" Up as well but first this morning -- let's bring in to it Tucker Carlson. From -- he is the areas I'm sorry he is -- Washington DC this morning. Tucker Carlson let's hear the applause line for Tucker we're talking about date night in New York Tucker did you have a date night last night. Actually they like it. But nobody close down major arteries from they get there. Magnetometer is outside the restaurant here Fox News contributor Tucker -- they didn't come this is -- so shocking that's not what happened here in New York City don't last night as the Obama is. Hop on a jet that took marine one from the White House took a small jet to from air force the Edwards -- worse I'm not into JFK. Air force base to JFK that took this city by storm."

" Yet they were to blue hill restaurant here in New York they also went two show a Broadway Show. And there is an outrage here talker. The video RNC is not so happy about this releasing and had. Are you okay with -- is obviously we're not -- it. Take away from any man taking his wife found yet to live up to his promises particular Broadway Show what. In the midst of all these financial problems GM filing bankruptcy isn't the right time Tucker to hop on marine one at a private jet shut down roads. Lord knows what the cost the taxpayers once."

" Yeah I mean look -- much more concerned about the use of military. Government aircraft for fund raisers which is much more common I'm not I'm for marriage for the president's my parents marriage -- for taking your wife to the show. No doubt about it. I guess is up the cost. That infuriates me personally so much as it is the inconvenience. This show was delayed for 45 minutes last night. Because everybody who was attending had to go through magnetometer they closed off. The entire block around the feeder form hours before the show those of us who live in Washington -- used to this. It has seen a presidential motorcade blow through intersections at fifteen miles an hour in immunizing everybody there's something imperial about it every president doesn't by the -- such as Obama. But it's wrong in the name of security. Ordinary taxpayers are completely inconvenienced during rush hour a lot of time off -- outrage nobody ever says anything about."

" The RNC saying something about it they're fired up let's play out the show you little full screen here about what a deal gets -- says a spokeswoman for the RNC she says as President Obama Britain prepares to -- to Manhattan's theater district on Air Force One sticking a Broadway Show GM is preparing to file bankruptcy it that was all across America continue to struggle to pay their bills. Have a great Saturday evening even if you're not jetting off somewhere at taxpayer expense your response to that Tucker."

" You know I think that probably better off going after the president on his. Use of again government aircraft for fundraisers I think everybody kind of sympathizes with the desire to get out on Saturday night with your spouse and that is something fun but again. The inconvenience. Foisted upon citizens in the name of security is outrageous it really is something we should be looking at everything is justified by security. -- and I think it's wrong."

" To -- I was not Air Force One -- you know it uses -- that -- still expensive -- immigrants aren't Tucker let's talk books apparently Oprah's Book Club you know she has the Midas touch whatever she chooses skyrocket to number one it's being eclipsed. By Obama -- the book choice any big time he ever mentions a book or what he's reading. That book that shoots up for instance there's a book called neverland. He happened to mention in passing that he was reading it its sales shot up that we by 40% and that publishers had to rush. Your friends the paper back. Personal what does it taught to read this my first question did I cannot read more than a paragraph -- a -- called the leader of the free world could be reading novels is beyond me but it's interesting isn't it that so many people are interested. In all what's on his summer reading list."

" Well look that the book industry needs all the help they can get right -- in bad shape. This guy's not simply to present leader of the free world these also pop icon. People tend to take their cues from pop icons and a book by not necessarily in a book reading. Just because a sales were book spike doesn't mean people are purchasing it actually our crack in the car."

" I guess my only complaint would be. They buys a talisman basically that -- would be his taste in books no offense was not a political statement is a little cheesy."

" A minute date Baker's book on sitting c'mon now Toni Morrison a great novelist know so those of us who love fiction even contemporary fiction. A little disappointed I have a lot of recommending --"

" MRSA isn't written all us."

" I was even more than doing minor novelist that bad at -- to slog through Toni Morrison and school I still feel resentment."

" Interestingly in this political article is that you know it's all about posturing to the the president can't be seen to be reading that Vinci code or some sort of -- you write fiction give -- these books and I agree that gave Florida and that's -- like my -- myself Steve might be -- Clifford the big red dog cannot. And -- be required this place. If this is it posturing to and that's the type a billionaire who the president gives of the New York Times and says I'm reading it. And it you know of rival team of rivals or you know war and peace right now."

" Now it's always that way it's always what I've interviewed 2000 presidential candidates and they always say. But you know midway through volume two of givens decline and fall of the Roman empire I -- Zachary Taylor's three volume autobiography evidence always that. That's completely at -- They're -- us weekly in other could have Blackberry come on action -- robust probably does Reid Tucker I just got word -- than actually one -- it books that present Obama three -- called politicians partisans and parasites my adventures in cable news -- Tucker you know that's that some you know what -- Accident could have an importance that's. Put only my mom read that so I know it's not true I thought a -- Tucker stay -- we want to hear what you think about big government. Running auto companies especially GM and I don't 72 and a half percent of it starting tomorrow tropical with the started."

people who are going to benefit from either. People who don't have health insurance -- a constituency. People who are going to make a lot more money if the government further regulates the industry. They're gonna make a lot of money. And you have ever went LCD percent of Americans are gonna satisfied with the health care coverage they have but just one example. Pharma the drug companies they will benefit under this plan if it's written a certain way you can you can see why if coverage is. Health care health insurance is mandated. That means more money for the people provide the parent and includes drug companies so we've got to see that there are. Pretty obvious motives are behind look at what do you know the unions are behind the drug lobby pharmaceutical Russert to manufacture of America being -- behind it. The federal partner hospitals and seems to me like everybody's got their fingers in -- Tucker. Well absolutely and it's enormous percentage of the economy. And look here's the truth about what part of what this is going to view if health insurance companies are prohibited from denying coverage. Are required to cover things that don't currently copper. And opera candidate from charging people more -- coverage. I think if this was gonna happen. They can't turn a profit. But they have to exist because our whole system is predicated on their existence and so pretty soon you're gonna have the federal government stepping in using tax dollars to prop up. Health insurance provides city at the coolest -- you think -- the insurance companies will be supplemented by the taxpayer. I think that what I have to be if the plan. Becomes law in the way that Obama has the president has described to this point they can't deny you coverage even if you get sick. Then it can't work the system can't work health insurance companies can't make money. And companies don't make money go under -- war they are bailed out by taxpayers of the two options and we know they can't order -- that we don't have -- CN a lot of that -- upward by the way Virginia. Montana and Colorado three the State's. Montana and Colorado as the president will be today and yet again tomorrow. I'm near key senate votes in all three of those states and yes that's right there I would just curious what we see the president later today in Bozeman Montana. Almost in the last Saturday Grand Junction, Colorado what do you think the White House -- is that they want a repeat of what happened New Hampshire but -- looking for more. Now I mean I. You're going to see I think it's a way to do what a repeat of what happened and -- which would take a docile audience picked. Indirectly but still picked and and screened by the White House people want to shout nasty questions ask -- ask questions like why they're so mean -- you Mr. President. -- also part
