Whoa, where did this come from...

[brumans]

I didn't even know Fox had a Business channel

[FluffyUnbound]

It started on Monday.

More people watch Justin.tv than watch the Fox Business Channel.

[uncloned21]

awesome. its showing the "never voted to raise taxes, never...." sdcrolling at the bottom

[Abobo]

I didn't even know Fox had a Business channel

It's new. I bet they aren't getting enough viewers so they're trying get RP supporters to watch.

[werdd]

man you can tell hes getting sick of them hammering the "will you run 3rd party" question, lengthy interview though... too bad fox business viewership is so low, we dont even have it on my cable package.

[Santana28]

It's new. I bet they aren't getting enough viewers so they're trying get RP supporters to watch.

yup. thats about it. the more ratings it gets early, the more likely it will get picked up by other cable providers. i say we don't help them out!!!

[yoshimaroka]

That was a cakewalk for Ron.

[kylejack]

This is a hella-long clip, and they're running his talking points and the good things about him at the bottom of the screen....This is some kind of bizarro-Fox.

[uncloned21]

Hm. interesting. Start trading a new currency to phase out the worthless federal reserve notes? is that what he is saying? How could you do that? How quickly would people be trying to get rid of the fiat currency?

[Stealth4]

This is a hella-long clip, and they're running his talking points and the good things about him at the bottom of the screen....This is some kind of bizarro-Fox.

Maybe they think attacking him isnt working so they now are trying to end his campaign by treating him kindly?

[Mort]

How fitting is that. Ron Paul has a alomst 10 minute interesting conversation. Of course, its on a new channel that no one has. :mad:

[mavtek]

Awesome! Good interview I think that caught most of us off guard!

[Bruehound]

Yeah the 'will you run 3rd party' line of questioning is getting old but RP is getting very adept at redirecting and saying his bid for the nomination has sufficient momentum to be a competitive force to be reckoned with.

[TVMH]

Dagan McDowell gits oan my nurves.

[Johnnybags]

do the same ridiculous attack on the 21st. I am sure they will, RUDY all night and follow ups to Rudy to give extra time. I love it though, Greenspan questioning whether we actually need a FED?

[ForTheRepublic]

wait that was fox news..... no hate or venom spitting.

[werdd]

hes been walking the fine libertarian line for the past few months, i want to read his book, "the age of turbulence". It seems the old man has come to terms that the organization he headed is actually crap.

[querty]

Hm. interesting. Start trading a new currency to phase out the worthless federal reserve notes? is that what he is saying? How could you do that? How quickly would people be trying to get rid of the fiat currency?

Throughout the history, all politically enforced fiat currencies have crashed at some point, and new gold-backed money has emerged as the new standard. It's what people want if they're allowed to choose freely.

Think about it, what would you prefer - money bills that can be exchanged for real value like gold OR money bills worth nothing more than the paper?

[mrchubbs]

This was a great interview because he was able to detail his competing currency idea. It's not something he's been able to do on the more mainstream channels.

Then again... the FBN may not really be considered main stream yet.

[Bob Cochran]

Maybe they think attacking him isnt working so they now are trying to end his campaign by treating him kindly?

More likely Fox sees his support and are hedging their bets.

[kylejack]

They might also be trying to woo him into purchasing ads.

[Dave Wood]

WOW WOW this is the best reporting I have seen on RP domestic, monetary and from FOX/ gotta be kidding?

You can tell that they were truly interested in getting his plans out. They knew that what people were sying about his ideas were because they werent getting enough info.


The best yet imho:D

[EvilEngineer]

I'll watch clips from Fox, but never pay them money to watch it. Anything under the News Corp empire is a source of misinformation...

[CodeMonkey]

That woman was annoying. She was pretty hostile and didn't really understand what he was saying.

[TVMH]

Dagan McDowell gits own my nurves.

[ItsTime]

typical fox news reporter.


That woman was annoying. She was pretty hostile and didn't really understand what he was saying.

[Hurricane Bruiser]

NICE interview and shows Ron Paul to be thoughtful about his positions

[me3]

This is some kind of bizarro-Fox.

Thanks for the laughs people.

[Adamsa]

That woman was annoying. She was pretty hostile and didn't really understand what he was saying.

Actually I think she was ok, I didn't like how they tried to get an answer from him about third party though. It's as though the primaries are over or something.

[JMann]

How fitting is that. Ron Paul has a alomst 10 minute interesting conversation. Of course, its on a new channel that no one has. :mad:

It will be viewed more times on youtube than original viewers. You have to think there are probably less than 100,000 people watching CNBC at any given moment.

[terlinguatx]

...

[steph3n]

Actually his answers were quite good but I think they shocked him by giving TIME to answer and wow, It was actually good :)
He usually expects venom going on fox.

[BLS]

Great video...and he slammed that chic about the dollar.

BAM...take that beyatch!

[V4Vendetta]

Lmao

[DJ RP]

Importantly though they are different people. The 100k youtube viewers are often the same demographic

[Severius]

wait that was fox news..... no hate or venom spitting.

No they were just stupid and acted like everything he said was shocking or crazy. I was actually shocked at the lack of intelligence the Fox people displayed in that clip.

[daviddee]

...

[Daveforliberty]

Bases loaded, Ron plants it in the cheap seats. In spite of the fact that the female reporter didn't have a clue. I don't think she was antagonistic, just stupid.

[Bob Cochran]

They might also be trying to woo him into purchasing ads.

You bet!

[Bob Cochran]

I don't think she was antagonistic, just stupid.
A stupid reporter??? No way!:D

[steph3n]

kylejack's point about buying ads is good, other than Guiliani or Thompson he is the one with the loaded pockets
(of course romney can always write himself another check!) when you talk TV you are talking money, and they'd be GLAD to take some money!

[Daveforliberty]

I shouldn't have called her stupid. Ignorant is a better word. She was kind of like when you try to explain something to a child. "But how do you do that?"

Ron Paul = ad money.

[PathIveMade]

One of the best interviews on domestic /financial policy I've seen from him. Great Job!

[RP4ME]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXfDHXpP87o

They love to marginalize him - by harping on this 3rd party thing...its disgusting....enough - he is a contenda!

[transistor]

sweet, he's on fox & friend tomorrow

[smtwngrl]

Yes, it was great! :) They really took time to get details, and that can only help RP. The more details they go into, the better and more knowledgeable he sounds. (You don't hear anything like that from the other candidates.)

And I loved the way when the subject came up about eventually getting rid of the Fed, that they even pointed that they had on Alan Greenspan on yesterday, and told what he said--which supported Ron Paul's position, for those who might other wise question if it was feasible.

And even though this channel might not yet have a lot of viewers, this was youtubed. So now, when those questions come up with people we talk to, we can link them with the interview.

[manny]

A stupid reporter??? No way!:D


Am I the only one who thought she's really beautiful?! Does anybody know her name? (Apologies if it's late in the vid, I'm on a slow connection at moment so can't watch it past first minute or two :mad: )

[smtwngrl]

I shouldn't have called her stupid. Ignorant is a better word. She was kind of like when you try to explain something to a child. "But how do you do that?"

But that was actually somewhat good, because those watching, who were thinking what she was saying, also got it explained to them.

[steph3n]

That is the fox way, eye candy :D

[0zzy]

Fox Business seems to be good.
Good interview, good questions.

Every American has a Libertarian strand in them, nice :).

[runderwo]

I had to do a double take when I saw the source. Excellent interview!

[alicegardener]

Fox and Friends tomorrow, when exactly?

[Tratzman]

This interview was dynamite! I just passed it onto my e-mail list.

I think this is the best and most informative conversation on monetary policy that Ron has been allowed to expound upon in the MSM, ever!!

Competing currency, spend only what you have in the coffers, etc.

Very nice!!!

Very nice!!!

For anyone interested in Ron Paul's monetary policy, there is a plethora of applicable info and media at the Mises institute http://www.mises.org

The cute chick asking annoying questions is Dagen McDowell.

Interesting that Jefferson and Jackson abolished the central bank before.

Good interview overall.

[stevedasbach]

That woman was annoying. She was pretty hostile and didn't really understand what he was saying.

I think she was more clueless than hostile.

[OptionsTrader]

I think she was more clueless than hostile.

Current reality:

Many in the public are uninformed.

Many in the media are uninformed.

Many in the Congress are uninformed.

A reason to hope:

Ron Paul is waking a lot of people up and the people are informing themselves.

An informed public will vote for Ron Paul.

[TVMH]

Bases loaded, Ron plants it in the cheap seats. In spite of the fact that the female reporter didn't have a clue. I don't think she was antagonistic, just stupid.

She used to work with Jim Cramer a few years back (I think it was Cramer)...gold was around $350-400, and she said it was getting ready to "crack up".

[TVMH]

Am I the only one who thought she's really beautiful?! Does anybody know her name? (Apologies if it's late in the vid, I'm on a slow connection at moment so can't watch it past first minute or two :mad: )

Dagan McDowell...and she gits own my nurves. :D

[cswake]

I was a little disappointed in the interview. He was asked repeatedly on what his process of disassembling bureaucracy was and for the first time seemed to answer indirectly. Has anyone seen anything where he specifies his preferences on how to disassemble bureaucracy? On a more positive note, this was the first time I was exposed to the idea of having a simultaneous currency to the greenback and am receptive to that approach of taking the Fed out of the loop.

I love hearing Ron talk when it comes to the economy!

[Paulitician]

Interesting that Jefferson and Jackson abolished the central bank before.

Good interview overall.
Ron Paul is the Jefferson of our time!

[Badger4Paul]

I think these reporters sounded a little giddy about everything. They were giggling a little but they sounded genuinely interested and excited about the new ideas.

[michaelwise]

"If I'm elected president, there will be a consensus." Brilliant!

Doesn't quite answer the question. "How are you going to kill these bureaucratic behemoths?" Paul: "If I'm elected president, that means there is consensus. And the people in this Congress will wake up and they'll know they have to start cutting."

There is no way the Democrats will start sending legislation his way to repeal the 16th, eliminate Social Security, farm subsidies, etc. More likely the opposite will be true once there are Democratic majorities in the House & Senate.

[ksuguy]

A fairly decent interview, especially coming from Fox. However, I didn't like the competing currency stuff. I think it would be very easy for someone that was not informed to confuse it with the Amero, even though that is not what Ron was talking about at all.

[Tidewise]

I thought they treated Paul surprisingly well.

[Danny Molina]

Excellent interview. It seems like the new producers on this channel haven't be trained to hate everyone that isn't a neo-con yet.

and...
That woman had a weird accent.

[Ron Paul Fan]

Doesn't quite answer the question. "How are you going to kill these bureaucratic behemoths?" Paul: "If I'm elected president, that means there is consensus. And the people in this Congress will wake up and they'll know they have to start cutting."

There is no way the Democrats will start sending legislation his way to repeal the 16th, eliminate Social Security, farm subsidies, etc. More likely the opposite will be true once there are Democratic majorities in the House & Senate.

How do you want him to answer then? He can certainly have an effect on spending regarding military spending overseas right away. Everything else, he will need a consensus. I'm not sure if you want him to say that he'd make an E.O. to eliminate all of these bureaucracies or what. His solution is to cut spending overseas and work to change the attitude about what the role of the federal government ought to be and then work with Congress to phase out wasteless spending domestically in a transition period. How else is he suppose to do it? We're electing a President, not a King.

[sunghoko]

best interview I've heard. It's good to hear him talk about the economy. One question, why'd it take 5 minutes for the lady to ask that followup question.

[constituent]

POTUS ain't the only job up for grabs.:D
