Says it's a new episode on my TV guide

[V3n]

The way he put it on his Facebook made it sound like it would be new.


Important week coming up! I'll be on Piers Morgan tonight around 9:00 pm, Bernanke is before my committee Tuesday, and then big events at the University of Maryland Wednesday and the University of Wisconsin Thursday.

[jct74]

it's definitely new, I don't think they would be promoting it otherwise, especially as an "exclusive" interview. They will be discussing Trayvon Martin on the show too, so that settles it.

edit - confirmation:

[harikaried]

They will be discussing Trayvon Martin on the show too, so that settles it.I wonder what he'll say about it. NPR (All Things Considered, I believe) had a segment where one guest was pointing out that if the race of the killer and victim were switched, it would unfortunately be a completely different story. The guest goes on to talk about how blacks are arrested more often and sent to jail more often and given the death sentence more often.

I meant one of the other guests is coming on to talk specifically about Trayvon (meaning it's not a repeat), but maybe they will ask Ron about it too. Ron is going to be talking mostly about the Supreme Court case though.


Also @RonPaul and Greg Katsas delve into the health care debate on the first day of arguments in the Supreme Court. 9pm EST

Piers is usually an a-hole to Dr.Paul...maybe he's changed

[millercards]

$14,000 to go to $1 Million

We have a mini money bomb going during the show to get over the hump.

Will you join me and give just a little more... I've gone past my limit, but will be giving a little more.

[coastie]

I'm turning it off now, as Pierce is eviscerating Stand Your Ground with this woman who obviously has no clue(most certainly not enough to give an opinion on it). Last I checked, his lawyer isn't even using this as an excuse.

[jct74]

Ron after commercial

[jct74]

on now, playing Etch-a-Sketch ad

[kathy88]

He's ON tonight.

[afwjam]

Ron doing great.

[Bruno]

Played the ad!

Piers tried to say in great britain healthcare is free, Ron laughs and schools him.

[opinionatedfool]

Ron doing great.

[IDefendThePlatform]

Great answer on competition and obamacare.

[kathy88]

DICK

[jct74]

oh damn! took it to Piers.

[Okie RP fan]

Someone better have a tube of this by the end of the show...

[bbwarfield]

at work.... cant watch..... tell me people...tell me. I live vicariously through you.... long periods of time between posts make me think Ron is bombing but hoping it means you are enraptured by his performance

[Shane Harris]

fuck him

[carterm]

grouchy paul wins.

[kathy88]

Too little too late you back peddling douche Piers.

[opinionatedfool]

Lol, "why don't you do the decent thing and stop pestering me with questions like that!"

That was awesome!

[thoughtomator]

and with Morgan's final snarky comment to close the segment, the sound of a million TVs turning off

[Dublin4Paul]

loool, it was all going well until Piers had to be a dick and make it all awkward from then on. Ron kinda pimp slapped him in return though.

[kathy88]

Ron handled that like a boss.

[Scott_in_PA]

6 min :confused:

Is that all ?

[libertskee]

fuck peirs what a cock

[MarcusI]

I love that guy :rolleyes:

[Muttley]

Hahaha...softball after softball and then Piers shows his true colors and shills away for the establishment..."Why don't you show some decency and drop out of the race he asks Ron. His response was a grand slam...best response to an asshole question EVER! "Why don't you show me some respect and not pester me with such silly questions!?!" Love that guy!

[jct74]

lol, look what Piers just tweeted


I think Ron Paul just declared war on me. #CNN

ha ha good nite piers , enjoy your free health insurance and other delusions ...

[IDefendThePlatform]

Ron owned piers on that "why don't you drop out?" crap. Delegates, named a bunh of states where we're doing well, the. Piers basically backed down and acknowledged he should stay in. He still tried to slide in some disrespect at the end "Ron Paul, ha ha gotta love that guy".

[Dublin4Paul]

lol, look what Piers just tweeted



https://twitter.com/#!/piersmorgan/status/184454347462148096

Yes, but ONLY with a formal declaration of war. :)

My reply to that prick.

@piersmorgan And you're going to lose! Your delegate numbers are wayyyyyy off. You'll see what we're talking about soon enough. #RonPaul

[IDefendThePlatform]

Meanwhile on the Republican channel Hannity has his umpteenth Gingrich lovefest. Just ended.

[DonovanJames]

Yes, but ONLY with a formal declaration of war. :)

@piersmorgan You started it. That was just rude. Ron Paul has forgotten more today than you will ever learn in your entire life.

I actually think it would be wise for us to intelligently tweet at him and other news organizations about Ron Paul.

believe me it happens. But go right ahead. There are other journalists, however.

HAHAHA you must be tired tonight sailing, you just referred to Piers as a journalist...

[Carson]

I guess I missed Ron Paul.

Piers Morgan is talking about the Easter egg hunt now.

I think we should be thanking Piers Morgan instead for giving Paul time to speak on international TV at primetime...

[sailingaway]

I was referring to those I tweet to about Ron......

:p

Morgan was blatantly insulting and Ron is a gentleman.

I am not suggesting everyone target Piers, and if my tweet suggested that, I should delete my post. Literally, I was responding to something he had just tweeted in what I thought was an appropriate response while he was still in the conversation -- taken as a single response. A pile on is virtually never appropriate.

There's already enough people piling on.

[JK/SEA]

well, yeah, ya gotta remember Piers is an entertainer, and its clear his viewership skyrockets when Ron is on...keep that in mind, and one eye on that red coat.

I thanked him. There is no point in being mean to him.

[economics102]

I hate to say this but I think Ron Paul needs to talk less.

Even as a die-hard supporter, I was getting very uncomfortable watching him go on for so long on each question.

The attention span of a TV audience is short, people like SHORT answers and then they like to hear another question., it's a very ADD-like format and RP would do better playing to that format.

In the time he spent on 4-5 questions he could have answered 10-15 questions with short answers.

I know what people here are going to say -- some of the things he has to get across can't be summed up quickly. But you know what? If the audience isn't processing the long answer, what's the point?

RP is a truth teller. He should be cleverly blasting through lots of questions, shattering the cacophony of lies the media puts out.

[rb3b3]

@piersmorgan big fan piers, i thought ron paul was very impressive tonight, how come more people dont vote for him? im still undecided

thats my tweet to morgan, i want to see if he replies to that and if he does, i want to see what he has to say to it... for those who dont know me, i am a die hard ron paul supporter and would die for him, but i just wanted to pretend i was undecided to see how he would reply to an undecided voter... if he writes back to me, ill post his reply for all of you to see.

[messana]

You know your network is in the shitter when you have to have an 'exotic' British personality hosting prime time.

Lold

You know News TV is in the shitter when your choices at 9 are Maddow, Piers, and Hannity

....time to turn it off

[Stardreamer]

I enjoyed this interview. Ron Paul was better then excellent. Pierce Morgan deserves a pat on the back for this interview, and also for the Phil Donahue interview a few months ago when Morgan had no obligation to speak well of Paul, or even bring him up, yet did. I believe Pierce when he says "you gotta love that guy". I appreciate his statement that, "Ron Paul is a National Treasure". How soon do any of you expect to hear that from an American media personality?

Anyone that sends negative comments to Pierce undermines our effort. Those that thank him deserve +Reps. Ron Paul has been teaching us by example how to stand in another man's shoes. There are many "closet" Ron Paul fans out there. Let's not drag em out into the light, but invite them in and if they refuse, invite them again. If they refuse yet again, then ignore them.

Also....picking on the minutiae in Ron Paul's delivery isn't cool. He is mastering the art, in spite of being picked at. When its all said and done I predict that Ron Paul will go down in history as a "Global" Treasure, both for his delivery of babies and words

That said, you guys are all great!

An interesting, yet still bias article relating to the interview. I like how it ends on the note that the race isn't over yet because recently the MSM have been all over Romney closing out this process and moving on to the general election. The best message we could communicate to the people at this time is that it isn't over yet, and there's still a lot of fight left to be had.

[FindLiberty]

I wonder what he'll say about it. NPR (All Things Considered, I believe) had a segment where one guest was pointing out that if the race of the killer and victim were switched, it would unfortunately be a completely different story. The guest goes on to talk about how blacks are arrested more often and sent to jail more often and given the death sentence more often.

I'd like to see RP respond to his next "Newsletter" bias question with that info: "blacks are arrested more often and sent to jail more often and given the death sentence more often" and how this concerns him, especially since it's involved with the federal war on (some) drugs. IMO, Ron Paul should describe what a POTUS can do about this horrid racial bias statistic, correcting it ASAP, with the stroke of his pen... EXPLAINING (it's only my suggestion) INTENTIONS TO SET ALL NON-VIOLENT "DRUG POSESSION" and "DWB" INMATES FREE WITH A FULL PARDON within 24 hrs of taking office. That might give the MSM something new to chew on.

"The federal drug war needs to end so that Police can go back and concentrate on being peace officers, hopefully preventing another Trayvon Martin incident."

Drop a new bomb every time they ask another stupid question or waste everyone's time asking about when he will drop out of the "race" and quit fighting for our Constitution and sound money, etc.

[mport1]

The beginning was great. "The government uses force to transfer a service, a good, or money from one to another. That is coercion." Way to strike the root of the problem Ron :)

[rp713]

he spent 25 min talking with Chaka Khan about the trayvon martin case, and 9 min with a presidential candidate. why does everything have to be so backwards?

[Noblegeorge]

Yeah that was much better than the previous interview. Pierce Morgan actually allowed Ron to answer and they had a good natured exchange at the end during which Ron got his point across well.

[mike6623]

He actually let him talk!

[pacelli]

Paul isn't fucking around. At least that much is clear.

[airborne373]

Does anybody watch the MI6 agent Piers Morgan? I don't. Can't stand his accent.

[PauliticsPolitics]

I can't stand that he apparently barely knows what is going on, and this doesn't bother him one bit.

[Crotale]

Played the ad!

Piers tried to say in great britain healthcare is free, Ron laughs and schools him.

It really isn't. The NHS is vile.

[brushfire]

LOL!! "We're going to make you famous"

Awesome
