## Resource

Jon Herold walks through a detailed timeline theory that Trump may be quietly resetting the War Powers Act clock on Iran for a second time to keep Congress out of the loop, tracing notification dates back to February and July and predicting another possible reset is coming this weekend. He also fact checks Alex Jones' viral debate claims about NDAA Section 219 line by line, reading the actual bill text to show the "co equal to the Secretary of Defense" language Jones cited simply is not there. Other topics include Howard Lutnick's awkward military casualty gaffe and Trump's fiery follow up posts on ammunition stockpiles, a newly declassified CIA memo showing Scott Gottlieb privately estimated much higher COVID immunity than he stated publicly, and Nvidia's 13 billion dollar Hugging Face acquisition. Sponsor reads, a goofy decode post experiment, and plenty of chat banter round out a dense Thursday show.
