View Full Version : ABC Good Morning America Interview at 7:00 this morning
Does anyone have a link to watch this live online?
The TV's in the bedroom and I want my husband to sleep as long as possible so I can stay glued to my computer all morning and shirk my 'household duties' :)

My listings say Good Morning America starts at 8, not 7...did they give us the wrong time?
It's 7:00 ET where I live - in Charlottesville, VA.

I'm in the Central time zone and our local channel doesn't start the Good Morning America broadcast until 8.
So I will miss the interview. :(
Is there any possibility you guys can do a "play by play" and let us know how it goes?

Weird, I live in southeast Michigan, in the eastern time zone, but it doesn't air until 8...
It looks like it's on at 8:00 here, also -- sorry.

I think it's a replay for each time zone. It's only an hour long show on the weekends.

it finished here in california awhile ago. It was pretty short of a segment, maybe three minutes. They asked how he was able to raise the money and get the support he has had recently. They asked him about his plan to get rid of irs and such and of course about Iraq. It was a good interview but he stuttured very noticeably at one time

He did great. Pretty straight-forward interview outside at Dulles Airport.
The reporter asked one laundry-list question including eliminating Dept of Ed, Social Security, IRS, and something else (I forget). Dr. Paul focused on the IRS and cutting spending, primarily overseas, but forgot to clarify that he doesn't want to abolish Social Security. It's very difficult to deal with those multi-part questions.

Let me guess: he looked shocked and awed and said "I have no clue, I'm surprised as hell!" If so, man he should stop doing that.

I've never NOT heard him say how shocked he is that he has so much support. Which was quaint and obviously true for a while, but I think saying it now is just a bad PR move.

The word was trajectory, I think.
Also, Bill noticed that the good Doctor got the word EMPIRE in a few times during this interview.
Dr. Paul didn't correct the guy on the "end Social Security," and while I agree that he needs to get the info out there on his actual position, I don't think it's a complete negative to have let that go by without fleshing the details.
After all, I myself am in the older age brackets and I realize SS is toast, that there will be no "benefits" for me.
It was just a quick interview, but overall a good one.
Anyone know Saturday AM viewership for this show?

This social security thing is how they killed Tsongas' candidacy by twisting and misrepresenting it. We need to figure out how to combat that because it's going to start coming up over and over again.

And I totally do not understand why anyone has said this was not a good interview. And what's with the comments about him stuttering? One little word. Big deal. He did a great job. The only possible thing he could have improved on was reiterating that he did not plan on cutting Social Security for all those depending upon it. But, he did say that the best place to cut was on our empire building.
It was a good interview. He did a great job, in my opinion.

He will get his opportunity to explain his program in more detail. The MSM is starting to notice him now and when the actual numbers come out and he is, once again, the top candidate amongst the military, and the number of new donors is apparent, etc... He will get even MORE MSM. Also, a debate is coming up and I'm willing to be that more than one of the other candidates will be willing to stick his neck out there for the good Dr. to surgically repair and ask challenge him on Social Security and some other issues. I see nothing but good coming up. WE don't have to block for him. His message speaks for itself and he does a damn fine job expanding on it when given the opportunity.

I dunno how big of a deal the social security thing is for all demographics. I'm 27 and I'm pretty sure most people in my age group are well aware that the thing is a sinking ship that we ain't gonna get to feast on before it's gone. The retired people will of course continue to get it, so the problem, I suppose is with the baby boomers... what do they think about it?

I'm a "boomer" technically. I turn 46 next month, so I'm at the end of the baby boom generation, and I got to tell you. I don't expect to ever see a return on my money unless RP can right the ship.

I'm on the tail end of the baby boomers. Well, I think it's kind of scary, but it's not like someone could live on Social Security anyway. More than anything, it ticks me off that they stole all the money they forced me to pay into this socialist system. But, that's just what they did. Time to move on. I'd much rather be free than to lose our country because of some piddling social security payment.

I must respectfully disagree. If you think the corrupt MSM will EVER give him a fair shot, you're living in a fantasy land.

FWIW, I'm 46. I do not believe the ship will be afloat when I reach retirement age and am conducting my financial affairs with that approach.
I think those 55 and below are savvy to the raw deal that SS represents.
I hope those 60 and below are savvy to it.

10-06-2007, 09:33 AM
This baby boomer thinks I should get the money back I've paid into it. Everything I hear Ron Paul say about it tells me he is in agreement. I was made a promise and Ron Paul is willing to honor that promise. If it means Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan have to do without the presence of United States troops to pay for it, too bad. :)
MsDoodahs
10-06-2007, 09:39 AM
I think the point was that many of us understand and recognize that the SS system is doomed to fail.
If I understand Dr. Paul correctly, younger people (and I'm not sure where the line would be drawn) should have the option of getting out of the system.
Given the choice, I'd exit the system.

They were off camera, no doubt. They don't stand over his shoulder when he's in studio doing an interview.
Am I the only one who saw a tired, completely non-presidential looking old man? The age is really showing on that guy. In some vids I see a very animated Ron Paul, but here he looked lethargic, especially with that "What? You gotta speak up son?" thing....

I think you are very wrong. He was more relaxed in this interview than he has been lately. That is a good thing. He handled himself very well. So what if he couldn't catch one of the questions. The interview was outside of an airport for God's sake. There is all kinds of noise.

The thing that really gets me angry is that I missed him by one day. I was supposed to have a layover there this morning, but my flight got bumped up by a day.
Granted, i saw Kinky Friedman, but meeting RP would have been awesome.

Yah, airports get pretty loud. Plus, I'm sure he was still a little groggy so early in the morning. This man is healthy and he has been using his energy to add to ours. I don't worry too much if he seems a lil tired once in awhile, I doubt I could keep up with his schedule and I am 25 years old!

I thought he did great. A little trouble answering the questions in the beginning, but the IRS question was nailed (without the IRS revenue, we'd take in as much as we did 7 years ago), and is what will stick with the viewers.

Yeah, the paying into thing is not fair for us 40 somethings. Luckily I don't pay into SS anymore (teachers retirement fund instead) but do pay into medicare.
Dr wants young people to OPT OUT of paying SS and into other private retirement funds. He has never said he'd end SS or Medicare and probably won't except to end the paying IN by young people up to a certain age. He has always said that once we end the crazy spending overseas, we can fund all the entitlement programs we have at the levels they are now. No cutting welfare programs: only wasteful overseas foreign aid and military spending.
If he had more than 2 seconds to speak, he could go into more detail and people wouldn't freak out so bad.

Dude that was an EXCELLENT interview! What was wrong with that? The Social Security comment was the only possible negative in that he didn't explain he doesn't want to do away with it but overall the interview was great! I LOVE how they showed clips of the Dr gladhanding with the old folks - great juxtaposition with the assertion that his support is all internet.
For a newbie to Ron Paul, that was a terrific intro.

It was as good an interview as it could be at 6 AM where Dr. Paul was. In short interviews like that, it's all about planting seeds in people's head and encouraging them to look more into the candidate. He nailed the IRS question and got to mention that his support is growing by leaps and bounds. Plus, the military donations is a big positive. He probably reached a new audience this morning, and hopefully it translates into more money and votes.

Indeed he did. My meetup group hit a huge fair in our town today. Talked to over 1000+ people, distributed over 600 slimjims.
Over and Over people were saying, "Oh Yeah! I saw him on t.v. this morning, I like him." This was very different than all the other events where we almost never got that type of reaction. We are breaking through, BIGTIME.

A few months ago, we were all too excited whenever Ron Paul was on TV to criticize him. Now that he's everywhere, it seems like a few supporters are watching his every word and move in debates and interviews, trying to find something to criticize. What's up with that? There are still a lot of people who don't know who he is, and might have looked him up after this interview. It's like when the Star Wars Prequels came out, many of the hardcore fans on message boards complained on how horrible they were, yet still camped out for hours to see them again and again. The casual fans, however, thought they were great. It seems like with anything, the biggest fans are the biggest critics.
So just relax everybody.

Uh, I agree with everything you said but this paragraph. The prequels sucked and everyone knows that - the critics, the fans of the older films, even George Lucas himself. The only casual fans who thought they were pretty good were under the age of thirteen. This wasn't a case of the fans being picky. The dumb plot, the dumb characters ("Mesa Jar Jar!"), the poor acting. The fans camped out the *first night* of every release because they doggedly hoped that this time, the prequel wouldn't be silly. They were let down every time. Anyway.

I thought it was pretty good. I think Ron missed one opportunity - The interviewer said (something like) "You're going to get rid of Social Security, the Dept of Education, the warfare state, and the income tax. How do you pay for everything?" He should have said "You just answered your own question. We to get rid of Social Security, the Dept of Education, and the warfare state." :D
But, bless Ron, good job!

Are you sure we're talking about the same interview? :confused:
The ABC guy was sardonic, and even laughed in the background once when Dr. Paul was answering. It seems that we're back to the same old thing. It was a total contrast to the piece ABC did on Dr. Paul the other day.
Of course, I'll hope that Dr. Paul will receive a lot more better press, like the recent ABC and CNN pieces. But I admit, I'm disappointed in this one.

10-06-2007, 05:16 PM
Ya I think everyone is always a bit too critical. The biggest obstacle to Ron Paul isn't his mannerisms or the MSM anchors reactions, it's name recognition. So even a mediocre interview is 1000 times better than no interview. And that interview wasn't bad at all.

10-06-2007, 05:21 PM
For those of you that will put Dr. Paul down for being too old. --- Ronald Reagan was 70 years old when he came to office, so thats a 2 years difference from one of the greatest president's this country has ever had. He's obviously tired, and hes rightfully so hes been working very hard. I also can damn well tell you i wouldnt be looking that good at 7 in the morning, and im 19 years old haha.
