" Thank you so much Carolina. Well there -- new campaign tell all comes out Tuesday -- former running mate Senator John McCain says he's got a copy."
" I received a signed copy of the book -- are not looking forward to -- reading it and then."
" She certainly -- which to me like she's gonna sell a lot of books."
" Senator McCain goes on cities how to Palin and his campaign and he's ready to move on. But most of Palin's attacks are directed at the campaign staff not the senator. So could finger point cost Palin her political future. Well Carly Fiorina is the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and senior adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign and she's also officially announced her candidacy. For US senate in California we have a lot to talk about Carly thank you it's great communication. When you ask you first of all what you make of the book I don't know if -- had a chance to reading the excerpts yet but when you think."
" Well I haven't had a chance to read the excerpts and it was a real privilege to campaign. For John McCain he is the hero of mine and a personal friend. And for sure Sarah Palin as a person who creates a lot of excitement a lot of interest by a group of senator she's gonna sell lot of books I will watch to see if that."
" this week I'm some of the topics when he gets you about. Let's talk about health care. You are breast cancer survivor I now you have into the system firsthand quite a bit of the last that year -- months tell us what you make of the current debate. Well. Health care is obviously something very personal for me because I -- the breast cancer survivor that's why have this extremely short hair -- but you know."
" They're couple friends that I think -- critically important one is to leave care in the hands of patients and their doctors. That must be where the decisions are made and the health care bill I think. Tries to do way too much and puts forward a number of options that actually won't solve the problems we ought to build on success so what -- I mean by that for example in California. We passed medical malpractice and and reform it's worked if we debate nationwide we would save 54 billion dollars a year. We want ought to give Americans access to more low cost clinics. We ought to use -- power of choice in the discipline of competition to help reform the insurance industry. Rather than having the government run public option which won't work. And which will be a huge -- unaffordable entitlement program there are ways to reform health care and I support the reform of health care. But the bill winding its way through congress right now is not gonna solve the problem. And what do you make of it as a part of the bigger need to address economic issues and to get things going again here in the last. We you know in my campaign for the US senate job creation and economic vitality. Will be my top priority and I think that should be the top priority of absolutely everybody in Washington and in state capitals around the country including Sacramento. And unfortunately I think this administration has taken on many many things. But they haven't really addressed the key underlying issue which is we are not creating enough jobs in this country -- still losing too many jobs. And many of the programs that they are pushing are going to kill even more jobs."
" Aren't over the next year you'll -- a big battle in your hands trying to unseat the democratic senator out of California Barbara Boxer. -- economy as companies said after taking a key moment everything you -- that fight really doesn't scare you as much. How do you plan to be successful in that race it's gonna be -- well it is."
" Going to be a tough one and it is a fight worth doing. I'm gonna take it on first by talking to the people of California about the issues they care most about and Californians whether they're Democrats independents -- Republicans. The number one issue on their mind is jobs and the second most important issue on their minds is out of control federal government spending. I planned to. Hold Barbara Boxer accountable for her record she has not voted in the interest of the people of California nor has she accomplished anything. On behalf of the people of California. And finally I think it's time we have in Washington someone who actually understands job creation. And isn't afraid to take on out of control government spending."
" Carly Fiorina thank you so much and he would welcome senator boxer any time to come on and responded to be -- part of this debate. And will be watching you over the next year -- Graham thanks again. Well it's a small piece of."
