It's not exactly breaking news to say that Bill Kristol and Bennett are dishonest hacks, but can they at least make an effort to not lie so blatantly:
KRISTOL: Unfortunately, given the world we live in, this [military funding] is not something we can skimp. And that’s another thing I hope the president realizes —
BENNETT: Budget cuts. The defense budget cuts, right?
KRISTOL: Well I hope he thinks about that. I mean, a lot of things that don’t look necessary — who needs the a big destroyer, the U.S.S. Bainbridge? Who needs Seals getting hours, weeks, months of training being snipers, isn’t that something that went out of fashion 70 years go? You can imagine people making these arguments. And it turns out, a lot of these things turn out to be important. ... And I do hope it makes him sort of understand that there’s no substitute for having a strong and large military, honestly.
