" In congress welcomed with an -- conference -- he's the Republican minority leader in the house he joins me now goes to welcome the program welcome back I should say. I'm interested while the GOP's strategy is going to be are you going to -- know what to cap and trade. No -- to the public option in healthcare that no which has been planned to. Is that -- strategy."

" Yes to all of the above Stewart look. Right now we have got an economic challenges. That is unprecedented in our generation. We ought to be focused on one thing and that's creating jobs and the president approach this congress when he was first born in office in January and said look. We've got to act with pace we've got to pass the spending bill that was 800 billion dollars so called stimulus bill. Well here we find ourselves five months later the unemployment is approaching 10%. We were promised by this president that unemployment would not rise over a half percent of we passed that bill. Clearly this bill has failed so any discussion that we ought to try and do more of the same. Really is nonsensical. I'm in an -- in our opinion as Republicans we've got a plan that would boost small business investment that's how we'll get jobs then yeah."

" You've got a fantastic issue. You've got wild and wasteful spending by the government but two trillion dollar deficit the nationalization. Of various industries but I don't see. A Republican leader who's a street fighting brawling kind of guy who's gonna get the message out you're such a bunch of money skies these days what is a brawl Locke was the fighting man there. Well listen I I think. I think store what you're beginning to see is not only around the country. But in neighborhoods in office buildings and school rooms. The beginning of discussions. That really focus on the challenges of the next generation. Here in Washington I know that the Republican Party is looking forward. We're looking to see how we can help families. Envision their economic security going forward it is certainly not the way that the Obama administration has put forward. It is not about borrowing money we don't have been raising taxes we can't afford. It's about empowering people it's about getting confidence back so that small businesses. I can make investments again so we can create jobs we're going to go out across this country we're going to take the fight to the people engaged the discussion. To make sure that more people get involved in what's going on here in Washington. Over the next three weeks we're going to be having discussion on health care energy and indicates Stewart."

" I want to see a brief Ohio congressman I want to see you split in the media I think McCarthy got. The country's going bankrupt mr. congressman you know -- me that it is my -- got a -- down the tubes with -- some of those that get real angry congressmen."

" Well we here yet and we're angry too because they're no results. And we you know justifies borrowing and spending more just by having government take over every industry. And every piece of our lives is not the answer we want to government that can produce results. Job number one is get the economy back on track. We've got a plane we're going to take the fight the other side to see if we can't. Make sure that we stop some of the nonsensical legislation and trying to put some reason back in the equation let me show you how you do it mr. congressman -- what you do -- fist just thought witty but would amount that you get really high jump but that's for another day. Congressman Eric Cantor seriously it was a pleasure having you on please come back and -- we appreciate -- stuff. There -- banks got."
