tammy bruce is a new york city radio host and she joins us tonight.o, tammy, when you saw the atrocity, maybe charlottesville inspired this? >> every normal person looks at something like that and we are crushed and we know it's a touristy area, we know multiple countries will be involved, we know people were enjoying their day in a beautiful city, and just walking through a promenade , and the next thing, it was like our american who was killed on his anniversary, first year anniversary gets up to use the bathroom, walks away from his bride and he gets murdered. so these are the things that remind us about how things can change in a moment. but horribly for american news, americans rely on news networks to find out what's going on around the world especially in tragedies, durable splits or as an example as you played, immediately saying that as a political opportunity. but let me tell you, it's not about downplaying the event. i would argue with you in that regard. they see in that example for that network everything through the prism of heating trum

blaze tv and radio host lawns jones and tammy bruce.h trouble raising a couple bucks? is it perez is not up for the job? lawrence: it's not perez, it's a party with no strategy and can't connect with the voters or the issues. they have no message. they are not connecting with the issues facing americans which is their pocketbooks, education and immigration reform. gregg: because they engage in identity politics which is the title of your col number washington times. "the deadly impact of identity politics." can i put up a quote i plucked from the column? suddenly mr. trump was responsible for the carnage, even worse the nazis were his base, we are told, ergo all mr. trump's supporters are nazis, too. the intent was from the start to conflate the president and all concerned with the obscenity in charlottesville. tammy: trump's approval numbers were the low 40s. but as that payment new narrative that all trump supporters were all nazis, 41, 42, today it's 43%. it's one thing to have a conversation about race but it's another thing to accu

so with us now, fox news political contributor, tammy bruce, democratic strategist kevin walling as well. all right, tammy, to me looks at these numbers, the president, this is his own pollster putting them out, i know they're saying all the right things patching things up between he and senator mcconnell but he attacked so many people in his own party, there must be a method to the madness, no? >> a lot of that is of course self-defense of the we saw what happened last year, positions many people in the republican party took obviously. so i'm sure mr. trump knew when he was coming in there would be a fight. that the establishment wasn't just giving up. they weren't giving up last year but of course were defeated. beyond president trump's own pollster, quinnepiac has poll with congress. in march they were 18%. now 10%. that is 44% drop in midst of health care fight. president trump's numbers steady in the low 40s. not stellar but more than 10%. american people responded to congress being the bad guy. normally individual get voted on as individuals for their own seats, so they tend not to

tammy bruce and charlie hurt. tammy, the democrats have been crowing about bannon's ouster.a racist. virtually anyone who supports donald trump is a racist. i harken back to the 1950s. there was a moment when mccarthy went too far where he essentially said everybody is a communist. that's when people started to say, have you no shame? i wonder if we reached that point where nancy pelosi and the democratic national committee is saying everybody is a racist. tammy: they don't know where to stop. we saw this last year. this is not a new attack. it culminated last year with hillary saying donald trump voters are deplorable and homophobic and exenophobic -- and xenophobe i can and sexist. two days ago when the piling on began. it is bad enough to accuse the president of something that's not the case. but then they started saying these were his supporters. his poll numbers began to go up. he's up in the rasmussen poll. 24/with these attacks. but i think when people see this and hear this, americans tend to generally be quiet if they are not on the far left or extreme right. but we

tammy bruce and former d.c. party chair, scott bolton. what does this tell you?are the political implications of this as you watch this play out? >> i'll tell you this. it does go a step further. it heightens the political ramifications because man for the now -- i'm a form prosecutor. manafort is either a target or subject of this investigation. this was a search warrant. they are look for something they don't have. that:mean either he's flying them, he's misleading him or they have information after his interview, they compared to what he told them to what they had before, it didn't match up and the next day they had the search warrant. gerri: what you say brings up a good question for her. it sounds like maybe this is good news for donald trump. if the investigation is going to focus on manafort does that mean good news for donald trump? tammy: obviously he was the campaign manager for a little bit of time. and he has a long history of being a lobbyist for foreign governments. this happened one month after he finally registered as a foreign agent. so that's in

i nearly walked out of the roomu the great tammy bruce is with us. i've got to say this, tammy.ou know, susan rice is and people like her -- the reason we are at this point. for 24 years, the susan rices of the world have told us there's nothing to worry about. nothing to worry about. nothing to worry about. now suddenly she says, oh, it's a nuclear north korea we have to live with it, get over it. >> like the arsonist telling you not to put out the fire, it would be too dangerous. everybody knows susan rice everybody has a history of really being a pawn, if you will, of saying things that are not true about international affairs. aboutte benghazi. why president trump is the president. we get it, it's astoundingng thy still are present, speaking as, though they've been dropped in from mars and had nothing to do with the last eight years. and i think, though, that the president is focused in this regard. i understand everybody has opinions about the nature of what is occurring here. i can tell you this, probably what had a big impact, we know it did president trump, otto warmbier

joining us now, fox news contributor tammy bruce. really distracting -- i think it is -- is it distracting from the president's accomplishments on the economy? >> they mean to. they mean to, certainly, in the media because they want headlines other than the success we've seen economically that the president has already accomplished. they want headlines than are different about the great rally in west virginia, the west virginia governor becoming a republican. in a lot of ways, this is food for the media. it doesn't have to be a distraction for the president though, of course, and this is hope any where the new chief of staff can come in, keeping him focused. he's got so many people around him. he can get his job done while also having very good people to deal with what is, ultimately, still looks like a fishing expedition by the special counsel. stuart: but this special counsel, this impaneled grand jury -- >> right, right. stuart: -- you know, it's quite possible there's nothing there. >> federal grand juries, certainly they can indi

carl higbie fox news contributor and radio talk show host tammy bruce and michael. it's not. it's not a wake-up call because we have had too many of these. you say it's a big reminder. >> it is. look, since january, there have been seven vehicular attacks in europe. three in london. we know, of course, that we have got an issue not just with immigrants and refugees, but first generation citizens of these countries. but this is also supposed to be gigantic. you had this explosion last month. there are 20 gas canisters that they intended to use. what we saw, this horrific dynamic that we saw in barcelona was plan b. obviously this is not just in barcelona or spain. it's all throughout europe. this is the issue. this is why england is dealing with brexit and they want to effectively secure their borders. especially with the middle east as we have more gain with dealing with isis and they lose their ground there, they're returning home. they are spreading like a cancer. and taking the jihad to western civilization to the western world. and this is the other thing that i

steve: tammy bruce is joining us right now. said and there's terrific divisions. this, in fact, is part of a political process. we've seen it before. this generation doesn't recall the nature of what's happened in the past. president reagan again while he was running for governor of california had an opponent refer to him and compare him to john booth. and just even with the founders. there's always been horrible, terrific fights. but i think what president reagan did that could inform president trump is that when under attack. and especially when you first launched his campaign at a state fair when dealing with issues. steve: they still talk about this. >> yeah. that you've got a dynamic where the media and the president are experiencing this now. is going to find issues in the surrounding area. in that case, it was about civil rights and the murder of civil rights activist. and that president reagan's commitment to states' rights was they said a dog whistle for racism. and, of course, what he had to do then when he had just t

fox news contributor and radio talk show tammy bruce. >> nice to be on the kirby couc.e should have been focusing on, you say not only do they exist but i'm kind of one of them. >> yeah, i've been a democrat all my life. i voted for barack obama in the primary in 2008 and it was so disheartening to me to do that, i liked hillary less, but i then became an independent. and what we're looking at here -- and this is the problem for the democrats right now -- this is not really even a partisan argument. the fact is something happened, and i'll give you some numbers. near 46,000 pennsylvania republicans switched parties, they were so upset. pete: not just votes, parties. >> they became republicans. the same thing in massachusetts as an example, deep blue massachusetts, nearly 20,000 democrats at least became republicans last year alone. so you're looking at, they may not be democrats now, but they certainly used to be. and even still, this is an argument now where people who used to just vote for the party, straight party ticket, are now voting not for their party or for a f

what do you say to that, tammy bruce?tuff and i think what people like al gore and others from the ivy league framework, know it alls think a man like that is just dumb, that is their mistake. they mistake the american voter is dumb. a guy who lives on the beach. he is a grabber. al gore is ready to patronize him. here is this guy who has a facility at the water, since 1970, knows the water level and it is not going down. it is not going up, it is not going down. it is not where it was. he said it is erosion, beach erosion. this is what is affecting it. this is what is valuable for americans to see. he wants a seawall because of the erosion. the problem is, because we all care about environment. we care about that island being affected. when you have nonsense like what al gore is spewing, we don't deal with maybe some real solutions we can provide and deal what this man is experiencing, what the island is experiencing when we get down to the truth of the matter that might not make al gore rich. he is not into sea walls. h

we have tammy bruce. >> in any situation like this there will be politics surrounding an addressing howehaves in this kind of a situation in a position where his statements can make a huge difference how the nation looks at serious issues. at same time i think being specific about all of what is going on in this environment, the toxic political environment, identity politics which leads to this kind of madness, whether nazis, white supremacists, black supremacists all of that we're looking at even violence against law enforcement, we've been dealing with that for years, these things have to now being dealt with specifically. i think president trump is the person who can do that. i believe he sees this as a larger construct of violence and problems in the country. that his first instinct. in order to deal with this in the heart and dealing with it specifically, we've got to name it, just like look, we've been demanding we name islamist terrorists for a reason. stuart: right. >> we have to name every single part of this. i think it can only be helpful. i suspect he will do more of that to
