More crises and threats around the globe. never in his 50 years in the military and inintelligence. now is the time to make the cuts? if you go back, i remember an interview with bob gates in the summer of 2011. and gates at the time where the defense budget was a little over $550 billion, was saying that a cut of 10% would be in his words, catastrophic. well, what we re looking at for fiscal year 2015 right now is a budget of $496 billion. that s below what gates was talking about just three years ago when he said such cuts would be catastrophic. we re talking about potentially more and sequester adding to those cuts. it s irresponsible. let me push back and say for the people on capitol hill to say there needs to be a more agile military, a better equipped and highly technological military that takes advantage of the newest technology, there doesn t need ....

Cut certain benefits for military families and retirees. i think both parties on capitol hill are likely to respond pretty negatively to that. numbers wise, the army was down to 520,000. expected to go down to 490,000. now the cuts are supposed to take it down to 440,000 or roughly in there for the u.s. army. that would be the lowest amount, the cut to the force, since pre-world war ii. significant cut to the army. and obviously, that s going to have some pushback on capitol hill. well, it should have some pushback on capitol hill. one of the things that was interesting about the pentagon briefing today is under sequester, those numbers could be lower still. we could be talking about 420,000 rather than 440,000 or 40 450,000. jason is right. what makes it so curious is the timing. you had director of national intelligence james clapper say in 50 years of intelligence experience, he has never seen the u.s., quote, more beset by ....

When he was in office and you had an existential threat. the the mission is to deal with terrorists with a global reach. regimes like iran and north korea. and with rising powers like brazil and russia and china. you re not going to deal with them all militarily. secretary gates said any secretary who recommends sending large land armies into third world countries should have his head examined. i hope we learned that after iraq and afghanistan. the defense budget right now is sitting around $700 billion. it s 20 percent of the nation s budget by itself or more than a dozen other countries combined. and republicans actually accepted the idea with the sequester in 2011 of doing cuts to the defense budget. does that signal despite the criticisms we have heard so far an openness amongst some of your gop colleagues to actually go ahead and cut the defense budget, particularly when we talk about the more libertarian ....

Forward. this is going to the part where the u.s. needs to get its debt spending under control. yeah. this is a way to do that that won t be easy. david, just some of the items that are being reported out of that article as mentioning, one, your salary freezes for general and flag officers. military pay at a 1% rise. they re going to cut commissary subsidi subsidies. you know what this means? we ll get a lot of flak from both sides. congress members saying what about the bases in our state and how it s going to affect employment? absolutely. it s an election year. this never goes over easy. part of the reason that the military was eyed in the initial idea of having a sequester was because it makes it tough for either side to deal with. so in an election year you ll have people, veterans groups are lobbying against this now that it s leaked out. you have thousands and thousands of troops and their fanl lis and how to deal with that. people overseas. won t be easy for either side ....

Themselves. that is not any way to preserve freedom. you need small government, big army. not big government, tiny army. this is the decline of the west that we have thought would come, and this is how it s going to be. it s over. i m moving to texas. eric, part of the administration s spin has been that we ve been in we re in a time of austerity. that the past few years have been austere, somehow. charles krauthammer, i think, called that an assault on english language, but where do they get off calling it an era of austerity? we were trying to figure it out. kind of like when president obama says he s cut the deficit. he s cut his own deficit. first, he raised it very high and then he cut it. the only thing i can think of, and correct me if i m wrong, they re talking about sequester. austerity kind of says everyone participates in the cuts. if that s it, the sequester would fill the bill, but remember, sequester was a white house idea first. ....
