and energy, and anything else they need if they can afford to buy. They don't need a criminal blob to obtain any of this things. They TRADE.
Way to see through the smoke screen!
It not literal , it mean symbolic coercion of ressources from nothingness to revelant
He really really is concerning me in this interview
Oh god, just got to that part.Pretty stupid take. Hugely corrupted blob is not needed to have better trade relations.and it is definitely not a net benefit. Reminds me UE, where insanely gigantic blob eatting up most of the productivity exists to allow better trade. As if the second one couldn't exist without the first one.
Like anyone even uses pencils anymore heh

No ,not Cia
He got a call from trump
This or he never thought Trump Would be as bold as to send MUSK INTO USAID & then uncover the CIA’s dirty deeds.
He has changed his tune pretty quickly, maybe they offered him something. USAID needs to be abolished, previous podcasts he spoke differently!
not really its just like that guy who found nuclear bomb or something like that who end up regretting it bcs its not used for something good.. he just worried if something bad would happen when sudden drastic change implemented... or like Alex Jones didnt expect his viewers would terrorize the families of the sandy hook victims... ykwim ? he also doesnt entirely change his mind about USAID

*It is funny that Benz is dancing backward so fast now that his infomation has sunk in for so many people.*
It makes me a little uncomfortable.
I think he might be worried that if this impossible thing he's always wanted happens it could be worse. Like our evil control and hegemony machine collapses and now all hell breaks loose and China takes over, which would be worse - at least for us.

MIKE BENZ is a national treasure! His exposure of all this BS is in every citizens best interests and we should all be better off by him laying it out for us!!!
Its really really bad. I was working for the government back in 2012, and I brought up some of these issues to my leadership, and was told that there were big issues but that there was nothing we could do about it. So happy to see its being exposed.
Mike Benz makes me feel articulate....and I am not at all articulate. Word salad at its finest.
😂😂
Sounds to me like this Benz dude has been told if you like your life find a way to justify some of this BS
- Benz makes it sound like USAID is an OMG! Agency, but the more he explains it, the more he seems to want to defend it. He's trying to rationalize it in his brain.
His tribe benefits from it most.
How is he trying to defend what were doing in other countries?
He sounds bought off
Imagine screaming this truth from the roof tops for years and nobody listens then you finally get vindicated. Ty Mike!!
Rand Paul has been blowing the whistle for decades too and no one listened
Looking for the same result in my own life
It brings to mind the saying "stand by the river long enough... and the bodies of your enemies will float by"... the TRUTH ALWAYS REVEALS ITSELF... 🇺🇸
@@Timotheus-yz3so those results will come in time my friend because you are on the right side of history.
And that’s why I don’t understand Benz’s seeming apprehension when talking about closing this down. We can do good in foreign countries and re-establish an organization that isn’t jeopardized and used as a front for fraud! We just need to audit where and what is being funded, and maybe let the voters in on these decisions and what our tax dollars are being used for!
Paying taxes is like giving your hard earned cash to the government, and then the goverment sets that money on fire and burns you with it
Plus destroys other nations in the name of democracy and “American Interests”
When he’s talking about how we establish destabilizing forces in other nations I could not help but feel this has already been done to our country.
Benz !!$$ who the hell got to you. Your sweating billets in the interview. Your actually sticking up for the “Blob”
100%
I don't know what dude is trying to do... but, he's making an excellent case to shut it completely down, and make Congress start over.
Agreed
Have you ppl really never listened to Benz before? That's exactly what he wants. Only to make certain that the "starting over" part is actually thoroughly thought through so we don't end up in the same exact situation.
@@BillyBuffalo354don’t trust this man.. I do trust MODE; and President Trump..2-8-25 and they are doing a great job!
Thank you America for waking up just in time!!!
It's not just in time. The US has been doing all these "humanitarian" aids for decades. It didn't just started yesterday.
I’m not really sure if it’s in time, hopefully it’s not too late, too turn it around. I do know that a lot of these agencies need to be abolished.
@@earlestes8649I agree, I hope it's not to late🥹
YAY! Love this guy!
EDIT: I spoke too soon. They got to him. He's become a mouthpiece. Literally simping for the domestic enemies. You cannot depend on anyone anymore. I'm done.
You never do evil for evil. Two wrongs NEVER make things Right. YOU never use crazy evil methods to try to control masses of people. Instead you lead with integrity and by example 🇺🇸❤️🌎 You reap what you sow, so ONLY sow GOOD seeds 👍
