this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're
00:00:13.980
doing is blowing people off if you continue to look the other way and shut
00:00:19.140
up then the oppressors the authoritarians get total control and total
00:00:23.580
power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in Georgia it's
00:00:28.200
another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:32.100
misrepresentations is why this audience is gonna have to get engaged as we've
00:00:35.640
told you this is the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't
00:00:40.020
handle the truth war room battleground here's your host Stephen K Bannon okay
00:00:48.000
welcome one of the reasons I am proud of this show in the production staff and
00:00:52.440
the folks in Memphis and guys in Denver both in Lindale TV and Real America's
00:00:58.800
Voice and the entire production crew small as it is as driven as it is is we're
00:01:04.980
always either well ahead of stories are able to frame a story in a way that
00:01:12.260
actually makes perfect sense and becomes revealed over time we've got two amazing
00:01:16.440
amazing examples of that Brian Costello who we've had on many times is going to
00:01:21.300
join us here in a moment and and that is about this Wall Street Journal and quite
00:01:25.500
frankly a breathtaking article that I can tell you just from the phone calls I've
00:01:30.000
gotten has rocked the nation's capital to its core about revelations and there's a
00:01:36.360
lot of stuff that's not in there about Sequoia Capital and we're gonna get to
00:01:40.520
Brian Costello who kind of broke all this a month or so ago on this very show
00:01:45.800
uh the Saturday um episode of war room in the morning as things were going on on
00:01:52.260
Saturday morning Saturday afternoon in Europe we had uh Posobiec and Harnwell on and I think
00:01:59.180
we gave it to the degree in the fog of war over there and nobody knows nothing right as
00:02:04.620
Samuel Goldwyn used to say uh and as confusing the situation is that the party's changing sides
00:02:09.780
constantly uh I think our coverage that day to kind of set up in a framework was it was quite
00:02:15.400
frankly if I take a short bow amazing because of Harnwell Posobiec and uh the other guests we had
00:02:21.720
on uh Todd Wood and others L Todd Wood Ben I got a particular hat tip to you and I want to bring you
00:02:28.580
in and and I want you to and thank you for staying up in uh in uh Rome past your well past
00:02:35.960
your bedtime as people know brother Harnwell is tucks in early not a big name in the in the night
00:02:41.420
life of La Dolce Vita uh walk us through how you set it up on how you set up on Saturday and where
00:02:48.360
do we stand in this story because it continues to evolve uh constantly well Steve thank you very much
00:02:54.920
and uh good evening to you so the um to just take the war and posse back a little bit in time back to
00:03:01.660
those uh momentous and accelerating events on the Saturday when the world's media was pushing out the
00:03:08.440
story in the narrative that there was this force of 25 000 mercenaries being led by um Yevgeny uh
00:03:17.800
Prigozin to um from from Rostov up to um it's just about 1.1 thousand kilometers directly north um to to
00:03:28.280
Moscow the world's media was saying this is a coup um that you know could lead to civil war in um and uh
00:03:37.000
president Zelensky was tracking out the um the champagne and you know we took the three of us
00:03:43.240
me you and posse we we had a very sober view on this from different angles slightly on on our analysis
00:03:49.360
but none of us believed remotely uh what the what the world's mainstream media was pushing um to the
00:03:57.720
extent that at the very end of the show the new york post had published just while we were still on air
00:04:03.820
reports that um that uh Putin had apparently fled Moscow um and the transponder in his plane had been
00:04:13.740
tracked as he as he was going off to that that that that palace that he's got by the sea um and i
00:04:20.540
basically said you know whatever first of all i i'd said that you know there's absolutely no civil war going
00:04:26.940
on um there's there's there's no there's going to be no Moscow under siege um there there was doubted
00:04:33.180
that that that Prigozin's 15 kilometer long tank um convoy uh was traveling north because there's
00:04:42.060
a record or anything of that size traveling um and uh particularly and and you know this is all on
00:04:49.580
getter i said it and i excuse my french but i said it's absolutely bullshit the idea that Putin is
00:04:55.660
KGB trained will have fled uh Moscow because there's an angry cook on the war path some 250 miles outside
00:05:05.340
um outside Moscow and lo and behold Steve lo and behold the war room's analysis was very pleased to say
00:05:12.540
spot on um um what happened was a late last minute deal if you believe the narrative which of course
00:05:20.620
um we don't uh the then president Lukashenko of bielorus had broke at the last minute cease uh of hostilities
00:05:31.980
between Prigozin and Putin and welcomed Prigozin along with his uh 25 000 mercenaries giving himself
00:05:40.700
safe refuge in um Belarus and so that therefore from from yesterday morning Steve onwards and we we
00:05:49.340
were talking about all you know what's the actual import of this and i had somewhat tentatively and i say
00:05:55.420
tentatively because basically i'm the only analysis and analyst i'm aware of pushing this particular um
00:06:02.700
suggestion but i suggested you know it's a masterstroke because under the guise of coming in to Moscow
00:06:10.620
they were a progression was able to to to successfully retreat his forces without a shot being fired
00:06:17.740
by uh by angry ukrainians obviously they didn't want to rock the boat having believed the narrative that
00:06:24.540
he was heading towards Moscow you know my enemies enemies my friends sort of thing so they so they
00:06:29.100
basically waved them out of the country not a shot being fired and they went up um the the road from
00:06:35.500
rostov to Moscow and then some 250 300 miles outside um the kilometers excuse me outside Moscow they then
00:06:44.780
veered um westwards um into into Belarus now interestingly Belarus is 48 miles at its southernmost tip
00:06:56.620
from the outskirts of Kiev 48 miles now that figure should be interesting because what is it Steve it is
00:07:02.780
exactly one tenth of the distance that um that Pogosian traveled in in one day in 24 hours on his march forward
00:07:15.740
to um to um to Moscow which is 480 miles exactly it's one tenth and it's funny enough Steve it's round about the same
00:07:22.700
distance that the majority of Ukraine's fighting troops would be if they're still located around
00:07:29.740
Bakhmut about 430 miles um so there they are these troops in Belarus basically a tenth of the distance
00:07:40.380
uh from the rest of the the majority of the Ukrainian forces leaving the soft underbelly to use Winston
00:07:47.260
Churchill's memorable phrase the soft underbelly of Kyane relatively undefended and exposed because up
00:07:55.260
until this point and seemingly reading the the world's press today Steve nobody is countenancing the idea
00:08:01.820
of attack an attack um from the north from Belarus so I've got a couple of stories here and if Denver um
00:08:10.060
would be so kind as to let's go with the one here in the Washington Post and we'll just have a
00:08:16.540
a gentle canter through the news is the news developments today and I hope I will successfully
00:08:22.780
make the point that um there has not been a single revelation in the last 48 hours that contradicts
00:08:30.700
this thesis and in fact in some way that the news what scant news there is what scarce news there is
00:08:38.860
pretty much um can be interpreted along with this thesis so here is the um the Washington Post
00:08:45.180
article the headline after mutiny Putin says Wagner can go to Belarus go home or fight for Russia um
00:08:56.220
and so therefore obviously having outlined what the thesis is here they can go to Belarus so here's a
00:09:02.940
clear signal obviously the narrative is is that Putin is sort of crucially and critically wounded in Moscow
00:09:10.620
no one is particularly alert to the possibility that in the full broad light of day he's saying to um to
00:09:18.380
to the Wagner mercenaries that they are free to go to to um to Belarus and interestingly Steve elsewhere um
00:09:26.860
for example in the Economist today there was uh reports that and of course they can't make head or
00:09:31.660
tail of this but the world would possibly certainly know how to interpret this that all of the recruiting
00:09:36.380
stations of um of the the Wagner mercenaries are open for business as as per usual in Russia which
00:09:44.620
ordinarily if you're accepting the mainstream media's narrative it would be somewhat quixotic
00:09:49.500
but if you if you understand what's going on it makes perfect sense um and i'm just going to go for
00:09:54.860
the opening line here of this Washington Post article Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed his
00:10:01.100
nation on Monday yesterday for the first time since the weekend mutiny by Wagner mercenaries saying he
00:10:07.420
would keep his promise and allow the group's fighters to move to neighboring Belarus now here is the world's
00:10:14.620
media the mainstream media recasting the man that they've said is a bloodthirsty tyrant who poisons his enemies
00:10:22.940
with with radiation they're recasting him into the image of a Victorian gentleman who well you know fair
00:10:32.220
play old chap you want shake on it let's let's push it down and forget it ever happened which is remarkable
00:10:37.820
given that the intervening time period here is 48 hours and the Washington Post even found space to say
00:10:44.860
that his tone Putin's tone was both stern and conciliatory well you know i'm glad that the that the decent
00:10:52.460
Russians were able to sort of sort that out with a like like gentlemen um moving on to Belarus this is
00:11:00.140
from the Kiev post Lukashenko orders full combat readiness of the Belarusian army now what he's saying
00:11:08.380
is that he's um he's ordered the the country's army to assume full combat readiness because this is his
00:11:16.620
official explanation he's worried that they're that with the Wagner mercenaries in Belarus there might
00:11:22.460
be a similar push on Minsk as as there was in Russia so he just wants the country to be ready well you know
00:11:30.140
everyone's free to to see the facts and draw their own conclusions i would suggest that Belarus moving on
00:11:37.100
to a full combat mode is and uh is an indication that something else is going to happen and i might
00:11:43.980
just sort of briefly add Steve if two two weeks ago less than two weeks ago Putin moved a number of
00:11:50.140
nuclear missiles to Belarus i would suggest that now with hindsight we can see what the uh what the strategy
00:11:57.980
of that was was now because there are Russian missiles on Belarus if there is an attack from from
00:12:05.740
Belarusian territory south into Kyiv obviously NATO will start its saber rattling against Belarus that's
00:12:13.020
a lot less likely now if if uh if effectively to all intents and purposes Belarus is is is nuclear um armed
00:12:22.140
and i just want to as a final point to indicate how how um how the mainstream media
00:12:37.020
here's here's an article here's what they said right on the 26th of June which was yesterday this is
00:12:41.980
less than 48 hours after they were pushing the narrative that Moscow was there quaking in its
00:12:49.900
collective boots ready to fall at the at the the site of 25 000 mercenaries that we were being constantly
00:12:57.100
assured of the most ferocious most combat uh experience of the Russian uh troops fighting
00:13:03.980
in Ukraine and therefore a mortal threat to the man that they themselves have been saying is a mortal
00:13:09.500
enemy to the west here's what they said right here's what they said less than 40 hours to gain the
00:13:13.500
Washington Post though Prigozhin has claimed to have 25 000 fighters under his command the figure is
00:13:20.380
widely believed to be an exaggeration British intelligence has reportedly put the true number
00:13:26.140
closer to eight thousand um so there we go less than 48 hours and they flick the narrative from from
00:13:34.460
this being a a a force capable of collapsing Russia to just like just you know a little bit of a rabble
00:13:41.820
perhaps you know nothing nothing to scare the horses and they flick then they they switch the narrative
00:13:47.260
Steve as if they're flicking a light switch um and very sadly i'd say sort of 70 to 80 percent of the
00:13:54.060
global audience will will just you know flip top open the head put the new thought in close the head
00:13:59.420
and and carry on as if nothing you're you're you're not arguing given given given the fact that
00:14:06.540
Putin and correct me if I'm wrong as we said on or when he came up with the deal about him going i guess
00:14:12.380
later on saturday afternoon as we talked um he's um when they gave him full amnesty to go now he's
00:14:19.660
retrading it that traitors are going to be prosecuted uh also we know that the ccp is quite upset about
00:14:27.500
how Putin's handled this he certainly looks weaker right because he looks like he's less in control are
00:14:33.980
are you still are you saying that it's not some elaborate ruse to shift the wagner fighters who've
00:14:41.500
been kind of the centerpiece of this defense of the donbass and particularly back back mood to in a very
00:14:49.580
circuitous uh path draw them off the front line back to rostov up to moscow then back around to belarus and
00:14:58.060
then to eventually reposition them 40 miles from kiev a dagger right at the heart of zelinski to know
00:15:05.260
that he's not uh that he's got these mercenaries criminals uh right at his doorstep so he doesn't
00:15:11.100
have free reign as we know the the the the spring offensive is grinding down because they're already
00:15:17.260
starting to leak stories that this is all the fault fault of nato because it wasn't enough ammo there
00:15:21.740
not enough air cover all of that are you saying that you're saying this is part of obviously they
00:15:27.260
weren't paid and you know every general is becoming a warlord but that this kind of worked
00:15:32.140
out because uh lukashenko uh was able to cut some deal and get him over there and now he's got a his
00:15:39.100
own mercenary force and becomes with the nuclear weapons and this he's now a major player if not
00:15:45.020
the major player in the solution to this problem that's going on the ukraine sir steve that's a great
00:15:51.500
question um and it provokes me to to point out a certain fact here the three make if if this is an
00:15:58.700
elaborate ruse to smoke screen um a faint in order to to to basically say to the world and ukrainians
00:16:07.100
look over here what's really over there they're they're they're doing something totally different
00:16:11.580
if if it's a distraction um then look at the three players we're talking here we're talking olexander
00:16:19.100
lukashenko um we're talking ifgeny progozin and we're talking sergey shoyga shoyga who are to all
00:16:29.180
from from what one can understand these are the three people who that putin's not the kind of guy who has
00:16:34.380
friends but if he these are the three people who are are closer to him than than than perhaps uh if
00:16:41.820
he had a brother brothers these these people progozin doesn't call him your excellence he
00:16:47.100
doesn't call him mr president he calls him papa right that's the term of affection that he has to
00:16:52.620
him shoyga they they go hunting together they have them for decades they're they're they're very
00:16:57.980
emotionally close and lukashenko is probably the only world leader that that that putin can really
00:17:04.780
rely on um they're not equals obviously um but but uh putin is without doubt the dominant partner
00:17:13.660
but they are um they they are there is a personal relationship of trust here for this elaborate um hoax
00:17:22.540
to work putin has the three key players are the people that he would must he must trust
00:17:28.300
most in the world to be able to pull this off firstly because an army of 25 000 mercenaries
00:17:34.140
towards a relatively under defended moscow you need to trust the guy who's leading that so that
00:17:40.540
you know in order in in soviet days that would have been unthinkable because no uh secretary general
00:17:46.060
of the soviet union could have taken the risk that that that that whoever was leading that wouldn't go
00:17:50.860
all the way the same thing is true for the minister of defense you need to know 100 that the russian
00:17:57.020
army isn't going to join its throw its lot in um and join that rebellion is and you'll also need to
00:18:02.860
trust is the lukashenko in this yeah please go ahead the obvious fact the obvious as i said i'm sorry
00:18:09.020
the obvious fact that no generals or admirals came to putin's defense is there a fear in europe now that
00:18:15.980
this is going to devolve into warlordism that every general is going to figure out hey i gotta have my own
00:18:20.940
deal my own profit but we already know it's like that anyway because the russian military is not
00:18:25.580
nearly as effective as anybody thought it was or feared it was or coming across the north the you
00:18:30.060
know the was it the fallujah gap up there in the north german plane to conquer you know poland the
00:18:35.980
low countries and germany the low countries and uh and uh uh france so it's not the effective combat
00:18:44.060
unit because they've been stealing the equipment stealing the money for for decades is is europe still
00:18:49.340
concerned that this is going to devolve into warlordism lukashenko just being another warlord
00:18:54.780
who now has nuclear can i push back against that presumption that russia has shown itself and
00:19:01.580
demonstrated itself to have been massively overestimated i push back against that what
00:19:07.260
putin has actually done is held off um basically the rest of the world the armed world the the us
00:19:14.940
military industrial complex and all of its tentacles he's held them off for for for a year and a half
00:19:22.940
while still pushing and making gains into ukraine this is now existential in terms of credibility this
00:19:29.100
is now existential really for the biden regime 100 but also for a number of the european leaders
00:19:34.540
that have thrown their thrown their lot in uh with that counteraction um and putin you know has slowed
00:19:42.620
down this counter-offensive um to basically nothing i i would push back against the assumption that that
00:19:49.500
that they have under development that they have proven themselves to be weaker i actually think
00:19:55.100
given um that the forces that they fight against they've actually done rather well um i would say it's a
00:20:01.100
little too soon to say oh no no i'm not i'm not i'm not i'm not arguing that i think they've done
00:20:05.580
very well i think they've done very well in stopping the offensive and all the western arms i'm saying
00:20:09.740
now since you didn't see a lot of generals coming to his decision isn't everyone thinking i need a deal
00:20:15.900
like that that you're going to splinter down to different power centers where i'm not saying putin's
00:20:20.700
going to be overthrown but you're going to go back into warlordism where each one of these guys
00:20:24.700
are the big army groups going to have like his own deal and he's going to figure it out for himself
00:20:29.740
and if rostov on the don is you know the southern command's area maybe that really becomes the
00:20:35.100
southern command's area and i'm just hey we'll do what we got to do and we'll do what we got to do
00:20:39.180
when we got to do it sir um i don't know steve i don't know whether that's a possibility i don't
00:20:48.140
think so because i actually think putin's going to come out of this strengthened modern and weakened
00:20:53.580
um but of course of course if i'm wrong um if i'm wrong uh and this wasn't this wasn't an organized
00:21:01.580
um it wasn't organized theater between the three main players and progojin is basically just
00:21:10.700
crypto insane um then who knows what will happen to to russia people feared this was going to happen
00:21:18.220
to russia after the fall of the um the soviet union and yeltsin wasn't particularly good at
00:21:23.820
holding hold holding things together it's pretty bad uh you had a lot of the the push towards the
00:21:29.100
economy into the hands of of the oligarchs that we see now the nuclear missiles went north uh east
00:21:35.020
south and west and and and largely disappeared uh but putin came in 20 years ago and has held the
00:21:42.220
country together now if putin were to disappear then perhaps some of those centrifugal forces that you're
00:21:47.660
suggesting might at last kick into play um we're gonna have to watch and see as spectators on this
00:21:53.980
one great great analysis uh we're spending a lot of time on this hopefully have you back on tomorrow
00:21:59.660
we got poso we're gonna have a lot of people todd wood all of it uh where did they go to get your uh
00:22:04.700
you're up late where they go to get your social media thanks steve it's on getter simply my surname
00:22:10.700
which is harnwell that's the profile at harnwell on getter and also um in uh periodically uh written
00:22:18.700
newspapers uh news articles excuse me for for publishing on uh war room.org um and if you want
00:22:25.420
to get uh if you want to get hold of those you need to register via the website for those because
00:22:30.700
they're not on my getter feed they're not exclusively exclusive content war room yeah
00:22:39.500
that are okay thank you sir um thank you steve brian costello thank you brother fantastic uh brian
00:22:45.660
costello it's got to warm your heart to see the wall street journal today basically validate and this
00:22:51.820
is a well researched well reported story if if memfixon just put the headline up a blockbuster story
00:22:58.940
today in the wall street journal walk us through it we got about four minutes on this set i'm gonna
00:23:02.460
keep you from the entire second half of the show but just give us an appetizer here of what this
00:23:07.020
what this is and how it reaffirms what you've been telling our audience over the last couple of months
00:23:12.540
yes steve it's actually kato keep you from the journal it's actually some uh pretty good reporting
00:23:17.420
besides uh beside your outlet and a couple others on those sequoia china stuff so what it basically lays
00:23:24.060
out is how the national security council and kurt campbell had been working with sequoia to unwind
00:23:31.020
its china operation and we can get into it the second half but based on what we laid out on your
00:23:36.620
show yesterday this is very concerning right sequoia is a big establishment political donor and where
00:23:43.820
other people tend to get prosecuted and and approached when they're doing things illegal i guess if you give
00:23:49.100
enough political donations you get to work with a security council to unwind what you're doing
00:23:54.780
so um no no no but but hold it but that's but hang on that's the heart the heart of the story is how
00:23:59.660
the biden regime because kurt campbell's got his you know he's the head of the the asia pacific desk but
00:24:04.540
he's as natalie winters has reported this guy's up to his neck uh and taking uh money from the ccp giving
00:24:10.380
speeches etc they were so nervous about what you were taking to people that they basically went to these guys
00:24:18.060
and said correct me if i'm wrong is what this story says is that you've got to break this thing
00:24:22.700
up and this has got to stop so it being so easily traceable because the court is taking the cash and
00:24:26.780
funnel it back to the democratic party republican party too but that's what caused the colonel
00:24:32.620
derrick harvey to initiate the investigation of the house intelligence committee it got too hot
00:24:37.420
this was a protection racket for the guys that sold our country out to the ccp that's the heart of
00:24:45.340
the story is it not sir yes it was hide crime hide crime hide crime wait a second this guy knows
00:24:51.500
we're hiding crimes and he's still raising nine billion dollars from u.s investors which is going
00:24:56.460
to result in two trillion dollar in companies in china aligned with the chinese industrial plant
00:25:02.140
uh one thing not referenced in the article so if you see that um kirk campbell who's on the national
00:25:08.300
security council is dealing with a guy at sequoia capital named don vieira well don vieira used to be
00:25:13.980
lisa monaco's chief of staff in the national security division at the department of justice
00:25:19.260
in 2011 so the entanglement uh the head of public policy michael ortiz at sequoia capital was on the
00:25:26.460
biden harris intelligence community presidential transition team so we have you know two apparatus
00:25:34.620
people put in sequoia capital for exactly this reason to buy off washington and make sure their
00:25:39.820
employment of a member of the chinese government is not confronted you're bearing the lead again
00:25:46.460
brother because as you've reported and shown here on this story on this show with your you went to the
00:25:52.460
fbi with seven different verticals of criminal activity big report was done that report hit with
00:25:59.020
the thud on the desk of wait for it lisa monaco right as we go to break that's essentially correct
00:26:06.460
sir yeah that's and yeah and let's remember that kirk campbell works for jake sullivan jake sullivan's
00:26:14.140
wife works with garland and monaco so the entanglement here of the it's all the the cover-up of the biden
00:26:22.300
stuff the cover-up of the sequoia stuff and the indictment of trump are all the same people
00:26:27.500
all inextricably linked okay we're going to take a short break but brian costello who is a private
00:26:33.820
investor brought this forward because he saw what was going on and of course they've tried to bury
00:26:37.980
it they ain't burying it anymore that story in the wall street journal is also to give them air cover
00:26:43.180
we're going to see if there's going to be additional reporting of this because it's a blockbuster story
00:26:47.500
but there's a lot of shrapnel that's going to spread out this brian costello would join us on the
00:26:52.540
other side on sequoia capital the chinese communist party high treason selling out your nation for cash
00:27:08.860
well congress once again allowed itself to be pushed into appeasing the administration and raising the
00:27:14.060

00:31:53.660
okay welcome back brian costello who has come on this show and broken this
00:31:58.940
quite frankly massive story because you're seeing two vectors you've got the biden crime family
00:32:05.340
taking money from cefc the capital markets allocator for one bell one wrote at the highest level ccp and
00:32:12.700
this is all the the text messages and the emails and now whistleblowers coming out with uh the tax
00:32:18.620
issues and all of that but they exist in a culture of which selling the american people out to the chinese
00:32:26.780
communist party is the coin of the realm it's the coin of the realm and you've got it happening in
00:32:33.500
every aspect in particularly sequoia capital which is the goldman sachs of venture capital and when they
00:32:40.860
announced a couple weeks ago they're breaking into like five two big pieces china here the us here but
00:32:50.620
you know unawares and quite frankly it was breathtaking that here this massive operation would break itself up
00:32:58.780
so there's a reason they're doing this they got caught okay and they got caught by people like brian costella and
00:33:04.540
derek harvey derek harvey has told that mike turner and right now we got to find out why mike turner
00:33:10.780
is not pursuing the investigation is because they gave money to kevin mccarthy is that the reason
00:33:17.020
mike turner the incompetent ill-prepared former mayor of dayton ohio uh who is head of the house
00:33:25.100
intelligence committee killed this spike this investigation brian costello took in seven different
00:33:32.220
the dossiers on seven different verticals of criminal activity regarding securities or the
00:33:38.540
raising of capital or the providing of capital to companies seven different verticals and seasoned
00:33:44.780
fbi field officers field agents were dealing with this and knew there was something here that died so
00:33:51.180
the the legal entity or the legal aspect of civil aspect of civil crimes are actually civil issues
00:33:57.900
but also crimes spiked by the fbi and uh or doj main doj and the house intelligence community uh
00:34:10.860
spiked uh killed the killed the uh you know democrats one way republicans the other now
00:34:16.380
is this just the times of london picked up part of the story a couple weeks ago about sequoia had been
00:34:21.900
financing with american pension fund money the most advanced artificial intelligence
00:34:27.260
apparatus of detect defense technology the strategic i think policy institute in australia just came out
00:34:35.020
a report the other day that voice of america summarized a set of the 32 or 33 leading military
00:34:40.540
technologies uh i think that the americans are behind the chinese and 28 oh by the way and that's all
00:34:48.140
because their venture capital and private equity have been funding or they've been allowing to be stolen
00:34:53.100
uh this technology and now today the wall street journal has a blockbuster story and that blockbuster
00:35:02.140
story is how kurt campbell and other members of the national security council and biden's inner circle
00:35:08.620
went to sequoia and said hey guess what dude this thing is so in your face it's so outrageous what
00:35:15.180
you're doing we're not gonna be able to cover up for anymore so you got to go ahead and then they had
00:35:18.540
neil shen and everybody put their heads again try to break them try to cover and they wanted to go to
00:35:22.860
bed after the story that is not going to happen brian costello's on this derek harvey's on this natalie
00:35:29.580
winters is on this the war room is on this we are going to be relentless because people sold out this
00:35:36.620
nation for money okay and neil shen is an operative and an essentially an officer of the chinese cameras
00:35:43.820
party works for the politburo so brian we got a couple of clips here and i want you to tee them
00:35:48.460
up and then we'll play them what what are we about to see here because they're both in chinese
00:35:52.940
well first first first i want to read what the journal wrote right just let's let's look at this
00:35:58.460
shen stardom in china playing off what you said steve and relationship with the chinese government
00:36:04.540
started to raise eyebrows in washington he often met communist party officials and joined a top
00:36:10.540
government advisory committee so this is translation america's preeminent investment firm is employing
00:36:18.700
a member of the chinese government had nothing to do with his stardom right and this gives you a huge
00:36:23.740
competitive advantage i want to read a second thing he told bite dance it could deflect so by the way shen's
00:36:30.460
the only chinese member of uh a chinese national member of the board of directors of bite dance and he
00:36:36.380
also works for the chinese government so he told bite dance it could deflect us regulatory uh heat by
00:36:43.020
offering uh security guarantees hiring more white americans to run tick tock us and saying aspires to be
00:36:50.780
a global company so what's missing from that is what their sequoia was also doing was writing checks
00:36:58.620
into washington to keep tick tock from being confronted um so there's one clip here i think
00:37:06.140
it's the youtube clip that was referenced in the article so i don't know if we want to cue that up steve
00:37:11.420
what table to tee this up for in the article houses how's this youtube what they say about
00:37:17.500
and then i then i want to show it yeah and and just so you know the doj and everybody have possession of this
00:37:24.460
prior to campbell meeting with sequoia and i think that's important so this is shen and this is good
00:37:30.940
reporting by uh miss o'keefe evidently this is in 2016 a state tv interview with a financial outfit
00:37:39.740
in china where shen talks about the value of him being able to access information on sequoia's portfolio
00:37:45.980
companies so can we queue it up yeah let's go and play about i think it's let's go and play that and
00:37:52.220
then brian costello for our for our podcast and radio audience will explain
00:38:18.700
具体到每个项目上,确实你需要去判断企业家,判断企业力,你里面的财务,但更重要的是一个基金必须有自己的所谓knowledge base,当然knowledge base反映到具体,很多人说我们有这个投资图谱,landscaping,但这个后面就是一个重要的一个知识库,这个知识库我们必须建立起来,而且这个知识库也用一个非常重要的手段来做IT,
00:38:45.700
每个人手上有不同的这个过去的经验积累,那么怎么能够管理好你的知识库,首先这个知识库不是一个人的,是整个团队的,
00:38:56.700
我们其实非常幸运因为红杉过去40年以来积累了这样一个技术的手段,我们有内部有一个非常重要的一个database叫SMS,
00:39:41.700
Okay, so Brian, what did we just see right there?
00:39:44.700
Okay, so this is Neil, that's Neil Shannon interviewed with State TV,
00:39:48.700
and he's talking about how his entire team in China,
00:39:52.700
so all 200 people that work for Sequoia Capital in China,
00:39:57.700
which includes him who works for the Chinese government,
00:40:04.700
Politburo member number four's daughter was there,
00:40:09.700
They all have access to a database, proprietary information.
00:40:13.700
So just so people know, Sequoia's funded companies like
00:40:22.700
like all these companies that they've actually funded.
00:40:24.700
So him and his team are able to access a database,
00:40:29.700
which we believe stands for Sequoia's management system,
00:40:31.700
and take that information and use it to help build companies in China.
00:40:36.700
Well, this directly contradicts the statement Sequoia made for a while
00:40:43.700
Well, if he's a separate entity and part of the Chinese government,
00:40:46.700
why are you giving him access to information on all your portfolio companies?
00:40:50.700
And the other thing is, do the portfolio companies know their access,
00:40:54.700
their information's being shipped over to China through somebody in the government
00:40:58.700
for a couple of the partners at Sequoia to make money.
00:41:01.700
So this was pointed out as a big concern in Washington
00:41:05.700
because it was directly contradicting what Sequoia was saying
00:41:08.700
about their relationship with a member of the Chinese government.
00:41:18.700
I want it slowly, because it's a lot to absorb.
00:41:25.700
Tell the audience once again what Neil Shen said to the nation of China,
00:41:34.700
Tell him what he said his real role and function was.
00:41:50.700
and the administration was starting to meet with Sequoia.
00:41:55.700
They rolled out Neil Shen in March 2022 at their...
00:42:00.700
It's called the Two Sessions, their annual meeting.
00:42:03.700
It's the National People of Congress and also the organization Shen belongs to called CPPCC.
00:42:07.700
So think of it as kind of the Senate and the House.
00:42:10.700
They roll him out to speak to the whole Chinese government,
00:42:15.700
the entire Politburo and everybody in the Great People's Hall about the climate.
00:42:20.700
So here it was all of a sudden Shen's actually becoming an agent to speak for climate change in China
00:42:30.700
You have him at the Great People's Hall speaking to...
00:42:34.700
But I want to go back to this clip we just saw, not the future clip.
00:42:37.700
Just go back and hit rewind and explain what he just said.
00:42:42.700
These names, people are just getting into the story
00:42:44.700
and just starting to understand who the players are.
00:42:48.700
What he just said is that as being part of Sequoia, the U.S. firm,
00:42:54.700
he has access to over 40 years of information on their investments.
00:43:04.700
And the specific example he pointed to was Zappos,
00:43:07.700
which was an online shoe retailer that Sequoia invested in and sold to Amazon.
00:43:12.700
And ironically, Shen became the top investor in e-commerce, right?
00:43:25.700
It wasn't just capital that they were providing him, right?
00:43:28.700
They were providing him information and know-how
00:43:49.700
This was far after the Trump administration because Campbell was a player.
00:43:57.700
He is central to the Biden's interface with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:44:04.700
I just want to go through again what the story said and read that clip again from the story
00:44:12.700
And they were nervous because they understood that House Intel,
00:44:15.700
when Harvey was there, was starting an investigation.
00:44:18.700
And also a guy like Brian Costello was coming at it in a totally separate way,
00:44:23.700
talking about the crimes, not civil crimes they had committed,
00:44:28.700
in regarding of the raising of money and where the money was going
00:44:32.700
and how that was being raised and how investors were tracking it
00:44:40.700
I mean, there's simple questions in this, Steve, right?
00:44:42.700
When Shen went to raise the $9 billion, did he disclose to the investors that he's part of the Chinese government?
00:44:51.700
Did pension funds invest in him knowing that he was a member of the Chinese government running the firm?
00:44:57.700
So in terms of Campbell, here's the question, right?
00:45:01.700
Lisa Monaco and company at the DOJ, when Campbell met with Sequoia Capital,
00:45:07.700
were in possession of substantial criminal allegations.
00:45:10.700
I was interviewed, so I believe an investigation was open.
00:45:13.700
There were multiple people within multiple meetings with the FBI agents who helped me introduce the claims.
00:45:23.700
he knew the DOJ was in possession of crimes and walked back to crimes.
00:45:32.700
Kurt Campbell aware of the claims that Lisa Monaco's division at the DOJ and the FBI had quashed, had shut down.
00:45:43.700
I want to make sure that people, it's just like in the Biden situation.
00:45:54.700
And remember that the tragic part of this is the crimes themselves take place with your money.
00:46:00.700
It is your money that's leading to the destruction of your country.
00:46:05.700
I want everybody in the audience to understand that your pension funds are being used to fund agents and operatives of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:46:13.700
They're giving the money to the PLA and companies in China totally controlled by the CCP.
00:46:19.700
And to be to have a not just a unrestricted warfare advantage in cyber warfare and information warfare and other types of unrestricted warfare economic warfare.
00:46:30.700
But in addition to have the possibility of kinetic warfare, because they can send a carrier battle group of the seventh fleet to the bottom of the Straits of Taiwan.
00:46:47.700
Because money's coming back and people are making profits.
00:46:50.700
Costello said at the beginning, you know, the eight billion dollars leads to two trillion dollars of value and ultimate value in these companies.
00:46:59.700
There's some of the money that keeps them for themselves.
00:47:01.700
But some of that money they're channeling back in and Costello can walk you through the channel back into the Democratic Party.
00:47:06.700
Mike Moritz, the head guy over there who ought to be in prison, right, is one of the money allocators into the Democratic Party.
00:47:13.700
They're up to the neck of the Democratic Party.
00:47:18.700
And that's why Kirk Campbell's nervous for one reason.
00:47:20.700
It's not about the security of the United States of America.
00:47:23.700
It's about the Democratic operatives and money tied to Biden and money tied to the entire apparatus that stole the election and got Biden in there.
00:47:31.700
Got their hands and they're getting caught, given cash to the Chinese Communist Party and technology and information off that technology report.
00:47:46.700
You got Harvey over at House Intel and you got Brian Costello as an investor just trying to do the right thing.
00:47:53.700
And the next thing you know, they're spreading around.
00:48:01.700
We got to tamp this down because also you get some Republicans out there.
00:48:04.700
Next thing you know, you come into a Trump guy like Harvey.
00:48:10.700
They spread some cash around as this cartel works in this imperial city.
00:48:15.700
They spent some cash around to the Republicans.
00:48:17.700
Not as much cash, but the Republicans can get pimped out cheaply.
00:48:23.700
And what they did is they got some cash to Kevin McCarthy and others.
00:48:27.700
And next thing you know, Mike Turner, who is an absolute tool and people in his district should have him primary and thrown out of Congress because he's a disgrace on every aspect.
00:48:47.700
And you get him up there and he shuts down the investigation.
00:48:51.700
So it's not just the crimes of treason of allowing our enemies to get to technology and we're paying for it.
00:48:57.700
It's also the fact that all the people in the apparatus knew about it.
00:49:01.700
And they went out of their way to shut it down out of the way to kill the dossiers of Brian Costello came up with and out of the way to tell Derek Harvey, no, shut down.
00:49:11.700
And you're actually perp walked Derek, Derek Harvey out of the house Intel because of this, because of this.
00:49:20.700
And now the Wall Street Journal is given the hook that do you understand how hot this had to be for the Wall Street Journal to do the story?
00:49:27.700
Brian Costello, your thoughts about the journal story and where do we go from here?
00:49:32.700
I mean, first off, Steve, I just like to comment on Derek.
00:49:34.700
I went to a number of congressional offices and names.
00:49:37.700
I won't name names right now, but people that people know.
00:49:40.700
Colonel Harvey and Devin Nunes and their team were the only one that took this seriously and honestly.
00:49:48.700
They said, give us the dirt that's Republican dirt we wanted if it's Democratic dirt.
00:49:52.700
So they honestly wanted to protect the country.
00:49:57.700
It wasn't about political and maintaining your job.
00:50:00.700
Listen, I think the Wall Street Journal, you know, a bunch of people did really lazy reporting on the breakup of Sequoia.
00:50:06.700
They just said, oh, you know, Sequoia is being altruistic and breaking up because the tensions are high with China.
00:50:11.700
So Kate had O'Keefe from the Journal had some good next level reporting here.
00:50:16.700
There was some stuff I learned about the Campbell meetings.
00:50:18.700
There were gaps in terms of what I saw and what my experience was with the FBI and the DOJ.
00:50:26.700
The whole story is the DOJ, the FBI, the White House are covering up crimes for a political donor who sold the country out to China.
00:50:35.700
And the Republicans right now across multiple committees, the Intelligence Committee, the China Committee, the Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight Committee are ignoring it because McCarthy is in their pocket now, too.
00:50:49.700
And I find it very ironic that McCarthy decides to come out today, you know, questioning Trump the day that Sequoia and the huge cover ups in the Wall Street Journal.
00:51:00.700
So, you know, the Republican has the Republicans have a choice.
00:51:04.700
Are they going to come out and call this out? Are they going to go after this?
00:51:07.700
They can subpoena Sequoia directly who doesn't have the protections that the Department of Justice has and they can find out what the communications were to who, what they knew when.
00:51:18.700
And that's why Harvey and Nunes were a risk because they were going to be willing to do that once they took power.
00:51:24.700
So Turner had to kill that because he has to keep the money flowing into McCarthy that then flows down to him.
00:51:33.700
We got about a minute. How do people follow you? This story is developing. It's getting bigger. It's metastasizing.
00:51:39.700
How do people follow you? B. Costello, B. P. P. Costello on Twitter. Pretty, pretty, keep it, keep it pretty simple.
00:51:53.700
I'm going to laugh. There's a lot of former FBI guys tracking this.
00:51:57.700
And they said, I cleaned myself up a little yesterday because they said, uh, they said, like, I looked like I had just cop chopped, chopped, chopped a cord of wood in the Unabomber like captain. So I decided to clean myself up a little bit.
00:52:10.700
I didn't want to say anything, but, uh, and by the way, for all those people inside the FBI and DOJ, they're doing your job.
00:52:17.700
Hat tip. We know it's tough, but that's what we're looking for.
00:52:20.700
And there's some good alumni that's helped on this too, Steve, and want to see the right thing done.
00:52:26.700
They're, they're good. There's some many, many, many good people, uh, Costello.
00:52:30.700

00:52:33.700
