absolutely horrified we're blowing dough like this. here he is with greta last night. >> so our government is riddled with waste from top to bottom and the one lesson of the sequester is that there is a lot of fluff that can be cut out before we actually have to get to things that are important like paying our soldiers. all of that needs to be done and if you cut out all the extra stuff we're doing, we'd have plenty of money to take care of our soldiers. >> brian: the military is taking way too much of a hit when it comes to sequester. that was the thing that they put in there to make republicans come to the table. in the end, it's our military taking the brunt of this. we can't get the aircraft carriers out, the f-16 pilots can't practice. it will really affect our readiness and i think chuck hagel talked about that yesterday. it's easy to sit down and cut down agencies like the irs which don't deserve it. but if anyone deserves to be bolstered, it's our military, don't you think? their performance over the last 12 years has been extraordinary. >> gretchen: the pentagon is eyeing cuts in danger pay for
