I am truly quite interested in hearing what Ron Paul has to say. I've seen a few of his clips on C-SPAN, as well as during the Republican primaries, where he seemed to be the only Republican candidate making sense. He does have his flaws, but I believe he's a good man, and his heart's in the right place.

I'm sure Cenk sees this too. However, pleading with Cenk to bring on Ron Paul is a little naive. You think TYT hasn't tried to get him on? I've mentioned this on a post before: Ana tried to get him as a guest speaker on the show last year during the election and was basically ignored. Cenk and the gang book what guests want to come on the show. They can't force Dr. Paul to come on the show if he doesn't want to. Have you tried writing to Ron Paul and asking him to contact TYT to get on the show instead? If he were to show any interest, I don't think Cenk would hesitate to get him on as a guest.

I did not know that. I'll see what I can do. Cenk did hit him very hard  on the race issue on a personal level during the election. His crew might be protecting him. He has been doing more phone interviews recently. We can try.

berkinix, I just got off the phone with Rachel, congressman Ron Paul's public relations person in DC. She told me Ana just needs to call her at the DC office to set up a phone interview. Rachel is even a TYT member. (202) 225-2831

Ana and Rachel set the interview up tentatively for Thursday. Thursday is dependent on Dr. Paul's schedule but it sounds like it will happen. berkinix thanks again for your help.

And it was too short! I wanted Dr. Paul to keep talking. I wish they could do interviews for two-segments. Cenk's right; there are things about Dr. Paul that I disagree with, but on the whole Fed business, I back him up 100%. Anyone who's actually read up on the Federal Reserve would, I believe. It was an awesome interview. I heard Anna thank you on air, but let me do so also right here: Thanks for helping TYT get Dr. Paul on the air.
