This is an audio interview of Sarah Palin by Laura Ingraham. It is right here.Two awesome women, Radio Phenomenon Laura Ingraham and Political Revolution Sarah Palin, talk specifically about the Right to Life.

Conservative talk radio rails against bailout Fri Sep 26, 2008 3:33pm EDT By Matthew Bigg ATLANTA (Reuters) - Opposition to a massive Wall Street bailout plan has quickly emerged on conservative talk radio, with hosts and callers saying the rescue undermines principles at the heart of the Republican Party. Tens of millions of conservatives tune in to AM talk radio, trusting nationally syndicated hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Neal Boortz over media outlets they say have a liberal bias. "I really don't like this (proposal)," said Lance from North Carolina on the "Today's Issues" program...

THE CONSERVATIVE ELITES ATTACK! In today's New York Times, David Brooks launches a critique of Sarah Palin, essentially concluding that her populist appeal is dangerous and ill-conceived. He yearns for the day when "conservatism was once a frankly elitist movement," one that stressed "classical education, hard-earned knowledged, experience, and prudence." Brooks, like a handful of other conservative intellectuals, believes Palin "compensates for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness." Well, at the risk of appearing brash, let me say that I am glad to see my old friend finally pushed to the point where he has to make...

The Salem-owned stations have provided the major-market backbone for (Laura) Ingraham’s Talk Radio Network-syndicated show, but today appears to be their last day together. That’s what lies behind yesterday’s announcement that in southern California, Saul Levine’s L.A.-market KGIL/1260 and San Diego-market sister XESURF/540 will pick up Laura beginning next week. That’s because Laura’s off of Salem’s KRLA (870). I believe she’ll also be off the Salem conservative talk stations in places like Philadelphia (WNTP/990) and Chicago (WIND/560). Earlier this Summer, Laura was locked out (she says) by Talk Radio Network as they began to negotiate a renewal of her five-year...

Laura Ingraham was discussing the comments of Sally Quinn of Washington Post fame. She is the queen of the Washington elite. Sally, as have others, has been criticizing Sarah Palin for putting her career ahead of her family. Oh, what happened to women's lib, Sally? I was able to get through to Laura's show, and she put me on right away. Yes, Sarah's family is going to be put second. But not to her career ----- to the country. As soldiers and the families of soldiers do every day, Sarah and her family are going to make a substantial sacrifice...

Most conservatives did not think that the selection of Palin was truly under consideration, but we have all been pleasantly surprised. Perhaps “surprised” understates our emotions. How about “shocked”, “awed”, “inspired”, and “thrilled”! It simply doesn’t get any better than the 44 year old Palin. If conservatives were caught off guard, you may rest assured that the Democrats were even more blown away – and in spite of last night’s Obama euphoria, they will lose considerable sleep tonight. Look at this! Palin is all of: · A Devout Christian · Pro-Life & Traditional Family Values · Fiscal Conservative · Tax-Cutter...

Laura Ingraham interviewed Danielle Bologna this morning. It was a tear-filled, emotional, gut-wrenching interview. Danielle was widowed on June 22 when Edwin Ramos, 21, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, allegedly gunned down her husband, Anthony, and two sons, Matthew and Michael, in a road rage incident when her family was returning from a picnic. Ramos was a felon. He was protected by Mayor Gavin Newsome and his San Francisco sanctuary policy and not reported to ICE for deportation. He was out walking free and was able to murder three Americans. The mayor, who is the champion of gay marriage,...

An article in this morning's Boston Herald, entitled: Laura Ingraham’s wilder side revealed By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa touts this video.

7/3 - DCRTV hears that Fox News has decided to end its 5 PM Laura Ingraham experiment after just three weeks. The DC-based right-leaning host has already returned to her national radio show and will continue to fill-in on Bill O'Reilly's TV show. Fox will return to "America's Election HQ" at 5 PM, with rotating hosts. DCRTV has reported that Citadel talker WMAL wants Ingraham for its late morning slot. She currently airs on talker WTNT, which was just bought by Redskins owner Dan Snyder.....

The conservative talker writes on her website "We are apparently being allowed to return to the airwaves June 30. Keep your fingers crossed." Ingraham had previously posted on her website that her absence from radio "is not of my choosing, nor is it health or family related." Since being off radio for a large part of June, Ingraham found her way onto Fox News, anchoring their new 5pm ET news show. Last week, in an interview with the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz, she claimed "TRN 'barred her from her Washington studio after talks about a new contract hit a snag.'"...

Several weeks into a network- imposed lockout, radio talk show host Laura Ingraham still doesn't have a firm return date for her program. Meanwhile, her syndicator is clearly busy trying to contain the damage. Clearly worried about the potential loss of program affiliates, the Talk Radio Network has circulated an email to station managers that attempts to alleviate mounting concerns over her absence from the show. In addition, the memo, which your Radio Equalizer has obtained, discusses the possibility of full- time syndication for weekend host Monica Crowley: Greetings, TRN recently launched The Monica Crowley Show on the weekends, and...

Laura is hammering on the Fairness Doctrine.. God I love this woman!

Just heard that from a group exec who’s been critical of her syndicator’s lockout of a star talent during the last weeks of the Spring rating period. (Laura’s been gone since June 2.) He emails me to say “the Laura Ingraham people called” – meaning TRN – “and they say she will be back on or before June 30.” I think that’s been their line for a couple of weeks now. Problem is, the Arbitron Spring survey period ends next Wednesday, June 25. The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz supplies one detail that’s new: I thought Ingraham’s contract was up in...

Fighting Ingraham's Battle, Activists Waste Valuable Time At a time when conservatives face important political battles heading into November's election, one radio host would have the right waste valuable resources fighting for her lucrative syndication contract. After playing her hand much too aggressively while courting a rival broadcast outfit, Laura Ingraham has found herself locked out at the Talk Radio Network, which has handled her show since an abrupt exit from Westwood One nearly five years ago. While your Radio Equalizer certainly doesn't expect Ingraham to back down from her contention that she's done nothing wrong, attempting to drag the...

She could certainly continue doing the daily radio show from which she's been mysteriously absent the past week or so - but Fox News Channel says she'll be one of a series of personalities who get a shot at the permanent 5pm hosting job. She'll start next Monday, June 16, in the time period that had been hosted by John Gibson until February, and more recently by Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly. The New York Times says it was the first to report the story online, late this morning, and it speculates that the current "America's Election HQ" theme may...

Support Laura Ingraham NOW! Michael Gaynor Michael GaynorJune 10, 2008 Let's tell Talk Radio Network's management that we want Laura back on the air NOW People: Laura Ingraham deserves your support. At her website (www.lauraingraham.com), this message is posted: NOTE TO LAURA LISTENERS Due to contractual obligations, for the present time I am unable to reveal why I am not currently hosting The Laura Ingraham Show. Rest assured, this absence is not of my choosing, nor is it health or family related. I am ready, willing and eager to continue the conversation we started seven years ago about politics and...

The Fox News Channel, which has been seeking a new format for the 5 p.m. hour, will place a rotating series of personalities in the time slot beginning next week, including the conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. Ms. Ingraham, one of the country’s most popular radio hosts, frequently fills in for Bill O’Reilly, and Fox executives appear to be grooming her as a new talent for the network.

Other people will also receive trial runs in the time slot.

On America's Newsroom they just introduced Laura Ingram and got her take on the political race. Then they said congratulations and that her new segment would be called "Just In" I'm thinking she's moving toward having her own show on Fox. This explains her mysterious disappearance from the radion partially.

Laura Ingraham's Radio Absence Creates Speculation After an unexplained radio absence and a cryptic message from one of her producers, speculation is building that syndicated radio talker Laura Ingraham may have at least temporarily stepped away from her program. It has been carried on hundreds of stations across the country. Worried listeners have already begun to email your Radio Equalizer, while attempts to confirm her possible departure from the Talk Radio Network- distributed show are met with a peculiar silence. Will Laura return at some point, or has she already moved on? When yours truly contacted a number of people...

"And guess what this member* would be all about? This member would be all about socializing — er, uh. [Pauses for several moments] …. would be about … [pause] … basically … taking over, and the government running all of your companies.” The brilliant leftist, Maxine Waters!

It appears the New York Post's assessment that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is on the verge of another professional meltdown was quite prescient. On Monday's "Countdown," answering to criticism that his Special Comment last Wednesday about President Bush's "panoramic and murderous deceit" was so over the top that he should be suspended, Olbermann had the unmitigated audacity to claim those offended were showing "their instinctive hatred for, and contempt for" America's troops. His targets: conservative commentators and stalwart supporters of the United States military including radio hosts Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin.

With just over six months before United States citizens choose their 44th president, the 2008 election is already proving to be the most fascinating and potentially one of the closest contests in living memory. Among those who will help Americans decide are the ubiquitous political pundits who help drive the national conversation and shape public opinion.

Eric Alterman’s new book on Why We're Liberals isn’t just plagued with errors, it makes wild charges, like attacking conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, suggesting she was anti-Semitic for cheering on the movie The Passion of the Christ. In a chapter about how conservatives mock the elites, when they themselves are rich and pampered, Alterman wrote about conservatives: "In Ingraham’s case, as in many others, one detects a strain of anti-Semitism in her insistent elite-bashing." From pages 173-74: In observing the members of the conservative elite denouncing "elitists, it can be difficult to tell your players without the proverbial scorecard. For...

The New York Times must really like John McCain. Twice in the span of one month the paper has printed endorsements of the senator. The first of these came in January, courtesy of the Times’ editorial board, which magnanimously pronounced the senator the least contemptible of the Republican candidates. The second, and ultimately the more helpful to McCain, came yesterday, when the Times published a thinly sourced page-one hit piece alleging ethical improprieties and a possible affair by the senator.

But now, we have establishment Republicans parroting liberal ad hominem rhetoric: Talk-radio hosts are talentless blabbermouths. Their listeners are mind-numbed robots. Or, as supposed free-market conservative and McCain supporter Phil Gramm told the Washington Post last week in his broadside against talk radio: “They say they have principles, but some of it is their ego and power, too. They’re well-known, and they’re used to having power.” Funny. These trash-talking GOP politicians and pundits had no problem when conservative talk-radio hosts used their “ego and power” to help kill Hillary Clinton’s massive government health-care takeover in 1994. They had no problem...

Now that Mitt Romney has stepped aside in the GOP presidential race, many conservatives are trying to figure out where to go from here. John McCain will be the Republican presidential nominee. Conservatives are dispirited because on many issues they don't consider him one of them. And it's true -- he is a moderate who considered leaving the GOP in 2001 ... he did think about joining John Kerry's ticket in 2004 ... and he did side with liberals over conservatives on everything from immigration to closing Gitmo. But we have no time to be dejected and have to keep...

Short List of possible VP Candidates: Romney, Huckabee, Coburn, Hunter, Thompson, DeMint, Sessions, Lynn Cheney, Ingraham, Rush, Mark Levin, Lieberman, Giuliani, Condy Rice, Colin Powell, Rumsfeld, JOhn Bolton, Pawlenty, Sanford, Stallone, Chuck Norris, J. C. Watts, Jeb Bush, Michael Steele Any others? Have at it.

"I think the question," she [Ingraham] said to cheers, "is what have you been doing for conservatism lately? Mitt Romney is the conservative’s conservative," she said, suggesting that of all the people who got to introduce candidates at this forum she was the one introducing the conservative.

"He just told Laura Ingraham he won't vote for McCain in the general election."

Dr. James Dobson released a statement to The Laura Ingraham Show today, stating his personal opinions of this critical election. As voters in 24 states headed to the polls today to choose a presidential nominee, Dr. James Dobson released a statement to The Laura Ingraham Show. He stated his personal opinions of this critical election: "I am deeply disappointed the Republican Party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage, voted for embryonic stem-cell research to kill nascent human beings, opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty, has...

I am deeply disappointed the Republican Party seems poised to select a nominee who did not support a Constitutional amendment to protect the institution of marriage, voted for embryonic stem cell research to kill nascent human beings, opposed tax cuts that ended the marriage penalty, has little regard for freedom of speech, organized the Gang of 14 to preserve filibusters in judicial hearings, and has a legendary temper and often uses foul and obscene language. I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes...

She clearly stated: I'm not one of those folks who will say that I won't vote for him. She earlier said that she just didn't think this was the time to turn to party over to the Dole/Ford wing of the Republican Party. She called McCain an amazing man, and that she deeply respected him.

In her interview with Rick Santorum in which he endorsed Mitt Romney, Laura declared that she will be "pulling the lever for Romney" in the DC primary. Again, the transcript of the interview will be posted as soon as it is available.

Rick Santorum just endorsed Mitt Romney on the Laura Ingraham Show. I will post the transcript as soon as possible.

FRIDAY'S GUESTS: Byron York of National Review (Fridays With Byron). Sen. Rick Santorum of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Rick Santorum Senior Fellow Rick Santorum, a Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, established and directs EPPC's Program to Protect America's Freedom. He is writing a book on the "gathering storm" of the 21st century -- the challenges posed by radical Islamic fascism and its growing alliances around the world. Mr. Santorum served as United States Senator from Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007 and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 1995....

Guests will be Byron York of National Review and Pat Buchanan

Susan Esterich & Greta Van Sustern are assuring us that Governor Mike Huckabee is “NOT the CANDIDATE that Republicans want. LOL!!!!!! Hillary Clinton congratulated Republicans for seeing the light" obviously to sow more dischord among us. Oh, thank you so much Susan for your genuinly altruistic advice. I am so glad that you Democrats want us to get the best candidate we can procure! I have no doubt that those who are already inebriated with the Ingraham, Coulter & Hannity Kool-Aid are credulous enough to believe that those DEMOCRATS are unselfishly looking out for the best interest of the REPUBLICAN...

The Greatest Gift. The ineffable generosity of our soldiers and those who love them. Megan pulled a three-ring binder out of her bag and showed me a photograph of herself and her husband. Young — they’re both 21 — with big smiles on their faces, and obviously wildly in love. “That’s what he looked like,” she said with a somber face, “He was such a cutie-pie, always buying me little stuffed animals and writing the most thoughtful notes the entire time he was in Iraq.” Then she showed me the photo of her husband receiving the Purple Heart on Wednesday...

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Megan pulled a three-ring binder out of her bag and showed me a photograph of herself and her husband. Young--they're both 21--with big smiles on their faces and obviously wildly in love. "That's what he looked like," she said with a somber face, "He was such a cutie-pie?always buying me little stuffed animals and writing the most thoughtful notes the entire time he was in Iraq." Then she showed me the photo of her husband receiving the Purple Heart on Wednesday from President Bush at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. As President Bush pinned the medal on...

HH: Joined now by my colleague on many of these great radio stations, and author of the New York Times bestselling Power To The People, Laura Ingraham. Laura, Merry Christmas to you, and welcome. LI: Hey, Merry Christmas, Hugh, great to be on with you. HH: Well, thank you for making some time today. I am canvassing the influencers as to their reaction to Mitt Romney’s speech. For those who haven’t been able to listen to you this morning, what was the Laura Ingraham take on The Speech? LI: Well, I thought it was a really good speech. I mean,...

I didn't reveal it to the listeners because I wanted you to tell us when you came on the show about who you were endorsing for the Republican nomination." David Keene: "Well, I decided earlier this week and announced this morning that I'm supporting Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. I came to that decision after a lot of thought.

The chain reaction triggered by 1070 WIBC’s impending move to 93.1 FM continues to shake up the Indianapolis market. In late October, Cumulus’ FM Talker 93.9 WWFT announced plans to drop its format in favor of Christmas music. That move occurred today. However, WWFT’s programming will continue on in the Indianapolis market as Pilgrim Communication’s southern rimshot “Gold 95.9″ WIAU Franklin will drop its Oldies format on Monday to become WFDM “Freedom 95.9“. WFDM will feature all of the syndicated hosts that had been heard on WWFT: Mancow, Laura Ingraham, Dave Ramsey, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Mark Levin.

Don't forget Laura we be on The View tomorrow. It will be worthwhile to see her taking on the Witches of Eastwick.

Wednesday, Oct 31, 2007 "The Laura Ingraham Show" October 31, 2007 Governor Romney On Senator Clinton And Driver's Licenses For Illegal Immigrants: Laura Ingraham: "Did you think that Hillary got hit at all or wounded or did they really not really give her many body blows." Governor Romney: "No, I didn't think she took many body blows. She demonstrated herself – she was tap dancing so much that I thought I turned it to 'Dancing with the Stars.' She was refusing to answer the most straight questions that were given to her. 'Do you support illegal aliens receiving driver's licenses?'...
