Peter Schiff on the Daily Show

Our cynical-comic pseudo-friend Jon Stewart had the heroic Peter Schiff on the Daily Show yesterday evening, and I thought the interview went pretty well. As some have mentioned already, typical cable news commentators rarely even let Schiff talk more than a moment or two, but Stewart is anything but typical. Perhaps one of his most endearing qualities is that he actually lets real conversations take place. Anyway, the result of Schiff actually having time to speak results in him loading a ton of material into a short amount of time. Hopefully the message was not lost, because Schiff dropped a bomb on the Daily Show audience. Here’s the clip:

I can only hope Peter actually runs for Senate… that would be excellent. And I’m quite impressed that Jon Stewart gave him a fair chance.

Crap, I switched the embedded vid from comedycentral.com b/c youtube is a lot simpler… I’ll have to re-do it.

Wow, some of the comments on the Comedy Central website about this clip are just PRICELESS. “Get Krugman on for intelligent discussion on what actually happened.” Really? Really???

I’m watching it right how. The money quote: “Everyone was drunk on the government Kool-Aide.”

Loved that interview!

Schiff confirmed what I have been telling students in a class of mine. We are reading Brink Lindsey’s “Age of Abundance.” I give them a three point strategy on solving the economy and many of the world’s problems:

1) Buy only what you have cash to afford.
2) Save and invest money and defer gratification.
3) Volunteer your service and skills to help the less fortunate in our society.

Schiff’s blast of the notion of credit was right on. He made me a fan right off.
