James O'Keefe

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.

This is Andrew Breitbart.

This is Andrew Breitbart.

No, we spoke, I mean, Andrew, him and I, this man you just saw, him and I spoke 10 times a day. I mean, he was constantly talking to me and then he died and I was alone. I found the quote. I need to read this on the air, please. Quote, This is the investigator reporter who exposed drug trafficking with the CIA and getting drugs in America, Gary Webb.

I was winning awards, getting raises, lecturing college classes, appearing on TV shows and judging journalism contests. I won the Pulitzer Prize. And then I wrote some stories that made me realize how sadly misplaced my bliss had been. The reason I'd enjoyed such smooth sailing in my career for so long hadn't been, as I'd assumed, because I was careful and diligent and good at my job.

The truth was that in all those years, I hadn't written anything important enough to suppress. Gary Webb to kill a messenger, shot himself in the head twice. Everyone that has come before me and who extreme truth tellers have been like, you think of even historically, like in a much larger scale, They've been assassinated.

What are the odds that the day that... That's a little suspicious.
