Audio: Bryan on the Tammy Bruce Show
posted at 2:30 pm on July 6, 2007 by Bryan
I think this was the first time that any radio show led a segment with audio from a Vent, or at least a Vent that I hosted. Tammy kicked off our chat today with the first portion of the NBC’s Emotional Terrorism Vent, and we proceeded from there to talk about that story and the hijab story. Tammy, as usual, made the best points. And I’m not just saying that because she said flattering yet preposterous things about me.

Tammy Bruce is 100% pure awesome. I wish the radio stream on the Intarwebs was free instead of a premium service, but whatever. I’ll take what I can get of her and her brilliance.
Mindcrime on July 6, 2007 at 2:37 PM
this story is going to filter its way up to Fox News atleast….Bill O’reilly will jump all over this next week.
jp on July 6, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Yeah right after they lead a newscast with the Michael Yon story from al Hamira.

LakeRuins on July 6, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Yeah, still waiting on the al Hamira story.

Excellent interview Bryan. Great job explaining a complex subject very simply and clearly re the armor.
However, it ain’t appeasement when you’ve actually got troops in their lands killing jihadists. It’s Subterfuge to tell them, “hey, we love ya,” while you’re bust sending so many to meet Allah.
TheBigOldDog on July 6, 2007 at 2:51 PM
i meant the NBC story, O’reilly loves to bash NBC
jp on July 6, 2007 at 2:52 PM
Not sure what an Intarweb is, but if you check out tammybruce.com there’s a link to listenlive and it’s free.
Also not real sure what I’m doing, first post so I’m still getting a handle on the bells and whistles…bear with me, I’m old :-)

Great interview Bryan… you adorable cutie you!

There are so many firsts in life – you did perfectly. Now you’re no longer a HA virgin :)
I’ll watch video tinight – am convinced BP and TB were great, as usual.

Tammy Bruce is truly a unique conservative. She, like myself, was a stauch supporter of the liberal agenda. After maturing and gaining more of an understanding of the forces that are constantly working against this country and its core values, a lot of people are beginning to work to preserve those qualities that make us the most wonderful nation on earth. Do we have problems? Of course we do, but tearing our country down weakens our country instead of strengthening it to overcome the inadequacies that can always be resolved. Protect your core values and they will take care of you.
volsense on July 6, 2007 at 3:20 PM
Oldnuke, intarweb is a just a goofy word for internet, probably originated as a goof on people who are clueless about it.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 3:21 PM
volsense, she’s a libertarian, I think.
Bryan, she almost sounded like she might go straight for you with all those compliments.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 3:26 PM
Ah, so it is! Thanks! I must have looked the wrong link. (Staring a computer all day makes me a wee bit cross eyed at times).
Mindcrime on July 6, 2007 at 3:35 PM
I guess you don’t actually watch or listen to Bruce. If you did, you might notice that she likes to pretend to be a liberal so she can claim absolute moral authority because, “I’m saying this as a member of the Left”. Yeah, right, give me a break.
Fragility on July 6, 2007 at 3:49 PM
Well, there’s some news, even lesbians can tell when a guy is cute. She could soooo go straight some day. Look out Bryan.
j_ehman on July 6, 2007 at 3:50 PM
Don’t feed the troll.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 3:52 PM
No joke. She called you cute more times than I could count.
It sounded like a lot of flirting, especially from someone of her personal tastes.
Esthier on July 6, 2007 at 3:53 PM
Heh, hope Tammy doesn’t mind us goofing on her for complimenting Bryan.
I like Tammy, I haven’t heard her on radio other than HA clips, but she’s always good when she’s on Fox.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 3:58 PM
Hey Bryan, I lived next door to one of the Apollo 11 astronauts in July of 1969. My dad worked for TRW. It was quite the thing. First time I ever saw a microwave dish. Those reporters from back East really got a dose of Texas summer weather.
You should have seen the splashdown party. I never saw so many astronaut groupies get thrown in the Nassau Bay Motor Hotel pool in my life. My cousin and I were too young to party, but we had a summer pool pass. We just dog paddles around with our masks on, and dove every time another groupie got tossed in. The things I saw as the party raged on all around us. They couldn’t throw us out.
As a former space guy, I’m sure you understand.
saiga on July 6, 2007 at 3:59 PM
From her site:
NOW is really about as liberal as a woman can get. She supports the War on Terror and common sense, but with creds like that, she doesn’t have to fake being a liberal.
Or let’s just pretend for a moment that she became the president of the LA chapter of NOW just so she could pull out a Moral Authority Card later on in life, personally, I’d say she earned it and at the very least knows what she’s talking about in reference to Lefties, having lived among them like Jane and her apes.
Esthier on July 6, 2007 at 4:01 PM
It’s best to just ignore Fragility, Esthier. He likes to come in here and stir the hornet’s nest with nonsensical arguments, most likely so he can run back to his blog at HuffPo or whichever other bridge he lives under and type stuff like ‘lawls! those Ventheads are teh stupid! U shuld see wut I sed this time…’
Mindcrime on July 6, 2007 at 4:04 PM
Excellent sound clip, Bryan.
Tammy Bruce is a formidable force to be reckoned with. Right up there with The Boss and Mary Katharine.
Jack.
Jack Deth on July 6, 2007 at 4:05 PM
But I bet David Brock hasn’t earned it, right?
Gotta love the double standards.
Fragility on July 6, 2007 at 4:06 PM
LOL

Who????
Esthier on July 6, 2007 at 4:11 PM
New Scientific Study
A recent study indicates that among Americans 49.9999% hate George W Bush because of his stance on Terrorism
Also 49.9999% hate him because of his love of illegal alien invaders
The remaining undecided .00001% is a list of people so small, we can list them here:
1. George H.W. Bush
2. Barbara Bush
3. Lora Bush
TheSitRep on July 6, 2007 at 4:28 PM
Good job Bryan. Keep that relationship with Tammy Bruce strong. She is an excellent communicator and appears to be fairly open-minded. She, Michelle and KP need to develop a web show together.
And not to start a debate but as much as I love MK she’s just not in the same league with Michelle, KP and Tammy,, yet. (let the clobbering begin)
realVerse on July 6, 2007 at 4:35 PM
Tammy’s blog is a daily Must Read. She’s not only brilliant, she’s fearless – a rare combination. Not only that, she has excellent taste in women (as anyone who’s seen her babe posts can confirm) and a great sense of humor.
Like David Horowitz, being on the far left and then seeing the light arms one with invaluable inside knowledge and motivational fire. Tammy’s a treasure.
Halley on July 6, 2007 at 4:47 PM
I just love how open-minded people like you are. Clearly you know me so well that you don’t even need to wait for my response before you type it up yourself.
I don’t even know who David Brock is, so I can’t comment on whether or not he’s earned it, nor can I comment on whether or not his experience with Republicans (I’m assuming you’re talking about a man who was Republican then turned Democrat) is as extensive as Tammy Bruce’s.
But really, we’re talking about a woman who was a head of one of the most liberal organizations in America in one of the most liberal cities in America who still is pro-choice and who still considers herself a member of the Democrat party.
Again, I don’t know who this guy is, but unless he founded CPAC, I have a hard time figuring out how his creds would match hers.
So, the answers is… maybe.
Esthier on July 6, 2007 at 4:59 PM
What happened to Real Verse anyway?
Esthier on July 6, 2007 at 5:00 PM
Naturally, you’re a conservative, you live in an isolated bubble and you don’t know much about the other side (even though you spend most of your time trashing it). Have you considered the magic of google?
Or dare I say, wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Brock
Fragility on July 6, 2007 at 5:04 PM
No, she was the head of the local NOW chapter in Los Angeles. She didn’t run the national organization.
No she doesn’t, she votes Republican and laments the Democratic Party and says she’s no longer a member. She still claims to be a “liberal”, but she’s anti-gun control, anti-affirmative action, pro-war, etc…
Fragility on July 6, 2007 at 5:08 PM
So you point to a guy who was a paid attack dog on the right who became an paid attack dog stooge of George Soros, and that’s supposed to impress me?
Sounds like he just found a better paying job getting that sweet, sweet Soros money, and used teh gheyness as, uh, his out.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 5:12 PM
If you have spent decades listening to her, you would know that she is a true Democrat. She headed up the NOW organization in Calif., and NOW, in Calif., to the largest NOW org. in the country. When the Democratic party begin to go off the deep end and move into the extreme liberal postition, when NOW became hyper political, and cared less about women rights, then the policly of the left, she resigned.
As an orginal Democrat, she is more aligned with the Republican right than she is with the looney left. She still holds true to her Democrat beliefs (strengthen the middle class, lower taxes, increase the industry, strong defense of our nation, etc.), and defends them well. It is just that she does not buy into the looney left takeover of the Democrat party. Good for us conservatives, doing battle with someone like her would be a lot tougher than fighting truthers, silky ponies, Hillary and her fund raising fiasco’s, Michael Moores, and the rest of the crazy left wing nut cases. I always considered her the most dangerous Democrat in politics (before her talk show) because she is so rational and intelligent.

This thread is awesome. I learned that Fragility is the guy who sets the liberal agenda in America, since, according to him, if Tammy Bruce is:
she’s obviously not a “real” liberal.
Too bad he’s too wrapped up in leftie groupthink to know what true liberals used to be like in the old days, before the Left got hijacked by the moronic douche bags running it today.
Mindcrime on July 6, 2007 at 5:24 PM
Um…OK?
I just said I thought she was libertine, didn’t have to spaz out and get all pissy.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 5:28 PM
I’d hate to interrupt the troll-fest, but let’s get back to that reference to Tammy’s “babe” posts.
I had not heard about this blog feature on Tammy’s site, so I surfed on over to get educated. What I found there was…
(begin hushed, reverent silence)
Jeri Ryan listed on the “babe” page!
That does it. Tammy Bruce is now officially my favorite lesbian of all time.
Yeah, still a “Star Trek” geek even after years of deprogramming….
Anton on July 6, 2007 at 5:31 PM
Wow dude, you’re a complete genius, you managed to entirely avoid having to prove that she isn’t a liar by claiming that quite obviously Bruce is pretending to be a “classical liberal”, a political term which hasn’t been in serious use since the early 1900′s and earlier.
Yeah, she’s not a real liberal, dumbass. Because the definition of “liberal” in modern American politics is not the same as Classic Liberal. Which is libertarian. So yeah, she’s not a real liberal. She’s a libertarian who pretends to be a liberal Democrat.
By the way, there isn’t inherently anything different about the liberalism of today than the liberalism of say, forty years ago.
Abortion rights? Check
Affirmative action? Check
Social programs? Check
Opposition to unnecessary wars? Check
Too bad conservatism isn’t today what it used to be. You know, the kind practiced by Barry Goldwater, before douchebags like your ilk took over and started screaming about how evil homosexuals are and abortion, and using the federal government to “save” Terri Schiavo?
But I guess Barry Goldwater isn’t a “real” conservative.
Oh look, I can be a smartass too.
Fragility on July 6, 2007 at 5:46 PM
FTFY
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 5:49 PM
True that, Tammy has good tastes in eye candy.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 5:50 PM
Don’t be sensitive, and sorry to lump you in with fragility.
Just wanted some to know that Tammy is a true Democrat, and I respect her for that, the conservatives have an open tent and she is proof that good, honest, intelligent debate is welcome in our tent. Which is why people like fragility is still allowed to post on HA.
right2bright on July 6, 2007 at 5:50 PM
Nice try kid, fixed for clarity.
Fragility on July 6, 2007 at 5:53 PM
Please stop feeding the troll. It’s not interested in facts or debate. It’s only interested in being a nuisance, and in that, it’s succeeding.
Bryan on July 6, 2007 at 5:58 PM
FTFY.
Anyway, so what? I’m probably more libertarian minded than most conservatives too, its a big tent and you have to scrap for what you want. Its the nature of a beast that allows open thought.
And even if we were more libertarian as a total movement, you’d piss all over Goldwater and find some other person to hold up as the True Icon of Conservatism, you know, like Andrew Sullivan. You’re fooling no one, asshat.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 6:01 PM
Just ban it. Its losing its entertainment value.
Bad Candy on July 6, 2007 at 6:02 PM
But I guess Barry Goldwater isn’t a “real” conservative
Actually, he’s still dead.
Shay on July 6, 2007 at 6:33 PM
Great interview Bryan. That NBC story is leading edge stuff. NBC fakes the story, fumbles the ball, Hot Air is there to recover the fumble and runs for the touchdown! (I know, it’s baseball season but here in Steeler Country, there’s only football season and waiting for football season).
By the way, I would love to see a “Hot Air Vent” segment on FNC very soon…

Great job on the interview, Bryan.
FloatingRock on July 6, 2007 at 8:29 PM
Tammy: Great interview, and you represent that those of us who have chosen different paths in the past are capable of seeing the truth even when it is disguised as something else.
Also, Bryan as usual Hot Air and Vent will become mainstream soon (but keep the format so it does not become contaminated by the bright lights-used by interrogators). Keep a level head and keep showing the truth and exposing those who choose to deceive us in their attempts to change our minds by trying to make us feel bad.
MSGTAS on July 7, 2007 at 10:28 AM
I thought he meant KellyLe Brock. Dang!
For Jeri Ryan fans, check out the odd little post-apocalyptic comedy “THE LAST MAN”.
She shines among the Roger Corman-esque nerdiness.
