    Greg:

    Can the left ever wane if they’re in our brains? What can be done to change the shape of the culture wars? Aside from programs on FoxNews, a channel on cable– they have them there– what do you see as a potential game-changer for the libertarian/right?

    Why is the right considered unfunny, when the far left has no sense of humor?  Ever try to get a feminist or animal rights activist to laugh?

    What actor should be cast as you in the story of your life? How about Dean Winters, the guy who plays “Mayhem” in the Allstate commercials?

    Why do they pre-empt Red Eye at 3:00am to rehash “breaking” stories when there’s no new information?

    We already heard about the ebola guy (or whatever) at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00… At 3:00 we want Red Eye!

    Is there a certain number of months beyond which it’s Not Cool to keep promoting a book?

    Besides the ones you’ve written, what are a few books you think every American should read before being allowed to vote (if they made such a requirement)?

    Didn’t you dial it back just a bit a few years ago? Nothing wimpy, just shrewd adapting to a wider viewership. The jokey, provocative “Male Call” graphics were toned down; Courtney Friel no longer graced the Abcam; no one was worse than Hitler anymore.  But the gags were just as good.

    All the great artists retouch their work.

    1) What would you say to young people who are now becoming disillusioned with the Obama mystique?

    2) What event, or events in your life led you to develop a more conservative/libertarian viewpoint?

    3) What is the best way to get a Spider Monkey high?

    Why do you have such terrible taste in music? Were you dropped really, really hard on the head when your lovely mum wasn’t looking?

    You’re so sensible otherwise.

    Mr. Gutfeld, no doubt you have previously done so and I missed it but I wonder if you can be tempted to respond here once again to what I can only assume is Media Matters incredibly brilliant and in depth review of a book you authored. To recap:

    Gutfeld’s winding road to right-wing punditry began as a student at UC-Berkeley during the 1980s. There he developed hatred for the left rooted in splenetic tendencies and cultural resentments more than any engagement with campus protest. Thirty years later, Gutfeld still doesn’t know anything about the era he says forged his political identity…

    …Gutfeld’s book is a crash course in Jerk Studies, a collection of conversational riffs and rants on America’s “poop stars” and “vagina demagogues.” Together they explain why, if you hold The Joy of Hate to your ear like a conch, you will hear not the ocean, but the sound of a particular brand of wiseass white entitlement accelerating its long slide down the wrong side of history…

    …The key to Greg Gutfeld is found not far from here, in his adolescent obsession with a hierarchy of “cool” and his not-so-secret yearning for approval by whatever Olympian culture committee he imagines designates such things…

    By any chance have you finally seen the light and are now prepared to recant thy heresies?

    As an aside, “splenetic”? Seriously who uses a word such as splenetic?

    I agree with the person above who suggested that the left is somewhat humor impaired.  What do you think is the reason for this?  I admit that Colbert and Stewart are sometimes funny, but a lot less funny than they think.  Too much of their humor is just mugging for the camera after ridicule of reasonable positions.  Unfortunately they have an outsized influence on the youth.  How can the right use humor more effectively?  Could we use it to draw young people to our side?  Would it work to have a faux news show that leans right, or would it just be seen as a copycat move?

    Also, which of the likely presidential contenders do you think has the best sense of humor?  How could he or she use this effectively in the campaign?

    May be an uncomfortable question, but will we see Gavin McInnes back as a guest at some point?  Or possibly Bill Schulz?  I’d love to see him stop in from time to time.  Since Andy Schulz is still a regular guest, it at least appears the separation was amicable.

    In any case, love the show, and thank you for doing what you do.

    Greg, do not listen to the comments above that say you have awful taste in music.  Your musical taste is awesome.  And you should listen to the Creepshow.
