  Let's discuss the National Defense Authorization Act of
• 0:05
  2026. This passed through Congress on
• 0:08
  a 312 to 112 vote with bipartisan support.
• 0:13
  This NDAA is expected to be passed by the Senate and signed
• 0:18
  by President Trump with no delays.
• 0:21
  Good news is we have a fully funded military, but the
• 0:25
  downside is we are funding the world's military.
• 0:30
  The NDAA for fiscal year 2026 allocates funds across six major
• 0:38
  categories. First, procurement that gives
• 0:42
  $162 billion. Research, development, test and
• 0:47
  evaluation receives $146 billion, Operation and
• 0:53
  maintenance $291 billion for that military personnel and
• 0:59
  health $234 billion. Military construction and family
• 1:06
  housing $20 billion. Defense nuclear programs $34
• 1:14
  billion. The total defense discretionary
• 1:18
  spending is nearly $1 trillion. I love the military looking at
• 1:24
  it just for face value. I don't have a problem with it.
• 1:29
  It's when you start to look through where this money's going
• 1:33
  that you start to have some questions.
• 1:36
  In the Indo Pacific, we are handing over specs from lasers
• 1:41
  to hypersonic missile systems to Taiwan and the Philippines worth
• 1:46
  nearly $3 billion. Europe and NATO are putting
• 1:52
  restrictions on US force reductions so that we aren't
• 1:57
  allowed to draw down more than 76,000 troops from assisting
• 2:01
  with their operations. We need out of NATO.
• 2:05
  We need out of the UN. We are handing Ukraine another
• 2:11
  $400 million of your money. Haven't they spent enough?
• 2:15
  Haven't they blown enough away in the Middle East?
• 2:21
  We are fully funding Israel's Iron Dome, Arrow and David's
• 2:26
  Sling missile systems because remember, they've been using
• 2:32
  them. Then we will hand them $150
• 2:36
  million to do whatever they want with.
• 2:40
  There you go. Have a good time.
• 2:44
  I thought they were booming over there in the Holy Land.
• 2:47
  Here is Israel's government. Beggin, beggin for more of your
• 2:55
  money. That's not America First.
