On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Avi Yemini and Ezra discussed their tense encounter with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink earlier this week during this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

While attempting to get answers from the BlackRock CEO in Davos, Fink took out his phone and appeared to snap pictures of the Rebel reporters, seemingly in an attempt to intimidate them.

BlackRock manages over $11 trillion in assets and has been criticized for imposing far-left environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies onto the companies they hold shares in.

Ezra also spoke about the influence of BlackRock in global conflicts and the re-construction of countries after wars. "They both provide the weapons in wars, and then they get the contracts to rebuild the countries after those wars," he said.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was previously featured in a BlackRock promotional video.

"These are violent people. So When Larry Fink takes our pictures, and we know that Larry Fink had an actual attempted assassin in the larger BlackRock family, maybe he's going to give that photo of us to their little MK-Ultra team," said Ezra.

Rebel News doesn’t have corporate sponsors or billionaire backers. Our journalism stays independent for one reason: viewers like you support it.

This week, we’re heading back to Davos to report from the World Economic Forum—where the world’s most powerful people gather, and where the mainstream media too often plays nice. We’re crowdfunding the basics: economy-class flights, modest lodging, and on-the-ground reporting costs so Ezra Levant, Avi Yemini, and our crew can put cameras and tough questions where the powerful don’t want them.

Every contribution—large or small—goes directly to WEF Reports 2026 coverage. If you want fearless, independent reporting from Davos, please donate now.

Bonus for $100+ donors: If you chip in $100 or more (or if you gave $100+ to our previous WEF crowdfunding campaign), we’ll invite you to a private live Zoom town hall with Ezra and Avi, streaming from Davos. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes briefing and we’ll answer your questions live.

Town hall time: Thursday, January 22 at 7:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. MT (yes, that’s 3:00 a.m. in Davos—we’ll be up for it).

Please donate today to help us get to Davos—and bring you reporting you won’t find anywhere else.
