Greg Gutfeld Show

I joined The Greg Gutfeld Show. Here are my time linked comments. Note: Some of you say that the time links don't work, so for those unfortunate souls I have provided the actual time alongside the link.

5m57s - Democratic Convention was good in celebrating patriotism on final night, but bad in the sense that Hillary is a fundamentally flawed candidate

10m17s - Challenging Tyrus, a professional wrestler, who insinuated off camera that I wasn't an American! And noting that Hillary is a professional lobbyist veiled in public service titles

16m47s - Thanking Greg for crediting my McLaughlin Group prediction on June 26th, that Russia was responsible for the DNC hack! Noting that the true scandal over Trump's email comments is that Clinton willfully abandoned her responsibilities as Secretary of State

28m58s - Arguing Clinton's spending plans are absurd in the context of her taxation plans and the exploding national debt - as CBO noted

34m23s - Panel was asked to think of a new Olympic sport. I suggest making Daesh fighters swim across False Bay, South Africa...

36m51s - Joking about transitions, and noting why the U.S. will remain the world's exceptional nation whatever happens in November

DNC Hack

On the June 25th episode of The McLaughlin Group, I predicted that Russia was responsible for the DNC hack. Others in the media are now reporting that the US Govt believes this to be true.

My time linked comments:

Donald Trump's RNC speech was good and will be rendered into polling changes. Clinton's problem is that her speech will be full of uncosted proposals (exchange with Eleanor)

Conventions are supposed to be about pageantry versus procedure - at least since 68

Erdogan hates political opposition, we should remove nukes, and we must not accept his abuse of democratic rights

Turkey will have to leave NATO if Erdogan continues centralizing power under autocracy

Exchange over extraditing Gulen to Turkey. Pat made a joke off camera - hence my laugh

Why Russia must be banned from the Rio Olympics

Possibility of some Russian athletes attending Rio under the IOC banner

Why the Iran deal is proving disastrous

Challenging Eleanor's contention that all Iran deal opponents are working for Israeli interests, and noting that the major economic impact from the deal deals will flow to IRGC

The IRGC owns many of the companies in Iran

Iran's actions around the Middle East are inherently malevolent and it is ridiculous that the IRGC is the main benefactor of the Iran nuclear deal (see my relevant articles)

PREDICTION: Agreeing with Eleanor and Pat, and saluting the heroism of Levi Shirley

Federalist Radio (with time links!!)

Joined The Federalist for a radio sitdown. I love the flexibility - time wise - that radio offers. Here's the report, and here is the audio link! And here are some time links:

Absurdity of claiming that terrorism does not pose an existential threat to society 
(A related article I wrote post Brussels)

On the problem of qualifying the injustice of Islamist terrorist attacks
(The Article I reference)

Tensions between France and President Obama over CT related issues

Europeans have become more inclined to identify the specific problems within political Islam as evidenced by Daesh

Daesh threat to Germany and (16m40s) embracing Muslim reformation
(The Dusseldorf article I reference)
(Florida Mosque Article I reference)

Immigration was important to Brexit outcome, but in public service demands

Skill of Fox News online reporters and BBC potential to report heavily

Talking about trolling people on Facebook

Andrea Leadsom was pathetic in her UK PM campaign

Being a Star Trek fan

Christian Slater, the caviar whore
See the scene here!

American exceptionalism rendered in the fiction of the Second World War
The Schindler's List scene I mention, the Longest Day scene I mention

President Obama has blown US relations in Eastern Europe

The objective of the infantry is simple, but it is hard for liberals to accept

My time linked comments:

Pence is a safe but uninspiring VP pick from Trump, but Trump will benefit from Nice attacks. Also noting neither Trump nor Clinton has a robust CT strategy

Ginsburg should not have criticized Trump, Independent non-partisan judiciary is critical element of American exceptionalism

Jeb Bush will not sway voters. People have made their mind up about Trump, whether it's positive or negative

Sanders can attract younger voters to HRC, Pence cannot do same for Trump

Answer to E Question: Ginsburg will not recuse herself from Trump related cases

Trump has used veterans as a partisan tool, his comments on John McCain remain outrageous. His veterans proposals are not new. We need to enforce anti-fraud efforts at VA, and take advantage of bipartisan opportunities for new treatment efforts for veterans

As a government bureaucracy, reform at the VA will inevitably be slow and patchy

PTS treatment options reflect mental wounds

Society addiction issues reflect absent support bonds and depersonalized relationships

Deterring China in East and South China Seas requires calibration between deterrent force - in a way that has capacity - and calculation against Chinese inferiority complex

China has successfully bought US allies - like UK - support for countering their island construction

Prediction: France will escalate against Daesh in aftermath of Nice attack. And their motto to Daesh will be 'Qu'ils mangent de la mort'

My time linked comments:

Young black men don't trust Police. That would be redressed by police body cameras. But there is a specific criminality problem in black communities

Noting that we don't see the actual shooting in the Minnesota video

Comey could not prosecute Clinton, but has affirmed she is a pathological liar. Also noting Clinton Foundation may still be target of a public corruption probe, and Hillary Clinton would lose her clearance if she was a government employee

Exchange with Eleanor about Clinton and whether the email incident is 'jaywalking'

The Clinton email debacle now rests with the judgment of the American people

Clinton has been indicted as a liar but prosecutors must only pursue cases where they have confidence in ability to convict beyond reasonable doubt

Joking with Clarence about his assessment that Clinton is the least bad of two options

ISIS is surviving in global terrorism capability, we must take key border crossing points and continue our deployment escalation of SOF and we must give arms to the Anbari tribes 

(National Review - 3 Observations on Baghdad bombings - I mention can be found here)

Suggesting European ISIS threat is significant (see relevant writings here)

Israeli Palestinian peace process is not on near-term horizon, but island project is good

Barak-Clinton Camp David 2000 deal for was good and Yasser Arafat was an idiot. Off-camera responding to Pat on the fact that 2008 Olmert peace plan was David 2000 similar

My time linked comments:

Joking with JM about his test question on statistics for smoking deaths, noting that banning young smoking is good, but over-regulation of adults is bad

Pat notes end-of-life costs and I joke about the panel and reducing costs for my generation

Regulations destroy investment and wealth creation

Conservatives must point to destructive impact of liberal regulations fetishism 

(my relevant Opportunity Lives articles - 1 + 2)

Personal responsibility is key in not smoking or taking drugs and millennials must realize what drug dealers do in source nations. Challenging Pat on legalizing Cocaine

Adults suffer excessive tobacco regulation

Corruption is far lower in US than in Europe and Russia - teasing Pat about my citizenship - and noting that political corruption is always a betrayal of sacred values

A very funny moment as JM gets passionate about rotting fish

Invictus games are about Military personnel understanding the nation values them in tangible ways - and high competition

Pat says Prince Harry admired for his service, I joke he's also admired for his Las Vegas trips

Prediction: Hillary Clinton was face big challenges over her support of Obamacare
