this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:10.680
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:18.440
get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in
00:00:23.900
Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:28.340
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:32.620
the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's
00:00:39.660
your host Stephen K Bannon okay welcome it's Wednesday 28 June year of our Lord 2023 got a lot
00:00:47.200
to get a lot to get to today and I want to start with Brian Costello Brian you made the front page
00:00:55.300
or the Sequoia story made the front page of the Wall Street Journal if Memphis can can pull that
00:00:59.740
up I think we've got we can show that Brian talk to us about this article a lot's going on my phone's
00:01:06.080
been blown up in the last two days you've gone on there it is right there the Wall Street Journal
00:01:10.860
page one story already people because McCarthy had a very bad day on Wall Street yesterday the
00:01:18.820
they've CNN has said they call MSNBC but he groveled the Trump
00:01:25.300
after he you know he said Trump wasn't the best candidate then he groveled to Trump and got a
00:01:30.680
puff piece written with some quotes and exclusive over at Breitbart but he groveled to Trump to
00:01:35.500
apologize and then his henchmen we talked about last hour Paul Ryan came out and said Trump was
00:01:40.220
dangerous that Trump could win and that was dangerous for the country so this elite in the
00:01:46.360
Republican Party is quickly closing ranks Brian give us an update on this story it's starting to
00:01:51.800
metastasize now we know there's a lot of work going behind the scenes talk to us about uh Sequoia
00:01:57.240
Capital finally had their debut here in the Wall Street Journal yeah Steve I don't know if uh
00:02:03.140
I'll speak for McCarthy's having a better day today because he's with Kevin Turner in Ohio so
00:02:07.540
uh not Kevin not Kevin not Kevin hang on hang on hang on it's Mike Turner Mike Turner Mike
00:02:14.180
Mike Turner sorry Mike Turner I should know that so what is he that's a very important element of the
00:02:19.460
story what is he doing with Mike Turner out in uh out in Ohio today Mike Turner is the head of the
00:02:24.300
Republican head of the Intelligence Committee that shut down the investigation into Sequoia
00:02:29.620
walk us through what why is important they're at some sort of while Weinstraub who's on uh
00:02:36.540
Representative Weinstraub who's on the Intelligence Committee and one of the higher ranking members is uh
00:02:40.940
uh there too uh they're at some ceremony coincidentally in Ohio today as as the
00:02:46.160
Sequoia cover-up in the house intel with Turner breaks as you know McCarthy's getting rung through
00:02:52.240
the the mill because of a bunch of Turner's actions uh related to one of his top donors it's just
00:02:58.840
coincidental that they're there today I don't know what ceremony they're actually at Steve but
00:03:03.440
they're at some opening of something talk talk talk talk to me talk to me about when you say he's
00:03:08.900
being rung through the the ringer he's being put through the ringer because of activities related to
00:03:13.800
his biggest donor Sequoia Capital and the cover-up Walker I want our audience understand Sequoia
00:03:19.880
Capital McCarthy what they did and what's the cover-up let's connect let's lay out the building
00:03:25.740
blocks and then connect them yeah so like as you as you covered on your show Steve it was it was an
00:03:31.280
open secret in Washington that America's preeminent venture firm Sequoia Capital the guy running their
00:03:38.120
Chinese fund but also one of the global stewards of the whole firm was a guy named Neil Shen who works
00:03:43.900
for the Chinese government so there was a lot of concern as the investment the investments were
00:03:48.980
going more and more directly towards weapons and things that impacted our national security
00:03:53.080
but the risk of the flow of capital to investments was uh uh getting more and more questioned in terms
00:04:00.100
of the profit everybody was making so there were two investigations going on Nunes opened after the
00:04:05.040
Russia hoax investigation put the whole team that was remaining there uh Colonel Harvey Colonel Pappas
00:04:11.140
other folks it was the team that cash was on on the China investigation uh to look at how Wall
00:04:17.620
Street was using uh or how the CCP was using Wall Street in China it's actually interesting Steve you see
00:04:24.340
in the news today she's going directly to the business leaders now because he doesn't isn't getting
00:04:29.180
what he necessarily wants from the U.S. government I don't know if it isn't what he gets wants he
00:04:33.900
doesn't respect him enough to even deal with him he knows who's running the country and it's the
00:04:37.520
folks in there the folks stuff in the politicians pockets so he's going directly to the business
00:04:42.800
community today so Nunes and Harvey ahead of the curve again were investigating this in parallel
00:04:49.140
the SEC should have been investigating Gary Gensler who was Hillary Clinton's CFO of her campaign
00:04:56.880
signing the checks for the Russia hoax uh is now the chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission
00:05:02.500
he should have been investigating Shen from Sequoia with two associates and a number of claims that I
00:05:08.480
brought to the SEC and then there should have been a third investigation which is the FBI and the DOJ
00:05:14.620
which was ongoing so there were three investigations kind of happening in parallel so back to your
00:05:21.140
question about Turner when Nunes left Turner shut down the investigation he walked the team
00:05:28.720
that did the Russia hoax investigation and uncovered the weaponization of the Department of Justice and
00:05:35.500
Intelligence community out the door he shut the China investigation down Sequoia never responded to
00:05:41.540
the questionnaire and Doug Leone and his wife from Sequoia started becoming McCarthy's top donor
00:05:49.300
and I don't know and I believe two of McCarthy's people were briefed on the Sequoia investigation and I
00:05:57.980
know I sent an email to one of them over a year ago warning them that I was a source for a house intel
00:06:05.380
investigation and this is one of McCarthy's direct reports that handles national security and that they
00:06:12.120
should be very careful with the money they were taking from Sequoia I never received a response
00:06:18.180
that's a hang on hang on that's a bombshell stop you're saying that you went and this is after so
00:06:24.780
people have to understand there's three lines of inquiry here one there's a house intel and this is
00:06:30.340
the reason Nunez and you go back in time we're starting to actually have some public hearings the whole
00:06:35.620
formation of Mike Gallagher's the China the select committee on China came out of public hearings
00:06:43.640
that Devin Nunez was doing in regards to China internally they said we really got to ramp this
00:06:50.760
investigation up from the house intel side and what he did is he deputized Pappas and Colonel Harvey
00:06:57.500
his top two guys to really get serious about this what they did is first they looked around they talked
00:07:02.860
and they it's quite because as Costello said it's an open secret what they did is they sent a letter
00:07:09.320
of inquiry to to go ahead they sent a letter of inquiry to to Sequoia in addition the SEC should
00:07:15.560
have had something with all the securities violations and the FBI DOJ was doing something but the bombshell
00:07:21.160
here is you said you went directly to you went directly to the direct report for national security for
00:07:27.060
McCarthy and you told them that they about the house intel investigation they shouldn't
00:07:32.780
shut it down and about taking money from Sequoia yeah I was a source for the investigation I was
00:07:37.700
there who anybody who needed it to provide them the information to help the country and that I saw
00:07:44.560
that Sequoia was now making donations to McCarthy and that they should be very careful with that there's
00:07:49.200
claims sitting and people need to know Steve the the house intel and the China committee are select
00:07:55.160
committees so Speaker McCarthy appoints directly who's running those and who's on the committees they're
00:08:01.700
not they don't go through the standard committee process and here's another one for your show
00:08:08.220
and I actually think he's doing really good work but after Colonel Harvey and I were on Fox in November
00:08:15.000
and some of the Sequoia news started to break Maria asked Representative Gallagher who's running the
00:08:22.320
committee about Sequoia and we could probably get this clip at some point but what he said was we're
00:08:29.680
doing so we did some really good work in the house intel committee on that well if the really good
00:08:35.340
work is shutting down the investigation and letting Sequoia be the only firm that didn't respond what's
00:08:41.140
bad work talk about their arrogance about not responding I think Harvey sent him two letters two
00:08:48.040
letters of inquiry to turn over the following documents or be subpoenaed they don't even answer what
00:08:53.020
they their answer is to pay Kevin McCarthy to send and and people understand it they've got a whole
00:08:59.540
cash flow they have a whole cash flow machine under Mike Moritz that goes right to Democrats in fact
00:09:03.500
they give well 10 times more to Democrats they give to Republicans so now we do know right he wrote
00:09:09.740
checks to McCarthy and they don Vieira from Sequoia uh who used to be in the national security division
00:09:17.220
under Monaco and before that he was actually one of the councils for hip cities so he knows the process
00:09:22.160
and the importance of that in terms of protecting the country really well Don Vieira Sequoia's you know
00:09:27.620
uh chief lieutenant in Washington is he changed his title chief legal officer public policy officer
00:09:33.240
he started meeting with the national security folks so when house intel was going to do a criminal referral
00:09:39.500
was going to get subpoena power uh and has subpoena power when McCarthy became speaker in the house
00:09:47.160
flipped in January Sequoia doesn't respond they start writing checks to McCarthy one of the principles
00:09:52.880
from Sequoia um and they start doing there's all sorts of other stuff Steve in terms of Moritz does
00:09:59.440
to the Democrats where there's non-profits uh you know funding the demise of the uh the China program
00:10:05.460
at the DOJ and all these other things through the ACLU and through these vehicles they use and that
00:10:09.740
hold it hold on whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa let's unpack that right now what do you mean what
00:10:14.080
Moritz does so because here's the thing this this is people senior people in our government this the
00:10:18.960
elites in our country that are in bed and business partners with the Chinese Communist Party has sold
00:10:23.560
us out for money walk me through Moritz so so Sequoia was is basically it has a partnership structure
00:10:29.560
because it's a venture firm but it's basically right it's been run for years by two people Michael
00:10:33.140
Moritz who's a big uh left-leaning Democrat and Leone who's supposed to be uh uh uh a Republican
00:10:40.000
so they spread their donations to both sides right so Moritz has a Moritz lives in San Francisco a
00:10:46.940
couple houses away from uh former Speaker Pelosi runs in the same concentric circles as Pelosi and
00:10:53.560
Feinstein in San Francisco with the big tech elite he has a 4.2 billion dollar non-profit called Crankstart
00:11:00.700
so what he does is his China investments directly with his personal money into Sequoia's China's fund
00:11:07.240
flow back into this non-profit and people can validate this you can go on ProPublica and you
00:11:12.560
can get Crankstarts 990 and you can see his Sequoia China investments and the return and how they flow
00:11:18.340
back so Moritz gets this money back tax-free I might add so Biden's all yelling about the rich paying taxes
00:11:25.080
today when one of his top donors in the 2020 election has a slush fund for the Democratic Party with
00:11:31.420
uh China blood money coming into a San Francisco non-profit tax free um he then writes checks he's the
00:11:39.700
largest donor to the ACLU from a private foundation and then the ACLU starts lobbying the DOJ to end the
00:11:46.060
China initiative so the ACLU I thought it stand for American I think the C maybe should stand for China now
00:11:51.980
uh instead of civil that the money coming from that and Moritz put in 20 20 million that we know of
00:11:59.600
into the ACLU as part of a 300 million dollar campaign from his you know friends so the ACLU then starts
00:12:07.500
lobbying to end the DOJ China initiative the DOJ China initiative when Matt Olson who works for
00:12:14.440
Monaco and Garland and runs the national security division now announces he's ending it he references
00:12:20.740
uh pressure from civil liberties unions like the he didn't mention specifically the ACLU and pressure
00:12:29.860
from universities uh to end end the China initiative so you literally have you know Moritz from Sequoia
00:12:36.460
funding Democratic woke programs in San Francisco he's already funding Newsom right uh doing this all
00:12:44.280
tax-free out of his non-profit foundation that's paid for with China money there's a lot there
00:12:50.640
Steve I don't know if you want me to I want I want you to have me slow down no no no no it's
00:12:56.960
fantastic the China initiative when DOJ announced it what AC the ACLU complaint about the China and
00:13:03.720
the China initiative was a lot more talk than action I mean they're rolling up some professors
00:13:08.760
some guys that did GMOs it's all performative but at least it was something what is their complaint
00:13:13.760
against the China initiative I have I have the timing on this so Ray did a speech on uh January 28th at
00:13:21.280
the Reagan Institute 2022 and he talked about how bad China was and I believe at that point he knew
00:13:28.240
the DOJ and the Biden administration were ending the China program because the FBI really can't
00:13:34.660
prosecute anything without the DOJ support and I believe that was actually I give well I would have
00:13:41.480
resigned over it if they were ending something I didn't think they should end like that but he just
00:13:45.720
decided to do a speech over it he did a speech over it on the 28th so when I walked in a couple days
00:13:51.880
later into the FBI Washington field office revealing these claims I thought I was gonna you know uh
00:13:58.440
receive a round of applause and an exception not a not a buried investigation from DOJ main justice
00:14:04.160
because Ray was out talking about how important this was and what we had also shared with Shen is he runs
00:14:09.940
the Yale Center Beijing he's one of the top uh donors to Yale his number two is very involved in wait for
00:14:18.320
it UPenn uh at Sequoia uh some of his business associates have actually been documented donors
00:14:25.940
to UPenn and they're also the uh at Stanford the Center for Human Artificial Intelligence
00:14:34.100
is a friend of Shen's it's a Sequoia endowed professorship from a uh Chinese national from
00:14:39.580
Tsinghua University Fei Fei Li who's uh you know was infamous for being on the board of directors and
00:14:45.920
uh at Twitter and a bunch of things that she did when she was at Google in terms of writing a letter
00:14:50.520
criticizing the Department of Defense so she's actually the Sequoia endowed professor so here you have
00:14:55.900
Shen has used his tentacles investing in companies to penetrate into some of our top universities
00:15:01.100
um and and and here's another one in 2017 Steve uh Jake Sullivan gave a speech at the Yale Center
00:15:11.300
Beijing and I believe he was probably paid for by Shen in that group at the Yale Center Beijing to give
00:15:18.940
that speech it was in December 2017 when he was sitting on the bench at Yale but when those show up
00:15:23.860
in the financial disclosures they don't show up as Yale China payments Yale Center Beijing they show up
00:15:28.800
as Yale payments so they look innocuous so you got people in the administration who are making money
00:15:34.340
from this who are now in a position to actually have to pursue crimes
00:15:38.780
in your theory of the case is this is why there's been no pursuit of this do you believe in the
00:15:46.580
response you've gotten in just this initial Wall Street Journal article I already know and I can tell
00:15:52.340
you from the Republican side there's a lot of heat being put on McCarthy a lot of heat being put on
00:15:55.980
what's your overall belief in this story I have I have three theories on why nothing's being done
00:16:01.660
I mean I know why nothing's being done on the Republican side because the complexity of Sequoia
00:16:06.080
being a McCarthy donor uh why the DOJ the FBI the SEC aren't doing their job I believe a compromised
00:16:14.440
president they've been instructed to go soft on China to maintain the economic relations I believe this
00:16:21.080
involves their actual political donors and they don't want to upset the donors you know some of
00:16:25.840
the money they get from donors flows from their China returns and the third thing I believe is that
00:16:31.340
um you know we have this Chinese artificial intelligence platform in our country called
00:16:37.720
TikTok that can deliver content based on learning about users that becomes very important in an election
00:16:43.380
to be able to you know push out Trump indicted again Trump indicted again Trump bad Trump bad
00:16:49.000
oh look at Biden's great policies look at Biden's great policies no no no no no the reason by the
00:16:54.140
way the reason they were as close as they were in 2022 is 100% TikTok uh uh uh you know Matt Gates
00:17:00.520
can walk you right through that doesn't need to be the future in 22 the reason they closed some of
00:17:04.480
these these seats around you know abortion around the Dodds decision uh the Dodds was because of uh TikTok
00:17:12.200
they're they've already used TikTok TikTok was used to reach all these young women and to reach all
00:17:17.040
that's why they had this big turnout in colleges they've already weaponized TikTok
00:17:20.080
yeah I mean the day they were talking about banning it in a and Warner introduced his bogus bill that
00:17:27.840
he knew would never get through just to look like he was tough on China and Senate Intel that he knew
00:17:32.060
would never get through Biden actually had TikTok influencers in the White House not just TikTok
00:17:38.120
influence that TikTok had transgender TikTok influencers the the ultimate demise of Bud Light was
00:17:43.920
sitting there right in the Oval Office with him so yeah there's a there's a huge issue here too
00:17:48.880
Steve and it's like okay these influencers are they paying them or are they providing free services to
00:17:53.940
a campaign which is an election violation yeah uh Brian how do people get to you for your content
00:18:00.180
because I can tell you the Wall Street Journal article is starting to metastasize also there's a lot of
00:18:06.300
heat coming on from McCarthy about what's going on here and Mike Turner uh this investigation
00:18:11.940
House Intel will be re-kicked off they can't they can't because this is now going to this is now
00:18:16.280
going to slide into criminal activity uh by them they have a China committee now Steve what's the
00:18:22.920
China committee doing what's judiciary doing yes yes uh not much China committee is okay but it's
00:18:29.720
like geostrategic we got to get down to the weeds on this Brian where do people get you
00:18:36.500
I hope as I said I hope you have uh plenty of good security because you were really out there on a
00:18:44.400
limb right now sir that's you've done a great service for your country hey not as much rattled
00:18:49.080
the cages of very powerful yeah well I know I've talked to some people in the military and I think
00:18:54.200
they have my back so I would if I'm going to have someone defending me I want it to be the American
00:18:58.000
military so the guys who talk to me remember that
00:19:00.260
okay well we're going to hold him to that uh Costello great job
00:19:05.600
the real one the real one thank you thank you Steve thank you brother um we're going to stay
00:19:13.500
on this story it's unacceptable let me just re reiterate Mike Turner Republican from Ohio
00:19:19.340
is taking his marching orders from McCarthy they have waived all this because they took money from
00:19:24.320
Sequoia and that is just one-tenth of what the problem is Mike Moritz and the Sequoia guy has been
00:19:30.100
funneling money into the Democratic Party including into the ACLU that was one of the big uh
00:19:35.440
instruments to get a DOJ to an FBI to stop the the little bit of the China initiative remember
00:19:41.940
Barr and Ray gave their speeches I would put them up about how they're going to get aggressive on
00:19:46.460
China and how China was the number one enemy of the United States the Chinese Communist Party
00:19:50.500
that initiative which didn't do great things you know rolled up some associate professors and
00:19:57.300
rolled up some individuals but at least it started putting a spotlight on this issue
00:20:01.800
nope they uh shut it down because of pressure quote-unquote from uh um civil rights groups when
00:20:11.640
this is not a civil rights issue remember it's the Chinese people it's Lao Bai Jing that are
00:20:16.600
enslaved by the CCP and the people here that will tell you like the new federal state of China and
00:20:21.900
others saying you have to take down the CCP because they're a dangerous criminal operation and we see
00:20:26.960
this from the Ministry of State Security and what they're putting up in Manhattan and other cities
00:20:32.260
around the world they put their own police stations up of course the DOJ knew that for years and looked
00:20:35.980
the other way until they had to have a counter for rolling up Miles Groh the one whistleblower we ever
00:20:41.360
had at the highest levels that knew about what the Chinese Communist Party were doing and and the one that was
00:20:46.920
giving all the information of course he's rolled up into prison uh and not out until his uh trial
00:20:52.860
of course all these other guys walked free that's it's not it this is a completely rigged game and is
00:20:59.040
rigged by money from the Chinese Communist Party the Chinese Communist Party must be taken down and
00:21:04.560
anybody that's been a collaborator with them must be tried for treason okay because they know what's
00:21:10.220
going on and they're in the employ of the Chinese Communist Party Melissa Ray your podcast has been on
00:21:16.740
fire really a special tomorrow I think it's a one o'clock once you talked about it you're you've got
00:21:21.580
a courageous reporter up there uh in Minneapolis that has written kind of a blockbuster book
00:21:27.680
on the uh on the unfortunate situation we had in was it June of uh of 2020 ma'am yeah three years ago
00:21:36.440
already you know thanks for having me back Steve so I'm the co-host of the Hope Report show we stream
00:21:40.920
live five days a week on Lindell TV Frank Speech YouTube all social media platforms but I've
00:21:46.620
really been here I am in the Twin Cities in this mecca of crime and social unrest and I've been
00:21:51.020
captivated really and burdened by the whole process the whole George Floyd situation namely
00:21:55.900
the process of really making Derek Chauvin the sacrificial lamb for all all social unrest that's
00:22:01.760
happened historically and I learned about Liz Collin and I knew about her she's a Minnesota reporter
00:22:07.680
I'm from Minnesota I was a reporter in the late 90s and early 2000s and I followed Liz's career for a
00:22:14.900
while and I learned more about her story in Candace Owens documentary on George Floyd the
00:22:19.180
biggest lie ever sold talking about what happened to Liz and her husband um former police lieutenant
00:22:26.120
Bob Kroll and she was actually you know she was a really familiar face here in the Twin Cities and
00:22:31.340
it's just terrible what happened to her how the the mob the woke mob nearly destroyed them but she
00:22:36.840
wrote an explosive book about this whole situation she is a real truth teller the book is called
00:22:42.280
They're Lying the Media the Left and the Death of George Floyd so just we're just really excited
00:22:47.640
to have Liz on tomorrow to talk about her new book she's been canvassing the state and really I think
00:22:52.940
throughout the country doing interviews so we'll we'll have her on tomorrow at one eastern for the
00:22:57.540
hope report you can find us anywhere social media Mike Lindell's channels but the book is really going
00:23:03.240
to reveal some cover-ups collusion hidden political connections in Minneapolis it and I just really
00:23:10.100
admire Liz for her courage and it tells the truth about the media and the left and really how we've
00:23:16.120
all been lied to so I couldn't be more excited to have Liz on and I've admired her career and
00:23:21.920
just thrilled to talk to her I mean we know about the corruption with BLM and about the 80 million
00:23:28.160
dollars raised after George Floyd's death it's really used to pour millions into trans causes and
00:23:33.940
by mansions and other dubious causes so it's going to be amazing to talk to Liz tomorrow I hope everyone
00:23:40.680
will join Jason Perry and me at one eastern for the hope reports we're just we're so blessed by Mike
00:23:46.180
Lindell to be able to have this internet tv show and it's grown from three days a week to now we're
00:23:51.280
we're streaming live five days a week we have powerful testimonies of people who have overcome
00:23:56.560
addiction or other strongholds in their lives and we're interested in in broadcasting truth really and
00:24:02.540

00:24:08.400
biblical discussions so come and check us out we're so thrilled to have Liz and also many other exciting
00:24:15.620
guests coming up for our powerful summer and we're looking forward to Mike Lindell's summit coming up in

really excited about watching tomorrow when you guys have her on and we'd love to have her on
00:24:56.040
you should tell her we'd love to have her in the war room because it's very powerful and I think it
00:25:00.300
kind of goes again so people think this is all the Minnesota nice and this Floyd thing what happened
00:25:04.540
and next thing you know next thing you know you're exposing corruption because there's something not
00:25:08.140
right up there real quickly I want to talk about the network got about 90 seconds walk me through

because this is a Christian-based network talk about your recovery network just give us a minute on
00:25:18.920
that and about why the the power of prayer and the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is so
00:25:23.360
important to this yes thank you so much Steve for the opportunity so I mentioned I was a news reporter
00:25:27.940
for many years after that I got into addiction counseling which paralleled my story of addiction
00:25:33.520
recovery and then I met Mike Lindell five years ago and he told me about this dream and this vision
00:25:38.060
he had to create a platform to help people struggling with addiction so a few years ago we collaborated
00:25:44.160
and put together the Lindell recovery network lindell recovery network.org it's free Mike has poured
00:25:49.680
millions of dollars into this platform to help people in it it's no cost to you you can go on
00:25:54.920
there and connect to powerful testimonials there's a church and treatment center database all of the
00:25:59.540
help is free or low cost we also have the cornerstone of our program which is the operation restored warrior
00:26:05.300
program you can go through the whole course for free Mike often talks about this being the way that
00:26:10.400
he was really filled with the Holy Spirit and led into a real relationship with Christ he considered himself a
00:26:15.500
Christian but didn't really think he was walking with Jesus so you can go on to lindellrecoverynetwork.org
00:26:20.860
go under door C and you'll find the complete operation restored warrior course so check it out it's so
00:26:26.400

okay welcome back our own natalie winters joins us natalie this has been a lot up
00:31:49.720
uh about one of your favorite topics but it's about there may be direct involvement and actually
00:31:55.000
financing by the chinese communist party so i want to take it from the top and you've heard you've
00:31:59.640
see you read the wall street journal today you've been all over this sequoia situation
00:32:02.840
you understand the rot the democratic party is essentially bought and paid for with ccp money
00:32:09.540
the uh you see that through mike moritz and the money they're funneling through sequoia
00:32:13.680
but it's also expanded now to the republican party so we have as you've been saying it's even beyond
00:32:19.660
elite capture now it's kind of elite merger but walk me through this this loud mouth who's been on tv
00:32:25.760
non-stop since he kind of got called out was it by elon musk or uh robert kennedy and uh and on the
00:32:33.200
joe rogan show and this guy went once again resurfaced he was on tv every second during the uh pandemic and
00:32:40.580
during the vaccine and now there's been some other uh investigation about his relationships i know
00:32:45.960
you've been all over this from the beginning so take it from the top and walk us through
00:32:49.020
today's subject sure well i i think our theory of the case has always been that basically the
00:32:55.760
entire democratic party and a lot of these established republicans have been bought off by
00:33:00.200
the chinese communist party and i think people who watch this show see that right you see the policy
00:33:04.720
outputs you see the weak controlled opposition china committees uh and you never really get any real
00:33:10.540
action but i think what we're learning now as the days go by is that this is sort of curated uh again
00:33:17.680
it's really just controlled opposition um of talking heads of pundits of politicians also extends um into
00:33:25.060
the realm of science and the pharmaceutical industry and specifically u.s taxpayer funded science i'm of course
00:33:31.740
talking about american researchers who receive your taxpayer dollars millions of them every year
00:33:37.640
uh from anthony fauci and now his uh his big pharma linked successor uh but a really interesting case of
00:33:45.040
this obviously people who watch the show are familiar with the names peter dawshak and ralph barrick
00:33:50.380
but what's so interesting is that these people are not isolated incidents there are a lot of americans
00:33:55.820
who have received taxpayer dollars from anthony fauci to fund research that is in not just collaboration but
00:34:02.380
frankly it's being spearheaded and controlled by the chinese communist party specifically the wuhan institute of
00:34:08.620
virology and their network of people's liberation army controlled labs and before we get into what exactly dr peter
00:34:15.620
hotez which is who we're talking about today what exactly he was doing and sort of the interesting similarities
00:34:21.620
that it bears to the whole entire covid-19 pandemic and more precisely covid-19 vaccines just to take a quick
00:34:28.740
step back because you were talking about the china initiative with uh brian and i think that that's a
00:34:33.720
really important point to make here sure the china initiative was sort of performative but the chinese
00:34:39.500
communist party vehemently detested the china initiative they went into overdrive pumping out
00:34:44.880
all of their surrogates using chinese state media and these kind of civil rights groups to decry it
00:34:50.020
as racist that was sort of the angle of attack that they took but one of the main tenets of the china
00:34:56.700
initiative was going after the thousand talents plan and the wuhan institute of virology is one of
00:35:02.620
the labs that participated i mean basically all of the labs in china do but if you read a lot of chinese
00:35:07.960
communist party literature in chinese language on the lab it's indisputable that the wuhan institute of
00:35:14.120
virology was actively engaged in recruiting foreign talents to come overseas and work with them in china
00:35:20.940
and that's why you see such a convergence really a confluence of these american scientists working
00:35:26.520
specifically at the wuhan institute of virology but the key point to make here is not just that we were
00:35:32.960
basically outsourcing scientific research and deadly pathogens and gain-of-function research but it's very
00:35:39.600
very curious like you always say there's no conspiracies but there are no coincidences a lot of these american
00:35:46.320
researchers who are caught up in this thousand talents s program at the wuhan institute of virology
00:35:53.580
in turn became some of the critics of people who promoted the lab leak theory and some of the loudest
00:36:00.740
proponents of the natural origins theory which is of course the chinese communist party's preferred
00:36:05.920
narrative on origins of coven this is where it really gets interesting because obviously the chinese
00:36:11.920
communist party makes it difficult to really find hard you know cold evidence right that the people
00:36:17.620
that they compromise are indeed compromised by them i'm not sure if you can you can hear me i will i
00:36:24.800
will keep talking um but yeah hang her for a second hang yeah sure sure sure hang her for a second
00:36:30.740
because it's coming in choppy can we get can we re can we reboot her real quickly uh
00:36:37.400
what natalie let's go and reboot natalie uh and what natalie's talking about is
00:36:44.760
the ccp funds these programs funds these programs at universities funds these programs uh in china
00:36:53.840
for people to come here funds these programs for people to work with them and this is you know the
00:36:59.460
thousand talents program this is one of the reasons they went so ballistic on the on what was called the
00:37:07.140
china initiative the china initiative was a and let me know when she's ready to go uh just just put
00:37:12.260
her back up the china initiative was not a super uh how do i say this not just broad base but it wasn't
00:37:21.380
going to go at the top levels and we keep arguing there's top level people here that are compromised
00:37:25.520
by the chinese communist party uh so the justice department the fbi chris ray don't need to go out and
00:37:31.220
make big speeches at uh at reagan library a bill barr doesn't need to go make uh on fox and talk about
00:37:37.540
they just got to start looking at the laptop from hell which they had in there when he made that
00:37:41.880
speech in january was a 20 he already had the laptop from hell that they had verified was legitimate
00:37:48.900
the whistleblower told us in november 19 however they did have this program and natalie's absolutely
00:37:54.700
correct they went absolutely ballistic one of the reasons i think they went ballistic they were afraid
00:37:58.760
other nations may may pick up on it and then they were going to have a problem so natalie go ahead
00:38:03.740
pick up one thing i want to do is just explain to the audience what the thousand talents program is
00:38:08.020
and why it's so important in their kind of overall um unrestricted warfare against the west
00:38:14.500
sure well when it comes to china's like broader geopolitical goals in terms of reorienting global
00:38:22.160
hegemony so they're on top in the united states is no longer it's not even that they want a bipolar
00:38:27.600
world i would argue they want a unipolar world where they are the sole power uh one of the avenues
00:38:33.740
whereby they've identified as being the primary way to advance that is of course science technology
00:38:39.160
engineering and math stem um particularly advanced scientific research um and the thousand talents
00:38:46.100
plan is sort of how they try to draw particularly western scientists obviously from the united states
00:38:52.960
overseas um to actually conduct their research in china to of course the then advancement of the
00:39:00.720
chinese scientific sector um as opposed to the united states and why that bumped up against the china
00:39:07.840
initiative was because a lot of these professors were failing to disclose the fact that they will that
00:39:14.580
they were simultaneously receiving funds from the chinese communist party while also receiving funds
00:39:21.880
from u.s taxpayers and again to go even more kind of meta because you know receiving funds from
00:39:29.400
two countries simultaneously wouldn't necessarily uh be a sin at face value or or a crime but it's because
00:39:36.920
when the chinese communist party has these scientists in their orbit it's not for altruistic scientific research
00:39:44.520
right it's not to actually advance the cause of science it's specifically to use scientific advancement
00:39:52.120
to the detriment of the west propping up the chinese communist party and of course all of this looming over the fact
00:40:00.040
that there really is no for lack of a better term chinese wall between military and civilian
00:40:06.040
uh science right they have military civil fusion over there so even though you might be working on you know gain of function research
00:40:13.400
just totally hypothetically uh to understand where bat coronaviruses come from genetically you know two years
00:40:20.920
later oh no all of a sudden the pla is working on a vaccine that's curiously timed with the release of
00:40:27.240
covet 19 uh into the world so that's sort of where it gets it gets very messy and you're exactly right when
00:40:35.240
it comes to i i remember back in the trump administration when ray and barr were doing all these speeches
00:40:40.920
about chinese communist party infiltration but as they always did you know they were missing the forest
00:40:46.600
for the trees they were focusing primarily on the foreign agent registration acts and how there were so
00:40:51.880
many registered foreign lobbyists here in the united states on behalf of the chinese communist party as
00:40:57.800
it stands they're around 270 um but you know hunter biden wasn't a registered foreign agent people like
00:41:04.200
peter hotez people like peter dashak people like ralph barrack aren't registered foreign agents when they
00:41:09.960
should be and i've always maintained this the chinese communist party you know when you go ccp you don't
00:41:15.800
go back they're like a radioactive element there is no way that you can be involved with the chinese
00:41:21.000
communist party take money from them take research grants from them and not be compromised and the way
00:41:27.000
that you see that is that it was the researchers like peter dashak like ralph barrack like peter hotez
00:41:32.680
who took millions of dollars in these joint scientific research programs between the united
00:41:37.640
states and china oftentimes it was du jour branches of the chinese military funding these initiatives
00:41:44.680
right ardently chinese communist party outfits funding them and these were the loudest voices propping
00:41:50.200
up chinese communist party propaganda on the origins of covet and stone and not just that but stonewalling
00:41:56.760
investigations into the true origins so i know the united states doesn't necessarily like uh to conduct
00:42:03.400
foreign policy with a strong emphasis on you know roi or return on investment that's why we're hemorrhaging
00:42:09.160
billions of dollars to ukraine but that's not the guiding principle that the chinese communist party
00:42:14.360
follows they get a very high roi on the foreign voices and foreign individuals and foreign groups that they
00:42:20.520
choose to invest in and right now with with covet and specifically the ongoing debate about the origins
00:42:26.360
you see that roi on full display because people who are american i would argue american in name only
00:42:32.440
right the people who are also simultaneously on the mainstream media networks that are also
00:42:37.080
up to their chins and chinese communist party cash and foreign influence operations but these are the
00:42:42.840
voices that the chinese communist party had been investing in and curating for decades so even if they
00:42:49.320
did release a bioweapon that is coven 19 which obviously the show we believe they did um they would
00:42:55.480
have you know immunity against it because they're rather insurance because they had a whole entire line
00:43:01.240
of defense of american scientists uh who would be defending them so it it really is calculated i think
00:43:08.200
you know it's easy to get caught up on these one individuals um but it's it's a broader network it's a
00:43:13.880
broader campaign that the chinese congress yeah this this this is what i wanted to have you follow uh
00:43:21.000
castella because he talked about the pressure that came against the the china initiative in
00:43:26.840
talking about moritz funding the aclu and when they shut it down they said well hey we got pressure from
00:43:31.880
two groups we got pressure from the civil rights group saying this is racist which is nonsense lao
00:43:36.040
by jing will tell you this the the ccp is the is the worst destroyer of the spirit and soul of the chinese
00:43:42.360
people but he also said they got tremendous pushback by the universities and particularly the research
00:43:47.960
universities i know something that's bugged you from the beginning is the association of of johnson
00:43:53.640
not just hodas and and fauci and these guys but also they're all associated with some of the most
00:43:59.560
prominent uh research universities bear the whole crowd so walk me through that because you're seeing
00:44:06.760
this is this is the way their system works of compromise and control of the united states of america
00:44:13.320
walk us through that other aspect when he said they got tremendous blowback from the research
00:44:17.640
universities and from all these prominent uh researchers and research scientists i know on
00:44:22.520
the barrack and hotez case which you've been all over that's always bugged you from the beginning ma'am
00:44:28.680
yeah well i think it's important to look at these for lack of a better term covet experts as a symptom
00:44:34.840
of a much bigger problem which is that these universities are just awash with chinese communist party
00:44:40.680
cash but obviously people know that but where i think that the real issue is is the fact that the
00:44:46.520
legislation is such that they don't have to actually disclose who is actually funding them if it comes from
00:44:53.080
foreign sources and while the trump administration tried to sort of work around that there's really
00:44:58.920
been no meaningful legislative changes to that so these universities can literally take any amount of money
00:45:05.960
from the chinese communist party they don't even have to put it in a shell company or pretend
00:45:10.280
that it's coming from some non-profit and they don't have to list it they don't have to report
00:45:15.160
it that's what we saw going on for example with the with penn and the biden center because they
00:45:20.520
weren't listing who exactly was giving them money yeah they had to show what money they were bringing
00:45:24.840
in but you don't have to itemize it and you don't even have to necessarily show which school
00:45:29.800
or which kind of subunit of a school it gets filtered to and that's why it's so concerning because
00:45:36.200
so many of the upper echelon people within the biden regime they all come from yale from harvard
00:45:43.080
university of chicago stanford and it's not just the ideological compromise that goes on there
00:45:48.520
this is like brian was saying people get put up there as fellows they get put up there to give
00:45:53.080
speeches and it's basically just i mean it's money laundering that's what it is it's a sort of a
00:45:58.440
barely legal way for the chinese communist party uh to pay people to give you know an hour-long
00:46:04.360
speech they get paid an inordinate amount of money and to make the sort of even the further point
00:46:10.360
which is the revolving door is that so many of the people who then kind of i would argue fall backwards
00:46:17.000
into government and specifically into the biden regime they're coming from all these elite
00:46:21.800
institutions take pamela carlin for example the number one school that was lobbying the doj to drop
00:46:28.760
the china initiative was stanford they wrote even though they have the hoover institution they wrote a
00:46:34.120
whole letter slamming it as racist saying that you need to drop it this is you know a horrible
00:46:39.000
tragedy of justice and pamela carlin used to be one of the top professors uh in leadership at
00:46:45.080
stanford university before becoming basically top dog at doj leading those efforts to stop uh audits
00:46:52.280
into into the elections in arizona um so this is how they do it it really is brilliant um in terms of the
00:47:00.440
chinese communist party they know money talks and these universities are strapped for cash and of
00:47:05.400
course they still want to be able to accept and take foreign students but that's why it's so
00:47:10.360
concerning because it goes all the way to the top universities and all of the people that i've listed
00:47:14.840
with the exception of peter dashak they've all been affiliated with universities i mean i think the
00:47:20.520
probably the best example too um is take the galveston national laboratory which is affiliated with
00:47:26.840
university of texas um this is a biosafety level four lab they were running a i mean decade-long
00:47:33.560
joint partnership with the wuhan institute of virology where they were training them to work
00:47:38.520
with the world's quote most deadly pathogens and if we obtained through foyer requests the the
00:47:45.480
intricacies the details about this arrangement and the wuhan institute of virology could tell the galveston
00:47:52.360
national laboratory that they would have to erase documents delete documents delete pathogens not
00:47:57.400
have any meaningful transparency into what wuhan was doing and they would have to be okay with it and
00:48:02.440
they signed off on it and the only logical reason as to why people would be okay with what the chinese
00:48:08.200
communist party is doing from a contractual perspective but even just broader from a geopolitical
00:48:13.400
perspective is if they're just paying you so much money um that you can't say no and that's that's
00:48:19.080
what they've been doing last thing for i'll let you go we only got a couple of minutes but you also
00:48:25.000
did about blinken talk to me about that uh consulting firm they had i mean we talk about it the praetorian
00:48:29.880
guard around him it's at the research university it's every step of the way and of course not just
00:48:36.120
the hunter biden is being compromised but you got blinken and sullivan every one of these guys
00:48:40.760
has got their hands somewhere in a different cookie jar that's got ccp cash in it am i incorrect on
00:48:46.280
that ma'am see this is why i both love and hate doing battleground because i get to be on here for
00:48:51.320
longer but also makes me more upset because we can follow these stories to their logical conclusion
00:48:57.160
and anthony anthony lincoln is a perfect example of that because his consulting firm west exec advisors
00:49:03.480
which was basically located at the white house not right next door one of their main consultancy
00:49:10.280
practices was advising american institutions colleges and universities on how to receive foreign
00:49:18.040
funds um if you look at their website which of course has now been deleted the top country that
00:49:23.080
they talked about was china this was quite literally what they were making money off of doing um and
00:49:29.320
remember blinken was involved with the penn biden center blinken had been speaking um at a bunch of
00:49:35.560
these universities that were of course funded by the chinese communist party um at these institutions
00:49:41.320
and these symposiums where they were advocating for you know closer ties between china and the united
00:49:46.120
states that's the euphemistic slogan that they always love we talked about kirk campbell joe biden's
00:49:51.000
asia czar being involved with cefc china energy that was the firm that hunter biden was working for
00:49:57.000
i think my point is the overall takeaway is that the people like hunter biden peter hotez it's important to
00:50:02.600
know their names because we need to make them famous and infamous because the left is very good
00:50:06.760
at doing that we're not good at doing that but you need to remember that these aren't just isolated
00:50:11.240
individuals don't miss the forest for the trees there are a ton of hunter biden maybe not on the
00:50:16.360
degeneracy front but in terms of the compromise front there are a ton of people like him there are
00:50:20.840
a ton of people like blinken there are a ton of people like hotez and if you want to find them
00:50:24.440
just look at the top levels of the united states government because the chinese communist party
00:50:28.680
has intentionally put them there like i said they have given the americans a master class
00:50:34.040
and what foreign diplomacy with a high roi is uh just look at the biden regime
00:50:41.240
