Jennifer Griffin reports live from Capitol Hill on the Pentagon's ambitious $1.5 trillion budget request for 2027, marking a 44% increase from the previous year. The proposal allocates $71 billion to modernize the aging nuclear triad, a 7% pay increase for lower-enlisted troops and $54.6 billion for drone research and development. Lawmakers express concern about the war's true cost, which some estimate to be quadruple the stated $25 billion.
