1. 0:00Journal continues at the table now a
2. 0:02gentleman named Andrew Breitbart who is
3. 0:04publisher of something called
4. 0:05breitbart.com and before we get to the
5. 0:08issues that you uh talk about tell us a
6. 0:11little bit about who you are what you do
7. 0:14and what you hope to accomplish that's a
8. 0:15difficult one to answer that's why I
9. 0:17don't even have business cards because I
10. 0:18don't have a a title I I I I guess I I
11. 0:22do a lot of New Media um I have a
12. 0:24website breitbart.com which is a news
13. 0:27aggregation Source um and all years I've
14. 0:31been on the internet all I've cared
15. 0:33about were the newswires I figured out
16. 0:35that that's where the action is when you
17. 0:37watch CNN and Fox News and somebody
18. 0:39breaks in with a story and they act like
19. 0:41somebody in that building actually
20. 0:43discovered that story and reported on it
21. 0:46it's invariably the Associated Press or
22. 0:48Reuters and and I also have aan France
23. 0:51press the French newswire and the three
24. 0:54of them in my mindset uh keep me up to
25. 0:58date in in this you know 24/7 news cycle
26. 1:01so I created a that website in in 2005
27. 1:05just for the news wires but the goal was
28. 1:07to Brand myself I I I didn't want to do
29. 1:11it in my name but my father-in-law and
30. 1:13my neighbor across the street U Mike
31. 1:15silver said I was crazy not to do it in
32. 1:18my name and I I don't regret it right
33. 1:19now but what I wanted to do was create a
34. 1:22news organization from from the bottom
35. 1:24up and I realized that the way to do it
36. 1:26was with the newswires and so what I've
37. 1:28been doing over the the last year is
38. 1:31create a series of group blogs that's
39. 1:33the next layer in in my plan so we
40. 1:35started one called Big Hollywood that
41. 1:37was the first one and we just that was
42. 1:39in January of this year and we're
43. 1:43launching we launched big government uh
44. 1:45on September 10th uh uh with with the
45. 1:48acorn story so that's the second of a
46. 1:50series of group blogs the model is to
47. 1:53have an editor in charge of that subject
48. 1:55that knows that subject I was a c
49. 1:57student in high school I was a sea
50. 1:59student in college
51. 2:00and before a big exam that I knew I was
52. 2:02going to get a d on I needed to find the
53. 2:04best person in that class who took the
54. 2:06best notes and that's what I'm I'm
55. 2:08applying that skill set uh finding the
56. 2:10best expert on that subject the editor
57. 2:14of uh big Hollywood is John Noti I
58. 2:17called him during the Super Bowl this
59. 2:18year I said hey John are you watching
60. 2:20the Super Bowl it's a pretty good game
61. 2:22he goes no I'm watching Sudden Impact I
62. 2:24said good hire he's
63. 2:2724/7 Hollywood he understands Hollywood
64. 2:30from a center right perspective there
65. 2:31are a lot of people in Hollywood that
66. 2:33are center right they're just silent
67. 2:35about it because they're fearful of the
68. 2:37repercussion so I wanted to create a
69. 2:39website that told the American people
70. 2:41and in fact the world that it's not just
71. 2:43jinny and G's Hollywood there's another
72. 2:45side to it as well big government was
73. 2:47the second one and we've just this week
74. 2:50uh secured that we're probably going to
75. 2:52do about three more by the end of the
76. 2:54year you mentioned uh Acorn there's this
77. 2:57Acorn headline in the Washington Post
78. 2:59Duo Rel release another video of their
79. 3:02meeting with Acorn worker latest footage
80. 3:03has audio of two conservatives but not
81. 3:06of the staff member you're also quoted
82. 3:08in this piece saying Acorn has lied
83. 3:10every step of the way bring us up to
84. 3:12date on Acorn Through Your Eyes
85. 3:17well James O'Keefe came to me the
86. 3:20filmmaker having created a set of videos
87. 3:23uh in which he dressed up as um or he he
88. 3:28established a uh a premise where he was
89. 3:31trying to help create a brothel
90. 3:34featuring underage prostitutes from uh
91. 3:37El Salvador ages 13 to 15 he went to a
92. 3:41series of acorn offices to try and get
93. 3:44loans and to try and see how see if
94. 3:48Acorn would facilitate this Preposterous
95. 3:51scenario and when he showed me these
96. 3:54series of
97. 3:55videos I think it would be hard for uh
98. 3:59Eric Boler or David Brock at Media
99. 4:03Matters who are critics of this story if
100. 4:05they were legitimate journalists and
101. 4:06they saw a series of these videos in
102. 4:09which at every single one of them uh
103. 4:12multiple people often in in the videos
104. 4:15agreed with the premise of trying to
105. 4:17help the pimp and The Prostitute
106. 4:19establish the uh the prostitution ring
107. 4:22with underage girls you know from from a
108. 4:25foreign country that that I would
109. 4:28imagine that that in in a s University
110. 4:30would think this is newsworthy um if it
111. 4:33were an undercover operation of the
112. 4:36NRA in which uh people presented
113. 4:40themselves to be racist and wanted to
114. 4:43figure out a way to turn an AK-47 into a
115. 4:45you know automatic rifle and the NRA
116. 4:48said this is all you have to do I would
117. 4:50imagine that they would think that
118. 4:52that's news I would and I would figure
119. 4:54out a way to put that out there but
120. 4:57understanding the media the way that I
121. 4:58do I'm a 247 News Junkie is I understand
122. 5:02that the media has inherent biases it's
123. 5:04not a conspiracy it just happens to be
124. 5:06the truth it's it's an organic thing the
125. 5:09type of people who go into journalism
126. 5:10want to save the world I get it and that
127. 5:12they lean to the left and I had to craft
128. 5:14a strategy to get this story out so it
129. 5:18so that it would go above uh so it would
130. 5:22go past the medium matters of the world
131. 5:24which uh and the huffing and post of the
132. 5:26world which act as a firewall to protect
133. 5:28the media from covering legitimate
134. 5:30stories let me jump in and put the phone
135. 5:31numbers on the bottom of the screen for
136. 5:33Andrew Breitbart of breitbart.com he is
137. 5:35publisher Republicans call 2027
138. 5:38371 at Democrats your number
139. 5:417372 and Independence 202 628
140. 5:460205 Our Guest graduated from tane
141. 5:48University 1991 where did you grow up uh
142. 5:51Los Angeles West Los Angeles what were
143. 5:53your and who were your influences and
144. 5:56and how did uh your way of thinking
145. 5:57change over the years if it did uh my
146. 5:59influences were solely comedy when I was
147. 6:01growing up I was a David Letterman
148. 6:03addict I my license played
149. 6:04embarrassingly enough was late night um
150. 6:07I'm shamed by that it's it's I don't
151. 6:09think I've ever said that publicly but
152. 6:11certainly people in my past know that uh
153. 6:13and and Dennis Miller those were
154. 6:15probably my two favorite you know the
155. 6:18two most important influences in my life
156. 6:20and I I I was not a political person but
157. 6:23I believe that being a liberal
158. 6:25especially in Los Angeles especially in
159. 6:28Manhattan uh New York the types of
160. 6:30places that I grew up spending time in
161. 6:32are default cultural liberal places and
162. 6:35so I considered myself a liberal up into
163. 6:37the point I graduated college and then I
164. 6:40had an interesting
165. 6:43Epiphany and how what what what was that
166. 6:45when did it happen What were the
167. 6:47circumstances it was the Clarence Thomas
168. 6:49hearing it changed my life it changed my
169. 6:51life and it put the fight in me uh I I I
170. 6:56came to the Iran Contra hearings uh
171. 6:58because I like political the leader uh I
172. 7:01was an American uh I was a a student a
173. 7:04high school student who took a summer
174. 7:05program a journalism program at American
175. 7:07University but it was all a ruse so I
176. 7:09could go to the Iran Contra hearings not
177. 7:12because I had uh any you know outcome
178. 7:15that I wanted I just wanted to say I was
179. 7:16there because I felt uh I felt jipped
180. 7:20that I wasn't able to attend Watergate
181. 7:21hearings so I I went to the Iran condra
182. 7:25hearing so when I graduated from college
183. 7:28um I I I was waiting tables at a hip
184. 7:32restaurant in Venice California and I
185. 7:34and after work I I would race home to go
186. 7:37watch the the the Thomas
187. 7:39hearings I wanted him to go down based
188. 7:42upon the premise that the media set up
189. 7:44that this guy was a Serial sexual
190. 7:46harasser and basically a monster among
191. 7:48women I remember Barbara Boxer and
192. 7:51Patricia Schroeder and a series of women
193. 7:53all wearing red uh standing behind Anita
194. 7:56Hill and I wanted to see Clarence Thomas
195. 7:58taken down by the end of the week in
196. 8:01which I watched no evidence come out it
197. 8:03was M mystery evidence it was is that
198. 8:06you don't understand what it's like to
199. 8:07be a woman in the workplace but when the
200. 8:09worst thing that that came out of it was
201. 8:12that in all the years that she was with
202. 8:13him going job to job to job getting
203. 8:16raised getting promoted the worst thing
204. 8:19that he ever said at one point allegedly
205. 8:22was he said there's a pubic Care on a
206. 8:24Coke can I I remember thinking this is
207. 8:26it and Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden are
208. 8:29asking are are asking this man whether
209. 8:32or not he's rented pornography or knows
210. 8:33who longdong silver is and I I did not
211. 8:37understand a world I couldn't understand
212. 8:40what Ted Kennedy of all people with his
213. 8:42background you know letharia chap atic
214. 8:46kind of a kind of a known you know
215. 8:50carouser that this guy had the gall to
216. 8:53go after Clarence Thom I said what does
217. 8:54he know about the NAACP and the media
218. 8:57that they're not going to attack him for
219. 8:59being a racist for going after a man
220. 9:00who's raised by his gr grandparents and
221. 9:03who who was raised by sharecroppers
222. 9:05who's experiencing the epitome of the
223. 9:06American dream and once I saw the
224. 9:09Paradigm and I I that's why I call it
225. 9:12the Democrat media complex he implicitly
226. 9:14knew that his political career was safe
227. 9:17from the media for attacking a black man
228. 9:20on National Television to the calls and
229. 9:22the issues now for Andrew Breitbart
230. 9:24gaitherburg Marilyn John Republican line
231. 9:26thanks for waiting hi there hello Andrew
232. 9:28how you doing
233. 9:30Rush limbal fails to meet my
234. 9:32expectations on a daily basis by
235. 9:33mistakenly identifying the media as the
236. 9:36statun media in reality he should be uh
237. 9:40labeling the Senate and Congress and the
238. 9:42president as the government controlled
239. 9:45media because it's obvious that if
240. 9:48Russia's telling the truth every day and
241. 9:50the media is telling the uh 80% of the
242. 9:53American people that don't listen to
243. 9:54conservative talk radio something
244. 9:55completely wrong then if the media were
245. 9:58telling the truth
246. 9:59then we wouldn't have this these
247. 10:01liberals in government that we have so
248. 10:03isn't the real problem the media and you
249. 10:06seem like a pretty brave guy you went
250. 10:07after acorn in a pretty good way simply
251. 10:10put if we separate information news
252. 10:13entertainment and commentary from
253. 10:15advertisement and they have to operate
254. 10:17in the true free market system they will
255. 10:19be completely wiped out because we've
256. 10:21reached a time in our in the history of
257. 10:23our country Andrew where we have to
258. 10:24decide whether we want to have the free
259. 10:26market principles and the Constitutional
260. 10:28ideas and if we do then we're going to
261. 10:31have to separate advertisement from
262. 10:32information news entertainment and
263. 10:34commentary or we're going to let these
264. 10:37the media who's controlling Obama Pelosi
265. 10:39and Reed they're going to take over our
266. 10:40country and we're going to lose our
267. 10:42equal ownership of this country to
268. 10:44elitist control socialism got the point
269. 10:47no question but a comment any reaction
270. 10:49it's a thesis uh I regarding uh rash
271. 10:53lmau I had a strong feeling that this
272. 10:56Administration was going to be heading
273. 10:58down this path
274. 10:59uh to be when it first started to attack
275. 11:02Rush Limba uh right right out of the
276. 11:05gate I believe that was in
277. 11:07February uh and now we find ourselves in
278. 11:10in October and they're isolating Fox
279. 11:13News uh this reminds me of the college
280. 11:16campus from whence uh Barack Obama and
281. 11:19much of his minions have come uh the
282. 11:21politically correct campus that I
283. 11:23graduated from and these type of
284. 11:25stalinist you know anti-free speech um
285. 11:30tactics uh are familiar to anybody that
286. 11:33graduated from a public institution and
287. 11:35to demonize um to demonize rush limot
288. 11:39and to use false quotes against him as
289. 11:41CNN did uh to label him a racist which
290. 11:46is the worst thing that you can label a
291. 11:48person in this country uh it's the it's
292. 11:51the Battle of my life it's it's all I
293. 11:53care about I I eat breathe and sleep
294. 11:56this stuff and I want to defeat anyone
295. 11:59uh that would uh you know that would
296. 12:01that would unfairly malign people the
297. 12:04the the Sarah Palin the George bushes
298. 12:06the Michelle Bachman's the The Joe the
299. 12:09plumbers the Carri prons what do all
300. 12:11these people have in common when the
301. 12:13full weight of the media goes after
302. 12:15these people to malign them to destroy
303. 12:18them that's the power of the Democrat
304. 12:20media complex I can't think of any other
305. 12:23person uh a republican is is there are
306. 12:27two paradigms they're either evil or
307. 12:29they're stupid over and over and over
308. 12:31and over and over it's the template that
309. 12:33the mainstream media does it has to end
310. 12:37um we have a Democrat on the line Kevin
311. 12:39from Bethany Ohio on with Andrew
312. 12:42Breitbart what do he say no man I tell
313. 12:44you what I think is I'm very nervous so
314. 12:46please forgive me for being stuttering a
315. 12:48little bit but when all those names he
316. 12:51just named are people who have an agenda
317. 12:54against the left the left cares about
318. 12:56people the right cares about money now
319. 12:58you didn't say anything when George Bush
320. 13:00was president of the United States and
321. 13:02people were being arrested trying to
322. 13:03protest outside of any meetings he ever
323. 13:05had people bring guns to Obama's meeting
324. 13:08they didn't get arrested sir the right
325. 13:10is wrong the left is right and you
326. 13:12people are so evil it's unbelievable you
327. 13:14sit there and defend Michelle Bachmann
328. 13:16Rush Limbaugh Glen Beck Bill O'Reilly
329. 13:18they're all liars and you are crazy I
330. 13:21tell you this country has got me to
331. 13:23where I don't like Republicans anymore I
332. 13:25won't associate with them we're getting
333. 13:27into a deep divide in this country
334. 13:28because of the the lies on the right and
335. 13:30the left try defends itself now you a c
336. 13:33student obviously I'm sorry I'm very my
337. 13:36hand is shaking you got me so car let me
338. 13:38jump in and get a response from our
339. 13:40guest yes that's the power of the media
340. 13:43to create that perception that we're
341. 13:45evil I mean how how did I or Ron Silver
342. 13:48uh or Dennis Miller what is it about we
343. 13:52apostates those who who who've gone from
344. 13:55there's no reason why a person who grew
345. 13:59up in Brentwood a a a secular liberal
346. 14:02Jew like me who was who was bathed in
347. 14:04secular liberalism and the left and the
348. 14:07fundamental default belief that Liberals
349. 14:10are the feeling good people the you know
350. 14:12and the Republicans are the evil people
351. 14:13I grew up with that perception I grew up
352. 14:16being told the people in flyover country
353. 14:18are stupid why on God's green earth
354. 14:21would Dennis Miller or me or any of
355. 14:24these other people dare to go from one
356. 14:27side to the other it is a it is an act
357. 14:29of conscience uh it it has hurt my
358. 14:32social life it has hurt familial
359. 14:34relations because on the left whether it
360. 14:36be on a college campus whether it be in
361. 14:38Venezuela whether it be in the Obama
362. 14:40Administration these people cannot abide
363. 14:43by people that disagree with them and
364. 14:45they demonized them and that person on
365. 14:48that that that just called trembling is
366. 14:50a victim of the Democrat media complex
367. 14:53he has been he has been brainwashed to
368. 14:55believe that Michelle Bachmann who
369. 14:58raised five children and had 23 foster
370. 15:01children and that Sarah pengin who lives
371. 15:04up in Alaska is somehow some evil
372. 15:06monster that those projections of the
373. 15:10media onto conservatives to make me evil

375. 15:15country uh what is a motive that I have

402. 16:29to embrace him what is this good
403. 16:31open-minded liberal trying to do by
404. 16:34bringing up that that he rented
405. 16:36pornography that he's a hypocrite
406. 16:37Because he believes in Christ that he
407. 16:39likes sex I don't understand it's to
408. 16:41destroy him and the fact that Ted
409. 16:44Kennedy and Joe Biden worked in concert
410. 16:46with the mainstream media to get this
411. 16:49guy to believe that this is a a Salient
412. 16:51talking point that can be used in
413. 16:53perpetuity to destroy Clarence Thomas
414. 16:56again is why I fight what the way fight
415. 16:59here's a Twitter question for you does
416. 17:01Breitbart think Fox News is not
417. 17:03legitimate because they aren't an arm of
418. 17:06the democratic party is that a double
419. 17:08negative I don't uh I well is I can you
420. 17:13ask that again because I the the the not
421. 17:15threw me off show it again does
422. 17:16Breitbart think Fox News is not
423. 17:19legitimate because they aren't an arm of
424. 17:20the democratic party well that's well of
425. 17:23course of course um right now the AC you
426. 17:29according to Josh gersen in Politico the
427. 17:32article in which they were talking about
428. 17:33the White House's strategy to go after
429. 17:35Fox News was based upon the fact that
430. 17:38they covered the acorn
431. 17:41story is Acorn a legitimate story or is
432. 17:44this opinion based journalism this isn't
433. 17:46Hannity this isn't Beck this isn't
434. 17:48O'Reilly's opinions this is the
435. 17:51information that was found on the videos
436. 17:53is it a legitimate story well before the
437. 17:55mainstream media even covered the story
438. 17:58The
439. 17:59it was existed in the in the under media
440. 18:01that I am a part of the new media and Al
441. 18:05Franken voted to defund Acorn so he
442. 18:08thought it was a legitimate enough story
443. 18:10that he voted to defund it and so right
444. 18:14now when we offer up the sixth video
445. 18:17based upon the premise that after all of
446. 18:19the videos Acorn lied every step of the
447. 18:22way and the media perpetuated those lies
448. 18:24every step of the way for them to for
449. 18:26the media to continue to take acorn's
450. 18:29line on their lies built upon the
451. 18:32premise the false premise that Hannah
452. 18:34and James were kicked out of
453. 18:36Philadelphia for us to hold a press
454. 18:38conference to prove the media wrong to
455. 18:41prove Media Matters wrong to prove Acorn
456. 18:44wrong that yet again they got hit uh
457. 18:47that is a legitimate news story but what
458. 18:49happened last night it wasn't on ABC it
459. 18:52wasn't on CBS it wasn't on NBC it wasn't
460. 18:56on in in the New York Times that I know
461. 18:58of it certainly wasn't on the front of
462. 18:59the paper by going after Fox News and
463. 19:02isolating that Acorn was not a
464. 19:04legitimate news story the media took the
465. 19:07queue of the media the White House is
466. 19:10the city editor right now for this
467. 19:12country and it's disgusting and thank
