On Tuesday night I checked in with Hannity on Fox News to chew over the remorseless withering of the Hillary Clinton campaign. Sean and I discussed the politics and the criminality of her server arrangements and their consequences for American foreign policy:
Mark Steyn said on "Hannity" tonight that Hillary Clinton's emails show that U.S. allies, such as former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, were aware that she was using a private email address during her time as secretary of state.
"It's obvious that the good guys, the allies, knew the problems with her server, so we can conclude that the Russians and the Chinese and the mullahs in Tehran and all the other people did as well," Steyn said...
"This is a disaster for her, because it goes to competence, it goes to judgment, it goes to all the most basic issues you ask of a presidential candidate."
More from Breitbart News:
Steyn said that while there is "no doubt" Clinton's conduct with her email places her in legal jeopardy, "I think it does actually have a political component, when you listen to what Ed Henry was just saying about Tony Blair. Clearly all America's allies were aware of the problem with Hillary Clinton's system. And it does raise the question, how did foreign governments communicate with the secretary of state? Foreign ministers, more than heads of government get by on their personal relationships. And in this case, Hillary Clinton was unable to forge any personal relationships because by definition, communications from foreign governments are confidential and classified, for the very basic reason that if they're not, then they're not going to talk to you. So, if they can't get in touch with her, if they have to go through Huma Abedin, or Cheryl Mills, or whoever, and then those two have to somehow relay the information to Hillary Clinton, it helps explain why for the four years, it seemed like America was kind cut off from the world. All the foreign ministers can talk to each other, but none of them could talk to Hillary Clinton."

~After Hillary, Sean and I talked a little climate change with reference to my new book, "A Disgrace to the Profession" - the story of the 21st century's most famous graph and the damage it has done both to science and public policy. Tuesday was the book's launch day, and thousands upon thousands of pre-order customers woke up to the Kindle edition auto-delivered to their breakfast table. As for the old-fashioned hard copy, I'm pleased to say we're already burning through our third printing. We're the Number One climatology bestseller, with our companion volume Climate Change: The Facts at Number Nine, and both books kicking the butts of Michael E Mann's Dreary Predictions, down at Number 19. In Canada, we're bubbling under the Hot 100. I liked this comment from satisfied customer Gordon Imroth over at our Facebook page:
It arrived on my Kindle this morning. It's brilliant! Funny and devastating for Mann's cargo-cult pseudo-science.
And don't miss Brian Gardiner's review:
With A Disgrace to the Profession: The Worlds Scientists in Their Own Words - on Michael E. Mann, His Hockey Stick, and Their Damage to Science: Volume One, he doesn't so much a make it uncomfortable for Mann as eviscerate him. The book is 300-pages of climate scientists, physicists and others with Ph.D. after their name, speaking ill of Mann and his work... It seems unlikely Mann's reputation will survive his ill-advised fight with Mark Steyn.
And I've been very touched by reader mail like this, from Sean Eisenporth of Brampton, Ontario, where several of my nearest and dearest live:
Hi Mark!
I'm working my way through my autographed copy of "A Disgrace to the Profession".
For most folk, when life hands them lemons, they bitch and moan about it. You're the only person I have known who gathers those lemons, fires them at his adversaries with Sandy Koufax speed and makes a mint in the process!
I'd wish you good luck with your legal battles, but you clearly don't need it.
Sean Eisenporth
Actually, I do need it, but thanks for your kind words. They mean a lot.
~On Wednesday I'll be starting the day with Toronto's Number One morning man John Oakley live at AM 640 at 8.30am Eastern. Later join me south of the border with Buck Sexton on The Blaze, coast to coast at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific.
