00:00:08.000 Hey, everybody.
00:00:08.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, I have a great conversation with John Nolte, who is one of the first employees ever at Breitbart News.
00:00:16.000 It was handpicked by the great Andrew Breitbart.
00:00:20.000 Very thought-provoking.
00:00:21.000 I don't know if I agree with everything that he says in this episode, but I agree with most of it.
00:00:25.000 And I think you're really going to enjoy it.
00:00:27.000 Email me your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:32.000 And thank you for supporting our program.
00:00:34.000 We're putting out anywhere between 10 to 14 podcasts a week.
00:00:39.000 Definitely the most productive conservative podcast out there, if not of all podcasts out there.
00:00:43.000 So if you guys go to charliekirk.com slash support, we greatly appreciate it.
00:00:47.000 It's charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:51.000 Thank you guys so much for listening.
00:00:52.000 You're going to love this conversation.
00:00:53.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:54.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:57.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:00.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:03.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:06.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:07.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:08.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:17.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:25.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:28.000 Hey, everybody.
00:01:30.000 Welcome to this special episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:32.000 I have with me someone who is probably one of the most intelligent, funniest individuals in the conservative movement and really has written brilliantly on a variety of different issues.
00:01:43.000 Just to give you an idea, his Twitter name, you could change your Twitter name, not your Twitter handle, very easily.
00:01:48.000 It says, let's start our own MAGA chaz.
00:01:52.000 So with me is John Nolte.
00:01:54.000 John, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:01:56.000 It's a pleasure to be here, Charlie.
00:01:58.000 Thanks for having me on.
00:01:59.000 So the country is burning. 0.97
00:02:01.000 There's a new sovereign country in Seattle where I think we now have two people that we know of that have been killed within that chop chaz sovereign country. 1.00
00:02:10.000 I've been looking at your Twitter feed recently, and you alongside many others seem pretty irritated about the direction that we are headed as a country. 0.98
00:02:19.000 You knew Andrew Breitbart.
00:02:21.000 You were one of the first people that actually was at the beginning of kind of Breitbart News, or I think it was called Big Hollywood back then.
00:02:28.000 And Andrew Breitbart, my goodness, do we need more people like Andrew today?
00:02:32.000 Can you just give us an update of how you think things are going or not going and what you think our audience can do to help course correct?
00:02:39.000 I think that overall, the important thing that people should keep in mind is that this is just a cycle.
00:02:47.000 And it will probably, if Joe Biden wins, it will definitely come to an end.
00:02:54.000 If Joe Biden doesn't win, I think that we're looking at a pretty long cycle of this.
00:03:00.000 We went through something very similar in the 60s, and it took a while to shake itself out.
00:03:07.000 And what we're going to see happen, because, and we've seen this before, is the cities are going to get very, very bad because you have the Democrats going along with what is basically a soft on crime position.
00:03:22.000 And remember, Bill Clinton got elected in 1992 as a Democrat who rejected the soft on crime stuff.
00:03:30.000 And that's how bad things got for the Democrats.
00:03:33.000 And everything that you see happening culturally, everything you see happening as far as the police, it's all going to lead to disaster.
00:03:43.000 These are terrible ideas. 0.99
00:03:45.000 They don't work anywhere except in the mind of a dumb utopian. 1.00
00:03:50.000 But we forget that after a while. 0.98
00:03:52.000 We forget why New York elected Bruny Giuliani in 1994.
00:03:58.000 They did it because the soft on crime policies proved to be a disaster.
00:04:03.000 And so we're probably going to go through a phase of urban blight where the cities get very, very bad.
00:04:11.000 And then, you know, eventually people are going to be forced to wake up and admit that this stuff just doesn't work and it's making life intolerable.
00:04:20.000 So one thing I will ask, though, is I actually sometimes say this is not a cycle because we're seeing things we've never seen before. 0.86
00:04:29.000 People in private businesses having to take a knee just because they're white, black-only, the return of black-only dormitories at schools like University of California. 0.86
00:04:38.000 I think it was UC Santa Barbara. 0.90
00:04:40.000 We'll get the exact name here.
00:04:41.000 But we are seeing things we've never experienced before in our country, and especially a predominant generation that we're trying to work towards that have bitter resentment and hatred for everything we care about. 0.87
00:04:54.000 Cal State Los Angeles, I'm sorry, and UC Boulder have black-only dormitories. 0.93
00:04:58.000 How much of this do you think we can course correct? 1.00
00:05:00.000 And how much of this do you think is actually now just the new normal that we're going to have to live with? 1.00
00:05:05.000 White kids having to apologize for who they are. 1.00
00:05:10.000 I would love to hear your thoughts on that. 1.00
00:05:12.000 Eventually, it's going to shake itself out.
00:05:14.000 Because like I said, this is such an intolerable way, not only for people to live like you and I, who have to watch this nonsense, but it's intolerable for the people that are demanding this kind of fealty.
00:05:30.000 It's a terrible way to live.
00:05:31.000 And we saw very similar things.
00:05:34.000 I'm not saying you're right.
00:05:35.000 It's not exactly the same.
00:05:36.000 There's a lot.
00:05:37.000 Social media is a lot different, but that's a good and bad thing because in the 60s and 70s, we didn't have alternate media.
00:05:45.000 We didn't have podcasts.
00:05:46.000 We didn't have social media.
00:05:49.000 But, you know, during the 60s, everything was so politicized and young people were so politicized.
00:05:56.000 And it was just this constant, everything, their music, the way they spoke, it was obnoxious.
00:06:02.000 It was tiresome.
00:06:04.000 And then their little brothers and sisters came of age and they just said, I don't want to live like this.
00:06:08.000 So instead of listening to Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, they grabbed Led Zeppelin and they had fun.
00:06:14.000 And the 70s were awesome if you look at freedom.
00:06:17.000 And I do think you're going to see people just get tired of living like this and they're going to mature their way out of it.
00:06:25.000 And young people tend to reject what the establishment is.
00:06:31.000 And young people are going to reject this very stifling, let's politicize everything mentality because it's exhausting and it's no fun.
00:06:43.000 And people like you, Charlie, and Breitbar News, you know, we offer freedom.
00:06:47.000 We offer fun.
00:06:48.000 We offer that alternative.
00:06:50.000 There is an alternative in America. 1.00
00:06:52.000 And I think people are going to find that refreshing once we get through all this stupidity. 1.00
00:06:58.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:06:59.000 And the question is, when do we hit bottom?
00:07:01.000 And how much damage do we have to go through?
00:07:03.000 I mean, when you have a Sacramento Kings radio announcer that gets fired when he says all lives matter, I mean, when you have the constant digital annihilation culture, I think that is one thing culturally that is different.
00:07:16.000 I mean, they tried to do that in the 1960s.
00:07:18.000 It's just, to your point, they didn't have the same digital mechanisms to be able to expose and boycott and create a mob or a swarm within a moment's notice like they do today.
00:07:28.000 Now they can just say, oh, we want to wipe this person off the face of the earth.
00:07:32.000 One of those individuals that they've tried to cancel for quite some time, you wrote about this, is Jerry Falwell Jr., a dear friend of mine, runs Liberty University, one of the few good colleges in our country.
00:07:42.000 You wrote about kind of how he was attacked for attacking and exposing Ralph Northam's racism.
00:07:49.000 Can you talk about this?
00:07:50.000 This is one of the most outrageous stories I have ever seen.
00:07:55.000 Jerry Falwell Jr. doesn't like Governor Ralph Northam, the Virginia governor, doesn't like his mandatory mask policy.
00:08:05.000 So what Falwell did was put up a tweet that said, if I'm going to be forced to wear a mask in so many words, I'm going to wear this mask with a picture of Governor Blackface on it.
00:08:17.000 And what he had on the mask or the picture that he put on the Twitter on the tweet was that infamous yearbook photo where Northam is either dressed up as a Klansman or dressed up in blackface, and none of it is good natured.
00:08:32.000 This is not a good natured anti-racism fail.
00:08:37.000 This is a malevolent, malicious stereotype making very light of racism, which is what you expect from Democrats at that time because Democrats were the pro-segregation party at that time.
00:08:52.000 And it was Falwell who was attacked.
00:08:56.000 He was attacked for putting the photo up and people claimed that they were re-traumatized over the photo.
00:09:02.000 And of course, that's all BS, and we have to remember that.
00:09:05.000 It's all BS.
00:09:07.000 The problem is that Falwell is a Trump supporter.
00:09:10.000 Northam is a Democrat.
00:09:12.000 And people don't want Falwell reminding people that Northam is a racist because they're not re-traumatized every time you see what happened to George Floyd.
00:09:23.000 They're not re-traumatized. 0.64
00:09:24.000 I mean, if Falwell was a Democrat and there was somewhere a picture of Donald Trump in Blackface, and he did the same tweet, but used Donald Trump in Blackface, and I want to make sure, make clear, there's no photo of Donald Trump in Blackface, they would love it.
00:09:41.000 So it's all politics and it's all a way to protect Northam and a way to protect, to attack Falwell simply because he's a Trump supporter.
00:09:51.000 What he was doing was attacking racism.
00:09:54.000 He was ridiculing a racist.
00:09:56.000 And they just turned around and they hit him with it. 0.94
00:10:00.000 It's just absurd.
00:10:01.000 And what it reminds me of, and I know you'd mentioned that it doesn't remind you of the 60s, but it does remind me of the 50s.
00:10:06.000 This is another blacklisting cycle that we're going through, only this time it's from the left.
00:10:12.000 And we've been through this before.
00:10:14.000 We've been through this before, and that lasted 10 years.
00:10:16.000 So it's going to be a tough slog, but I do think we're going to get through it.
00:10:19.000 So you also wrote a piece that says, Joe Biden's Europa dope is working brilliantly against Trump.
00:10:26.000 What do you mean by that? 1.00
00:10:27.000 And you say, right now, Trump is running the stupidest and most self-destructive reelection campaign in modern history. 1.00
00:10:33.000 Let us have it. 1.00
00:10:34.000 What do you mean by that?
00:10:35.000 Well, I want to make clear that I want Trump to win and I'm going to vote for him.
00:10:39.000 But everybody, when you talk about what's happening right now, I hear this over and over thousands, literally thousands and thousands of times on Twitter.
00:10:50.000 Don't believe the polls.
00:10:51.000 Well, what people forget is that in 2016, the national polls were spot on.
00:10:57.000 They were spot on.
00:10:59.000 They said Trump was going to lose by 3.3%, and he lost the popular vote by 2.2%, 2.2 points.
00:11:08.000 So the national polls were spot on.
00:11:11.000 And he lost the popular vote by 2.2 points, and he barely beat Hillary.
00:11:17.000 I know he blew her out in the Electoral College, but if you look at the vote margins in some of those states, he barely beat Hillary.
00:11:26.000 Now the national polls, the average of them, shows that Trump is losing to Biden by 9.2 points.
00:11:34.000 And I think he is setting himself up.
00:11:36.000 I think if the election were held today, it would be a blowout.
00:11:38.000 I think he would be humiliated.
00:11:40.000 And he's, in my opinion, making one massive mistake after another in not understanding that when the country is facing all these crises at once, if it's just one crisis, it's bad enough.
00:11:55.000 But we have three crises going on right now.
00:11:57.000 We have the coronavirus, we have the economy, and we have these nationwide riots.
00:12:02.000 And instead of rising above it, instead of being steady, instead of being calm and cool, he's the same guy that he was when unemployment was 3%.
00:12:13.000 He's popping off on Twitter.
00:12:16.000 He looks agitated.
00:12:18.000 Everything is about Trump.
00:12:20.000 And I think it's killing him.
00:12:22.000 I think he's disqualifying himself.
00:12:24.000 And I'm always reminded of George W. Bush in 2004.
00:12:27.000 I watched that election very closely.
00:12:29.000 It was the first year I was on New Media. 0.99
00:12:32.000 In 2004, Iraq was going to hell. 0.97
00:12:36.000 In 2004, the economy was slowing down.
00:12:40.000 And in 2004, the media were trying to kill Bush just as badly as they're trying to kill Trump now.
00:12:46.000 But Bush stayed cool.
00:12:48.000 He remained calm.
00:12:50.000 He stuck to his talking points and he won the election.
00:12:53.000 And what people want from a president when everything is going to hell is they want steadiness.
00:12:59.000 They want competency.
00:13:00.000 And even if you're not competent, even if your management is incompetent, they want you to at least present yourself as competent, which is one of the reasons Andrew Como is doing so well.
00:13:10.000 Because even though he totally screwed up the coronavirus in New York, he presents himself on TV every day as someone who's in charge, who has an answer for everything.
00:13:19.000 And yet Trump let those coronavirus briefings just devolve, devolve into these grudge matches, these endless marathons of grudge matches against the media.
00:13:30.000 And that's where I think he started hurting himself.
00:13:32.000 And he's never recovered from that.
00:13:34.000 He's temperamental.
00:13:35.000 He's prickly.
00:13:36.000 He's thin-skinned. 0.97
00:13:37.000 He's not being careful about what he tweets out like the guy screaming white power.
00:13:43.000 And so Biden is hiding out in his basement saying, I'm the acceptable alternative.
00:13:49.000 And he's just letting Trump punch himself out.
00:13:52.000 And it's very demoralizing to watch.
00:13:55.000 Well, so what concretely do you think Trump and the Trump campaign can do to course correct?
00:14:00.000 There's a lot of members of the Trump campaign that listen to this show, and they want to win.
00:14:07.000 We all want Donald Trump to win.
00:14:09.000 And what do you think that you say, this is what they can do?
00:14:13.000 Do you think it's personnel?
00:14:15.000 Do you think it's direction?
00:14:16.000 What do you think can be done to actually fix what's happening right now?
00:14:20.000 I think the problem is Trump.
00:14:22.000 I don't think anyone can control him.
00:14:23.000 But I would just say it is time to be boring and presidential.
00:14:28.000 Get off Twitter.
00:14:30.000 For God's sakes, get off Twitter.
00:14:34.000 There's 126,000 dead Americans.
00:14:37.000 Nobody wants to hear about you being upset with the polls.
00:14:41.000 Nobody wants to hear that you're upset because a cable news segment said something bad about you on Fox News.
00:14:47.000 And what are you doing spreading conspiracy theories about Joe Scarborough when 20 million people are out of work?
00:14:54.000 He needs to stop making everything about him.
00:14:56.000 It's fine.
00:14:57.000 You know, he goes to these rallies and he wants to do a rally and he wants to have fun at a rally.
00:15:02.000 I understand that.
00:15:03.000 That's fine.
00:15:04.000 That's a different situation.
00:15:05.000 But you do have to be president of all the people.
00:15:08.000 And he just needs to be presidential.
00:15:12.000 He needs to lead.
00:15:13.000 You know, right now he's just reacting to these riots instead of leading, instead of presenting himself as the president and saying, here's the plan.
00:15:23.000 We're going to protect these monuments and the governors that don't.
00:15:26.000 We're going to strip their funding.
00:15:28.000 Whatever you have to do.
00:15:29.000 But the first thing he needs to do is get off of Twitter and stop making everything about him and take a very good look at the 2004 election because the similarities are striking.
00:15:41.000 He's also, you know, George W. Bush was up against a guy everybody knew for years.
00:15:47.000 And he was up against a Democrat and he had terrible approval ratings, but he mustered through.
00:15:53.000 I would very closely watch that election, but he really needs to get off of Twitter.
00:16:00.000 So you also wrote on Breitbart.com, the left's demand for racism far exceeds the supply.
00:16:08.000 I totally agree.
00:16:08.000 What do you mean by that?
00:16:09.000 And let's just talk about this now hyper-focus on race in America on how the left wants us to be almost a, they want us to be a very hyper-racialized society where we look at people's skin color first and foremost.
00:16:24.000 Well, the thing that sort of prompted that piece was I was watching Bubba Wallace, NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace and Al Sharpton on TV after we discovered that the so-called noose left in his garage was not a noose left in his garage.
00:16:41.000 It was a loop tied at the end of a garage pole.
00:16:44.000 And I saw Bubba Wallace on TV that night and he was still complaining.
00:16:48.000 He was still claimed, pretending to be the victim and still using the word damaged to reflect himself, even though someone tied a loop at the end of a garage pole in a garage no one could have known he was going to be in because they tied it last year.
00:17:02.000 And then I watched Al Sharpton on MSNBC and he's saying, well, somebody might have seen the noose and then assigned Bubba to that garage.
00:17:12.000 So that tells me that he might still be the victim here.
00:17:16.000 Or someone tied that noose, assuming someday Bubba would show up in that garage. 0.99
00:17:22.000 And I just thought to myself, these guys are willing to make massive idiots of themselves just to keep this narrative alive. 0.99
00:17:31.000 And it's just a reminder of how little racism there is in America. 0.99
00:17:35.000 If there is racism in America, you don't have to make up racism in America. 0.96
00:17:40.000 You don't have to tell the world that the Hispanic George Zimmerman who shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense is a white racist killer.
00:17:49.000 You don't have to manufacture hands up, don't shoot when the guy was killed, when Michael Brown was killed trying to take a police officer's gun.
00:17:57.000 And we've had countless hoaxes, countless racial hoaxes over the past 10 years.
00:18:03.000 Over 100 of them is documented at Breitbart.com.
00:18:06.000 And this is the ninth noose hoax.
00:18:10.000 So, you know, Al Sharpton is plugged in.
00:18:13.000 I mean, if anybody says anything insensitive, he's going to hear about it.
00:18:17.000 And he's still forced to invent nonsense.
00:18:21.000 And that just tells you how little racism there is in America.
00:18:23.000 I mean, look at what's going on now.
00:18:25.000 We just had two terms of a black president.
00:18:27.000 Donald Trump just signed criminal justice reform into law. 0.56
00:18:31.000 I don't know of a single human being.
00:18:34.000 I don't know, even on even on the cesspool that could be social media.
00:18:37.000 I don't know of a single human being who thought what happened to George Floyd was okay.
00:18:42.000 We were together on that as a country.
00:18:44.000 And this is what they're rioting over, even though everyone in the country thinks what happened to George Floyd was despicable.
00:18:50.000 And it just tells you there's no racism in this country.
00:18:53.000 There's no institutional racism.
00:18:55.000 There's no systemic racism. 1.00
00:18:56.000 You're always going to have a few racist idiots. 1.00
00:18:59.000 But there's so little racism in America, they have to invent it. 1.00
00:19:02.000 And that says a lot about the greatness of our country.
00:19:05.000 I completely agree.
00:19:06.000 And I think that we are actually a systemically decent country.
00:19:11.000 We're systemically un-racist, if you will.
00:19:14.000 I think that you have to go out of your way to conjure up and conjecture.
00:19:18.000 You have to just create the hatred.
00:19:21.000 And it's not to say that there's not there.
00:19:22.000 It's not there in certain very isolated incidents, but it is not widespread.
00:19:27.000 It is not systemic.
00:19:29.000 And so here's a question I have for you.
00:19:31.000 Do you think that the moderate progressives and the center left Americans can ever put down their hatred of Donald Trump and essentially wake this, you know, wake up to all this craziness?
00:19:41.000 I mean, when, when does the, when do the Bill Maher of the world who are starting to kind of signal of it, signal this or just say, this is enough?
00:19:49.000 And you, you kind of have operated in that world of Hollywood.
00:19:53.000 Um, you've kind of been in that world where they're, they're, they're happy to advocate for all this nonsense until it actually comes for them.
00:20:00.000 I mean, the National Basketball Association is painting their courts, Black Lives Matter. 0.54
00:20:05.000 Um, you have, I think the NFL says you could put things on the back of your jersey that will be a social justice statement.
00:20:12.000 Oh, the NBA might have done that, which is interesting.
00:20:14.000 I don't think any of them will have free Hong Kong on the back of their NBA jersey, which I think would be the ultimate social justice statement.
00:20:21.000 I get this question all the time, John, and I'd love to have you help unpack this for me.
00:20:28.000 When will the left stop this campaign of destruction for our country?
00:20:34.000 I think they never will stop.
00:20:35.000 They are a force that must be stopped.
00:20:37.000 They won't stop themselves.
00:20:38.000 So, I'd love to get your take on that.
00:20:40.000 What you're going to see happen is what they're doing is what they did to the Boy Scouts.
00:20:48.000 So, you take a program like the Boy Scouts, which everybody loves and everybody, you know, it's just part of traditional America. 0.82
00:20:58.000 And then you attack the Boy Scouts because they won't accept homosexual scout masters, and which is a perfectly valid thing for the Boy Scouts not to do. 0.88
00:21:09.000 I don't want a straight man overseeing young girls in the same way I don't want a gay man overseeing young boys.
00:21:16.000 It has nothing to do with opposing or being prejudiced against gay people.
00:21:20.000 It just, you don't do that.
00:21:22.000 You don't put men in that situation, whether it's young boys or young girls, depending on their sexuality.
00:21:27.000 But then you beat up the Boy Scouts, the Boy Scouts cave.
00:21:31.000 And then what happens to the Boy Scouts?
00:21:33.000 They destroy themselves because no one wants to be part of an organization that's going to do something like that.
00:21:38.000 But that's the plan.
00:21:39.000 They wanted to pressure the Boy Scouts into the Boy Scouts caved and then they destroyed themselves.
00:21:44.000 So what's happening?
00:21:45.000 What's happening?
00:21:46.000 Well, off the radar, what's happening throughout the whole country is that their localities, localities are having their little boys get together and they're teaching them how to hunt and they're teaching them how to fish.
00:21:58.000 Instead of a national organization that the left can attack, it's just happening very organically at the local level where boys are getting together and men are showing them how to do this and men are showing them how to do that.
00:22:08.000 It's very healthy.
00:22:10.000 It's better if we're balkanized that way.
00:22:12.000 It's going to be the same thing with sports.
00:22:14.000 The reason that they're going after the NFL and they're going after the NBA is to destroy these institutions.
00:22:21.000 What you're going to see is what happened during the whole Copernic thing.
00:22:25.000 The ticket sales are going to go down, viewership's going to go down.
00:22:28.000 It's going to cost them money.
00:22:29.000 And what are we going to do as Americans?
00:22:31.000 Well, we're going to get more involved in college sports.
00:22:33.000 We're going to get more involved in high school sports.
00:22:36.000 And we're just going to turn locally.
00:22:39.000 Now, eventually, this stuff is going to wear itself out because people are going to get tired of it.
00:22:44.000 And eventually the people that are doing it are going to grow up a little bit.
00:22:46.000 They're going to mature a little bit.
00:22:48.000 And then they're going to say, you know what?
00:22:49.000 We got to make some money here.
00:22:50.000 And it's just, and instead of it being a loss, you know, Donald Trump says, stop kneeling.
00:22:57.000 Okay.
00:22:57.000 The NFL says we're going to stop kneeling and the left feels a loss.
00:23:01.000 I think it's just going to trickle its way out.
00:23:02.000 But again, like the cities that are about to be hit with urban blight, it's going to take a while.
00:23:07.000 We're probably looking at a decade before this works itself out.
00:23:12.000 And so, yeah, this kind of idea of when we actually think this is going to end is when I get all the time.
00:23:20.000 People say, well, Charlie, when's the left going to stop destroying the country?
00:23:24.000 And I'm not convinced they're capable of that.
00:23:26.000 I think that is actually what they want.
00:23:28.000 I mean, they're a force of destruction.
00:23:30.000 You could look at almost any revolution in the last hundred years.
00:23:34.000 It's not exactly like the left is masters at building.
00:23:37.000 They are, they're quite determined at societal and cultural destruction.
00:23:42.000 And this is, of course, more like the French Revolution.
00:23:44.000 They're still trying to figure themselves out all the way back from the 1780s in France.
00:23:48.000 Still have, you know, I think, a some revolt every other week in some ways, and they have not a central canon that allows them to believe in, you know, first principles and and in a republic.
00:24:00.000 So other question i'm going to ask here John, which is just more broadly, I got a lot of conservatives that ask.
00:24:06.000 They say, what can I do?
00:24:07.000 What can I do to fight this, because they feel like they're losing their country?
00:24:11.000 You know, you were, you fought alongside the amazing Andrew Breitbart, who made the world a better place seriously, and his legacy lives on still to this day.
00:24:20.000 What, what can good patriots do from all across the country to help fight against this?
00:24:27.000 You know, just advance of of leftist carnage everywhere we see across our country.
00:24:34.000 I would first just try to have a perspective on it.
00:24:39.000 Um, this is a very small segment of the country.
00:24:43.000 It's even a small segment of the left, and it's just being blown up right now by by the media.
00:24:51.000 It's being blown up.
00:24:52.000 I mean, if you look at the polls, overwhelmingly it's.
00:24:55.000 I mean it's a little disturbing that 25 of people want to defund the police, but it's still 75 who don't.
00:25:01.000 And right now you have the Democrats, like Biden and Pelosi.
00:25:04.000 They're.
00:25:05.000 They're playing into all this because they know that they have to, but when push comes to shove, I mean, are we really going to defund the police?
00:25:13.000 And if we do, how long is that going to last?
00:25:15.000 So I think people just need to keep it.
00:25:17.000 Don't let yourself be demoralized because everyone's trying to make you feel like you're outnumbered right now.
00:25:23.000 And honestly, with with people on the left, 97 of things we have in common with them, and the media divides us because they focus on the dumb things that we don't agree with, but on our basic humanity we have a lot in common with them.
00:25:39.000 But do not surrender, do not kneel, do not spout racist things like black lives matter.
00:25:47.000 Be confident.
00:25:48.000 I mean, when I live, when I was working in Hollywood and people asked me if I was a Republican, I would always say, I don't like to be called a Republican, I prefer right-wing extremists.
00:25:57.000 And you just, you just tell them right then.
00:25:59.000 And there you know, don't ask me, don't ask me, but something like.
00:26:03.000 But you don't like Ann Coulter, do you?
00:26:05.000 I said no, I love Ann Coulter, don't?
00:26:08.000 You have to be confident in what you believe in.
00:26:10.000 You have to stand up for it.
00:26:12.000 Do not let them, intimidate you, because part of my persona online is belligerence and and i'm not like that personally, but it's just, you need to let these people know that you are unafraid and that you believe in what you believe in and that you'll walk into any arena and and so don't back down, don't give in a little bit.
00:26:33.000 Um, that's the other thing.
00:26:35.000 And but, and stay online, work towards it.
00:26:38.000 Uh, let your opinions be known.
00:26:41.000 And the other thing I would strongly recommend everyone do, if you live in the city, get out, because things are i've seen this before things are going to get bad.
00:26:49.000 You have to get out of the city.
00:26:50.000 And the other good thing about getting out of the city is that if you live in rural America, like I do, you gain some perspective that the world is not insane, things are not going crazy.
00:27:01.000 It's only happening in these Democrat Run cities, and that perspective is very, very helpful.
00:27:07.000 And at least when you turn off the computer and you put down the phone, things are sane, things are calm, things are normal.
00:27:13.000 And I think you know I haven't watched cable news in three years.
00:27:16.000 I still cover the media, but I haven't watched it in three years because it so weren't my perspective.
00:27:21.000 I I wasn't doing a good job, so it doesn't help to hate watch cable news.
00:27:27.000 It doesn't help to think you have to be on twitter 24, 7 saving the world.
00:27:32.000 Um, you know you need to get away.
00:27:33.000 You need to get some perspective.
00:27:34.000 I think that's.
00:27:35.000 That's crucial too.
00:27:39.000 John Nolte was handpicked by Andrew Breitbart.
00:27:41.000 Andrew Breitbart is an American hero.
00:27:43.000 Absolutely incredible.
00:27:44.000 We all miss him.
00:27:45.000 He actually passed away about a month before I got officially involved in the political movement when I was a senior in high school, just about eight years ago.
00:27:53.000 Incredible.
00:27:54.000 And so, God bless Andrew Breitbart and Breitbart News and all the great people over there: Alex Marlowe, John Nolte, Matt Boyle, Larry Solov, and all of them over there doing incredible work for our country in a variety of different ways.
