This is taken from a transcript of the appearance.
Early on Leno asks him why, if he was a qualified candidate he was left off the debate.
Paul replies:
You know, I don't know. I can speculate.
If I qualified, as you point out, that I had the
qualification, it must be they didn't want to hear the
message. Maybe they're intimidated. Maybe they're
frightened. Maybe they don't want to hear the truth.
Who knows? We'll have to figure that out.
He then states that he thinks part of it is that Fox news is tied into national policy issues and since he is a strict constitutionalist they ignore him. That's a fair point, but is this the truth he was going to tell them? This is no secret. He then mentions he is opposed to the war in Iraq, again no secret. It is not until after the commercial break that he actually starts to get into his ideals and beliefs. If you assume that these ideals and beliefs are the truths he was going to say during the debate, they too are not earth shattering. They are the same thing he has said in every other debate and he didn't string them together. He needed to say, "Fox news was afraid of the truth, they were afraid I would explain how our government just prints money when we need it and that drives down the value of our dollar." or something like that. They way he said it he came off like a guy who has some great secret he is waiting to spring on the world then he never delivers it.
