Ron Paul on Hannity radio (10/18) 4:00 PM est

[Matt Collins]

Ron Paul will be on the Sean Hannity radio show at 4pm ET toady :toady:

[bluesc]

At last!

We will get some awesome exposure for the budget plan. Hannity will love it apart from the overseas spending.

Kick ass Ron!

[rich34]

Wow, at least he's getting some press out of this, but someone seriously needs to tell him to start plugging the money bomb for tomorrow. Or better yet, starts at midnight eastern time!

[steph3n]

wow, I wonder if snowballs come up again. Everyone knows 90% of a budget is snowballs. So most of the budget can be cut for economic plans ;)

[RonPaulCult]

I think you mean 1:30 Pacific time (where Ron is) and 4:30 ET. Hannity broadcasts live from 3 to 6 PM ET

[nbruno322]

Can someone plzzzz record this and post it to this thread in a timely fashion??

Or is there a link to stream it?

[Danjlion7]

Wow.

[trey4sports]

Ughhh.... I can't stand Hannity. Should be a decent interview though.

[Todd]

now they can all say they aren't blacking him out. :rolleyes:

[bluesc]

It will stream here: http://wabcradio.com/article.asp?id=531472

[evadmurd]

When Hannity asks about Cain's 999 plan, Ron should remind him that even he admitted it wasn't good last week when he interviewed Rand on TV.

[LibertasPraesidium]

What were they doing when he gave his press release yesterday.???

[CaseyJones]

bump

Not on the radio show. Hannity's radio show seems to be a kind of audition for whether he wants someone on his tv show.

[Bruno]

Intro: Agree with him on 95% of issues, we disagree on foreign policy
First two minutes: Snowballs
Second two minutes: Why don't you ever come on my show, don't you like me?
Rest of the interview: Questions about his opinion on the other candidates, with some long-winded questions for Ron Paul on foreign policy where he will interrupt him, spending 95% of the rest of the interview grilling him on the 5% he disagrees with him on.

lol! This is great.

[Fermli]

doesn't Hannity air 3-6? So interview wont be heard live, right?

[raider4paul]

You sure it's at 1:30ET?

[Fermli]

Q: Do you think radio talk show people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin fear that you’re making them obsolete because your views reveal them as the statists they are?

Paul: I think that if I gain influence it’s an embarrassment to them because they’re not really limited-government people yet they make their livelihood fooling the people into thinking they’re the real leaders of limited government. And when you look at it we find out that they haven’t been. Look at Bush’s eight years. The budget exploded.

[trey4sports]

Hannity: Ron Paul, why do you want to give each and every Iranian man, woman, and child a nuclear bomb?

Hannity: Ron, why do you want Americans to use drugs and buy prostitutes?

Hannity: Is it true that you want to give our nukes to the russians and chinese?

Hannity: Well Ron, ya know, i hear you've been calling me a big gov't asshat... whatcha talkin 'bout bro? You know i agree with you on 95% of the issues. Boy, your son Rand, man I really have a man-crush on him err I mean, he is a great american hero.

[Jingles]

Rand must have forced him to do this...

[bolidew]

Finally Ron goes back on these popular shows. Way to go. His message FTW.

[sailingaway]

Rand must have forced him to do this...

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure it was Ron's economic plan.

[bluesc]

This is Ron's chance. "Debt is the greatest threat to national security". Balancing the budget in 3 years is pretty hard to argue with, especially when you don't cut social security.

Not too happy if this is pre-recorded, because Hannity can just pull an O'Reilly.

That is my belief, but I am HOPING Hannity really wants to give Ron's plan a showcase if Ron will talk about the parts Hannity likes best.

[matt0611]

I can't find a stream to this...anyone?

Oh nvm, I see that its 4:30 est now.

[CaseyJones]

well obviously collins cannot calculate time zones so I am going with 4:30 though I am unsure that is the correct time as well

[Bruno]

That is my belief, but I am HOPING Hannity really wants to give Ron's plan a showcase if Ron will talk about the parts Hannity likes best.

I hope that as well. "The best political coverage on radio" deserves to live up that self-imposed tag-line.

[dannno]

well obviously collins cannot calculate time zones so I am going with 4:30 though I am unsure that is the correct time as well


Collins!

[angelatc]

well obviously collins cannot calculate time zones so I am going with 4:30 though I am unsure that is the correct time as well

If Collins is with Paul in in Vegas and Hannity is in NY, my guess would be 3:30 p.m. ( Obviously this is a plot by Hannity to make us listen to his show for as long as possible. )

[Matt Collins]

You sure it's at 1:30ET?

well obviously collins cannot calculate time zones so I am going with 4:30 though I am unsure that is the correct time as wellActually I have edited the original post. I am not really sure what time he'll be on, but he will be on Hannity today AFAIK. I think 1:30 was the time that the interview was scheduled to be taped. The time zone issue doesn't help heh.

If I get nfo more I'll pass it on.

[low preference guy]

in conclusion: do i have to wait 20 minutes or 1 hour 20 minutes?

[RonPaulCult]

Actually I have edited the original post. I am not really sure what time he'll be on, but he will be on Hannity today AFAIK. I think 1:30 was the time that the interview was scheduled to be taped. The time zone issue doesn't help heh.

Gah - I hope it won't be the same time as Neil. The good thing about Hannity is that he gives fair warning about when interviews will begin "Coming up at the top of next hour will be Ron Paul"

[JohnGalt23g]

Guys, in case you haven't noticed, Hannity has one of the biggest audience of GOP primary voters listening to him everyday. You want to win elections, this is how it's done...

[smithtg]

hannity's favorite line "I dont agree with Ron Paul on national defense" (in other words "I love the war machine"

[Matt Collins]

Ron is confirmed to air at 4pm ET!

[PeacePlan]

Ron is confirmed to air at 4pm!\

What time zone please...

[bluesc]

Ron is confirmed to air at 4pm!

The same time he's on Cavuto? I guess it's pre-recorded then. Hannity will have fun editing it.

I hope someone else is gonna tube the Cavuto interview.

[icon124]

anyone have a link where I can listen to this?

There is also an online poll on the home page. RP is leading Cain 35% to 30%!

[bluesc]

He's gonna ask about this "attack" that no one heard about.

[trey4sports]

"why did ron paul call me a statist"

Sounds like its going to be a hit piece.

[McChronagle]

"Why did ron paul attack people like me and rush limbaugh as stateist?!?"

o gawd what a great way to draw in the masses of neocons before the interview

[matt0611]

He's gonna ask about this "attack" that no one heard about.

WTF?

What is he even talking about?

[bluesc]

WTF?

What is he even talking about?

No one knows. Probably something from '07.

[kahless]

He is on now.

[dustinto]

Said Ron Paul will be on at the top of the hour? so 5pm?

[angelatc]

blimp

[kahless]

Said Ron Paul will be on at the top of the hour? so 5pm?

Ron has been on for the last 5 minutes. They are talking about how he will get his plan passed and now about the debt. Hannity keeps saying he agrees with Ron.

[Billay]

Oh shit lol

[Billay]

Hannity didn't say anything about balancing the budget during the Bush years I listened to the guy every day.

[kahless]

Hannity is taking issue with Ron calling him out as being a fraud.

[specsaregood]

Ron, SAY YES. You are a hack hannity!

[Birdlady]

Wow this is awful so far... I just tuned in though.

[Havax]

Ron handling this perfectly. Kill em with kindness.

[specsaregood]

Wow, Hannity isn't even a Registered republican he says. LOL

[Feeding the Abscess]

Hannity didn't say anything about balancing the budget during the Bush years I listened to the guy every day.

Time to do a Cain-like YouTube expose.

[kahless]

Wow this is awful so far... I just tuned in though.

It was very positive until Hannity got annoyed about some past comments where Ron called him out as "a big government statist" and is "fooling people".

Now moved on to foreign policy.

[Birdlady]

Yes Ron is handling this really well.

[Feeding the Abscess]

Hannity is a massive crybaby, seriously.

[smithtg]

hannity IS a big government war mongering neocon. Ron cant say that on the air, but we all know he is. Hannity always brings up how Ron wants a smaller military. Hannity never explains how his beliefs of a huge miliary can support his beliefs in a balanced budget. Problem is, Ron wins this argument and it kills him. Hannity spins to no end and never makes sense

[kahless]

Ron has been really on through this entire interview. I wish he would be as clear as this in the past debates and in the debate tonight.

[smithtg]

I love how Ron is somewhat dodging Hannity's mousetraps. Hannity did give props to the budget plan and his listeners will notice that since he somehow avoided mentioning the major cuts to the defense dept.

[smithtg]

Time to do a Cain-like YouTube expose.


that would be good and then you can email him the link

[Billay]

Aww they kissed and made up.

[low preference guy]

Ron Paul to Hannity: "So we can be friends?"

[ross11988]

Is there a reason why Ron Paul stays away from Hannity's show? Hannity seems to always bring up the issue. The only times I remember Hannity having a grudge was after the Giuliani debacle and the snowball incident.

[Fermli]

It was very positive until Hannity got annoyed about some past comments where Ron called him out as "a big government statist" and is "fooling people".

Now moved on to foreign policy.
here's the comment he made a couple weeks ago:


Q: Do you think radio talk show people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin fear that you’re making them obsolete because your views reveal them as the statists they are?

Paul: I think that if I gain influence it’s an embarrassment to them because they’re not really limited-government people yet they make their livelihood fooling the people into thinking they’re the real leaders of limited government. And when you look at it we find out that they haven’t been. Look at Bush’s eight years. The budget exploded.

[SchleckBros]

"Are we friends???" Ron Paul

That was hilarious.

[tfurrh]

Was Hannity trying to dodge Black THIS Out?

[McChronagle]

he should definitely go on his show more often. sean is showing more respect the more often they talk.

[bluesc]

Wow, Hannity wasn't actually that bad.

Ron should have accepted the invitation onto his TV show. As much as they may disagree, it's an audience that needs to be tapped into.

[smithtg]

ron putting on his kindness hat. Hannity not bad talking him either. good interview

[cornell]

Seemed like a decent enough interview. Some nice, positive exposure to an audience we desperately need to support us.

Hannity even called him Dr. Paul at the end. Maybe he is coming around a bit...

[JamesButabi]

I think Ron should accept that invite and go on the TV Show.

[zerosdontcount]

just missed it.. nobody happened to record it did they?

[EBounding]

Other than Sean's whining in the beginning, it was a good interview.

[smithtg]

better to have a neutral kind interview and get props for the budget plan then come on the show like some loser (aka Cain) would and spout of stupid shit. Thanks for not being a dumbass like your competition Ron. I dunno if Cain has ever been on Hannity, but its easy to predict how dumb he would sound

[mpdsapuser]

here's the comment he made a couple weeks ago:

It's true though. I think Ron was referring to hannity's unwavering support of military adventurism overseas, which is a huge increase the scope of government and the contribution to the debt. This is just one area where hannity will never waver.

[kahless]

Ron killed it. Especially the part about how it is not just him saying this but our own DOD, CIA, DOD and 911 commission report. Exactly what Hannity's audience needed to hear.

[matt0611]

Well, wasn't all bad. Ron should really go on Hannities TV show though.

[LibertyEsq]

Very good interview with an untapped audience. Hopefully he takes Sean up on his offer and goes on Hannity as often as possible (no such thing as bad publicity)

[Birdlady]

Hannity knows what he is doing... They love to play these mind games. At the end he did that little "kiss and make up" to fool some of you into thinking he's coming around.

You guys really think Hannity doesn't understand that the wars=big govt? It really is all an act. RP understands this though.

[TonySutton]

I am wondering if Hannity and Rush are finally realizing the only one who really wants to fix the country long term is Ron Paul. He is the only candidate with a spine!

[LibertyEsq]

You guys really think Hannity doesn't understand that the wars=big govt?

I think that's exactly why Hannity could be coming around. If he wanted to attack Paul he couldve done it in the interview

[FreeMind&Market]

He needs to take Hannity up on his offer. Even if they don't agree, its an opportunity for RP to change minds of his listeners.

[ross11988]

Anyone?

[specsaregood]

I think it has more to do with the fact that they have been unable to stop him and his support and influence continues to grow. AT some point you try to embrace rather than fight.

[bluesc]

He needs to take Hannity up on his offer. Even if they don't agree, its an opportunity for RP to change minds of his listeners.

Most seem to be in agreement. It wouldn't exactly hurt.

Matt, are you reading this? Get it through to the campaign on our behalf.

[ZanZibar]

Is there a reason why Ron Paul stays away from Hannity's show? If he does, it's probably because Hannity tries to blindside him, put words in his mouth, label him an "isolationist" or misrepresent his positions. If I had to guess RP probably doesn't appreciate it. Just guessing though....

[1stAmendguy]

Don't trust Hannity. I agree with Birdlady. He's not coming around people; it's all an act.

[Expose The Foes]

oh my...RON IS ON HIS GAME TODAY!!!

i've noticed this new vibrant Ron all day on his interviews...this could be GREAT for the debate!

Hannity was very pleasant...so props to him for allowing Ron to talk & discuss his ideas. It's funny...cuz hannity was basically setting himself up to slide over to Ron's side...almost begging for acceptance. might as well said "please accept me as a conservative!!! i wanna be down with you ron! i love your son & want you to love me!!!"

haha

[LibertyEsq]

Hannity let Ron talk for ~2 minutes straight, and finish, uninterrupted. You just don't see that from jerks like Blitzer and O'Reilly. I'd be fine with Ron going on Hannity's show as often as possible if that trend continues

[kahless]

Only time I watch Hannity is when he has Rand on these days so I would definitely would watch again if he has Ron on. I think Hannity would get a little ratings bump on the nights he promotes having Ron on.

[Meiun]

Anyone?
I'm not sure exactly, but when Hannity did that TV interview with Ron after that debate a short time ago did you notice the cold shoulder that Ron gave Hannity? I think there's tension on both sides. I think Ron's is on Principle and Hannity's is personal. Notice how Hannity is always cowtowing to Ron when he has him on? It's as if he somehow knows that he has upset the balance of the universe and wants to repent! And there sits Ron withholding the love... awesome.

[LibertyEsq]

Hannity and O'Reilly apparently have a grudge so having Ron on and being nice to him would be a good way for Hannity to make O'Reilly increasingly irrelevant

[KramerDSP]

I think Ron is feeling like "anything goes". Either they ignore him once again, fueling more motivation for Black THIS Out, or they try to expose him, opening up the floodgates for him to bring more viewers his way.

[ZanZibar]

Tube?!?!

[specsaregood]

does anybody actually believe these callers aren't paid actors? had to turn it off.

[low preference guy]

does anybody actually believe these callers aren't paid actors? had to turn it off.

were they bashing Paul?

[pauliticalfan]

tube please

[smithtg]

I think that's exactly why Hannity could be coming around. If he wanted to attack Paul he couldve done it in the interview

I think Ron needs to continue the push against the wars and the bases overseas. To me this is one of the biggest thorn in both the dems and GOP sides; meaning Ron brings up how obscene the spending at the DOD et. all is and how you can never balance the budget without cuts to this money hole. They black Ron out because of this really; they (both dems and GOP) want status quo at the DOD to keep they powerful defense lobby happy. Some like to say 'shadow government' and if there is one area of government that we need to be more transparent (aka government secracy) its at that big 5 sided target in DC

[pauliticalfan]

^Thank you!!!

[trey4sports]

Ehhh, it's alright.

[Tod]

I thought the interview went very well....let's hope Dr. Paul gets more exposure through them now.

My elderly mom, who no longer has a TV (bad eyesight) and doesn't do internet, had never heard Dr. Paul speak. I'm getting her warmed up to Dr. Paul and she's planning on accompanying me to the Swing State Straw Poll this Saturday....

[specsaregood]

were they bashing Paul?

No, just annoying and unbelievable.

[pauliticalfan]

"We have a policy with Pakistan that's schizophrenic." -Ron Paul

What an amazing quote. RP was seriously on his game here.

[low preference guy]

No, just annoying and unbelievable.

good news then!

[cero]

lol wooooow can Hannity kiss more ass than that....

[AlexAmore]

I can't figure Hannity out.

[KEEF]

Wow, Hannity wasn't actually that bad.

Ron should have accepted the invitation onto his TV show. As much as they may disagree, it's an audience that needs to be tapped into.

He needs to go on and then drop kick Frank Luntz in front of the cameras.

[nbhadja]

Hannity and Rush are trying to build credibility after years of bashing Ron Paul and supporting Federal Reserve shills.

After they build this false "credibility" by convincing people they were in Ron Paul's corner the entire time they will soon say "I like Ron Paul, I supported him his entire career but he can't win, vote Herman Cain he is just like Ron Paul"

[bluesc]

He needs to go on and then drop kick Frank Luntz in front of the cameras.

He'd have my vote.

[Steve-in-NY]

Ive read all the 2008 threads.
Therefore, I trust nothing.

Hannity spins to no end and never makes sense

I've always been under the impression that Ron is in favor of bringing our troops home, not having a smaller military. The area that we should focus on for spending cuts is on foreign intervention and closing down foreign military bases.

[steph3n]

I've always been under the impression that Ron is in favor of bringing our troops home, not having a smaller military. The area that we should focus on for spending cuts is on foreign intervention and closing down foreign military bases.

since many of those deployed are reserves and guard, bringing them home puts people back at their jobs, AND 'shrinks' the active duty at the same time, and that is not a bad thing.
