00:00:00.000The alliance of the left with the horseshoe right is manifesting in yet another absolutely idiotic propaganda campaign, this time against the passage of a routine defense bill in Congress.
00:00:09.000The National Defense Authorization Act, or the NDAA, lowers costs for American taxpayers, explicitly asserts American sovereignty over all decision making, and also protects our classified secrets.
00:00:18.000To help demystify things for you, we're going to look at the actual text of the bill.
00:00:21.000You know, like read the words on the paper because we're literate here on the show.
00:00:24.000Because a bunch of morons are out there saying that somehow the American military has merged with the Israeli military.
00:01:03.000That's not the Overarching argument that's being made.
00:01:05.000The overarching argument that's being made is that somehow Section 219 of the NDAA merges the United States military with the Israeli military.
00:01:13.000This is, I believe, the technical term for this in law is horse.
00:02:51.000Representative Summer Lee went ahead and, uh, and pushed this as well.
00:02:57.000She was attacking also Representative Josh Gottheimer by mixing him up with, uh, Representative, with, uh, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.
00:03:08.000Well, fortunately for you and fortunately for me, Maybe unfortunately, because it's depressing to be literate in an age of illiteracy.
00:03:16.000Fortunately, however, I have the capacity to read English words and understand them.
00:03:22.000Apparently, this is not true of AOC or Thomas Massey or a wide variety of morons online, dolts and clods, who are firmly convinced that if we cooperate with our extremely technologically advanced military ally Israel in developing technologies, somehow this amounts to a merger.
00:03:39.000Okay, now I'm going to point out number one, there is nothing in this bill, nothing.
00:03:43.000Nor would I support anything in the bill that merged the command structures of the United States and Israel or gave Israel control over America's actual military.
00:03:52.000That would be an absurdity, of course.
00:03:55.000The Pentagon maintains complete and total authority over all procurement decisions.
00:03:59.000The idea here is that we are going to do joint RD with Israel.
00:04:09.000In drone technologies, in missile defense technologies, in rocket defense technologies.
00:04:13.000You know where Israel is really, really good at all of those things.
00:04:16.000Because they're on the front lines and they're expending an extraordinary portion of their GDP every year to develop technologies to fight all of that.
00:04:23.000So if you'd like for America to have second-right weaponry, if you would like for America not to have access to this technology, by all means, scream at the Jews.
00:04:32.000But let's be very clear what the NDAA does.
00:04:35.000It does not, in fact, merge the United States with Israel or command structures.
00:04:40.000And if the complaint is that supply chains are now complicated, I would like to point out that if you believe that everything the United States military is developed, that every piece of weaponry the United States military has is developed domestically and sourced domestically, you're just wrong.
00:06:09.000I don't care very much about this provision, other than I think that it's good that America ought to have access to the world's best military technology so we can blow the hell out of our enemies when we choose to do so.
00:06:19.000That doesn't seem all that controversial to me.
00:06:22.000But were this provision not in there, we would find other ways, I assume, to coordinate.
00:06:26.000But I'm going to read you the actual text of the bill now, okay?
00:06:29.000Because apparently this is now required in order to debunk the stupidity of an enormous number of human beings in the X space.
00:06:37.000Quote, The Secretary of Defense shall designate an executive agent, as such term is defined in the Department of Defense Directive 5101.01, responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel to expand and accelerate bilateral defense technology research, development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial coordination, by one, identifying jointly developed or Israeli origin technologies with operational utility for potential integration into U.S. systems and programs of record.
00:07:08.000What that means is we're going to find.
00:07:10.000jointly developed stuff we developed with the Israel, the Israelis, the Israelis, or stuff developed in Israel that is going to be useful to us.
00:07:17.000Two, ensuring collaborative research initiatives involving government, private sector, and academic institutions in the U.S. and Israel is done in a matter that protects sensitive technology and information and the national security interests of the U.S. and Israel.
00:07:30.000So in other words, we are not going to pass on to them classified information.
00:07:33.000Three, facilitating the transition of technologies from research and development into procurement and acquisition pathways.
00:07:41.000Four, establishing frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements, And US based co production and manufacturing partnerships with Israeli industry.
00:07:48.000In other words, Israel will be actually making things in the United States, which is good for our economy.
00:07:52.000Five, coordinating with relevant Department of Defense components, including the Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate, Capabilities Development and Innovation Divisions, the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Defense Innovation Unit, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:08:06.000To align efforts and avoid duplication.
00:08:08.000Again, part of this is we don't want to do the same thing that the Israelis are doing because it's a waste of money.
00:08:12.000Six, promoting joint training exercises and information sharing mechanisms to enhance operational readiness to deploy jointly developed technologies.
00:08:20.000So, this is we'll exchange information with you so that we have more information when we deploy the technologies.
00:08:27.000And then it lists a series of areas in which the United States will coordinate, including counter unmanned systems, including aerial, maritime, and ground platforms.
00:08:36.000That would be things like shooting down drones, anti tunneling, and subterranean threats.
00:08:40.000The Israelis are good in anti tunneling.
00:08:41.000They just had to do a bunch of this stuff in both Lebanon and also in Gaza.
00:08:46.000Missile and air defense technologies, AI, quantum machine learning, and autonomous systems, directed energy and advanced sensing.
00:08:53.000Again, all this feels like this would be useful, right?
00:08:55.000Like we could use more of this and better of this.
00:09:23.000But again, the nonsense wins online because it turns out that there are a bunch of either morons or nefarious people who are very much focused on breaking up America's military superiority.
