0:00

Janet Yellen just visited Ukraine and

0:03

given that she is the Secretary of the

0:06

Treasury Department guess which he did

0:09

she brought the money bags with her

0:11

that's right she took a train right into

0:14

Kiev just like Joe Biden did when Joe

0:16

Biden showed up they made sure to run

0:18

those Air Raid Sirens to make Americans

0:21

at home watching CNN feel bad to send

0:24

more money over to Ukraine but this

0:26

isn't an argument to be political this

0:28

is an argument to say hey why was Janet

0:30

Yellen in Ukrainian was she actually

0:32

delivering more money why yes she was

0:36

let's talk about exactly that because

0:38

it's worth noting that tensions in the

0:40

world are getting tougher and not weaker

0:43

and that's bad because it increases the

0:45

risk of worldwide conflict consider the

0:48

fact that the Wall Street Journal is now

0:50

recording that on nearly a daily

0:52

occurrence U.S fighter jets are being

0:54

intercepted by China over the South

0:56

China Sea as China increases its

0:59

aggressive posture towards the United

1:01

States not only intercepting our fighter

1:03

jets but now potentially threatening to

1:05

supply lethal arms and ammunition To

1:08

Russia in their support in the fight

1:10

against Ukraine China also being the

1:12

same country who got the permissive

1:15

heads up that hey we're going to invade

1:17

Ukraine and of course China is now

1:19

widely believed to have said hey hey you

1:22

gonna do that can you at least wait

1:24

until the Olympics are over and golly

1:26

that's exactly what ended up happening

1:28

now at the same time as this tension is

1:31

going on with China you've got Iran

1:33

looking to set up a lethal drone making

1:37

facility just outside of Moscow to

1:40

manufacture billions of dollars worth of

1:42

Kamikaze drones that are faster and

1:45

stronger to send straight into Ukraine

1:47

with no chance that they get confiscated

1:49

because it'll go from Russian territory

1:51

right into the battlefield this is in

1:53

sharp contrast to the weapons that are

1:56

being supplied from Iran to Yemen so

1:59

that way the houthis can continue their

2:02

fight against surrounding countries like

2:04

the United Arab Emirates the United

2:06

States stealing well stealing seizing I

2:09

should say those weapons from those who

2:12

the rebels now threatening to send those

2:14

weapons to Ukraine against U.N

2:17

conventions to continue this essentially

2:19

proxy World War but we have to listen

2:23

Janet Yellen just went to Ukraine last

2:26

week Biden made the announcement that

2:28

he's going there and Janet Yellen just

2:30

went there as well Janet Yellen what did

2:32

she do when she was there she just

2:34

announced

2:35

1.25 billion dollars of another 10

2:39

billion dollar Aid package to Ukraine

2:42

more money for Ukraine now one of the

2:46

issues that you have with Ukraine is the

2:48

fact that Ukraine's Financial competence

2:50

is potentially being called into

2:52

question there are multiple allegations

2:55

of rampant corruption in Ukraine take

2:58

for example this p peace from the Wilson

3:01

Center fighting corruption in Wartime

3:03

Ukraine and to some regards you can't

3:05

blame that there will be some level of

3:08

corruption everywhere after all on a

3:11

ranking of the 190 countries in the

3:13

world the United States Falls at

3:15

somewhere around position number 26

3:18

which means even the United States is

3:20

deemed to have a level of corruption in

3:22

but when you look at corruption surveys

3:25

there is no European country that is

3:28

deemed by the public to be more corrupt

3:30

than Ukraine that's not me saying it

3:33

it's the European public saying that so

3:37

it's worth noting that we've had

3:39

multiple instances and also resignations

3:41

uh or firings of people who have

3:43

potentially engaged in corruption

3:45

Ukraine now that's not saying that hey

3:47

if you know there's one rotten apple

3:49

everyone is and it's not saying that we

3:51

shouldn't support Ukraine it's just

3:53

suggesting that we want to be careful

3:55

about what is happening and we want to

3:59

be aware of the additional spending and

4:01

where it's going and potentially try to

4:04

be more careful about how money is being

4:07

allocated in Ukraine look for example

4:09

here

4:10

the ministry uh the ministry of defense

4:13

was accused of purchasing uh food at

4:16

prices well above usual retail prices

4:18

this was from a January 21st expose by

4:22

the weekly mirror the investigation

4:24

resulted in the resignation of the

4:26

Deputy minister of defense was

4:29

responsible for logistics for the Army

4:31

and the firing of someone else at the

4:33

ministry of Defense who had signed the

4:35

contracts with the suppliers the

4:38

ministry of Defense then quickly

4:39

distanced themselves from those

4:41

individuals there are multiple other

4:43

counts and allegations here of avoiding

4:46

taxation tax fraud of potential uh

4:49

malicious contracts signed with Airbus

4:52

the French company and potentially other

4:55

contracts being signed with Ukrainian

4:57

aircraft engine companies uh and these

5:01

companies potentially being ironically

5:03

suspected of providing funding and

5:05

support to Russian proxies in terrorists

5:07

so in other words Ukrainian companies

5:09

potentially sending money to to Russian

5:11

proxies then you've also got suspicion

5:14

here by the prosecutor's general office

5:16

suggesting that two former deputy

5:19

directors of state-owned Enterprises had

5:22

engaged in the export and in import of

5:26

military goods and Equipment basically

5:28

uh let me rephrase that the prosecutor

5:30

General's office issued notices of

5:33

suspension to a particular company that

5:36

was supplying military goods and

5:38

Equipment because of fears about either

5:41

embezzling or just straight up

5:44

corruption and this piece goes on and on

5:47

and on there's no question here that

5:49

there are absolutely cases where in any

5:51

government you're going to have levels

5:53

of corruption the problem is the United

5:55

States seems to be sticking its head in

5:57

the sand look here on January 31st the

6:00

U.S treasury Department said that the

6:02

department the treasury Department had

6:04

quote no indication that U.S funds were

6:06

being misused in Ukraine

6:08

you have to be a blind ostrich with your

6:11

head in the sand to suggest or to lie to

6:15

the American public that there is quote

6:17

no indication that funds have been

6:20

misused in Ukraine let's be real there

6:23

are indications that funds are being

6:24

misused in Ukraine and it would be much

6:27

better in my opinion if we actually had

6:30

a United States government that said hey

6:32

look you know what we realize some of

6:34

the money in Ukraine is being misused

6:36

and here's what we're doing about it

6:38

rather than this blind nope nothing's

6:42

wrong attitude this is a problem now

6:45

obviously there's an idea that hey maybe

6:48

we could make progress over here but

6:50

look here's that data that I was talking

6:52

to you about Transparency International

6:54

recently published an index of

6:56

corruption perception for 2022 and it

6:59

showed that Ukraine despite some

7:01

improvement is perceived is still

7:03

perceived still as Europe's most corrupt

7:06

country and is in a 33rd position

7:10

worldwide yikes that's not great

7:14

unfortunately though this war continues

7:17

to rage on and money continues to be

7:19

spent you and and this money that

7:21

continues to be spent makes it very easy

7:23

for people like Tucker Carlson to make

7:25

people even more angry about where money

7:28

is being spent look for example at uh

7:31

latest episode from Tucker Carlson and

7:34

it doesn't help that when you have this

7:36

kind of talk at the same time as our

7:39

government saying oh nope we don't see

7:41

any corruption well of course if you

7:44

have the government on one hand going oh

7:46

we don't see any corruption in Ukraine

7:47

and we know there is of course you're

7:50

going to be able to now create this

7:52

narrative that the U.S is blindly

7:54

sending money over to Ukraine and isn't

7:56

actually caring about it and listen in

7:58

just for a moment we'll only listen

7:59

about 30 45 seconds in rural Alabama

8:02

burning crosses in the front yards of

8:04

terrified sharecroppers to amuse

8:06

ourselves we don't have TV

8:09

Biden gave a speech the other day in

8:11

2023 to denounce lynching as if lynching

8:15

is still happening in the United States

8:18

it all seems a little delusional

8:20

so it was with genuine relief that we

8:23

saw today one of Biden's top cabinet

8:25

officials Janet Yellen who runs the

8:26

treasury Department sign off for Twitter

8:28

account finally leave Washington and

8:31

meet with actual flesh and blood human

8:33

beings who are suffering and not only

8:36

did she meet with them to prove her

8:38

sincerity Janet Yellen brought with her

8:40

a check for a billion dollars

8:42

and we'll admit partisanship aside we

8:44

were happy to see that finally someone

8:46

in the Bible Administration who actually

8:48

cares

8:49

getting on an airplane to show concern

8:52

that's the good news the bad news is

8:54

Jenny Ellen was not in East Palestine

8:56

she was in Ukraine watch

8:59

and today I'm proud to announce the

9:02

transfer of an additional amount of over

9:05

1.2 billion dollars that's the first

9:09

charge of what that 10 billion dollars

9:12

in direct budget support that the United

9:15

States will provide him from the months

9:18

we love you so much that we will give

9:21

you whatever you want anything a new

9:25

bicycle a puppy a pony it's yours we

9:27

love you

9:29

billions more for Ukraine your tax

9:32

dollars but that money is not going to

9:33

be going to the newly poisoned

9:35

communities of Eastern Ohio who cares

9:37

about them it's not going to be

9:38

earmarked for the hundreds of thousands

9:40

of American families who have lost loved

9:43

ones to the opioid epidemic an epidemic

9:45

that was created by Democratic donors at

9:46

Purdue Pharma no that money is going to

9:49

zielinski and his wife in Kiev and that

9:51

money will complement the more than 100

9:53

billion in tax dollars they've already

9:55

received from the U.S treasury

9:57

and you've got to think as they watch

9:58

this tonight assuming they're still TV

10:00

reception in East Palestine the people

10:02

who are stuck there are kicking

10:03

themselves If Only They had paid Joe

10:06

Biden's crackhead son 80 grand a month

10:08

for a no-show job Jenna Yellen might be

10:10

visiting them today

10:11

it seemed like a lot of money at the

10:13

time but that turned out to be the best

10:14

investment those Ukrainian oligarchs

10:16

ever made it was like buying Google

10:18

stock 20 years ago talk about a jackpot

10:21

and by the way nobody understands the

10:23

principles of political we'll come back

10:25

so look another 10 billion dollars

10:29

issued as direct budget support for

10:32

Ukraine why well it's because Ukraine

10:35

expects a 30 billion dollar shortfall

10:37

for electricity heat and water in 2023

10:40

so yet again the United States is

10:42

expected to pick up the tab the European

10:45

Union is also falling behind on its Aid

10:48

promises so while the European Union

10:51

promises to send money to a European

10:54

Ally who is In fairness not part of the

10:57

EU but a European Union the European

11:00

Union who promises to send money to

11:02

Ukraine is falling behind on doing so

11:06

while at the same time Biden and Janet

11:09

Yellen are visiting Kiev and delivering

11:11

checks new and additional 10 billion

11:15

dollars of direct budget support while

11:17

at the same time our Treasury Department

11:19

pretends there's no corruption happening

11:21

in Ukraine look I'm not here to say we

11:24

shouldn't help but I'm here to say some

11:27

accountability and some recognition of

11:29

accountability should be much more of a

11:32

priority as should helping Americans

11:34

where we need it whether it's with an

11:36

unfunded social security safety net for

11:39

the people who need it or our disability

11:42

funds or Medicare funds or how about

11:43

homelessness

11:45

but no with politicians who only care

11:47

about getting reelected like Gavin

11:49

Newsom whom I ran against for governor

11:50

in 2020 and came in second place against

11:54

recall candidates Gavin Newsom would

11:56

rather send stimulus checks to people

11:58

making up to five hundred thousand

12:00

dollars then actually give a damn about

12:02

homelessness or creating additional

12:05

housing even his LA Times mouthpiece has

12:09

criticized his sb7 housing law is

12:12

essentially worthless

12:13

but back to Ukraine what's most

12:15

disgusting is the fact that the European

12:18

Union and countries like Poland are

12:21

saying oh we'll send you tanks we'll

12:24

we'll help you crane they're making

12:26

these grandiose claims of sending money

12:28

in tanks but what do we find out after

12:30

the promises are made Europe isn't

12:33

actually sending the money because

12:34

they're falling behind according to the

12:36

Wall Street Journal they're making it

12:37

very clear in their expose hey Europe

12:40

you're not fault you're not keeping up

12:41

with your promises and what does Poland

12:43

say in interviews well zit tanks we

12:46

promised we don't know if they actually

12:48

work

12:50

ah

12:51

so Ukraine needs more help and who's

12:53

paying for it you well the 98 of you in

12:58

America watching this video are paying

12:59

for it so much for foreign aid it's more

13:02

like usaid now unfortunately what's sad

13:05

about this is now you're continuing the

13:09

proxy war of China supporting Russia

13:12

more and the United States supporting

13:14

Ukraine more everybody else is kind of

13:16

watching it's really turning into a war

13:19

of the biggest powers

13:21

on top of that you do have in a surprise

13:24

agreement and this is really to kind of

13:27

smooth over relations with the United

13:30

States we have to give credit to Saudi

13:33

Arabia Saudi Arabia has announced a 400

13:36

million dollar agreement to support Kiev

13:40

now that sounds great but if we're

13:43

sending over a hundred billion dollars

13:46

thank you Saudi Arabia for the 0.4

13:48

percent

13:49

now there is some good news at least in

13:52

the war in that Russia is trying to prop

13:54

up oil prices in that they've cut oil

13:57

production by about five percent in an

13:59

attempt to raise prices unfortunately

14:02

since their oil price cut oil prices or

14:06

oil uh production cut excuse me oil

14:08

prices have actually come down oil

14:11

prices are now at lower levels than

14:13

where they were before the War Began

14:15

Russia Russia's control over the energy

14:17

markets fortunately is waning now at the

14:21

same time our defense department and our

14:25

very strong lobby of the defense

14:28

industry in the military-industrial

14:30

complex

14:31

is doing everything they can to make

14:33

sure they can now produce weapons

14:34

directly for Ukraine this also according

14:38

to the Wall Street Journal where the

14:40

Wall Street Journal suggests that

14:41

Lockheed Martin is expected to post

14:43

Revenue declines ironically this year

14:46

but they have over 150 billion dollars

14:49

of a backlog of production now producing

14:52

military equipment directly for Ukraine

14:55

as we go through our own stockpile and

14:57

the world starts running out of

14:58

ammunition

15:00

there is now a 150 billion dollar

15:02

backlog of military equipment production

15:06

just for Lockheed Martin that's just one

15:10

of the defense contractors at the same

15:12

time Germany is now preparing to start

15:14

producing fighter jets after Decades of

15:18

not producing fighter jets because the

15:20

world doesn't need more weapons or

15:22

doesn't need less weapons it needs more

15:24

and we're producing and going to produce

15:27

now probably a decade worth of jets

15:30

military equipment and weapons and I

15:33

expect that production will continue

15:34

even after the war in Ukraine either

15:37

stagnates drags on or even ends nobody's

15:41

going to want to be stuck without a

15:44

massive stockpile of weapons which

15:46

unfortunately just sets up for stresses

15:48

into the future so I hate to say it but

15:51

none of this sounds really fantastic and

15:53

a lot of the fingers in my opinion just

15:56

point to our politicians in Washington

15:58

who don't seem to care about proper

16:00

accountability to us as Americans I'm

16:03

not here to say we shouldn't helping

16:05

Ukraine but I am here to say that maybe

16:07

we should be more balanced at how we're

16:09

spending money and demand better

16:11

accountability because right now it just

16:13

seems like we continue to Trend towards

16:15

World War III and that's the last thing

16:17

I want to worry about I want to worry

16:18

about stocks and real estate making sure

16:21

people can get access to building their

16:23

wealth in the easiest way possible

16:25
