The conversation pivots to the fiscal architecture behind the merger. Kucinich reveals that the $1.9 trillion US discretionary budget now directs $1.5 trillion — roughly 80% — to the military, a single-year increase of approximately 67% from $900 billion. [1] — Dennis Kucinich "The US discretionary budget is $1.9 trillion. $1.5 trillion of it — 80% — is now going to the military. That's a 67% single-year increase f…" 11:40 To Tucker Carlson, this is almost incomprehensible: the United States is defended primarily by geography, protected by two oceans, with no existential land-border threat. The money is not for defense — it's for war. Kucinich then catalogs what was cut to enable this surge: the CDC lost $3.5 billion, the federal work-study program was slashed by 90%, food stamp and nutrition programs were cut by $6.3 billion, and job training programs lost $3.7 billion. The Women, Infants and Children nutrition program was also reduced. The pattern, Kucinich argues, is a systematic choice to arm to the teeth while leaving Americans defenseless against poverty, illness, and ignorance. He also flags the Pentagon's historic inability to account for its spending — when he arrived in Congress in 1997, the Inspector General reported over $1 trillion in unreconcilable accounts across 1,100 different accounting systems. Adding Israel into this opaque apparatus makes accountability functionally impossible.
Kucinich alleged that Israel has historically served as a conduit for transferring American military technology to China — and to the Soviet Union, as in the Jonathan Pollard case.
Israel has previously served as a conduit for transferring sensitive American military technology to adversaries. The Jonathan Pollard spy case sent classified US Navy intelligence to the Soviet Union. Kucinich alleges Israel has also transferred US technology to China. The new proposal would make such transfers trivially easy: you don't need to spy if you already have a seat at the table.
The US discretionary budget is approximately $1.9 trillion, and $1.5 trillion of it is now allocated to the military — roughly 80% of all discretionary spending.
The US discretionary budget is $1.9 trillion. $1.5 trillion of it — 80% — is now going to the military. That's a 67% single-year increase from $900 billion. While the war machine expands, the CDC lost $3.5 billion, work-study was cut 90%, food stamps were cut $6.3 billion, and job training lost $3.7 billion.
The US military budget jumped from roughly $900 billion to $1.5 trillion in a single year — a 67% increase — as Congress passed the new Department of War budget.
If Section 219 passes, this is the last vote Congress ever takes on US-Israel military integration. After that, it's managed by a coordinator in the Defense Department as routine procurement — no votes, no oversight, no accountability. At the exact moment American public opinion is turning sharply against Israel, Congress would hand itself a permanent exit from ever having to answer for it.
If the merger passes, Israel would gain influence not just over its current $4 billion in US military aid but potentially over the entire $1.5 trillion US defense budget.
When Kucinich first arrived in Congress, the Pentagon Inspector General reported over $1 trillion in accounts that could not be reconciled — the DoD had approximately 1,100 different accounting systems.
