DAN BONGINO (HOST): Watch yesterday's show if you think I’m BS-ing you. I covered Wall Street Journal segments and other segments where some Republican lawmakers are like, “Hey, that cutting's great, but don’t cut anything in my district.” I saw someone — I liked a tweet saying today, they tweeted to their lawmaker: “Hey, Dan Bongino’s right. Everybody is going to take a little bit of a kick in the stomach here.” Everyone. There’s going to be a weapons program in your district. There’s going to be some NGO a friend-of-a-friend may work for. Ladies and gentlemen, you want the — you want to be statesmen in the spirit of our revolutionary forefathers who gave up everything to fight the world's greatest empire at the time — the British Empire? We’re just asking you to sacrifice for a little bit for the long-term prosperity of the United States. Now’s the time. We are never going to be in a golden age of politics again like we are in the next year and 11 months now. We have two freaking years. We’re all going to take it on the chin a little bit. Rich guys, poor guys, middle class guys, someone’s going to lose their tax cut. It is time to take it on the chin. We have to fix this thing now, not tomorrow.
