mr. cantor and i worked on reauthorization together. he was than the majority leader. we worked on it together, and it passed with over 340 votes, overwhelming majority, with the significant majority of republicans voting for that enemy dead -- every democrat voting for that. for ideological reasons, in my view, it had become very controversial on the republican side of the aisle. i believe there is still a majority in the house of representatives. there are 41 republicans that have urged a long-term reauthorization of the export-import bank. every democrat, in my view, is for extending import-or export -- import-export bank. i'm hopeful the republican leadership would bring that option to the floor. a way to help create jobs and a sure our competitiveness in global markets. >> let's assume for the moment that you do pass the resolution funding the government next week , and that whether it is inside the c.r. or not, that there is this authority for training the rebels. octoberspend considering the use of force authorization? in 2002, just before that midterm election,

edward harris and susan new deal and today we are discussing eric cantor's new job that's right mr cantor's new gig on wall street at most and company it was announced tuesday morning that the former house majority leader will be joining the investment bank as vice chairman and managing director now even though he was a high ranking member of congress we know they cantor has absolutely zero wall street experience so edward why wouldn't who is make this offer to yeah why would. you give his offer from we're think it's clear that neither of these. guys are going to have yes financial experience because he was a regulator that said and so forth but cantor has nothing except his connections in washington so it's clear anyone who's looking at the situation understands that not only is it clear that it's because of his connections but he's being paid a lot of money three point two million dollars a year old in order to facilitate something as a result of those connections i mean it's incredible but you know will his law degree he does have a law degree any obviously has tremendous experience in c

mr. cantor and i worked for three or four months in a bipartisan way on a few issues in the last congress that we did in a bipartisan way. mr. cantor and i worked on them we brought that bill to the floor and every democrat voted for it. 93 republicans voted against it. republicans in the congress have refused to bring it to the flo floor. i talked about certainty in my speech. the republicans had one of the things they wanted to bring to congress with certainty. mr. hensarling is very much opposed to the export-import bank. we believe it has a very positive effect on job creation and makes money. the irony is the party that wants to balance the budget projects a mechanism that makes money for the treasury. my expectations are and i have urged the business community large, medium and small who are affected by the export-import bank dorf facilitating the creation of jobs and selling products by the operations of the export-import bank to enga engage, democrats and republicans, on this issue. my own view is that if that bill were brought to the floor it's another instance where not bringing

mr. cantor and i worked on the reauthorization together. he was then the majority leader. it passed with over 330 or 340 votes, an overwhelming majority with the significant number of republicans voting for that enevery democrat voting for that. unfortunately for idealogical reasons, it has become very controversial. there are 41 republicans that have urged a long term reauthorization of the bank. every democrat is for that. that would give us at least 230 votes. and i am hopeful the republican leadership would bring that option to the floor because i believe it represents not only the majority of opinion in the house of representatives but a way to help create jobs and ensure our competitiveness in global markets. >> let's assume that you do pass the resolution funding the government next week and whether it's inside the cr or not that there is this authority for training rebels, why not spend october considering the use of force authorization? in 2002 just before that midterm election, you guys held a vote then and got a bipartisan result. is that just a bad time to do t

mr. cantor, who is no longer with us, and i had colloquies week after week after week in which mr. cantor said we understand the immigration system is broken. i said, we agree. it's broken. and we have done nothing to fix it. the republicans have passed some five or six bills to fix it. they haven't brought their own bills to the floor so that the house could work its will. i don't believe that's the kind of congress, mr. speaker, that america wants. we need to fix that system in a way that secures our border and brings millions out of the shadows. mr. speaker, we need to bring to the floor bipartisan make it in america jobs bills designed to grow our manufacturing base, help our businesses committee, and attract jobs that pay well and open doors of opportunity to orkers and their families. the republican-led committee passed out a bill sponsored by mr. lipinski almost unanimously. i think it was on a voice vote. a bill that passed in the last congress with over 300 votes. and i have been asking for the last 10 months that that bill be brought to the floor. all it says is, america n

mr. cantor, the day before the election, his polling data show that he was at 75% grade the next day he suffered significant upset. i find it very interesting that most of the polling collected on this data mentioned the three other candidate and undecided and doesn't even mention my name. i am not sure why or their method in that regard but i would say you cannot have an accurate poll when you don't mention all of their names. i am in the race because they need an alternative. i am a lifelong republican. i am running as an independent because the rounds machine money bought the primary. so conservative vote was fractured, no one could get any traction. i am a strong supporter of life and i was the only republican senator in the state senator to vote against then governor rounds 2010 budget because it increased spending an additional $10 million and led to the $127 million deficit. south dakota needs a conservative choice. that is why i am in this race. clarification, in our poll, you were included in that polling and came in at 3%. wanted to clarify. >> thank you. that is so kind of you. >> lar

mr. cantor the little did we realize this guy was going to go across the finish line, and he hopefully has given new energy to other people similarly engaged either against rhino in a primary or some other form of socialist in the general election. the ruling classes really have trouble accepting new information. i give you exhibit a., shotgun joe. the vice president, who has all this advice for the ladies, as to which is the preferred gun for them, not one of those nasty ar-15, but a shotgun of course. and within days, at least one wag had a video together that showed one woman after another falling flat on her back, shotgun falling out of her hand. obviously, having not been instructed as to what to expect. and then the last frame was a lady at a range, control far, boom, boom, with an ar-15. i know someone who knows the vice president personally. he made that information available to him. this person is a second amendment expert, a firearms expert bar none. and it was like water on a ducks back. liberals live in a fact free environment. but they play for keeps because they've been tryin
