I have contacted Time Warner cable 5 times now about having FBN added to my regular line up. If I have to I'll contact them 20 more times. I want to watch Stossel and the Judge.

[KCIndy]

Thanks for the heads-up!

We need to push the Judge's popularity and ratings up so high that the network will move him into O'Reilly's slot. :D

[dr. hfn]

EPIC start

[No1ButPaul08]

oh wow good thing i just dropped my non FBN carrying cable company for FBN HD carrying Dish Network.

Freedom Watch FTW

[Bergie Bergeron]

DeMint and Bachman, so far.

Considering people lump them together as 'tea party' but as far as I know some may never have met eachother, this should be interesting.

I talked to the producer of this show yesterday and he says it is vitally important that anyone you know with Fox Business that they DVR all the shows, and that yes DVR'd shows count in the ratings. If you don't have Fox Business he said to watch it on the fox website and not on youtube.

[libertybrewcity]

wow, demint's on the show? i feel like that is rare. pretty soon we will have a SENATOR rand on freedom watch!

[tangent4ronpaul]

Just sent to 238 ppl.

[JohnEngland]

HOLY COW! The show is debuting with Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann and Dick Armey?

This has to be the best launch ever! If only it were on Fox News... But never mind, Fox Business will be picking up lots of viewers after this!

Still can't believe that lineup. It's like all my favourite politicians have come together for a party with the Judge!

[low preference guy]

i can feel great delight just by thinking about how the statist media will go apoplectic about the launch of freedom watch.

[Bergie Bergeron]

Just sent to 238 ppl.

Why lie? :(

[TheState]

I always wondered if DVR'd shows counted toward ratings. Now I know! (sets DVR to record every episode of Stossel and Freedom Watch)

EDIT - Just invited 50 more and posted a blog about it on the YAL website. Thanks for the info!

[MRoCkEd]

I want to know why Fox and FBN aren't advertising the hell out of this?!

[Bergie Bergeron]

Because it's only Tuesday?

[sofia]

no peter schiff???

Do you see Peter's name?

For those like me who don't have it on our regular cable program make sure that you watch it on http://freedomwatchonfox.com or http://www.foxnews.com/freedomwatch

Watching it on the above links or FBN will help the judge while watching it on youtube doesn't count towards his viewer pool.

[Bergie Bergeron]

Great advice.

[Bergie Bergeron]

Fucking Facebook won't let me make an ad for this, no matter what the wording is. I click on continue and it does NOTHING.

[Fredom101]

This is insulting. Sarah Palin has nothing to do with freedom.

Jesus this is going to be awkward

[lx43]

Its good that Sarah is coming on the show. 1 She will bring her followers to watch and expose them to liberty message. 2. the judge has an opportunity to convert her more to liberty message. 3. He gets to question her on issues that are they don't agree on which is good for ratings to have a little drama. ;)

[MRoCkEd]

The show was taped today. Here's a few updates you might like from FreedomWatch's Producer:


Is at the Tea Party summit, just met Rand Paul and his wife, the gang is all here and Governor Palin is standing by. THIS ... IS FREEDOM WATCH!


Victory! We just finished and it went great! They're running commercials for it on Fox News and FBN all week. The times for it are Saturday at 10AM and 8PM and Sunday 7PM and 11PM.

[Cowlesy]

If you have a DVR, make sure to DVR the Series. I am pretty sure that the # of people DVR'in the show is monitored.

[Bergie Bergeron]

YouTube - VICTORY! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np4-4OcZeEs&feature=related)

[MRoCkEd]

FBN just played a clip from the show. Rand and Ron were in Studio with the Judge and Palin was on the screen.

Judge said the show will highlight differences between Ron and Sarah, and then bring in Rand to talk about their agreements.

Then they will have others like Dick Armey and Jim DeMint to talk about practical solutions for the Tea Party.

At some point, Gov. Ed Rendell will come on to bash the tea party. LOL

Sounds good! What about Bachmann? I guess that's the "Then they will have others" bit.

All in all, sounds like it's going to be an epic show. All the major players of the Tea Party factions are going to be there!

Just a shame that Fox Business' audience isn't so big yet. Someone be sure to YouTube it!!!!!

[JohnEngland]

Oh cool, don't know how long it'll be there, but there's the short trailer for Freedom Watch on the Fox Business homepage, to the right:

well, I don't like the fracturing, but at least it sounds like they are making Rand the fusion candidate, which isn't wrong, really.

Ron Paul and Sarah Palin talk strategy? Hm. (trying not to laugh) how do you have strategy for a bottoms up group? RP is very aware of that issue.

Things each of them might say on Saturday:

Sarah Palin: "commonsense conservative" "we win, they lose" "ronald reagan" "you betcha"

Ron Paul: "federal reserve" "the constitution" "nation building" "shenanigans"

[nobody's_hero]

This is insulting. Sarah Palin has nothing to do with freedom.

They're gonna make her sit and talk with Ron and Rand until she understands freedom. Just like we have to make neocons sit and watch Freedom Watch until they stop trying to suppress freedom.

[Bergie Bergeron]

:)

[georgiaboy]

this kick's it!

Sarah Palin's inclusion is definitely to boost the ratings and provide some, uh, diversity. To the extent that the revolution can use her, I approve.

HBS, like that sig.

[tjeffersonsghost]

To the people saying eeew this person is coming or ewww that person is coming they dont stand for freedom let me just remind you WE EVEN ON THIS BOARD DON'T AGREE ON EVERYTHING!!!!!! You will never get someone to be exactly like Ron Paul. I even myself dont agree with Ron Paul on everything but I do on most things. We need to welcome the crowd with open arms and we all need to let our freedom ideas fly. We agree on much more than we disagree. We need a better way of communicating and this bashing on eachother is not helping.

[Bergie Bergeron]

Go Judge !

These thugs think the illegal aliens are the enemy. It's the corruption in government that is their enemy. They are sad victims of the false left-right paradigm.

[anaconda]

Maybe he can get Ed Norton on too


For why? Just curious.

[Bergie Bergeron]

4 hours.

[sailingaway]

Looking at the clip with Palin and Ron, I wonder if this is going to be an edited product like the reruns of the Fox presidential debates where they edit out any really telling arguments Ron makes that go against what Fox wants in a world view.

[low preference guy]

stream?

[torchbearer]

set for series record. i just called my parents, they are putting it on series record.

[Jeremy]

I'm turning it on exactly at 10 for the ratings.

[MRoCkEd]

Get in RPF chat to talk about it

[low preference guy]

this is bigger than the World Cup.

[angelatc]

I am sooo happy I upgraded my service. I'd be dying right now if I wasn't able to watch this.

I can't chat - I have to give the kids the computer since I'm taking over the TV. Say something snarky about Rendell for me!

[rprprs]

I am sooo happy I upgraded my service. I'd be dying right now if I wasn't able to watch this.

I HATE you!
(translation: I'm SOOO jealous.) ;)

[LibertarianfromGermany]

Does anyone have a stream?

[Hallamaat]

stream?

I couldn't find any.


Ugh. I hate the fact that I'm not in the US right now to watch this as it airs. :( And yes, I know... http://www.brambletonian.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/violin.gif

[MikeStanart]

Somebody get a tube up for those who don't have FBN!

[georgiaboy]

watching now - AMAZING

[georgiaboy]

Judge - "PALIN, PAUL, NOW!"

[georgiaboy]

pro-life - check
pro 2nd amendment - check

[Southron]

I wish Sirius would add FBN.

[georgiaboy]

[paraphrased]
Judge: "Should individual states be able to nullify federal laws that fall outside the fed's authority as limited by the constitution?"
Ron: [in a word'] "yes"

[georgiaboy]

national defense vs. national offense now.

[georgiaboy]

wow, even the commercials are mentioning Ron Paul -- Midas?

[georgiaboy]

Palin - "peace through strength"

Paul - "fight back when attacked"

[Ricky201]

I am so sad that I can't watch this right now. Stream doesn't work and I just found out my stupid cable doesn't have FBN. The ONE time I use the damn TV and it still doesn't pull through!

[georgiaboy]

[paraphrased]

Judge: "Should gov't be able to hack into anybody's email without a search warrant?"
Palin: "Absolutely not!"
Paul: "Agreed, and this means we need to repeal the Patriot Act! The Tea Party may not understand this yet, but this is what is needed"

[sailingaway]

Is it just me, or do other people think they are trying to make Ron look extreme with the questions phrased? "ALL" drugs at the federal level should be legal but that leaves the states to pass what laws they want, for example.

Also, on BP, the US isn't just a regulator but a landlord under a lease, and no landlord in the world with any brains lets a polluting industry use a lease without careful LANDLORD / TENANT requirements, having nothing to do with the regulation, per se, by the government. YOu might argue the states should be the landlord when it isn't in international water, but putting protections in regulations rather than leases is only because that is the road we went down.

Back to tv.

[georgiaboy]

this show is like a dream come true for the Ron Paul Revolution. Who would've thought it possible just a couple of years ago that Sat morning cable network would be hosting the leaders and giving voice to the issues that we actually need to discuss?!?!?

RAND ON NOW!!

[KCIndy]

Whoo-Hooo!

Now comes Rand Paul!

:)

[georgiaboy]

RAND -- "Gov. Palin, and now Ben Bernanke, agree and have said that the deficit is unsustainable"

[low preference guy]

thanks georgiaboy!

[KCIndy]

I am so sad that I can't watch this right now. Stream doesn't work and I just found out my stupid cable doesn't have FBN. The ONE time I use the damn TV and it still doesn't pull through!

As Cavuto says... if you don't get FBN... DEMAND IT!!

[georgiaboy]

Palin "Lamestream Media" -- chuckle

[georgiaboy]

Paul "I was pleasantly surprised when Gov. Palin [stuck her neck out against the party elite] and endorsed Rand. 5 years ago, I would've said it'll never happen. Now, things are changing, so I thought maybe."

[georgiaboy]

Judge Nap is on FIRE.

[georgiaboy]

Palin -- "generational theft"

Palin -- "I'm an independent, even though I have this label of social conservative on my forehead. I happen to find my home in the Republican party"


Judge --"I see a great deal of unity here. People sick of the overreach of the federal government"

[BamaFanNKy]

Here comes Ed!
http://blog.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking-news_impact/2009/02/large_rendell.JPG

[georgiaboy]

btw, Ron & Rand are both in studio with Judge -- cool.


Ed Rendell up next -- voice of the opposition.

[sailingaway]

OK now they are going to Rendell, (however you spell it) and I'm not interested. I'm leaving it on for the Judge's ratings, but see no reason I should watch that part, I'm already up to speed on the opposition.

I honestly think as a showcase for Ron it was a poor vehicle because they used him as an almost 'libertine' foil for Palin, but I'm sure he went along with it because Rand was presented as the fusion candidate. Still, it will leave GOP thinking 'he's to extreme' when he has absolute 'get from a to b' positions that look a whole lot like Rand's platform.

However, I'm still waiting for more info on that bailout senator thing, on Rand. That's shaken me a bit.

[georgiaboy]

Rendell "Tea Party movement, members are small in number, I could get 100,000 people to come and protest against dog abuse"

[KCIndy]

Rendell: "We need Balance..."

translation, "Let's just give up HALF our freedoms!"

:(

[georgiaboy]

Rendell "Not everyone who is angry calls themselves tea party"

[low preference guy]

I honestly think as a showcase for Ron it was a poor vehicle because they used him as an almost 'libertine' foil for Palin, but I'm sure he went along with it because Rand was presented as the fusion candidate. Still, it will leave GOP thinking 'he's to extreme' when he has absolute 'get from a to b' positions that look a whole lot like Rand's platform.

Ron Paul is a professor first, a politician second. In every instance where he had to choose between telling the truth and score political points, he chose the former.

The whole point of Freedom Watch is to expand the number of topics that are acceptable to discuss, and it can only happen if prestigious people show up and take unpopular positions.

[BamaFanNKy]

Actually, Judge is doing a good job showing that the Dems too can agree with the TP.

[georgiaboy]

Wow, Judge is shotgunning Rendell. Way to stay in control.

Judge: "I'm looking for areas where even you Ed have agreement with the tea party movement"

[KCIndy]

Ron Paul is a professor first, a politician second. In every instance where he had to choose between telling the truth and score political points, he chose the former...



Also, Ron is pretty much bulletproof in his district. Rand is going to have to phrase his responses a bit more carefully given that he's running for Senate, and in Kentucky.

[georgiaboy]

This show does everything to give legitimacy to Ron Paul and the voice of less government across the board. Even as a pol junkie, it's quite a lot to absorb, like drinking from a firehose.

[sailingaway]

sorry, did we agree not to post it?

[georgiaboy]

Now DeMint, Bachmann, and Armey

[georgiaboy]

DeMint -- "40% of tea party is independents and democrats. They want one thing -- less."

[georgiaboy]

Armey "in order to win in November, you must have the tea party support -- it's center where the democrats are going along the left sideline"

[georgiaboy]

Judge seems to define tea party as:
Pro life
Pro 10th amendment
Pro 2nd amendment
Anti Patriot Act
Anti drug laws
Reduced militarism abroad
Less federal regulation
less federal spending
more?

[georgiaboy]

Judge "tea party candidates winning"

DeMint "tea party is in the center of where america is right now"

[sailingaway]

Also, Ron is pretty much bulletproof in his district. Rand is going to have to phrase his responses a bit more carefully given that he's running for Senate, and in Kentucky.

I'm thinking of 2012

[georgiaboy]

Judge "why is message to look at constitution and abide by what's in it waking people up today?"

Bachmann "people have never seen government takeover of so many different parts of society and industry (healthcare, auto industry, etc.) and they don't want it"

Armey "biggest issue is individual liberty as protected by the constitution"

[georgiaboy]

Judge's fast-paced, hard-hitting approach wins for this intro episode.

DeMint "congratulations on your new show, Judge"

This will be on my regular weekly schedule, this and nothing else from Fox.

[georgiaboy]

Now, infighting within the democrat party.

Pelosi heckled by far-leftwingers military overseas adventures, healthcare rationing, and not getting their handouts fast enough...

[ItsTime]

The Judge did not ask to see her new implants, I'm disappointed :(

[georgiaboy]

"From New York, Defending Freedom, So Long, America"
and out
!!!!!!

[BamaFanNKy]

The Judge did not ask to see her new implants, I'm disappointed :(

They are not implants, sad. :(

[devil21]

Overall it was great to see a reasonably principled discussion of the Tea Party/Liberty movement and what we mostly stand for. I look forward to future episodes, though Beck being next week's guest is kinda lame but I understand the ratings aspect.

However, Ron basically ducked the abortion issue, Palin ducked the pre-emptive war issue and Rendell ducked the marijuana legalization issue. Judge should have been a little firmer in making them speak on those subjects further.
