BRET BAIER: Charles, Republicans would phrase it saying if the president wants to close the government, they would provide a continuing resolution that would leave the government open or defund Obamacare, and we know how you feel about this, but that's how they would phrase it. That's how actually, to Jessica Yellin's (of CNN) credit, she asked the

JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO: What the president said and what the president has done is as distressing as anything I have observed the government doing in my entire professional life. This president has orchestrated an end run around the constitution of gargantuan proportions. He approved it, he authorized it, he knows it's extend. He did it in secret

AILES: Well, generally I don’t confirm or deny any rumors; that’s a rumor at the moment. However Megyn has earned a better time period, she’ll be in our prime time lineup. But I must quickly say that all of our stars will be back. We have new deals with Hannity and Greta and Shep. Shep and I have been working quietly on something we’ll r

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:  I think the really interesting question is why it is that my friends in the other party have made the idea of preventing these people from getting health care their holy grail, their number one priority. The one unifying principle in the Republican Party at the moment is making sure that 30 million people don't have healt

QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. You have said that core al Qaeda has been decimated, that its leaders are on the run. Now that we’ve seen this terror threat that has resulted in embassies closed throughout the Arab world, much of Africa, do you still believe that al Qaeda has been decimated? And if I can ask in the interest of transparency, c

President Obama holds a news conference and takes questions about Edward Snowden, the NSA, terrorism, Benghazi, Obamacare and more. A transcript is available here.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: There is no doubt that in implementing the Affordable Care Act -- a program of this significance -- there are going to be some glitches. No doubt about it. There are going to be things where we say, you know what? We should have thought of that earlier, or this would work a little bit better or this needs an adjustment.

ED HENRY: On September 11th, we'll have the first anniversary of the Benghazi. You said on September 12th, make no mistake, we'll bring to justice the killers who attacked our people. 11 months later, where are they, sir? PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I also said we'd get bin Laden and I didn't get him in 11 months. So we have informed, I think, the p

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I don't have a bad personal relationship with Putin. When we have conversations, they're candid, they're blunt, oftentimes they're constructive. I know the press likes to focus on body language and he's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom.

REP. PETER KING (R-NY): This is a terrible failure of leadership. This is the NSA version of the apology talk -- of the Obama apology talk. This is a successful program. The NSA program is successful. And yet, the president is allowing Edward Snowden, a traitor, to pull the puppet strings. This man is a traitor to our country. He's been indicted

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: No, I don't think Mr. Snowden was a patriot. As I said in my opening remarks, I called for a thorough review of our surveillance operations before Mr. Snowden made these leaks. My preference -- and I think the American people's preference -- would have been for a lawful, orderly examination of these laws, a thoughtful fact-b

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Good afternoon, everybody. Please have a seat. Over the past few weeks I've been talking about what I believe should be our number one priority of the country, building a better bargain for the middle class and for Americans who want to work their way into the middle class. And at the same time I'm focused on my number on

Ron Paul discusses immigration, NSA spying, Joe Scarborough, Rand Paul, investing, and the Federal Reserve on Laura Ingraham's radio program.

Judge Andrew Napolitano, A.B. Stoddard, and Charles Krauthammer discuss the latest revelations about the surveillance state.

LAURA INGRAHAM: And last, but not least, there was Benghazi. Four dead Americans on her watch, yet the Secretary of State could not be bothered to be interviewed by the Accountability Review Board. And why was Ambassador Susan Rice sent out to tell that tall tale regarding the nonexistent protests of the video? Why didn't Mrs. Clinton herself m

MSNBC: Republicans stoked tea party fury about the health care bill four years ago, but they're getting earfuls at town halls this summer from conservative constituents demanding to know why they've failed to repeal the law. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell discusses with MSNBC's Alex Wagner and Steve Kornacki.

Ezra Klein discusses efforts at reducing nuclear stockpiles in Russia and the United States with Joe Cirincione.
