The following is a transcript of Judge Jeanine Pirro's opening statement from last night. Sometimes the perception of power is more important than power itself. As our president continues to fumble on the world stage, he single-handedly is bringing about the decline of the U.S. as a world power, something that impacts you in every way from your pocketbook to your safety. This decline in power has been ongoing since Barack Obama took office. Starting with the red lines... The finger wagging... Removing economic sanctions against Iran, allowing it to continue its nuclear buildup... Relying on Russian President Putin to...

Dear friends, we have gathered here today in connection with an issue that is of vital, historic significance to all of us. A referendum was held in Crimea on March 16 in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms. More than 82 percent of the electorate took part in the vote. Over 96 percent of them spoke out in favour of reuniting with Russia. These numbers speak for themselves. To understand the reason behind such a choice it is enough to know the history of Crimea and what Russia and Crimea have always meant for each other. Everything in...

O'REILLY: All right. Was it the biggest mistake of your presidency to tell the nation over and over, if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance? OBAMA: But this is -- this is one that I regret and I've said I regretted, in part because we put in a grandfather clause in the original law saying that, in fact, you were supposed to be able to keep it. It obviously didn't cover everybody that we needed to and that's why we changed it, so that we further grandfathered in folks and many people who thought originally, when they...

<p>Good afternoon, everybody. Ten days ago, the world watched in horror as men, women and children were massacred in Syria in the worst chemical weapons attack of the 21st century. Yesterday the United States presented a powerful case that the Syrian government was responsible for this attack on its own people.</p>

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT GRETA: Rush Limbaugh On the Record, and you'll hear Rush say things you have never heard him say before. But first, in our one-on-one interview, Rush Limbaugh tells us what he thinks of President Obama's "phony scandal" campaign. BEGIN CLIP GRETA: Let me ask you, talking about the scandals, President Obama says the scandals are phony. Why do you think he says they're phony? Because he believes it, or is there a strategy? RUSH: No, there's a strategy. You know, I've been troubled by something with Obama. You know, I playfully call it the "Regime," 'cause I know...

Known to neighborhood watchers around the nation, "Neighborhood Watch for Dummies" is required reading for wannabe cops who can't cut it and end up in the neighborhood watch profession. Neighborhood watching isn't a lucrative part time job, but it is one with a lasting television contract and its own game show, "What's My Lie?" On today's show, we are dealing with the Police Dispatcher who told George Zimmerman to "stay in Peru where your kind should be kept". All of us know that had George followed that simple instruction from the police, that little Trayvon Martin would not have had...

The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release - July 14, 2013 Statement by the President The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do,...

First lady Michelle Obama got into a heated confrontation with a heckler at a fundraiser on Tuesday night, though the standoff never made its way into the official transcript put out by the White House. The pool report, which is produced by and for members of the media, detailed the incident. According to the report, the first lady was interrupted about 12 minutes into her speech at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Washington. A pro-gay rights protester began shouting in support of an executive order on gay rights. "One of the things I don´t do well is this,"

“Hi,” she says, striding into the room with a smooth gait and a low, sure voice. “I’m Chelsea!” The handshake is confident, the eyes firmly fixed. With the ease of her father and the directness of her mother, Chelsea Clinton is stepping out into the world. At 33, she wears her political royalty in triplicate: There are her famous parents, of course, but also her mother-in-law, former Pennsylvania congresswoman Marjorie Margolies. After several years in the private sector (with McKinsey & Company, then with a hedge fund), Clinton has emerged onto the civic stage in her own right, graceful and...

The following is a transcript of an interview between an atheist American journalist and then-Cardinal Bergolio. It is clear why the interview was never broadcast. In it, Cardinal Bergoglio makes mincemeat of the typical leftist interview techniques of so many people in the broadcast media. CAMERA ON / BEGIN TRANSCRIPT REPORTER: Welcome Cardinal. BERGOGLIO: Thank you. Happy to speak with you. REPORTER: Well, let me get into it directly. Last conclave, you were almost elected Pope. Can this happen again? BERGOGLIO: What? That I will almost be the Pope, again? REPORTER: No. Will you be the next Pope? BERGOGLIO: Friend,...

I have a message for the President, a message that is loud and clear, a message that doesn’t mince words. The message for the President is that no one person gets to decide the law, no one person gets to decide your guilt or innocence. My question to the President was about more than just killing Americans on American soil. My question was about whether Presidential power has limits. Lincoln put it well when he wrote, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man, give him power.” President Obama who seemed, once upon a...

Watch Allen West’s full speech from CPAC 2013 below:

The Obama campaign has released a transcript of the president’s conversation with the editorial board of the Des Moines Register.

CANDY CROWLEY: Good evening from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. I'm Candy Crowley from CNN's State of the Union. We are here for the second presidential debate, a town hall sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates. The Gallup Organization chose 82 uncommitted voters from the New York area. Their questions will drive the night. My goal is to give the conversation direction and to ensure questions get answered. The questions are known to me and my team only. Neither the commission nor the candidates have seen them. I hope to get to as many questions as possible. And...
