That is only 12 minutes of it. They never put out the full one.

But I want to see this. WE need to youtube it if someone has the capability. Unfortunately, the virtual summit starts at the same time, and I don't want to miss the straw poll in case you have to be there at the beginning to vote (I have no interest in Pawlenty's speech.) So I will be switching back and forth at least a bit.

[AuH20]

Ding Ding. Commercial break and then we'll see Randal.

[AuH20]

They cleared Spitzer off the studio. ROFL It's a one-on-one with the woman!!!

[Wren]

lulz spitzer hightailed it outta there

[Harald]

Spitzer bailed out. Hmmm... I hoped for some fireworks.

[sailingaway]

Wow, Rand!!

[sailingaway]

I missed some but I got that bit on Afghanistan, it is the most he's said on it yet on TV.

We need to mark this video for our own videos.

By the way, who is the woman? Provisionally -- I like her.

[jct74]

Rand Paul wins by TKO. Spitzer's corner (CNN producers) threw in the towel just before round 2 could begin.

WINNER!

Excellent showing.

I wish he would just say it's time to come home. The campaign is over.

Good interview though.

[olehounddog]

I thought it was a great interview.

Interesting. When I saw the title of the thread I was wondering why Rand would agree to speak with Spitzer again. Funny that he gets sent to his corner for this interview. He should also have to forgo his dessert at dinner tonight, too...

She knows she got a 'nugget' on Afghanistan that will be repeated widely, so her name goes up, too. But that is what a good journalist does, gets a guest to open up.

She is a RINO.

Once she said something like: "I have no idea what Article 1 Section 8 is!".

But apparently she had great chemistry with Rand.

I think it's Parker but she got fired today:

Perhaps Rand agreed to come back to the show only if Spitzer were absent for his interview? :confused:

That website or author really knows how to reward the reader for reading all the way to the end of the article.

Well, in that case perhaps we can educate her. Ignorant isn't as bad as wrongly convinced.

[AuH20]

Most likely. Spitzer would have been there with a clipboard and a detailed summary of Rand's proposed budget. Then he would start berating Rand for cutting off funding for baby formula and heating oil.

[TXcarlosTX]

just watched the replay!!! wow. rand did really good. i liked the ron paul plug!!!

oh another note : i bet that parker chick was a hottie when she was younger. with a six-pack of beers id hit that. no doubt in my mind

[sailingaway]

an outtake from the interview here:

http://www.cnn.com/video/

Yeah, but it's social security, which is now being tweeted. I honestly thought they'd be more interested in the military statements, because he has said that about social security all over by now.

Where were you able to find the "replay?" Thanks.

She's still a hottie in my opinion.

[Brett85]

Youtube?

[sailingaway]

Youtube?

Really!! I missed the beginning and assumed it would be up shortly... CNN only has the clip they are touting about social security, and we want more than that. Plus I just plain want to see the part at the beginning that I missed.

[Inkblots]

Yeah, that's just dumb. Why would they upload just a two minute clip and not make the whole thing available while they were at it?

I guess it goes to show that no watches CNN, since apparently no one has a recording of it to upload. The entire Freedom Watch interview has already been uploaded multiple times, after all.

Makes one wish more people actually watched CNN... I would love to see a tube, as the interview sounds pretty interesting.

[PeacePlan]

Great interview and it included Ron Paul also.... very good.

[anaconda]

Ouch..Rand said nation building was "noble." And that 5 to 10 thousand troops would be appropriate in Afghanistan. However, I realize this is politics he is playing. His goal now appears to be calling out both parties and positioning himself uniquely. By wording it this way, he has indemnified himself against a rebuttal that says "Rand Paul is crazy with his military budget proposal..we can't simply withdraw from Afghanistan!!!!He's effectively sabotaged that argument. He can say "my proposed deep military cuts do not require us to abandon our goals in Afghanistan." Or something like that. Well played, Rand.

[Jandrsn21]

Easily one of the best interviews he's done, in my opinion. Parker is a very charming lady and Rand just hits his points perfectly. Much better than that dope Spitzer in their last interview.

[axiomata]

What a pleasant interviewer ... especially compared to the fugly Spitzer.

Correction: He said it is noble that we want to try to help people, not that nation building is noble.

Exactly right, anaconda had me scared for a second there.

Perfectly awesome end to that interview. Way to go out like a champ Parker!

[Sola_Fide]

Wowowowow!

Rand is coming in to his own. Its amazing how much sense he can make if he is not interrupted every 5 seconds.

He did not say nationbuilding was noble, he said the goals of INSTILLING freedom was a noble goal. And the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Thank you!! It won't let me give you any more reputation right now. :(

[PermanentSleep]

Really great interview!

Also, my friend at school from N. Dakota said that he was talking to his dad on the phone the other day and his dad was like, " I've been seeing on TV lately that you all have one damn fine Republican there in Kentucky". Rand's making waves everywhere!

[teacherone]

so she gives a kick ass interview and then is fired the next day and they give idiot spitzer his own show!?

what a bunch of douches.

After months of reported tension
CNN 'fires Kathleen Parker' as Eliot Spitzer gets his own show (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1360771/After-months-reported-tension-CNN-fires-Kathleen-Parker-Eliot-Spitzer-gets-show.html)

[Brett85]

I'm glad that Rand has his own message and doesn't use the kind of rhetoric that many people here use. I think that trying to rebuild the country of Afghanistan is noble, but I'm just opposed to it because;

1) We don't have the money to do it.
2) Our own infrastructure is falling apart here at home.
3) We should never use our military for nation building. Our military should only be used to "kill people and break things."
4) It's simply not realistic or in our nation security interests to go around the world trying to spread freedom to people.

[pacelli]

I'm glad Rand alluded to Spitzer's "personal past" when the scumbag tried to get into Rand's income. It was a classy but firm response to an ad hominem attempt.

Which they completely edited out of what they post on the CNN page. They edit out all of Rand's specifics to make it look as if Spitzer 'won' by 'showing' that Rand had no specifics, as well. Which is sheer nonsense.

[Brett85]

Where was Spitzer this time?

[specsaregood]

Where was Spitzer this time?

He left immediately before Rand came on.

[sailingaway]

Where was Spitzer this time?

He was sent to his room.

Valid.

Nope, Rand did not call "nation building" noble.

He said we need to decide if we want to engage in nation building - which is what he said we're doing now with our current level of troops. He recommended a much smaller contingent in order to prevent their reorganization. "It's noble that we want to help people, but we're doing it with borrowed money." -Rand Paul. QFT.

[low preference guy]

I'm glad that Rand has his own message and doesn't use the kind of rhetoric that many people here use.

I'm also glad that Rand has his own message and doesn't use the kind of rhetoric Traditional Conservative uses here. He for example doesn't say that he should vote for the budget the Republicans proposed, just because it isn't as bad as the democrats. In the words of TC... "that's one of the promises Rand might have to break". I'm glad Rand doesn't think like TC.

[low preference guy]

Exactly right, anaconda had me scared for a second there.

so... you're always warning us to not trust anything attributed to the Paul unless hearing directly from them. but even you are not careful sometimes!
