RUSH: Eric Cantor, PMSNBC\u2019s election coverage. Question: ‘We\u2019re now joined by the member of the new Republican majority, Eric Cantor, the man who has been the minority whip. What are you gonna do?\u2019<\/p>\n

CANTOR: Well, first of all, it\u2019s good to be on. It\u2019s good to be on MSNBC on a night like this.<\/p>\n

MATTHEWS: Ha! I get your point.<\/p>\n

CANTOR: Exactly. Chris, that was for you. We are really looking forward to getting down to work. I mean, come on, the American people have spoken loud and clear tonight, and they\u2019ve said you\u2019ve not listened, Washington, you know, there\u2019s been 20 months of policies that just have not produced the results that have been promised and it\u2019s up to us as Republicans if we\u2019re lucky enough to solidify the gains that we\u2019ve already experienced tonight, when we assume majority, to do just that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Next question: ‘Every Republican we\u2019ve talked to tonight about the agenda, if Republicans are taking control of the House has mentioned tax cuts, extending the Bush tax cuts. That means the difference between the Democrat proposal and tax cuts, the Republican proposal on tax cuts, about $700 billion worth of tax cuts for the richest people in the country. Do you think $700 billion should be added to the deficit?\u2019<\/p>\n

CANTOR: Let\u2019s set the record straight here. There\u2019s no tax cuts. Nobody\u2019s getting a tax cut come January 1st if nothing\u2019s done. Well, listen, even if it\u2019s, if January 1 comes, one of two things is gonna happen, either tax rates go up or they stay the same. There\u2019s no tax cuts. If you\u2019re a small businessperson or even a working family, if you are somebody at the lowest spectrum of the income level, you\u2019re gonna receive a tax hike if nothing is done right now. I don\u2019t think many Americans are gonna agree that raising taxes right now is the prescription we need when you\u2019re looking to the small businesses in the private sector to create those jobs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this is right on the money. There are no tax cuts being talked about. There aren\u2019t any tax cuts happening. If nothing happens, then taxes stay the same. If they let the Bush tax cuts sunset, everybody\u2019s taxes go up. But nobody\u2019s talking about a tax cut. And, frankly, I don\u2019t care if the federal government gets starved $700 billion. The federal government needs to be starved a whole lot more than $700 billion. To hell with it. Why, especially now, is the liberals\u2019 first and foremost concern with the government? The government\u2019s not unemployed. The government\u2019s not out of work. The government\u2019s not starving. Sometimes, my friends, if I really think about it I just get livid. Final question, ‘Do you think the Tea Party will feel let down if you and Boehner move to raise the debt ceiling next year?\u2019<\/p>\n

CANTOR: Look, right now what the people are saying, including the folks in the Tea Party, is get your business straight, Washington, start listening to us and start demonstrating the kind of fiscal discipline —<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: I\u2019m not hearing an answer. I\u2019ll wait, but I\u2019m not hearing one.<\/p>\n

CANTOR: I\u2019m gonna give you an answer — and start demonstrating the fiscal discipline that we expect of our federal government and most especially the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Are you going to raise the debt ceiling or are you gonna let the country crash?<\/p>\n

CANTOR: We\u2019re gonna have at least three or four months here to demonstrate that we\u2019re about fiscal discipline, cutting spending, going about the things that Americans want, which is to bring government back into —<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: And then you\u2019re gonna raise the debt ceiling or let the country crash?<\/p>\n

CANTOR: No, listen, we\u2019ve got three or four months until that gets here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, you see what\u2019s happening here, it\u2019s Lawrence O\u2019Donnell. (imitating O\u2019Donnell) ‘You guys, you\u2019re talking about fiscal restraint, but wait, you\u2019re gonna have to raise the debt ceiling or the government\u2019s gonna get shut down. So you guys can\u2019t be serious. You\u2019re not gonna cut spending because you\u2019re gonna raise the debt ceiling to raise spending.\u2019 That\u2019s the trap here that\u2019s being set. Now, the answer to this is not to accept the premise that Lawrence O\u2019Donnell puts forward. I don\u2019t have time to tell you what it is answer is, because I\u2019m outta time. This is why I don\u2019t go on these stupid shows. If I could do one thing, if I could get all these guys in a room and do a little seminar on how to go on these shows, if you\u2019re gonna insist on going on these stupid shows, if you are going to insist on going on MSNBC which does not have an audience, if you\u2019re gonna insist on doing it, then here is how. <\/p>\n

They hate your guts. They\u2019re looking to embarrass you. They\u2019re looking for you to fail. If you accept any of the premises in their questions, you\u2019ve lost. You go on there and you ignore their question and say what you want to say and if they interrupt and say, ‘You\u2019re not answering the question,\u2019 you say, ‘That\u2019s right, because it\u2019s a stupid question.\u2019 But that\u2019s just me. ‘Why don\u2019t you go on TV, Rush?\u2019 Because I don\u2019t like television, I just don\u2019t. I don\u2019t like the makeup. I don\u2019t like retakes. I don\u2019t like sitting around waiting to do it over and over again. I don\u2019t like meetings. But that\u2019s just me. I\u2019m not into face time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
