JEDEDIAH BILA (CO-HOST): Former first lady Michelle Obama heading to New Jersey as part of her Becoming: An Intimate Conversation multi-city tour, and it isn't cheap.
PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST): Folks are reportedly shelling out $1,300 for floor seats, with the most expensive suite going for more than four grand.

MIKE HUCKABEE (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): I'm going to be very clear about this, good for Michelle Obama. She is practicing capitalism in the private sector and I say why the heck not. My speeches never get $4,200 a ticket, but for $4.20 I'll speak in a Holiday Inn breakfast room and everybody just has to share their eggs and biscuits with me. That's all they got to do. But seriously, why not? Why shouldn't she go out there? But it's a ringing endorsement for the Trump economy, because now there are a lot more people who can afford those tickets than could when her husband was president.
