Bob Barr was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly on his radio show today. The exchange was only a tad confrontational. O’Reilly used his usual tactic of telling his guest what he believes in and then asking a semi-related question so the guest doesn’t have a chance to refute the original charge. They discuss taxes and government spending among other things.

Bob Barr talks with Doug McIntyre on KABC Los Angeles in a very good interview. They cover the standard questions like his spoiler role, but also delve into the issues like the Iraq War, Protecting the border, recent Supreme Court decisions, federalism, etc.. Very good interview. The final question was an interesting one about Wayne Allyn Root and whether he is “serious” as a VP candidate.

Bob Barr was interviewed by Alan Colmes on his radio show on June 19th. Alan went through the laundry list of Barr’s changed positions forcing him to answer to each one. This is a must listen interview for anyone on the fence about Barr’s positions on his transformation. He is asked about the Patriot Act, the Iraq war authorization, the Defense Of Marriage Act, Supreme Court Justice appointees, and more. Listen/watch below.

Tomorrow Bob Barr will be interviewed by Al Rantel on KABC 790 at 2:05pm Eastern. Last Friday Wayne Allyn Root was interviewed by Rantel. He certainly didn’t sound like a neo-conservative war monger in this interview. In fact, he sounded much like Ron Paul and Bob Barr. He admits in the interview to doing a 180 on the Iraq war. Some will look at this transformation as mere convenience, others will take him at his word. Some are stuck somewhere in the middle. All in all though Root gives a pretty good interview.

Bob Barr was interviewed by Dennis Miller on his syndicated radio show today. They discussed much about FISA and Barr’s role in the election. Interesting how Miller cuts Barr off at the end of the interview. It was an odd thing to do. Miller apparently believes that Obama and McCain will actually debate the substantive nature of issues like FISA, limited government, taxes, etc.. Miller cut Barr off for suggesting that his own candidacy will move the debate more towards the fundamentals rather than the usual political surface. The overall meat of the interview is pretty good though. The interview is about 14 minutes long (commercials stripped out).

I supposed the media appearances by Barr are difficult to nail down. According to Glenn Beck this morning the hour long interview with Bob Barr will air on Friday evening at 7pm on CNN Headline News. It was previously reported as occurring on Wednesday, then Thursday. I heard it straight from Beck’s mouth on his radio show this morning that it will be on tomorrow (Friday night).

UPDATE: From the Barr campaign: Barr will appear on Beck’s TV show tonight as a “lead”, but the hour long interview will air tomorrow night.

A previously reported media interview on Bloomberg TV was scheduled for tonight for Barr, but looking at the guide for the show it looks like he won’t be on tonight. I will try to get clarification from the Barr campaign to find out when he will be on “Night Talk” on Bloomberg channel and post an update. Maybe my guide is not accurate.

Ron Paul was interviewed on KTSA 550 (San Antonio) this morning. He promoted his book and discussed all the things he normally discusses. He did reference the recent McCain comment when McCain said he wanted to run against Ron Paul “because he is like a Democrat.”

Listen to the (almost 7 minute long) audio here.

This is an excellent interview with Ron Paul on NPR Radio’s “Talk Of The Nation” show. Ron Paul even used a little humor which is somewhat unlike his normal “serious talk” on the campaign trail

Listen the 34 minute interview at NPR.

Ron Paul is interviewed for about 18 minutes on Brian and the Judge on FOX News Radio. Judge Napolitano is the Judge and is obviously more supportive of Ron Paul than Brian. Great interview.
