What was said
""The Pentagon's already run out of money because of this war against Iran. So right now you have people like Pete Hexith um the defense department asking specifically for an additional $67 billion on top of the trillion dollars that was already approved.""
Kasparian claims the US Department of Defense has exhausted existing funding due to costs related to a war against Iran and is seeking a supplemental appropriation. She alleges Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Congress for an additional $67bn on top of a roughly trillion-dollar defence budget figure she cites.
