You mean like how did he die?
I don't have any inside information. I know his wife would always say to me, don't tell people that he was killed. Andrew had a heart condition. He had an enlarged heart, I believe. And the doctor said, you've got to stop eating all this steak and drinking all this wine. You have to stop traveling. And I think he just truly pushed himself. That's my belief.

I would share with the audience if I had any evidence of foul play. All I have is circumstantial evidence. I have no direct evidence. He dropped dead of a heart attack at 43. This was March 1st, 2012. I was 27. He was my mentor. Did you ever meet him? Never. Andrew was a remarkable man. He edited the Drudge Report at the time. He would tweet like a thousand times a day.

He was filled with righteous indignation. This is a different world 12 years ago. The media was different. You could like engage with legacy media. You could tweet back and forth. You could have conversations. And he was a mentor of mine. We were very different people. He was more of an extrovert. I was, at the time, much more introverted. But he had a way about him. He was a warrior.

And that's what we shared in common. I think what I would characterize myself, I'm a journalist. I'm also a warrior. I'm at war all the time, constantly. And he was too. But it aged him. I'm now 40 years old. He died at 43, and in the last few years of his life, he just seemed to age.

And he took things personally, and he was angry and furious and righteous and indignant and tweeting every tweet at the reporter and holding them accountable. I've never met anyone like him. I still haven't met anyone like him. But I don't have any information about his death other than I know he had a heart condition.

There's this moment where Andrew Breitbart is talking to Dave Weigel. I know this well. And this is a perfect, perfect story. And the reporter's got his little pencil and paper. I don't know if they do that anymore. writing down, and Andrew goes, and Andrew is talking to the reporter, and he screams into the reporter notebook, fuck you, John Podesta. Only Andrew Breitbart.

He's talking to the reporter notebook, not to the guy, but to the masses the reporter's writing to. That is a quintessential Andrew Breitbart moment, and I understand him because I am similar in that particular way. He was righteously indignant taking on this mainstream media. Yeah, that's it, Rob. Watch this. Yeah, Rob. Watch this.
