This Really was a Great Interview

Submitted by FlyingComic on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 06:39.

It's more than a little possible that Fix News' underhanded scheming will benefit Dr. Paul. Almost certainly more people in NH saw this than saw the debate! Ron Paul may pick up votes just from the people's sense of the injustice that was perpetrated on him.

I'm now a permanent Jay Leno fan!

Was a great interview

Great interview. I felt like giving Ron Paul and Jay Leno a standing ovation in my living room, after midnight, with everyone else asleep. Well I did but rather quietly.

I'm sending Jay Leno a hand-written thank you letter as well as an email, thanking him. I think we should all thank him.

holy cow... he actually got even *better*

Submitted by ProspectorSam on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 04:11.

Every time I think he's hit his stride, he comes back even stronger!

Jay Leno needs a statue. We should build him one. I'm serious. Doesn't have to be huge, but this was a *big* move and truly a monumentally important gesture. An interview this magnificent the night before the NH primary... just wow.

Back to peace, non-intervention, and respect for Constitution

Submitted by antboy on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 02:13.

I hope some people will also notice how much more inspiring Paul is when focused on the liberty message, and contrast it with the dark and negative tone when the topic is immigration. It didn't work for Tancredo, it isn't working for Hunter, and it is the weakest part of the campaign for Dr. Paul.

The good doctor hit all the themes that started the Ron Paul Revolution: he was back on message tonight. Now let's hope the campaign staff will start doing ads that get back to the peace, non-intervention, and respect for constitutional limits that built the momentum and brought in the money.

it's all in the presentation

Submitted by thamnosma on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 03:33.

The illegal immigration has to be talked about in a different context...that the rule of law (hence the Constitution) is essential. It's a tough nut but every country tries to secure its borders, it's a legitimate national right and it's in the constitution.

Perhaps it's too difficult to add to the plate he has to cover now. I don't know why someone doesn't simply suggest we increase our legal immigration quota from Mexico substantially, since it's a de facto thing already, and move forward with a guest worker program, one of the few things Bush had right.

BTW, Mexico is really imploding and becoming a horribly dangerous situation. Fellow biologists I know can no longer safely do their research in Northern Mexico or even inside the National Parks of the United States along the border due to violence from drug traffickers. Organ Pipe National Monument in Arizona requires waiver signatures in which the scientists must accept the possibility of being murdered to get a work permit. Can you imagine this?

Personally, it's time to come back from empire wars and deploy to the border. The drug thing is out of control in Mexico now. Nothing to do with workers looking for jobs.

Thanks again for posting!

Thanks again for posting! Excellent interview!

Leno is a CLASS ACT

Submitted by Ron Paul Films on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 02:00.

I was lucky enough to be at the taping and was blown away.
Ron Paul gave one of the best interviews of his life, and we have Leno to thank for it. He treated Dr. Paul with great respect and decency.

Jay must have worked some magic to get Dr. Paul on right before New Hampshire. Some people were saying that Leno wasn't too thrilled to have huckabee on his show last week (his first since the strike), so this might have been a bit of payback.

I think Leno really gets it. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a supporter.
And if he's not that's even more amazing... because he really did it for the r3volution tonight.

Ron Paul "Sign Wave Across the USA" -- November 5th!

For every

Submitted by jeffandnicole on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:37.

anti paul propogandist, there are media people who feel obligated be the other voice. It's very nice to hear someone have a normal conversation instead of constant interrogation. Jay Leno and Ron Paul were a real joy to watch.

Leno Bump

Submitted by FreedomFighter on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:34.

There is no doubt about it. Ron Paul will get the Leno bump tomorrow in NH. Jay Leno is absolutely incredible. Asking Ron Paul to appear a second time on his show because of how Fox screwed him is to be commended. He said what Ron wouldn't " don't you just want to kick someones ass". Ron just smiled. He was brilliant. The crowd cheered. The people are begining to understand the predicament they are in. They are also beginning to understand the teacher. We should all follow his lead. Dedicate ourselves to the Constitution. Continue to educate others on the advantages of following it. And keep spreading the word. Support our troops! Elect Ron Paul.

It is Lyman's next bomb for 1/21.

Support your right to be here and speak your mind. The RPR is more than just a movement, it is a philosophy.

that doing a fundraiser in honor of MLK without the expressed consent of the King family might be unwise - I agree.

Thanks for posting. Can you

Submitted by zainfidel on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:25.

Thanks for posting. Can you put up the second part? The Leno Show is not being shown in the San Francisco Bay Area. Can you believe it? I was going to stay up late tonight to watch it. :-(

WOW

Submitted by xciteful on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:24.

Off the charts incredible. Ron had to tone it down some and almost "dumb" down the message a little but it was spot on a perfect performance. Awesome!

Amazing....Amazing!!

Fantastic interview! Jay Leno have a 5-6 million crowd and the show is aired abroad as well.

Gift?

Submitted by just_me on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:19.

Isn't it overdoing it? What kind of gift?

Maybe a nice little toy car?

Submitted by crisis on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:38.

Who knows? Point is that an email doesn't suffice. I sent an email regardless, but I will do a little something extra. There was no "are you going to run as a 3rd party?" or "you can't win" nonsense. Jay was a class act. he saw an injustice being done by not only Fox News, but the media in general and he called Ron up booked in on the show the day before the next big primary. We've been burned by 20/20 and Larry King before and completely ignored by Fox. Let's show if you take care of us, we will show our appreciation.

Just be sure that ...

Loved Jay's comments at the BEGINNING of the show!

Submitted by JeffnDallas on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:19.

Just after Jay came back from his first commercial break, he explained "why" he had Ron Paul on and I was bordering on a Glenn Beck/french kiss moment (lol). Jay, you had me at "Hello, Ron Paul!"

This took not only some MAJOR brass balls, but also integrity of stellar proportions given his colleagues in the media.

Jay, our collective hat is off to you, OUR friend!

Taping of show

Submitted by blonduxo on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:13.

is around 3 pm PST. That is why transcript is available so soon.

loved it, thanks Jay

Submitted by boomhauer on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:12.

was awesome. both Ron and Jay, excellent.

Jay for VP?

Why would you want Jay to take such a massive hit?

Submitted by jcr@mac.com on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:21.

He'd lose a couple million bucks a year if he gave up show business for the vice presidency.

Class Act

Submitted by crisis on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:10.

I replied to one of the posts before expressing a cautious optimism for a 2nd interview, but Jay Leno came through with flying colors. I am truly impressed. Some hooligans throwing snowballs may have shown a bad light on the movement, but I and hopefully others will show the media we appreciate who our friends are. Larry King was a phony, Jay is the real deal.I will do more then send an email, I will send a gift showing him how much I appreciate him.

Spectacular!

Submitted by Jiminy Cricket on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 01:09.

Dr. Paul looked very confident and seemed to be really enjoying himself. And what BOLD statements from Jay! Wow!

So, so glad the the strikers were welcoming of Dr. Paul!! Can't underscore that enough. I took some heat earlier, but that stuff matters more than people realize. Union folk do watch. Dr. Paul spoke well of Dennis Kucinich and he is pro-union.

Huck got called scab and had negative articles about his crossing the picket line. Think there will be articles talking about the CHEERING strikers taking RP signs and stickers, as "mr.patrickoconnor" describes further down?

Any pictures or videos of the strikers cheering and taking the RP signs and stickers?

where's part II? video anyone?

frustrating; i'm in CA so i have to wait-but i dont stay up that late...
