michelle, as you've watched this, michelle garland clinical psychologist joining us, you watched this and their demeanor, do you think they know more than they've let on? >> well, i think, again, they had very gut reactions when this first happened. >> yeah. >> and i think, you know, those are extremely important to remember. and i have to say that, you know, with the last caller, i mean, i can understand that, this theory, we say we wouldn't. or turn in our own children. >> right. >> but, again, i think this family was in constant denial and in conflict, which truthfully is what led to her personality, her issues, and subsequently to what has now happened. >> right. >> and -- and i think we need to remember that we need -- we need to do the right thing, whatever happens within our family. >> yeah, exactly. you know, look at these cute -- new pictures of little caylee. look at the cute little dress, just a beautiful little girl as the song says "gone too soon" michelle you picked up on the point, in the midst of the butte of the pictures dealing with casey's personality. we'll listen

i can't wait to get into this barack and michelle book. know, though, if this goes to show that first of all they are regular, normal people and also all of, like i said earlier, the wonderful things that can happen to two individuals when they support one another, i love it. i can't wait until the weekend. oh, by the way. kim from "housewives of atlanta" just tweeted in during the commercials. she said about "tardy for the party" she's getting her legal issues in order. did she say anything about the rain? >> no. >> wendy: tweet back. how you doin'? all right. hi, how are you? >> i'm doing good. how you doin'? >> wendy: how you doin'? >> you're working that dress. >> wendy: thank you. >> wendy: second of all, on barack and michelle, you know, michelle used to be barack's boss when they first started in the law firm. >> wendy: yes. >> so, i mean, just imagine what kind of game you got to have to come, you know, to get your boss, you know. >> wendy: yeah. i love it. >> yeah. >> wendy: i bet you their sex is good. i mean, first family. every

how are you, michelle? i read your blog all the time, and i think it's great. especially ed morris, he's a great writer. >> guest: thank you. >> caller: i'd like to know, what happened to the car czar, mr. abner? he seems to have left abruptly, and i don't know why. they got somebody else to replace him, did they find something wrong there? i do believe your book's going to be an ongoing project because of all these changes in the administration with all these crooks leaving it. >> host: thanks for the cal these photographs that we're looking at all from the book that michelle malkin has just completed. what about stephen ratner? >> guest: yeah, he did just leave over the last week, and i think that's proof of my thesis that if there's enough sunligh you can have accountability. he was under a cloud from the minute that barack obama appointed him the car czar because his former company, quadrangle, has been involved in a long-standing now sec investigation of financial shenanigans. there's also a very strange incident involving the production of a movie called

does michelle insist on any share of power? >> no.cause michelle is as instrumental in his success as a political figure as hillary was in the success of bill, maybe more so. but he's very careful to play -- to not look like she's power grabbing at all. she's steering this midway course between laura bush, who had the more tradition role of first lady, and hillary. when she talks about health care now, she's talking about how these problems affected her family. she had one child, sasha, who at the age of 3 months was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with meningitis and for 72 hours, she was in that hospital room with sasha and barack. and it really changed their lives. and of course, her father had ms and she grew up with this problem. and he died, unfortunately, at the age of 55. so she knows all about the health problems that people face in this country. >> can barack still impress his wife? >> oh, yeah. as a matter of fact, you know, valerie jarrett, they're great friends, says there's an element of fear on barack's part, which

>> host: dais joining us for michelle malkin, good morning. >>alr: good morning. this ishat makes politics-- i don't even know why c-span has this young lady there. i am wondering where ms. malkin -- naudible] [inaudible] >> guest: you can just google my name. you can look at my blood in you will see that i was one of the loudest voices criticizing cronyism and nepotism in the bush administratn. you can find many left-wing blogs saying even michelle malkin is criticing michael braun t fema, a lot of dhs nepotism, which i investited and covered and uncovered myself, and also you can take a look at my files tsee, even most recently all of the work i have then criticizing the porkocrats in alaska,on young and ted stevens. think that, i think that my critics suffer from a moral equivalency wh they can't take a look at the book that i have written and tir immediate response is, where were you, without informing themselves abt where exactly i was. bush is not in office anymore. bara obama is and that is why i wrote the book. >> host: let me ask you specifically about a

he's talked about the fact every day he makes what he calls michelle time to be with the first lady. they've got mary ann robinson, grandmother helping with the kids. things are easier and nicer for them. they're flourishing, their personal relationship as well as his presidency. >> where did the idea michelle would be a jackie-like. i mean, you have to be careful about these things. we're both men. let's not get into a gender thing. there's something spectacular as the way she's presented herself as first lady. laura bush wasn't, mindy eisenhower wasn't. >> i spent a little bit of time -- i know what you're saying. i spent time with jacqui. she was a very impressive woman. she was, you know, i think michelle is just as stylish but not, frankly, as cold and aloof and removed. jacqui always looked like a deer caught in the headlights. not so here. this is a woman people can identify with. she talks about the carpools during the campaign and the parent teacher conference they still go to portray them in the most quintessentially american first family we've had which is really saying so

. >>> michelle obama will be taking a message to a specific audience. >> good morning. we will seek first lady michelle obama toward her main audience, women and families, in this debate over health care reform. unlike president obama's speech yesterday at the uversity of maryland, michelle obama will speak to a small art forum heading over to the eisenhower executive office building this morning to talk about how health care will affect families, amplifying the president's message. we will see her likely be a visible part of this debate on health care reform in the next coming months as she joins president obama trying to use her good will to target women and families. we will take a closer look at how the white house would use her and the latest over health care reform coming up at 6:30. >> thank you. >>> australia will become one of the first nations to vaccinate against the swine flu. they have approved and a trillion-made faxing. it paves the way for a vaccination program later this month. the swine flu has already killed more than 35 funder people worldwide. >>> t

michele bachmann.oday at the values voter summit in washington, you put her in a room with several thousand other right wingers and she's bound to say something cooky, right? she seems to think fewer regulations on insurance companies would mean more competition. >> if we would remove this federal law that creates these private monopolies then states would be competing with each other. some states may decide to have zero mandates, so you can sell whatever insurance policy you want. >> really? zero regulations on the insurance industry? now, if that happened, companies would have free reign to deny coverage for any pre-existing condition. no matter how ridiculous. they could cancel policies at any time for any reason. bottom line, insurance executives would continue to take home obscene paychecks. michele bachmann's playing right into the hands of the insurance industry. we've had michele bachmann in "psycho talk" quite a bit lately. i'm not the only one who sees great entertainment potential from the m

thank you for joining us today. >> hi. >> michelle, what did this jobs report tell you about the economy? >> it didn't really advance the ball much. it really came in very much as expected, but i see good news in the sense that the pace of job losses are waning. private jobs were down 198,000. that's the smallest drop in private sector employment that we've seen since before the lehman bankruptcy last fall. we're making progress. there are early hints here that we are getting some stabilization even in the labor market. >> ken, what about you? i know you were looking for a smaller jobs loss number. >> yeah. we were looking for something under 200, but this 216 was a good number. you know, it definitely was better than what the market was expecting, and they did revise last month's number worse than previously expected, so when you look at the change actually from month to month it's actually a fairly large change. about 60,000 fewer job losses. it's a very good sign, i think, for the economy in terms of the trend that we're moving in. >> michelle, we get the minutes from the most recent

michel michelle, take us back, give us the specifics of what happened that day. >> yeah, i was calledto the school to come pick up my son that was having a disruptive day in the classroom. and didn't want to do any work, didn't want to listen or follow any of the rules that the teacher had that day. suspended him for two days out of school. when i arrived upon the school to find myself locked in this room, in his underwear. >> michelle, i couldn't imagine it being a father myself to find one of my sons in that state. i'm sure what was his condition when you saw him? i'm sure he was just upset, beside himself. >> yeah, he was upset, mad, my son suffers otd -- so he stays angry, which we're working with him to correct this and i thought the school was there to help. >> okay. well, let's so everybody has an understanding your son you mentioned it, adhd, right? >> yes. >> and odd, which is, what oppositional defiance disorder, a problem wr authority or authority figures? >> a problem with authority just being told to do. >> so he's a handful in class. >> oh, why. >> and can be, right. >>

, finally michelle.. what is the reaction that you sense from your colleagues and your readersÑi and your organizations with japan and the change in the governments in japan? >> with the relation to energy or in general? >> in general and in energy. >> it is historic because there was a changing party from 55 years of near dominant role by the lbp . aÑr that has not figured out how they are going to be yet. they do not know whether they will use the traditional mechanisms that they're opposing party used to deal with the business elite and the bureaucracies. that is one basic structure that they need to figureÑi out. there are all sorts of decisions they need to make in the short term that the u.s. is definitely keeping an eye on, but i think one of the things in relation to energy as we are discussing this, one of the things that has comeback in greece -- that has come about in recent days -- everything might be a surprise -- the prime minister is deepening the cuts he wants to make for climate change.
