## Resource

In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that a proposed NDAA provision known as Section 224 would be a pipe dream for Bibi Netanyahu by significantly undermining U.S. independence, fusing the US military with the IDF, and effectively integrating the two countries' military and technology sectors while compelling American taxpayers to fund Israel's wars. Jimmy highlights opposition from Ro Khanna and other lawmakers, who contend that the measure would expand military ties with Israel despite concerns over the Gaza war, human rights issues, and public opposition to additional aid. Supporters of the provision, including Congressmen Pat Fallon and Don Davis, argue that it is intended to improve defense technology collaboration, cybersecurity, and military readiness rather than merge the two militaries. The discussion also focuses on lobbying influence, congressional debate over U.S.-Israel relations, and the broader political implications of expanding bilateral defense cooperation. Plus segments on UFC champion Sean Strickland's ban from the White House, Candace Owens' exposé of the Macron's phony lawsuit against her and the House's recent rebuke of President Trump over the Iran war. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Arnold Schwartzenegger!
