You misheard, sir. "The Blackhawk could fly 600 miles at high speed". They stated shortly after it could carry 6 troops at 165mph. I watched because I was gonna call out that BS too.

They did mention that the swept back blade tips were flown at speeds up to Mach .9 with no adverse effects, but they did not state it was on the S-67 airframe.

I give up my testicles if it can fly 600 mph and have a payload of 7000 lbs. they are not smoking weed, they are smocking crack. The Chinook is one of the fastest helicopters and it flies at less than 200 mph.
