John McCain, Arizona senator & former Republican presidential candidate, joins the show Wednesday to discuss what he learned debating Obama in 2008 that Romney needs to know for Wednesday night's showdown.

Hahaha. McCain has no idea what show he's going on.

[EBounding]

lol He'd be better off going on Limbaugh.

[green73]

Can we get Robert Wenzel to interview him? Schiff will give him a relative softball.

[low preference guy]

Yeah, Wenzel will say: You didn't read "Anatomy of the state" by Rothbard, seriously? You're a moron!

[XTreat]

Dick Morris hung up on Schiff. Great interview.

Yeah McCain is walking into a buzzsaw and hasn't got a clue.

Schiff's too hawkish for my taste, but even he won't let McCain off the hook (I hope). What a disgusting human being McCain is.

[AlexAmore]

Dick Morris lasted 2 1/2 minutes of truth bombing. Certainly hilarious.

I do wonder if it would be better for Schiff to not come on so strong. Maybe talk them through their stupid ideas so they have a self-realization. I honestly don't care too much either way. I just say this so maybe McCain will stick around for a little longer.

I'm not sure if I'd call McCain disgusting. I think he's more misinformed and a product of his environment than anything else.

Misinformed and a product of his environment?? He's the one putting out the mis-information. He's helped create the current environment. The dude helped create NDAA. That is DISGUSTING! What are you going to say next? George Bush was a victim of the "environment" too?

He will if he thinks it will get a response out of you.

I know a guy who used to do some work for him around his AZ home. He said McCain is a nice guy, until you piss him off. Then his evil shines through.

[Origanalist]

John McCain is a nice guy, he just doen't like Hobbits.

That's what I was thinking. Schiff is great on economics, not so good on foreign policy.

Well was it any good?

A large chunk of the interview was taken up by McCain arguing with Schiff that Medicare isn't theft. McCain could only say that people paid into it and deserved to get it back. Schiff argued that the money has been spent and people are victims of ponzi schemes, and stealing from younger generations to pay off the victims of ponzi schemes IS theft.

Schiff took one big shot at McCain, saying he wouldn't vote for him in '08 b/c he voted for the bailouts and supported the big govt. Bush policies. McCain tried to sidestep by saying that he's willing to take "lumps" for how his campaign was run.

During the interview, McCain attacked Obama over his support for the stimulus. Too bad Schiff didn't counter that both McCain (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/jan-june09/stimuluspass_02-13.html)and Romney (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/226567/republican-stimulus-plan/mitt-romney)argued for a stimulus bill, just not the one that Obama wanted.
McCain: The nation needs a stimulus bill. The nation expects that Congress and the president to act in a truly bipartisan manner to address this crisis. But, unfortunately, this measure is not bipartisan. It contains much that is not stimulative. And it's nothing short -- nothing short of generational theft

Romney: On the spending front, infrastructure projects should be a high priority. But because infrastructure projects involve engineering, environmental studies, permitting and contracting, they can take a long time to actually boost the economy. Spending to refurbish and modernize our military equipment is urgently needed, and it has a more immediate impact on the economy. A great deal of our armament was damaged or lost in the Middle East, and the rest is long overdue for maintenance.

Too bad Schiff didn't pounce on him and the Farce of "Suspending Campaigns 2008" to sit in on the Central banksters telling the puppet politicians to do with the people's money and future.

McCain is a joke of a puppet to the money masters, pure passive aggorance to the people.

Schiff's too hawkish for my taste

I've only seen or read his economic views. Do you or anyone else have any snippets of his foreign policy views?

[jbauer]

Not that Schiff is going to change Mccains opinion on anything but wouldn't it be better to debate rather then yell?

[jmdrake]

Schiff's too hawkish for my taste, but even he won't let McCain off the hook (I hope). What a disgusting human being McCain is.

Hopefully Schiff will stick to economic issues. I'd love to see a question like "Mr. McCain. Your co-support with Obama of the TARP bailout basically took the most important economic issue of the day off the table. And now Romney has taken healthcare off the table by first being the blueprint for Obamacare and then saying he wouldn't repeal all of Obamacare. So why isn't this just history repeating itself?"

To be fair to Schiff, I think he was just pandering and trying to avoid making himself unelectable via foreign policy. And Rand's said worse.

Actually his views are pretty close to Paul's (non-intervention) but is more hawkish on Iran and if he had verifiable evidence they were developing nukes, he would use the military to destroy those nuclear facilities

Schiff started off good. But then he let McCain set the agenda IMO. It became an argument over whether seniors deserved to get out what they put in. Schiff should have asked McCain about the fact that Romneycare includes a mandate, Romney said that he wanted to take Romneycare national, and that Romney says he wants to keep parts of Obamacare! Make people like McCain answer the question "What parts of Obamacare are worth keeping". That's their soft spot.

Has Schiff expanded his listenership by add more affiliates or is he still just doing the internet show which is also broadcast on CT radio?

The show this Summer was picked up by Radio America and Schiff has gone national when he took over G. Gordon Liddy's timeslot: http://www.radioamerica.org/PRG_schiff.htm
Actually he had gone national earlier than that w/ a different network but most stations just aired rebroadcasts on the weekend.

WHY would McCain agree to this? Must have been some 20 year old staffer saying, "who is this peter schiff guy?"
