Pete Hegseth’s defense department has been openly extravagant with its budget, according to a recent report that reveals a staggering $93 billion spent in September 2025 alone, which left Jimmy Kimmel unimpressed.
“Just in September, he allocated $2 million of taxpayer funds on Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $140,000 on donuts, $124,000 on ice cream machines, $26,000 on sushi preparation tables, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak,” Kimmel remarked. “How are they consuming so much food? Can you imagine Sean Hannity’s reaction if a Democrat had spent millions on lobster tails and sushi preparation tables? He would never walk again.”
Kimmel also highlighted the significant expense on fruit basket stands.
“They accumulated a hefty bill of $12,000 on fruit basket stands,” Kimmel noted. “It’s amusing, especially when he’s been saying, ‘We’re making the military manly again! We’re war fighters! Now where is the stand for my basket of fruit?'”
In addition, Stephen Colbert shared his thoughts on Hegseth’s spending habits.
