Sen. Mark Kelly says Trump administration $1.5 trillion Defense budget request is "outrageous"

Published | Video Starts at 00:18

We turn now to Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, who we spoke with earlier and began by asking whether the Pentagon has provided an answer on how depleted U.S. munitions are because of the war with Iran. Yes, … We've been briefed by the Pentagon on specific munitions. It's shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines. … without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline. And because of that, we've expended a lot of munitions, and that means the American people are less safe. (00:18–00:41)
