[torchbearer]

real.com makes it hard to find the free download... heh. i bet most people end up downloading the trial version...

[PatriotOne]

yuck. i gotta put real audio on my computer?

Ugh :mad: My kingdom for a one size fits all player :( .

[cujothekitten]

Man, it's been a while since I've listened to local radio.

[belian78]

wgn not only has alot of listeners in the chicago area, but also downstate as well. illinois is historically a democratic state, but i think RP will do just fine here.

[LibertyEagle]

bump

[Trance Dance Master]

Any minute now.

[kalami]

I don't live in Chicago, but the weather is good here (missouri).

[Trance Dance Master]

More damn commercials. They're really milking the increased listeners.

[torchbearer]

listening.

[brumans]

Where on the WGNRadio.com website does it say Ron Paul is going to be interviewed?

[DjLoTi]

I love taste of Chicago. I hope there's a good showing by the Ron Paul meetup group in Chicago. I miss Chicago.

So what's up with no Ron Paul? He's not listed on their show lineup. I've heard no mention. It's 111CET, and ... no Ron Paul. I'm not sure about this

[kalami]

what is this lol

[austinphish]

is this legit, b/c they haven't mentioned RP yet?

[kalami]

they pay these guys to talk about their boring lives?

[MsDoodahs]

It's listed at the campaign website, so it is legit...

[DjLoTi]

I'm tuning out, I'll catch it later

[Roxi]

what is it with radio dj's all sounding like howard stern.....i heard a mention about congress but nothing about ron paul yet...

anyone know where to find this video they were talking about with the guy going to the cockpit of the plane to complain to the captain?

[austinphish]

[jj111]

[Trance Dance Master]

Crap.

[LibertyEagle]

This host really sucks.

[johnrocks]

I just heard little after 2p.m. news so puts your ears on!!

[angelatc]

The original info we gor said 1:00 CST. Not our fault. :)

[Roxi]

I just got off the phone with WGN radio....it was a miscommunication with scheduling the interview will be tomorrow at 1pm CST (july 3)

[MsDoodahs]

I called HQ, it's today at a little after two.

Also, it has been announced on the radio that they will have Ron on a little after two TODAY.

[angelatc]

I just heard the DJ say that the interview is today shortly after 2:00. I'm not hanging it up quite yet.

[LibertyEagle]

This station is about as well organized as our gummit.

[Roxi]

well ill keep listening then just to see but the guy did tell me tomorrow

[Trance Dance Master]

This station is about as well organized as our gummit.

What do you expect from a radio station where Harry Carey hosted Cubs games for decades.

"You might be a redneck if you think the last words to the Star Spangled Banner are 'Play Ball'". -- Jeff Foxworthy

[LibertyEagle]

Hey, I liked Harry Carey. :)

[Trance Dance Master]

Hey, I liked Harry Carey. :)

Holy Cow! Me too.

[MGS]

OK i hate everything about RealPlayer so someone fill us in after its overwith, thanks~!

[MsDoodahs]

This station is about as well organized as our gummit.

lol..

"Big Brother is here...and he's retarded!"

[torchbearer]

no ron yet?

[Trance Dance Master]

Nope.

[MsDoodahs]

Traffic and weather...oh, goodie.

[Perpetual]

hah, she mentioned Fark.

[Trance Dance Master]

Ron Paul's name just mentioned now!

[Perpetual]

THERE WE GO, they just mentioned trying to get Ron Paul on the phone.

[PatriotOne]

Sounds like they are trying to get him on the phone now. Stand by peeps...........

[torchbearer]

he's on!!!

[MsDoodahs]

Maybe this is it? Opening about youtube dominance of Dr. Paul...

[PatriotOne]

good lead in so far.............

[johnrocks]

He's on guys!!

[MsDoodahs]

He read the business card points!

[PatriotOne]

Wow...the lead in in itself has me sold on RP ;)

[Trance Dance Master]

They're going over his biography and what he stands for.

[PatriotOne]

RP must get sick of having to explain the Rudy confrontation every time.

[zeegrim]

I like the way he giggles.
Do most interviews mention his scuffle with giuliani? it feels like it happened so long ago to me.

[MsDoodahs]

Of COURSE the radio guy asks about the Julie Annie thing. I'm so sick of hearing that, it's hard for me to keep in my mind that not everyone knows the story...

[Trance Dance Master]

I'm recording this on cassette. He is making so many excellent points. I hope I can get my parents to listen to the recording.

[MsDoodahs]

The radio guy can't understand how printing money to pay for things to send to Darfur causes inflation and hurts poor people HERE.

[austinphish]

did i miss it? doh!

[MGS]

The radio guy can't understand how printing money to pay for things to send to Darfur causes inflation and hurts poor people HERE.

Not suprising.. it takes a while for most people to wrap their heads around the concept , no matter how simple it may seem.

[LibertyEagle]

I think Americans think that money grows on some fictitious government money tree.

Well, I guess it does... It's called the Federal Reserve.

[Perpetual]

ooooh, I was about to get all pissed that they asked him to stay on the line while they just played music, but I bet the music is for the web stream. I bet the radio is playing the ads.

[PatriotOne]

I wish RP would go the next step when explaining his non-interventionalist philosophy and speak of spreading democracy by being a good example and having countries want to emulate us. And also speak about keeping open dialogue with foriegn countries, etc., etc., etc.

[Trance Dance Master]

Yea, I got the ads on the radio. I'm recording this on cassette. People are calling in now! He's taking questions.

[MsDoodahs]

Gov't doesn't make anything - they tax (use of force to take money from americans) and print money (which causes price inflation here as in gas and groceries at stores we shop in). So to do "good" in Darfur through the state means that the gov't uses force to tax us and prints money which hurts us through price inflation. Both of those are BAD for americans.

Who is our gov't responsible for?

Helping in Darfur or doing no harm to americans FIRST?

It's really that simple...

Helping in Darfur can be and should be accomplished NOT by harming americans through taxation and inflation but through CHARITY.

Anyone remember CHARITY?

That's what existed BEFORE the gov't usurped the role of charity...

[Noodles]

thx for the updates .... keep it coming

[Trance Dance Master]

Over. Interviewer said he would like to have him back again some time in the next few weeks.

[MsDoodahs]

Over. Good interview.

I guess people need it broken way way down...slowly figure it out...

Come to think of it, I had to have it broken way way down and slowly figured it out myself... :o

[brumans]

Someone post the MP3

[angelatc]

Where can I post an mp3?

[Perpetual]

Well I think RP did a really good job with that. He seemed pretty laid back, probably from being tired of talking about the Rudy thing, but I think that was a nice little blip.

[brumans]

Hopefully it will soon be posted on ronpaulaudio.com, too.

[Trance Dance Master]

The interviewer is STILL talking about Ron Paul now. He tells people to give him a chance.

[brumans]

The interviewer is STILL talking about Ron Paul now.

what is he saying?

[austinphish]

that was a pretty good post interview commentary. essentially: vote for who you like even if the guy has some "weird" views you don't understand or like.

it is a sad state that the Constitution is now considered "weird"

[MGS]

Awesome!:D

[Swmorgan77]

Nice!

[1k9]

I posted most of the interview on http://www.spreadtheword2008.com There is a small section missing because I was using a shareware program that cut out after 10 minutes, by the time I restarted I lost about 1 minute of the actual interview. These recordings don't include the post commentary

[BW4Paul]

That having been said, I don't think most people probably understood what RP was saying in terms of "stealing food" from Americans and giving it to the people of Darfur. Most folks were probably sitting there thinking that they'd be happy to give and don't see it as stealing... which (of course) is the whole point.

RP would do better by talking about helping Darfur through private organizations rather than using the US Govn't or the UN. He could talk about Katrina and racent UN scandals to show that private charities simply handle things like this better, because people can simply stop giving to any charity that does a bad job.

[Swmorgan77]

He could also point out how government agencies and interference often gets in the way of these very effective voluntary charitable efforts.

Thanks angelatc for sending me the file you can listen to it here (http://boomp3.com/m/c2a80c867d59)

[Roxi]

I thought it was overall a good interview...ron paul did sound tired tho, and tired of talking about the same thing but some good points were brought up that hadnt been mentioned in other interviews

and i like harry carrey who once said "the bases are loaded and so am i..."

[BW4Paul]

Yes, he really does seem a bit fatigued, lately. He has toiled in (relative) obsurity for so long that I'm sure that all of this new attention is both physically and emotionally exhausting!

I love his message and I hope to see it sread as wide as possible... but I do think he needs to take a whole 24 hours off sometime very soon...

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while. I'm enjoying the forum a lot. I'm also a Ron Paul junkie :) I feel like I've been given a political education. Ron Paul is very enlightening.

Thank you for posting this interview with Ron Paul. I very much enjoyed it. I thought he sounded quite good. I also thought his point about the mess in Dafur was good: It is not a bad place for intervention, but people forget about the cost of an intervention. That is, the cost to the ordinary American due to the increased inflation needed to fund the intervention, and then there are all the unpredictable consequences. If I misunderstood, then I'd be happy if someone would correct me.
