Topics to include following up on the Newark murders, criminal illegal aliens, the Washington state ferry/FBI lookout story, and more. The rumored brass knuckle cage match with Geraldo was just a rumor. The boss needs a little more work on her jab, anyway.
Opine away. I’ll be back with some highlights after the show.
Update: Here’s the highlights, which consist entirely of the talking points memo and the first part of the interview with Rep. Tancredo. The Tanc just doesn’t get enough love around here.

Hey Michelle if Geraldo ever happens to say illegal aliens are assimilating please ask him for evidence. When he says illegal immigrants are learning english, mention that if they are is is much to the dismay of Hispanic politicos. Then ask him what, (list several lawsuits against english only laws)all these lawsuits have in common besides Hispanic surnames? Oh yes they are against the sole use of English. What was that about assimilation?
When he says opposition to amnesty is cultural he is partially right. We all know it is why not turn that around on him? Our culture resents Hispanics politicos trying to force their culture on us, it is a normal reaction. It exactly why Mexico wouldn’t tolerate it.
Just a thought, you are the professional, I am merely a humble commenter.
Theworldisnotenough on August 24, 2007 at 7:58 PM
MM interviewing Tanc? What if he brings up the Tancelot photoshop? Tres awkward!
Allahpundit on August 24, 2007 at 8:05 PM
In another studio at Fox, Geraldork is in the midst of a world class hissy-fit.
Kowboy on August 24, 2007 at 8:07 PM
No. Actually, what is awkward is that Tanc is making a good impression on the electorate, YOUR boss is helping him do that, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
CyberCipher on August 24, 2007 at 8:09 PM
Noooooo!
Allahpundit on August 24, 2007 at 8:10 PM
If he (Geraldo) was watching, I’ll be his mustache wilted.
CyberCipher on August 24, 2007 at 8:10 PM
Nice hair. How did she manage to get it all under a helmet?
RedWinged Blackbird on August 24, 2007 at 8:13 PM
Michelle has just opened with an excellent memo concerning illegal alien crimes and disciplining that fool Paul Krugelman (or whatever his name is).
Michelle says it right that this is not a racial thing. It is a question of national security.
The Mayor of Newark, NJ wants Newark to remain a sanctuary city. At least, the Attorney General of NJ is responsible enough to order all NJ law enforcement personnel to notify ICE concerning illegal aliens. Let us hope that ICE responds.
This is going to be a good program, as usual.
Michelle…you go, girl!
BTW-My question to those who call Michelle a media whore…how is Michelle being a media whore by warning us of the dangers that confront this nation?
Too many people who criticise and hate Michelle suffer from Michelle Malkin Envy!
The False Dervish on August 24, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Oh you know he was. I’m just interested in what kind of comments he’s going to have on other shows when Michelle’s not around. He hasn’t seemed to anxious to go face to face with her since his last spanking.
Kowboy on August 24, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Seems to me that something else wilted on Geraldo as he watches Michelle report in for Bill O’Reilly.
Hmmmm…the O’Malkin Factor. Interesting and nice.
The False Dervish on August 24, 2007 at 8:18 PM
I don’t how MM can be on tonight, after Bryan kicked her a** in Wii boxing!
stonemeister on August 24, 2007 at 8:20 PM
Just catching the first segment as I was making dinner when it began (thank you DVR!)… and I have to say Michelle’s
Talking Points Memo,Gregologue, Malkin Minute was awesome. Somewhere a Geraldo quietly weeps… in between sobs, you can here “it’s not immigration issue”…Seriously though, I imagine the mustached one will be going wild over the Malkin/Tancredo love fest… I’m not saying they aren’t right, but come on, it is sort of a love fest out there on this, and the insane (you’d have to be to take his position) Geraldo will be furious… Expect him to spout more lies regarding the Zina Linnik case this weekend.
RightWinged on August 24, 2007 at 8:22 PM
I’m convinced the LA Times and other papers like them do this ON PURPOSE. Peter Pace has already denied the report. Papers like the LA Times WANT everyone to spend their time going down a rabbit trail after a false story. I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts that they KNEW the story was false. They probably made it up themselves.
CyberCipher on August 24, 2007 at 8:25 PM
I’m thinking something bigger and better - something truly inventive involving Fox News, MM and Hot Air - a big raise for AP - and YES, an iPhone!
RedWinged Blackbird on August 24, 2007 at 8:28 PM
IBISH: Don’t just silence John Doe, silence the ferry officials as well!
CyberCipher on August 24, 2007 at 8:31 PM
Ibish needs to understand that some of us want to do MORE than ruffle his feathers.
CyberCipher on August 24, 2007 at 8:33 PM
And if the FBI went to the “arab-muslims FIRST???
The arab-muslims would have screamed bloody murder and claimed ‘racial’ profiling, also asking “Why does the FBI come HERE first?”
Can’t win either way with islamopologists.
shooter on August 24, 2007 at 8:42 PM
MM is the best but some rules need to be instituted. The first time any guest starts fillibustering or rudely talking over the host, the host needs to take control and call him on it. I can’t stand this two (or sometimes three) people all talking over each other…
JWS on August 24, 2007 at 8:49 PM
I love the Tancelot pic!
Bad Candy on August 24, 2007 at 8:52 PM
Allah, if you’re lurking, I just realized something… Not that I care about the stupid iPhone, but Michelle should be able to score you one now. O’Reilly must be paying her a pretty handsome sum to do these regular Friday shows. He’s making what, $10 million+ just from Fox? Certainly Michelle will be pulling in the $10s of thousands extra from those appearances, no? I have to imagine he is happy to pay her a nice little chuck, given that he’s clearly made her the regular fill in, because the ratings when she hosts stomp the ratings when Kasich hosts.
Anyway, make with the iPhone Michelle, and the Wii while you’re at it!
RightWinged on August 24, 2007 at 8:54 PM
Ok. Another negro explaining away Vick-like behavior. Sigh. What, 1%, 2%, of the black population resembles Thomas Sowell? My God…
JWS on August 24, 2007 at 8:54 PM
Did that guest just assert the fact that Nat King Cole didn’t get as much air time as Lassie did in the fifties - as an argument on behalf of Micheal Vick?
Dork B. on August 24, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Just think AP, you don’t have to go through AT&T to activate!
kiakjones on August 24, 2007 at 8:56 PM
Allah, maybe you should challenge the boss to a game on the Wii…you win, you get the iphone. You lose and…I have no idea what you can offer. Never mind.
stonemeister on August 24, 2007 at 8:58 PM
The families of dead skate-boarders should sue the estate of Charles Darwin, donchathink?
CyberCipher on August 24, 2007 at 8:59 PM
great show as usual, she needs her own show…
trailortrash on August 24, 2007 at 8:59 PM
I love when Billy has MM on and treats her like he’s her better. If she can’t take over for him, maybe FOX could free up another slot, like, say, um, Geraldoh’s?
JWS on August 24, 2007 at 9:03 PM
.
yes, he really did go there.
.
And he suggested white America was in Katrina saving dogs but not black folk.
.
he is a ph.d. at Georgetown? ugh.
shooter on August 24, 2007 at 9:06 PM
Just a hint Allah or Bryan let us know how michelle is doing in TV ratings. Like to know if she is destroying the competition on other networks
BTW for Katrina it was the welfare state mentality that killed those people. Millions left for saftey and thousands sat around waiting to be saved. They didnt have any clue what to do unless government told them what to do.
William Amos on August 24, 2007 at 9:10 PM
I would like to know that too.
CrimsonFisted on August 24, 2007 at 9:20 PM
so, since dog fighting is a “cultural”, aka, racial, issue, i guess that means i can eat the hearts of my enemies to gain their courage and sacrifice people to the sun to it’ll rise tomorrow.
gee. claiming cultural freedom is going to be cool!

Texyank on August 24, 2007 at 10:10 PM
Geart show. Late getting on.
Not needing to be said.
Tancredo: You are right as usual Michelle.
Duh to the ‘nth degree.
On-my-soap-box on August 24, 2007 at 10:30 PM
Michelle did a fine job of destroying the air-headed, narrow visioned, convuluted thinking of all the guests. That my friends, is why we keep returning to this site. Clear thinking is rare, being able to put those clear thoughts into words, before millions of viewers/cameras & crews is a gift.
24K lady on August 24, 2007 at 10:34 PM
I think I’m falling in love with the Tanc. Even AP’s modest attempts to ridicule the man build up my appreciation for him:)
Spirit of 1776 on August 24, 2007 at 10:40 PM
“He is going to defend this policy, I hope he has to defend it in court.” I agree. Thanks MM. You are on a crusade for justice and the rule of law in America. I commend you. You need your own show on Fox. I am thinking you and MKH would make a great team. Throw in KP and, ohh, hell. How about Rosie O’Donut, for comedy relief.
MalkinFan on August 24, 2007 at 10:47 PM
Or, translated to Chinese and back again:
Do not want!!!!!!!
Splunge on August 24, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Watching the rerun on FOX now. Michelle, you look angry. You’re BEAUTIFUL when you’re angry! Anybody who’s NOT angry is either not paying attention or they WANT illegal aliens overrunning the country.
Tony737 on August 24, 2007 at 11:16 PM
Oh snap. I do not have esp. I promise.
Theworldisnotenough on August 24, 2007 at 11:22 PM
Doesn’t get any better for me, than to see MM and Tancredo together. Thanks for the recap Fox..
Legions on August 24, 2007 at 11:23 PM
Geeeez!I do not think I saw the ‘fire inside’ projected better, evah, from Michelle on ‘da fachta’. And that is just from the start to Tanc.
When is O’Rielly retiring? And what will Michelle’s show be called?
She has the passion without the rage that ole Bill has…much nicer to watch.
Not to mention how good she looked tonight :)
Keep on keeping on Michelle…we’re all behind you!
lsutiger on August 24, 2007 at 11:30 PM
I want a Pin on button that says
Proud member of Malkin’s Maniacs
William Amos on August 24, 2007 at 11:34 PM
Hey Bill, you should really think seriously about retirement.
infidel4life on August 24, 2007 at 11:38 PM
Or, “WWMMD”. What Would Michelle Malkin Do.
Lawrence on August 24, 2007 at 11:41 PM
Heh. Reminds me of when Jay Leno was Johnny Carson’s only guest host
Theworldisnotenough on August 24, 2007 at 11:43 PM
As always, nobody does it better than Michele! My favorite part of the show was when she asked that porky POS, Ibrahim Ibish, “Can you say that with a straight face?” To be fair, first the guy will have to get a whole new head!
NightmareOnKStreet on August 24, 2007 at 11:52 PM
Yea, but she’s got a sweet backhand.
Burn!!!!!
BadgerHawk on August 25, 2007 at 12:21 AM
What? No Wii tournament video?
ScottMcC on August 25, 2007 at 12:24 AM
I LOVE how she verbally b!tch-slaps those morons who don’t even see it coming!
She rocks!
PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on August 25, 2007 at 12:26 AM
Well, I just got in from the game that we lost, but it was pre-season and they showed signs that things were going well. But I hate I missed this show. It seems like a good one.
I’d love to see the clip with Ibish (I cringe everytime I see that guy on TV). But I’m sure MM handled him with class.
I don’t like to comment on the physical looks either because a. it’s creepy, and b. it takes away from the substance of what MM is trying to say. . . but tonight from the clip here DAYUM! Awesome hair.
ThackerAgency on August 25, 2007 at 1:38 AM
I liked Tancredo’s passion in this interview, he often times is too calm and besides after the gang banging he got on H&C he had an open mic opportunity coming from Fox.
Did the honorable Congressman ever get an apology for that spew fest?
Speakup on August 25, 2007 at 1:45 AM
Even with all these horrific crimes carried out by so many illegal, so many still insist on open borders among otehr self destructive policies. It’s like these people are ideologically suicidal and don’t know they’re killing themselves and the rest of the nation with them.
Yakko77 on August 25, 2007 at 4:08 AM
I like the Tanc. He should do a Vent. Not just an interview, but a Vent.
Hey, Tom, If you appoint Michelle to a cabinet position you’ll have my vote for sure.
- The Cat
P.S. Laura Ingraham for Supreme Court.
P.P.S. Dennis Miller for Press Sec.
MirCat on August 25, 2007 at 4:13 AM
Inside Cable News usually posts the ratings for the previous day each afternoon/evening, though Thursday’s numbers don’t seem to be up yet.
rw on August 25, 2007 at 5:10 AM
Hmmmm….I notice that the FBI NEVER consults the Italian-American community first before they send their raiding teams out to make arrests. Any memember of law enforcement care to comment on why Arab-Americans are handled with PC gloves, but not Italian-Americans?
The False Dervish on August 25, 2007 at 8:33 AM
As usual, MM great job and hat’s off to you and Rep. Tancredo for staying on point that so many years of liberal control have allowed our “boarder, language, and culture” to be violated by those who have no regard for these precepts which our nation was built on.
As I have stated in another post, words have meaning. Categorizing persons in this country as illegal immigrants is a violation of Webster.
An immigrant (arrival) is an invited guest who migrates (transits) other countries/boarders as they emigrate (leave) their home country.
What is often missed (or purposefully ignored) is the fact that a legal immigrants home country has properly consulted with U.S. and we are in agreement that both countries can benefit form their citizens visit to U.S.
MSGTAS on August 25, 2007 at 11:08 AM
Thank you Michelle for having Tancredo on. It was an exceptionally great interview!
moonsbreath on August 25, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Tancredo-Malkin 2008?
Brains and Brains and Beauty.
profitsbeard on August 25, 2007 at 11:20 AM
I REALLY hate I missed the MM smack down on Ibish. That’s something I might even pay to see. One question about him and Islam though. Doesn’t his physical appearance strike in the face of the notion that Islam promotes physical fitness because of the prayers?
Are we supposed to believe that the Ibish guy can get up and down to do the prayers 5 times a day? I would bet he can’t do 2 sit ups. I realize that he is ‘fraud incorporated’, but it seems obvious that he doesn’t exercise anything but his mouth, ego, pride, and victimization gland.
I guess more to the reason of why so many Muslims are skinny is because they are typically in a region with little food.
ThackerAgency on August 25, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Now that is sweet!
mikeyboss on August 25, 2007 at 4:15 PM
Unfoertunately Neilson says they are having problems getting the ratings for friday and they will be out later
here is how O ‘reilly did on the 20th with michelle on there
nielson ratings
William Amos on August 25, 2007 at 4:27 PM
crap went to the full page here is the numbers
8pm
O’Reilly 491
Countdown 247
Larry King 174
Grace 134
William Amos on August 25, 2007 at 4:30 PM
Michelle is easy on the eyes and delectable to the intellect.
TheSitRep on August 25, 2007 at 8:36 PM
So where the hell is Jessie and Sharpton on these horendeous murders on blacks???!!!???!!!!>??????!!!!!!
auspatriotman on August 25, 2007 at 10:31 PM
Seeing Michelle host for O’Reilly is like having dinner AND desert at the same time! :-D
Michelle always does and excellent job when she hosts.
The False Dervish on August 25, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Good job as always.
My parents love Michelle. They think she is so brilliant. Had to say that.
One day maybe Michelle will have her own show.
Highrise on August 26, 2007 at 3:27 AM
I’m way late with a comment but I just love the passion the Boss has. The Memo was spot on and needs to be said again and again and again. Beat them over the head with it. You all know what Goebbels said,”If a lie is told often enough…” Well, that can work with the truth too. Can’t it?
And even if Tancredo doesn’t win the nomination, at least he will still be in the House to raise this issue as nauseum.
Love the idea of Dennis Miller as Press Sec. The press corp might have to carry a thersaruas with them to the briefings. A common question might be.”…just to follow up, how do you spell that?”
JohnnyD on August 26, 2007 at 8:49 AM
Correction:
That’s ad nauseum
Geez, and I even used the preview button.
JohnnyD on August 26, 2007 at 8:51 AM
Oh yeah, forgot to add…did everyone catch what Tancredo said on his way out of the segment?
“It’s nice to have a conversation with you”
Did you hear that too Mr. Angry Mustache? Bwahaha. Hope it left a mark!
JohnnyD on August 26, 2007 at 9:44 AM
Missed this one because my cable was out, and was repaired a day later. But I’ll take the highlights.
Bigfoot on August 26, 2007 at 2:42 PM
“The Tanc just doesn’t get enough love around here.” Indeed. Thank you for posting this awesome clip Bryan.
I don’t watch O’Reilly anymore–unless Michelle hosts. As a matter of fact, I don’t watch FNC at all since i saw the clip of Brit Hume’s show that AP posted about the NAU…However, I must admit that they have no choice, I’m sure that they all signed a contract that keeps them from saying anything the gov’t media complex deems dangerous for the common folk to know. That’s why I excuse Michelle (and Sean) when she doesn’t talk about the NAU. She’s doing a great job despite the gag order, unlike others who shall remain in denial.
Christine on August 26, 2007 at 7:15 PM
I have decided MM needs to host her own FOX show Sunday nite. She would bring HUGE ratings to the 9 p.m. time slot. This chick they have on now is boring.
PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on August 26, 2007 at 10:44 PM
Every day I see that cute smile of hers, my day gets a little brighter.
