00:00:39.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:59.000First, we should think, what is our ultimate objective right now?
00:02:01.000And if I think the Biden administration was being honest, what they would tell you is the ultimate objective here for them is to use as many American weapons and as many American lives to get Russia bogged down in a long-term conflict.
00:02:19.000But I think that poses certain risks, risks of escalating a conflict, risk of the conflict further involving Europe, risks, potentially of a nuclear war, God forbid, if Russia feels bordered.
00:02:31.000And those are all things that we have to include and think about in our own calculus.
00:02:36.000I think the flip side of it, Charlie, is I ask myself, what is the cost to the United States of this war?
00:02:42.000And I think the cost is simply too high.
00:02:45.000We don't really know how much money has been spent in Ukraine.
00:02:48.000It's probably north of $120 million at this point.
00:02:51.000Just to put that in perspective, Charlie, we spent $60 billion on all of Homeland Security.
00:02:56.000That's border security and everything else that DHS does.
00:02:59.000So we're talking about twice what we spent securing our own border has gone to the Ukraine.
00:03:05.000And also, it's made our military weaker.
00:03:08.000We've got the leadership of the Defense Department telling us that we don't have enough munitions.
00:03:12.000We don't have enough equipment for our own military because we sent so much of it to Ukraine.
00:03:20.000But while we're rebuilding that capacity, let's not send it all to a country that ultimately doesn't affect our core national security interests.
00:03:26.000And that's what I'm trying to hammer as much as possible in Washington.
00:03:31.000Yeah, this is a rational way to look at it.
00:03:33.000And I want to encourage you and also applaud you for having prudence when it comes to this because so many of our leaders don't.
00:03:41.000So I want our team to get a clip of Lindsey Graham.
00:03:45.000I'm not going to ask you to attack any of your colleagues, but I'm sure you disagree.
00:03:49.000Lindsey Graham says that we need to send whatever it takes to retake Ukraine.
00:03:52.000We've got to escalate this while flanked by Sheldon White House and Senator Wyden.
00:03:57.000You've been a senator now for only a couple weeks.
00:03:59.000So can you just enlighten me and our audience?
00:04:03.000What is the private chatter amongst senators?
00:04:06.000Do they really believe in this fight in Ukraine?
00:04:19.000Give some clarity to my confusion here because I do not understand it.
00:04:23.000Yeah, I think the difference between me and frankly, a majority or at least a lot of my Senate colleagues on the Republican side is that they tend to look at this in very moralistic terms, right?
00:04:32.000Putin bad, Ukraine, good, and therefore we want to support the good guys.
00:04:35.000And that motivates a lot of the underlying thinking here.
00:04:39.000And my view is, look, foreign policy is way too complicated.
00:04:43.000You can accept that one, you know, that Putin is bad and that Ukrainians have every right to defend their territory while also asking yourself, what are the risks to us?
00:04:53.000And how do we make sure that this doesn't become a wider conflict that really screws us over in the end?
00:04:59.000The other piece of this, Charlie, is that we have to recognize America is not all powerful.
00:05:04.000We should have learned that over the last 20 years.
00:05:06.000We've had a quagmire after quagmire after quagmire in foreign policy.
00:05:10.000And I'm looking around saying, man, we can only focus on one major threat at a time.
00:05:14.000And right now, the thing that I think we should be focused on is China, the risk that it poses to our economy, the way in which the Chinese are sending kilos of fentanyl into our country, weakening our people, killing our people.
00:05:29.000And when you have our own defense department saying we are going to have to choose between sending weapons to Ukraine or arming our own troops, that is not a hard decision.
00:05:38.000And unfortunately, I think not enough people are engaged in the very tough, ruthless cost-benefit analysis that we have to do when it comes to this conflict.
00:05:47.000I mean, yet Ukraine is not America, period.
00:05:50.000So in Play Cut 70, just so that, you know, everyone heard JD's opinion here, and I totally agree with it.
00:06:50.000It is that's a very interesting argument, JD, because he hasn't really been successful in Ukraine.
00:06:55.000So how would he continue beyond Ukraine?
00:06:58.000But again, I just want our audience to understand the differences of opinion here.
00:07:03.000JD, has anyone told you what the limit of money is here or what is the level of escalation that they're unwilling to get to?
00:07:12.000No, I've never been told where we're eventually going to stop here.
00:07:18.000It's very clear that I think a lot of people are willing to write checks indefinitely so long as this thing keeps going on.
00:07:24.000And look, Charlie, it could go on for many years.
00:07:26.000But just to address what Lindsay said, I mean, first of all, like Lindsay and I get along very well.
00:07:31.000He's a good colleague, but I don't agree with him on this, Charlie.
00:07:34.000And here's why I don't agree with him.
00:07:36.000I think that too many in American foreign policy leadership have overlearned the lessons of World War II and not learned the lessons of other major world conflicts.
00:07:46.000Not everything is World War II in repeat.
00:07:48.000There's also World War I, of course, which was a relatively minor regional conflict that blew up into a massive continental scale war that killed millions and millions of innocent people because cooler heads didn't prevail.
00:08:02.000So, the question here is not: do we surrender to Vladimir Putin?
00:08:06.000Vladimir Putin is clearly not powerful enough.
00:08:09.000You know, you've heard people say he might take over half of Europe.
00:08:11.000He's not powerful enough to take over half of Europe.
00:08:14.000That's not something that we should even be concerned about, not because he might not be willing to do it, but because he cannot do it.
00:08:23.000And so, when you're dealing with a weakened Russia and you're dealing with the Ukrainian situation that we have right now, I'm looking around saying, why aren't we focused on China?
00:08:31.000Why aren't we focused on the things that are clearly a national security threat to our own country?
00:08:36.000I do not think that Vladimir Putin has the ability to attack half of Europe.
00:08:42.000And because I don't think that, whether he is successful or unsuccessful in Ukraine is a much narrower question.
00:08:49.000I don't want him to be successful, but whether he's successful does not bear on the security of France.
00:10:02.000And therefore, I've said already in the last days: yes, we have to do more to defend Ukraine.
00:10:08.000Yes, we have to do more also on tanks.
00:10:11.000But the most important and the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game in Europe because we are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other.
00:10:32.000Ridiculously irresponsible for her to be saying that.
00:10:36.000To say that we are now at war against Russia, Ukraine is not part of NATO.
00:10:43.000This is no longer, oh, it could get us into some sort of a conflict.
00:10:48.000We are an errant missile away or a German soldier from being killed from getting into something that could then get wildly out of control.
00:10:58.000In a strange way, I know this is kind of a bad handoff, but it seems so coordinated that we close down our operation in Afghanistan and then we open up an operation in Ukraine.
00:11:12.000I would much rather have these clowns playing around in Afghanistan in rather low-stakes geopolitics, not helpful for the country, than focus all their energy on a nuclear-armed power and a dictator, Vladimir Putin, that we don't know how far he's willing to push it.
00:12:30.000The western part of Ukraine wants to be part of Ukraine.
00:12:34.000And it's not scientific or mathematically simple to be able to find the actual determining place, but you're going to have to make a decision at some point.
00:13:19.000Honestly, we want peace in this regard.
00:13:24.000And the very political party, the Democrats, that are supposed to be the party of free love and peace and psychedelic mushrooms, they're the ones that are the most enthusiastic to funnel weapons and tanks and missiles to increase the temperature in Ukraine.
00:13:42.000And I will ask this question again: what does success look like?
00:13:47.000If you say success is to drive every Russian out of Ukraine, you're living in Narnia.
00:14:45.000What Project Veritas has been able to do and be able to pull off is incredible.
00:14:49.000Let's play some of this tape as we're attempting to get James O'Keefe, PlayCut 86, which is hidden camera of Jordan Tristan Walker, who's the Pfizer Director of Research and Development Strategic Operations and MRNA Scientific Planning, tells Project Veritas: We're exploring how the virus keeps mutating.
00:15:10.000Well, one of the things we're exploring is like, you know, how the virus keeps mutating.
00:17:12.000He was very emphatic about our journalists not sharing this with anybody about some of the things they're doing, experimenting on animals, changing the language from, like you said, gain of function to what he called directed evolution.
00:17:27.000And Charlie, as of this moment, this is the most watched Project Veritas video in the history of Project Veritas.
00:17:36.000And we also have whistleblowers coming to us from within Pfizer, even last night after this has been released.
00:18:02.000So now not only are we getting confirmation that Pfizer is doing what should be illegal gain of function research here domestically, but now he's just casually saying we know that it came from Wuhan.
00:18:40.000But you have to be like very controlled to make sure that there's virus that you mutate because you create something like, you know, stones everywhere.
00:18:54.000But I think they're also just trying to do it as an exploratory thing because you obviously don't want to advertise that you're trying to put out features between each other.
00:19:56.000So, like, and the farm industry, all the government officials who are like, you know, they're hot drugs, especially come work for a pharmacy.
00:20:02.000Like for the military, like all the army of defense, like governor officials eventually go work for the defense company operates.
00:20:08.000How do you feel about that revolving door?
00:20:10.000Like, it's pretty good for the industry, to be honest.
00:20:33.000Well, I mean, that's the question: what can Congress do?
00:20:36.000And I have been in touch with U.S. senators and representatives.
00:20:41.000But the problem is, Charlie, is that we have a Department of Justice that seems to be in alliance with Pfizer.
00:20:46.000In fact, Judicial Watch unearthed documents showing that the Department of Justice and Pfizer were speaking to each other about Project Veritas.
00:20:55.000How do you have a justice or accountability with our law enforcement agencies when they're working in a symbiotic relationship with pharmaceutical companies?
00:21:04.000The best accountability we can have is to have these people's faces on video like this, treat a groundswell.
00:21:09.000The fact that the people on the left side of the aisle have said nothing about the story means it's bulletproof.
00:21:15.000They're probably shocked as well, but won't publicly admit it.
00:21:39.000That appears to have been one of the technologies deployed in the Wuhan Institute of Virology with the humanized mouse strains that I believe were obtained from EcoHealth Alliance.
00:21:52.000That's an example of directed evolution.
00:21:54.000The gentleman seems to have absolutely no moral compass at all about what he's doing.
00:22:02.000This is beyond a bombshell, everybody, of what we are learning that Pfizer is actively doing.
00:22:08.000And if you type Pfizer into Google, there is not a single media story about this.
00:22:13.000You type Pfizer into Google, it says FDA does not see increased rise of stroke for seniors who receive Pfizer's Omicron vaccine.
00:22:33.000Play cut 98 as Dr. Robert Malone continued.
00:22:36.000And the gentleman in your investigative work has clearly indicated that Pfizer believes that it has successfully captured the regulatory apparatus of the United States government and presumably worldwide.
00:22:53.000Pfizer has completed regulatory capture, is quite proud of it.
00:22:59.000They have completed regulatory capture.
00:23:02.000James, one minute remaining, your closing thoughts.
00:23:05.000Well, I think it's that that goes to the revolving door comments that this individual made to us and goes back to some of the reporting like Christopher Cole at the FDA, who made similar comments about a year ago.
00:23:18.000This is the only way, Charlie, we're going to have accountability is to expose these people.
00:23:22.000And we hope the people of the conscience watch this report.
00:23:25.000Most watched Project Viratos video of all time, by the way.
00:23:28.000We hope people have a conscience and come forward to Veritas Tips at ProtonMail.com.
00:23:33.000It's going to be journalism that saves us.
00:23:35.000It's going to be exposure and hopefully getting some bipartisanship on this issue.
00:23:40.000I know as Americans, we don't agree on much, but I think we can all agree that lying to people about what you are doing is wrong, especially when it comes to public health, regardless of your position on the vaccine or the pandemic.
00:23:53.000You shouldn't lie to customers about your product.
00:24:08.000And I'm going to be encouraging many members of Congress to be sending out subpoenas like frisbees because Frizer needs to answer for this.
00:24:17.000Is there gain of function research happening domestically here in America?
00:24:21.000We're going to find out, and I will personally lobby for that.

00:26:01.000Right now, the RNC is meeting in Dana Point, California.
00:26:05.000And there are some questions of who should lead the RNC and whether it should be Rana for a fourth term or go a different direction with Harmeet Dylan.
00:26:15.000Well, we've had three substandard election cycles in a row, 18, 20, and 22.
00:26:22.000And I would say of all three of those, 22 was probably the worst given the political environment of a very unpopular president and Biden.
00:26:31.000Huge majorities of the people think the country's going in the wrong direction.
00:26:35.000That is an environment that's tailor-made to make big gains in the House and the Senate and State House, state houses all across the country.
00:26:44.000And in fact, we even lost ground in the U.S. Senate.
00:26:47.000And so, you know, I think we need a change.
00:26:50.000I think we need to get some new blood in the RNC.
00:26:53.000I like what Harmeet Dylan has said about getting the RNC out of D.C. Why would you want to have your headquarters in the most Democrat city in America?
00:27:04.000It's more Democrat than San Francisco is.
00:27:07.000So I think you get it in real parts of the country.
00:27:10.000You attract people who want to live in those parts of the country, not DC insiders.
00:27:15.000But I do think we need some fresh thinking.
00:27:17.000And here's the thing, just practically speaking, you need grassroots Republicans to power this organization with volunteering and donations.
00:27:28.000I think it's going to be very difficult to energize people to want to give money, to want to volunteer their time with the RNC if they don't see a change in direction.
00:27:38.000Do you have any personal experience with the RNC?
00:27:41.000I mean, because they'll say that Florida was one of their great successes this last cycle.
00:27:46.000So we actually ran our election assuming we weren't going to be involved with the RNC at all because they weren't raising the type of money that they needed to be raising.
00:27:56.000And so our get out the vote, our ground operation, we funded that.
00:28:00.000We focused a lot on actually low propensity voters and we turned out a lot of low props, which is very, very good.
00:28:05.000So it was very successful, you know, but that was really being driven by our agenda, our accomplishments, and us putting a lot of dollars behind this important ground game.
