Andrew Breitbart

There was a lot of us that were coming out of Hollywood and starting to get involved in what's going on in the world.

And we were all kind of being led by Andrew Breitbart.

at that point.

And he was, he was kind of showing the way of how to do this, this thing, this fight in media and, and other places.

It's really a shame that he wasn't around with us longer, but he really did hang in there long enough to show us the template of how to fight with this stuff.

I mean his press conference with Anthony Weiner I think goes down as one of the greatest media stunts of all time.

When he jumped up on the stage when Anthony Weiner had a scheduled press conference to talk about the photos that Andrew Breitbart had leaked, had gotten a hold of and leaked.

And Andrew Breitbart finds out that this press conference is taking place just down the road.

Amelia, listen, we all sort of got to know each other and sort of became, you know, this group of young patriots.

About 12, 15 years ago, you know, Andrew Breitbart and the whole rise of the new media and everybody was blogging and everybody was doing this and doing that.

Tell me about why...

For you, it was the right path to sort of focus on this kind of content in this genre.

So I think in many ways he was a deeply religious thinker, even if he couldn't really admit that to himself because in the world he was in, remember, Silicon Valley, high tech, media, you had to be kind of nihilistic.

You couldn't really be a believer in He adopted that kind of casual agnosticism that was very common in California.

You know, our friend Andrew Breitbart used to say that he bats clean up on the Judeo-Christian softball team.

But it was hard for him, at least in Hollywood, before he became politically conservative, to talk about faith at all because you just didn't do that in the 1990s in California.

You're a relaxed person.

I was very close with Andrew Breitbart, and I firmly believe, and everybody who was close with Andrew believes, that Andrew was there in sort of the early days of Twitter and became very Twitter obsessive.

It was really bad for him.

Like on a health level, it was very, very bad for him.

What do you make of all of this?

Well, there is a special coincidence here, which is that the king of the Hollywood conservatives was Andrew Breitbart.

And he helped put together Friends of Abe and organized.

There are a lot of conservatives in California.

My friend Larry O'Connor.

We were mutual friends with Andrew Breitbart.

That's how I got to know him.

And Larry does radio in Washington, D.C., and he also has a live political show on the Roku channel.

And I meant to get into this with Scott about the ABC board a little bit, but we got, uh, we got commandeered by a, uh, discussion on college athletics and the state of them now.

So, you know, to me, that's, you know, as the late Andrew Breitbart used to say, the politics is downstream.

culture so uh that's sort of where it takes us here backstrap i still listen to the games on the radio especially auburn i'll see the auburn radio guys moan and whine about everything it's pretty comical and a roll tide andy bircham he's he's he's the uh he's the homer um i guess it's just kind of to be expected there also sugar huddle always fun To hear that.

And one more here.
