Episode notes

Today's episode goes full "history rhymes" as we break down President Trump signing an executive order classifying illicit fentanyl as a "weapon of mass destruction"—and what that kind of language really unlocks in the national security world.

Then we dig into the FY2026 NDAA: a roughly $900.6B defense authorization that gives the Pentagon more than it even asked for, locks in overseas commitments, and shows (again) how Congress will "check" war powers in theory… while keeping the money machine humming in practice.
