Peter Schiff Gets Cut Off CNN

I think Jim Rogers does slightly better with the "let them fail" advice. Jim points out that a failed company will be run by new owners who may do a better job. The company and its assets don't disappear when bankruptcy is declared. A bankrupt company is taken over and reorganized by creditors.

This moderator in London set the stage for the assertion: let them fail and we all fail for years. Peter says just, yes, let them fail. Jim Rogers explains, let better managers purchase and take over the failed enterprises. This gives some hope for a revival (which is more true than the no-hope version).

But this complaint of mine is nit-picky. Peter does a marvelous job.

It's fine that he says it over and over -- about the same in each interview. New people in the audience hear him each time.

Some even wind up coming here to Daily Paul!

Hey. Check out my vlog at www.darkdownhere.com It's got hundreds of hours of original and unique content that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. Thanks

Why bring him on at all if there was some man behind the curtain who didn't want him to speak? Everyone already knows what he's going to say, as he says the same things in each interview, so they wouldn't have brought him on in the first place.

i CANNOT believe all the people on this thread bashing peter schiff...what the hell is wrong with you people???

he is a DAMN good guy and knows exactly what the hell he is talking about.

if you bash him you obviously just DON"T GET IT!

Ron Paul is My President

we are not throwing his name in the pot for President or vp???? And Napolitano, why isn't his name front and center. I know people want him in the courts, but first things first.

Maybe we should be looking at a Napolitano/Schiff ticket if Dr. Paul isn't available.

"As Americans, we do not swear an oath to protect the government or even the nation, but rather to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic" Peter Schiff Crash Proof

and also from his book
"Over the next 10 years the dollar is going to depreciate against other currencies, by what degree they're not sure. But it is widely believed that, despite occasional hiccups, the dollar will continue is 40 year decline. With our lack of savings and current account deficits, it has to......"

I don't know if he will turn out to be correct on all accounts in the end, but his basic philosophy is that the country will need putting back together again when this is over. Investing abroad to protect oneself and family from dollar rot is the proper path to preserve wealth which will make it possible for as many who will listen to financially survive this hurricane. Funds can be repatriated at tat time so the rebuilding can commence.

In reading his book I never had the sense he was anti-American, far from it. He is a Libertarian, an Austrian Economist, amazingly prescient and a Patriot who wishes to see America thrive once again.

what's with the horrible accent? I can barely understand that woman is this the BBC?

And that did look like a technical problem, not Peter being cut off.

What I am very interested in is some opinion of a video/tv engineer. I saw this clip in Europe a week ago, and the "lost connection effect" that I recall seeing over there was a different one, more with horizontal lines rather then diagonal. It totally doesn't make sense in the digital age to have this effect that reminds me of televisions in the '80's getting bad signal. You would expect the image of Peter to freeze or so.

Anyway: this might have been a loss of connection, but the timing makes me wonder. The CNN anchor lady just made her supposedly strongest pro-government / pro-banks move (throw away hand gesture while ridiculing the concept of the invisible hand), and Peter was about to counter it completely.

Just wondering if some editor actually has a big red panic button for situations like this :-)
