Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Before I begin my questions, I'd like to take a moment to highlight the true costs of this war, both for the military and everyday Americans. The true cost of the President's illegal war with Iran [includes] 14 brave US service members [who] have been killed and more than 400 have been wounded. We burned through over $25 billion in taxpayer money with no end in sight. The fiscal year 27 budget request is a massive 42% increase from last year. (00:13–00:17)
