This is what you're fighting for. I mean, every day you're out there. What they're doing is blowing
00:00:11.360
people off. If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the
00:00:18.360
authoritarians get total control and total power. Because this is just like in Arizona. This is
00:00:24.080
just like in Georgia. It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies
00:00:28.880
and misrepresentations. This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. As we've told
00:00:32.820
you, this is the fight. All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:00:38.180
War Room Battleground. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:50.040
Okay, welcome. We're not going to do the Ted Cruz. Okay, we're not going to do the Ted Cruz clip.
00:00:54.640
That's okay. We're in the War Room, baby. It's a little gonzo today.
00:00:57.520
We had a great clip with Ted Cruz. But we'll play it maybe as we get it. My producer shakes his head.
00:01:04.740
You ready? Let's go ahead. Okay, hey, I just brought the show in. Let's go and play Ted Cruz
00:01:10.260
Justice Thomas was appointed in 1991. In the time since then, he's taken 109 reported trips,
00:01:16.100
five international trips. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed in 1993, two years later.
00:01:22.700
In the time she was on the court, she took 157 trips, including 28 international trips.
00:01:31.040
Mr. Payne, yes or no, do you think Ruth Bader Ginsburg was corrupt?
00:01:38.780
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was not alone. Justice Stephen Breyer, appointed the year later in 1994,
00:01:43.860
took 233 reported trips, including 63 international trips. Again, yes or no, Mr. Payne, do you think
00:01:54.140
Nor do I. I would point out Justice Kagan has done the same thing. Justice Sotomayor has done
00:01:59.380
the same thing. And yet none of my Democrat colleagues care. Because this is a political
00:02:05.040
attack directed at a justice they hate. And by the way, let's spend a moment focusing on Justice
00:02:12.180
Stephen Breyer, a delightful human being, someone I know personally, someone who served decades on
00:02:17.320
the court. Justice Stephen Breyer repeatedly traveled on the penny of a prominent Democratic
00:02:25.320
billionaire, the Pritzker family. Now, J.B. Pritzker is the Democrat governor of the state of
00:02:32.380
Illinois, from which our chairman hails. I would be shocked if the chairman of this committee has
00:02:37.800
not had multiple meals with the Pritzker family. Justice Breyer was a longtime member of the board
00:02:44.600
that awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Now, what did that mean? That meant Justice Breyer
00:02:49.020
traveled on the dime of these Democrat billionaires. In 2019, Justice Breyer traveled to New York City,
00:02:55.960
to Vancouver and Paris. In 2018, Justice Breyer traveled to Ireland and Spain. In 2016,
00:03:02.380
he traveled to New York, Spain, and France. In 2013, he traveled to Norway, Sweden, Denmark.
00:03:08.640
In 2012, he traveled to Beijing and to London. All of this paid for by the Pritzker Foundation. Now,
00:03:16.780
none of my Democrat colleagues are mad about this. And let me be clear, I'm not suggesting Justice Breyer
00:03:22.020
is corrupt. What I'm suggesting is this committee is corrupt because this is a kangaroo circuit circus.
00:03:28.580
And I will note, we had 15 Senate Democrats, including six members of this committee,
00:03:33.680
send a letter to the Appropriations Committee threatening to cut off the funding for security
00:03:39.580
at the Supreme Court. The left is willing to threaten the lives of the justices. Justice Samuel Alito this
00:03:47.380
weekend in the Wall Street Journal said that the attacks directed at the justices are making them
00:03:56.820
I want to thank Memphis for getting that because it's a powerful clip. Mike Davis,
00:04:01.920
and thank you for taking time away. I know you can only spend a couple of minutes with us.
00:04:06.020
Ted Cruz brought the fire of the day. You've been talking about this for the last couple of months,
00:04:11.580
that this is a complete sham. And this is the smear. Some of the finest individuals have ever sat on the
00:04:17.100
Supreme Court. Here's why this is we're getting like revolutionary France, ladies and gentlemen,
00:04:21.320
what they don't like. They're going to destroy. They don't like the fact that Donald Trump and the
00:04:27.300
deplorables were able to get a couple of amazing justices in there. They don't like the balance of
00:04:32.640
the court. They don't like the decisions of the court. They're not about the rule of law and they're
00:04:36.480
going to tear it down and they don't care if people get hurt. I mean, Alito over the weekend to the
00:04:40.780
Wall Street Journal says, I was afraid of being assassinated. Justice Alito. And today, Mike Davis,
00:04:47.040
Ted Cruz brought the fire. What you've been talking about, what these other just did, and I will make
00:04:52.660
one separation about Breyer. The Pritzkers are one of the scummiest families in this nation and one of the
00:04:59.220
most evil families in this nation. Mike Davis. Yeah, so what this is what we've been talking about for the
00:05:06.760
last several weeks, Steve, the Democrats lost control of the Supreme Court. President Trump, his biggest and
00:05:13.500
most consequential accomplishment of his first term was President Trump's transformation of the
00:05:18.680
Supreme Court and the critically important federal courts of appeals. This is the last line of defense.
00:05:24.080
The federal judiciary is the last line of defense protecting everyday Americans from politicians
00:05:29.140
trying to run us over our First Amendment rights to speak, to associate, to worship, our Second Amendment
00:05:36.440
right to keep and bear arms, to protect ourselves and our families. Democrats know that the Supreme Court
00:05:41.880
will stop them. And that's why they are trying to delegitimize and destroy the Supreme Court with
00:05:47.480
court packing, impeachment, term limits, jurisdiction stripping. And you saw today, we called out these
00:05:54.280
characters before the hearing today, two of the people they called today as their so-called nonpartisan
00:05:59.680
ethics experts. We have this Kedrick Payne who said that there was an ethical violation. They didn't point
00:06:05.640
out that Kedrick Payne actually worked in the Obama administration as a senior political appointee.
00:06:12.120
You have this other person they brought in, this other law professor they brought in,
00:06:18.460
who's a professor now, and she was a senior political appointee to Ted Kennedy on the Senate Judiciary
00:06:26.100
Committee. So these are two Democrat political operatives who came in and to the Judiciary Committee today
00:06:32.400
to put off this garbage legal theory that these Supreme Court justices, Republican-appointed
00:06:39.960
Supreme Court justices, somehow violated ethics rules. It was the whole point is character assassination
00:06:45.520
so they could destroy the Supreme Court. These Supreme Court justices run everything they do by their
00:06:50.980
accountants, the Supreme Court's legal counsel, and the legal counsel at the administrative office of
00:06:56.820
the courts. And so that's three levels of review. None of them have done anything wrong.
00:07:01.220
Democrat or Republican, this is all nonsense. You've been ahead of this from the beginning.
00:07:08.260
What's in store for us on this? Is this going to end today? Is this going to continue on?
00:07:12.200
We're going to have to fight fire with fire? Because I don't mind going after Ginsburg.
00:07:16.920
I don't, hey, I don't mind going after Breyer. You know, screw Breyer. If he's taking money from
00:07:20.820
Pritzker, that's dirty money. Okay, we ought to go after him. Is this going to end today,
00:07:25.140
or we got to now rev this thing up? Well, if you saw Mark Paoletta, who was one of Justice Thomas's
00:07:31.820
closest friends, and I have been out there for several weeks now, just bashing back at the
00:07:37.200
Democrats, pointing out their hypocrisy, pointing out the Democrat Supreme Court justices' own ethical
00:07:43.440
issues that the mainstream media, the liberal media, seems to ignore. So no, we are going to fight back.
00:07:49.920
We're going to punch back. We're doing that at the Article III project every day. If Democrats want
00:07:54.960
to play this game, we'll play this game. As I say, Republicans won an upset presidential victory
00:08:02.820
with a political novice in 2016 because of a Supreme Court fight. Four Senate Democrats got sent into early
00:08:10.600
retirement in 2018 because of a Supreme Court fight. At the Article III project, we welcome a Supreme
00:08:17.000
Court fight for 2024. Nothing unites Republicans and brings in independence more than a Supreme
00:08:22.540
Court fight. So Democrats, please, please continue to do this. Game on. Mike Davis, how do people get
00:08:29.260
to you at Article III in your social media, particularly? Your getter is amazing. I want everybody to go to
00:08:33.820
your getter. Your Twitter, late at night, comes in a little hot. Not as charming. Is that what you're
00:08:41.380
saying, Steve? So it's article3project.org, article3project.org, at article3project, at article3project on
00:08:51.480
Getter, Twitter, and Truth. And my personal is at MRDDMIA, MRDDMIA. Thank you, Steve.
00:09:00.280
Thank you, brother. Thank you for taking time away. Okay, I've got Derek Harvey and Brian Costello
00:09:06.280
are going to join us in a moment. Hang on a second. They're going to join us in a moment
00:09:08.920
about really a blockbuster investigation needs to be completed on one of the central figures,
00:09:16.920
institutions in venture capital, Sequoia Capital, and everything around Sequoia Capital. We'll get to
00:09:21.780
that in a second. But I want to bring in Linda Rantz. And the reason is we're into this thing with
00:09:26.420
the Guardian, about the Guardian. And Linda, I know you've got a couple of charts, and I want to
00:09:30.480
walk through them. And Memphis will put them up as you go through them. Linda, in Osage County,
00:09:37.180
Missouri, you guys have got the paper ballots that you hand count with things called human beings
00:09:44.780
on Election Day. And the Guardian has said that Shasta County, I guess, California, was replicating
00:09:51.220
what you've done. You're going to bankrupt the county. They're going to have no money, no schools,
00:09:55.220
nothing for veterans. People are going to be homeless because of Ms. Rantz. Can you walk us
00:10:03.440
through the lies of the Guardian and other newspapers that are, you know, and media organizations that are
00:10:09.220
attacking you and what you've done personally? I want to walk through your math, ma'am.
00:10:15.720
Sure. And I will say that everything you're going to see here will show you that
00:10:20.100
they're talking about cost and they get it from the government, but they never talk about the
00:10:25.620
reductions that come from not using the machines. So if we see the first chart, which would be slide
00:10:32.620
number four, I don't know if the numbers got through. There we go. So before you do anything,
00:10:37.980
when you're looking at hand counting and what it's going to cost, you look at voter turnout and where
00:10:43.340
that's at, how much work you're going to have to put into it, how many judges you'll need.
00:10:47.160
So this is a chart and these lines just show the turnout at polling places in Shasta County
00:10:54.020
for the last two presidential elections, 2016 and 2020, and then their 2022 race. And if you look at
00:11:02.540
the line, kind of where the text I've got up there, one counting team, only one of them even hit 500
00:11:07.800
ballots. Really the benchmark is 600 ballots at a polling place for one team to count that in one day.
00:11:14.980
So for polling place voting and counting in Shasta County, they would never need more than one team
00:11:22.880
at each polling place. So if we jump to the next chart, we'll look at some numbers for that.
00:11:29.840
That would be number nine if you have that. Yep. So the labor costs, oh, I'm sorry, the font's not
00:11:34.920
lining up right, but let's just take a look at it. So the first column with the blue header that says
00:11:40.240
election day, those numbers are what it costs to have judges at those polling places. Now in Shasta
00:11:47.620
County in California, they also do vote by mail. They have something called all mail. And then there's
00:11:53.500
some early voting. I don't know why there was none in 2016 in Shasta County, but these are the numbers
00:11:58.880
off the county website. So I counted out based on four counting judges making $15 an hour each for an
00:12:08.040
eight hour shift that the numbers you'll see in the far right column are what it would cost $99,000
00:12:14.520
in 2016, about $115,000 in 2020, and a smaller election during the year, about $64,000. Now you
00:12:23.640
also have to keep in mind that is not brought up is that the county allows for their county employees
00:12:30.740
to take the day and go work the polls, whether they're checking people in, or in this case,
00:12:36.680
they would be helping them to count. So they're already paid, that would reduce the cost. Another
00:12:42.440
item that doesn't come up in the county clerk's analysis, she has a very complicated or very complex
00:12:50.120
system of how many different boards she would need under the canvassing board. And she part of the cost
00:12:57.040
that she's putting into it that comes out to be millions of dollars. So I'm showing you about $115,000
00:13:04.380
for the highest one. Hers comes out in the millions. And she's saying that she will have to hire
00:13:09.840
everyone. I've heard her say, because we presented in person with her, that she'd have to fingerprint,
00:13:16.140
she'd have to do back projects, all of those costs she was wrapping in. But there's an attorney in
00:13:22.500
California, Alex Haberbush, I hope he said his name right. He works with the Lex Rex Institute.
00:13:29.240
He's not retained by any of the parties. But he's done an analysis on the laws in California, and then
00:13:37.400
for Shasta County. And he doesn't believe that you would have to hire everyone. So his analysis is much
00:13:43.260
more in depth than what I just truncated it down to. But he believes that citizens could also volunteer,
00:13:50.080
that would also bring those costs down. So if we jump to the next slide, we'll look at the numbers of
00:13:56.680
people. So you can see for the rows, the three different elections, and the far right shows you
00:14:04.860
the labor needed, you're looking at around 1000 people for a presidential election, less than that
00:14:11.680
for another election. And this goes back, actually, I would say to precinct strategy, where the political
00:14:18.680
parties, the Democrats, the Republicans, we have to get, it's our job to get people signed up to get out there
00:14:26.160
and serve in these elections. So that's a whole nother part of serving at your county level, because you are the
00:14:32.180
people who are going to go out and be these judges. Now, this is not specific just to Shasta County, we just
00:14:39.200
last night, got a sunshine request, which is our FOIA request here in Missouri, we got some documents
00:14:45.640
back from our Secretary of State's office. And if you would jump to the next slide, I'll show you so this
00:14:52.800
text, and I think the yellow highlighting went away. But basically, what it's saying is that in the Senator
00:15:01.220
Bill Igle, a state senator here in Missouri, filed a bill at the beginning of the session to get rid of
00:15:07.240
machines. And so they have to do a cost analysis of what that would be. So the Secretary of State's
00:15:13.160
office sent this information they had gathered, they say that in 2020 election, there was just over
00:15:18.880
3 million ballots cast statewide. And then they go through their analysis of what that would cost the
00:15:25.960
state to hand count. And there are three numbers are very right there at the bottom, they're saying
00:15:31.000
each election would cost the state about 16 million dollars for people to hand count. Now the next
00:15:38.800
slide I'm going to show you, using the process we've already done in Osage, what I believe it really
00:15:44.800
would be. So if you have in the top left blue box, 3 million ballots, and you can count 50 per hour, that
00:15:52.500
means you have about 60,000 counting hours, which equates to 7500 eight hour shifts of judges. And then
00:16:01.280
moving over to the right, that next box, it will tell you that you need just over 30,000 counting
00:16:06.920
judges in the entire state. And right there in the middle in the red, 30,000 counting judges at their
00:16:14.200
price of 125 dollars for each one is 3.7, almost 3.8 million, definitely not 15.7 million. And that's
00:16:25.520
spread across the county, it really is hard to look at at the state level, it sounds like a lot. But even
00:16:31.480
if you look at their numbers for fiscal year 25, where they're saying it's going to be over 47 million
00:16:37.720
dollars to hand count, I would say it's just over 11 million for three elections in that fiscal year.
00:16:45.620
Nowhere in this document do they say that if you don't use machines, you won't have to pay any
00:16:54.180
particular charges for the machines, they never offset it, they just add this number on top. But the last
00:17:00.200
slide that I have will show you very simply, in a small county like Osage, in our election, we had 44
00:17:07.280
judges, if they had been paid $125 each, it would have cost the county about 5500. I know, I don't
00:17:16.000
know how many people asked to be paid, but I would be surprised if more than six asked the county to pay
00:17:21.360
them. And we found out only a couple days ago, that the county saved $14,000 by not having to pay just
00:17:30.360
the software fee for that election, because you have to pay for software every time there's an election
00:17:36.000
in order for those machines to read the ballots properly. So it really is a mind game for them to
00:17:45.040
come out and try to tell people it costs all this money to do an election. And the truth is, they're
00:17:50.560
never really giving you all the numbers. They're just trying to put the numbers out there to make
00:17:55.060
people think it's too expensive to hand count, we can't possibly do it. And the last note is that any of
00:18:01.880
that money that is spent on election judges is being spent on people in your own community in your
00:18:08.060
own state, as opposed to giving that money to companies that are owned by private equity funds.
00:18:16.520
Linda, last two things, magnificent presentation done succinctly under 10 minutes, two questions.
00:18:22.060
Number one, are you still open to do a town hall debate or just not even a debate, but just go back
00:18:27.620
and forth and we can get the clerk on the same stage with you out in Shasta County, ma'am?
00:18:32.700
Yes, in a heartbeat. I would do that. I've already been face to face with her. I don't think she cares
00:18:38.360
for me very much, but I would definitely go and do that and bring some of the people who counted. We
00:18:43.920
have some great counters here, would love to come and do a demo.
00:18:49.220
And Linda, last, as the Guardian, still we're in the process of, still in the process of trying to get
00:18:54.420
them to, to get to you. Has anybody from the Guardian that wrote that incredibly negative
00:18:58.160
piece and never actually called you to check the numbers? Has anybody from the Guardian reached out
00:19:03.080
to you? No, no, not at all. And I noticed the only person they quoted was one of the supervisors
00:19:10.300
from Shasta County. And I know she complained that going to hand counting was a violation of a First
00:19:16.800
Amendment right. I haven't put that together in my mind where she connected First Amendment freedom
00:19:22.580
of speech to hand counting. But I would say I haven't heard from her either. And she was the
00:19:27.360
one who was most quoted in that article. Linda, what's your social media website? How do people
00:19:33.760
get to you to follow up on this and maybe get the charts? We're going to put them up and put them all
00:19:37.160
over our website. And also Grace and Mo are going to put it out to everybody in the chat rooms. But
00:19:42.720
where do people go to find out more about you and your crusade for paper ballots and the hand counting
00:19:48.600
thereof, ma'am? Thank you. Yes. So on Getter, you can find me at Linda Rance. Most of the social
00:19:55.500
media sites, I'm either at Linda or at Linda Rance. Causeofamerica.org. There's a link to get
00:20:02.140
the download and we load everything at frankspeech.com. Just search hand counting or Missouri and you'll find
00:20:08.900
our stuff. Linda, honored to have you on here. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. I appreciate it so much.
00:20:16.100
Thanks, Steve. Thanks. Go from that complete takedown of the Guardian's article. I want to
00:20:23.740
go down to Colonel Derek Harvey and we've got a very special guest. Brian Cassell is going to join us
00:20:27.300
in a second. Colonel Harvey, first off, walk through in this, you know, Australia overnight has
00:20:32.560
announced they're kicking up interest rates. We've had another huge bank fail. The financial system
00:20:37.600
in our country is right on a knife's edge. Drudge, who's no fan of the Trump movement,
00:20:41.800
Mac Daddy has got like 30 negative stories about the economy. The Federal Reserve is going to kick
00:20:47.420
up interest rates again. This thing is a burning dumpster fire. One of the central institutions
00:20:52.840
in our financial system, and quite frankly, one of the reasons these banks have been failing,
00:20:58.180
Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and now First Republic Bank, is their association,
00:21:04.080
these banks' association with venture capital. One of the center institutions of venture capital
00:21:09.300
is Sequoia Capital. Can you walk us through the centrality of Sequoia Capital in the venture
00:21:15.320
capital industry and how important that industry is to the dominant lead that America has in technology?
00:21:23.100
Well, venture capital funds startups, high tech, new initiatives, innovative ideas,
00:21:31.440
and to jumpstart and to become part of the new industries. And they're always looking,
00:21:38.460
they get to go into viewing rooms and examine what a new startup idea is, what the big idea is,
00:21:47.340
and how they intend to make a difference with that new technology. It might be in AI, it might be in
00:21:53.280
some other, you know, area, hypersonics or something. And they look at it for a profit motive,
00:22:02.200
they look at it for impact on society. Sometimes they're thinking about green, but they're mainly
00:22:09.980
thinking about how do they make money and leverage this. That's what they do, and they try to make
00:22:16.360
money by investing in a number of these, and they hope that some of them turn out to be really big.
00:22:21.140
But the bigger firms like Sequoia can cherry pick where they're going to go. And Sequoia Capital has
00:22:28.020
elements, you know, there's Sequoia Capital China, Sequoia Capital India, for example. But Sequoia
00:22:35.840
Capital is aligned with the left politically, culturally, and socially, its leadership is. And Sequoia
00:22:43.980
Capital, by virtue of its relationship with China, and partnering with Sequoia Capital China has been
00:22:54.500
given preferential treatment and access, because one of their key directors, a global steward named Neil
00:23:03.480
Shen, until earlier this year was a key political advisor to President Xi in a position of the Politburo. And
00:23:16.080
because of the pressure and the news focusing on him, he has been removed from that political position, but he's
00:23:23.720
still an agent of the government. And he was bragging on, on Chinese TV in Mandarin, about all of the access to
00:23:32.380
American companies, R&D, and these new innovative ideas, that he has access to everything Sequoia gets access to
00:23:40.480
America's Sequoia. And that's allowing, in some ways, the trans, it's almost like having a spy in your midst, okay, in
00:23:50.040
plain sight. Now, it's, it's, it's, hang on, it's worse, it's, hang on, hang on, it's worse than that. To be the
00:23:56.980
advisor in the Politburo, you have to be a member of the Chinese Communist Party. You have to be, and he can
00:24:01.800
deny, or you have to be, they don't have guys as advisors to the Politburo. They don't have guys at
00:24:07.080
that level that are not hardcore CCP and can be trusted by the apparatus and the factions. This guy is a
00:24:13.820
CCP asset. He's been one for a long time. Only when shows like ourselves and others started to out him
00:24:19.380
did he start to try to run for cover. But you have a guy at the senior level. I might also, you know,
00:24:25.660
Sequoia is so big, normally they do early stage venture capital or late stage venture capital.
00:24:30.920
They're one of the biggest financiers, I think, in Elon Musk, outside of the CCP's ownership of Tesla
00:24:36.900
in the joint venture where Musk gets all his cash from. I think they're the second biggest,
00:24:41.400
you know, in back of Musk himself, Sequoia, once again, Neil Shennan, these guys have money in
00:24:47.660
Twitter. But just before we go to break, you go ahead, because this is a guy, he's a senior guy
00:24:54.240
in the Chinese Communist Party. He's seeing every aspect of DARPA technology, defense technology,
00:25:01.120
information technology, and he's bragging about it on CCTV, sir. And he's also one of the critical
00:25:08.020
architects for China's five year and longer economic strategies. What sector to get into
00:25:14.980
biosciences, bioagriculture, hypersonics, you know, whatever it is, if you what Sequoia is investing
00:25:24.100
in matches up completely with the Chinese Communist Party's five year plans. Simple as that.
00:25:32.860
Hang on, we're gonna go to hang on, we're gonna go to break one when made in China 2025, which she
00:25:38.540
never talks about again. Those are the 10 industries they were going to dominate by 2025. Remember that?
00:25:43.920
Correct. By the way, the first five industries, the first five industries are what got you to the
00:25:48.920
singularity, as I pointed out, right? It was quantum computing, advanced chip design, artificial general
00:25:54.980
intelligence, regenerative robotics. Have you heard those before, kids? Have you heard those before?
00:25:59.660
Just just it was just random that the top five were going to be the ones that got you to the
00:26:04.040
singularity. Remember, don't think the Chinese Communist Party is stupid. They're cunning. They're
00:26:08.840
smart. They're tough. President Trump said the other day on the on the interview about Xi, these are
00:26:13.900
tough. This is the greatest enemy we've ever had. President Trump would say it's the administrative
00:26:18.580
state. I say it's these guys. I think Derek Harvey can make the connection between the administrative
00:26:24.060
state and the Chinese Communist Party. Okay, we're gonna come back. We got Brian Costello, also a technologist
00:26:29.200
with us. We're going to drill down on, let's be blunt about this. This is a cancer. This is a cancer
00:26:35.200
that's metastasizing inside the financial system of the greatest capitalist system in mankind's history.
00:26:43.500
That is these venture capitalists and other institutions that are fifth columnist for the
00:26:49.620
Chinese Communist Party. Colonel Derek Harvey, Brian Costello joins us next after a short commercial
00:26:59.620
Junk science. That's what the doctor called many of those fruit and vegetable supplements. Junk science
00:27:07.640
because they use extracts of common produce department fruits and vegetables with few health benefits. Now
00:27:15.780
look, I take field of greens because it's the whole organic fruit and vegetable, not a watered down
00:27:20.820
supplement. And it's backed by a better health promise. Each ingredient in field of greens was
00:27:27.480
scientifically chosen to support vital organs like heart, lungs, and kidney health. Others support my
00:27:34.720
immune system, blood pressure, metabolism, and healthy weight loss. I don't eat as healthy as I should.
00:27:41.920
I got that. I know it. I own it. That's why I take field of greens. Like me, you'll probably look and
00:27:48.580
feel healthier fast and have way more energy. And I mean way more energy. But your best proof will be at
00:27:56.540

spending, long-term bonds have diminished in value, crippling banks. Depositors are holding their
00:28:33.180

In my younger days, I was a naval officer on a destroyer. In fact, I was the A-gang officer
00:29:58.400
in charge of all the engineering systems that were not main propulsion. And one of those was air
00:30:04.780
purification. And I can tell you the standards of the United States Navy are second to none.
00:30:09.160
If all home air purifiers are the same, why did the U.S. Department of Defense select EnviroCleanse
00:30:15.680
to protect and purify the air on board our Navy ships? Because of EnviroCleanse, advanced mineral
00:30:21.580
technology goes beyond ordinary HEPA filters to destroy airborne illness causing cold and flu viruses,
00:30:29.160
including COVID. EnviroCleanse is the new science in air purification. And now you can order one
00:30:36.200
for your home. This is how you help stop colds and flus from taking your whole family down. This
00:30:41.960
is how you destroy allergy-inflaming toxins and mold from the air your family breathes. In fact,

Okay, welcome back. I've got Colonel Derek Harvey, one of the most revered guys in Washington,
00:31:36.680
D.C., and also Brian Costello. Derek, I'll let you tee it up, and then you work it with Brian. We've got
00:31:41.680
21 minutes in this segment. I want you guys to take the entirety of it. Go ahead, sir.
00:31:45.980
Good. Thanks, Steve. Now, Brian, I'm going to toss to you in a few minutes, but I'm going to just start
00:31:52.640
off with this. The Sequoia-China-Biden administration story is not easy to unpack, but I'm going to start
00:32:01.600
here. As the Wall Street Journal and the congressional investigators are laying out for the American
00:32:08.380
public. President Biden has been compromised by his relationship with China, going back to when he was
00:32:16.100
a vice president. As reported, there was agreements to defer compensation to the Biden family business
00:32:25.700
elements. Now, the FBI, the Department of Justice, and the Securities Exchange Commission, who should be
00:32:33.040
protecting American national and economic security interests and pursuing criminal activities, whether
00:32:38.260
they're by Americans or American elected officials or Chinese business entities and Chinese business
00:32:44.400
leaders that are breaking the law in America, they're not doing their job. They're covering this stuff up.
00:32:50.400
Why? Because Sequoia Capital, Sequoia Capital China, and Neil Shen, and the Chinese Communist Party,
00:32:57.380
as the DNI and CIA have reported, use these business types of relationships and preferential
00:33:04.500
treatment. They become rainmakers, and they set a trap for American businesses, whether it's a Boeing or
00:33:12.540
a venture capital firm. They provide the bait, and the bait is you're going to make a lot of money,
00:33:18.700
it's going to be protected, and we just want you to do certain things to help us influence,
00:33:23.880
and we will both mutually benefit. These venture capitalists, the bankers, etc., American elite
00:33:30.700
corporate entities, who then contribute to democratic causes. Now, how does this work?
00:33:39.180
Well, when you invest in China, and the gateway, the guarantor of that is like Sequoia Capital and
00:33:46.540
this person, Neil Shen, they navigate, and they've got the protection of the Chinese Communist Party
00:33:51.740
to assure that they're going to make money. So let's look at an example. Last year, in 2022,
00:33:58.420
Neil Shen coordinated the raising of over $9 billion from the likes of Stanford University,
00:34:06.880
Notre Dame endowments, other business enterprises, banks, etc. And that money was invested into China,
00:34:18.340
into microchip business development. Exactly what the Biden administration has on one hand said,
00:34:26.860
they're trying to deter American tech capability and microchip capability going to China. So on one hand,
00:34:35.120
they say these things. On the other hand, this money is going over there. When Sequoia Capital and
00:34:40.660
these firms make a lot of money, they then turn that money and it comes out, in many cases,
00:34:47.340
tax free. And I would like to turn it over right now and let Brian explain something called Crankstart,
00:34:54.600
which is a foundation set up by Mr. Moritz, who's a partner of Sequoia Capital, worth about $4 billion.
00:35:06.460
Hey, Steve. Hey, Derek. Thanks for having me on. So hit on Crankstart. So there's two principles
00:35:14.260
that have previously run Sequoia Capital, Michael Moritz and Doug Lione. Moritz is a big Democratic
00:35:21.780
donor, a big Biden donor through PACRADM and several of the PACs. He's also one of Nancy Pelosi's
00:35:28.380
neighbor up in a ritzy area of San Francisco. So his nonprofit holds a bunch of his Sequoia China
00:35:36.740
investments. So any one of your viewers can go on ProPublica.com. They can look up Crankstart and
00:35:42.940
see that there's a $4.2 billion nonprofit there controlled by Michael Moritz. It shows his China
00:35:50.180
investments, his China funds that are from his relationship at Sequoia. And then that money flows
00:35:57.400
back in to Crankstart with no taxes because it's a foundation. And then it's used to fund
00:36:04.800
woke programs across San Francisco, universities, and then $20 million was dumped in. $20 million
00:36:12.060
that we know of, right? The last report was 2019, 2020, 2021, 22, having come out into the ACLU,
00:36:20.540
who then lobbies to not have TikTok banned. And they also lobby to end the DOJ China initiative.
00:36:28.940
Oh, hang on a second. Hang on a second, Brian. I just want to make sure I understand something
00:36:35.380
and the audience understands it. And Derek, jump in here. Brian, this is that scam they've got that
00:36:41.300
all the big tech billionaires and Microsoft, I want to make sure the audience understands what's going
00:36:46.160
on here. They take their stock or they take... They get this stock very cheaply. It's successful.
00:36:52.700
They've got billions of dollars of value creation in these stocks. And instead of having to monetize
00:36:58.880
them and pay these exorbitant taxes, they essentially shift the stocks over to a foundation,
00:37:04.440
totally tax-free. And that foundation can then do all their political and philanthropic,
00:37:09.420
and they can still get cash out of it, et cetera. I mean, I have been told by the hedge fund guys on
00:37:15.060
Wall Street that this is the single biggest scam for the super wealthy to allow this to transfer
00:37:21.720
over tax-free. And then they can cause havoc out of these philanthropic not-for-profits or trust funds,
00:37:32.040
et cetera. Is that what you're describing here? Is that what Moritz did, is transfer this thing over
00:37:36.380
to a trust fund like that? Yeah. So he transferred his Sequoia China fund ownership over to CrankStart.
00:37:44.900
CrankStart then gets the returns from Shen's investments in China aligned with the Chinese
00:37:50.740
Communist Party. The money then flows back into CrankStart and funds the Democratic Party.
00:37:56.680
And Brian, what I would jump in here with is CrankStart then coordinates the fundraising for a $300 million
00:38:06.140
fund for ACLU. $20 million is donated by CrankStart. ACLU then files the law cases and accuses the
00:38:19.340
Department of Defense for pressuring China on some of the Chinese tech issues, American businesses,
00:38:25.580
or, you know, the Intel community or Wall Street and what Securities Exchange Commission. They accuse
00:38:32.380
them of, the FBI in particular, of going after China and that they're racist. And they get cease and
00:38:38.760
desist agreements. And it's an inside-out game because the administration and the Democratic left wants to
00:38:46.040
protect things like TikTok and their money-making schemes that then bring money back in for their campaigns,
00:38:52.900
for their left-wing causes. And they are able to protect their donor class because they don't want
00:39:00.060
any criminal prosecutions or anything. I'd just like to bring this up real quick, you know, and Brian
00:39:06.320
will go into this more, but, you know, Lisa Monaco, the Deputy Attorney General, and the Deputy Assistant
00:39:13.260
Attorney General for the National Security Division are aware of criminalities across different domains,
00:39:22.480
at least six or seven areas of criminal and fraudulent activity that they are not moving on, that
00:39:29.080
active FBI officers are aware of, that it was briefed at DOJ, and they've decided not to do
00:39:37.080
anything on it for over a year. It's been buried. And Brian, you might want to go into that.
00:39:41.000
More than a year. Yeah. Yeah. So, listen, this is super important, right? You guys talked about it a
00:39:48.360
little bit on the show, but, you know, we're 5% of the world's population and 30% of the GDP for one,
00:39:55.400
world's GDP for one reason, our economic innovation engine, right? And we closed our eyes and we watched
00:40:02.600
for years as our manufacturing lead to China. And now we have billionaires who are purposefully
00:40:08.180
shifting that economic innovation to China, because the CCP will make sure they make money there,
00:40:14.340
right? So when you guys laid out the $9 billion investment from Shen, what that will result in is
00:40:21.460
$2 trillion in companies, and somewhere between 10x and 20x that $9 billion flowing back into American
00:40:29.140
pockets. So that's $90 to $180 billion that will flow back into billionaire Americans' pockets.
00:40:34.960
And the CCP will create $2 trillion worth of companies just based on prior math. Hundreds of companies
00:40:42.680
aligned with China made in 2025 and other programs. So, go ahead.
00:40:48.000
Brian, hang on a second. Hang on. China 2025, made in China 2025 was a program they started over 10 years ago
00:40:56.120
to dominate the core technologies of the future. Neil Shen and these guys were at the core of it.
00:41:01.380
Only when we started talking about it and others did she all of a sudden not want to talk about it
00:41:05.760
anymore because we realized we're focused on it. Of the $9 billion, how much of that comes from
00:41:12.060
American firemen's pension funds, state employees' pension funds, this audience, how much of their
00:41:20.580
pension fund money has actually gone into the initial $9 billion that was transferred into the China fund
00:41:27.220
that'll create $2 trillion worth of technology value for them and innovation
00:41:31.600
and $180 billion for the billionaires. Because the Greek tragedy part is the working class's own money
00:41:41.460
in this country is what's being used to destroy them.
00:41:45.040
A hundred percent. So they don't break down who the limiteds are in this fund. So we do know that
00:41:50.400
a lot of people have been involved in the U.S. areas where they're working, the U.S. Department of
00:41:54.240
Health, the U.S. Department of Health, the U.S. Department of Health, the U.S. Department of Health.
00:41:55.580
So Senator Elizabeth Warren and her office because I contacted him knew the DOJ possessed a number of
00:41:59.640
criminal allegations against Neil Shen. But yet her pension for state on state pension fund is
00:42:04.880
investing in companies in China that can compete directly with our constituent companies in Massachusetts.
00:42:11.480
And I can name the specific companies being competed with.
00:42:15.260
CalPERS put in $250 million into the Sequoia China Fund.
00:42:19.160
You know, the other thing we're not talking about, the other guys investing in Sequoia
00:42:27.300
So we know the FTX CEO had a couple hundred million in Sequoia's funds.
00:42:31.280
We don't know how much of that was in the China Funds.
00:42:33.860
We know likely Ken Griffin, one of the top GOP donors supporting DeSantis, likely has
00:42:39.060
money in Sequoia and Sequoia China Funds, and is bringing Citadel back into China with
00:42:47.240
It's our own people's hardworking money that they're investing back, impacting our economic
00:42:57.200
Brian, I want to go to Nancy Pelosi, the rise of Nancy Pelosi.
00:43:00.620
Remember Nancy Pelosi, and I was just going through James Mann's book About Face the other
00:43:07.800
Nancy Pelosi was the single biggest fire breather in Congress, even more than Mitchell.
00:43:17.680
She went to Tiananmen and got rolled up by the police over there.
00:43:21.680
Her first couple of years, she was really known as the anti-CCP, anti-regime fire breather
00:43:28.500
But her rise to power from really a backbencher and oblivion was by shaking down the investment
00:43:35.100
banks in San Francisco that dealt with the Robertson-Stevens, Montgomery Securities, Alex
00:43:39.340
Browns, that dealt with Big Tech, Hamburg and Quest.
00:43:45.200
And also, but then she went to Sand Hill Road and went to the source of the money and really
00:43:49.000
started shaking people down, including Sequoia Capital.
00:43:52.160
She became the greatest fundraiser in the modern history of the Democratic Party.
00:43:58.640
She wrote there and you notice in her rise, all of a sudden she forgot about China.
00:44:03.840
She had some great staffers that would continue to work, but she backed off of this.
00:44:08.160
Is this because of, do you believe, financial compromise by the Chinese Communist Party in
00:44:13.000
her investments and not just that, in her relationships that were doing this circular pattern that you
00:44:19.460
guys have exposed of how the Democratic Party funds themselves off of really CCP money?
00:44:24.080
Sure, I'll go back to Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Paper 22.
00:44:28.580
One of the biggest potential problems with our republic is being compromised by foreign
00:44:35.600
So the Chinese have figured out and the CIA have stated this in an ODNI paper that if they
00:44:41.220
give that investment access to certain people and those people are political donors, they're
00:44:47.080
going to then give a percentage back to folks like Nancy Pelosi.
00:44:50.280
And, you know, no one's raised more money to climb to the speaker position.
00:44:55.480
And a large percentage of that money would have came from Silicon Valley's returns in
00:45:02.960
And then what you also see, Steve, is you see these, if you look at what Crankstart's funding,
00:45:08.180
right, it's funding all our initiatives in China to make sure she continually gets elected
00:45:16.400
And, you know, Sequoia and Crankstart's already gotten behind some of Gavin Newsom's programs
00:45:23.660
But what I would like to talk to you guys about.
00:45:26.400
Hang on one second before I just want to just let me get, I want to make sure that the audience
00:45:37.620
Colonel Harvey, before I go back to Brian, and I got about six minutes.
00:45:42.080
The House Intelligence Committee knows about this, sir.
00:45:48.060
The Federal Bureau of Investigation knows about this, sir.
00:45:52.680
The Department of Justice knows about this, sir.
00:45:55.880
Certain members of the United States Senate dealing with banking, dealing with the financial
00:46:01.140
system, dealing with intelligence, know about this, sir.
00:46:03.900
Why is this breaking on the evening show of The War Room with Brian Costello as a private
00:46:11.880
citizen and yourself as a former member of the Trump administration and a career Army
00:46:18.100
Why are we doing it and not the Central Intelligence Agency, the House Intelligence Committee?
00:46:23.440
Last time I looked, brother, the House Intelligence Committee is controlled by the Republicans,
00:46:30.360
Why are all these institutions there to protect the United States of America and American citizens?
00:46:40.360
One, there's an inside-out game by the donor class and the political elite where people that
00:46:45.920
are inside the administrations and inside the administrative state in particular, whether
00:46:50.580
it's the ICE, DOJ, FBI, political appointees like Lisa Monaco, for example, and the outside
00:46:58.820
And this is where you get into beacon strategies with Jeremy Bash and Tony and Mr. Blinken when
00:47:07.780
And they orchestrated the letter of 51 former Intel officials who said it was Russian disinformation
00:47:18.760
What they do is they are protecting each other so that they can make money and maintain political
00:47:29.160
And that's why DOJ doesn't take action, even though FBI wanted it to be done.
00:47:35.440
And I'm aware of the meetings and the briefings that took place there.
00:47:39.400
That's why Lisa Monaco and Mr. Garland pressured the director of the FBI, Director Ray, to shut
00:47:59.700
So, Don Vieira, who's the chief legal officer for Sequoia Capital, was Lisa Monaco's chief of
00:48:05.300
staff, Martin Ortiz, Sequoia Capital, was on the Biden-Harris transition team intelligence
00:48:14.760
So, these people, after they're in the administration, they go to work for Sequoia Capital.
00:48:19.620
Their sons and daughters go to work for their portfolio companies.
00:48:22.500
They have the ability to direct great wealth, so nobody wants to confront them.
00:48:26.740
On February 2nd, 2022, I sat in the FBI Washington field office.
00:48:33.080
I was introduced by the two former supervisory FBI agents who fingerprinted and sat there
00:48:47.660
I documented seven or eight Title 18 violations by Shannon Sequoia.
00:48:54.120
I was told, after the meeting, to submit all future information to the FBI tip line as they
00:49:02.040
proceeded to not do a single thing at the Department of Justice, Market Integrity Major Frauds
00:49:09.360
Group, in the intelligence community, and also the Securities Exchange Commission.
00:49:17.500
Do you think—we've got to balance, but do you think—go ahead.
00:49:22.360
They then let Sequoia and Shen raise $9 billion, knowing they were sitting on eight Title 18
00:49:31.920
And that's when you started seeing Biden in the IC community and Jake Sullivan pushing
00:49:36.840
things like, oh, Sequoia should hire somebody to police.
00:49:39.820
It's, you know, it's all trying to cover after the game, after they didn't enforce our laws
00:49:45.180
with impartiality to protect our people and national security.
00:49:49.100
They were more interested in protecting the donors' investments in China through Sequoia
00:49:54.060
Capital, because that's what keeps them in office.
00:49:56.560
Brian, how do people get to you on social media?
00:50:12.320
I'm on there a long time, so I don't have a long, complex name.
00:50:23.580
Hey, listen, if you don't step forward and tell these stories, you know, I live in Southern
00:50:31.000
And I wouldn't be able to look at the braven women who I walk on the beach path with and
00:50:36.140
sit next to football games in the face, because the reality is, there's a bunch of billionaires
00:50:39.600
in the country, you know, funding weapons in China through Sequoia Capital.
00:50:53.400
Colonel Harvey, what is your, how do people get to you, your website and your social media?
00:51:15.280

This show is built to make sure working class people in the middle class in this country
00:51:41.340
Now I do, they ship all the jobs over there, but what they're doing is using your pension money
00:51:46.100
and the money you pay into insurance companies.
00:51:48.400
They're using that to actually make our enemies stronger.
00:51:51.580
We're going to be back here live at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
