for tucker carlson to say did you head -- read her statement on friday? it was one of the more incoherent. made san forpped sound like shakespeare. these people who left their jobs to go to another job. if she's saying i'm leaving to run for president of president united states, fine, say it. don't say -- sean: wait a minute. wait a minute. barack obama -- the difference between governor palin and barack obama, barack obama was paid for 18 months for doing nothing. for 18 months traveling the country so he could be a president because he had the selfish ambition you're so critical of. and similarly rambo emanuel. >> she didn't say she's going to run for office. she is quitting her job because she couldn't take the pressure. sean: she has a higher calling. >> people who think sarah palin seems dumb or insane are mad she's not governing the state of alaska. it doesn't make sense to me, the argument. if you think she's a bad governor, shouldn't she quit? >> i didn't think she was a bad governor. sean: if you're going to call her a quitter, by your definition

well, that guy right there, fox news contributor tucker carlson is joining us live from washington. good morning to you, mr. t. >> good morning, steve. keep in mind that if effort to control language is always an effort to control thought. i have a book called "reflecting diversity" published by mcmillan, and it makes it very clear that the effort to control language is an effort to change the social fabric of the country, to indoctrinate kids, not to teach them, but to make this a more just and equitable country, and it shows what words would be banned. words in textbooks that kids are not allowed to read, not bad words, not profanity, but words like "founding fathers" no longer allowed. steve: it's banned? what do they want to replace it with? >> well, the founders because you want want to suggest that the men who wrote the constitution, for instance, were men. that would be scary. steve: and we discover that in chairman or chairwoman. they want to ban that. >> that's right. you are a chair. you are a piece of furniture. if you are a man that represents a district, you are not a c

joining us live is a fox news contributor, tucker carlson. how about those numbers?> unbelievable, but particularly also the mitt romney numbers. obama is not clinton. he has a mandate. by definition, the majority of voters voted for him, and to see this slippage this quickly is very telling, and i am convinced that is what this is. this is not a reflection in a surge of popularity for mitt romney, though i think he has done a good job consolidating his base among conservatives, and sarah palin, as well, but i think this is a slip in the president's approval. greta: everyone thinks of mitt romney as a rich guy, knows how to do business, and knows how to organize, and i doç not think people have seen enough with the stimulus package. it is do-or-die with him and the economy. tucker: it is pretty amazing that 20 minutes ago, he isç the messiah, and people who were not democrats in most elections voted for the guy. i mean, he got support from moderates and republicans, and, really, that has dissipated. i have not seen a breakdown of every element in this poll, and i w

tucker carlson is with us in washington from the cato institute. kirsten powers is here in new york with me of the "new york post." when the question comes up, i thought we burgoyne to insure the uninsured, where is the public option, what is the president going to say? >> probably something like we are still working on the details. they have said that they are willing to go ahead without a public auction. i think obama always suspected that this was the case. i remember him being lukewarm about it, then he got pressure from the left and said that he would try to have said. i think he may try to come up with something watered down and passed it off as something big. martha: perhaps a signing ceremony, we passed insurance reform. at least it sounds like we are going in the right direction. of course, one of the question is how this will be paid for. we heard john kerry say that they are $2 billion short of that $1 trillion market in getting all of this paid for. tucker, do you find this heartening? >> i cannot believe they got even that close. marth

greta: joining us this fox news contributor tucker carlson. well, tucker, what about this time? >> that did not work as well for him. this was pretty restrained. there is clearly, obviously, a double standard when it comes to sarah palin. they do not like kirk and the fact that she is against abortion and that she is evangelical -- they do not like her. all of that hurts her and draws negative coverage. i have to say that i think she has to change the story line fairly quickly on this. bowling not by sayingbowing out -- bowing out by saying tahhat - i think fairly shortly, she is going to want to change it. greta: it is not that good for you if you have that bull's-eye on you that you quit. >> you can spin it. you can say, "i give up." >> you were so mean to me, i am out of your -- you can say, "i give-ups." you were so mean to me, i am out of here -- i give up. greta: how does she do that? she went fishing. we sit in our nice, warm studios, and she goes fishing. >> good for her. greta: good for her. she needs to get down to the lower 48 and really start working below or 48. --
