there's a problem with eric cantor, eric cantor is a man who shorted, who actually shorted u.s.reasury bonds for his own personal financial gain. this is unpatriotic. now, this is one of two things, either has been giving inside information to his wall street bookie, or he doesn't have confidence in his own ability as an american leader. you know, for his own nation. he bet against his country. and to me, this is unpatriotic and reprehensible. >> how much do you think he is the cause of obstruction? and how much damage has he done to the country, in your opinion? >> let's put it this way, when john boehner was trying to come to terms with president obama to reduce this deficit, eric cantor went full blast against it and he voted, he supported the ryan bill. the ryan bill will put the deficit $6 trillion deeper than we already are in the next ten years. okay, he has obstructed any kind of progress in the american congress and in the senate and it's been a real problem. and as we all know, americans are sick and tired of having congress do nothing. and eric cantor is the hands of

one, the eric cantor that said to buzz feed we shouldn't judge someone negatively because of their religion was the eric cantoreedom and civil liberties and american conservativism, it was the eric cantor who knew he had a mormon candidate running for president of the united states. when eric cantor says we should look at people and not judge them because of their religion, he's saying to his evangelical base don't judge mitt romney because he is a man of faith within the church of latter day saints. when he says it's okay to think this about this woman and about other muslim-americans within our government system, he's saying this isn't about religion, it about identity. >> isn't it also fair to say it also may be about his fight with boehner? because in the statement he also says that it's all right -- it is wrong for us to look at muslims and think bad things. so he went beyond where you would go if he was covering just romney. he actually preached we can't look at muslims and think bad. then the next week flips. so was it he was really taking a shot at boehner and them more than he was protecting romney th

cantor said there is going to be a vote on july 11 -- eric cantor said there is going to be a vote on july 11. what is the democratic standard to deal with that? when you voted this on 20 b.g.e. in january on 20 -- when you voted on this in january, there were less republicans. >> i do not know is that will change. there are more republicans. they will pass it. they said they want to repeal and replace and we do not know what they would replace it with. they want to repeal it. 30 million people are going to get insurance with this bill. there are a lot of americans to be the bill because they could lose their jobs. people are losing their jobs. when they have health insurance through their jobs, if they need insurance for a child or their family, they will not get it. this assures insurance. the supreme court said this is constitutional. let us to something to get people working. let to something to get the economy moving, not just rehash this issue over and over again. try to blow it up and politicize at war. when this bill is in effect in 2014, the american people will be very, very
