Ron Paul on Glenn Beck - One Full Hour - All 8 Parts

This was historic!

What a wonderful president. I want to be governed by Ron Paul too :-)

I think before we get too far into the flaws, we need to write Glenn Beck and praise him for the interview. It gave Dr. Paul a full hour, and exposure to millions of people.As others have pointed out, it was repeated, and will be hit many thousands of times on You Tube.
Glenn was a bit "on drugs" looking at times, with a few non-sequiter add ins like "if you weren't a man I'd French kiss you". Ron Paul is not of the age group that would get that kind of humor and laugh it off. There was some disjointed,inappropriate personal stuff that was not helpful in choosing a candidate, which is what this is about.
Other than those brief wild departures, Glenn did Ron Paul and his movement a huge favor, and gave us a boost. I hope he stays with it, and does not revert to seeing us as a threat. CNN , MSNBC also had good stuff and the day was nearly perfect. "He has no chance" is rapidly fading from the stunned lips of many talking heads.

his families is a sorry excuse of a man. People have a right to their own opinions, we are not fascists. Bums...probably Ghouliani supporters, friggin' neo-cons.

But GB has ulterior motives. Be aware of this, the establishment is planning something and we need to be ready.

RERUNS!!! This was seen THREE TIMES last night and possibly might get reruns today (don't watch daytime TV here at work), but that was THREE HOURS of exposure Ron got last night on national air time!

Also, consider that some I bet were tuning in from the neocon camp waiting for GB to ambush Ron...and had to put up with the entire hour of fair and balanced dialogue...LOL!

LOVE IT!!!

I had missed quite a bit of the interview but now I have seen it all.

It appeared to me that RP was in top form but maybe a touch tired. GB, on theother hand seemed very nerved up. As many have pointed out he was not nearly as articulate as usual. He is never totally polished, which probably part of his appeal, but I really think he was "off" his usual game.

RP, was in many parts, simply masterful. He had a full head of steam going for the last 2 minutes.

RP needs to polish up a "Why you should vote for me" segment and start saying it over and over.....

Excellent interview!

Seems like a lot of people here were worried for nothing. As all my past messages have said, Paul can really handle any interview and it's extremely hard to debate him because he really is so knowledgeable and backs up many of his facts with history. 99% of the interviewers just don't have a comprehensive wealth of info like that in their head and all they can do is go on to the next question, or look like an idiot.

One of my favorite moments was I liked how he thought it was unfair he had to answer questions about 9/11 conspiracies because he's never supported those theories. And, yes, he never has.

It would have been a better question to ask this question in general, like do you believe there was any conspiracy regarding 9/11? or something to that nature. Instead of specifics.

I was very impressed with how Dr. Paul handled Glenn Beck. As a previous poster said, Glenn posed some convoluted and insulting questions, but Dr. Paul remained composed and statesmanlike. The satellite delay was noticeable, but Dr. Paul's answers were spot on. I believe Glenn Back was happy with the interview as well and that's about as close as we may get to an endorsement (though Dr. Paul doesn't need it). Dr. Paul's outlook on impending globalistic government, flawed foreign policy and foreign aid, the economy, taxes and his desire for a more prosperous nation clearly demonstrated that he has concrete plans for change and inspires hope. He is clearly a front-runner and when he addressed the proportionate size of the GOP and Democratic base as only making up 30% of the country, well, I came off the couch with a "hell ya". 70% of the nation is disgruntled and tired of politics as usual. Dr. Paul can win this whole thing, and that's whats shaking DC.

On a side note, I intend to send Glenn Beck an apology via e-mail, for the few fringe elements of our movement, who sought to threaten him and his family. THAT is completely un-called for! It harms Dr. Paul, scares away any new supporters and undermines our credibility.

They seem to be gone?!

Glen Beck had a reason for giving Ron Paul a whole hour interview, but in my opinion, it was not to give Dr. Paul a fair and balanced chance to air his views.

At the beginning of the interview, Beck seemingly fawns and says he agrees with Ron Paul which is an immediate disconnect from what he's said on earlier shows.

Becks sentences are broken and in many cases don't even make sense. He throws out phrases and words that don't belong together and that don't follow each other OR relate to what Dr. Paul's says as he tries to reply to the disjointed questions. A weird kind of a disconnect I have noticed before when listening to Beck; he starts to pose a question and stops in mid-question and changes track till you have no idea what he is really saying/asking. I noticed Dr. Paul struggling with that throughout the interview.

Beck seems to feel satisfied that the interview has reached a certain crescendo and abruptly, in a very confrontational manner, states that in response to previous shows, he has received death threats from Dr. Paul's supporters, has had to hire body guards and wear body armor and that he will read the threats, if we don't believe him, and immediately goes to break.

When the break is over, it turns out he has read the death threat privately to Dr. Paul off air, then on air, challenges Dr. Paul to address the threat, which we haven't heard; Dr. Paul tries to answer but Beck abruptly drops that subject and accuses Dr. Paul of supporting the conspiracy theory that 911 was an inside job...which Dr. Paul has steadfastly and consistently refused to support. It was almost as if Beck were trying to mimic the prosecutor's technique of catching the witness off guard by quickly switching subjects.

This interview in particular and the MSM in general, keep associating Ron Paul and his supporters with negative words like dangerous, angry, radical, disruptive, loony tunes, rude, rowdy, far out, conspiracy theorist, fanatic and the like; in this way, they make the connection in the listener's mind -- Ron Paul, dangerous -- Ron Paul, fanatic -- Ron Paul, Libertarian -- Ron Paul, conspiracy theories -- Ron Paul, Libertarian Republican -- Ron Paul, racist -- Ron Paul supporters, white supremacists -- Ron Paul supporters, death threats -- Ron Paul supporters, Islamofascists ---- Ron Paul supporters, dangerous, ad nauseum.

Repeat words together often enough and it doesn't take long for those associations to stick. It's like name recognition in advertising; chlorox-white, drink-Coke, Charmin-soft, Campbell's soup, um,um, good.

In this case, the desired effect is to have negative words pop-up in people's minds when they hear Ron Paul or Ron Paul supporters, "Oh, Ron Paul. Isn't he that dangerous, fanatic, loony tunes, racist, Libertarian, far out..."

Well, you get the picture, or you were supposed to get the picture because, in my humble opinion, that was the whole point of this MSM hit piece, to establish negative word association in the publics' mind.

That was my take on the interview.

CNN is doing a better job covering Ron Paul than Fox News?

I'm very happy to see Mr Beck kept his promise to give a fair interview and let Dr Paul talk. This was a fantastic hour for the campaigne. He handled the 9/11 situation very good. Like so many people that are Truthers have said, 9/11 being or not being an inside job is NOT why they are with Dr Paul. It's sad that Glenn and his family have had threats - it's not what we are about. Hopefully anyone with ideas such as these threats got the message that came in Dr Paul's response. Great job by Glenn and outstanding job by our Leader. Thank you for posting this for us.

Talk about a paradigm shift, I actually feel sorry for Glenn now. Those individuals who threatened his life should be ashamed. Just consider that the people who's conspiracy theories you follow likely suffer from schizophrenia.

There is clearly a bias, the liberal media doesn't want to cover a conservative and Faux News doesn't want to cover him since he isn't a neocon.

The dinosaur media is going to go the way of the radio, interesting at times, but mostly irrelevant .

The internet is the free market at it's best!

Very fair and comprehensive - Beck wasn't a jerk at all. This is big. I bet Dr. Paul will get a slight bump in the national polls from this. He'll be nipping at McCain's heels in no time.

That was a fair FULL HOUR interview on national television.

All you wackos out there now have two assignments.

1. WATCH THE CONTROVERSIAL GLENN BECK CLIP. He did not call Ron Paul supporters terrorists, and you would know that if you actually took time to watch it.

2. STOP ACCUSING THE MSM OF CONSPIRING. There is no conspiracy to silence Dr. Paul. You sound like idiots when you say there is.

Thank you for the post and can we say Ron has a new supporter?
This is the blowback of the teaparty god bless ROn Paul and his supporters.
