you tell michelle. and that's analogous to go tell it on the mountain, the whole negro spiritual from the early 1800s and then really kept alive by john work and the fisk jubilee singers and that title originally had the comma in it. go tell it on the mountain. so this entire book from cover to cover is esconsed in african-american history >> i've been asked about the cover. so often and the few books that had been written about michelle and the articles that are done by her, you have the glamour poses, the glamour shots, the front-on pictures of michelle and we don't have this on this cover. what we have is michelle who's engaged in conversation with an older woman. and, you know, it symbolizes what we have felt about michelle and what we know about this particular experience because we didn't know who this person was. these photographs are actually from the associated press. again, our publisher suggested them and we looked at them and we felt very comfortable with the photograph and what it symbolize

"go, tell michelle" to read as barbara mentioned earlier it started as dear michelle, letters of encouragement. the publisher said how about this title, "go, tell michelle." we don't want anybody bossing us around so it was kind of hard to take. we thought we would sleep on it, and as our news, those of us that write poetry sometimes visit you in the early morning hours. so i had that experience and the news said it's not just "go, tell michelle," it's going to live on the mountain. and so going and doing a little bit of the research and finding they call the publisher back and say we will go with that title but it has to be comma after the word go and what it signified is number one, we were identifying someone to engage in an action and identifying a person to be the recipient of the action. you go and tell who? tell michelle and that is analogous to go tell it on the mountain, the old negro spiritual from the early 1800's and then kept alive by john and the jubilee singers and the title originally had the comma, gough, talbott on the mountain. as of this entire book from cover to cover is o

michelle malkin? >> guest: i don't define the success of a party or gauge its effect on americans live by what it has given us legislatively. that is a core fundamental belief of mine. a party that has improved my life is a party that leaves me alone, that has constrained the power of government to interfere in our lives. unfortunately, i've been very vocal about this, the republican party has failed to live up to its core conservative principles in so many ways. this was the battle that so many grassroots conservatives have with the bush administration over the years whether it was the expansion of the federal and educational and no child left behind act, the prescription drug plan, pushing illegal alien amnesty, in the last several months of bush's tenure, doing what i consider socializing the economy for barack obama with these massive bailout, the mother of all bailout, with t.a.r.p. and the republican party is not going to reclaim its mantle as the party that stands for liberty and freedom in the

here's what happened, michelle. michelle, here's what happened. when my children had play dates and they were hitting on another child or doing something that was inappropriate, the fastest way to correct that behavior -- i'm not talking about 13-year-olds. i'm talking about 13-month-olds, was a quick swat on the bottom. that stopped it. i'm not saying that i beat my children senseless but what i am saying -- let me finish, please, michelle. but what i am saying is there's a time and a place. my children are now 1 is and 13 and they are fine. my point was this is not about the imminent danger. that was one example, michelle. you can't paint this entire thing with the one example i gave you, period. >> let's get another call in. regina with us in tennessee. go ahead. >> caller: yes, sir. i believe that parents need the right to use reasonable force to teach their kids right from wrong so that law enforcement won't have to do it. >> so just a controlled swat, that's what you're advocating, regina? >> caller: i'm advocating using from when they're li

welcome, michelle. >> thank you. >> great to have you here. now, you say we're all addicted to debt. we have a bad relationship with debt. tell me about that. >> well, you know, for years americans have lived the american dream on credit. whatever we wanted, we bout. we just put it on our credit card. and then when the recession hit, people realized that they couldn't afford this massive amounts of debt. it's like we're in a bad relationship. we couldn't get out of. and so now, you know, that relationship is coming forefront and people really are starting to realize how much they were addicted to credit. >> yeah. and everybody encouraged you to do it, from the credit card operators to the people who wrote your mortgage. in a lot of ways the whole society made this happen. you have a solution, though, a 21-day debt diet that you're encouraging people to go on. what does it mean? >> well, the 21-day challenge is a 21-day financial fast. essentially for 21 days, you can't buy anything that is not a necessity. so that basically means food and medi
