because a lot of people do consume breitbart as news even if it isn't. looking at this analysis. >> this right. and because i think it was 200,000 articles. ai can do this in a way that human beings can't. it tells us something that we may not even recognize about ourselves. it is studying the adjectives and where they are placed in the stories. it's not our bias, it is our actual sentiment, the words we're actually using. so it is something we need to be conscious of. >> real quick before i let you go, how much do you trust this ai? >> i trust it somewhat. we don't have anything else that's ever been able to quantify it. it is better than no numbers at all. >> it's fascinating. look at the excel spreadsheets. that's where it gets interesting. dana, thank you. >> thank you. >>> the parents of a michigan teen accused of killing four of his classmates. >> i am not a traitor. every business is on a journey. and along the ride, you'll find many challenges. ♪ your dell technologies advisor can help you find the right tech solutions. so you can stop at nothing

named after its founder, andrew breitbart.bart news would launch the alt-right into the mainstream. >> this tea party energy. there was a populous power. this was something totally different. this wasn't standard republican party and breitbart became the blog site for that. >> curt bardelo, former breitbart spokesperson, said the aim was to change america, and bannon directed it. >> truth and facts aren't words there. the goal isn't objectivity. it's more about what does the conservative side believe about this and how do they amplify that? >> breitbart's headlines were built on fear, fear that the second amendment was being threatened, fear of obama, and most of all, fear of illegal immigrants. >> this is why bannon and trump are so perfect for each other because they're ultimately perpetuating a massive con. these are people who could give two craps about their base. >> trump had emerged as the perfect candidate to drive bannon's alt-right vision straight to the white house and it would be perfectly timed with the rise of so

i turn now to kurt bar della, he used to advise steve bannon and breitbart before repudiatingrep.ke on this right-wing talk of violence, of civil war? >> it's a steady escalation that we've seen for years now. it started with donald trump declaring things like the free press being the enemy of the people, inciting violence against the media. we've seen it in the run-up to the 2020 election, the promise that if they didn't get the result that they wanted there would be hell to pay, there would be mayhem. we saw it on january 6, those words turn into actions. these people, this audience, the republican party, these extremists don't take what they're saying as sport or casual conversation, they take it as gospel and treat it as marching orders. we've seen it ever since january 6th. the republican deliberate effort to try to whitewash what happened and evangelize. it's all leading towards more violence, more mayhem. at the end of the day, the republican party has blood on its hands. >> kurt, you saw firsthand how breitbart galvanized people. do you see echos of that same playbook in w

you are definitely behind the curve as andrew breitbart said politics is downstream of culture. as my pastor chris durkin said a couple of months ago culture is down street stream of faith. we used to worship an almighty god. now we worship an almighty government and a false europe un promise. there is a way to fight back and not enough time tonight i will leave that for the special next month it starts with me and starts with you. it's been heartening to see parents stand up at school boards and fight back. as my mother did the same thing in the 1990s at our local school board did. things change? not really. kind of like charging 4 to 5 machine gun nests with nerf guns, we honor the charge. it's not changing the system. it's totally. it stars in our homes, churches and our schools. including new schools. you have never heard of classic call christian education. you should take a look at it 31% of young americans believe america is exceptional. they don't know history. they don't know the world. and it's scary. as abraham lincoln said, the philosophy of the school room in one ge

he's appeared on npr, travel channel, pcn tv, breitbart, and talk travel radio. i would now like to present to you james hesler who's going to be presenting his program, neutral ground. >> thank you, tammy, for the introduction. i was going to tell you do not go too far because i do not have the remote clicker, but i think i do now so we're in great shape. what a ground. this is humbling to see people literally standing in back. i've got kind of these bright studio lights shining in my face, but i still recognize a lot of familiar faces back there. and boy, i hope this is good otherwise i'm in a little bit of trouble. as tammy said i'm going to do neutral ground, and that's kind of the theme here tonight. it's both a military assessment as well as a little tweak at historians to make sure when we're evaluating the so-called controversy associated with this we, too, are sticking to neutral ground. so a little bit of a play on words there. let me make sure i can get the clicker going. yeah, so i'm actually doing a bit of a crossover between two of my books, the sic

but breitbart. ultimately ended up on team trump.the couple has had an on again off again relationship, with friendship steve bannon, who shares their affinity for troll politics. that working relationship took a turn in 2019, when they held bannon starter groups called we build the wall. an organization which raise tens of millions of dollars for trump supporters, in order to privately fund a privately constructed border wall. they didn't build three miles about of. the whole thing came tumbling down when bannon, along with others was arrested. bannon arrested on the all of a chinese billionaire, why not. charged with embezzling some of the money that he duped trump space into donating. kind of a mean thing to do to people that trust. you never saw trial for. stockton and lawrence, they had their rv raided by law enforcement. been stuck in a state of legal limbo. now bannon, he had that taking care of, because he was pardoned by trump before trump left office. on the last day if i recall correctly. stockton and lawrence have not yet

john kelly the retired general as chief of staff one of his main jobs was getting breitbart articles not printed out and put on the president's desk. it seems like meadows it was the exact opposite. >> because he knew it would please the president. all they want to do the please the president and say oh, here is another cockamamie legal theory we'll throw out at you and you'll love it which is what occurred we know now. >> also the vice president's team was thinking very different things and behaving in a very different manner. i think credit still very much due to vice president pence that even in the face of prominent members of congress sort of forwarding and lending credence to this theory if that is what happened here he still held firm. >> they were yelling hang mike pence. i'm sure there could have been violence against other members of congress, other democrats. but the one they were targeting so voekly was mike pence. i wanted to ask you, this group of prominent conservatives, including former lawmakers sending a letter to kechb mccarthy the house republican leader calling h

former president so bannon was on the outs of the white house but he also had lost his platform breitbart so he's a man without a country so even republicans were willing to assert himself for the first time when wehad a witness like many others who have come before the committee before but now there willing to assert themselves and say you got to respond to our questions and when he didn't , he had come in voluntarily and they gave him a subpoena on the spot so months later he comes back in under subpoena. this is happening before the capital, we wanted to bring people into that bunker and show them whathappened though he shows up .this time he brings with him a list of 25 questions written out in advance and he says these are the only questions i'm going to answer and i've prepared them for you and here are the answers. no, no, no, 25 no and when i asked him where did this list come from it came from the white house.which was the substance of our investigation so the investigation wrote out for a key witness the only questions that he would be allowed to answer and the republicans again

and they worked on the quote unquote special projects desk for breitbart.ell me they report directly to him. and these special projects included sort of somewhere between mischief making and dirty tricks, including embedding with bernie sanders protesters and spurring the anti-hillary clinton protests at the dnc in 2016. so they've had this long association with high-level figures on the right, including amy kramer. dustin stockton met her in the tea party world and she went on to lead women for america first, which as you know was the main organization that got the permit for the ellipse rally. so they have a long history in republican circles. >> so one of the things here, so there's the ellipse rally, and there's no -- we know that was organized. we know members of congress were involved. mo brooks spoke at it. we saw john eastman spoke. the president of the united states spoke there. we saw the trump crew like in the tent, right? they were involved in that ellipse rally. they were some of the chief organizers of that, right? >> so you made such an impor

they had a long association with steve bannon when he was at breitbart.rs that tried to use private funds to erect walls along the border. they say the things that sort of turned the tide for them were these words from president trump, the 120 words of his over an hour long speech on the ellipse where he did call people to march to the capitol. according to both of them, that was fully against the planning for the ellipse rally, and they knew it would be dangerous. another thing that they cited to me in our extensive conversations was feeling abandoned by president trump. i've broken the news for "rolling stone" that matt whitaker and matt sh lap helped set up a legal fund for the trump campaign and white house aides involved in the ellipse planning. justin and jen have had no access to similar support. i think their unique position where, you know, they have these high level inner circle connections but aren't all the way in has given them a little bit of a vantage point to the situation that the rank and file trump supporters who heeded his call and cam

pc on tv breitbart and civil war talk radio and he was featured in july 2013 issue of civil war monitor magazine. i would now like to present to you james hasler who was going to be presenting his program neutral ground sickles mead and the gettysburg peach. orchard. all right. thank you tammy for the introduction. i was going to tell you to not go too far because i did not have the remote clicker, but i think i do now, so we're in good shape. wow, what a crowd. this is this is really humbling to see people literally standing in back. i've got kind of these bright studio lights shining in my face, but i i still recognize a lot of familiar faces back there and boy, i hope this is good. otherwise, i'm in a little bit of trouble. okay, so is tammy said i'm gonna do neutral ground and that's kind of the theme here tonight. it's both a military assessment of the mead sickles controversy as well as a little tweak at historians and gettysburg enthusiasts to make sure that when we're evaluating the the so called controversy associated with this that we too are sticking to neutral ground. so a l

google stifled conservative leaning outlets at the daily caller, breitbart and the federalist during the 2020 election season with breitbart search visibility shrinking by 99% compared to the 2016 election cycle. apple stifled a partner app. google and amazon web services did so as well. these practices have distinct political effects. the media research center found in 2020 that one in six biden voters claimed it would've modified their vote had they been aware of information was actively suppressed by tech companies. 52% of americans believe suppression of the hunter biden laptop story constitute election interference. these erode our culture of free speech, chill open discourse and engender self-censorship. all while the taliban, the chinese communist party and iranian officials spew their genocidal rhetoric on american-owned platforms. big tech is also working hand in glove with the government to do its bidding. jen psaki admitted from the white house podium that the government is communicating with facebook to single out post for censorship. the outlook is grim. a lack of accoun

and fox news spawned, you know, owens, fox news spawned breitbart but fundamentally if you think of themerica and i think the world today, fox news is more damaging a player in that than donald trump is. because talks news gave rise because of the poison in the soil they put in our country, to donald trump and all the players in this system that put us in this situation and i would say not just damaging our democracy what fox news has done, the lies they put out on public health, on the pandemic we're in the middle of. the lies, that has not allowed us to deal with it, that is tied to fox new's lies, the lies they put out about climate change which is a global threat to the planet including our country which we see every single day manifesting itself in weather crises and weather events, that's tied to the lies fox news told in this so i would say fox news, yes, they're specifically responsible for this and i hope they're held accountable in the midst of this, but we don't spend enough time on who put the poison in the soul of our democracy, in the soil of our democracy, and the soul, i

you say something inflammatory you get picked up by breitbart and cross over to fox and that's how youwin their next election. >> what is the line? how far could they go and have kevin mccarthy and leadership say nothing? they've eye accused colleagues of being terrorists because of their faith. would kevin mccarthy do anything? >> he has demonstrated by not doing anything in this case that he's scared to police his own caucus. when you have the cross fit woman going on steve bannon's show saying she is the base now, that she reflects the base, letting this group present themselves as the base which i still don't think they are but they've sure ignited a lot of fervor. do you think this is the base? >> they're not the base but the crazies, the more racist things they say, the more money they make and that is the difference between 20 years ago and now if you offended the leadership, if you offended the group of members then your fund-raising would dry up. we saw it happen a couple years ago. they take you off the committee. for these people the more racist, bigoted things they say, the
