Ron Paul to CO-HOST CNBC's Squawk Box Tuesday!

[haaaylee]

"Far from fading away like the establishment expected, Congressman Paul's message of freedom, peace, and prosperity continues to garner unprecedented coverage.

After a tremendous string of media hits to start December, Ron Paul's biggest television appearance yet will come this Tuesday, December 15, as he co-hosts CNBC's Squawk Box from 8-9am eastern!

It is incredible for a member of Congress not in his party's leadership to be receiving the amount of attention Ron Paul has seen in recent months. Our movement is truly making great progress.

Thank you for continuing to follow Dr. Paul's media appearances. You can be sure the producers take notice of the increased viewerships their shows receive when they interview Congressman Paul.

Tune in to CNBC's Squawk Box this Tuesday from 8-9am eastern and support Ron Paul's message of economic freedom!"

[nbruno322]

This is fantastic!!

[shenlu54]

Will they give him softball questions or hardball questions this time? Back to the 1988,things were not good.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Well he took the offer, great... I just hope his staff get's him in a decent suit that fits.

[haaaylee]

as co-host i would assume he'll be asking the questions, not answering them - no? do we know who the guests will be?

[Chase]

Amazing!

Wow, I just got the email from CFL about this and in shock came here!

[jclay2]

Awesome, too bad I will be enjoying the snow of the wasatch and will have to miss it.

[ClayTrainor]

Woohoo!!!! :d

[emazur]

Is this the show where the host was saying to RP that they'd like to have him on for a couple hours some day, or was that another show?

[HOLLYWOOD]

YES... with that CNBC knucklehead Joe Kernen. At least he's respectful... I can only hope they have Rick Santelli chime in, but my Gary Immelt Obama Pundit, will have a sandbag waiting for Ron, called Steve Liesman (FED SHILL).

HA HA HA HA!

You don't know Ron very well ;):p

[Matt Collins]

as co-host i would assume he'll be asking the questions, not answering them - no? do we know who the guests will be?yeah this strikes me as weird. Do they normally have guest hosts?

I find it hard trying to picture Ron hosting a high paced fast moving TV show. But then again I haven't really watched TV in like 2 years so I'm not familier with the format.

[Bruno]

This has the potential to go very well and for a wider audience to see Ron Paul in a different light. :)

[Bman]

Well he took the offer, great... I just hope his staff get's him in a decent suit that fits.

Those of us raised around steel and farms in Pennsylvania care little for suits.:p

[Uriel999]

Well he took the offer, great... I just hope his staff get's him in a decent suit that fits.

lol, look we can dream...I mean come on, it's one thing to dream about ron paul in the white house. That is plausible, but ron paul in a nice suit that fits that is just insane!

[devil21]

Cage match baby! I want Rick Santelli on too.

[fatjohn]

as co-host i would assume he'll be asking the questions, not answering them - no? do we know who the guests will be?

Mitt romney will be guest, talking about the economy along with Warren Buffet.

Or Becky Quick, she's mine.

[TXcarlosTX]

this show needs to be the highest rating show for that network. thats how ron can be put on again

[lester1/2jr]

I think warren buffet has dibs on sister becky quick

[sofia]

december 15th is also Bill of Rights Day....how fitting!!!!


(and my birthday too!)

[WorldonaString]

I'm stoked! Our emails paid off afterall.

[tajitj]

That is so freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Squawk Box is my favorite show. This is so great, ABOUT DAMN TIME people realize Ron Paul is a genious who speaks the truth!

[cheapseats]

yeah this strikes me as weird. Do they normally have guest hosts?


Weird enough to be a Trojan Horse.

Do guest hosts go on to be presidents?

Not all publicity is Good, contrary to media whore wisdom.

I hope it's like this:

Yes, I have seen both Marc Faber and Jim Rogers as guest hosts on CNBC.

[HOLLYWOOD]

HA HA HA HA!

You don't know Ron very well ;):p

Yeah in know... I too, can less what others think, but in MSM and the American Boobtube heaven of this country, Image is everything. Look @ Hillary, at least is smart enough to wear her special "Pantsuits" that cover the "DOUBLE-WIDE" she lugs around.

In the presence of TV cameras... always look sharp, not aloof. And when sitting, sit on the tail of your jacket. Don't give the media or any of the opponents any ammo to run amok with, no matter how trivial. We all know they do.

Remember That Asshat CNN Analyst, Jeff Toobin? Called RP, "the crazy uncle that lives in the attic" TWICE.

Next thing you know... the masses are parroting crap from these shill pundits.

[JK/SEA]

I hope Ron has an END THE FED t-shirt on.

[amonasro]

Well he took the offer, great... I just hope his staff get's him in a decent suit that fits.

+1

He needs to go down about a size so the shoulders fit and he doesn't get that gap around the neck. A spread collar shirt and pocket square would also look nice.

[FSP-Rebel]

I say an Armani suit is in order for this appearance.:cool:

[lester1/2jr]

he needs to do some reps in the gym so he fills out the shoulders he has now

[RideTheDirt]

I don't give a damn what he's wearing, I'm excited!

[SelfTaught]

he needs to do some reps in the gym so he fills out the shoulders he has now

That won't work. He's doing the show on Tuesday. That's 3 days. A massive injection of steroids and/or human growth hormone might work better. It might even make him more aggressive. It'd be funny to see him go berserk and start knocking people out left and right.

[cheapseats]

Stipulating that it is not my place to tell anyone what they SHOULD do, it seems to me that Ron Paul should make up his mind as to whether he will seek the Presidency.

If he DOES mean to run, he ought not to host TV shows.

If he does NOT mean to run, he ought to host as many of them as possible.

[Cowlesy]

Well, just for those who may not watch CNBC Squawkbox often, the guest host usually gets a 3-5 minute segment to talk about their pet issue, and the rest of the time they don't say too much other than an occasion interjection on a conversation, or asking one of the guests via satellite a question.

It's not going to be an hour forum on Ron Paul or anything.

It will be cool to see his view interjected in the discussion!

[Matt Collins]

I hope Ron has an END THE FED t-shirt on.

Should be awesome! I submitted this to Digg, at http://digg.com/business_finance/Ron_Paul_to_Co_Host_CNBC_s_Squawk_Box_Dec_15_8_9_A M_EST .

[Bruno]

Anyone know if this is viewable tomorrow live online?

[purplechoe]

bump, only a few hours from showtime...

[SimpleName]

This should be very cool. Will he be in studio? I suppose he would, but who ever knows. Only seems fitting that a "co-host" would be there. Nonetheless, I can't wait for it. Maybe he'll finally have time to actually fully explain his ideas and not have to squeeze a whole philosopher into a 4 minute interview. Hope for the best.

[andy mcdee]

Anyone know of any live streams?

[dr. hfn]

Will Ron Paul get his own show?!!?!?

[WorldonaString]

Cant wait for showtime!

[Working Poor]

Well he took the offer, great... I just hope his staff get's him in a decent suit that fits.


and do something with his eye brows....

[HOLLYWOOD]

Wow... RP didn't look too chippery in that last CNBC action shot alone in the conference room.

Maybe he and Judd Gregg had it out in the hallways

[No1ButPaul08]

Instead of a producer prices countdown they should have a Ron Paul countdown.

[HOLLYWOOD]

This is Excellent... RP giving a very smooth delivery.

[Thrashertm]

anyone know where i can get a live stream of CNBS?

[GunnyFreedom]

Looks like they are bringing out the big guns for the Audit The Fed debate, and the Fed Powers debate...

[GunnyFreedom]

"unintended consequences" like what? examples please? Auditing the Fed will create hyperinflation? How, please be specific.

[purplechoe]

Mishkin: Fed is already transparent

[HOLLYWOOD]

Mishkin is a FED TOOL... and he proves his allegiance. An Audit will reveal the truth

[GunnyFreedom]

If people know what institutions take Fed loans, then they won't want to seek those loans.

--- and? this is supposed to be a bad thing?

This turkey things that everything is peaches and cream, sunshine and light WRT all the central banks in the world right now. That's why our (global) economy is so healthy right now, right? :rolleyes:

[GunnyFreedom]

Pretty good last word from Dr Paul with Mishkin. It's all about the special interests weilding too much power and screwing the little guy.

PS -- am I the only one deeply deeply disturbed by the OnStar commercials that "cut power" to a given vehicle when the cops are chasing it? What happens in a tyrannical authoritarian state? Will they just cut power when a patriot is fleeing for his life in his own vehicle?

[purplechoe]

Well he took the offer, great... I just hope his staff get's him in a decent suit that fits.

Don't worry, he looks great!

[HOLLYWOOD]

Fredric Mishkin is just talking in circles... reminds of Ron Paul asking John McCain about the president's working gtoup.

Mishkin doesn't have a foot to stand on.

Okay, next round, LameDuck US Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH)... I wonder what kind of reward Gregg will get once out in the private sector in 2011. You betcha he has a sweet deal lined up after backing the FED.

[GunnyFreedom]

Mishkin knows inflation is coming, and knows Audit The Fed will pass -- he is trying to set people up to think that Audit The Fed will create the oncoming tsunami of inflation.

I am glad that they are reporting "alarming price inflation" right now. This current report really feeds into Dr Paul's presentation here. We have....what one guy who thinks there is no real inflation?

Wow, this is one heck of an argument between baldy-primrose (Steve) and this Rick guy who seems to agree with RP.

[RSLudlum]

Mishkin kept on trying to 'redefine' the issue and steer the debate into why the fed needs to protect banks; using the fear factor.

[purplechoe]

Santelli is going nuts! Ron is just smiling... :)

[HOLLYWOOD]

This is GREAT! Santelli... ripping into LIESman. Damn they cut Samtelli's mike off... BASTARDS!

[GunnyFreedom]

LOL @ RP's laugh. Host says: "When the cameras are off, Rick and Steve really like each other even less" RP has a genuine LOL because he expected the host to say something rather different.

No big surprise this Rick guy sounds like he agrees with RP. It was his 'famous rant' that set off the 2009 Mainstream Tea Parties.

[TheState]

Some of Santelli's best lines:

"You should have a conversation with that guy sitting next to you (Paul)"

on paying back TARP

"I lend you $50 then you pay me back $0.50"

hah

[GunnyFreedom]

UH OH, this is the big one (IMHO)

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I'm busting up over the Star Trek fight music playing while Liesman and Santelli are arguing. :D

[purplechoe]

Judd Gregg and Ron Paul, should be interesting...

[GunnyFreedom]

"An audit of the Fed makes sense -- except for monetary policy and markets policy" ROFLOL what's freakin left?

[zach]

Ron's face was priceless during that little ego battle going on there..

The music made it even better.

[roho76]

PS -- am I the only one deeply deeply disturbed by the OnStar commercials that "cut power" to a given vehicle when the cops are chasing it? What happens in a tyrannical authoritarian state? Will they just cut power when a patriot is fleeing for his life in his own vehicle?

Don't buy a GM. There the only ones with OnStar. Personally I don't know why anybody would buy a GM period. That fucking company still owes me $3,000 from 2005. Guess I'll never see that money. Sorry but I make sure that I let everyone know my distaste for this company. And considering all they have been through they still run their projects like shit and over budget. I have friends that still work for them and they say it's ridiculous over there. Sorry to go off topic, it's just that this company pisses me off so bad. IMHO everybody should have taken those clunker vouchers and bought a Ford, or one of the Japanese cars and made GM and Chrysler still go out of business.

*EDIT* Oh yeah, I can't wait to see this video. Can someone upload the Tube ASAP for my no cable TV having ass. Thanks

[GunnyFreedom]

HUZZAH Dr Paul "that's a gross distortion!"

[No1ButPaul08]

Ron's Bernanke was classic

[purplechoe]

Gregg is reading Ron's book?

[No1ButPaul08]

Judd Gregg is a fucking schmuck.

[GunnyFreedom]

This Judd character is a real tool. GO RP! "You are misleading the people" "why are you so frightened about transparency." "Cow-tow to the big bankers" "20% unemployment."

[GunnyFreedom]

RP is learning how to lead/talk over Judd.

[GunnyFreedom]

the collapse of the dollar is 'hyperbole' ???

This Judd character is is trying to smear Dr Paul as a "kooky gold-bug"

[zach]

oh it is... LOL

[No1ButPaul08]

the look on Gregg's face when Ron starting talking about competitive currencies was priceless. He's clueless.

[sluggo]

Judd Gregg is an asshole.

C'mon, NH, vote this stooge out.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Yeah... I see a Very Sweetheart Deal for Judd Gregg down the road... I'll bet anyone this BOZO lines up big money.

Yeah Gregg.. ELIMINATE THE FED!

[purplechoe]

Ron's fired up, I LOVE IT!

[Bruno]

can't wait for the tubes of this!

[GunnyFreedom]

RP handled the end of that very well! Around the middle it started to look like it was going down hill, but at the end RP really nailed it.

[sluggo]

double post

[angelatc]

Judd Gregg is an asshole.

C'mon, NH, vote this stooge out.

Gregg is already leaving. He is retiring in 2011.

At one point, Obama tapped him for a cabinet position, but Gregg ended up declining.

[MsDoodahs]

I did not watch the Gregg segment.

I developed an INTENSE hatred for Gregg a few weeks back when he was talking about auditing the fed and was HORRIFICALLY RUDE with respect to Dr. Paul, so ... I didn't want to see how this went down.

Will the tube make me cry ... or make me smile?

[GunnyFreedom]

the look on Gregg's face when Ron starting talking about competitive currencies was priceless. He's clueless.

uhhhh derrrr... he's a "republican" so Judd had no choice but to agree that 'competition' was a good thing. LOL... RP used the 'love of empty rhetoric' against this lying crackhead.

[GunnyFreedom]

I did not watch the Gregg segment.

ANGRY - but RP came out ahead by the end.

Well Gregg distorted a bunch of stuff at the beginning but Ron destroyed him at the end. I think you'll be pretty happy with RP's performance but go away thinking Gregg is more of a schmuck than you already thought. The guy is completely bought by Big Banking.

[nobody's_hero]

Portions of it have been posted to the Squawk Box homepage. It's almost over now, but I'd like to see the whole thing (maybe there was a link for a live stream somewhere?).

I recommend going to cnbc's website and watching what they have there so they know that economic freedom is popular.

[GunnyFreedom]

RP getting the big last word up next after the commercial.

[sluggo]

Gregg is already leaving. He is retiring in 2011.

Maybe off to a job with Goldman or Citi?

he's a Democrat

[GunnyFreedom]

he's a Democrat

I don't think so, no.

I love that CNBC put this show together.... Ron Paul really shines when he gets a chance to talk past the 60-second soundbite limit.

[GunnyFreedom]

So HR 1207 won't let Congress to be able to control monetary policy? He seem pretty stuck there.

"control monetary policy" no... give the people a good reason to take up the torches and pitchforks...yes! One could say that this is indirectly a kind of 'control' but... not really the same thing.

[RSLudlum]

Yeah... I see a Very Sweetheart Deal for Judd Gregg down the road... I'll bet anyone this BOZO lines up big money.

Yeah Gregg.. ELIMINATE THE FED!

The Right Way to do Health Care Reform
Nov 30, 2009
WASHINGTON – Throughout the course of the health care debate, Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH), a senior member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, has been an outspoken voice on the need to provide meaningful health insurance for all Americans in a fiscally responsible way. Working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, he has focused on expanding cover...

Big surprise there. I'd guess big pharma is up there somewhere too.


ETA -- I just clicked on the link and looked...ROFLOL! Not as if that 'guess' was that much of a stretch tho....

I don't think so, no.

you're correct, I could have sworn it sad D next to his name, but than again, what's the difference?

That stuff should have been scrolling across the screen as he was talking.

[parocks]

RP did very well against Gregg, not as good against Mishkin.

But, he should be better than he is by now - at least on audit the fed. He should have 10-100 sentences all rehearsed, sentences that sound great, sentences that make people say "Ron Paul is definitely right on this."

Nobody should throw RP a curveball on audit the fed, he should have a response. CNBC Squawk Box isn't some debate where people are searching for truth. You got 2 sides throwing out sound bites. Ron Paul should have catchy soundbites as strong as his ideas.

He seems to try to explain his ideas, to prove something complicated. The last thing he just said came across that way. That he knew he had 15 seconds to explain something that would take at least 5 minutes to explain, so he tried to talk a little faster to get some subsidiary point in.

He should've had one strong statement for the close.
"What's gonna happen, Ron Paul?"
"The socialist democrats are trying to pass legislation, regulations that will make the economy worse and prolong the recession like they did in the 1930's. True Conservatives like myself are trying to stop them. Rand Paul money bomb tomorrow."

I think he needs to learn the needs of the media in terms of time. They often need very short bursts of sweet content. He should have those short bursts of sweet content ready to go.

[GunnyFreedom]

That stuff should have been scrolling across the screen as he was talking.

Gregg supports the idea of a "healthcare mandate." Gregg's #1 supporter is Blue Cross Blue Shield. Who didn't see that one coming? :rolleyes:

Astute observation. I would add: RP has a little more experience debating congress critters than he does bankster academicians.

[Arklatex]

I missed it, waiting for the tube.

They mentioned Rand and Ron on NPR this morning. Said Greyson was the official republican candidate in Kentucky but a surprising newcomer is giving him a run for this money.

[Kevin_Kennedy]

I personally don't feel it was that good of an appearance all around. I feel his first debate went better than the second, though neither was any kind of "win" for Dr. Paul. Especially in the second I feel he got to defensive, he kept interrupting, and it seemed like he tried to divorce himself from the idea of ending the Fed. Sure it's a different topic, but it just looked too defensive and that he was trying to avoid that label. All in all I don't think he convinced anyone, other than those of us who already agree, that an audit is a good thing. I would have tried to make the point that yes I want to ultimately end the Fed, that this really isn't about ending the Fed but auditing it, but that I do believe a thorough audit will ultimately help the argument of ending the Fed. But I would have pointed out that that's not a bad thing. If we find something that's that terrible in this audit, wouldn't we rather know than not know? Doesn't it make us stronger to know what's going on rather than being lied to?

[TheState]

Don't forget to send CNBC a thank you message about hosting Ron. I'm sure our messages when the idea was introduced a couple weeks ago played a role. His "fervent" supporters were mentioned in the broadcast.

I would say that Gregg was cutting off and interrupting Paul FAR MORE than Paul was interrupting him. Paul has to learn how to lead in and talk over people or he won't get to speak at all. It's sick, it's sad, but it's the nature of pundit television nowadays. I think RP did a better job of asserting himself against Gregg than I have ever seen him do before. Sure, it involved stepping up and talking over Gregg on several occasions -- but sadly and unfortunately, that's just how pundit TV works. If you don't do that, then you don't talk. at all. you just sit there and get smeared with a bunch of false BS.

I agree with that for the most part. And I'd rather he interrupt than be pushed around. But I guess my complaint is how he interrupted today. It was essentially the "Nuh uh" argument, and simply denial. It just came off as being evasive. To use Peter Schiff as a contrast, you see Schiff interrupt people all the time, but it's never simply to deny deny deny. He makes direct points. I think the problem is that Dr. Paul got angry and flustered early on in that discussion with Senator Gregg, he did pick it up in the end but it was too late by then I felt.

[HOLLYWOOD]

That stuff should have been scrolling across the screen as he was talking.

Yes... just like CNBC does to all these analysts they have on the show that speaks about certain stocks... they should do the same for the Politicians.

Then you wouldn't see PAID HACKS like Judd Gregg and Barney Fwank yakkin up a storm when their Master's names are posted on the banners below their image. Like when they show if it's owned by the; person, corporation, relatives, retirement/savings accounts, associated parties.

That's one way to show the Conspiring/Racketeering/Collusion/Briberies of these Politicians from around the country.

CNBC needs to institute this ASAP.

Yes, his supporters were mentioned. I think he said something along the lines of "they don't speak for me" in addition to his happiness to have them.

[parocks]

There was a part where Paul and Gregg were going at it and Gregg said something along the lines of "what would happen when some liberal democrat threatens to audit the fed if the fed raises interest rates?"

Things Paul could say -

Why is the Fed afraid of being audited?
What does the Fed have to hide?
Is the Fed trying to hide something?
If the Fed had nothing to hide, the threat of an audit would be pointless.
The Fed should not be operating in secret.

Gregg mentioned the connection between audit the fed and end the fed.

Things Paul could say -

Well, certainly if the people saw the results of the audit, saw all the things the fed is doing that the people do not want, they would be pissed, and would want to end the Fed. Of course, you know that. If the fed is doing nothing wrong, the people won't be pissed, and the people won't want to end the fed.

Something Paul could say in general about bankers.

Aren't bankers supposed to be good with money? Why did we have to give them taxpayer money? "Hey, guys, you suck at banking. Here's more money."

We took over GM. They aren't the experts at money, they're car experts.
There's nothing in the Constitution about owning a car company. But the Constitution does give the power to coin money to the US Goverment. Why does all of our money say "Federal Reserve Note" on it?

[HOLLYWOOD]

Yes, this is an epic idea.

Here's the Contact page for Squawk Box. If enough of us send them this idea, then it will curb the Silver-Tongue Devils from Parroting what their Campaign donators want them to say on CNBC.

Yes... a finale of a quickie on Congress legislation to regulate the banks/Wall st and the more harm it will cost, then help.

Thanks Judd Gregg for introducing Ron's book for about 10 minutes. A mindless MSM viewer would automatically side with Dr. Paul. He's being talked over by a weasel-looking with an (R) next to his name. This is good stuff to show people how anti-politician Ron is.

[silverhandorder]

Argh this pissed me off. Ron was great. If that discussion would have continued Gregg would have looked like the broken record.

I wanted nothing more than for RP to call out Gregg for engaging in petty squabbling instead of logical discussion. RP doesn't do well in the "on-the-spot politician squabbling" made for consumption by the dullards. Overall he did well though, considering he wasn't in friendly territory. CNBC obviously didn't make any attempts to bring on anyone that would reinforce RP's views.

[Trigonx]

Did anyone notice in the first interview, they let that guy talk and talk and talk forever. He was basically repeating the same points over and over again with no one stopping him. I seriously had to take off my headphones and wait for his mouth to stop moving because i heard his point 3-4 times before i stopped listening

Santelli is funny. He yells at liesman, and I agree with his anger.

Reminds me of Ron when he was on downey's show back in the 80s... he needs some of that anger when he is up against douches like gregg.

[RevolutionSD]

Oh man, well RP didn't do so well in the Gregg debate, but my GOD, Gregg is completely out of touch with both reality and what most people want! Oh the HORROR that RP wants to end the fed! How can Gregg in his right mind defend the fed for "keeping the dollar stable"??? It's just blatant propaganda and I hope people can see through this nonsense even though RP got angry and defensive during the debate.

I think that any normal CNBC viewer will look at RP with more respect then Gregg. Not to mention, I love that Gregg tried to use RP's book against him.

By far, my favorite segment was during the PPI segment Rick Santelli tells Steve Liesman "there's a guy up there sitting next to you you out to have a conversation with!" Ron Paul was just sittin back listening to Santalli and Liesman go back and forth.

Wow, Santelli just shit all over Liesman in that segment. Thanks for posting.

Lots of screaming on CNBC today.:D:D:D

Reminded me of this:
YouTube - Ron Paul on Trash TV, 1988 - Pt. 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGGDVm4mmTo&feature=player_embedded)

RP did very well against Gregg, not as good against Mishkin.

But, he should be better than he is by now - at least on audit the fed. He should have 10-100 sentences all rehearsed, sentences that sound great, sentences that make people say "Ron Paul is definitely right on this."

Nobody should throw RP a curveball on audit the fed, he should have a response. CNBC Squawk Box isn't some debate where people are searching for truth. You got 2 sides throwing out sound bites. Ron Paul should have catchy soundbites as strong as his ideas.

He seems to try to explain his ideas, to prove something complicated. The last thing he just said came across that way. That he knew he had 15 seconds to explain something that would take at least 5 minutes to explain, so he tried to talk a little faster to get some subsidiary point in.

He should've had one strong statement for the close.
"What's gonna happen, Ron Paul?"
"The socialist democrats are trying to pass legislation, regulations that will make the economy worse and prolong the recession like they did in the 1930's. True Conservatives like myself are trying to stop them. Rand Paul money bomb tomorrow."

I think he needs to learn the needs of the media in terms of time. They often need very short bursts of sweet content. He should have those short bursts of sweet content ready to go.
That is not Ron's personality.
