2. 0:13you describe in righteous indignation a
3. 0:17privileged upbringing in Southern
4. 0:19California exclusive schools very
5. 0:22comfortable circumstances your parents
6. 0:23were particularly political but they
7. 0:25were more or less conservative and then
8. 0:28this I'm quoting from the book
9. 0:30through some form of Osmosis I
10. 0:32considered myself a liberal how come uh
11. 0:36my parents didn't fight for my uh to to
12. 0:39maintain what it was they were teaching
13. 0:41me through their deeds and their acts
14. 0:43they are very silent generation I grew
15. 0:46up around uh uh with friends who had
16. 0:49younger baby boomer parents and they
17. 0:52were very uh forthright in their
18. 0:54politics they would go to their rock
19. 0:55concerts they'd go to their Rock for
20. 0:57campuchia they'd fly to Philadelphia for
21. 1:00Live Aid and I remember my mother would
22. 1:02watch uh uh Lawrence wel on Saturday
23. 1:07nights the jop position the jop position
24. 1:10of that's not a hard choice you what
25. 1:12reaction was it was and so as much as I
26. 1:15loved my parents uh the the flow towards
27. 1:19my friends and their parents' way of
28. 1:21life and way of thinking was the most
29. 1:24natural thing in the world an important
30. 1:27moment comes when you you know know and
31. 1:30the man who will become your
32. 1:31father-in-law the comedian and actor
33. 1:34Orson Bean known to people of a c
34. 1:36certain generation from to tell the
35. 1:38truth known to people of another
36. 1:40generation from Desperate
37. 1:42Housewives and you at well here I'll
38. 1:44just quote to you from righteous
39. 1:45indignation one day I asked Orson why he
40. 1:48had Rush limbo's book The Way Things
41. 1:50ought to be on his shelf I was convinced
42. 1:52to the core of my being that Rush limbo
43. 1:55was a Nazi anti-black anti-jewish and
44. 1:57anti- all things decent Orson simply
45. 2:00suggested that I listen to him again and
46. 2:02what happened when you did well it was
47. 2:05the 1992 election cycle and at that
48. 2:08point I thought I was a liberal and I
49. 2:10started listening to to rush simply
50. 2:12because um my alternative radio station
51. 2:17had turned into a grunge rock festival I
52. 2:20loathed Kirk Cobain and uh Eddie veter
53. 2:25so much that I switched to the am dial
54. 2:28out of desperation so that's really I I
55. 2:31have to thank Grunge music for turning
56. 2:33me into a conservative and I remember
57. 2:35the first month or two thinking well I
58. 2:39may not agree with his politics but at
59. 2:42no point have I heard him intimate
60. 2:44anything that appears to be racist
61. 2:46sexist or homophobic and I started to
62. 2:49ask people around me have you ever
63. 2:51listened to this Rush limbo creature and
64. 2:53they said yes he's a racist sexist and a
65. 2:55homophobe I said okay I need some help
66. 2:58here cuz I've been listening now for
67. 3:00months as I'm driving on La freeways
68. 3:02delivering scripts he's not he's not and
69. 3:06what I realized was is I believed to the
70. 3:08core of my being that I had listened to
71. 3:10him if you had given me a lie detector
72. 3:12test I promise you I would have passed
73. 3:14because with conviction the culture the
74. 3:1760 Minutes report on him all of the
75. 3:19things that i' had been told uh
76. 3:22reflected that negative stereotype but I
77. 3:25in fact had never assessed him myself
78. 3:27and recognizing that the mainstream
79. 3:29media doesn't necessarily tell you the
80. 3:32truth or tells you the truth from its
81. 3:34ideological standpoint became became
82. 3:37this pania for me where I started to
83. 3:39challenge the mainstream
84. 3:41media again from righteous indignation
85. 3:44limbo like the professor I always wanted
86. 3:46but never had created a vivid mental
87. 3:50picture of the architecture of a world
88. 3:52that I resided in but couldn't see
89. 3:54completely the Democrat media complex
90. 3:58describe the architecture well it's the
91. 4:00Matrix I mean it really for me it was if
92. 4:04you've ever been to Coney Island and you
93. 4:06see those Holograms where there's a
94. 4:09picture of the Empire State Building and
95. 4:11you're supposed to squint and you squint
96. 4:13and you squint and you can't see it but
97. 4:15eventually you see the Eiffel Tower and
98. 4:19you're like and like and then once you
99. 4:21see the Eiffel Tower you can't not see
100. 4:24the Eiffel Tower and through every day
101. 4:28Rush Limba and analyzing The Source
102. 4:31material of the world the New York Times
103. 4:33The Washington Post CNN ABC CBS and NBC
104. 4:38he was able to create for me a a very
105. 4:40Vivid uh picture that the people who
106. 4:43were allegedly objective and neutral
107. 4:46reporters and journalists were the the
108. 4:49front line of of the political battle
109. 4:53and they Ed their objectivity as their
110. 4:56greatest weapon because they were
111. 4:57telling young impressionable people like
112. 5:00me who believed in Woodward and
113. 5:01Bernstein and who believed in uh Walter
114. 5:04kronite wait a second you're telling me
115. 5:07that perhaps ideology played a role in
116. 5:11how they interpreted stories or how they
117. 5:13chose one story over the other and so
118. 5:15then the Matrix of the Democrat media
119. 5:17complex became everything to me in fact
120. 5:21when discussing politics I always turn
121. 5:23it back to the complex it's always about
122. 5:26seeing the world and hoping that people
123. 5:28see the eiffel to
124. 5:30so this is you're listening to limau in
125. 5:33'92 during that election cycle right and
126. 5:37you what I'm getting at here is who is
127. 5:39the Democrat media complex then and who
128. 5:42is the Democrat media complex now what's
129. 5:45changed what's changed uh other than uh
130. 5:48much has changed actually and that
131. 5:50that's the new media and that's that's
132. 5:52the whole point of this entire book is
133. 5:55that Rush took the mor abund am dial and
134. 5:58at the end of the day was a media critic
135. 6:01but he was a Relentless media critic and
136. 6:03he was exposing to he wasn't just
137. 6:05working with dittoe heads if dittoe
138. 6:07heads were what rush limbo were about
139. 6:10they could care less about just let them
140. 6:12be and talk to the yokal out there in
141. 6:15the Hinterlands they're worried about
142. 6:17Andrew breitbart's of the world people
143. 6:19that would actually listen to what he
144. 6:21has to say and awaken people so that
145. 6:24they can see that these people are using
146. 6:26the media as a way to reinforce a herd
147. 6:29mentality uh W within the culture and so
148. 6:32what I see now is they used to get away
149. 6:35with it Rush Limba took the moraband am
150. 6:38dial and now it's a flourishing realm
151. 6:40where countless people from Michael
152. 6:42medvid to Dennis Prager to Shan Hannity
153. 6:45are showing people or granting people a
154. 6:48perspective uh or the alternative
155. 6:50reality from the mainstream media and
156. 6:53Matt drudge comes along in
157. 6:551995 and he tells people hey look you
158. 6:57don't need to have an AM radio station
159. 7:00which costs a lot of money and you have
160. 7:02to have a certain skill set he said look
161. 7:04if you have a modem and a computer you
162. 7:06can enter this thing we're now 20 plus
163. 7:09years into this New Media Revolution and
164. 7:12the difference is is there is open media
165. 7:15Warfare now between Katie kurick and the
166. 7:19rushin boss and the Matt judges of the
167. 7:21world we are a polarized Nation this is
168. 7:23a civil war based upon
169. 7:26communication again quoting from
170. 7:28righteous indignation I you I Andrew
171. 7:31breor I'm at war with the mainstream
172. 7:33media I'm at war with the mainstream
173. 7:35media because they portray themselves as
174. 7:37objective observers reality when they're
175. 7:39hacks who think they can destroy
176. 7:41everything America stands for but
177. 7:43shouldn't you relax things are working
178. 7:45out things are working out there's Fox
179. 7:48News there's Rush limo there all kind of
180. 7:51that's not enough that's not enough
181. 7:53that's not enough this is what angers me
182. 7:55so about the that's what I want to know
183. 7:57why aren why aren't you more relaxed
184. 7:58we're 20 years into it just as you said
185. 8:00why you say oh okay I'll take a spend
186. 8:02half my time AM radio an oped column and
187. 8:07Fox News is not enough the big what do
188. 8:10you want what do you want I want uh I
189. 8:12want a center right Nation to fight for
190. 8:14its soul and its soul is represented in
191. 8:17the Arts its soul is represented in in
192. 8:20in in in a in a world in which media is
193. 8:23everything AM radio is the lowest form
194. 8:27of communication it's it's it's it's
195. 8:29it's tiny it's not it's it's it's not
196. 8:32robust it's not Avatar I want Avatar I
197. 8:36want the right to enter the world of
198. 8:39media to the extent and invest in media
199. 8:42the way that the left does George Soros
200. 8:44is throwing money like crazy you want an
201. 8:46NPR I want everything I want us I want
202. 8:50right they have an NPR they're so slick
203. 8:52and understanding how important media is
204. 8:55they've convinced the government to pay
205. 8:56them to propagate their worldview how
206. 8:59how come we're not fighting for money to
207. 9:01propagate our worldview because we don't
208. 9:03believe in it okay then use the free
209. 9:04market to convey the same ideas with the
210. 9:06same level of sophistication and
211. 9:08Excellence that NPR does because they
212. 9:11are superior at what they do just as
213. 9:14John Stewart is superior at what he does
214. 9:16I grant Hollywood and the the experts uh
215. 9:20in propaganda for what they do good in
216. 9:24fact that's what annoys you that it
217. 9:25annoys me and it annoys that our side
218. 9:27does not commit to this battle
219. 9:30what's the Frankfurt School and why
220. 9:32should anyone watching this interview
221. 9:34care they were trying to figure out
222. 9:37another aspect of how to uh affect how
223. 9:41how to spread Marxism around the world
224. 9:45these guys left these guys left Nazi
225. 9:49Germany and molinis Italy to come to
226. 9:52California in the 1940s and they lived
227. 9:55by the beach and they were depressed by
228. 9:57the relentless cheeriness the
229. 10:00productivity and the capitalism that
230. 10:02they witnessed around them and they came
231. 10:04up with a a they came up with at the end
232. 10:07of the day we could call it uh cultural
233. 10:10Marxism but at the end of the day we
234. 10:12experience it on a day-to-day basis and
235. 10:15by that I mean a minute by minute second
236. 10:17byc basis uh it's political correctness
237. 10:20and it's multiculturalism and what it
238. 10:23took was this amazing concept of eus
239. 10:25Unum where everybody comes here and
240. 10:28contributes to this this you know
241. 10:30everybody becomes an American and
242. 10:32contributes but we have a common culture
243. 10:34we have a common border a common mindset
244. 10:36what they did was take the halves versus
245. 10:39hav Nots friction and translated it into
246. 10:44uh oppressor versus the oppressed and it
247. 10:47and it and this got taken up by
248. 10:49faculties across the country that's
249. 10:51that's the point of the Frankfurt School
250. 10:53and the progressive embraced by 60s post
251. 10:57structuralism post structuralism queer
252. 11:00studies uh uh African-American studies
253. 11:03all that all of that is pitting people
254. 11:06against each other it is anti-American
255. 11:08to its
256. 11:10core who's solinsky and why should
257. 11:12anyone watching this interview care
258. 11:16well Hillary Clinton wrote her senior
259. 11:19thesis on solul linit Welsley uh we uh
260. 11:23Barack Obama is an acolyte of Saul
261. 11:26Linsky he created the concept of
262. 11:28community or organizing and what he did
263. 11:31as I argue in this book is he took all
264. 11:33of this ethereal clap trap this gnome
265. 11:37Chomsky like jargon that the average
266. 11:39person couldn't understand Herbert
267. 11:41maruza is very hard to read it's all
268. 11:43it's all it's all impossible to read uh
269. 11:47but he was able to translate this
270. 11:50cultural Marxist down to a series of
271. 11:53rules and a mindset a warrior mindset
272. 11:57where the critical theory was like take
273. 11:59on your enemy take him directly on
274. 12:02destroy that person he applied critical
275. 12:05theory down to the street War level and
276. 12:08I would argue that the Katie krik of the
277. 12:11world uh the Chris Matthews of the world
278. 12:14uh Rachel mad and Keith alberman
279. 12:17unbeknownst even to themselves are
280. 12:20studied in the tactics of
281. 12:22olinsky so you then present your own
282. 12:24rules to answer Sol linsky's rules don't
283. 12:28be afraid to go into enemy territory
284. 12:30what do you mean by that I can't tell
285. 12:32you how many people tell me don't go
286. 12:34onto the bill marah show ah um take it
287. 12:37right to them oh it's the best or and
288. 12:40first of all I've had my greatest
289. 12:42successes because I live in West Los
290. 12:44Angeles he my life is taking it to them
291. 12:46I live in West Los Angeles I live amid
292. 12:50you know the Hollywood
293. 12:52rubble and when I do a bill marah show
294. 12:57and I go to Starbucks the next morning
295. 13:00and the Barista says I saw you on TV
296. 13:02last night and I didn't like how the
297. 13:05audience was booing you before you
298. 13:06finished your sentences and I thought
299. 13:09that you made an interesting point
300. 13:11nobody nobody sought me out to reclaim
301. 13:15me on behalf of my parents not even my
302. 13:17parents I tripped upon conservatism my
303. 13:20goal is to go out there and find someone
304. 13:23else like me who' never even known what
305. 13:26conservatism was and say Hey you know
306. 13:29maybe I can draw you in what do you mean
307. 13:32in your pragmatic primer for realistic
308. 13:35revolutionaries and righteous
309. 13:36indignation by Believe In The Audacity
310. 13:41Of
311. 13:42Hope well I'm I my business partner
312. 13:46hates this about me because every now
313. 13:47and then I will compare myself to Don
314. 13:50keot because he doesn't like the it
315. 13:54that's right but I I I do believe that
316. 13:56is that that many of the things that
317. 13:58I've accomplished have had you know such
318. 14:01as taking on the
319. 14:03complex what what most of am talk radio
320. 14:07does simply criticizes it from afar when
321. 14:11I saw what they did to Clarence Thomas
322. 14:14and you ju deposed what they did to
323. 14:16Clarence Thomas next to anointing Bill
324. 14:18Clinton for exhibiting the same behavior
325. 14:21that they claimed that uh that Thomas
326. 14:23was guilty of when you see how they
327. 14:26treat the Tea Party their default racist
328. 14:29have to disprove their racism I believe
329. 14:32that the organism the natural organism
330. 14:35that is the Democrat media complex
331. 14:37behaves often times in an evil fashion
332. 14:41my goal is to destroy the mainstream
333. 14:43media as we currently know it so that it
334. 14:46is more Equitable so that it is more
335. 14:48fair it seems like an outrageous goal
336. 14:52I'm not sure that there's a business
337. 14:54model that's going to make it so that
338. 14:55I'm going to have rert Murdoch like
339. 14:57money but I hope that my children's
340. 14:59generation exists in a more fair and
341. 15:02Equitable media and the first thing that
342. 15:05we're going to have to get rid of is
343. 15:06this fake uh Declaration of objectivity
344. 15:10and neutrality that is a big lie we need
345. 15:14to move towards something that is a more
346. 15:17mature version of what we have now more
347. 15:20like the UK in Britain the newspapers
348. 15:23are avowedly left and right you know
349. 15:26what you're getting and they're mature
350. 15:27about it we are just going through the
351. 15:29Adolescent phase of recognizing that
352. 15:32objectivity was the big lie of the
353. 15:34latter part of the 21st 20th century
