I said, or I could kind of be in the wilderness and I would be alone and I would be radioactive.

But I could challenge the credibility and legitimacy of the conservative movement and its claim to represent conservatives.

And that was kind of the mission was to say, no, the immovable standard is America first.

I'm going to represent it.

And the conservative movement is going to have to move to me.

I will not move towards them.

And I thought maybe I'll make money and maybe I won't, but I'm going to try it for a couple of years and I'll see how it goes.

Well, I kind of took a page from Trump's playbook, which is that you have to... In the country, the left was hegemonic over all the institutions.

And you have this organized opposition to the left and the Democrats and all the left-wing controlled institutions.

And the organized opposition comes from movement conservatism, the Republican Party, Fox News, you know, the sort of constellation of conservative institutions.

And I said...

The problem is, whether you go Democrat or you go Republican, you're kind of just like getting the same thing.

You're getting the establishment effectively.

The opposition is basically controlled or moderated.

It's not authentic opposition.

It's not a true alternative.

And so I said...

We, and by we, I mean the true America first nationalists, we need to fight for the mantle of the opposition.

And then leading the opposition, then we can take the fight to the left as the conservatives, as the Republicans, whatever.

But first you have to win that internal battle among the audience that the conservatives have.
