I had to Michelle Malkin I don't I don't even know where to begin when you're talking of the culture of corruption you know it's another one like you know who's the most -- from congressman everywhere where -- where do you begin. With the think the corruption and they get the cronyism in this. It in this gang. Irreparable -- in the in the Obama administration. This just the Andy McCarthy. It's always rich one reliable Democratic Party organs like the Washington Post which couldn't bashed the Bush Administration often enough defend Obama administration initiatives on the grounds that. Bush did it through. But that is the current defense of the administration's otherwise indefensible deployment of Sharia touting. Faisal -- on State Department business in the Middle East this this is the guy who who want it to we have the who wants to have the mosque at ground zero and then there's this again it's true they every -- they almost talk about a wolf. You're George Bush was the worst president we ever had but. Bush pushed -- Bush did it so it's okay so how bad can it be if bush did it. 1877469432218774694322. Speaking of the Washington Post. The yeah you know way in. The the post is losing a ton of money it's or was losing a ton of money now they've made -- make your cuts that the they've closed a bunch of bureaus and there they say they're close to breaking even but. I kinda doubt it. But that the -- the Washington Post Co. hasn't of the same problems that say the Boston that that the New York Times has said you know -- the Boston Globe losing tens of millions of dollars a year. And the reason Washington Post hasn't had any trouble is because it has some this -- bought this company called Kaplan. And they can. Kaplan is the it is is the this company that prepares people to take -- Like the SATs -- the LS CAT. Usually SS -- Then down. The they it's it's the only part of a company that's making any Dell they're they're trying that they just sold Newsweek for Boller that was -- 2030 million a year the post was losing a million dollars a week. And now the -- held the post no Kaplan has been accused of fraudulent. Practices too high powered law firms are considering lawsuits on behalf of the shareholders of the post against the company's directors. Including Warren Buffett and bill gates' wife Melinda -- I'll read I'll tell you more about it a little while but. Again -- another distinguished. Organ of the mainstream media is caught up in a in a ski -- and MB. And it's steep pearl stream one of their business columnist has admitted that the only thing keeping the Washington Post going now is this company Kaplan this testing company alright. Joining us now on the line is Michelle Malkin and she you you know or from a Fox News and and and former rob or web site. And you also -- bestselling author she's the her new book has just come out paperback. Culture of corruption and was at best seller on the New York Times. And it was updated and other three new chapters and it and you can order to write off of our web site that was just just released in my in paperback. Michelle always a pleasure to have you here on our car show.

And how it's great to be with you again thank.

I just saying you know I was trying to think is I was driving to work today what -- what should we start talking about the in terms of corruption. I just kinda I just said there's something new every day I don't even know where to begin you know and well what would you. And you know the thing that speaking of Obama and his team a tax cheats crooks and and that cronies. You know. I note are no Charles Rangel is a tax cheat and all that but you know he's a congressman I kind of expect that. What really bugs me I'll just throw this out just to get the conversation rolling here. Is Tim Geithner. I mean the guy is the head of the Internal Revenue Service which audits me every year and this guy he. This guy should be in in jail for what he did he I mean he didn't. He didn't just you don't forget to include you know what. A day of overtime but he took her speech that he -- I mean this is a guy who was a systematic. Tax invader or a number of years.

Yes no question about it in them thanks test. Charles Grassley of some of -- alert senate Republicans we got to see and begin to all the dirty DTL there. How he. Would be able to collect attacked the Larry Flynt and from the International Monetary Fund which is where -- Worked at the time that he would be evading me access. Unclaimed attacks around collected it despite not having -- file their taxes at all and that of course there was the immigration angle because there was. Questionable citizenship status from the household worker that he would employing. And then of course all of that compounded by the fact that he they were putting into place at and at the head of the treasury. Picture secretary someone -- let all this advanced. Bad PR baggage and on top of that if you had. Did that at -- to the New York Federal Reserve at the time there all of the financial meltdown we're going on. Not only did he not be what was coming. Competent backlit -- privy to a lot of -- architecture around the bailout. Under the and that the Bush Administration. Of course some have cost taxpayers. Ultimately billions of dollars in -- siphoned off then involved a lot of backroom dealing with many of these. Financial quote unquote capped the Obama administration demagogue the -- the other side of --

I like it what he gets his hackles up when someone questions him about the taxes to you know what he says he's devoted his life to public service now to meet that that means like you know. Charging up pork chop hill what you know bay and edit your mouth that your machine and especially at the administration been furthering his own nest that he wants a free ride.

Yeah that's right into court when the Democrats believe that focused public -- net Maxine Waters it is today. At her little love. -- pressure on bush did that yeah that's right bush dead and I did it for public service of course we don't -- says that there aren't. Because they are serving themselves at our expense.

What is -- okay let's just say it's again this this is such a target rich environment what is that what's the biggest Obama administration scandal of the last two weeks.

Well it you know I'm. They're gonna add a new chapter that I wrote on the war on on the -- well -- the White House's attempt. Cute Welch. Criticism and dissent. From the people who have a lot of inconvenient truth to tell about this administration. Squandering of our tax dollars. And they particularly gone after people an official position as independent watchdog -- the bad -- inspectors general who are supposed to. Have a special level of immunity to do it they do given just how vulnerable they are. To political might bank. And done so I had not all happen and of course and there's so many developments after the book -- compressed. A gay Christian -- the Justice Department whistle blower. -- well let us know all the dirty speaking out about the air only heard just. -- social Justice Department -- in Justice Department. And that continues to this day that the TARP inspector general. I had been especially helpful to taxpayers letting us know all the politics that went on behind the scenes but the auto bailout even threatened by administration. Officials. Many good watchdog -- on the house oversight and reform committee paralyzed so for example. But it in in some ways you know although I argued that that's the ballot boxes the ultimate and it's either that November going to be an anti corruption referendum. It really is going to come down to 2012 and making sure that we. More rushed. All of these squelch this centered out of the bowels of the bureaucracy.

Right RBI if you get a Republican majority in -- you can stop probably the worst stuff that he's planning but you can't begin. You -- you we have the reversal all the things that have been done in the last two years and that's that's your right whip to get rid of the the guy in the White House that's.

Yes and -- breaking news today of course the New York gut. A court at this second circuit. Has basically overturned. A lower court decision saying that says the acorn. Funding ban was unconstitutional. On so that's gotten thrown right back in their state that you remember. The I have a chapter in culture of corruption on on acorn in all of the various scandals and that they had claimed that somehow this was. Some sort of he legal punishment for congress to target them more the second circuit said that no no --

That's it that's good is it that. You know how you what you you seem to have at your fingertips. It may an amazing amount of -- documentation are you you work in the Internet -- you work in the phones -- how do you do I mean you're you're I know you're a former newspaper reporter. But you know all a lot of bubble logs -- they wrote they really are guys in their pajamas you know just sit around reacting to other people's reporting you don't reporting I mean that's that's what make sure you you'll be your blog so law. So invaluable like --

Think you want the combination of things and that I'd I'd have preexisting relationships with forces and the government then. I worked for two major newspapers on the West Coast the men. The NFL I have a bunch of pet issues core issues that I am always keeping track and on top of and I'm sure you you get of the tips from your readers think your listeners and I keep on a bunch aren't on top of all of those as well. And new media -- been invaluable in this synergy between talk radio and the Blogosphere. I'm all of us citizen journalists out there who do a lot of local coverage and then computer -- just lucked out at me their memory many members of -- corrupt the cracks in the Obama administration that I followed when I worked in Los angeles' Seattle it just so happens that the commerce secretary of the former. Governor of Washington State who my had been on. A -- time for campaign finance shenanigans -- in many other. Administration of.

But I don't and I'll tell you I'm confused with the labor secretary and other tax cheat -- yet -- only your husband was a tax cheat.

Expected to rise dime -- of course you're talking about how the police labor secretary who add ons in addition to those. -- I hadn't been involved -- not failure to disclose. Itself -- it because at the same time that -- was sponsoring one of these card check bill. -- would also serving at the tricks you're urged a group that would lobbying for have to get her own after the bell.

It's just it's just amazing that double standard the beast that the these a state wrap and a candidate for state rep you've seen the stories you know wishing basically wishing that Sarah Palin was dead. -- today and that you're the only response that they have on the on them on the message board to the papers is. Well but the teapot I'll bet the tea Bagger essentially say that they're sleepy part I'll but the tea Bagger would say the same thing about Barack Obama what does that we have Democrats on the record how. Export as saying this about Sarah Palin and you're early responses about the Tea Party people are as bad as that I mean that's they have no defense.

They really don't -- and I mean how many times have we seen that where they get caught. And then you issue these non apology apology that saw that one of the state -- Timothy Horrigan said. He apologized to anyone who's already he needed to apologized but he certainly didn't apologized for the sentiment. -- How did they could be boiling mad and of course the third book I read it will grow with unhinged and that could have been up encyclopedia. In itself -- liberals gone wild. They do it on the radio they do it on MSNBC of course which nobody watches -- on. I know but still. And that they spout off they they have all these definitely against a prominent bra and Republicans they're racist they expect that there are many that they've they predict all of their pathologies are not just.

Right and how about Al Franken the other day role in his eyeballs in all that's when Mitch McConnell was media and the you know I was at a congressional hearing -- Michelle. And I and that was of corrupt guy from Massachusetts speaking and I did the same thing until -- what does he do that how we -- do. I just -- I was just sitting in the gallery you know. -- right. --

I know and I mean we could fuel -- whole documentary at YouTube clip over the last few years that. Of these congressman that in one case -- the South Carolina congressman who literally physically walked hold. I young college student who would dare to ask him all right and Democrat. -- and -- and then of course all of that the town hall of -- Dark in the basket case. All.

Hello grant how -- Virginia you know I did jump ugly with this little black kids right. Erica Eric Massa from New York you you know what -- of us sexually harassing his male staffers. It would you know you don't you know the names and I know the names as we we're we're we're in the Internet and new media and talk radio. But the you know the vast majority of people. Don't don't ever hear these names they always is the worst guy that ever came out of congress.

Yeah and and you're not seeing it on Katie Couric's broadcast you're on another front pages of the New York Times but he's the commander of how appear because I think. You know. And especially with the advent of cleaner and they have. That there are alternate ways of getting the message out there I think -- I think more than any time at least that I've been. Covering politics and and that the public light and it had done political debating at all that's. They're they're they're they're not ever be able to get away with it as they used to be and there is always the channel for counter narrative now.

Yeah there there is 1877469432218774694322. If you wanna talk to while Michelle Malkin. Ferrara book the cultural. Culture of corruption has just come out in paperback and it's available everywhere you can order right off of our website if you like to culture of corruption Obama and his team a tax cheats crooks and cronies. 18774694322. -- but the fact that that this guy is going down to what going down to the Gulf Coast. Four run for for a 27 hours 27 -- embed. That he's coming up to beautiful people land here and you don't care to Massachusetts. Martha's Vineyard where he's gonna spend his real vacation. Every day this just this kind of insulting to go to war flyover country as a -- a muted talk about a it's a -- a -- even a serious --

Yes that's right and and of course I don't think he'd spent more than an hour actually in the Louisiana god forbid he enemy he and his imperial life spend any time there. -- and and it really does tell you something about the is that say not as we vacation. Food mentality. Of the Obama has been. Hey. I don't I was distracted particularly in the aftermath of the whole Spain debacle with the First Lady. And how little push back there was on the White House and that somehow she's the pride that said that and you're gonna try that trip and she should be bailed out. The immunity of and pride that individual.

It's astounding I wanted to get you know I got if you wanted to get new homes on the on the trip I mean other than those at the boil it and -- like you say the boilerplate that they're swallowing whole. You had to go to the British papers. It's it's fall. -- a better job of covering American politics that the -- media.

No question about it how -- There -- theory interest in Chicago Angola and of course the culture stretch and I always look that the Chicago angle is following the money is following the dot and it turns out that the poor friend who she was trying to console because her father had just died -- in fact. An old windy city -- any -- Blanchard she's the University of Chicago medical center doctor and it you'll remember and I wrote about it in culture of corruption. That the Michelle Obama was able to get a cushy job there as a result of her husband.

3161000. Dollar -- here right. Anyway whenever it was never were it was never filled after she left it was such and it was so.

The -- in the spirit -- yeah that's right and the Anita Blanchard married him Marty Nesbitt who -- the national campaign finance -- For the Obama presidential campaign a big crony of Richard -- unit and the entire Chicago machine. And what -- between then and it spins all of these but soft core. Reporters and got a columnist what's really haven't spent enough time to get together get what. They've spent plenty of time with the Obama they vacationed with an -- why you left -- they traveled with them are well aware. He collected his -- so much deserved Nobel Prize. I end and they and now of course they they they were able to get away with this junket by plane -- read this agreed the green card. It may think it it is really amazing they -- as brilliant as everyone says they are because they're getting away.

Yeah it's but it's -- their brilliance is just I mean I just imagine or imagine -- Republican trying to pull this stuff well imagine Laura Bush pulling trying to pull this off I mean -- she would have been. Draw and quarter. Check out what.

One -- politics of calls we wanna talk to you Michelle Malkin. The author you've seen her on that TB a million times say in value you've read her blog and -- also -- read -- books the new the new paperback version of culture of corruption with three new chapters just come out. Bob your next with how we card Michelle Malkin go ahead Bob.

Paper itself big failure. But by the way -- you notice -- when Democrats have these scandals without mistakes were made. With that attitude or Republican it's a constitutional crisis that literally every every state actually wanted to throw very low well I didn't know when these well you know I don't speak Spanish and other social. It's ridiculous. The hypocrisy meter is off the -- to these people can edit it at the.

What it when that would Maxine Waters doesn't pass the smell test with Barney Frank you know that should have been -- into her. She had a serious problem.

How you heard that back and wanted to tell you right -- type disable -- from Dewey Cheatham and how we're good now so yeah. Yeah.

Thanks for the call Bob Bob your next with how we Kerr and Michelle Malkin go ahead Tom.

I don't -- Good day I shall appreciate your hard work encourage out there. On one question do you would you consider. The first gathering of Eagles on March 17 2007. In front of the Lincoln Memorial would you consider that's. The first Tea Party.

Yes I absolutely have that would have. One that that would -- first major grassroots gathering. That would essentially organized says the crew. Back channel and ethernet didn't totally off the radar screen the main stream media. And it wouldn't an amazing at gathering to beef up many people from across the country people out real jump up and family to take care of not beat EM up. Professional agitators funded by George Soros down there. -- nano commando and and the mouse can milk. Which these code pink educators let me answer people and I think it -- sort of connect. In the EM out in that in the timeline of the grassroots revolt that are the key part they should definitely be seen as one of the inaugural milestones.

By the by the ways begin of you know the sorrows people call code -- to all those did you CEO Cindy she man today what she said Michelle.

He's still around.

She's still she's come out of wherever she was hiding in you know love -- Robert Gibbs the Press Secretary said these. These professional left there should be drug tested right she said -- ought she says I'm challenging Bob Gibbs to a.

sixty. Jobs who are pretty CNN bodily -- I don't wanna think he could but but but but but but this yeah.

Michael your next with how we guard Michelle Malkin go ahead mission -- go have Michael.

You know it makes us look great pleasure to talk feel like if you're very very lovable of great writer -- look. Forward to playing in New York Post because I -- that we -- call lore was well breed is. -- Was going your country in this political atmosphere I just don't unfortunately and maybe. Do you think Castro Palin is qualified to be -- president of the United States. Can.

Well I certainly preferred her to Barack Obama. And you know unfortunately -- but that's really not saying much about the part that -- Comparing to Barack Obama I now. I love Sarah Palin I've met her. Communicated with her I think that she has really resonated. Outside of the beltway with grassroots conservatives have been. This chronicle. With the beltway establishment. Whether she should pursue higher office again I don't know I think that she's doing. The movement a very get -- where she is now and she's really harnessed the power of the Internet herself -- based book and and appearing on Fox News now and I think she should keep doing what she's doing.

It should make a lot of money which she which she never had an and who could blame her for want to make a lot of -- while she can't.

you know if somebody who's worked in the media for eighteen years now. I feel blessed every day that I can get up and do what I do and spread a message and and share information and be an information provider. And I think you know the more folks we have on our side who are fighting this. Tend our First Amendment ability to do is build a better.

Yeah it's it's amazing the difference the Internet has made you know I mean that you you know when you find that when you find out subcommittee you know bit. But the whole world -- the world of -- of people like us knows it knows it immediately you know it's a you don't have to go through the lease -- filters these. These incredibly biased one sided filters like CBS news of the New York Times.

Yes no question about it I in my home office I have a little shadow box and it's the compilation of all the rejection letter I got from. Mainstream gatekeeper in the Stonewall heard from the people who decided what was nude -- not -- and what was the worst people knowing and not. And things changed and 2004 I started my first plug -- And done and I didn't have to wait for the gatekeeper anymore and I think. The YouTube to get their message out I mean the acorn be funding things wouldn't have happened if not for that.

Right right and a and they unit you know wanted in the -- to be said -- took out George Allen in Virginia you know the other my cock up I think but there's something to be said for shipper both sides shadowing each other you know took to catch people -- in the old days. People -- were able to deny that they -- see it did they just say you made it up your partisan operative I get to witnesses here that said I never said it now you actually see you actually see this that the out of the -- from South Carolina worries from attacking the kid and I hope and.

A lot I think I welcome more of that of course you've got -- epics maybe -- dinosaur media now fretting about all these gotcha tactics. Using hampered decades old Leo undercover investigations and making things -- that it.

Right which sixty minutes that it it was a it was a of the -- and the First Amendment it was a wonderful thing but yeah you know when though those guys from -- went after acorn that was terrible stuff Michelle it's always great to have you -- you know I hope you -- can come back soon and you're you're always welcome on the show when valued you know I guess that you're doing a great job.
