Rick Santelli: "Bring It On! ... If Not Now, When?"
RICK SANTELLI: You don't compromise on principles.
STEVE LIESMAN: So, Rick -- you're ready to see the United States --
Santelli: -- Bring it on! Bring it on! Bring it on! Our fearless leader [GE CEO Jeff] Immelt, was on talking about what he perceived as an impediment to creating better jobs and he talked about regulation. Is he against Dodd-Frank?
Liesman: I'm talking about paying our bills, Rick.
Santelli: You know what, we should pay our bills. We should pay our bills. But the other amount, the 42-cents of every dollar we don't have let Congress figure out they made the obligations.
Liesman: The trouble is, there is a time and a place for this conversation and debate.
Santelli: Now is the time!
Liesman: It's not when the credit card bill is due.
Santelli: This is the place. We're here. If not now, when?! If not now, when? If not now, when?!
