Here's the Scoop · Democrats Race To Replace Platner; Is the Iran War Maxing Out the Pentagon’s Budget? · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

And remember, there has been this back and forth.

It's almost right along partisan lines, but there has been a back and forth over whether the Congress could even tell President Trump, you're not allowed to continue with the war.

You're not allowed to restart major combat operations.

But that is the biggest impediment to this right now.

You know, you talk to these members one-on-one and they say, look, of course we want the military to have everything they need.

But

We need the administration.

We're supposed to be the oversight of this, and we don't have the information that we need to conduct adequate oversight of tens of billion dollars of taxpayer money.

And that's not even including the additional money that the Hill is talking about right now, this $350 billion in reconciliation.

A significant chunk of that would also likely go to the Pentagon.

So how this is manifesting right now is—

All of this money, these billions of dollars that have been spent on the war in Iran, the overall operating costs, they have to take it from other accounts.

So things like training is suffering.

Things like travel, the things that are not seen as critical to continuing operations right now, they're robbing Peter to pay Paul.

And it's starting to have a direct impact on the men and women in the military in the U.S.

right now.
