i'm elizabeth prann in washington. now, back to cashin' in. trish: hillary clinton catching some flak about her new book blaming the election loss on a whole lot of things and a lot of people. she launched the book across america, and some v.i.p. prices running as high as, can you believe $3,000 for two people. juan, i'll start with you. do you really think that people are going to cough up three grand to go see a candidate that's going to tell all the reasons why she lost this election yet again? >> trish regan, miss capitalism, of course. if people want to pay, people will pay. in all honesty, i right book, i love to have book events, i've never been able to charge people, but i'll be totally honest. trish: i don't know if she can either though. >> there was a line outside the bookstore here in new york at 5 a.m. for a 12 noon event and the line stretched more than 250 people at 5:00 a.m. so there's a market. trish: i'm talking about the stadiums, right, here with the $3,000 tickets for two. and it does include a photo op with her, but, rach
