Ron Paul on Fox and Friends...

[Aballistar]

In a few minutes. Turn it on... I can't believe he's going to be on both CNN and Fox this morning. Finally, media attention... He's catchin' on, I'm tellin' ya!

[OV 101 Enterprise]

Morning Joe yesterday, and CNN and Fox and Friends this morning. Its great to finally see some airtime for the good doctor.

[tsetsefly]

utube

[Begood]

Please get ready to youtube it!!

[EvilEngineer]

Commercial right now... Lets hope they don't screw up their facts too much. Fox and friends are normally a bunch of morons.

[RonPaulCult]

Have I missed it? Is it a Ron Paul piece or the man himself?

[drfarrington]

God dammit.

What did we expect from the Girls Gone Wild version of world news?

[CasualApathy]

What happened?

[Aballistar]

Still coming up. Live.

[pacelli]

Coming up now after this commercial break, 8:41am EST. And the anchors are already introducing it as connected as "the prostitution candidate".

[EvilEngineer]

Damnit... it's about to be on, and they premised it on "Is he the prostitution candidate?"

Sadly... a zing like that will probably earn them a pay raise in the faux news power structure.

[RonPaulCult]

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I do not want to curse on ronpaulforums but they just showed hookers and had the name Ron Paul on the screen.

Did Fox News do another foxporn segment?

[unconsious767]

A sponsor is usmint.gov, stupefying

"eeeeeeuuuuuuwwww the BUNNY RANCH girls support this guy....he's the PROSTITUTION CANDIDATE, FOLKS!"

I kid you not.

Of course, I expect nothing less from ... FOXNEWSPORN

Yeah, you Tucker-lovers...didn't he do the campaign a HUGE favor?? The prostitution candidate. YES!

Here we go. "Bunnies Dig Ron"

Ron is on right now.

lol..

Ron looks tired.

[TheNewYorker]

What happened?

You don't want to know :(

[Aballistar]

Ron Paul just made a good deflection!

He does seem very tired though. Campaign trail must be taxing.

Dr Paul looks exhausted

Those dumbasses are wrong on that one (at least for now). The brothel owner is the only one who openly supports Dr. Paul.

[walt]

lol..

Ron looks tired.

yeah, he seems to be fighting a cold :( I hope he gets to rest this afternoon.

[Question_Authority]

I wish he had talked about how Tucker set him up for this brothel endorsement. Jesus Christ.

exactly, excellent deflection, Ron Paul looks tired btw, he needs to sleep for tonight's poll...

[MsDoodahs]

YAY! He said we don't have a democratic process here. That's beautiful, I love Ron.

WOW, Brian gave the URL!

I think Brian may be coming around, maybe he's spending a little too much time with the Judge, lol..

[LibertyOfOne]

They ask him about running third party again.

[pacelli]

Question about Dennis Hof:

"I don't know much about him, I don't screen anybody who sends me money... What they do with their freedom is their business. I don't screen people."

Dr. Paul looks extremely tired.

Brian Kilmeade conducting the interview.

Dr. Paul speaking about being in serious economic trouble as a country. "People want something new and different, and restoring the constitution is a good idea."

Question about if he doesn't get the nomination, would he become a 3rd party candidate.

Answer-- "Pretty slim, I tried that once before, and the system is so biased against competition here."

Name 2 programs you'd cut to balance the budget- "Dept of education, dept of energy..."

Kilmeade says, "Ronpaul2008.com, go where everybody else is going, and support the guy".

End of interview.

[unconsious767]

WOw they put up his website at the end? I'ma confused :confused:

[Question_Authority]

I can't stand his explanation of why he would not run 3rd party. So what if it's hard? The process if unfair but he could help change it! He should just say, I have no plans to go 3rd party because I plan on winning the nomination. It would sound a lot stronger.

[XelR8r]

Why is that POS makeup wearing talking head calling him Ron?

Fox has no respect.

[The Plan]

Ron needs to look a little more upbeat on the next one and laugh it off a little bit more. It looked like he was taking this a little more seriously than he should be IMO.

[Question_Authority]

RP should not be talking about cutting the dept of education and dept of energy without EDUCATING people as to why that is not going to HURT US. I know many people who think cutting the dept of education means he wants to end public schooling! People are DUMB.

Wow. Bad interview I think. Sorry to sound so negative, but man, he needs to get his talking points under control.

[brumans]

That is not in his character to say that. He knows the odds are against him. He's going to say it how it is.

[Voodoo]

Did you catch the under-the-breath, "sometimes securing our interests and paying the bills are mutually exclusive"?

[GHoeberX]

exactly, excellent deflection, Ron Paul looks tired btw, he needs to sleep for tonight's poll...

That's not good if everybody says he looks tired or ill or exhausted. I had to think for a second of the Ukranian presidential candidate who got really ill suddenly.

[pacelli]

This is part of the tactic, I believe. They know Dr. Paul needs press, so they wake him up nice and early on the day of the CNN debates and hit him with a couple rounds of early interviews. I'll bet they made him wait quite awhile sitting in the chair staring at the camera, without offering him a cup of coffee.

[MsDoodahs]

Why is that POS makeup wearing talking head calling him Ron?

Fox has no respect.

Um...I sometimes refer to him as Ron. It does NOT show disrespect. Brian has had Dr. Paul on his radio show several times, he probably feels comfortable around the good doctor.

[Libertarian]

Bill Richardson is guest host on Squawk Box today for a full hour. We really need to get Ron on CNBC. He knows a heck of alot more ebout economics than any other Presideintial candidate and would be an awesome guest.

[Question_Authority]

Ron needs to look a little more upbeat on the next one and laugh it off a little bit more. It looked like he was taking this a little more seriously than he should be IMO.


Yup, he overexplained and sounded overly defensive.

Kilmeade asked if he was shocked when the pimp endorsed him.

He should have said "I was shocked when Tucker Carlson arranged to have me ambushed at a press conference with this man I had never heard of, yes. Journalists doing stories with my campaign should not be making the news".

[pacelli]

That's not good if everybody says he looks tired or ill or exhausted. I had to think for a second of the Ukranian presidential candidate who got really ill suddenly.

If something similar happens tonight, we'll know something is up. If so, I'm hoping he will be cleared up for Dec 4 Iowa debate.

[MsDoodahs]

I'd love to see Dr. Paul guest host on SquawkBox!

[LFOD]

Sigh. Well, if he says there shouldn't be a federal law against prostitution, he's going to have to answer questions and sensationalism about that. The other hot button issue is drugs. The good thing is, these are very carefully thought out positions on Paul's part - he can give answers that people understand and respect.

It might be difficult for some people to understand the distinction between not supporting a federal law, and supporting a local law, but that's the fact in this case. I believe he said if he were a Nevada government politician, he would vote *against* legalized prostituion. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[pacelli]

Sending another $25 donation to give Dr. Paul the extra surge of support on an important day. He looked like he could use a little boost to remind him that I'm here and praying for him.

[ladyliberty]

Well I think it is a real HOOT that they cant dig up any dirt on the good doctor, and there are fewer "kooks, nut jobs and wackos" for them to bring out and show as supporters, so now they are stooping to converting their own smarmy Ron Paul supporters to smear the campaign!

I guess they are going to tell the Grinch who stole Christmas, and maybe Big Foot, and perhaps the Easter Bunny about Ron Paul, so that they can create a headline that says "Grinch, Big Foot, and Easter Bunny all Support Ron Paul!"

I think they are trying to make way too much political hay out of this - and poor Dr. Paul is getting weary of their attacks. I will pray that God will give him the strength and energy he needs for tonight's debate.

[XelR8r]

Um...I sometimes refer to him as Ron. It does NOT show disrespect. Brian has had Dr. Paul on his radio show several times, he probably feels comfortable around the good doctor.

Really?

So when you are having a face to face conversation with a US Congressmen you call him Ron?

Are you related or something, or just BFF's?

Besides seems pointless to argue the lack of respect point since they just had Dr. Paul on to ask him about PIMPS and HOOKERS!

[MsDoodahs]

Yes, face to face I have called him Ron. Not related nor BFF, either.

[thatnerdyguy]

I believe he said if he were a Nevada government politician, he would vote *against* legalized prostituion. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep, that was in a news story somewhere. I was kinda surprised, but not overly taken aback. I mean he has strong Christian values, so that might roll into it. I'm still not sure how he can be for legalizing drugs, but against prostitution (but maybe he is against federal laws outlawing drugs, but would vote against local legalization too.. hmmm...)

Anyway, I'm not voting for him for governor (in fact, I would have to think long and hard if I actually would support him for that post), I am voting for him for President. So as long as he keeps saying "Let it be a local issue", Dr. Paul is good for me.

[jake]

this fox interview was nothing short of DISGRACEFUL :mad:

[The Plan]

A better respose would have been:
"Why don't you ask Tucker Carlson, he's the one who brought him. All i did was give the same speech about freedom and small government."

[MsDoodahs]

I don't agree that the interview was disgraceful.

The lead in certainly was, but the interview itself was not.

[allyinoh]

Wrong, that was an excellent interview.

Dr. Paul is not going to do it your way or my way, he'll do it HIS way, which is EXACTLY what he should be doing.

I agree. I thought it was a good interview. He was asked questions, he gave awesome answers, and got a plug at the end.

I didn't even have an idea he was on this morning! I was flippin' through channels and stopped there and saw it. Got lucky. ;)

I did notice first thing that he looks like he needs a good nap. Hope he gets the rest before the debate, but sick or tired or not he will ROCK the debate!

[BizmanUSA]

The interview-clueless-er is a real Schmuck!

RP probably handled it as best as possible.

FOX tried to Red Fox RP but it did not work!

Even FOX is now saying "It doesn't LOOK LIKE" RP going to win instead of "Not going to win"

Fox says we raised $9.2 million then they show the web page at $9.33+ million

Get your facts straight - wait this FOX - they think they get to write the truth!

Let 'em keep asking. To me, it shows how terrified the GOP is ... of US.

[allyinoh]

Every interview! Every interview!

Stop asking if he's going to run for a third party!

What I think they are trying to do is get him on the record as much as possible then see if the runs as a 3rd party and then if he were to, use it against him to paint him as a liar or whatnot.

The mother of the puppies should have been spayed due to pet overpopulation and chocolate candy causes cavities. Do you really think orphans can afford the dentist without using government health care? So, YES, that would be a bad interview. :D:D:D

(It's a joke, people...relax!)

:rolleyes:

[Platondas]

I hope he gets some sleep before the debate, I don't know if its the light or something but he looks terrible.

[Quick]

That wasn't a very good interview in my opinion. They start it off with a girl pole dancing for 20 seconds as they introduce him, and then for half of the interview it says under Ron Paul how he got this "support" from a brothel owner.

Another crappy Fox interview. What did we expect though.

[idiom]

Good question that we like: Why are people jumping aboard?
Bad question we hate: Are you taking all the intelligent people off to form a third party?

Not bad, but the segment was way to short, but then again its talking about how to save the world *boring* bring on the sports and scanty chicks.

[rmcadams]

Lots of overly harsh criticism I think...

Yes he did look tired but frankly he's campaigning harder than anyone else right now... he has to. He's essentially in the fight of his life.

Regardless the interview was not good or bad... it was just eh.

Dr. Paul is a good man and I think anyone will see that who gives him a fair chance I just hope they do it before it's too late... pass out those slim jims people... I see a lot of inaction by 'supporters'.... if you're not actively trying to grow this campaign you're just a fan not a supporter.

[Dave Wood]

I thought it was a good piece. Brian Kilmeade works w/Andrew Napolitano so you know they talk about RP all the time.

It seemed like Kilmeade was trying to be very upbeat and seemed to really want to talk but towards the end KIlmeade seemed kind of depressed...dont know if that is the right word but RP seemed tired. RP, with his normal energy level would be having a little fun with this Tucker thing but maybe he is just trying to put it to rest by showing interviewers how ridiculous this is. Why not ask him about something really important like the DOLLAR?

[Mithridates]

Yeah, the interview was okay - started out pretty bad with the brothel 'news' but ended on a good note with the info on the money being raised, RP's popularity and the plug for the page. Definitely worth the short time it took to do.

[musicmax]

Ron Paul's national campaign staff needs to do some prep work for this kind of stuff. You HAVE to have answers - GOOD answers, not "we don't screen" answers - for EVERY question that could POSSIBLY be asked of you. This is not a "slam" on the staff - this is a BASIC REASON WHY YOU HIRE A STAFF IN THE FIRST PLACE. And yes, I've managed a winning campaign and was the main media voice of the campaign.

[Bossobass]

When I asked him early on, 'Why are you doing this?', Congressman Paul told me that, 'Next to the Bible, the US Constitution is the most important document ever written. As long as the people support my efforts to deliver that message, I'll be there to deliver it.'

Ever since that day, he has been true to his word. When the call comes, he arrives on time and speaks of Freedom through the Constitution. The interviewer, the venue, the motivation of the persons doing the interview, the time slot, the time zone, are irrelevant.

RP has been tireless in a campaign that would bring any of us to our knees. I met him in the airport at 5:00 A.M. in Manchester, NH where he was in line by himself, schlepping his own baggage after being up until 2:00 A.M. greeting every supporter who gathered to meet him after the 3rd debate.

I suggest that we supporters should generally stop second guessing his performances in these interviews and rather see his exhaustive efforts as an example for us all to do more to let people know he's THE candidate of a lifetime.

He always does well in my humble opinion. I'm always glad to see him be interviewed, and his answers are golden. His points made in this interview (freedom lovers are welcome, no judgement attached...shrink the Federal government...save hundreds of billions of dollars...our economy and the dollar are suffering from bad policy) tend to be taken for granted by most of us who are so very familiar with these issues, but many people are hearing them for the first time. It's cool that they posted the URL, where the details are, and just ahead of the debate.

Your right!

After watching this again, I have a question....Can RP see what Fox is showing their audience during these interviews?
If he was able to see the lead-in with the girl, maybe we were seeing RP a little ticked-off. That would explain his somewhat dry stance during the interview and the response from Kilmeade toward the end when he realized that maybe Dr. Paul wasnt very amused with their antics.....just a thought since I dont know how these interviews work.

[Sandra]

Hired staff are stagers. If he preplanned answers, what would be the difference between all the other candidates and his? You'r suggesting that he take the low road and fake it.

[Sandra]

I think his honesty countered the graphics crap. Fox looked pretty lowfor attempting it.

So did you just walk into tests at school without studying? I didn't think so.

Thinking about what questions are going to be asked and having answers ready for those questions is neither "taking the low road" nor "faking it" (nice cliches you throw in in absence of a genuine argument).

These interviews give a candidate very little time to articulate their positions; being able to anticipate the questions being asked and having the preparation to deflect the question to your advantage is a basic skill required for a campaign.

Putting it another way: Ron Paul allowed the FOX fool to steer and dominate the interview. Are you happy with that situation?

[lloydian]

Interview went fine. The host was a little irritating at the beginning but overall the interview went well. Ron did fine and looks like he could use a little nap but didn't seem exhausted to me.

[Mauiboy86]

RP should not be talking about cutting the dept of education and dept of energy without EDUCATING people as to why that is not going to HURT US. I know many people who think cutting the dept of education means he wants to end public schooling! People are DUMB.

Wow. Bad interview I think. Sorry to sound so negative, but man, he needs to get his talking points under control.


The no child left behind program is ruining our schools not helping it. You would be better off home teaching your children but that is now frowned upon by the Govment. Education should be left up to parents, towns, cities and states not the federal government! When the fed gets involved it only worsens the problem, just look at most federal programs, they are bureaucratic disasters that waste tax dollars.

I disagree. I think the interviewer ran out of steam on the "bunny ranch" thing after Ron Paul answered the initial question. And I think the answer RP gave is the only honest, logical thing you *can* say. The campaign is not going to screen donors, and getting a donation from someone has nothing to do with him *endorsing* that person's lifestyle. What other answer do you suggest he come up with?

[Kapt Nemo]

speaking of the good doctor, would have been fun to see hunter s. lurking about durring this election. "fear and loathing on the campaign trail 08'" would have been great :) He would have been a ron paul supporter to be sure!

I completely agree with you. Hunter would have been a huge supporter of Ron.

[Cindy]

Thankyou for the youtube!:)

I thought it was good. Ron handled himself well. He seemed calm and practical to me.

GREAT plug at the end to go to his website and get behind the guy everybody else is!!! That was awesome! And saying and showing that he is over 9.3 mil for the quarter already was awesome!!!

Randy

[Flirple]

What is everyone talking about? That was a good interview. Yes it looks like Ron has a bit of a cold. So what? They were fair to him. It should be noted that the last 3 fox interviews they have been really easy on on Ron. What more does everyone want? And I also think people are getting too worked up over all this Bunny Ranch attention. I don't think they are trying to smear Dr. Paul like everyone else does. It is simply a made for TV type of story. They love to have an excuse to show hookers. Especially fox.

It was a very good T.V. appearance. Lets hope Ron Paul will be well enough to debate tonight. I don't want him to loose his voice or be coughing and sneezing throughout it.

[Ron LOL]

RP's answer on the Bunny Ranch endorsement prepares him well for the potential that the racism claims might pop up somewhere during an interview.

The entire interview was great! Those were softball questions and the good doctor easily hit every one out of the park.

A lead in with strippers? That was great, what better way to capture the attention of an audience.

Did you hear the closing statement by the Fox anchor? "Ronpaul2008.com. Go where everyone else is going and support the guy who is really surprising everyone....."

What the hell more do you want out of an interview?

You know, I'm beginning to think that they keep asking him to run for a third party because they know we have a good chance to take over the Republican party if we get enough delegates in and move the grassroots support to it. They'd rather we all go elsewhere I think.

Onwards the R3VOLUTION!

I like the Fox and Friends people. I don't think they're all that negative. People are talking about the brothel thing because it is simply an interesting story. Hell, people here would talk about it whether it was in the news or not.

The third party question is obvious. We can say it's an attack, but given the makeup of the party establishment, the polls, and the nomination process there's the strong possibility that he won't win the nomination and since he's got so much support a lot of people would want to know about a third party run.

They're reporters, they ask questions. It's just what they do.

You are naive and obviously wasn't around when Pat Buchanan ran for President.

[Ron Paul Fan]

Great interview! Sure the 3rd party question is a little worn out, but not everybody watches every single Ron Paul interview on tv and the internet. People on here complain about him not doing interviews, then when he does, they complain about the interview! What's up with that? I, on the other hand, support Ron Paul 100% in all of the interviews that he chooses to do.

[thePhilosopher]

I am not sure why everyone thinks that this is a bad interview. He's going to make press with the Bunny Ranch guy, and he made the most of it on a popular MSM morning show. I don't think that Brian was at all unfair, and you've got to expect that RP will never get the softballs Rudy or Mitt will get from the media. RP is a smart guy and he can handle whatever level of scrutiny (fair or unfair) from the media that he receives.

RP does look a bit under the weather, and we should have him in our thoughts and prayers before tonight's big debate. Let's hope AC can distribute the questions a little more evenly.

I hope the ladies are giving their customers liberty cards and slim jims!

After seeing interview after interview I have come to have confidence in Ron Paul perfomance. I think he did well this time too. I think he does so well so consistenly because, unlike other candidates, he doesn't tailor his views to suite his audiences or the fad de jour. Also he has no pride to trip over, no bloated ego to defend and get him into trouble. Doctor Paul has the intelligence and knowlege to spare and doesn't have the tiny voices of "groomers" in his head getting in the way of his responses. I'm sure his high level of fitness also keeps him sharp. Who knows, maybe our prayers help too. Can't hurt.

I'm not sure if Ron was sick or tired in that interview. He sounded a bit stuffy.

[Shaun]

Great interview. In fact, I think that's one of the most positive I have seen, our man is fighting a cold but he'll be over that in a week or two, just in time for History making on Dec 17th. It will be four interviews every day then...

[scudiac]

I thought the interview was ok. They were definitely attacking him by saying he's probably not going to win, etc. Paul looked extremely tired though. I imagine it was really early for him.

[yongrel]

Though not the best example of objective journalism, I thought it was a decent interview. RP could've answered the 2 departments question better, but that's spilt milk.
