FOX News announced that Rush Limbaugh will be the special guest on an upcoming FOX News Sunday with Chris Matthews.

In the most overt ploy yet to control the media the Obama Administration attempted to prevent FOX News from interviewing Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg on Thursday. At the same time the White House granted permission to interview Feinberg to CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC. This came on the heels of David Axelrod’s appearance on ABC’s This Week where he asserted that FOX was not a real news organization urging that other authentic news organizations such as ABC “ought not to treat them that way”. This is simply a continuation of strategies derived from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals in which Rule 5 of the...

Rush Limbaugh, probably the most influential voice in the cause of conservatism, appeared on The Today Show on Monday, October 12. Part 2 of Rush's Today Show interview, which was conducted by Jamie Gangel, will be broadcast tomorrow. Below is the complete transcript of Part 1, preceded by a short exchange between Matt Lauer and Gangel, then followed immediately by the video:

The former Vice Presidential candidate opens up about her running life and explains why she's still on the trail. Do you remember your first race? My dad was a track coach and he'd get all the neighborhood kids together and take us to Anchorage for track meets when we were very young. Anchorage is 50 miles from Wasilla. And ever since we were little, we'd do 10-K races as family fun runs. Tell me about a memorable run during the campaign that really stands out. Oh, my gosh, the one that really stands out I'm embarrassed to death to repeat.

In a Meet the Press interview with Bill Clinton on September 27, NBC's David Gregory seemed to assume as accepted fact that the only way to fix healthcare was for Americans to "pay higher taxes." He also asked the former chief executive if the "vast right wing conspiracy" that his wife bemoaned in 1998 was now in high gear attacking President Obama. During the interview, Gregory brought up the "big challenges" that Obama was facing, particularly with the healthcare issue. In his question, though, Gregory did not phrase his healthcare question by using qualifiers like "Obama says," or "Democrats claim."...

In answer to one journalist who asked whether he might not be lending credibility to Ahmadenijad by addressing his denial of the Holocaust, Netanyahu chose to focus on a prescient experience he had with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, 25 years ago.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sat down for an exclusive interview with CBS News Anchor Katie Couric hours before his planned address to the United Nations Wednesday. Ahmadinejad spoke on a wide range of issues

In the first few minutes, Couric asks him about his party affiliation (he leans libertarian), and he starts his answer by saying that when he was younger, he was socially liberal, but that he was also an alcoholic. When he got sober, he realized that liberalism was really not all it was cracked up to be. Couric didn't like that at all, but Beck just does an aw-shucks and gets out of it. It is a great.

Here’s the audio from Jim’s interview with Ed Morrissey from Hot Air this morning.(September 17, 2009) Ed’s got plenty to read over on Hot Air on a daily basis and his weekly column over at American Issues Project. His column today dives into static and dynamic analysis of tax policy – which really is an easy topic to understand – and how Sen. Max Baucus’ (D-Mont.) health care legislation proposal is a good example static tax policy analysis.

U. S. Representive Joe Wilson, who blurted out "You lie" during President Obama's healthcare address, was interviewed today by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. Below is the transcript of the interview, while above is the video:

Rob Miller and Nan Warshaw are a couple of punk rock drummers who started Bloodshot Records... released 170 albums by artists such as Neko Case, Ryan Adams, Alejandro Escovedo and the Waco Brothers. ...pushing a style of grassroots music once dubbed “insurgent country,” but which now can be more aptly categorized as a straight-no-chaser combination of rock, blues, soul, folk and country... Miller: I suppose one of the reasons we stuck around is that we had no intention of being an ongoing concern... If we had set it all up in a conference room instead of a bar like we...

If you are wondering what Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow are going to be spending the week talking about now that the Kennedy memorial is over, get over to Foxnews.com and watch former Vice President Dick Cheney’s blockbuster interview with Chris Wallace. In an extraordinarily blunt, straightforward—and witty—interview, the former Vice President gives his unvarnished, no-holds-barred opinion on the revelation this week that Attorney General Eric Holder was beginning a criminal probe of CIA interrogators, and the implications it has for national security. While Cheney is composed and relaxed throughout, there is little doubt that his outrage at...

<p>WALLACE: Mr. Vice President, welcome back to "FOX News Sunday."</p> <p>CHENEY: It's good to be back, Chris.</p> <p>WALLACE: This is your first interview since Attorney General Holder named a prosecutor to investigate possible CIA abuses of terror detainees. What do you think of that decision? CHENEY: I think it's a terrible decision. President Obama made the announcement some weeks ago that this would not happen, that his administration would not go back and look at or try to prosecute CIA personnel.</p>

I had looked forward to interviewing Phelim McAleer at the Right Online conference about his new film, Not Evil Just Wrong: The True Cost of Global Warming Hysteria, since I interviewed him at CPAC about his efforts on the documentary at that point. This time, though, Phelim’s co-director and wife Ann McElhinney joined us to discuss the film, the radical environmental movement, and how Rachel Carson changed the world — to the detriment of tens of millions of people who have needlessly died through the banning of DDT.

WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the nation's top safety officials is putting manufacturers on notice: Comply with new rules aimed at keeping children's products safe, or face the potential of big fines. Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman Inez Tenenbaum said Tuesday that her agency will get new enforcement tools next month—and she plans to use them in order to protect consumers, especially children.

WASHINGTON – Former CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden angrily struck back Saturday at assertions the Bush administration's post-9/11 surveillance program was more far-reaching than imagined and was largely concealed from congressional overseers. In an interview with The Associated Press, Hayden maintained that top members of Congress were kept well-informed all along the way, notwithstanding protests from some that they were kept in the dark. "One of the points I had in every one of the briefings was to make sure they understood the scope of our activity 'They've got to know this is bigger than a bread box,' I said,"...

And there is going to be a certain amount of lag time between getting shovels on the ground, out on rebuilding roads and bridges, and actually seeing job numbers improve. But even as we're thinking short term on how to relieve the very real burdens that American families are feeling, the question I have to wrestle with, and we have to wrestle with now is, how are we going to get the economy on a growth track that is sustainable over the long term? And that's where this debate around health care, energy, education, and the shape of our government...

James Gordon Meek of the New York Daily News has posted two recent stories based on documents he obtained through FOIA on the FBI's interview of Saddam Hussein. Meek says that, according to the documents, Saddam denied links to al Qaeda just as he did prior to the invasion and the Baath party recently denied again on their website. In one of the documented interviews Hussein referred to America as his enemy and in another interview discussed Iraq's relationship with, and level of support for anti-Israel groups linked with Abu Nidal and Abu Abbas, who he referred to as "guests."

As the country has tipped into a deep recession over the past two years, North Dakota, under the leadership of the nation's longest-serving governor, John Hoeven, has bucked every trend. In 2008, North Dakota's economy grew 7.3%, twice as fast as any other state except Wyoming, which grew 4.4%. By this point, many states in the industrial Midwest, and housing-bubble states like Arizona, Nevada and Florida, were already shrinking. Unemployment in North Dakota is the lowest in the nation at 4.4%, less than half the national average. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says North Dakota and Montana are...

An Iranian student protester in Tehran made a passionate plea for help from the world community this morning in a phone call to CNN’s “American Morning.” -excerpt- Roberts: Mohammad, -excerpt- Are the students seeking regime change? Are they looking to bring down the Ayatollah and completely change the form of government there in Iran? Or are you looking for – as has been suggested – more civil rights, more freedoms within the context of the existing regime? Mohammad: Yes.... For about three decades our nation has been humiliated and insulted by this regime. Now Iranians are united again one more...

WASHINGTON – A federal judge said Thursday that he wants to look at notes from the FBI's interview with former Vice President Dick Cheney during the investigation into who leaked the identity of a CIA operative. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan's decision to review the documents followed arguments by Obama administration lawyers that sounded much like the reasons the Bush administration provided for keeping Cheney's interview from the public. Justice Department lawyers told the judge that future presidents and vice presidents may not cooperate with criminal investigations if they know what they say could become available to their political opponents...

President Obama also criticized Fox News, al though not by name, for "attacking" him. It’s very hard for me to swallow that one,” Obama said. “First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” he added,

SEE VIDEO! When "Today's" Matt Lauer said to Palin that Letterman had insisted the jokes were about her adult daughter, Bristol, Governor Palin said, "Matt, I would say you and anyone else are extremely naive to believe that convenient excuse of Dave's. Took him a couple days to think of that excuse. No, he wasn't talking about my fourteen year old daughter who was at the game with me? He was talking about some other daughter?"

Greta Van Susteren will interview former V.P. Dick Cheney tonight 10PM ET

Hard work, sports and family activities formed the foundation of the Heath household. The entire family often competed in five-kilometer and ten-kilometer races. Hunting, fishing, skiing and camping kept them outdoors year-round. Everyone had chores. Whether they were weeding the family garden, stacking firewood or picking strawberries, Chuck and Sally's children understood the value of work. By age 12, each child was expected to earn his or her own spending money and save for college.

WALLACE: Joining us now is the former speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. He is also the author, along with his daughter, of a new book called “5 Principles for a Successful Life.” And, Mr. Speaker, welcome back to “FOX News Sunday.” GINGRICH: Good to be here. WALLACE: House Speaker Pelosi continues to deny that she was ever briefed on the enhanced interrogation techniques that were actually used against Al Qaida operative Abu Zubaydah. But a newly released list of congressional briefings -- and let’s put it up -- says that Pelosi received, quote, “a description of the particular EITs,”...

He's only been in the job for a month, but already the foreign minister is fed up with the 'slogans' he keeps hearing from his international counterparts: occupation, settlements, land-for-peace, two-state solutions... His favored key words? Security (for Israel). A stronger economy (for the Palestinians). And stability (for all). Bringing peace to our region is more complex than sloganeering would allow, he tells The Jerusalem Post in this interview, his first with an Israeli newspaper. And it's time we all faced up to the inconvenient reality. Last Thursday, just a few hours after The Jerusalem Post completed this interview with...

Our exclusive headliner on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" this Sunday: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in his first American interview since President Barack Obama's election. George sat down exclusively with the Iranian president for a wide-ranging interview about his thoughts on President Obama and the prospect of a "new beginning" between the U.S. and Iran. And, some spirited exchanges, as you might imagine, on the nuclear talks, the Holocaust, who's really to blame for the breakdown in U.S. - Iran relations, and Roxana Saberi, the 31-year-old Iranian-American journalist convicted in Iran of espionage.

Liz Cheney, former State Department official and daughter of former VP Dick Cheney appeared on MSNBC on Thursday with anchor Norah O'Donnell.

The following transcript is via MSNBC, or you can view the video below. There are some embedded comments in the transcript.

1. What struck you the most about the way President Bush acted in person? Two things. First, you’d be hard-pressed to find another professional politician who treats his staff as well as George W. Bush. He’s a genuinely decent man and he cares deeply for the people he employs. Second, President Bush’s intellectual abilities are dramatically undersold by most media portrayals. By his own admission, he is not a soaring orator, and you could often see his discomfort with public speeches or interviews. But when you spend time with him in a comfortable, private setting, the results are quite different.

Congressional Quarterly has posted a transcript of “Fox News Sunday,” including this exchange between Chris Wallace and Newt Gingrich about the former House speaker’s conversion to Catholicism: WALLACE: Mr. Gingrich, you have been a Baptist most of your life, and last Sunday you converted to Catholicism. Why, sir? GINGRICH: I’m not talking about this much publicly, but let me just say that I found over the course of the last decade, attending the basilica, meeting with Monsignor Rossi, reading the literature, that there was a peace in my soul and a sense of well being in the Catholic Church, and...

This morning's interview-callin with Daniel Hannen is scheduled for repeat on C-Span at 1:15 AM EDT.

He is in London for this interview and takes calls from US viewers.

Ayn Rand, the author of Atlas Shrugged is interviewed by Mike Wallace in 1959. She talks morality and government. If I had to peg her, I would say she'd be a backer of Ron Paul. Definitely not a Palin supporter. I did just get her book and am into the second chapter. It's a good read so far.Libertas

(CNSNews.com) - Actress Lynda Carter, best known for her role as Wonder Woman on television, said that while there always is a loyal opposition to the party in power, the political “right wing” in America is “spreading hate.” Carter, who spoke with CNSNews.com at an event to raise awareness about mental illness, also said “it’s pathetic that we don’t do more” for the homeless in America. “You know, the last eight years I was the loyal opposition and now there’s another loyal opposition,” Carter told CNSNews.com at the Green Door gala. “The only problem I really have is the spreading...
