Ron Paul advisor Jack Hunter on FOX News talking foreign policy 12/29/11

[Mark4RonPaul]

I'm a huge Ron Paul fan, and I love what Jack Hunter does, but I think he could have handled this interview better. She asked specific questions about Iran and Jack started talking about cutting a trillion dollars. While most Ron Paul fans know where that answer will lead to eventually, it won't fit in a sound byte. I think by not better refining his answers he may have made it look to non-Ron Paul supporters like he was trying to avoid the questions.

2:50 Host "he needs to be more.. have a better more realistic attitude..."

She get's paid to do this? *face palm*

[LibertarianChristian]

*Hosts asks question*

*Jack starts answering*

Host "Excuse me I want an answer!"

:S

[Clutch3Ball]

Many of the comments regarding that interviewer are true. You guys beat me to it. The MainStain Media will never stop RP.

[PowaHausTV]

Why did he dance around the question? Answer it directly: President Paul would not be in this situation because President Paul would not have put forth sanctions in the first place because as he repeatedly states sanctions are an act of war.

[TimmyJUnderground]

@PowaHausTV

oh i know! And it's the militarism hes cutting not defence in any way! And they wouldn't have any reason to bomb us cause we wouldn't be occupying their country! They picked the worst guy to back Ron. I would of done a way better job.

[rebelshovel]

I am a huge Ron Paul supporter. What we as RP backers have to realize is that this question about what RP would do about the Straits being blocked is a legit question about real events. Reality is these are the kinds of questions that matter to the people who are on the fence about our guy. In the end, she tossed him a softball which he hit out of the park with the Milli Vanilli reference. She even had a nice chuckle with him over it.

[435idiots]

I quit watching MSLSD, and the Communist News Network, and now I have quit watching FIX News. Sick and tired of seeing the LameStream Media manipulate the American people into the Coke and Pepsi box. Bottom line is we can pull our troops home now and change our foreign policy strategy or after the dollar collapses we will be forced to. I would rather we do this now.

[foxmuldr]

A rude interviewer.

[DeeSee25]

Ron Paul followers are annoying as hell. Cant take criticism and you whine about a tough interview. She's getting him to answer the question she asked. He was throwing out talking points. It's her job to make sure he stays on course. Everyone is always out to get you guys and Paul. smh.

[mikebblack]

@DeeSee25 it is about time, courteousness and respect. they do it to everyone though so you cant complain that much.

[macengaction]

This woman is one of the worst interviewers ever

[bobbyright2010]

He stood strong. Thanx jack!

[NJensenI]

Talk about FAIL. Jack Hunter is brilliant.

[lakbalakba]

Let him speak

Rude idiot

[RyanJ504]

@lakbalakba I was lucky enough to talk to Jack Hunter down in Iowa and asked him how he prepared for interviewing with someone from Fox News. Jack: "I expected her to talk over me, and I expected her to bring up Iran."

[dmoneyas24]

That bitch was annoying. Fox needs to interview Paul's advisor Bruce Fein. of course they wont b/c he would destroy them especially hannity, o'reilly, eric bolling and the likes.

[abdulmismail]

Iran hasn't invaded anyone in a thousand years. Iran is surrounded on all sides by US military bases. Nuclear weapons would be a deterrent to stop the US doing what it did to Iraq & Afghanistan.

"....wipe Israel off the map" is a mistranslation. The actual statement was along the lines of "the entity occupying Jerusalem will implode". That didn't stop politicians joining the two topics & creating a threat that doesn't exist.

Israel is pissed because it won't have hegemony over the region.

[LUOHANMAN]

This situation would not have occurred under RP presidency, simply because RP is against sanctions, and the whole reason why Iran is threatening to blockade the waters is because of current and unfairly imposed US sanctions, easy answer!!! she actually said the answer in her own question!!!!! its just she doesnt question why this situation is happening and why its caused by current US policy or understand RPs policies and how they avoid situations like this.

Media Hackery 0

[BLINDSIGHT8]

She is paid to try to find a hole n the Ron Paul armor. She is owned by the establishment! Great job Hunter!

[libertarian4lyfe]

Ok she was really annoying me but Jack handled it like a boss and I loved his Milli Vannilli comment

[DeeSee25]

She's a journalist, she's supposed to make it tough for the guest, especially one that represents Ron Paul. She let him talk, but remember, if he's on her show, he's gotta do as she says. I think the interview went well. More interviews need to be handled like that.

[aguafinatv]

@DeeSee25 SHE is NOT a Journalist. She is a whore a puppet.

[DeeSee25]

@aguafinatv Don't be the typical Ron Paul fan and get mad when someone questions your position. Grow a pair. This is politics. If you want journalism that sucks your candidates tit, stick to the Internet.

[aguafinatv]

@DeeSee25 I know what a journalist is. This is NOT journalism. You calling this trash, goofy looking thing a journalist is a compliment to her. Its obvious to me that u DONT know what a journalist is.Who the is this nappy headed clonwn trying to talk down Dr. Paul? She has no right because she is a no body. Dr. Paul is honest, is not a pervert like Cain n has what the other candidates dont have COMMON SENCE. SHe should talk about Obamas or should I say Oh-Blah-Blah lies n deception.

[DeeSee25]

@aguafinatv it's one story on Ron Paul. lol. I'm sure they talk about other candidates and Obama for the rest of the shows. It is Fox. Goodness, name call much? I bet if they didn't do this interview, you Ron Paul fanatics would be screaming bloody murder. "They're ignoring Ron Paul!!"

[Kultmannen]

@DeeSee25 shes supposed to let her guest answer the questions

[fcspike]

she don't seem to understand that he would assess the situation then take it to congress? as if how big a threat they are isn't important? should he just send troops to attack them without going over the facts to assess the threat then letting Congas decide if it is a threat to national security? She is to used to how it has been instead of how it should be.. Ron Paul 2012!

[M1k4e]

my dog has a higher iq than this woman

[GulfCoastRonPaul2012]

What would Ron Paul do? He'd do what the Constitution says... and if Congress (The people) agree that Iran is a serious threat to the United States, then Ron Paul would await Congress to declare war...and after doing so, Congress would hand over the sword to the Commander and Chief (President Paul) and he would go to war, win, and come home... That simple!

[ApocalypticGospel]

FOX News and the lamestream media is DANGEROUS!! It's dangerously promoting interventionism which the founding father and Ron Paul detest!!

[darmat22]

like your face girl but i hate you as an interviewer muah!

[matute11]

This was Obozo with a wig on interrupting at every chance to smear the answer so eloquently given by Jack Hunter. I love how they ask questions insinuating the answer! What a beatch! I will lop her head off too after the Revolution along with Piss Mathews!

[iamaronpaulblican]

LAWLZ THAT WAS GREAT

BUT I THINK MITT AND GINGRICH ARE MORE LIKE DUMB AND DUMBER

PRESIDENT RON PAUL 2012

[immamonster78]

She has to be the worst interviewer I have ever seen. Stutter much? keep trying to push the establishment rhetoric. At least she didn't ask about the 20 year old newsletters. LMAO! If this is the best they have they better just pack up and go home while they still can.

[littledogterrell20]

The media hates Jack. They know. He will not shut up. I guarantee Jack Hunter will be a congressman in the next decade. That dude is way too well spoken to stay out of office.

[raleighb53]

Unfortunately she talked too much and thus remained an idiot. All she had to do was listen to the answers to her questions..

[floydbayne]

Shut the hell up and let the man answer the questions.

[coocooclue]

That interviewer needs to shut her mouth and listen. She also needs to do a little homework. She says that Paul doesn't hold the "traditional conservative positions." They are almost the same positions that Bush took in 2000, those positions were in line with long held conservative positions of not nation building, not going to war without a declaration, and following the Constitution. Traditionally, the Dems have been the hawks (ww1,2, korea, vietnam all under dems)

[kboss365]

pretty simple, stop bombing countrys and worry about keeping our country safe!! duhh

[Halfstar3]

Rude bitch. She would have been given the talking point by her producer -- 'Ron Paul bad. And use the word 'dangerous' alot. People respond to fear." I'm so glad I'm awake to it all. RON PAUL 2012.

[MattIndigoWilliams]

yea shes got to leave it there after she got that ass burned.

[3o4Titties]

What a rude lady.

[WACWichita]

And the US/NATO just shoved one of their carrier/groups into the middle of Iran's exercise!

[AliceInWonderlandSyn]

@WACWichita Yep, it's an intentional provocation of war!

[MrGiggity890]

omg this fox lady needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[dellitoso]

Why can't these journalists just ASK one question, without asking FIVE QUESTIONS at once and spinning the questions into some kind of agenda?

[cwoclingensmith]

Jack, you need to just say, "He'd be bombing them into submission!" Come on, that's what the neocon base, crony capitalists, and big government fear mongers need to hear. The cronies need enimies to keep the military industrial complex going. Remember Dwight D. Eisenhower's exit speech on Jan.17,1961. This was his final warning to the American people. Is is coincidental that this speech came on the heals of his interventionist Mideast, China, and Korean policies (still haunting us today!)

[dellitoso]

@cwoclingensmith We can't give into the idea that we need to "say" something to attract a certain crowd, even if it is WRONG. If some superpower was threatening US with sanctions, don't you think WE would respond? It's completely backward thinking. "Oh my god, Iran is going to shut down the Strait of Hormuz!" Well, no shit!

[cwoclingensmith]

@dellitoso Sorry you missed my sarcasm. I thought that the rest of the note I wrote would highlight this. I used sarcasm because this is the non-sarcastic answer that the rest of the political field would use to solve this problem. "We" know that RP would never "say" things for appeasement that we're already centered in his principles. Cheers!

[dellitoso]

Typical shill -- not a journalist.

[Aryaba]

In a Paul presidency we wouldn't be threatening Iran with sanctions to begin with, so they wouldn't even be mentioning the strait of Hormuz.

[dellitoso]

@Aryaba It's the Hegelian Dialetic at work: Problem -- Reaction -- Solution. If we keep needling Iran, OF COURSE they are eventually going to respond, one way or another. It's like bombing a country and saying, "Oh my god, they're shooting back! BOMB THEM MORE!" It's that fucking stupid.

[havayii1]

Jack Hunter Rocks..

[havayii1]

typical fox reporter...

[plasticonobrisco]

This interviewer is nothing but a government run media shill. She is totally ignorant and unwilling to learn the facts. Typical yellow journalistic playbook.

[skygarretthartman]

FAUX News at its best.

[kynthful]

Pathetic interview. Fox News has an agenda and it becomes more clear everyday.

[tacitus7]

The right answer, that he couldn't give because it wasn't PC, was, "Ron Paul would get out of Iran's face and show a little respect, and the whole thing would deescalate." But we have to be the big shot all the time. We have to give a little respect and peace, to get a little in return. Embargos are an act of war, what the heck do we expect them to do when we do these things? May God give us ears with which to hear, and eyes with which to see.

[codecaine]

lol@milli vanilli statement classic ending!

[MrBleachlover98]

wow!!what a piece!!!shut your hole and let the man speak!!!!just another example of our awesome media!!!!

[seatown001]

Why would Iran want a nuke? Because they are afraid we are going to attack them..We need a PEACEFUL PRESIDENT

[JD06STi]

She is a surrogate for the new world order.

[Learningbyhearing]

@JD06STi very good!

[JD06STi]

@Learningbyhearing Thanks!

[elahi2006]

it was painful watching this, the ron paul guy did not thoroughly listen to the question! i support rp btw

[Learningbyhearing]

@elahi2006 HE DID! it was based on a false premise.

Hunter was trying to address the false premise and she misleadingly said (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, answer the question.)

[pbrawdy]

This woman needs to just shut up and let him finish... i hate the media.. i hope ppl see this atrocity

[Otzmatron]

Fox does not represent a Republican view in the traditional sense and certainly not a republic. They are owned by a man from Australia, who has nothing to do with the United States. Listen to them and face the consequences, a collapse is near at hand anyhow.

[TheDigitalxInsanity]

I don't know who that lady is, but can someone pass on/email the obvious answer that Jack Hunter didn't and should have said: End the sanctions. Plain and simple, that's the problem, and Iran would not block Hormuz. That and ending the ridiculously non-secretive "secret" drone strikes.

[kuchek]

THE SOUTHERN AVENGER PWNS YOU HUN! I can't blame you for not wanting to hear what he has to say. Doug Wead, Tom Woods and Jack can take on anyone. Bring it! We have the support. People are learning a new philosophy. Ron Paul 2012!

[SicStylee]

She needs to fit incredibly complex questions into a very short time frame. That is the biggest problem with network news today. They interview for 10 seconds then debate for 23 hr 59min and 50 secs over a few phrases they deem "buzzworthy". TV Is BRAIN CANDY!!!!

[1600DOGTOWN]

P.S. Ron Paul 2012!!!!

[1600DOGTOWN]

Wow, this lady obviously works for the system. You think her and Wallace from Fox are Facebook friends? Makes you wonder if it is her intent from the beginning of the interview to not let Jack fully answer a question until perhaps the end of the interview. MSM is a joke just like Iran.

[Learningbyhearing]

@1600DOGTOWN absolutely. She was trained and sent on a mission with this interview.

[ADoseofReality1]

lol, Let me ask you a question and then not allow you to answer.

[qing333]

Let jack speak?

[303frankie]

Why does this woman shut up and let Hunter finish?

[MrGiggity890]

@303frankie you mean why doesn't? agreed. yeah, talk about pretty bad journalism, lol

[303frankie]

@MrGiggity890 Ya, I misspoke there. Just got pissed off so hard that I wasn't thinking.

[MrGiggity890]

@303frankie happens to the best of us

[Xblvestic]

Ron Paul.

[officialusa]

Jack Hunter is awesome! Loved his video commentary even before he was with the campaign.
