00:12:37.000There's not a lot new there, but it's also funny.
00:12:40.000And then this has been making the rounds quite a bit.
00:12:42.000RFK Jr.' 's viral clip where he's talked about BlackRock.
00:12:45.000He's talked about the war in Ukraine, defense contractors.
00:12:47.000It's something that a lot of people have shared.
00:12:48.000And then, of course, in social media, it's just been broadly labeled misinformation.
00:12:53.000Now, there are some claims in there that are true.
00:12:55.000There are some claims in there that are important for you to know.
00:12:59.000And there are some claims that are not necessarily fully accurate.
00:13:01.000So that's the problem now, where you just have these companies, of course, who are favored by our governments, who can just broadly say, Uh, misinformation.
00:13:08.000And then that confuses you, where you don't know what's true and what is not true.
00:13:12.000That's why we make all the references publicly available.
00:13:14.000You can see the link in the description.
00:19:08.000Tuesday evening, so we are Wednesday, if you're watching right now, we are Wednesday at 10.20 Eastern.
00:19:15.000Tuesday evening, so last night, the House of Representatives voted to impeach the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas.
00:19:25.000And we're not going to spend too much time on this because we talked about it, but there is a double standard here where hopefully people, like, hey, here's a question to you, conservatives.
00:19:34.000Republicans, do you always want to lose?
00:19:37.000Because you compare how the left gets in line for people like Mayorkas, or you compare how the left gets in line for people like Menendez.
00:19:44.000And then, you know, these purity tests that Republicans put up.
00:19:48.000And I'm not saying that you should put up someone who doesn't actually share your values, but let's start with Mayorkas impeached, because that's funny.
00:19:54.000On this vote, the yeas are 214 and the nays are 213.
00:22:05.000First off, we're going to bring up CNN right now because CNN right now, they're discussing Speaker Johnson downplays GOP laws in New York special.
00:22:12.000And I've been watching CNN this morning.
00:22:44.000He always looks like, I swear to God, when he asks a question, there's a moment where he always looks like somebody threw him into a cold plunge.
00:23:53.000Here's the thing, let me give you some, just because this will come up again and a lot of you will say, didn't we already cover this story?
00:23:57.000The impeachment vote here, by the way, it doesn't remove him from office, just to be clear, goes to Senate for trial.
00:24:01.000It's likely going to go nowhere because you have Baby Eater Schumer leading.
00:25:00.000We can now project Tom Swayze as the winner- Pause!
00:25:05.000Before we move on, and we'll get back to the serious nature of this program, the reporter on the right looks like a kid's make-a-wish in a donated wig in front of a green screen because his last wish was to fake report.
00:25:42.000...is projecting that Tom Swasey has won, or will win, New York's third congressional district.
00:25:50.000Let's go back to Steve Kornacki at the big board.
00:25:53.000Yeah, Lawrence, I mean, we were saying it without saying it, I think, a few minutes ago when we were talking, but basically what we were talking about is what just happened.
00:26:31.000That being said, look at how Democrats, how they step in line for, we're talking about Mayorkas, how they held the line on Senator Bob Menendez, right?
00:26:37.000And keep in mind, this is all despite a grand jury, you know, indicting Menendez for bribes, for taking bribes.
00:26:43.000You'd think that'd be a disqualification.
00:26:46.000Mayorkas, you're talking about a national security, well as far as at the border threat that we have not seen in our lifetime.
00:26:51.000He's very likely not going to be convicted in the Senate because it's always a guarantee that pretty much all of the Democrats will step in.
00:26:56.000It's very very rare that you see Democrats reach across the aisle.
00:26:58.000When they say bipartisan, what they mean is we want to pressure Republicans and then lay the blame with them.
00:27:02.000Remember we called that, we said that's what they're gonna do with the border bill?
00:27:04.000They basically just reintroduced the bill without money for the border and now it's the Ukraine bill.
00:28:42.000So what do you think the most, and you can comment below, what do you think the most important action is for Republicans to take on this, at this point, as we're dealing with Mayorkas?
00:28:49.000And what do you think will come of it?
00:28:50.000I'm not a micro-political guy, but look, we have a pretty good idea as to where this is going to go, so I don't want to give it that much time, even though I know everyone is talking about it, they've asked us to cover it.
00:29:01.000It's a live show, Monday through, weekdays, 10 a.m.
00:29:03.000Eastern, and of course, none of this happens if you don't join Mug Club, $89 annually, $9 to go, Mugless.
00:29:09.000And the free content, you need to know, goes away.
00:29:11.000So even if you are, you know, someone who watched this for free and you don't watch the additional hour and you don't watch Brian Callen's show, The Hodgwin Show, Guns and Gear, Alex Jones, Nick DiPaolo, you don't care about the investigative journalism unit, this free show goes away completely because we are monetized nowhere else.
00:33:41.000You can't high kick your way out of this one.
00:33:44.000So let's go to the RFK Jr., the viral clip.
00:33:47.000Have you, question for you, have you seen this clip?
00:33:50.000It's been making the rounds and a lot of people have shared it and some people have been asking us to fact check it because it's been labeled as misinformation.
00:33:57.000So you can comment, you can hit the like button because that helps with the algorithm if that means anything anymore.
00:34:01.000So, I believe this happened over the weekend, and this is – we'll just kind of show you, I guess, the bulk of it right now, and then go through it point by point.
00:36:17.000Now, I do think that it's important to bring this up because a lot of people, if you don't understand the motivation, we had so many arguments here today before going into this show, if you don't understand the motivation, then you're not going to at all understand the solution.
00:36:29.000And that also will determine the type of treaties that you offer.
00:36:32.000Look, you may disagree with him, you may think that Putin is a totalitarian bastard, and rightfully so.
00:36:39.000But, to act as though there's no legitimate grievance would be to ignore a huge portion of the Russian people, and by the way, some of the Ukrainian people who identify as ethnic Russians.
00:36:49.000It doesn't mean that they are justified, but you need to understand what their justification is and what kind of diplomacy or attempts have taken place.
00:37:09.000Now you can say the agreement should change, but you also would have to acknowledge why Russia might be concerned about the agreement changing.
00:37:16.000They also demanded that Ukraine accept the loss of Crimea and the breakaway regions of Donbass.
00:37:23.000Then in late March 2022, Ukraine will not join NATO and they will stay non-nuclear.
00:37:37.000Ukraine demanded that they receive security guarantees from countries like China, Russia, and France, that they would have a 15-year consultation period on Crimea, and that Ukraine reserves the right to reconquer Donbass.
00:37:48.000Okay, well nothing else really matters, because they're going, alright, we want Donbass.
00:37:54.000Okay, well then, do we still need to write the rest?
00:37:57.000But at some point we can fight over this and figure out, you know, if this is going to come back.
00:38:00.000I mean, you know, Vladimir Putin has a policy of going into these countries where there's ethnic Russian bases that used to be a part of the USSR that are not a part of them now, and basically saying, well hey, it's because there's an ethnic group in here, I gotta come in there.
00:38:11.000Georgia being an example, killing 25,000 of his own citizens.
00:38:42.000I think it's nine different times since the 90s.
00:38:45.000You could talk about a guy who's been in power for 25 years.
00:38:48.000So, you do have to take into account, the world has to do something when, for the ninth time, maybe the eighth time, he's come into a sovereign country and just rolled into the tanks.
00:40:49.000So Russians fail to take Kiev, Ukrainians obviously then claim to have discovered war crimes, and then Boris Johnson, this is true, Putin was not lying about this, pressured Ukraine to not negotiate with Putin.
00:41:01.000And that's why it goes into some of the other claims that RFK has made.
00:41:04.000And look, he's not accurate on all the specifics, but I do think we need to Allow some room here for chicken or the egg.
00:41:13.000We have been in a state of perpetual war.
00:41:15.000And if you wanted to orchestrate a conflict internationally, right now with Russia, to continue a state of perpetual war, this is how you would do it.
00:43:09.000When was the last time you went to a, I don't know, let's go through it, a Russian restaurant, a Russian laundromat?
00:43:14.000If you're an entrepreneur in that country, you can just have your company taken.
00:43:19.000So he said we weren't allowed to join the Western economy.
00:43:22.000There were so many Western people, and I know people who actually tried to start businesses in Russia because there was so much money, and what would happen is you start a business and thugs would come in and just take your business.
00:43:35.000Yeah, it just made it impossible for any kind of... no one I know in Europe or in the United States would ever invest in Russia, because it was basically impossible.
00:43:43.000Well, not only that, though, but you have to also understand sanctions, you have to also understand the policy of isolationism of Russia.
00:43:48.000Which they've earned to an extent, but you're also talking about the Cold War.
00:43:51.000Yeah, but after the Cold War would have been a time to say, like, alright, okay, let's open this up a little bit, and we never did.
00:44:30.000Because then that country has to conform its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications, which means certain companies, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed get a trapped market.
00:44:45.000No, fact check, that is absolutely true.
00:44:51.000contractors did encourage NATO expansion.
00:44:53.000So after you had the Cold War, after the Cold War, you had Poland and you had, there was these, there's Poland and the Warsaw Pact countries.
00:45:51.000If you look at the specifications that are set, you will say, this doesn't make sense
00:45:54.000because you claim the Geneva Convention when it's convenient for you,
00:45:57.000but you do this with ammunition, only this ammunition is allowed,
00:46:01.000but then hold on a second, what about how we deal with urban warfare?
00:46:03.000And then these bombs are allowed, none of it adds up.
00:46:05.000We can do a whole segment on that where when you look at something
00:46:08.000and there's an alarming amount of inconsistency, you say, okay, this isn't necessarily
00:46:12.000about what's safer or what's best for human rights.
00:46:15.000There are certain people who are benefiting.
00:46:16.000And I also thought that the whole, I mean, I understand like limiting civilian casualties, but if you're a soldier on the battlefield, the whole point is to kill them.
00:46:24.000Why would you want to make something less deadly?
00:46:27.000The other thing that you have to keep in mind that's very important when it comes to the military-industrial complex is that it is real in the sense that we've never seen this kind of consolidation of power.
00:46:35.000There used to be a hundred military contractors.
00:47:29.000This is the part of this that I was not aware of, that they had to conform to kind of NATO guidelines on this.
00:47:33.000I would love to see how those guidelines came into being, like, hey, you have to use this specific thing, and here's kind of whatever fabricated reason.
00:47:39.000I'm not saying that those exist, but I'm pretty sure those probably exist.
00:47:42.000That you have to do this, and did the military contractors, did they lobby to get them Maybe the exclusive right, because they happen to make something that fits what they're lobbying for, and now they can be the only person on the planet to sell that particular weapon?
00:47:55.000I don't want to speak out of turn, but you have entire firearms companies out there that basically kind of sell to civilians so they can check that box, and then they're actually anti-Second Amendment.
00:48:04.000They go, we're not really a civilian firearm company, we just exist to serve giant military contracts.
00:48:30.000And it always sort of grinds my gears when something goes out and people go, I'm at the point where I don't know what it sounds true, a lot of it is, and some of the specifics are not.
00:48:41.000So he goes on to say, all right, we've connected these dots, Russia, the terms for peace, you've been lied to about that, military-industrial complex, defense contractors, that part is irrefutably true.
00:48:52.000And then he connects this to, and BlackRock owns the defense contractors.
00:51:14.000That's what happened with the big banks, that's what happened with the airline industries, that's what happened with the health insurance industry, and that's what happened with the big three.
00:51:20.000I'll distill it down to the big three, the auto manufacturers, because it's something that you can understand.
00:51:24.000This happened under, I can't remember the name of the initiative, but under Barack Obama.
00:52:08.000Now we actually have a shortage of SUVs.
00:52:09.000And then in California, they had laws that said you can only have X number of SUVs in a lot because they were trying to artificially influence and manipulate the market.
00:52:18.000It doesn't matter anywhere else in the free market.
00:52:21.000GM would say, well, we're not going to make more cars that people aren't buying.
00:52:24.000You have to, because the government tells you those are the cars you better create or else.
00:52:28.000They say, by the way, once you go bankrupt, we'll just bail you out with more taxpayer funds.
00:52:32.000Same thing happens with big banks, and the same thing will happen, they promise will happen, with these giant corporations like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
00:52:58.000But my problem with RFK is that when he says that BlackRock owns these companies, which they don't, it's the equivalent of what he said on Rogan's podcast where he said 5G causes brain tumors and he is representing clients who have brain tumors as a result of their cell phone.
00:53:17.000And when pressed on that, he said, well now we're getting into an area I don't have expertise in.
00:53:22.000But it's not the same as that claim though.
00:53:24.000He doesn't even have a fundamental understanding of what BlackRock does.
00:53:28.000And by defending BlackRock, it's a service that allows you to invest very cheaply in the S&P 500.
00:53:35.000So the idea that they actually go into Lockheed and Raytheon and have influence would be a violation, it's illegal, it would be a violation of their fiduciary duty.
00:53:43.000Oh yeah, because nothing illegal ever happens with giant equity funds.
00:53:46.000When RFK does not do his due diligence, he doesn't have an even fundamental understanding of what BlackRock is.
00:55:52.000You had Joe Biden, former Vice President Joe Biden, respect the office, who said, uh, yeah, I know it's a violation, uh, of constitutionally, and the Supreme Court's gonna They're going to obviously kick it out, but we'll have a few months before then.
00:56:20.000I'm talking about there are a lot of people, at one point in time, that's how Arnold made his money when he first came here, you own a few properties, you rent them out.
00:56:26.000That's part of the American dream at one point in time.
00:56:28.000Oh, wait, the government steps in and says, renters, you don't have to pay.
00:56:31.000Hey, hold on a second, they pay me, so I, you have to pay, the bank's going to take it.
00:56:36.000These properties, single-family housing units, get purchased by BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, And they get to consolidate it and create an entire generation of renters.
00:56:46.000You can go out here in Texas, and there are people, you know, we have people who move here from across the country when we make new hires.
00:57:21.000We use the poor class really as a victim that we hold out So that then we can enrich people at the top.
00:57:27.000And you end up with people getting richer, richer, richer, in the name of helping the most poor among us, meanwhile the middle class people who have saved.
00:57:34.000If you are actually at a distinct disadvantage, and this is because of the government, and this is because of companies like BlackRock, and it's one and the same when you're talking about Chase, when you're talking about whatever it is.
00:57:42.000I'm talking about governments setting terms and never ending bailouts.
00:57:46.000You are worse off if you went, for example, through the 2008 crisis.
00:57:51.000And rather than buying a house you couldn't afford, you decided to save money so that you could get a down payment When the market would recorrect itself and waited until, let's say, 2009.
00:58:01.000You would be worse off than someone who overspent, who overextended themselves, and was bailed out by the government in the name of diversity.
00:58:49.000So if you think that people are going to be renting because interest rates are too high and that nobody can afford their house, which is a fact.
01:01:21.000They want us to take down your video, you didn't break any laws, you did your job correctly, we don't give a damn and they own a lot of my company.
01:01:27.000For him to say that shows you the influence they have on CEOs whether or not they ever even use it.
01:01:35.000Chris's mind goes to immediately, they could dump my stock and come up with a really good reason to make sure they're taking care of the investors and following the law, right?
01:02:05.000So in 2017, obviously we talked about this, Larry Fink basically goes out and says we have to force behavioral change.
01:02:10.000If he has no power, if he has no influence, he can't do it.
01:02:13.000Now I know what you're going to say because we talked about this, Brian, that he had to go out and correct it, but only because he got in trouble!
01:02:18.000Not because he doesn't believe it and still want to do it.
01:02:21.000We're going to continue this after this segment on Mug Club.
01:02:25.000We were going to play Pokemon a racial slur, but I think we can continue this.
01:02:28.000The problem is, too big to fail, and it's predicated not just on, well it's certainly not predicated on honest business dealings, it is predicated on a worldview.
01:02:37.000And the worldview right now is the world economic forum.
01:02:40.000The worldview right now is, if you look at BlackRock, you look at where their CEO is lined up, is an open borders policy.
01:02:46.000The worldview that is shared by elites in government, and elites at these giant companies, who by the way were bigger Then the governments of the greatest empires that have existed throughout human history, if you understand their power, let alone big tech, they base it on a worldview.
01:03:03.000They go, the policy is going to be favorable to you.
01:03:05.000If you do our bidding as it relates to DEI, if you do our bidding as it relates to transitioning to energy, if you do that, you're too big to fail, you never have to worry about going bankrupt.
01:04:40.000I think he's referring to the 2018, and credit to Ginger Snap who did this, the privatization law.
01:04:45.000And this means that in order to receive IMF, meaning the International Monetary Fund, in order to receive funding Ukraine, with certain state-owned enterprises, would have to be sold to private owners.
01:04:59.000Now, to be clear, the Ukrainian government still owns plenty of assets, and we tried to find the substantiation for his claim here.
01:06:27.000mentions, they do have business stakes in Ukrainian agriculture, but really it's that they help finance Ukrainian oligarchs who control the land.
01:06:35.000But they do not Oh, meaning these companies, any actual land in Ukraine.
01:06:40.000Foreign ownership of Ukrainian land is illegal.
01:06:42.000Which, hey, we might want to tear a page from their book looking at you, China!
01:07:27.000But here's another claim that he made, and we're fact-checking the fact-checkers because they just want to broadly say all of this is false.
01:08:00.000Now here's the thing, he's speaking in absolutes, but the spirit of it, the truth,
01:08:05.000yeah. So BlackRock has been tapped to guide reconstruction in Ukraine. And this is where
01:08:10.000we did that segment on McKinsey, not too long ago. I don't think that's true.
01:08:14.000So along with JPMorgan and McKinsey, the firm will advise, right, we've talked about the consultant class, they will advise on the Ukrainian development fund, and of course the firms, they were courted by Zelensky, there was a lot of shoulder rubbing, but former Vice President Biden did not give out the contract.
01:08:33.000Now, he created favorable conditions For that contract and it's not just black rock again mckinsey,
01:08:39.000which is in my opinion just as nefarious It's an entire organization that provides consulting go and
01:08:44.000watch that, you know Let's link that in the description of the site because
01:08:47.000everyone talks about black rock and a lot of people ignore the influence of mckinsey
01:08:50.000Um, but here's an actual quote from brennan hall one of the executives at black rock. He said
01:08:55.000It's an opportunity to quote socialize the idea of the fund and its mission
01:09:00.000Which is to quote attract as much private sector capital into the reconstruction of ukraine
01:09:07.000So it would guide capital to attract private investments.
01:09:10.000And by the way, other entities, not just BlackRock, who are going to be involved with the reconstruction, World Bank, the EU, of course Britain, and there are a bunch of other private firms, just to be clear.
01:09:19.000So this is one of those things, before we get into it, look.
01:09:23.000I always want to make sure that we're as clear as possible.
01:09:26.000But I also understand you could be watching right now and you're a surgeon.
01:09:29.000You could be a genius, and you don't necessarily understand the world of high finance.
01:09:33.000So a lot of the time, people make it seem as though you don't understand economic policy, just like people say you don't understand foreign policy.
01:09:38.000Well, hold on a second, you don't have to to know that there were no new wars started under Donald Trump.
01:09:41.000Hold on a second, you don't have to understand quantitative easing, that the too-big-to-fail policies are not good.
01:09:48.000Just like I don't need to be a surgeon to understand that Dr. Ben Carson, despite the fact that he speaks like he's in half-speed on YouTube, was the first to separate conjoined twins at the head.
01:09:58.000So, the thing that really bothers me is you have places like CNN and MSNBC and ABC and, you know, Colbert, those places.
01:10:08.000And they cater to people being idiots.
01:10:10.000Then you have this world of intelligentsia, and even yes, the conservative non-profits and think tanks, where they try and tell you, you wouldn't really understand this, it's high finance, beige books, what are you talking about?
01:13:08.000His claims need to be taken seriously because we have claims from, yeah, the initial claims, yes, and we can, we'll disagree on this, we'll continue on Mug Club, but Again, you do need to have someone who's providing some other perspective.
01:13:20.000And look, he's a third-party candidate.
01:13:35.000But it doesn't really matter necessarily whether, you know, if you have defense contractors or hedge funds or if they're predators or scavengers.
01:13:41.000When you take a bird's eye view on this, you do end up seeing the same people benefiting.
01:13:47.000And what it is in this country is class warfare where the most poor among us who are not contributing, let's be clear, 40% of Americans pay nothing in federal income tax.
01:13:56.000are the beneficiaries and then the ultra-wealthy. It's that big swath in the middle of middle-class
01:14:02.000Americans, the people who run... by the way, when I say middle-class Americans, I also mean people
01:14:05.000running businesses that are maybe five, ten, fifty million, hundred million dollar businesses. That's
01:14:11.000nothing compared to what you see with BlackRock or giant airline manufacturers.
01:14:15.000I don't even know if we've done the segment on airlines.
01:14:18.000Sorry, airline manufacturers, airline companies, and the manufacturers too, by the way, which a lot of it comes back to Boeing.
01:14:23.000But their planes are working like a charm right now.
01:15:00.000If you look at any industry where there is an unbelievable amount, an uncharacteristically high, as it relates to the free market, amount of intervention and red tape, these are the places that you hate doing business with the most.
01:15:25.000Well, we're talking about the goldfish bag being one and a half ounces smaller.
01:15:30.000I still have to pay for checked bags and risk being a victim of the knockout game at the Spirit Terminal!
01:15:36.000So my point here is, yeah, you take a bird's eye view, too big to fail applies to banks, it applies to giant companies in the United States, and it certainly is at play as it relates to international conflict.
01:16:26.000I want to transport you back to NOFX Rock Against Bush, right?
01:16:32.000When we had Rage Against the Machine, Code Pink, they're protesting outside the White House.
01:16:37.000Every single Democrat and every single person in leftist media right now is pro-war.
01:16:46.000And if you, by the way, who are conservative, you likely supported the war in Afghanistan.
01:16:50.000You likely wanted to kick some ass after September 11th.
01:16:53.000And you were painted as a gun-toting redneck.
01:16:56.000Today, the entire Democrat Party and their lackeys in media and big tech have decided that a war, to a bill right now of $150 billion, I believe pledged, when you add it all in, if this $60 billion gets passed, they're trying to tell you that you are a fascist.
01:17:15.000That you are someone who doesn't care about your country if you don't believe in foreign wars, in foreign interventions.
01:17:27.000Well, you would have to draw, you could only say, this is for me, meaning the Democrat Party, the party of the working class, they're for me because the biggest threat that I am facing at now 11-18 Eastern, Valentine's Day 2024, is Russia.
