And the Hey, it's Andrew Clavin, and this is this week's interview with John Nolte, famously

of Bright Barton, now the author of Borrowed Time.

I just want to take a second before we talk to John to talk about Andrew Brightbart

and how Brightbart site got started.

Andrew was a friend of mine.

Maybe some of you guys, your younger guys don't remember who he was,

but he was one of the most important conservative media voices in the early, in the 2000s,

and one of the only voices in conservatism along with Nolte who understood

the culture and he really went about Los Angeles collecting every talented conservative around and bringing them together so they could make

stuff and talk to each other and develop and be heard and collaborate and

there was I would I think it's safe to say there was almost nothing about

Andrew Brightpart that was like Jesus

except for that except for the fact that he walked around collecting people and saying to him basically

now I'm going to make you fishers of men and he did you know I mean some of the people

he brought together there was me

there was Ben Shapiro Stephen Crowder Jeremy Boring

uh... alfonso Rachel bill whittle i mean just about anybody who came out of the

California conservative movement was, you know, a bright bar at

find and at some point and of course John Nolte himself. But I was, he started out

with a site called Big Hollywood, which was that the whole point was to attack the culture and as he said to make a warm place where people could come in who were who felt that they had been excluded from the culture and I was very honored to write one of the first pieces and

I've told this story on the show before but it was called Why We Fight and I wrote this piece and

the piece went up it was the first day of big Hollywood the the first Bright Bart site, and Rush Limbaugh read it on the air.
