2:00 am
greta wire.com, see you. buy. >> everything has changed in the last few years. conservatives used to take it and we're not taking it anymore. >> we have an obligation to fight back. >> the media said breitbart lies. breitbart lies. give me an example of a proven lie? one. >> i'm from los angeles. i have never claimed to be that deep. i kind of would describe myself, kind of describe myself as holly goes lightly with a gut. >> there are two paths. one is america. and the other one is occupy. one is america, the other one is occupy. >> greg: andrew breitbart died this morning. 43.
2:01 am
publicist, activator and commentator. that says nothing. he was a bar your. perhaps the most jovial warrior i've seen. the least angry guy i've ever met. though he embraced the battle for conservative principles, he did it with joy and humor. every action, opinion or motive came from a place of love. he loved his wonderful life. he loved his friends, he loved his crazy life and he loved america. everything he did he did because he thought it was right. for those who didn't know him, man, you missed out. even though who disliked the ideas, within five minutes of meeting him loved him. he was a big kid who treated the opponents like humans. it was never about people. always, always about principles. i wouldn't be here if it wasn't for andrew breitbart. i met him when he ran the huffing top post and we bonded instantly. we shared the same humor, same music and the same refusal to take most things seriously. we played the fool proudly. he was the one who told fox news about me. so you can blame andrew for me being here today.
2:02 am
more importanters he was the spiritual leader of the modern conservative movement. today we lost our toughest general. his biggest contribution to make it okay to call b.s. to push back on perceived wisdom. a rebel who took on enormous forces because he believed they were sapping our freedom. what guts this guy had. >> he grew comfortable in a role that electrified people. no telling where he might have taken it. the left has their andrew breitbarts but the right never had such a thing until andrew came along. that is a true test of a visionary. someone who reminds us of nobody else. is it rude to wonder who can replace him? because we need more breitbarts. this country needs them. i know it's not me. i'm not brave enough. even i'm out here swinging but i don't have his guts. so our biggest tribute to him is to continue his fight, but adopting his fearless manner with love, with wit and with joy. he inspired more people than he will ever know. it's now our turn to return the favor.
2:03 am
if i can be selfish he was a great, great drinking buddy. unbelievably smart and mischievous. partner in crime and hilariously funny. andrew, thank you for everything you did for me and for us. i kind of screwed up there. i meant to say he loved his wonderful family and his wonderful life. he had a fantastic family. suzie and the kids were amazing. and it's a shock. and for them and for by condolences go out to them. they are amazing group of people. eric, i know you had him on your show in the past. he is one of those characters cs that you love having on the show because he is equally intense. and funny. and you can't find that in everybody. >> eric: not only equally intense and funny, hearse the same on-air as off-air. as you probably spent time with him outside tv, too.
2:04 am
great guy. when you think of acorn you think of andrew. when you think of the tea party patriots, immediately you think of andrew. when you think of cpac or occupy, taking on occupy, andrew breitbart name and face shows up in your mind. one man, one voice. he was powerful and he led the path for other conservative voices. i. i'm a tiny voice and he was a big warrior general type of voice. he blazed the trail for a lot of people who want to live in the conservative world. can i just very quickly, a couple other on curvesive voices on his death. sarah palin called him a warrior who stood on the side of what was right. rush limbaugh called him a bulldog. matt drudge said he was constantly a man filled with energy, passion and commitment. those are big names and important people who saw andrew as i guess as important as we all do here. >> greg: yeah. dana, this guy, he wasn't like a lot -- he wasn't what you call a typical conservative. he was something new and
2:05 am
something different. >> dana: well, he lived in los angeles. let's start with that. one of the things i found today in reading some of the commentary, let's set aside the ridiculousness of some of the left, we can talk about it later if we want, an amazing number of people, including young women who said i felt like he gave me the comfort to be okay with what i believe. and to be able to stand up proudly and say it. for a lot of people that have conservative views, they sort of tiptoe around the offense, or work in an industry that won't be popular so they never say anything. you can come to fox or go to biggovernment.com and you can find out, find people who thought the way you did. that was comforting. >> greg: yeah. well, he was always the outsider. i think -- that's why we bonded. i worked the media magazines and he delivered pizza and brats wurst. you're always the odd man out.
2:06 am
that is how you bond. did you ever have run-ins with him? >> kimberly: no. i'm friends with him and i was very sad this morning when i found out what happened. he was the singularly bravest individual i met that worked in television and journalism. i admired him every day for the courage to say what he thought no matter what anybody thought. he was so strong. he didn't even let it get to him. when he would see what people would do and say horrible things, i would get so offended by what they'd write or say on twitter because they were afraid of him. he would retweet them. how great is that? yep, call me whatever you want. le tweet it out, kind of with glee. a strong man. especially his children should be so proud of him to have a father that was so brave. and courageous. it teaches them the lesson that there isn't anything in life that can be said about him or happen, that won't have the inner strength for who they come from. >> greg: bob, you on the other side of the political spectrum, but one thing about you, and andrew that you have
2:07 am
in common, it goes out the window. >> -- -- >> bob: yeah. i was going to say i listened to all of your testimonies about him. the greatest testimony i can be, be on the other side. i got the hell beat out of me from the other side. the loving and kind not about people thing may well be your view of it. those of us that took the receiving end of it, i tell you one thing, it felt differently. i took him on over what i thought and will say again despite his death was the shar rad tape. he let me have it right away. he never let it linger. he came right at me. he and i finally, hannity brokered a meeting between the two of us and we went on for four hours and realize we drank in the same places in new orleans and any number of other places and we told raucous stories about our extracurricular activities. i like the guy a lot. he's a good friend of my
2:08 am
brothers, because he is in los angeles. my brother is a conservative as you know. he and breitbart and a group of them get together to meet. >> dana: in secret? >> bob: yeah. i saw, i think he did lose a warrior in the sense that i always noticed about conservatives that in the younger conservative leadership seems to be more, you know, in writing or cerebral. only one that got in your face but i didn't think that ann coulter did not serve you well. in breitbart's case, he did. you are missing a general. good way to put it. >> eric: can i relate one of my fondest breitbart's stories and nothing to do with anything he did here. when he broke the anthony weiner stuff, the pictures of the congressman on the cell? everyone was waiting on edge for weiner to make his announcement. everybody line up at the new york hilton hotel.
2:09 am
podium there. nothing going on. next thing you know, literally, every media outlet is there. next thing you know, andrew breitbart says look, he just grabbed it and said all the pictures are true. weiner will come out and tell you he was lying. andrew at his best. >> kimberly: how great was that? at fox news, went down the street. >> dana: the other thing about him i think is worth pointing out from a younger conservative perspective, it's conventional wisdom that conservatives were well behind the curve with new media. in the 2004 and 2008 election. liberals and democrats really taken the ball and run with it. he was a visionary and not afraid to take risks as we established. he did it with his business as well. showed, you know, sort of blazed a trail for other new media types. and conservatives to be able to have a choice on the internet. now i actually think that conservatives have caught up with liberals on that part. it's helped them tremendously. >> kimberly: they found
2:10 am
courage, right? >> dana: to share information quickly amongst each other. >> greg: he started at drum and helped launch adrianna huffn post and now he has a hollywood empire. i hope it keeps going. other thing about new media is the idea of the phrasing pop culture. i said this before, you know, pop culture represents america to the world. conservatives in general shy away from pop culture. we don't like those bands or those tv shows. breitbart said that's where you got to go. you have to get your kids to join a band. you have to go to the movies and do this stuff. you forgrit that to the other folks you lose that. >> kimberly: for no good reason, yeah. >> greg: he was there. we have a montage here. some of the early reaction on hearing the sad news. take it away. >> what a huge loss. certainly for the conservative movement.
2:11 am
>> as intense as he was in his arguments, he was able to see what people will really like beyond their politics. >> i have known very few people in my life that lived life to the hilt the way andrew did. >> he lived his principles out every day, 24/7. what you saw is what you got. champion of freedom. >> he was one of the most fearless people i ever knew. it's hard to -- >> dana: interesting to me, that was jonah goldberg who is also one of the most fearless people i know, who lives in a similar way to be able to say i don't care what you think about me. i'm going to tell you what i think and write beautifully and let the chips fall where they may. >> greg: breitbart is one of the few people i know that lived without a safety net.
2:12 am
he never thought about his health, he never thought about money. he thought about life and going out and fighting. >> bob: funny you say one of the things, the last time i saw breitbart was the night of the concert, holiday concert. he and i were back talking about drinking stories and other things. he said, i said you and i both need to lose some weight, buddy. we run -- in a lot of ways, this is how i related to the guy. i don't have a filter. he may not have a safety net. as you know, i have no filter. on my side of the aisle i'm known as the person that will not, don't take prisoners. andrew was like that, too. the difference with him and the rest of them, conservatives get up on the stage and they're angry, in many cases it looks ugly to me. in this case it looked jovially ugly. you look back and said that guy, he's all right. i don't agree with a thing he says but i like the fact he
2:13 am
has the guts he has got. on your side of the table, you have a lot of think tank people. you have a lot of people. frankly, a lot of boring people. he was not boring. i'll say that. >> kimberly: some of the candidates could do well to take a page from his book. >> bob: look at every one of the testimonies. >> kimberly: dynamic individual. you can't have a bad time when you are with him. it hung out with him and ann coulter on hannity. interesting. >> greg: this guy went to a counterprotest. not sure if it's in nevada, maybe it was southern california. encountered tea party protest. he showed up on roller blades. it took the protesters. the liberal protesters to applebee's for lunch. that was the kind of guy he was. he generally liked people who were active and interested in life. included those who hated him. they would walk away going i can't hate this guy. >> kimberly: smart. >> greg: goes for the stuff on the internet you see things like this jackass saying he is glad he's dead. the guy from "rolling stone."
2:14 am
this is cowardly. go on to this enormous world and these things. he would never have the cojones to said that. >> bob: let me say that. i spoke to several people on another topic today that i'm still working on. the conversation came up about andrew breitbart, not a bad word said about him. if you brought up other people prominent names like the other person you went drinking with that night, you'd get firm comments, none of him which would be allowed on tv. i didn't hear, it was, in a way the left is going to miss jousting with the guy. he did scare us. i wouldn't say i got scared. but we're the same size. but he did intimidate a lot of people on the left. frankly, many, you don't have to scare -- you don't have many conservatives to scare us. you just don't. >> kimberly: grrr. >> greg: we got to go. i'm still hoping this is a
2:15 am
hoax. i just hope that it's some elaborate plan created by andrew breitbart. i wouldn't anything past him. >> kimberly: walk through the door. >> greg: i know. we'll be back in a minute. please stay with us. ♪ ♪
