The Worsening of Ukraine vs Russia | Tucker Carlson Reaction.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Janet Yellen just visited Ukraine and
given that she is the Secretary of the
Treasury Department guess which he did
she brought the money bags with her
that's right she took a train right into
Kiev just like Joe Biden did when Joe
Biden showed up they made sure to run
those Air Raid Sirens to make Americans
at home watching CNN feel bad to send
more money over to Ukraine but this
isn't an argument to be political this
is an argument to say hey why was Janet
Yellen in Ukrainian was she actually
delivering more money why yes she was
let's talk about exactly that because
it's worth noting that tensions in the
world are getting tougher and not weaker
and that's bad because it increases the
risk of worldwide conflict consider the
fact that the Wall Street Journal is now
recording that on nearly a daily
occurrence U.S fighter jets are being
intercepted by China over the South
China Sea as China increases its
aggressive posture towards the United
States not only intercepting our fighter
jets but now potentially threatening to
supply lethal arms and ammunition To
Russia in their support in the fight
against Ukraine China also being the
same country who got the permissive
heads up that hey we're going to invade
Ukraine and of course China is now
widely believed to have said hey hey you
gonna do that can you at least wait
until the Olympics are over and golly
that's exactly what ended up happening
now at the same time as this tension is
going on with China you've got Iran
looking to set up a lethal drone making
facility just outside of Moscow to
manufacture billions of dollars worth of
Kamikaze drones that are faster and
stronger to send straight into Ukraine
with no chance that they get confiscated
because it'll go from Russian territory
right into the battlefield this is in
sharp contrast to the weapons that are
being supplied from Iran to Yemen so
that way the houthis can continue their
fight against surrounding countries like
the United Arab Emirates the United
States stealing well stealing seizing I
should say those weapons from those who
the rebels now threatening to send those
weapons to Ukraine against U.N
conventions to continue this essentially
proxy World War but we have to listen
Janet Yellen just went to Ukraine last
week Biden made the announcement that
he's going there and Janet Yellen just
went there as well Janet Yellen what did
she do when she was there she just
announced
1.25 billion dollars of another 10
billion dollar Aid package to Ukraine
more money for Ukraine now one of the
issues that you have with Ukraine is the
fact that Ukraine's Financial competence
is potentially being called into
question there are multiple allegations
of rampant corruption in Ukraine take
for example this p peace from the Wilson
Center fighting corruption in Wartime
Ukraine and to some regards you can't
blame that there will be some level of
corruption everywhere after all on a
ranking of the 190 countries in the
world the United States Falls at
somewhere around position number 26
which means even the United States is
deemed to have a level of corruption in
but when you look at corruption surveys
there is no European country that is
deemed by the public to be more corrupt
than Ukraine that's not me saying it
it's the European public saying that so
it's worth noting that we've had
multiple instances and also resignations
uh or firings of people who have
potentially engaged in corruption
Ukraine now that's not saying that hey
if you know there's one rotten apple
everyone is and it's not saying that we
shouldn't support Ukraine it's just
suggesting that we want to be careful
about what is happening and we want to
be aware of the additional spending and
where it's going and potentially try to
be more careful about how money is being
allocated in Ukraine look for example
here
the ministry uh the ministry of defense
was accused of purchasing uh food at
prices well above usual retail prices
this was from a January 21st expose by
the weekly mirror the investigation
resulted in the resignation of the
Deputy minister of defense was
responsible for logistics for the Army
and the firing of someone else at the
ministry of Defense who had signed the
contracts with the suppliers the
ministry of Defense then quickly
distanced themselves from those
individuals there are multiple other
counts and allegations here of avoiding
taxation tax fraud of potential uh
malicious contracts signed with Airbus
the French company and potentially other
contracts being signed with Ukrainian
aircraft engine companies uh and these
companies potentially being ironically
suspected of providing funding and
support to Russian proxies in terrorists
so in other words Ukrainian companies
potentially sending money to to Russian
proxies then you've also got suspicion
here by the prosecutor's general office
suggesting that two former deputy
directors of state-owned Enterprises had
engaged in the export and in import of
military goods and Equipment basically
uh let me rephrase that the prosecutor
General's office issued notices of
suspension to a particular company that
was supplying military goods and
Equipment because of fears about either
embezzling or just straight up
corruption and this piece goes on and on
and on there's no question here that
there are absolutely cases where in any
government you're going to have levels
of corruption the problem is the United
States seems to be sticking its head in
the sand look here on January 31st the
U.S treasury Department said that the
department the treasury Department had
quote no indication that U.S funds were
being misused in Ukraine
you have to be a blind ostrich with your
head in the sand to suggest or to lie to
the American public that there is quote
no indication that funds have been
misused in Ukraine let's be real there
are indications that funds are being
misused in Ukraine and it would be much
better in my opinion if we actually had
a United States government that said hey
look you know what we realize some of
the money in Ukraine is being misused
and here's what we're doing about it
rather than this blind nope nothing's
wrong attitude this is a problem now
obviously there's an idea that hey maybe
we could make progress over here but
look here's that data that I was talking
to you about Transparency International
recently published an index of
corruption perception for 2022 and it
showed that Ukraine despite some
improvement is perceived is still
perceived still as Europe's most corrupt
country and is in a 33rd position
worldwide yikes that's not great
unfortunately though this war continues
to rage on and money continues to be
spent you and and this money that
continues to be spent makes it very easy
for people like Tucker Carlson to make
people even more angry about where money
is being spent look for example at uh
latest episode from Tucker Carlson and
it doesn't help that when you have this
kind of talk at the same time as our
government saying oh nope we don't see
any corruption well of course if you
have the government on one hand going oh
we don't see any corruption in Ukraine
and we know there is of course you're
going to be able to now create this
narrative that the U.S is blindly
sending money over to Ukraine and isn't
actually caring about it and listen in
just for a moment we'll only listen
about 30 45 seconds in rural Alabama
burning crosses in the front yards of
terrified sharecroppers to amuse
ourselves we don't have TV
Biden gave a speech the other day in
2023 to denounce lynching as if lynching
is still happening in the United States
it all seems a little delusional
so it was with genuine relief that we
saw today one of Biden's top cabinet
officials Janet Yellen who runs the
treasury Department sign off for Twitter
account finally leave Washington and
meet with actual flesh and blood human
beings who are suffering and not only
did she meet with them to prove her
sincerity Janet Yellen brought with her
a check for a billion dollars
and we'll admit partisanship aside we
were happy to see that finally someone
in the Bible Administration who actually
cares
getting on an airplane to show concern
that's the good news the bad news is
Jenny Ellen was not in East Palestine
she was in Ukraine watch
and today I'm proud to announce the
transfer of an additional amount of over
1.2 billion dollars that's the first
charge of what that 10 billion dollars
in direct budget support that the United
States will provide him from the months
we love you so much that we will give
you whatever you want anything a new
bicycle a puppy a pony it's yours we
love you
billions more for Ukraine your tax
dollars but that money is not going to
be going to the newly poisoned
communities of Eastern Ohio who cares
about them it's not going to be
earmarked for the hundreds of thousands
of American families who have lost loved
ones to the opioid epidemic an epidemic
that was created by Democratic donors at
Purdue Pharma no that money is going to
zielinski and his wife in Kiev and that
money will complement the more than 100
billion in tax dollars they've already
received from the U.S treasury
and you've got to think as they watch
this tonight assuming they're still TV
reception in East Palestine the people
who are stuck there are kicking
themselves If Only They had paid Joe
Biden's crackhead son 80 grand a month
for a no-show job Jenna Yellen might be
visiting them today
it seemed like a lot of money at the
time but that turned out to be the best
investment those Ukrainian oligarchs
ever made it was like buying Google
stock 20 years ago talk about a jackpot
and by the way nobody understands the
principles of political we'll come back
so look another 10 billion dollars
issued as direct budget support for
Ukraine why well it's because Ukraine
expects a 30 billion dollar shortfall
for electricity heat and water in 2023
so yet again the United States is
expected to pick up the tab the European
Union is also falling behind on its Aid
promises so while the European Union
promises to send money to a European
Ally who is In fairness not part of the
EU but a European Union the European
Union who promises to send money to
Ukraine is falling behind on doing so
while at the same time Biden and Janet
Yellen are visiting Kiev and delivering
checks new and additional 10 billion
dollars of direct budget support while
at the same time our Treasury Department
pretends there's no corruption happening
in Ukraine look I'm not here to say we
shouldn't help but I'm here to say some
accountability and some recognition of
accountability should be much more of a
priority as should helping Americans
where we need it whether it's with an
unfunded social security safety net for
the people who need it or our disability
funds or Medicare funds or how about
homelessness
but no with politicians who only care
about getting reelected like Gavin
Newsom whom I ran against for governor
in 2020 and came in second place against
recall candidates Gavin Newsom would
rather send stimulus checks to people
making up to five hundred thousand
dollars then actually give a damn about
homelessness or creating additional
housing even his LA Times mouthpiece has
criticized his sb7 housing law is
essentially worthless
but back to Ukraine what's most
disgusting is the fact that the European
Union and countries like Poland are
saying oh we'll send you tanks we'll
we'll help you crane they're making
these grandiose claims of sending money
in tanks but what do we find out after
the promises are made Europe isn't
actually sending the money because
they're falling behind according to the
Wall Street Journal they're making it
very clear in their expose hey Europe
you're not fault you're not keeping up
with your promises and what does Poland
say in interviews well zit tanks we
promised we don't know if they actually
work
ah
so Ukraine needs more help and who's
paying for it you well the 98 of you in
America watching this video are paying
for it so much for foreign aid it's more
like usaid now unfortunately what's sad
about this is now you're continuing the
proxy war of China supporting Russia
more and the United States supporting
Ukraine more everybody else is kind of
watching it's really turning into a war
of the biggest powers
on top of that you do have in a surprise
agreement and this is really to kind of
smooth over relations with the United
States we have to give credit to Saudi
Arabia Saudi Arabia has announced a 400
million dollar agreement to support Kiev
now that sounds great but if we're
sending over a hundred billion dollars
thank you Saudi Arabia for the 0.4
percent
now there is some good news at least in
the war in that Russia is trying to prop
up oil prices in that they've cut oil
production by about five percent in an
attempt to raise prices unfortunately
since their oil price cut oil prices or
oil uh production cut excuse me oil
prices have actually come down oil
prices are now at lower levels than
where they were before the War Began
Russia Russia's control over the energy
markets fortunately is waning now at the
same time our defense department and our
very strong lobby of the defense
industry in the military-industrial
complex
is doing everything they can to make
sure they can now produce weapons
directly for Ukraine this also according
to the Wall Street Journal where the
Wall Street Journal suggests that
Lockheed Martin is expected to post
Revenue declines ironically this year
but they have over 150 billion dollars
of a backlog of production now producing
military equipment directly for Ukraine
as we go through our own stockpile and
the world starts running out of
ammunition
there is now a 150 billion dollar
backlog of military equipment production
just for Lockheed Martin that's just one
of the defense contractors at the same
time Germany is now preparing to start
producing fighter jets after Decades of
not producing fighter jets because the
world doesn't need more weapons or
doesn't need less weapons it needs more
and we're producing and going to produce
now probably a decade worth of jets
military equipment and weapons and I
expect that production will continue
even after the war in Ukraine either
stagnates drags on or even ends nobody's
going to want to be stuck without a
massive stockpile of weapons which
unfortunately just sets up for stresses
into the future so I hate to say it but
none of this sounds really fantastic and
a lot of the fingers in my opinion just
point to our politicians in Washington
who don't seem to care about proper
accountability to us as Americans I'm
not here to say we shouldn't helping
Ukraine but I am here to say that maybe
we should be more balanced at how we're
spending money and demand better
accountability because right now it just
seems like we continue to Trend towards
World War III and that's the last thing
