Brad on The Mike Malloy Show

Share article:

Just off the air from the Mike Malloy show. And yes, before I came on he did comment that when touched the screen of the Diebold voting machine he used to vote in today’s Georgia primary, it was touching the ass of Satan. If you missed it, his interview with me follows. It was a lively one. We discussed trouble at the Georgia primaries, the Busby/Bilbray sleepover mess, Diebold skullduggery in the California Secretary of State’s office, and all manners of democracy crumbling.

He asked me to stay over for an additional segment after the top of the hour, when we had a….skeptic call in from Sacramento who believes I’m “a phony.” Which is always fun, of course. Glad to meet the critics. Enjoy…

Brad on Mike Malloy Show, 7/18/06 [MP3, appx 40 mins]

Also, I had meant to post this a couple of weeks ago, so will take the opportunity to do so now before I hit the road for the next bunch of weeks and may become scarcer than I’d like (but I really need a break. Big time. So please forgive me) This is audio from the Ed Schultz when NBC/HBO sports anchor Jim Lampley was sitting in for Schultz show a day or two after our Emergency Busby/Bilbray Townhall in San Diego. I’m on with him for just a quick few minutes, but he gave one of the kindest and most generous introductions I’ve ever received. Lampley is a terrific hero himself, and was kind enough to show up to support us at the San Diego event with his wife Bree Walker (whose new show in Los Angeles, I hope to be doing soon as well. Like Lamps, she’s aces!)

    I liked the way you handled yourself with that “skeptic”. I laughed when he eventually explained that one of his primary sources was the Diebold salesman!

    Brad:

    Primo performances as usual!

    Funny Mike should tell you to do your own radio show, eh?! For those of you who don’t know — Brad once had his own radio show (I miss THOSE persistent technical problems, btw).

    I think Mike Malloy asked a great question to that “skeptic”.

    “Why would you want to trust these machines?”

    He wouldn’t answer the question.

    The tactics used by more sophisticated “skeptics” are more nuanced however. They pretend to be for fair elections, but they never come out and say explicitly what their opinions are on Diebold and other computer voting systems. They use a “soft” approach.

    That question Malloy poses will betray their motivations (or stupidity), as well.

    You rock Brad; again it was a great interview. I have heard several you have done and this is my fav so far. Of course Malloy and you together, what a heavenly combo.

    BTW I think it is time we co-opt the word conservative, or at least not let these religious fascists not use the word w/o a challenge. What do they conserve? Not our environment, not our family values, not peace, not even our democracy. They are the radicals; we are the conservatives, NO?

    Glad you now have a chance to catch up on some rest Brad. Peg C noticed that you looked a bit worn out a while back.

    Thanks to Malloy and Lampley for helping you spread the word … even tho many will not want to hear it.

    Me, too. You’re just not funky enough anymore, Brad. 🙂

    Really, another wonderful interview. Great job as always.

    Have fun on the vacation.

    We need more guys like Jeff from Sacramento to ask those questions, (softballs really) so you can hit ’em out of the park man. It helps people who are too shy or have other reasons not to step forward and be skeptical…bring em on! Brad you are the best.

    Great interview Brad – did ya get some sleep during those long commercial and news breaks?

    Do a reverse lookup on Jeff and I’ll go over and talk some sense into him. 🙂

    He sounded kind of old and frail, I’ll try to not rear up in front of him. 😉

    That skeptic that called in was a riot!

    He sounded so fragile.

    So concerned about our trust in voting being harmed by Brad.

    Reminded me of an old episode of “Night Court” when a REAL slow guy approaches the bench and takes about two minutes to say:

    I’ll ——————–be——————-brief.

    Judge Harry T. Stone looks like he’s going to break!

    One of the longer, and best, interviews yet. Be sure and take Mike up on his offer to have you back on Brad!

    Funny you should say that, 99 – BB2’s prose certainly doesn’t look bluish to me…
