The Journal Editorial Report

A transcript of the weekend's program:
Netanyahu wins, Republicans contest the defense budget, and Democrats try to shut up global-warming skeptics. Tune in this weekend for more: FOX News Channel, Saturday 2 p.m. and Sunday 3 p.m. ET.

The Journal Editorial Report Podcast.

About Us
We speak for free markets and free people, the principles, if you will, marked in the watershed year of 1776 by Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." So over the past century and into the next, the Journal stands for free trade and sound money; against confiscatory taxation and the ukases of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.
