Trying to get it fixed up right now we’re updating the whole website so we’re doing some big updates right now but I want to talk to you about something interesting which is we’ve been talking a while about the anti-woke protests and about how different organizations are well kind of on the
Run from conservatives who are just plain old refusing to buy what they have to offer Anheuser-Busch you know kind of they’re trying to play Both Sides still they joined the Gay Pride parades when you had uh the Gay Pride people walking down the streets of New York shouting
Were here were queer and we’re coming for your children and we’re stripping naked in the and bathing in the fountains in front of kids and riding bicycles naked and showing their genitalia to Children uh it’s not a not a good image for Bud Light given the
Well bad image they already have and so what do they do simultaneously while they’re supporting that they go and then they try to create this commercial of people being goofballs ahead of Summer like can’t get in their hammocks properly and so on and people are fed up
Now where are things at and I should be clear you know the issue with a lot of the Gay Pride stuff is more that people are concerned it’s coming for their kids and so you know walking down the street saying we’re coming for your children uh
Is is what I think people are most concerned about with that that being said though let me show you what’s happening now because frankly it looks like Bud Light is has lost the war or lost this battle and very likely they’re not going to be the first big company to fall
They have lost roughly a quarter of their business and that quarter of their business is not likely going to be coming back at least not in the foreseeable future let me show you Epoch time says Bud Light will permanently lose nearly a fourth of its business according to analysts
And it says it says some of Bud light’s problems in the wake of a boycott over its partnership with Dylan Mulvaney the trans influencer could be permanent according to an analyst in a new note about the beleaguered brand and they said quote We Believe recent underperformance implies a permanent reduction in Abi’s U.S
Business and Deutsche Bank analyst mitt Colbert Colette wrote in Barrens referring to Anheuser-Busch and they added our proprietary survey data suggest these headwinds are likely to fade even if we do not expect the U.S business ever to fully recover from its current challenges you hear that folks they’re saying ever
Ever to fully recover they’re suggesting this is permanent and what does it tell you when a company is estimated to permanently lose a quarter of its business and I would say this is a conservative estimate no pun intended with a conservative movement because I’d say the conservatives are probably going
To be cut deeper into it but I’d say it’s a conservative estimate because I think it’s probably going to be a lot more than just a quarter unless people unless guys go to the bar right you can imagine a bunch of guys sitting at a bar and they’re drinking whatever beers they
Have and they order a Bud Light for their friend by ordering a Bud Light for their friend we’re by jokingly stating he’ll have a Bud Light they’re secretly making fun of their friend you see that that is now the image Bud Light has it’s it’s not a positive image that being
Said Anheuser-Busch is more than just Bud Light and they’re saying that this is this is cutting into Anheuser-Busch in its entirety what does that mean then for this anti-woke movement well it means for the anti-woke movement uh essentially they’ve they’ve won they they’ve won their first major battle and very likely
They’re going to pick their next Target I’d say probably pretty soon Target well speaking of which Target is probably going to be one of the big ones but for other companies engaging in these types of practices associating with their brands with things that have values that their audiences do not support while
They could face the same fate and for the investment firms pushing this kind of stuff they are doing it now understanding the risks understanding that their company the company they’re backing and forcing to adopt these woke policies could be next and that means the money they put in will be dissolved
Now a bit more on this Progressive leaders are being encouraged to buy media Outlets to boost the influence their influence over Americans Epoch times also has this story get this a recent report encourages Progressive leaders in the United States to buy or collaborate with media outlets and influence channels in order to encounter
These supposed dominance of conservative media in the country like kind of like George Soros bailing out Vice news or the whole thing with BuzzFeed just recently it says the report released this month characterizes the demise oh here you go of left-wing Outlets such as BuzzFeed news and the
Bankruptcy of Vice media as signs of a time of extreme transformation in the world of news and media they cite an economist yougov survey and the report notes that the liberal that liberal or Progressive media reaches the lowest share of Americans and reaches less than half of the number of consumers reached
By conservative media it calls for Liberal supporters to make more investments in for-profit media companies and social media influencers now if uh these types of media that cater to far left ideologies I’d argue even Center left is not the big of a deal I’d argue like um you know
Libertarians are honestly more Center left these days uh but I’d argue there’s even a market for that the problem is the far left ones and the problem is most of the establishment media have gone very very very far left and they’re finding it’s not a winning proposition a
Lot of companies that are surviving in that field have Diversified their coverage New York Times is like getting involved in sports coverage and they make a lot of money off puzzles and the things of that sort of their their iPhone puzzle game and things like this they’re diversifying it all meaning
The old school news business which is their main business is not as profitable as it used to be and why is that well apparently it’s because the conservative media are the ones eating into their profits which is why they’re being encouraged now to buy conservative media I think we can look
At what happened to FOX News as maybe some writing on the wall of what that looks like when leftist looks like leftist agendas overtake what was once a conservative media and we can look at the viewer ratings and so on of fox owned by Disney Corp by the way and what
That may what that may resemble that being said um let me show you something else as well well briefly on that I want to explain kind of my take on that it’s terrible what’s happening in the media industry that people turn to news in order to be informed of what’s
Happening in the world but with news outlets begin serving special interest or are merely existing for the sake of trying to alter people’s political viewpoints rather than try to present them with an accurate picture of whatever is true or false or whatever is good or bad right you present
Information as it is and let people decide whether they support it or not or decide you know which which side of the line they decide to fall on when media began trying to alter things in an attempt to push one specific uh one specific narrative well that’s when you
End up with problems like this uh real quick folks those of you on YouTube were not going to jump to Epoch TV today we’re updating the website and so uh sorry those of you jumped over for me block TV yeah we’re having issues today just because again we’re doing
Some pretty major updates to the site speaking of upgrades and uh it’ll be it’ll be good once it’s done but today is the day that they’re launching the changes so hold with us but we will be doing the full episode on YouTube today so those of you to YouTube Rumble
Twitter Facebook get to watch the whole episode uh the full hour in fact I believe let me show you something else now you might have seen my episode last night where I talk about what’s happening in Russia and I give my take on the idea of the attempted coup what’s happening with
Pagosian what’s happening with Putin my take is this now I I think the bigger issue is that the the importance of what just took place the attempt would look like an attempted coup a march on Moscow which fizzled out after after 24 hours and pregosian and his mercenaries just
Walked home and they’re being now exiled to Belarus with a a hefty payment plan from Putin probably as they go into Exile in Belarus and the remaining people who did not include who did not get involved in what looked like an uprising or an attempted coup those
People are now being allowed to join the Russian military they tried doing it before this whole thing only about two percent decided to join the Russian regular forces but as this happens something bigger took place in my opinion and that is a rift his form between the leadership and
The people and it’s these kinds of Rifts that don’t easily go away what happened is as Wagner marched to Moscow in each town they went to they would ask the local police chief do you support us or do you support Putin and of course pagosian was even allegedly making statements calling for
Like things directly against Putin himself and the overwhelming sentiment was that they supported pagosian and not Putin now you could argue on one side that well a person with a gun to their head will say anything and maybe maybe having a bunch of mercenaries who were like convicted murderers and so on here
A lot of the Wagner group guys a bunch of mercenaries with guns pointed to your head asking you hey do you support us or do you support the guy we’re on our way to kill right now what are you gonna say um I’d probably be like oh okay all the
Support to you Brothers you know without March further and beyond my town and never come back you could argue that might be what they’re doing right maybe that’s what they’re doing but I would argue in my observation I’m solely going by the many videos people put up on
Social media and so on in Russia and just what I’m hearing from chatter of my for among my own contacts is that actually Wagner did have popular support at least among younger people in Russia maybe not the real older you know groups of people but among the younger
People they did have support and the popularity of the war with Ukraine among younger people is not so hot they supported the overthrow of the Russian government they supported a band of violent convict mercenaries marching to Moscow and killing their leaders and for Putin that memory is not going to easily
Fade not only that but they were even calling up their buddies in the Spetsnaz because remember in terms of the military branch divisions Wagner is indirectly at least tied to the same similar command Branch under the Spetsnaz or with the Spetsnaz alongside them and a lot of the members are also
Former Spetsnaz they have close Communications with them a lot of those guys also supported supported them supported Wagner the ones who did not are more like police and you know the more normal security forces of Russia and then of course Russia had to keep its normal fighting force on the front lines
Fighting the entire war against Ukraine when Ukraine has talked about launching its uh whole summer offensive and so no matter how you look at it it wasn’t so hot for Putin in terms of being able to divide his forces to deal with his problem that being said even though the surface
Level conflict has faded behind the scenes the deeper and broader conflict remains and that is the remaining paranoia and interestingly Anthony blink and Secretary of State noted his notices as well I believe and he said this it says blinken sees cracks emerging in Putin’s hold on Russia daily wire reports the
Wagner group’s Uprising revealed weaknesses and the Russian regime led by President Vladimir Putin according to Secretary of State Anthony blinken across multiple talk show appearances on Sunday morning blinken repeated a similar message about how the brief Rebellion is evidence of Putin losing his grip on Power and he said I think
You have seen some cracks emerging that weren’t there before now I would actually agree with Anthony blinken on this although You could argue whatever you want yes there are political interests yes even in America there are political interests yes they are going to capitalize very likely on this Rift because that’s the
Way Espionage and unconventional warfare works and regardless of however you look at it you’re going to see disinformation not just within Russia trying to push their narratives but even disinformation from the United States trying to push our narratives on them as well uh you know it’s uh this is the way Modern
Warfare Works fifth generation Warfare It’s the war of words and so you’re going to have many groups trying to capitalize on it but I’ll show you my take on the whole thing in a bit once we jump over to last night’s show another story here folks the hunter
Biden laptop Scandal is getting a lot bigger um I haven’t done too much on this and I’ve been needing to text messages have emerged you might have seen them where Hunter folks it’s bad it’s really bad it’s really bad for Biden uh frankly and bad for Hunter and
Merrick Garland as well the current uh head of the Department of Justice Hunter Biden has text messages now being released to the House Republicans currently investigating him that could implicate not only him but Joe Biden and maybe even Anthony blinken a head of the Department of Justice and what it shows
Are things like for example Hunter Biden writing in text messages trying to accept bribes from a foreign government China in this case saying I’m sitting here with my father I’m Joe Biden I’m sitting here with my father and trying to let you know of course this is an
Allegation because we don’t know for a fact whether this whistleblower is real or not we assume it is based on the fact Republicans seem to believe in it but take it for what it is right but this text message really showing what could be serious evidence that yes
Hunter Biden was selling his father’s influence yes Joe Biden was in on it and possibly even Anthony blinken was in on it now that being said the Hunter’s lawyers are like he was too high on crack to know what he was doing and I’m not even joking that’s that’s the narrative that
Is the narrative coming out now he’s a drug addict don’t listen to him that that’s the that’s the actual narrative coming out now and Joe Biden is now no longer saying that he does not have any awareness of Hunter Biden’s activities he’s now saying that he was not involved
In Hunter’s business activities and so you can see how the narrative is changing on that front it also emerged that Hunter Biden on his tax returns was writing off his prostitutes not even joking that’s the allegation at least he was part of some freaky like uh this is
Again allegedly take it for what it is there’s some creepy Elite sex club that is like that movie Eyes Wide Shut in fact I think they’ve they I think they actually modeled the appearance after that Stanley Kubrick film and uh apparent apparently Hunter was a member that’s what they’re claiming at least
And apparently he was riding it off on his taxes according to the Whistleblower again we haven’t yet seen the full evidence of this so take it for what it’s worth but it’s looking really really bad folks let me go over a bit more of this then we’ll jump into questions because I want
To show you what’s happening right now with some of this just the news says FBI validated Hunter Biden laptop months before experts claimed Russian disinformation suggesting the FBI was part of the whole game and the FBI colluded to rig the elections by covering this up and played a role in
Sweeping under the rug real information that led to the attacks attacks on journalists and even the censorship of journalists through the medium of government intervention um this is serious because this may have actually changed the outcome of the 2020 elections and yes this would be an
Example of the FBI having played a part in rigging an election if you look at voter numbers based on who said they would have voted differently had they known about Hunter Biden the FBI rigged the 2020 elections through this alone it says months before 51 intelligence experts the news media and Joe Biden
Himself suggested without evidence you see conservatives using that now too without evidence the hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation the FBI had authenticated this to the device as belonging to the first son and prosecutors had expressed confidence its contents had not been manipulated according to a contemporaneous IRS investigative memo
Meaning Hunter Biden laptop is real the FBI knew it was was real the FBI knew it had not been tampered with meaning the data on there had Integrity the data on there had credibility and the data on there was legally sound and could have been used in a legal investigation not
Only did they not act on it but they allowed for these former intelligence officials like Clapper and all the other clowns let’s call them all the other the whole band of disinformation experts manipulating our media for political purposes who wrote a public letter claiming that the whole thing looked
Like Russian disinformation and That Was Then used by The Establishment to censor across social media sensor journalists and sweep the entire thing under the rug to clear the way for Biden in 2020. now it goes beyond that as well not only was the FBI collaborating on it not only
Did the FBI play a role in this but again it goes all the way up to Merrick Garland the head of the doj and the doj remember FBI is under doj apoc time says new email contradicts Garland Merrick Garland on Hunter Biden probe as impeachment talk heats up and
It says house Speaker Kevin McCarthy has raised the idea of possibly opening an impeachment inquiry into U.S attorney general Merrick Garland as a new email contradicts Garden’s testimony regarding the hunter Biden investigation in other words they’re going to try to impeach they’re going to try to impeach Merrick Garland they probably will not
Have the votes for it let’s be honest with ourselves but it does send a good message it does send a good message in in terms of clarifying the misinformation the public was spoon fed against our will because they censored people who said otherwise anyways folks I’ll keep you updated as
This whole thing develops that says jump into questions and then after this of course I’ll show you last night’s episode where I give my take on what’s happening in Russia David and real quick too uh we’re not on Epoch TV today we are currently doing a major update on the website there’s some
Good stuff rolling out so stay tuned for some big updates on the epoch TV and Epoch times website but yeah anyways we’re um not there today currently but David a you said I heard a commentary that the elites that are pressuring companies to adopt these woke policies welcome
Boycotts because it hurts the middle and working class which goes along with their agenda do you have any thoughts on that um I disagree with that analysis uh I think under some circumstances it works but I don’t I think it goes against their long-term agendas fundamentally
And you can actually see the the move away from the ESG label ESG has become a bad word in fact even the former head of BlackRock Larry Fink has made public statements that he no longer likes to use the word ESG the environmental and social governance he no longer likes to
Use it because of its negative implications now under normal circumstances I think this is true under normal circumstances you could say that boycotts are temporary they have no long-term impact and because of that you know it just creates more Buzz around a brand you can look like Balenciaga for
Example which actually probably did better after the boycotts uh it puts them in the kind of the center stage and it blows up the brands and they get bigger and typically people do not stop buying the products typically people will continue buying them a few months down the line and the big investment
Firms BlackRock Vanguard will pump in money to compensate for the loss in let’s say purchases in loss in market so when you look at the actual Market data you look at the shares of the company it looks like there’s no change and this is one of the big things the
Media does you know the establishment media they’ll say conservative boycotts did nothing haha look at all of you you thought you had an impact you did not and they’ll be like the market value of this company is the same as it was last year in fact they’re even doing better
Why do they do better it’s because these woke investment firms artificially pump in money during times of Crisis for the companies in order to maintain the stability of the markets and to make it again not dip so as so that their shareholders of course do not lose money
And by doing that they make it appear that no impact is being had what an impact often is being had now you could argue that if Budweiser or something like that collapses people lose jobs Americans hard-working Americans lose their jobs and you could argue I really doubt every person at Target and every
Person at Anheuser-Busch supports these types of crazy woke policies some of them are probably not even political there are a lot of people don’t even watch news they just read like sports news and so on there’s a lot of people like that you could assume that a lot of people
Who work these companies don’t necessarily associate themselves with those work policies and they’re just trying to put food on the table for their families and yes those people those people’s jobs will be impact especially when the companies start laying people off and they are now from that standpoint you could say
Man yeah the elites are just trying to hurt middle-class America but it’s not quite like that because the way the market works is that people are still going to buy beer people are still going to buy clothes people are still going to buy the products they need they’re just
Not going to buy it from those companies and so what are they going to do they’re going to find companies that more affiliate with their values and pour their money into those and as those companies make more money they can hire people as well and the people who might
Have lost their jobs at one company that job does not disappear it merely moves to another company that’s the glory of the free market that’s the the grandness of the free market and the way these things work internal circulation of Revenue is the lifeblood of an economy
In the lifeblood of a country and typically people when they purchase things when you go to the restaurant when you buy beer you are not only buying a product from a company but you are circulating money through the employment structure of that company allowing them to then circulate money
Through the employment structures of another company and so on and so on and so on and that’s the way that money flows through things it does not stop flowing merely because people stop buying from one particular company the money just flows elsewhere um and I think what you’re going to see
Is a shake-up you’re probably going to see a shake up in the establishment of the business systems and you are probably going to watch some of these Giants take a huge long hard fall and others will rise in their places because again I don’t think it’s the
People don’t want to buy beer you know what I mean it’s not like people don’t want to buy beer they just don’t want to buy that beer that that’s what it is let’s see uh H Allen H Allen Johnson he was saying isn’t isn’t markalas nothing more than a tax write-off
It’s a bit more than that um especially so this is this is in my opinion why the why this actually matters a lot is that there are conservative Republicans actually launching a new committee to investigate ways to go after the ESG standards and if you’re an investment firm and you are
Being trusted including with government pensions not only to maintain the value of those pensions but to increase the value of those pensions while you need to make sound and you need to make sound choices with investment If instead you give someone money and they’re like I am not going to put this
Money that was trusted in me to raise to increase the value of I’m not going to give it to you unless you push a policy that you know is going to lose money uh that individual can be held liable uh that that is possibly in violation of
The law imagine for example you give your cousin you know let’s say 50 bucks you give your cousin 50 bucks and you ask him to go you know go grow the wealth of it he has to for example put it somewhere in under normal circumstances the money is going to
Maybe double in value over the course of like 10 years or something like that let’s let’s say 50 and say like you know 500 000 or something like that what if your cousin rather than trying to grow the value of the money instead goes to the person that would help grow the
Value and tells them I’m not going to give you this money unless you make fundamental changes to your business practices that will lose money and rather than double the value of your money he’s going to cut in half the value of your money by doing so what
Does that mean your cousin did it means he’s acting like a mafia he’s acting like a mob boss who used your money to pressure someone to adopt a policy that will lose you money your retirement accounts are being treated in the same way your 401ks your pensions are being treated in the same
Way and these crazy investment firms that our own government is giving them to are doing that exact type of practice they’re going to companies and they’re forcing them to adopt policies that will lose money now that we’ve seen the impact of these types of boycotts now you could argue it’s a tax write-off
Yeah you know business business businesses can go bankrupt and still bounce back from them but lessons are learned within the market and we still do have a free market to some extent right lessons are learned within the free market of what will gain you money and
What will lose you money and that is the glory of the free market and the natural flow of things outside the influence of what you would call interventionist policy state interventionism where the state chooses the winners and the losers things that people want win things that
People do not want fail things that are capable of standing on their own two feet when things not capable of standing on their own two feet fail and through the process of failure people learn what does not work and they’re forced to adopt things that do work and if they
See that woke policy does not work while creating things in that sphere is not going to be a winning proposition that is going to be the impact on the market if the market is allowed to again govern itself so to speak without without too heavy outside intervention and the
Interesting thing about this anti-work protest is that there is interventionism there’s interventionism from the government on the ESG and um different agendas there’s influence from the investment firms but we’re finding that you can only influence it to such an extent before public pressure tears the whole thing down we reached a threshold
It was it was a very difficult threshold to reach but we reached a threshold as a society where the wave of public money was great enough that it could tear down these Giants despite the fact that they did have all these interventionist policies trying to prop them up artificially really incredible if you
Understand how much how hard it is to tear down something that deeply entrenched within corrupt politics and corrupt business it’s very difficult to do and really an incredible feat I think that is that is not at its end it’s at its beginning this is a social Trend that I personally
Believe is going to keep spreading and a social Trend that is going to send shock waves through these investment firms in terms of how they use money especially as the legal element comes in and people start saying where is my money right that’s the other big thing someone loses
Your money because they try to act like a mafia while people could come in and say Hey where’s my money and that’s uh that’s when things get really interesting anyways interesting stuff folks that said um let’s let me show you the episode from last night I’ll give my take on
What’s happening in Russia I do a pretty deep um I give my you I what I’d say is pretty unique analysis on it and what this actually means I also talked to someone who does not agree with me so you can get a different viewpoint on
That and of course we talk as well about some of the voting maps in the U.S and what’s happening with that anyways folks stay tuned for the episode uh rest of the episode again still half an hour left I’ll see you tonight as well 7 P.M eastern time and I will see
You again tomorrow morning as well 10 a.m eastern time and folks as always appreciate you all thank you for being here and please share this video by the way and as always please take care of yourselves stay informed and stay free thank you
