[Video] Ron Paul on Piers Morgan Tonight 3/01/12

[SCOTUSman]

Just heard the promo.

He'll be back on Piers Morgan again to discuss where the race is going and what to expect on Super Tuesday (and how long he can stay in there (the race).......).

Piers already made it very clear that 'Rawn Pool Weel Naught Be Your Next President' :rolleyes:

[Gurv720]

Piers Morgan is a jackass who wont let Dr. Paul say more than 3 words before interrupting him.

[Lishy]

Hey hey hey. Piers Morgan might be arrogant, argumentative, and interruptive, but let's leave out the crude insults for now since he's being kind enough to let Paul on CNN again.

No matter how bad his hosting, it still gives Paul an opportunity to deliver truth bombs! :3

He doesn't get that opportunity... when an interrupting cow interrupts him every 4 seconds... He is seriously that bad...

[skytoucher]

He'll be a lot nicer this time around. He found out last interview that Ron is out of his league when it comes to one on one debating.

Remember Cavuto's first few interviews with Ron? Cavuto is a lot nicer now. ;)

[IDefendThePlatform]

Ok I'm glad we're doing Piers show again, even though I can't stand him at least he lets Ron talk. But this begs the question, if we're willing to do Piers again, why not Huck? Is Huck really any worse than "Ron Paul is NOT going to be your next President"?

[floridasun1983]

Any opportunity to remind people Ron is actually still in the race is a good strategy IMHO.

actually last time he interrupted Ron continuously

[D.A.S.]

Kudos to Pierce Morgan and the CNN for having Ron on and giving him the platform to speak!

I really don't understand some of you. They ignore Ron -- you give them grief; they invite Ron -- you give them grief. Be respectful to Pierce and thank him for inviting Ron back onto the show.

[IDefendThePlatform]

actually last time he interrupted Ron continuously

True, but we got an entire hour and Ron completely owned him, so I'm counting it as a net positive.

[affa]

is it the full hour?

[J_White]

I hope Dr.Paul would tell him again and again to let Dr.Paul finish his answers.

[Liberty Rebellion]

The last time Ron Paul went on Piers Morgan my 89 year-old great aunt channel-surfed to it by accident and liked it so much she stayed up past her bedtime to finish the whole show. She said he liked so much of what he had to say, she'll vote for him.

[pen_thief]

hahahaha

[Student Of Paulism]

Are you serious? Did you not watch the last time he was on his show? He opens the show immediately, saying Ron wont be the next president, purposely shoveling bias into the minds of the sheep out there. On top of that, he interrupted Ron dozens of times throughout, where Ron visibly annoyed by it. He was forcing his opinions out there the whole time and trying so hard to justify them (the whole neocon interventionism crap). I don't see how we are supposed to 'respect' that. His facebook was littered with endless negative feedback after the show ended too, so i can say i am not the only one who took notice of it. Maybe if he changes his tune this time around (not holding my breath) i will give credit where it's due.

[Gurv720]

He'll be a lot nicer this time around. He found out last interview that Ron is out of his league when it comes to one on one debating.

Comparing Cavuto to Piers Morgan is like comparing apples to oranges. Piers Morgan is a joke.

[Gurv720]

I really don't understand some of you. They ignore Ron -- you give them grief; they invite Ron -- you give them grief. Be respectful to Pierce and thank him for inviting Ron back onto the show.

We have a problem with it because they don't give him the same respect they would to any other republican candidate. If you watch any of the Piers Morgan interviews with Santorum, Romney or Gingrich - he gives them a substantial amount of time to speak, he doesn't interrupt them every 4 seconds and they actually get some decent questions.

When they bring Dr. Paul on, it's not easy to follow because he gets interrupted constantly and the questions they ask him are the same bogus questions they've been asking him forever. Piers Morgan does not deserve my respect, he's a jackass with a big mouth. When the interviewer (Morgan) speaks more than the interviewee, it's a waving red flag.

I'm really shocked that Ron actually agreed to go back on his show.

If you want to see a good interview with Ron Paul. Watch the 20/20 one where John Stossel interviews him. That's how interviews should be.

[alucard13mmfmj]

I liked it when Ron told him that maybe the brits should send their kids to die for Israel in the next war. Real guts and draw dropping comment lol.

If they had a tomato throwing app on their site so we could throw virtual tomatoes at the host when he deserves it, I personally would watch it on their site instead of waiting for the tube.*

*Just a marketing suggestion.

[Bruno]

Doesn't say, wonder if they are re-airing the previous interview again? They just re-aired it last week. Not complaining, he did well for crappy questioning from Piers "Smarmy Interrupter" Morgan.

It's new. Says "just before Super Tuesday" and also discussing Breitbart.

[randomname]

Piers Morgan to interview himself once more

[socal]

Dr. Paul is a lot smarter and more knowledgeable than Piers, so even though it would be ideal if Piers were to not interrupt him, it's still a net positive to have him on the show imo.

[rpwi]

Is anybody concerned that Paul is spending too much time on cable news shows? He tends to frequent the sames networks (CNN & Fox)...many of these shows probably have .5 to a million viewers...2 million+ on rare occasions. Many of these viewers are probably already sold or turned off by Ron. There are 300+ million people in the US...why not expand beyond CNN and Fox news?

Start with the day time shows...many have ratings in the 2-4 million range and well viewed by women (where Ron needs to make up a lot of ground). Getting on Dr. Phil, Ellen, Kelly, and even Oz (Paul could talk about regulations in the health care industry) would be great.

The late night shows with Letterman/Leno are probably about a million tops...and Stewart is probably twice that. These are fresh ears and eyeballs for Ron's message.

The broadcast news networks and news programs actually do better than their cable equivalents and shouldn't ignored.

Local radio and TV interviews are always great as well.

I don't buy the arguement that Fox News is out best demographic. There are a lot of open primaries left who have lots of independent anti-war voters...while fox news is fairly pro-war and their audience reflects that.

Know Ron is doing some this but would love to see him diversify more.

email draft...

Just wanted to thank that piece of shit Mr. Morgan, for having Ron Paul on the show.

Thankyou...


any suggestions before i send it?

That's an incredibly rude email. No wonder they don't bring him on?

Look, I'm sure they're aware we hate them. But sending in hate-mail is uncalled for. Be the better person in all this.

Ron Paul himself said that we spread ideas by setting an example.

Diversity would be him dong something NEWS worthy ... Sadly, he does not.

[pacelli]

I want to make a prediction: Ron Paul is "very pleased".

4000 people in attendance, his grilling of Bernanke and Bernanke agreeing to discuss further letting US citizens save in precious metals without tax on ultimate use of the metal, his questioning of Hillary, his vote against HR 327, none of that, all within the last couple of days, is newsworthy?

fair enough, but Ron did say something about spreading the truth...lol..

[Feeding the Abscess]

It's only news worthy if the media decides to cover it. Otherwise, I could walk outside my house and be famous overnight.

[pen_thief]

My mom's dying to watch this on TV even though I told her we could catch it online tomorrow -_-
Hate giving CNN the satisfaction...

[UMULAS]

link to watch it please?

I think if more people saw him stopping his campaign to do this he would gain substantially. People would see that he is not just trying to spread a message and get people to think a certain way. That Ron Paul is really trying to win to be president and also is for the people.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

lol " You are guys are desparate for news if you think I am in bed with Romney" ~ Paul

[justatrey]

He's got a very nice fitting coat and also a nice tie on tonight! Yeah doesn't matter to me, but this is the crap most Americans seem to care about...

[WD-NY]

Lots of cuts. Hope Ron trashes santorum and makes some news

[Massachusetts]

It seems like all the questions are geared towards a candidate that has already dropped out of the race. Not a single question about policy, just other candidates.

[Gurv720]

Piers Morgan - Still an asshole... Although he isn't interrupting him every 3 seconds. I'll give him that much credit.

[RonPaulGangsta]

Nice tan!

[justatrey]

Ok nice, the Fed and Iran coming up! Oh yeah and birth control :rolleyes:

[socal]

http://www.zahitv.com/2010/08/watch-cnn-news-live/

works for me on IE. but after the ad was over I clicked on the small almost invisible X on the screen.

[kathy88]

Change the law so no one over 30 can vote. LMAO.

[tuggy24g]

Well it was alright. Ron had better interviews before but not the worst. Hopefully after the break he will start asking him questions like a candidate running for president.

[Dublin4Paul]

Haha, nice. Piers asked Ron if he'd consider being in Romney's cabinet if asked. Ron responded with something along the lines of "Well, maybe I'll be seeing what he can do under me...." =D

[WD-NY]

Lol, Ron just threw all of his "over 30 years old" supporters under the bus.

Note to Ron, when discussing how all the "young people" support you, try to remember saying that this also includes those "young in spirit". Like you used to do (in the summer).

[socal]

Piers is being very respectful imo.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

He's got a very nice fitting coat and also a nice tie on tonight! Yeah doesn't matter to me, but this is the crap most Americans seem to care about...

I was thinking the same thing.

It's true, Piers is treating him and the race as if he already dropped out.

I am glad he said, " Maybe I should be the one asking Romney if he wants to help me with anything when I become President. " Good on you Ron. :) Up yours Piers lol.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

Sweeeet, they are showing the clip of Paul and the silver dollar with Bernake

Are you serious? The networks don't want Paul. They are more than happy to keep him relegated to occasional appearances on the cable ghetto. The Sunday political shows invite on the other candidates but not him. The evening news talks about the other candidates but not him. They want the American people to think he has dropped out. The bias is obvious and predictable; his message is dangerous to the establishment and they are the establishment.

[deputydon]

Did Ron just say gold was money 6,000 years ago? I thought he was a creationist?

Edit: my bad, for some reason I was thinking creationists thought the earth was only 4,000 years old.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

Paul also said earlier that he wants to pass a new law that only people 30 and under can vote. lol

He touched on whats happening with inflation and the devaluation of the dollar. It was good.

[kathy88]

NAILING Israel questions.

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

Paul was ripping on the government mandating what insurance should cover- related to birth control

[kathy88]

It's not insurance it's a mandate... it's an entitlement!

[kathy88]

Not bad not bad.

[Drivingrain]

oh, so much for the full hour. AB coverage

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

That's all folks.............Paul answered well. Just sucks that it started with Piers portraying him as if he had dropped out or might as well.

[rpwi]

That's it? Why didn't they do an hour?

[Emperius]

I thought Piers was pretty respectful, Ron was funny and he nailed the foreign policy Q's, wish it was longer though.

[green73]

toob

[Bama Boy]

Ron was super relaxed. Not sure if its the show or what.

[VBRonPaulFan]

i thought it was a pretty good interview overall

[AhuwaleKaNaneHuna]

I think they cut it short to cover the story of the death of the blogger.

[Bruno]

That's all folks.............Paul answered well. Just sucks that it started with Piers portraying him as if he had dropped out or might as well.

Piers was just projecting because he knows he should drop out of television before it drops him first.

[69360]

That was a good one.

People will be bitching that Ron is in Texas shortly.

[No1butPaul]

I thought that was great - what RP said about inflation and the other Rep candidates being dangerous, that was GREAT!

[Don't Tread on Me]

I came in a bit late but from what I saw:

...that was not an interview. That was a series of questions and (excellent) answers; Piers wasn't as respectful as he was dull and outwardly disinterested. No rapport was built, no back and forth, no flow.

"You really let him (Bernanke) have it w/ that piece of silver" was about it as far as off the cuff conversation. Maybe the beginning was great and I missed it. I doubt it.

[Dublin4Paul]

Ron's comments on inflation lately are getting better. I notice that more often, he's starting to find a way to connect the often vague complaint of monetary policy to the average person by, for example, bringing up how it raises gas and food prices, and people can really feel this.

[Don't Tread on Me]

^
His oratorical prowess has been on display as of late, that is for sure.

I feel like he loosening up with every appearance I'm lucky enough to see/hear.

[sailingaway]

Did Ron just say gold was money 6,000 years ago? I thought he was a creationist?

Edit: my bad, for some reason I was thinking creationists thought the earth was only 4,000 years old.He isnt that kind of creationist anyhow. His theology allows for evolution if that is how God did it. It is in Liberty Defined.

Damn good interview, except for being about a couple hours too short.

[sailingaway]

Oh, it looked like he was in his home office.

he has a condo in Virginia he lives in when he is on the Hill, he might have been there. Or he could have flown to Texas to pick up the jet for tomorrow's flight to Washington state.

that seems to be a good suggestion.

[J_White]

again, why the question about who of the other three is the best.
Dr. Paul should just say they are not better than Obama and have nearly the same policies.
and most of all they cant win against him without independents.

[devil21]

Is every Piers Morgan interview heavily edited or is it only Ron Paul's interviews? I don't watch him otherwise so I don't know but I know this isn't the first interview between the two where RP's answers are heavily edited.

Here's the vid if it hasnt been posted:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtkHsBuSGGo&feature=player_embedded#!

[Lishy]

To be honest, we should all give Piers a big thank you for letting him speak and not criticizing him much this time.

Though the interview is apparently edited, it didn't really appear to edit out important bits to make Paul look stupid either. There's a limited time frame, and they had to compress the interview to 15 minutes.

So for once, let's give Piers a "Thank You!" and hope Paul gets more media coverage in the future!
