The McLaughlin Group - July 23rd - CBS-NY + PBS Nationwide

FULL EPISODE

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
