<p><strong>Ben Shapiro takes a look at the true story of Thanksgiving &#8211; not the multiculturalism and socialism pushed by leftists every November. See video and transcript below:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BNL-cpbGygg" width="460" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>TRANSCRIPT:</p>
<p>THE REAL STORY OF THANKSGIVING</p>
<p>Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and once again we’ll be treated to the usual dumbed down version of the Thanksgiving story: white Europeans landed in America fleeing religious persecution, were too dumb to farm, and relied on the wise Native Americans to help them. Then they had a meal together and learned to share, after which the white Europeans genocided the Native Americans. Let’s watch some football!</p>
<p>The whole story is much more interesting. And it’s also not particularly friendly to leftists.</p>
<p>The Puritans who came to Massachusetts on the Mayflower weren’t emissaries of religious tolerance. They actually left liberal Holland to push for “the glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith,” as it says right in the Mayflower compact. Turns out that Christianity was more important than multiculturalism to the heroes of Plymouth Rock.</p>
<p>And Christianity, not multiculturalism, saved the Puritans. The first winter, half the new settlers died. That was because of drought and plague, and failure to understand the crops. Then Squanto showed up.</p>
<p>Squanto wasn’t just a Native American refugee from the Disney movie Pocahontas. He was a Christian. Apparently, Squanto was just a boy when he met the English for the first time – he was captured and sent back to England for training as a guide. In 1614, he returned to America with John Smith – but he was then kidnapped again by one of Smith’s men, sent back to Spain, and sold into slavery.</p>
<p>Spanish monks bought him and taught him Christianity. He somehow ended up in England, and earned the respect of an Englishman who paid for his passage back to the New World. In 1619, Squanto went home.<br />
But by the time he got back, his entire village had been killed by disease.</p>
<p>One year later, the Pilgrims showed up, settling in Squanto’s devastated village. Governor William Bradford wrote that Squanto “became a special instrument sent of God for [our] good…[he] never left us till he died.”<br />
It was Christian Squanto, not “native Americans” generally, who taught the Pilgrims how to farm.</p>
<p>With Squanto’s help, the Pilgrims survived to celebrate the first Thanksgiving in 1621. When he died one year later, he asked Bradford to pray for him so that he could “go to the Englishmen’s God in heaven.”<br />
But that wasn’t the end of the story, either.</p>
<p>The Pilgrims had set up a massive obstacle for themselves: their idea of a religious utopia was a giant commune. And like all communist organizations, it failed spectacularly.</p>
<p>Governor William Bradford wrote: “The failure of that experiment of communal service, which was tried for several years, and by good and honest men, proves the emptiness of the theory of Plato and other ancients, applauded by some of later times – that the taking away of private property, and the possession of it in community, by a commonwealth, would make a state happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God…community of property was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment which would have been to the general benefit.”</p>
<p>Both men and women refused to work. Stealing became rampant.</p>
<p>So, what did the Puritans do? Bradford described it: in 1623, after the first Thanksgiving, they trashed the system: “The Governor, with the advice of the chief among them, allowed each man to plant corn for his own household…So every family was assigned a parcel of land. This was very successful.”</p>
<p>So successful that more than a century and a half later, George Washington explained the legacy of religious purity in his first Thanksgiving proclamation: “it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” And it is with thanks to God and his principles and the pursuit of his purity that we celebrate this Thanksgiving.</p>
<p><strong><em>Correction:</em></strong> The Puritans and Pilgrims were distinct groups; all references to the Puritans should be to the Pilgrims.</p>

<p><strong>The transcript and video of Ben Shapiro&#8217;s new production, &#8220;Amnesty Won&#8217;t Create Conservative Victories,&#8221; are below:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/tTXILmKdrjo" width="460" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>After the last election cycle, conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, wrote what has now become the conventional wisdom in conservative circles with regard to Hispanic immigrants:</p>
<blockquote><p>“They should be a natural Republican constituency: striving immigrant community, religious, Catholic, family-oriented and socially conservative (on abortion, for example). The principle reason they go Democratic is the issue of illegal immigrants.”</p></blockquote>
<p>This argument has driven many conservatives – including the entire upper echelon of the Republican Party – to push for legalization of millions upon millions of illegal immigrants. The solution Krauthammer suggests to the problem of shifting demographics is this, “Border fence plus amnesty. Yes, amnesty. Use the word.”</p>
<p>Reality Check: There are individual Hispanic immigrants who are conservative, but to suggest that conservatives are one piece of amnesty legislation away from victory across the broad swatch of Hispanic immigrants just ain&#8217;t true.</p>
<p>So, are Hispanics in America a Immigrants to the United States a striving immigrant community, religious, Catholic, family-oriented and socially conservative are no longer a natural conservative constituency?</p>
<p>Let’s look at the numbers.</p>
<p>According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 57% of new immigrant households with kids were using at least one welfare program in 2009. Over all, 37% of immigrant households are on a welfare program compared with just 22% of native-born Americans.</p>
<p>So yeah, immigrants are dependent on government by a far larger margin than native Americans. Which means they tend to lean left on the question of big government.</p>
<p>By the way, polls show that Hispanic immigrants lean left on the issue of big government. An April 2012 Pew Hispanic Poll showed 81% of Hispanics want bigger government with more services. Only 41% of Americans overall want bigger government with more services. Just 12% of Hispanic immigrants want smaller government with less services. Exit polls in 2012 showed that 61% of Hispanics wanted Obamacare expanded or left as is. Which makes sense. Virtually all of the countries from which Hispanic immigrants come are socialist in orientation. Many of them are socialist dictatorships, and America no longer bothers to push ideological integration into a small government philosophy.</p>
<p>How about the notion that Hispanics are a burgeoning religious class who agree with conservatives on social issues? Not so much. 53% of Hispanic children are now born out of wedlock. According to 2012 exit polls, 59% of Hispanics wanted same-sex marriage legalized, and 66% abortion should be legal in “most  or all cases.” And in their own lives, Hispanics are becoming less religious: one-in-four Hispanic adults, according to Pew, are now former Catholics. Rising numbers of Hispanics are non-religious. Overall, the Catholic share of Hispanics has dropped 12 percentage points over the last four years alone. And even so-called religious Catholic Hispanics tend toward leftism – the poll shows that 49% of Catholic Hispanics favor same-sex marriage. Overall, 58% of Catholic Hispanics identify as Democratic or leaning that way.</p>
<p>Does this sound a like a naturally conservative constituency just an amnesty away from voting for the right?</p>
<p>And yet that seems to be the conservative plan. Which is absolute lunacy. As Mark Steyn wrote after the 2012 election regarding amnesty notions, “So, if I follow correctly, instead of getting 27% of the 10% Hispanic vote, Republicans will get, oh, 38% of the 25% Hispanic vote, and sweep to victory.”</p>
<p>Amnesty is not the answer to wooing Hispanics voters to conservatism. Treating them as individuals with life stories and life experiences with deeply held principles, as opposed to broad stereotypes, is. Let&#8217;s teach both immigrants and native-born Americans why American values are important rather than pretending that a green card is going to buy conservatives love.</p>

<p><strong>Ben Shapiro exposes the truth behind the media-created myth of Gentle Giant Michael Brown, the unarmed teen gunned down in cold blood by a white racist cop for the crime of walking while black. Except that every part of that story is a lie. See the video and transcript below:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KMSO0CXnYtE" width="460" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>TRANSCRIPT: </strong></p>
<p>Everything you know about Michael Brown is a lie. The media, the politicians, the race-baiters &#8211; they all told you the story of the innocent young, unarmed black teen, the Gentle Giant, murdered in cold blood by a vicious white cop representing the evil establishment.</p>
<p>Al Sharpton, who is always first on the scene when a black person is killed by a white – or, in the case of St. Trayvon of the Blessed Hoodie, a white Hispanic – described Brown as a “gentle giant,” too. Over at Daily Kos, a writer described St. Michael as a “big guy who his family called their ‘Gentle Giant’…built to be a high school football player – direct from central casting – but Mike was too timid for the sport. According to friends and family, he had never been in a fight in his life.” CNN, The Daily Mail – all of them called him a “gentle giant.”</p>
<p>And the man who deprived the world of this “gentle giant” was, of course, Officer Darren Wilson.</p>
<p>Originally, we were told that Wilson shot Brown from behind, after pulling over the “gentle giant” for walking in the middle of the street – a situation President Obama would later term “walking while black.” Supposedly, Wilson pulled the 6’5”, 289-lb. Brown through his driver’s side window, but Brown escaped and ran away from this mad emissary of police brutality. Wilson then allegedly shot the fleeing Brown from behind, at which point Brown turned around, raised his hands in the universal sign of surrender, and perished in a hail of bullets.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the reality. All of this was a lie.</p>
<p>The first crack in the myth of St. Michael, the Gentle Giant, came in the form of a security tape, taken just minutes before the fatal confrontation with Officer Wilson.</p>
<p>According to police reports, the Gentle Giant, who had never been in a fight and was too timid to play football, grabbed a small attendant and slammed him into a display case. He also stole a box of Swisher Sweets, which are cheap cigars.</p>
<p>The next crack in the St. Michael story,  The New York Times reported that Michael Brown “was no angel.” The report explained that he “dabbled in drugs and alcohol” – which, presumably, is why he stole a cheap box of Swisher Sweets from that convenience store, since Swisher Sweets are routinely used to smoke pot. Indeed, Brown’s system was chock full of THC during the incident with Officer Wilson, the autopsy showed.</p>
<p>The New York Times report also explained that Brown “had taken to rapping in recent months, producing lyrics that were by turns contemplative and vulgar.”</p>
<p>Here’s a sampling of St. Michael’s music, culled by Gateway Pundit:</p>
<blockquote><p>My favorite part is when that body hits the ground.</p>
<p>I soak em up like I’m wringing out a sponge</p>
<p>Talking down make me shoot off your whole tongue</p></blockquote>
<p>The words of the blessed saint.</p>
<p>The media and politicians cried bloody murder when this information began to tarnish the candle-lit altar they&#8217;d built for St. Michael – just because St. Michael had strong-arm robbed a convenience store, done drugs, and cut some vile rap videos didn’t mean he deserved to be shot!</p>
<p>Which, of course, was true. But the rest of the mythical tale of the martyrdom of St. Michael began falling apart, as well.</p>
<p>Officer Wilson’s side of the story began to come out, in dribs and drabs: after pulling Brown over, Wilson said, Wilson tried to get out of his car – Brown shut the door on him, then pushed himself through the driver’s side window. He went for Wilson’s weapon, whereupon Wilson fired the gun in the vehicle. Brown ran. Wilson chased him. Brown then turned around and ran toward Wilson, whereupon Wilson shot him several times.</p>
<p>According to the Washington Post, “more than a half-dozen unnamed black witnesses have provided testimony…that supports Wilson’s account of the events….blood spatter analysis, shell casings and ballistics tests – also support Wilson’s account of the shooting, the Post sources said.”</p>
<p>Now, a new autopsy report revealed by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch – the same newspaper that originally termed Brown a “Gentle Giant” – showed that Brown’s body had a “graze wound” on his thumb; the wound contained matter “consistent with products that are discharged from the barrel of a firearm.” That can only happen at close range – so close, in fact, that there was no stippling – a patterning of gunpowder that will not appear within an inch of the gun barrel. In other words, as San Francisco medical examiner Dr. Judy Melinek said, “this guy is reaching for the gun.”</p>
<p>The autopsy backs up the altercation at the car as well – Brown’s skin was found on the exterior of the vehicle.  CNN reports that blood from Michael Brown was found on Wilson’s uniform, police car, and gun.</p>
<p>The autopsy even gives shows that Brown was shot with his hands up. According to the autopsy report, the gunshot wound to St. Michael’s “upper dorsal right arm” demonstrated that the direction of the shot was “slightly upward, backward and leftward.” That means, according to Melinek, the shot “traveled from the back of the arm to the inner arm, which means Brown’s palms could not have been facing Wilson.”</p>
<p>The rage continues, of course, because facts don&#8217;t matter when myths have already taken root. Benjamin Crump, the Brown family lawyer &#8211; he was also the Martin family attorney &#8211; said that “family and supporters will not be persuaded by the autopsy report or eyewitness statements,” according to the Washington Post. And, of course, local politicians have pledged that the evidence won’t change anything.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the disciples of Michael Brown pay tribute to his Gentle Giantness by fighting over how to capitalize on his supposed martyrdom. Michael Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, reportedly got into a fight with Brown’s grandmother and cousin when she found them selling Michael Brown merchandise. The altercation ended, apparently, with another unnamed person hitting Brown’s cousin in the face with a pipe or pole, resulting in his hospitalization. The suspect then stole a box from the scene containing some $1,400.</p>
<p>But never mind – the legacy of Michael Brown, Gentle Giant, will go on. Another martyr has joined the Racial Testament. Another fake black mark on white racist police forces everywhere. And the left’s aggressive construction of the myth of St. Michael the Gentle Giant ensures that more young black men will see police as the enemy, that confrontations will escalate, and that the left will have many more future opportunities to add to their perverse canon.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="field-body">
<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/obama-un-speech.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-241845" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/obama-un-speech-450x253.jpg" alt="obama-un-speech" width="342" height="192" /></a>Speaking at the United Nations on Wednesday, President Obama performed the signal feat of cramming his head so far up his own ass that his head actually emerged from his mouth again, thereby creating the first human Escher loop. His speech at the United Nations was chock-full of moronic platitudes, internal contradictions, and morally disgusting sentiments.</p>
<p>Here are the top fifteen:</p>
<p><strong>“Together, we have learned how to cure disease, and harness the power of the wind and sun.”</strong> Which is, of course, why disease remains rampant in Africa – so much so that Obama is sending 3,000 troops there to combat Ebola virus – and why America garners a whopping 4.13 percent of her electricity from wind and 0.23 percent from the sun. But the Godking hath reined global forces to his chariot, and shall ride the moonbeams!</p>
<p><strong>“We are here because others realized that we gain more from cooperation than conquest.”</strong> Well, no. We are here because civilized nations banded together to defeat Nazis and then communism, not because of some global revelation about the power of cooperation. This is a third grade rendition of history.</p>
<p><strong>“</strong><strong>We believe that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">right</span> makes might – that bigger nations should not be able to bully smaller ones; that people should be able to choose their own future.”</strong> If Obama believes this, he has the mental capacity of a chipmunk. Obviously, right does not make might. If it did, millions of Jews would still be living in Germany and Poland, the Soviet Empire never would have risen, and the Yazidis would be decimating ISIS. We actually believe that it is the duty of right to grow its defense capacity and then fight for its principles – both notions foreign to President Obama.</p>
<p><strong>“</strong><strong>While small gains can be won at the barrel of a gun, they will ultimately be turned back if enough voices support the freedom of nations and peoples to make their own decisions.”</strong> Again, no. Millions of voices have cried out for freedom in North Korea and China for decades, to no avail. It isn’t about raising voices. It’s about strategically outflanking evil nations and crippling their capacity to continue functioning.</p>
<p><strong>“My message to Iran’s leaders and people is simple: do not let this opportunity pass. We can reach a solution that meets your energy needs while assuring the world that your program is peaceful.“</strong> Iran’s mullahs are still laughing at this one.</p>
<p><strong>“America is and will continue to be a Pacific power, promoting peace, stability, and the free flow of commerce among nations. But we will insist that all nations abide by the rules of the road, and resolve their territorial disputes peacefully, consistent with international law.”</strong> The Chinese politburo is still laughing at this one.</p>
<p><strong>“On issue after issue, we cannot rely on a rule-book written for a different century.”</strong> Who wrote this rulebook? And why, if Obama is presenting a new rulebook, do his rules so closely conform to those of his leftist predecessors?</p>
<p><strong>“Islam teaches peace. Muslims the world over aspire to live with dignity and a sense of justice. And when it comes to America and Islam, there is no us and them – there is only <span style="text-decoration: underline;">us</span>, because millions of Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of our country.”</strong> Well, actually, there is a “them” – as in the <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2014/09/04/myth-tiny-radical-minority">huge portion</a> of Muslims who support the goals and aims of al Qaeda and ISIS.</p>
<p><strong>“The ideology of ISIL or al Qaeda or Boko Haram will wilt and die if it is consistently exposed, confronted, and refuted in the light of day.”</strong> Then why are we bombing them? Why not send pamphlets? (Note: to support this notion, Obama actually cited a sheikh who has endorsed murder of US soldiers in the Middle East.)</p>
<p><strong>“Next year, we should all be prepared to announce the concrete steps that we have taken to counter extremist ideologies&#8230;”</strong> Next year. Always next year.</p>
<p><strong>“There is nothing new about wars within religions. Christianity endured centuries of vicious sectarian conflict. Today, it is violence within Muslim communities that has become the source of so much human misery.”</strong> Nothing like citing history from centuries ago to downplay Muslim sectarian violence today.</p>
<p><strong>“But the only lasting solution to Syria’s civil war is political – an inclusive political transition that responds to the legitimate aspirations of all Syrian citizens, regardless of ethnicity or creed.”</strong> And what, pray tell, would this magical political solution look like, given that last year President Obama was busily telling the UN that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad must go, and this year is busily telling the UN we must bomb those who oppose Assad?</p>
<p><strong>“[T]he countries of the Arab and Muslim world must focus on the extraordinary potential of their people – especially the youth.”</strong> This would be a grand idea, except for the inconvenient fact that a disproportionate number of terrorists are Muslim and Arab youths. Oops.</p>
<p><strong>“No God condones this terror. No grievance justifies these actions. There can be no reasoning – no negotiation – with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force….the violence engulfing the region today has made too many Israelis ready to abandon the hard work of peace. But let’s be clear: the status quo in the West Bank and Gaza is not sustainable.”</strong> Self-defense for America, but not for the Jews, according to the President. The Jews must continue to pursue the “hard work of peace,” even if they’re experiencing rocket fire every day; America, however, can bomb the hell out of ISIS even if ISIS is located thousands of miles away and largely threatens other Muslims. The hypocrisy is rank, and moral equivocation repulsive.</p>
<p><strong>“In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.”</strong> Officer Darren Wilson can chat with the YouTube “Innocence of Muslims” filmmaker below the bus as he becomes a symbol of all American racial intolerance, despite complete lack of evidence. Thanks, Mr. President!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Editor’s note: Below are the video and transcript of the Truth Revolt panel discussion at the Freedom Center’s West Coast Retreat, held at the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, California from March 21-23, 2014:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/90043628" height="281" width="500" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><b style="line-height: 1.5em;">Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Without David and his vision and his way of viewing the world and without the resources that he&#8217;s been so generous to put at our disposal, none of this would be happening, and in a minute I&#8217;m gonna talk about all the different victories that we&#8217;ve won.  They&#8217;ve been pretty stunning.  We&#8217;ll bring up some members of Truth Revolt to talk about exactly what we do on a day-in, day-out basis, and I think that you&#8217;ll all be pleased to hear about the victories that we&#8217;ve been having and the fights that we continue to fight.</span></p>
<p>But I want to start with something that happened on March 8<sup>th</sup>.  On March 8<sup>th</sup> a miracle occurred.  A true miracle.  Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s face moved and her face opened and sound emerged from it and here&#8217;s what she said.  She said – I can&#8217;t really do a Nancy Pelosi impression because I don&#8217;t have dentures and it doesn&#8217;t really work – she says I asked a Republic friend why his party remains so opposed to extending the vital lifelines for struggling families and really hungry children.  First of all, she doesn&#8217;t have any Republican friends.  It&#8217;s Harvey, the bunny.  This colleague&#8217;s response was telling in its blunt nature and its stunning honesty.  What he says was to the Republican caucus, these people you&#8217;re talking about are invisible, and the Republican caucus is indifferent to them.</p>
<p>Now all of us know, well, or should know that, I mean, look, it&#8217;s true.  We all hate children.  I mean as you know, you&#8217;ve been seeing me walk around all weekend long with a child that I hate.  I hate her more than anything in the world.  She&#8217;s despicable and horrible, and I can&#8217;t wait to starve her, but the point of what Pelosi&#8217;s saying is very effective and very real, and it&#8217;s about the narrative.  What the right does wrong, the reason that conservatives continue to lose is because instead of discussing things in terms of morality, instead of discussing things in terms of ethics, in terms of right and wrong, in terms of good and evil, the right tends to discuss things in terms of policy, in terms of efficiency, in terms of what works and what doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>So for example, when Barack Obama talks about raising the minimum wage to ten dollars and ten cents, the right simply says oh, well, that&#8217;s not going to work.  That&#8217;s gonna make people lose their jobs, and Barack Obama says well, don&#8217;t you care about poor people?  Barack Obama wins that argument.  It&#8217;s why even a majority of Republicans believe in raising the minimum wage.  The argument against raising the minimum wage is actually not on an efficiency basis.  The argument against raising the minimum wage is you do not have a right to tell somebody what they are going to pay you, in the same way that you don&#8217;t have the right to tell somebody that they&#8217;re going to work for you for a given amount of pay.  That&#8217;s against the Fourteenth Amendment.  We abolished – the Thirteenth Amendment.  We abolished slavery in this country in the same way.  The converse is that you cannot force or should not be able to force a business to pay a given wage.</p>
<p>Everything needs to be discussed in terms of morality on the right.  Instead it&#8217;s being discussed again in terms of policy and efficiency.  It&#8217;s why Mitt Romney lost.  It&#8217;s why Republicans continue to lose, and it&#8217;s true on issue after issue after issue, ranging for foreign policy to domestic policy.  It&#8217;s even is true with regard to Israel.  Benjamin Netanyahu is a wonderful prime minister.  He&#8217;s doing a tremendous job, and Bibi gave a very good speech at AIPAC.  I don&#8217;t know how many of you saw his speech at AIPAC this year.  It was really a pretty good speech, and in the speech he did this.  He drew kind of the moral gap between Israel and its enemies, for example.  And he said that Israel is a wonderful country.  It&#8217;s a democracy.  It has human rights.  It has women&#8217;s rights.  It has gay rights.  And then if you look at its opponents, if you look at places like Iran, if you look at places like Turkey, if you look at places like Sudan, these are all places where they don&#8217;t have any of these things and they&#8217;re evil.  Israel&#8217;s enemies are evil.  The problem with what Bibi said is that he missed one country in this entire list.  He missed one territory that&#8217;s being occupied by certain people on this entire list.  He didn&#8217;t mention the Palestinians, and by failing to do that, what he did is he left the door open to President Obama continuing to maintain that the Palestinians and the Jews are actually on an equal playing field when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict.</p>
<p>The morality gap has to be the focus of everything we do.  The morality gap is the focus of everything we do.  It&#8217;s true on foreign policy.  It&#8217;s true on domestic policy.  It&#8217;s true with regard to minimum wage.  It&#8217;s true with regard to the environment.  It&#8217;s true with regard to everything, and so that&#8217;s why what we&#8217;ve done at Truth Revolt is we&#8217;ve turned everything into a moral conflict, and this is straight from the David Horowitz playbook.  It really is.  Everything is a moral conflict, and it has to be approached in moral terms, and in order to really fight that battle, what we&#8217;ve done is we&#8217;ve come up with basically a three-pronged strategy that&#8217;s been very effective thus far.</p>
<p>The first strategy was to build a base.  We&#8217;ve done that pretty successfully at Truth Revolt.  At Truth Revolt we went from a web site that literally did not exist as of October 7th.  We turned on the spigot October 8<sup>th</sup>.  Right now we have two million unique visitors every month.  We have four million page views every month.  By way of comparison, it&#8217;s about twice the size of Front Page Mag in about five months as opposed to Front Page, which has been around for about 16 years.  We built that base.  We get people to sign petitions, and then the next thing we do is we activate that base.  And activating the base is really the key, so we&#8217;re gonna talk on the panel about a lot of the victories that we&#8217;ve won, and it&#8217;s been a pretty stunning run of success.  You saw there Martin Bashir didn&#8217;t show the entire clip because it&#8217;s about a minute and a half long, but Martin Bashir, when he mentions Thomas Thistlewood, that was the famous clip, infamous clip in which Martin Bashir suggested that someone should, forgive the language, piss and shit in Sarah Palin&#8217;s mouth.  Right?  He said that on the air on MSNBC, and so we went into action and we called up all of the different advertisers and we stayed on it for weeks at a time until Martin Bashir was forced off the air by his own company.</p>
<p>You saw Alec Baldwin, that tape of him walking around saying something that rhymes with clock-sucking flag, and you saw Alec Baldwin do that and we immediately called up the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, who was loath to condemn him, by the way.  We called up Parents and Families of Lesbians and Gays.  We got them to condemn Alec Baldwin, and within a week he was off MSNBC.</p>
<p>You saw the LA Jewish Journal cartoon.  We hit them with over a thousand phone calls and emails.  Within 24 hours they issued the only apology they have ever issued in the history of the Los Angeles Jewish Journal for running that and Rob Eshman, who&#8217;s the editor, then ran a shocking editorial the next week in which he flattered the Tea Party as a wonderful group, and us in particular, as standing out from the pack as a good journalistic organization.</p>
<p>When CNBC Steve Liesman, you saw the clip from CNBC, when he asked that Mexican music be pulled up for Ted Cruz, we hit all of his advertisers.  We began calling his advertisers and within literally about five hours he&#8217;d come out on Twitter and apologized for the whole thing.</p>
<p>This is what we do.  We hit them between the eyes as hard as humanly possible.  That&#8217;s all we&#8217;re focused on, because the only thing that matters is victory, and the only way to win victory is to speak in these moral terms, is to find areas where they step out of line and to club them as hard as you can in the head until they stop moving.  It is the only way to win victories.  Scalps matter.  Victories matter.  And we can talk about all the intellect that the Center is rife with, and it is.  It&#8217;s a rich, diverse group of people at the center who provide the intellectual capital for the movement.  There&#8217;s no question about it.  But what we are at Truth Revolt is we&#8217;re the tanks.  We&#8217;re the front lines.  It&#8217;s our job to go out and do the dirty work that nobody else wants to do.  We&#8217;ll do all the things that get us condemned in the press.  We&#8217;ll do all the things that have our own side condemning us.  We don&#8217;t care, because somebody has to stick the knife in.</p>
<p>Now one of the things that we&#8217;ve been doing in terms of activating our army is we&#8217;ve hired on Daniel Mael.  You&#8217;ll meet him in just a second.  He&#8217;s a Brandeis student, 21 years old, and he&#8217;ll be telling you about a victory that we won just this week.  It really is fun that we get to win a victory every week &#8217;cause whenever we do these events, we get to say we won a victory this week.  We actually did win a pretty big victory this week, and you&#8217;ll get to see what that is when we bring him up, and he has been fighting against the Divest From Israel Movement, as you saw on the tape.  We&#8217;ve been fighting pretty hard against the Divest From Israel Movement.  Again, everything in moral terms.  Not just in terms of Israel&#8217;s a nice company, but in terms of Israel&#8217;s opposition is evil, anti-Semitic Jew haters period.  And if you stand with them, you stand with evil, and it&#8217;s that simple, and that has an impact.</p>
<p>When I did that speech at UCLA where I stood up for a couple of minutes and went there at 10:30 in the middle of the night and left my wife and baby at home, and I can tell you my baby has not forgiven me yet, when we did that, the whole point of that was to go there and not to speak.  Not to speak in defense of Israel.  Everybody said this is the greatest defense of Israel we&#8217;ve ever seen.  It&#8217;s a wonderful defense.  It had about 200,000 hits on You Tube.  Has about 70,000 in Hebrew.  The Israeli economics minister translated it into Hebrew, posted it on his page.  It really made the rounds.  I was invited to meet Bibi because of it.  The whole point of it though was not defense of Israel.  The point of it was attacking Israel&#8217;s opponents.  If you&#8217;re not on the attack, you&#8217;re losing.  If you&#8217;re not on the attack, you&#8217;re losing.</p>
<p>And the fact is that unfortunately the conservative movement is not on the attack.  They&#8217;re always on the defense.  We spend our lives on the defense because, after all, we all know, if we&#8217;re unlucky enough to have liberal friends and relatives, we know that on Thanksgiving it gets awkward.  It always gets awkward.  There&#8217;s always somebody there who is going to be complaining about how you&#8217;re a racist, sexist, bigot homophobe for what you do, and then you find yourself on the defensive.  Well, I&#8217;m not a racist.  I&#8217;m not a sexist.  I&#8217;m not a bigot.  You lose the argument by doing that.  They need to be on the defensive.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s why in the fall we&#8217;re planning on launching a boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Saudi Arabia on campuses.  It&#8217;s why we&#8217;re going hard against the evil and despicable organization J Street, which is using a fake pro-Israel message in order to infiltrate the pro-Israel movement and destroy it from within.  It&#8217;s why we are going after the media itself and destroying the media where it stands, and the point of that is going after all of their base.  It&#8217;s going after their donors.  It&#8217;s going after their funders.  It&#8217;s getting mean, it&#8217;s getting nasty, and it&#8217;s getting fun.  So that&#8217;s Aspect No. 2.</p>
<p>So Aspect No. 1 is you build the base.  That&#8217;s what the web site has been for.  Again, we&#8217;ve driven tremendous traffic.  We have petitions with tens of thousands of signatures on them.  The whole point was to drive an enormous number of people to join us in our fight.  The second was to activate that base, and the third was to broaden that base.  And to that end, this is where Jeremy Boring, who&#8217;s again gonna be on the panel with us, is really an expert in doing this.</p>
<p>We are going to be moving into the business of attracting young people.  And when we say the word attracting young people, we are actually young people.  The oldest person at the organization is the Old Man Boreing, who&#8217;s 35.  Right?  Sorry, Jeremy.  The fact is that we are a bunch of young people.  We know what young people like.  We know what young people want to view, and the fact is what young people like and what they want to view is not politics.  Most young people are never gonna read a David Horowitz Freedom Center pamphlet.  They&#8217;re not.  Most of them are too busy drinking and partying and watching cat videos on You Tube, and so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re gonna get in the business of, which should be fun.  We&#8217;re going to actually be doing material that appeals to young people and is not overtly political but it&#8217;s going to draw them in.  We&#8217;re going to be putting up material like BuzzFeed does.  I don&#8217;t know how many of you have seen BuzzFeed, but I promise you your kids and your grandkids have absolutely seen BuzzFeed and they read it on a regular basis.  BuzzFeed is about twice the size, for example, of Breitbart.  It has enormous traffic, and the reason it has enormous traffic is because of it&#8217;s listicles.  It&#8217;s ten things that you miss about the 1990s.  Right?  And then you go there and right next to ten things that you miss about the 1990s are ten things that are wonderful about Hillary Clinton, and I understand only one out of every ten people who are reading the list about the 1990s are gonna click on Hillary Clinton, but that&#8217;s a hell of a lot more than would just go and read a piece about how Hillary Clinton&#8217;s wonderful.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re gonna be doing exactly the same thing.  We&#8217;re going to be forging into new arenas.  Jeremy&#8217;s gonna talk about some of those, and he can do it much more eloquently than I can because Jeremy is an incredible film director.  He&#8217;s also the head of an organization recently outed by the New York Times called Friends of Abe, which is the underground Hollywood organization.  Jeremy is well-connected and intensely qualified in the business of crafting narrative that appeals to people without them even knowing that they&#8217;re watching a narrative that comes from our side of the aisle.  So that&#8217;s the business that we&#8217;re going to be getting into.</p>
<p>So we did the first step.  We built the base.  We&#8217;re gonna always continue to build the base.  We&#8217;ve done the second step, which is activate the base.  We&#8217;re always gonna continue to activate the base.  To that end we have to hire a grassroots director which will, of course, take money.  We&#8217;re gonna need a grassroots director to handle our 45,000-person email list, which has been built in four months, and 1,000-person special ops list, so we&#8217;re gonna have to hire a grassroots director to handle it.  That&#8217;s a full-time job.  So we&#8217;re gonna be doing that too.  And then the third thing we&#8217;re gonna be doing is reaching out to new audiences, to young people, to people in the minority community, but not through overt political activity.  Through drawing them in the way that everybody gets drawn in.</p>
<p>Because here&#8217;s the fact: You have to convince people to see a documentary.  No one ever had to convince anybody to see Avatar.  People just go and see it.  We&#8217;re gonna be creating entertaining and interesting content that nobody else is creating and creative content that nobody else is, so we&#8217;re very excited about everything that we&#8217;ve been able to do thus far.  Thank you so much for all of your help, and all that we care about, again, is victory.  And if that means that we have to use methods that the left has been using for years, good.  If it means that we have to drop this pretense that we are above the fray, good.  There&#8217;s no such thing as the high road in politics.  There&#8217;s just the winning road.  So we either can win or we can lose, and it&#8217;s up to us whether we wanna win or lose.  And you&#8217;ve heard a lot about how we need to win.  I think we all understand from all the other panels how much we need to win.  The way to win is by punching these folks back in the face twice as hard as they are attempting to punch us.  Thanks so much.</p>
<p>And now I wanna bring up the rest of, I wanna bring up some of the other folks at Truth Revolt.  Jeremy Boreing, the managing editor, has done a stellar job, and Elisha Krauss, who you&#8217;ll remember from – Elisha and I do a show in the morning on KRLA, the Morning Answer on KRLA at 7:00 every morning, and Daniel Mael, who&#8217;s the newest member of the Truth Revolt team, only about a week and a half in and already winning big victories.  He&#8217;s the head of the Israel Project, particularly with regard to students.  He&#8217;s going after J Street and he&#8217;s going after – Hillel.</p>
<p><b>Daniel Mael: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">So I think it was Wednesday morning I woke up and I was searching Twitter hashtag Israel, and a picture of Harvard college students at Yasser Arafat&#8217;s grave – if we could show that.  So this trip was sponsored by Boston&#8217;s Combined Jewish Philanthropies.  It was sponsored and endorsed by Harvard Hillel.  It was sponsored by Harvard, sorry, rather, Hillel International.  I wrote a piece saying that Harvard University students had honored Yasser Arafat.  They took a photo next to his tombstone.  I received a message from someone involved with the trip and it said Daniel, please stop your unfounded, irresponsible and unsubstantiated allegations</span></p>
<p>There was a picture; pretty remarkable.  So we asked Combined Jewish Philanthropies for a statement.  We asked Harvard, sorry, Hillel International for a statement.  The Hillel, sorry, Harvard students actually responded with an article titled quote No Apologies for Visiting Yasser Arafat&#8217;s Grave.  They then changed the title to Yes, We Visited Arafat&#8217;s Grave, and within it they said that we attempted to smear them and it was bad journalism.  Hillel International condemned the out-of-context photo, and the Combined Jewish Philanthropies said that it was vicious attacks from the extreme edge of the Jewish community.  If I&#8217;m on the extreme edge, we&#8217;re doomed.  So eventually the Combined Jewish Philanthropies actually apologized.  They listed us by name, Truth Revolt, and said that they are sorry and that they deeply apologize.  And we were all –</p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">They knew that we were also gonna go after their donors.  We&#8217;d made clear to them that this was not going to stop with them.  We had a full list of their board of directors.  We had a full list of their donors, and we were going to start calling them and suggesting that they get on the record as to whether they like or dislike this particular picture.</span></p>
<p><b style="line-height: 1.5em;">Daniel Mael: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yeah, but funny enough though is that we asked Hillel International for a second statement.  They declined comment.  They&#8217;ve yet to condemn the student visit to Yasser Arafat&#8217;s tombstone.  This is the mass murderer who killed Jews and non-Jews, and they&#8217;re claiming that it was, the students at least are saying it&#8217;s the Palestinian Narrative, so my question is why does the Palestinian Narrative require going to the grave of a mass murder?  Why can&#8217;t you go to the grave of a 15 year old who is indoctrinated and forced to blow himself up in the center of Tel Aviv?  Why does it have to be Yasser Arafat?  And Combined Jewish Philanthropies said that the students were sorry and that they deeply regret everything that happened and that everyone is basically sorry, yet just an hour ago, the leader of the Harvard Israel Trek 2014 posted this on Facebook in response to a rabbi who had spoken up against the visit.  &#8220;I hope that somebody whom I respect as an educator and a teacher would understand the need to engage in these issues in a sophisticated and nuanced way.  Sadly the Jewish people can often be our own worst enemy, and your hurtful and irresponsible attacks have caused great harm to the Jewish community, to the best Harvard student leaders working to promote Israel on campus and to me.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>So the question is why do these students and organizations think that it&#8217;s necessary to visit the grave of a mass murder?  Especially on a trip that&#8217;s supposed to promote pro-Israel content.  They actually gave a quote to another news source saying that it was an understanding that in order to work with and meet with Palestinian leaders, they needed to visit the Mukata, the home for the Palestinian authority.  So my question is if the visit to Arafat&#8217;s grave is a prerequisite for visiting the Mukata, what does that say about the organization?  It shouldn&#8217;t be us.  It needs to be, as Ben pointed out, the immoral requirements of the Palestinian authority.  It&#8217;s absolutely unacceptable and it shouldn&#8217;t be tolerated.  I don&#8217;t know why the Jewish community is conversing with people that object to Israel&#8217;s existence.</p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">So when Daniel showed me this picture, I got very excited because it&#8217;s very rare that somebody on the other side hands you what I would like to call a perfect hammer to smack them with.  This is a perfect hammer.  In other words, there is no defense of visiting Yasser Arafat&#8217;s grave clearly.  And so again, what we began to do is we began to contact folks at Combined Jewish Philanthropies.  Daniel did it as a journalist, which he is, and he began asking a simple question.  Why are you there?  Why are you defending this?  And within 48 hours of Daniel beginning to call these people, Combined Jewish Philanthropies had backed down.  The head of the organization had backed down.  He&#8217;d issued a full apology.  He apologized to Daniel personally.  He apologized to Truth Revolt as a group, and we&#8217;re not going to stop there.  The next step is that we&#8217;re going directly after Hillel International.  They&#8217;re going to be forced to apologize.  They&#8217;re gonna be forced to provide a list of procedures that will be taken in the future that will never allow anything like this to happen ever again, and if they don&#8217;t do it, then Daniel and Paul Blau who works with us and a couple of other of our reporters, we&#8217;re going to call every major donor to Hillel International and we will put a news story up on each and every one of them individually as to whether they continue to support an organization that is happy to have kids, Jewish and non-Jewish, visiting the grave of a mass murderer.  This is what we do.</span></p>
<p><b>Daniel Mael: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I like that you go to the grave of Yasser Arafat and then say Jews are their own worst enemies.</span></p>
<p><b>Elisha Krauss: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Jeremy, Ben kind of touched on what you&#8217;re doing with FOA and the good editor, allow me to suck upfor a second since you&#8217;re one of my bosses at Truth Revolt.  How do you think that movies and what is being done in Hollywood really drives the culture?  And what can we, as a conservative movement, get involved to be a part of that?  What can we do?</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Well, there&#8217;s two things that have interests of Ben and I that I think give us the ability to have a good collaboration, and it&#8217;s – we&#8217;ve talked about this before, Ben, but it&#8217;s almost like the thing that you&#8217;re the best at and the most interested in is the thing that I&#8217;m the second-most interested in and vice versa.  Ben understands political warfare because he studied at the feet of great masters like David Horowitz and Andrew Breitbart, and he understands that you can&#8217;t have a successful political movement when you allow your opposition to frame you as racist, bigoted, homophobic, warmongering, greedy people who want to strap dogs to the hoods of cars and fire people so that their wives will eventually die of cancer and then you respond with policy arguments.  Right?</span></p>
<p>First you say, &#8220;No, we don&#8217;t actually want women to die of cancer, and here&#8217;s a sixpoint plan.&#8221;  My focus is on something that happens before the political battle ever begins and that&#8217;s the cultural landscape, and specifically, it&#8217;s about story, and sort of my core argument, and I think you see it on display in the work that we&#8217;ve been doing at TruthRevolt and will be doing going forward, is that the human animal is a storytelling being.  I mean, that&#8217;s what sets us apart.  That&#8217;s how we understand who we are and our place in the world, our relationship with each other, our relationship with God.  That&#8217;s how we understand the things that we believe and the things that we oppose.  The unfortunate reality is that conservatives are the worst storytellers, not only in the world but in the history of the world.  And I can actually prove that.  That&#8217;s not a personal opinion.  In Western literature, there&#8217;s a thing called the Hero&#8217;s Journey, and it&#8217;s the most prolific story in history.   And the Hero&#8217;s Journey is about the young every man.  It&#8217;s King Arthur, and it&#8217;s Luke Skywalker, and it&#8217;s –</p>
<p>Mr. Smith goes to Washington.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Mr. Smith goes to Washington.  It&#8217;s the young every man whose father sinned, and because of their sin, the great republic was lost, the kingdom of old where people had wealth and prosperity and freedom and lived in harmony with their fellow men.  The only way to get that back is for the young hero to come in contact with an ancient wisdom.  In Star Wars, it&#8217;s the Force, right?  Luke Skywalker hears about.  It&#8217;s just this vague concept in the first movie, this beautiful hint of something that used to be, and as he comes more and more in contact with that ancient wisdom, he&#8217;s given the power to literally destroy the instruments of the state.</p>
<p>At the end of Star Wars, that&#8217;s what he does, right?  He literally blows up the Death Star, the tool of government.  That story, from pulling the sword out of the stone to blowing up the Death Star, is the most prolific story in Western literature, and only the world&#8217;s worst storytellers could fail when armed with that story, but we don&#8217;t tell that story.  We talk about policy and deny that we&#8217;re racist.  By the way, we are racist.  I want to be clear about this.  See, this is another place that conservatives don&#8217;t understand storytelling.  We don&#8217;t understand language.  You are racist.  You spend a lot of time trying to say you&#8217;re not racist when the left accuses you of racism because you still think that the word racism means judges people on the basis of race and believes that people should be treated differently on the basis of race.  That&#8217;s not what the word racism means.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s only one movement in America that believes people should be treated differently on the basis of race, and that&#8217;s progressivism.  Racism means you don&#8217;t think people should be treated differently on the basis of race.  That&#8217;s what racism means to everyone in the world who ever levels the charge against you, and when you deny it, you&#8217;re lying.  They say, &#8220;You think people should be treated equally,&#8221; and you say, &#8220;No, I don&#8217;t,&#8221; but you do.  But we don&#8217;t understand language.  We use the word conservative to describe ourselves, but there&#8217;s nothing to conserve, my friends.  The left fought a war.  We didn&#8217;t even know it was going on, and we lost.  I mean, do you want to conserve 50 million abortions since <i>Roe v. Wade</i>?  Maybe it&#8217;s the loss of habeas corpus that you want to conserve or maybe it&#8217;s the fact that they put filmmakers in prison now when they embarrass the President of the United States or go after Dinesh D&#8217;Souza because his movie embarrassed the President of the United States.  Maybe you want to conserve an IRS that won&#8217;t grant my organization their 501(c)(3) status for three years because we have the word conservative in our legal description.  Or maybe you want to conserve the fact that we&#8217;re now not even supporting our allies in the State of Israel.  Of course we don&#8217;t want to conserve any of that.  We&#8217;re rebels.  We&#8217;ve always been rebels.  We&#8217;ve been rebels since the rebellion that founded the country.</p>
<p>Our idea is always outside of the mainstream.  It&#8217;s an idea that requires fighters and it requires storytellers.  America came into being, as Glen Beck said when he was here, because people like Thomas Paine were scrawling down ideas, and people like Thomas Jefferson were scrawling down ideas.  Thank God they were better storytellers than we are, and what a shame that we can&#8217;t tell the great story that they bequeathed to us.  I think that the only way for us to have long-term success in this county – listen, politicians act in accordance with their self-interest, like any other person in the world.  At the end of the day, even the most ideologically pure politician is going to have to make decisions based on his self-interest.  It&#8217;s the job of storytellers to ensure that what is in the self-interest of politicians is to do the things that we know are true and good, and we don&#8217;t do that, so we need to start.  So in addition to our political warfare techniques that we&#8217;re trying to employ at TruthRevolt, we&#8217;re also starting, going into this next phase of our existence, to really focus on the culture, to focus on storytelling.  One of the things that we want to show you is this still penned by a terrific artist who also happens to be a Shapiro, Ben&#8217;s sister Rebecca. Not bad. <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">She did not draw this.</span></p>
<p>This is it.  This is for a new thing that we&#8217;re launching.  It&#8217;s novel.  They were invented in the 1930s, so a lot of conservatives haven&#8217;t heard about them yet, but they&#8217;re called comic books, and they&#8217;re read by the youth of America, and you know how conservatives are always trying to reach the youth.</p>
<p><b>Elisha Krauss: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Sometimes, there&#8217;s movies made about &#8216;em, like Superman, Ironman.</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Superman, yeah.  I&#8217;ve heard of a few of those.They have both image and sound, in color.  We&#8217;re gonna make a comic book about the American Revolution.  Every other conservative organization in America thinks that the way that you teach young people about the Revolution is to have them sit down and read – what are those things?  They have a cover, there&#8217;s –</span><br />
Yeah.  Just like Ben said, you have to talk people into seeing documents.  They go to see fiction movies all on their own, and it&#8217;s amazing to me that party of entrepreneurs, the party of businessmen, the party that understands free trade and the free exchange of ideas, that we think that the only way to communicate our values is to force people to engage in product that they don&#8217;t want.  What an entrepreneur is supposed to do is analyze the market for inefficiencies and give people what they do want.  Young people read comic books, and young people watch movies.</p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro</b><strong>:</strong> <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">By the way, this is why conservatives started Hollywood.  All of the people who started Hollywood were actually conservative.  It was only in the 1950s and 60s that it actually converted to liberalism, and all of the people who were the big people behind Hollywood originally, they were big Republican donors.  I mean, they gave lots of money to Republican candidates.</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s only over the last 50 years that we&#8217;ve lost all this.</p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Well, we have to actually do it.  Right?  You don&#8217;t get it back by thinking about it or waxing philosophical about it.  You have to make some movies and make some comic books.  You know, the Freedom Center has done an amazing job over the last 20 years of producing these remarkable pamphlets, and we&#8217;ve all been the beneficiaries of these wonderful pamphlets.  No one under 30 reads those pamphlets, though, and instead of taking the approach that so many in the movement take, which is, &#8220;How do we find a way to get young people to read our tract?&#8221;  That&#8217;s not the right answer.  The right answer is how do we take the wonderful ideas that we produced for this tract and put it in something that young people are already buying, something they actually want, and that&#8217;s our job.  We have to take this beautiful story, the Hero&#8217;s Journey, the story of human freedom, and we have to put it into a product that people are already buying, a product that they want, not a product that we have to talk them into engaging, and so TruthRevolt is gonna do just that.  </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We&#8217;re producing a graphic novel on the American Revolution, and we&#8217;re gonna produce, coming in the next few months, a short film, and it&#8217;s gonna be a short film about the suffering of Jewish civilians at the hands of Palestinian terrorists.  You know, every year – thank you.  Every year, the Academy Awards nominates a short film for best picture that explores the suffering of Palestinians at the hands of Jews.  There&#8217;s another side to that story.  Somebody ought to tell it.  Well, we&#8217;re gonna tell it, and that&#8217;s in service of a long-term vision of actually making feature films, not just short films.  The short film is to get us some attention and to get us some hands-on experience, but it&#8217;s in service of a long-term agenda of making actual fiction movies, and this is a hard pill, I think, for conservatives to swallow &#8217;cause we pride ourselves on telling the truth, and it&#8217;s hard to imagine that you can tell the truth through a lie because, obviously, that&#8217;s what fiction is, right?  Fiction is it didn&#8217;t actually happen.  There is no Superman.  The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were not real.  But you can tell profound truth through art.  People have been doing it ever since the first caveman painted on a wall and Michelangelo walked into the Sistine Chapel, right?  That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re going to do.  We&#8217;re gonna take the great ideas of human freedom, the great ideas that the Freedom Center has been championing all along, and we&#8217;re gonna find a way to tell that as a story, and that&#8217;s Phase 2.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And this is all in the service of victory.  That&#8217;s all that matters.</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just because we like movies and wanna make movies, and it&#8217;s not just because we dislike Combined Jewish Philanthropies and wanna slap them, and it&#8217;s not just because all the –</p>
<p>Yeah.  It&#8217;s not just because MSNBC is a – I&#8217;m looking for a clean word I can use here.  The bottom line is that all of this is in the service of broad victory.</p>
<p>Because the left has done all of these things.  You hear it on talk radio all the time, people complaining about, for example, the movie Noah.  Right?  I mean, they&#8217;re gonna be complaining all week about the new movie Noah which has turned biblical sin into overpopulation and degradation of the environment.</p>
<p>Because they haven&#8217;t read two chapters earlier in the Bible where God explicitly says, &#8220;Tame the earth and be fruitful and multiply.&#8221;  We&#8217;re gonna complain about it.  You&#8217;re gonna hear on it all week, people complaining about the evils of the movie Noah, and that doesn&#8217;t accomplish anything.</p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">No, the conservative solution will be, &#8220;That movie Noah with a $100 million budget that was seen by 35 million people in its opening weekend really hurts our cause.  Somebody should make a good documentary that tells the truth about Noah or maybe write a tract.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Exactly, and literally tens of millions of people will go see this movie. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And five people will see the documentary.</span></p>
<p>The fact is that we have to engage them on every battlefield where they have engaged.  We cannot leave a battlefield open because, if you think of this tactically, the fact is that they are running around us, they&#8217;re flanking us using Hollywood.  We&#8217;re busy with a full frontal assault on the political sphere, and even there, we&#8217;re holding back.  Even there, we&#8217;re not releasing all of our troops, which is what we&#8217;re doing now with Hillel, with J Street, with the media.  That&#8217;s our frontal assault, but we need to be countering this flanking motion that&#8217;s happening on the part of the left, using culture, using Hollywood.  I promise you that there are more young people who are being convinced about politics by watching movies like Noah and watching movies like Avatar than are ever going to be convinced, because people vote at an intellectual level.  People think as a – I&#8217;m sorry, an emotional level.  It&#8217;s all emotion.  And the truth is that people react emotionally against something.  You wanna know why all the liberal, they&#8217;re not liberals, why all the leftists out there hate you?  They hate you and have a visceral emotional reaction to you not because they know you, they don&#8217;t know you; not because they know your ideas, they don&#8217;t know your ideas; but because they saw a movie about you once where you were the guy who wouldn&#8217;t allow your daughter to go dancing with Kevin Bacon.</p>
<p>Or you run a corporation, and corporations, as we all know, are evil, and it&#8217;s always evil white men who are actually – if there are Islamic terrorists, as in Season 4 of 24, it&#8217;s actually because there&#8217;s some evil, vicious, white corporation standing behind the Islamic terrorists.</p>
<p>And see, they hate you because they do know about you.  They know about you because they have an emotional reaction to things that they&#8217;ve heard about you.  And so if we wanna create emotional reactions – you know, we showed in the early part of that video, there was a clip of that UCLA girl weeping openly and babbling nonsensically after the BDS motion was defeated by one vote, and we did know from people on the inside that one vote that allowed us to win at UCLA was shifted by the speech that I made at UCLA.  The fact that she is crying that way, the fact that she&#8217;s reacting emotionally that way, is a testament to the strength of the emotions on the other side.</p>
<p>And so instead of looking at her like she&#8217;s crazy, we have to look at her like she is, first of all, standing up for evil, but second of all, emotionally invested in it.  Are we as emotionally invested?  I think we are.  That&#8217;s the thing.  I think we all area.  I think that we&#8217;ve spent the last 5 years, 6 years, 20, 30 years getting pissed.  Honestly, whenever I go around the country, the overwhelming feeling I get from people is frustration and anger.  What can we do to help?  What can we do?  And the answer is we can fight them wherever they appear.</p>
<p>And we can&#8217;t ignore them appearing on the cultural battlefield, just as it would be foolish to ignore them appearing in the media or appearing on the political battlefield.  You don&#8217;t ignore the elections.  You don&#8217;t ignore when it comes to, you&#8217;re not going to ignore when it comes to the media.  Ignoring the cultural battlefield is particularly stupid considering that the only thing that young people engage in is the culture and not either of the other two.  And so all of these steps are necessary, and this is why we&#8217;re building what we really feel is a full army here.  I mean, the goal was to build an army that&#8217;s a distribution mechanism for product.  The goal here is to build an army.  That&#8217;s it.  That&#8217;s a group of people who are gonna do everything that we need them and want them to do.  The goal is to build an army to feed us information because we&#8217;re a tiny organization.  I mean literally, the two full-time employees at TruthRevolt are me and Jeremy.  Everybody else at TruthRevolt is a part-timer.  Everybody.</p>
<p><b>Daniel Mael: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I work during class, so.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">And that&#8217;s a, that, that&#8217;s what we do, and we&#8217;ve been able to do all of this on a shoestring.  So when we really are able to rev up, I mean, look, Heritage Foundation is wonderful organization.  They do a lot of good work.  We don&#8217;t need more white papers.  Okay?  We don&#8217;t need more white papers.  Just puttin&#8217; it out there.  A white paper that&#8217;s read by five people in Congress and may contribute to one provision in a 1,000 page bill, that is significantly less valuable than the fact that we are losing the entire base of the country.</span></p>
<p>The reason that the conservatives have, have been losing in America is because you lose the culture and then you lose the law.  You lose the culture and then you lose the politics, not the other way around.  Barack Obama isn&#8217;t making movies.  Movies are making Barack Obama.</p>
<p>And so this is, and this is why we&#8217;re engaging and, and, ya&#8217; know, there are folks that say well, you can&#8217;t do all these things.  You&#8217;re right, I can&#8217;t.  That&#8217;s why Jeremy is here.  You&#8217;re right, I can&#8217;t.  That&#8217;s why Daniel&#8217;s here.  You&#8217;re right, I can&#8217;t watch MSNBC.  That&#8217;s why Alicia&#8217;s here.  Alicia monitors, I mean, I&#8217;m sorry for her.  We had to pay her to do this.  She monitors, she monitors several MSNBC shows every single day. She suffers so you don&#8217;t have to.</p>
<p>She watches MSNBC for your sins.  That&#8217;s why, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s why Paul Bois is here.  Paul, stand up.  Paul&#8217;s our administrator over, over at TR.  And we&#8217;ve built this team to do all of these things, and we&#8217;ve, and we&#8217;ve only signed up people who want to fight.</p>
<p>We are an organization of fighters.  There, there&#8217;s nobody on this boat who&#8217;s not gonna be pulling at the oar, and, and if I have to call them and ask them what they&#8217;re doing, then they&#8217;re not gonna be at the organization.  And everybody knows that, and everybody is a self-starter.  We only hire self-starters.  We only work with self-starters because guess what, on the other side they&#8217;re all self-starters.</p>
<p>On the other side they&#8217;re emotional invested in the defeat of evil, namely us.</p>
<p>So we have to be just as emotionally invested in the defeat of true evil, and I mean that, namely them because they&#8217;re the ones who wanna destroy the foundations of the country.  They&#8217;re the ones who wanna destroy our allies.  They&#8217;re the ones who wanna destroy everything that we stand for.  They wanna destroy the basic, fundamental principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  These are the things they want to destroy.  And now that I do have a daughter, and now that I look at, at the country that she&#8217;s going to be growing up in, it only redoubles my determination that these people must be stopped.  They must be stopped, and the only way to stop them is to fight them everywhere they stand, not just here, not just there, not just in white papers, not in just dropping $300 million worth of, worth of 30,000 foot ads in battle ground states that accomplish nothing.</p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yeah.  The $300 million, uh, making commercials that there&#8217;s a little invention came out recently called the DVR.  Nobody watches commercials.Meanwhile they&#8217;re spending money actually making the TV show.  Barack Obama is literally putting money into putting Obamacare messaging not into commercials that play between segments of  episodes of your favorite television shows, no, it&#8217;s built into the actual story lines of your favorite television shows.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Michelle Obama is going to be on the season finale of Parks and Recreation.</span></p>
<p>This is what they do, and they do it very cleverly, and it&#8217;s messaged in every single, every single thing that they do.  I mean, it was, recently I saw, how many of you saw the movie Frozen with a kid or a grandkid, ya&#8217; know, this, the, the new Disney film?  Um, so I took my wife to see it because we love Disney films, and there&#8217;s a line in this song which has now become wildly popular, it has 150,000 million hits on YouTube, the song Let it Go.  Right?  There&#8217;s a line in that song, right, tailored for children this song, and the line is no right, no wrong, no rules, I&#8217;m free.  Right?  That is the definition of leftism, the definition of leftism, and it&#8217;s being spoon fed, I mean, it&#8217;s the same stuff Lady Gaga&#8217;s saying except it&#8217;s being spoon fed for kiddies.  Right?  They&#8217;re very clever in how they do it.  We have to be twice as clever and twice as hard hitting, because they have a head start.</p>
<p><b>Daniel Mael: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">On campus people ask me, are you conservative, are you pro-Israel.  I said I&#8217;m not proIsrael, I&#8217;m pro-truth.  And as a function of being pro-truth, I&#8217;m pro-Israel. And that&#8217;s how we have to message.</span></p>
<p><b>Elisha Krauss: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">You touched a little bit on Michelle Obama and how we see the administration kind of accepted and glorified by Hollywood.  I mean recently even Kobe Bryant came out and we joked about this on air about oh, why doesn&#8217;t Obama just take Kobe&#8217;s spot for the Lakers because he spends so much time talking about March madness and stuff.  And then Kobe Bryant comes out and says, &#8220;Yeah, I think Obama would be a great NBA player.&#8221;  So when you have –</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Can&#8217;t you convert him into Tiny Archibald &#8211;</span></p>
<p>Yeah, no, he did.  Like the NBA hall of famer, Tiny Archibald, as opposed to the guy who sat on the bench for Punahou High School in Hawaii.</p>
<p><b>Elisha Krauss: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Which, I mean, I have family in Hawaii.  Punahou is like all white, very expensive high school.  So how are we supposed to come back, because then I think I know how you feel about this.  But how do we appeal to people&#8217;s emotions or humor when there&#8217;s conservative politicians or Republican politicians?  Should they be appearing on Between Two Friends?  Should they be appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmie Fallon – to appeal to the younger generation?</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This is a tactical thing.  You have to scope out the audience.  Mitt Romney appearing on Between Two Friends would go very differently than Barack Obama appearing on Between Two Friends, because the person interviewing is not pro Mitt Romney.  The right tends to walk into these bear traps and then be surprised when it&#8217;s a bear trap.  But go on Jon Stewart and they&#8217;re surprised when they don&#8217;t get tossed softballs the same way that President Obama does.  The answer is not to, you can&#8217;t co-op, or you can; it&#8217;s rare.  It&#8217;s very rare to co-op somebody&#8217;s own show and use it against them.</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Piers Morgan?</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shaprio: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">But, it happens and it&#8217;s fun when it does.  But it&#8217;s a rarity.  This is why we have to get in the business.  We&#8217;ve done this on every other front, right?  They create something and we do it better.  Right, they create a machine and we make a better machine.  This is something that, and it&#8217;s astonishing that the right has decided that they can&#8217;t do it and they&#8217;re so risk-adverse that they won&#8217;t do it.  This is the beauty by the way of a 501(c)(3) organization is that, as opposed to somebody who&#8217;s going to come to you and pitch you on a Ronald Reagan biopic and you have to now make a profit on a Ronald Reagan biopic.  I mean, what we&#8217;re talking about here is an informational campaign, which is really what movies are.  And so it&#8217;s actually, this is why the DHFC, this is why TruthRevolt is the perfect forum for doing this sort of stuff.  Because what you&#8217;re investing in is not profit that you&#8217;re going to make from a movie.  You&#8217;re investing in the fact that there are gonna be 2 million people who watch this move.  Stoning of Soraya M. is a beautiful example of this.  I mentioned this as I was speaking to some folks the other day and I said this.  Stoning of Soraya M., which is actually a very good film and a very effective film, was probably seen by 150,000-200,000 people total.  Now, it was not a box office success, but if it&#8217;s done at a 501(c)(3) level, if it&#8217;s done for informational purposes, it takes tremendous messaging success.</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">By the way, it&#8217;s shown underground in Iran all the time now.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Exactly, so we have to understand that, yes, we have to sacrifice to get into this business and no, we&#8217;re not going to come out immediately with $150 million block blusters with Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson.  Chris Evans hates me by the way, which is odd.  He Tweeted that the other day.</span></p>
<p><b>Elisha Krauss: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">So sad, Captain America hates Ben Shapiro.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yeah, he does.  But, we can get into the business of messaging and that&#8217;s true whether we&#8217;re going to be punching people in the face in the media, or whether we&#8217;re going to be making new contents.  It&#8217;s all part of the same bell.  It&#8217;s all part of the same battle plan and that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re so grateful for all the support that we get from folks like you, because without it we really could not have the ability to build out.</span></p>
<p>Our growth has been so fast.  Jeremy and I talked about this before we even started was, at a certain point we&#8217;re gonna get to the point where now we can move into the space where we can really change hearts and minds; where we&#8217;ve built our base and now we can really change hearts and minds.  We just didn&#8217;t it would take four months, and after four months we&#8217;re there, and that&#8217;s a testament to the desire in the country for something different, something hard-hitting, and something that really is looking to make a change as opposed to more and more and more of the same.  Because we can keep funneling dollars down the same rat holes over and over.  We can go to the same experts who own huge houses and have wonderful collections of memorabilia and we can keep giving them lots of money and we can keep losing, or we can begin changing things.</p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yeah.  I&#8217;ve said this before, but when Stalin saw his first movie – it may be Apocryphal – but when Stalin saw his first movie he said, &#8220;No greater instrument has ever been conceived for the controlling of the minds of man.&#8221;  When Barack Obama said that he was first Black President, Morgan Freeman, the famous actor, objected and said, &#8220;I was the first Black President&#8221; and Morgan Freeman&#8217;s right.  There is no Barack Obama without Morgan Freeman</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Obama wasn&#8217;t even the second Black President.  Dennis Haysbert was the second Black President in 24.</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">That&#8217;s exactly right, on 24.  The reason Hillary Clinton is almost certainly going to be our next President, and I know it&#8217;s a painful thing to say, but it&#8217;s because they have a story.  Hillary Clinton is the first female President.  It almost doesn&#8217;t matter if she&#8217;s elected in 2016.  You know this, she&#8217;s already the first female President.  She&#8217;s been the first female President for 20 years now.  That&#8217;s a story 60 years in the making and we have no story to counter it.  Our best hope is to find the least defensive, least conservative, most moderate heavy-set guy we can and run him against her.  You&#8217;re gonna stand against a 60-year narrative with nothing?  This is what you&#8217;re saying, Ben, it&#8217;s that ultimately the cultural landscape determines the political landscape</span></p>
<p>I think the beauty – you just hit on this.  The beauty of what TruthRevolt demonstrates, which should really resonate with anyone who&#8217;s made a living in this country, is that there is actually a market for this product and no one is trying to step in and fill that market in efficiency.  Heritage Foundation with $80 million a year is not trying to fill this market in efficiency.  There is an amazing opportunity for whoever is willing to seize it and we&#8217;re very grateful, yes, to the people in this room and also to David and to Mike Finch for having the vision to try to step in.</p>
<p><b>Elisha Krauss: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Are there some questions? </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>Audience Member:</strong> Here&#8217;s a thought I&#8217;d like you to respond to.  It seems to me the perfect scenario is that within a few years you guys are making entertainment products or participating in making them that are hits by themselves.  They&#8217;re hits without regard to the content and the content is just implicit in these smash hits that millions of people see.  Is that the goal?</p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro</b><strong>: </strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yeah.  I mean one of the things that we&#8217;re doing, and this has been one of our goals all along, is not just to create good content but to create the distribution platform.  I mean one of the questions that we get all the time is, okay, so who&#8217;s your list, right?  How are you getting this stuff out?  Well the answer is that every day that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re building.  I mean that&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve built an email list of 45,000 people.  That&#8217;s why the Center has an email list of 150,000 people.  It&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve created partnerships with groups ranging from Young Americans Foundation to, yes, groups like Heritage Foundation where we&#8217;re going to be working with a lot of these groups.  It&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve built partnerships with news organizations like Right Guard.  It&#8217;s why we do what we do to gain a broader distribution mechanism.</span></p>
<p>Look, we understand we can&#8217;t rely on – let&#8217;s put it this way, 2016 was independently distributed.  The second time around it&#8217;s gonna be distributed by Lion&#8217;s Gate, because now the left understands, okay this was a success and now we&#8217;re gonna have to get in the business of getting into this.  The goal is to build a distribution platform so strong – this is where Glenn Beck is very smart.  It&#8217;s to build a distribution platform so strong and so resonant that you can distribute product and it almost doesn&#8217;t matter what product you distribute at a certain point if you have enough people who like it.  I think that our goal today is to say to the people in this room and people around the country who are patriots, we want to say, please give us some money so that we can take this message and give it to young people.</p>
<p>Our goal ten years from now is to say to young people, give me $10 bucks and I&#8217;ll give you our lesson.  I mean that&#8217;s what Hollywood does.  People pay $10.00 to get indoctrinated by Avatar.  So yeah, ultimately we want to create work that stands on its own two legs.  That&#8217;s the fundamental shift and that&#8217;s where they connect.  First, as I was saying, our whole goal at the beginning was build the base, grow the base, and then use that base to push out, word of mouth and distribution.  Then, eventually you&#8217;ve got enough people who are in your wheelhouse or visiting your web site to see the nine stupid reasons that you hated Titanic.  You have enough people who are visiting your web site and on your email list and engaging with your content, that now when you release a piece of content that they&#8217;re not doing it just on a whim.  They&#8217;re desperate to see it.  They want to see it.  I can promise you that aside from 2016, the number of people who are desperate to see documentaries is very, very low.  I mean that&#8217;s just the reality of it.  The most successful documentaries of all time are about as successful as a C-level movie in Hollywood.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not a fan – I said this to Jeremy and other folks so many times – I&#8217;m not a fan of trying to draw the audience to me.  I wanna go where the audience is.  This is why, for example, we now have a relationship with the Young Americans Foundation, where instead of us setting up events on college campuses and trying to draw students to come watch David or me to speak, we&#8217;re going to have them funneling us information about events that are already going on.  We&#8217;re going to go and crash the party.</p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing:</b> <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Let the left draw the crowd and then we&#8217;ll send Ben to tell them they&#8217;re all Jew haters.</span></p>
<p><b>Audience Member: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I wanna preface my remark by saying I think this is an extremely interesting and innovative entrepreneurial thing that you&#8217;re trying to do.  You&#8217;ve inculcated Andrew Breitbart&#8217;s view that politics is downstream of culture.  But, we&#8217;ve all been picked off in this room and other places and conservatives about David Brock and Media Matters for many, many years.  What do you say to the charge that you&#8217;re our David Brock and this is a shoestring version of Media Matters?</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Good, F that guy.  I said good, F that guy.  Look, these are tactics that we wish we didn&#8217;t have to use.  We wish that the other side didn&#8217;t have nuclear weapons.  They do have nuclear weapons, so we can sit here and whine about it, or we can have mutually issued destruction; which is you come after our guys and we&#8217;ll come after your guys.</span></p>
<p><strong><b>Elisha Krauss</b>:</strong> <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">For too long conservatism has kind of backed off of fighting that battle.</span></p>
<p><b></b><strong>Ben Shapiro: </strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Right, I mean we wanna be the nice guys in the room.  We don&#8217;t wanna be the guy who calls up the donor and bothers them.  We don&#8217;t wanna be the guy who calls up the advertiser.  I mean they&#8217;re just trying to run a business after all.  Yeah, but they&#8217;re funding the bad guys.</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing:</b> <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">That&#8217;s right.  Listen, Ben and I when we first started had this conversation, which is, is it a problem that we believe in free speech, but part of our mandate is going to be to curtail speech on the left.  What we came to is the mutual issue destruction concept.  The only thing less moral than using nuclear weapons is letting nuclear weapons be used against you.  Ben said this on the day that we launched and it&#8217;s very important to us, because we do believe – listen, I love Martin Bashir having a TV show.  This is another Andrew Breitbart point of view.  I want the left to talk.  I want people to hear what the left has to say, because I think in an actual marketplace of ideas when people hear their ideas and they hear our ideas they&#8217;re gonna pick our ideas but we don&#8217;t have a fair marketplace of ideas.  Like everything else in the country the marketplace has been regulated by the left and it&#8217;s been regulated to a place where the left gets to say what they wanna say and we get to shut up and go home.  So Ben said this on the day we launched and we stand by it, &#8220;The day the Media Matters hangs up their spurs we&#8217;ll hang ours up right next to them and we can all go back to having a fair conversation.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><b><b>Daniel Mael:</b> </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I&#8217;ll just add on campus they often hide behind the free speech issue.  It&#8217;s never an issue about free speech.  You have a right to free speech.  You don&#8217;t have a right to your own facts.  Oftentimes, you&#8217;re just manipulating facts, so again, that&#8217;s also an emphasis.</span></p>
<p><b>Audience Member: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I just wanna say you are what America has been looking for.  Thank you.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Thank you, that&#8217;s very kind of you.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Then, I also wanna ask you a quick question.  You may not tell us, but give us a teaser of what your first major motion picture would be about.</span></p>
<p><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The end of the world.</span></p>
<p><b>Audience Member: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">No seriously, what would you attack in that first – where would you go with the mental imaging?</span></p>
<p><b></b><strong><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b></strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">than specific ideas and this is what the left does so well.  In fact, when they try to get too specific, their movies start to fall apart.  You wind up with Redacted or the 13 other anti-Iraq ones. </span></p>
<p>The beautiful thing about Redacted, Redacted cost $25 million to make.  At the domestic box office it made $25,000.00.  By the way, that&#8217;s a hit for Hollywood.  I mean it accomplished what they wanted it to accomplish, right.  It wasn&#8217;t a business decision.  But the lesson from that is that when you try to use a movie to do a very specific – a movie is not the job for a scalpel.  It&#8217;s the job for a hammer.  So, we want to make and we have three concepts right now at the feature level, and they may sound frivolous, but they&#8217;re actually the most important things we can do.  We want to make a sci-fi horror movie that&#8217;s about the surveillance state and about the fact that you have no freedom of information anymore.  We want to make a superhero movie that&#8217;s about free will versus forcing your will on other people.  We wanna make a specific movie about the terrorism of Palestinians against Jewish civilians.  That&#8217;s the most specific we wanna get, but it&#8217;s to answer a very specific weapon that being used against us.</p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Right and I&#8217;ve been talking with folks &#8211;</span></p>
<p><b><b>Jeremy Boreing</b>: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The third one in particular.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b>Exactly, there&#8217;s actually a movie out.  I don&#8217;t know how many of you have seen it now.  It&#8217;s called Little Town of Bethlehem and it&#8217;s actually funded by the Hobby Lobby guy and it&#8217;s a dramatically anti-Israel film.  I&#8217;ve talked to folks inside the Israeli government and they say it&#8217;s one of the most damaging things to the State of Israel that&#8217;s happened in a very long time.  It&#8217;s a fiction film that is based around the idea of the suffering of Palestinians.  So this is a direct response to that.  But the goal is, we have to take baby steps.  We have to walk before we can run.</p>
<p><b></b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">So we are testing the waters.  We&#8217;re gonna start just like we&#8217;ve done here.  I said to Mike when we first started TruthRevolt that we did not want one day where we were operating in the red in terms of our costs exceeding the amount that people were giving to us, because we don&#8217;t want to be Democrats and we don&#8217;t wanna be Leftists.  The same thing is true here.  We&#8217;re going to gradually attune people to what we&#8217;re doing.  Because let&#8217;s face it, you get in a room like this with a lot of people who are really politically motivated and you say, the most important thing you can do is the superhero movie.  And they say what?  Hillary Clinton is running in 2016.  The answer is we&#8217;re right and, yes, Hillary Clinton is running in 2016.  Those two things are not mutually exclusive and so we have to drive on all levels.  This is why, it&#8217;s not we&#8217;re abandoning our core mission, far from it.  We&#8217;re using our core mission to service in an even more broad and important part of that core mission.</span></p>
<p><b><b>Jeremy Boreing:</b> </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The generational struggle, and the reason you make sci-fi action horror movies and action movies and superhero movies is because those are the movies people actually go see.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Do you wanna know how to reach young people?  Why don&#8217;t you ask a young person once in a while instead of asking 75-year-old consultant?  Really, ask somebody who&#8217;s 17.  I swear to god the number of people who I&#8217;ve talked to say, the way to reach young people – and the person hasn&#8217;t been young since Steve McQueen was starring in Great Escape.  The way to reach young people and then they&#8217;re struggling with an iPad.  Is the &#8220;I&#8221; capitalized or is it lower case?</span></p>
<p><b></b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">You wanna know what young people think, talk to some people who are young and go where the young people are and it ain&#8217;t hard to figure out.  You can see what young people want, because we see the Nielsen ratings.  We see which movies they watch.  We see what they do on a cultural level.  We see that they watch 40 hours of TV every single week.  How many hours do they spend reading Friedrich Hayek or pamphlets about Friedrich Hayek?  We&#8217;ve got to go where the – this is pure – what&#8217;s the name of the bank robber?</span></p>
<p><b>Audience Member: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Willie Sutton.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Willie Sutton, we go where the money is.  You rob the banks.  Why does he rob banks, because that&#8217;s where the money is?  Why are we gonna go into Willie Sutton?  Why are we gonna go into this business, because it&#8217;s where the young people are.  We don&#8217;t wanna have to search them out.  We don&#8217;t have to go out there with a mag – by the way if you can locate me the one 18 year old who would prefer, </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">prefer</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">, to sit there reading Friedrich Hayek to watching the movie 300, I will pay you $1 million right now.  That person does not exist.  So let&#8217;s deal with realities, not realities we wish it to be.  That&#8217;s a Leftist thing to do, realities as we wish it to be.  Vladimir Putin is a nice guy who just has everybody&#8217;s best interests at heart.  Reality as we wish it to be.  Young people love, desperately love reading the collective works of Winston Churchill.  Okay, let&#8217;s be real now.  The only thing that may have seen, </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">may</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> have seen with Winston Churchill and that is the King speech where he&#8217;s a peripheral character and even then the chances that they saw are really low.</span></p>
<p><b><strong><b>Elisha Krauss</b>:</strong> </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I think that&#8217;s one of the things that&#8217;s so great about TruthRevolt is a lot of the pieces that are features on the site also are in correlation with video or imagery.  I mean for not even young people, but my mother&#8217;s ADD and she&#8217;s 56 years old and she&#8217;s like, &#8220;I love going there because I can read a quote.  I can read the 1,000 words or less and get the information that is also in the video.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Right and this is what FrontPage, TruthRevolt do differently.  FrontPage is a place for thinking.  FrontPage is a place where you have 1,500 word articles that give you the full perspective on what Vladimir Putin is doing in Crimea.  TruthRevolt is here&#8217;s what happened in the last 5 minutes, here&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important, 250 words or less.  It should take you 5 minutes to view every article on TR and that&#8217;s what we see.  I mean the time spent on site for us is significantly lower than FrontPage Mag, but our traffic is significantly higher than FrontPage Mag.  That&#8217;s because people are coming and they&#8217;re seeing what they wanna see and then they&#8217;re leaving and that&#8217;s fine.</span></p>
<p><b><b><b>Jeremy Boreing:</b></b> </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It&#8217;s our job to bring them back 5 minutes later and tell them what happened while they were gone.</span></p>
<p><b></b><strong>Ben Shapiro:</strong> Correct.  By the way, it&#8217;s worthwhile saying this because we haven&#8217;t said it yet and this is off the point but it&#8217;s worth saying.  When it comes to fundraising, we are very project-specific.  This is not sign us a blank check and we&#8217;ll come back to you later and tell you where it went.  I mean it really is – we try to be as transparent as possible.  When I say &#8220;try to be&#8221; we are transparent.  Not like Barack Obama, like if there is foyer request we&#8217;ll actually answer it and we will not restrict media access.  Everything is project specific because people should know where the money and their time and their effort is going.  They should always know that, because again, we are not Communists.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><b><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b></b>If we stop winning victories, don&#8217;t give us any money.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">There was a guy who called in who&#8217;s a businessman.  He does business all of Eastern Europe.  He was saying exactly the same thing.  There&#8217;s no substitute for voice of America, but I&#8217;m gonna use the Rand Paul line here, which is a rarity for me for a variety of reasons.  The Rand Paul line is that when it comes to this particular battle, nation building at home.  Meaning that, yes, we hope to expand globally, but right now the problem in America is that Americans have forgotten what it means to American.  Americans don&#8217;t know what it means to be an American.  It used to be this is a country founded on an ideal.  Everybody who joined here – the reason that Jeremy&#8217;s folks who have been here longer than my peeps; my peeps came over here in 1907.  When did your people get here?</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><b><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b></b>The late 1600s, there&#8217;ve been from Boreings as long as there&#8217;s been an America. You might </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">call us the chosen people of America.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The reason that Jeremy and I can do something like this and the reason that my great-great-grandfather could come here and join in is because this was a country founded on a philosophy and an ideal.  There are people who are born in America who frankly don&#8217;t belong here, because they don&#8217;t buy into the ideal, and they are people who are trying to get in who do belong here because they do believe in the ideal.  When we became a nation that was not founded on an ideal, but a nation founded on birthplace, you won the gene lottery.  Congratulations, you&#8217;re born here and now you get all the benefits, then we lost our way.</span></p>
<p>Americans need to be reminded in every way possible from cultural to political to browbeating people and, yes, we&#8217;re not afraid to do that, and shaming people that there is a philosophy in this country worth fighting for and that it&#8217;s a philosophy that must stand up.  If you don&#8217;t believe in that philosophy, you&#8217;re standing against good period.  It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re born here.  It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re born elsewhere.  If you are standing against that philosophy, you are standing against what is good and what is just and what is right and I don&#8217;t care if your people have been here since the 1600s or 1500s and I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re descended from Native Americans and they&#8217;ve been here since the land bridge collapsed.  It doesn&#8217;t matter.  The bottom line is that if you don&#8217;t buy in to the philosophy of what it means to be an American, then you are fighting against what America stands for.  You&#8217;re not a patriot and that&#8217;s a battle that we ought to be fighting every day and that&#8217;s a cultural battle, an emotional battle and an intellectual battle and an activist battle, which is why we&#8217;re trying to take it on, on all of those fronts.</p>
<p><b>Audience Member: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I just wanna say first of all you guys might not be wielding guns in Afghanistan, but you sure are fighting on the frontlines and I know you take a lot of hits, so thank you for what you&#8217;re doing.  My question is not exactly about what you&#8217;re doing now, but I think it&#8217;s in your wheelhouse.  It has to do with the fact that 100 percent, not just young people, but everybody is compelled by compassion and fairness.  Not everybody is compelled by some of the arguments we tend to make, which have to do with law and order and patriotism.  </span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This was born in the 2012 election. </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">We know that exit polls that Romney won three out of the four having to do with policy and leadership, but he lost 81 to 19 who cares about people like me, which means that a lot of Republicans thought Obama cared more about them.  So I&#8217;d like to know your response to – it&#8217;s more of a downstream question we wanna win in an election.  How do we use the culture?  How could we capture that?</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">This is exactly right.  It&#8217;s the exact right question and the answer is, not exactly what people think it is.  So people think that Mitt Romney, that Barack Obama won the poll question, which person cares more about people like you.  That&#8217;s not exactly correct.  Mitt Romney actually lost the poll question, which person of these two cares less about people like you.  In other words the negative, the other side of that coin is the one that matters.  Nobody believes that Barack Obama is compassionate.  Nobody believes that Barack Obama is a nice human, okay because he&#8217;s not.  Nobody believes that all of the people on the left are wonderful compassionate and deeply caring people.  They aren&#8217;t.  What they believe is that we&#8217;re evil and this is what movies are good for.  This is what entertainment and culture are good for.  They&#8217;re good for creating a villain.</span></p>
<p>Now I am going to steal something that Jeremy says, so tough, deal with it.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><b><b>Jeremy Boreing: </b></b>Well, when you get to be my age &#8230;</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Jeremy, who cites Star Wars as though he actually had stock in the movie, he&#8217;s fond of saying that, &#8220;Luke Skywalker is the most boring character in the history of film.&#8221;  Which is true, Luke Skywalker is a deeply-boring character.  If he were to say, I want to destroy the Death Star and I want to kill 100,000 innocent people aboard the Death Star, you would say, who are you?  You&#8217;re boring and why do I care?  The movie doesn&#8217;t start with Luke Skywalker.  The movie starts with Darth Vader, a giant ship overtaking a small ship, which obviously power and victim.  Then, the door bursting open after being blowtorched open and a 7-foot-tall guy in a black death mask walks in and chokes somebody to death, holding him off the floor while crushing his larynx.  That&#8217;s how you know Luke Skywalker is the good guy and you haven&#8217;t met him yet.  This is what movies are good for.  Movies are significantly better at creating villains than heroes.  Villains are very important.  This is why when we say we wanna create a short film about how the Palestinians terrorists are the villains and it doesn&#8217;t even matter who the heroes are.  The victims are the heroes in this case, but people get it wrong.  The dichotomy is actually not in storytelling today between heroes and villains, it&#8217;s actually between victims and villains.  Do you want to create compassion, find a victimizer.</span></p>
<p><b></b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Do you want to make people feel like they care about you?  Then you need to make them feel like the other guy does not care about you and doesn&#8217;t give a damn about you and actually wants to harm you. That&#8217;s why I read that Nancy Pelosi quote.  Anyway in there did you hear her say, we care about kids?  No, all she said was, you don&#8217;t care about kids.</span></p>
<p><strong><b><b>Daniel Mael:</b></b> </strong><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">On campus, this is exactly where we&#8217;re getting defeated.  Because J Street, your president, this is a quote you gave.  &#8220;There&#8217;s an oppressor and there&#8217;s an oppressed.  Israel is the oppressor and the Gazans are the oppressed.&#8221;  This quote was given in 2011.  Israeli Apartheid League, the Anti-Semitic League that actually supports the VDS that Ben actually spoke out against, J Street your president gave a quote.  &#8220;The oppression that SJP is seeking to highlight this week is legitimate and is the same suffering that J Street is seeking to end.&#8221;  So, more than ever TruthRevolt is needed.</span></p>
<p><b><b><b>Jeremy Boreing:</b></b> </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">That&#8217;s the genius of David&#8217;s go for the heart tracking.</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">I mean all of this is straight from the mouth of David.  I mean I grew up with two mentors basically, Andrew Breitbart and David.  Everybody who works at TR inculcates the basic philosophy, which is that it is about the heart.  It&#8217;s not about the head.  Nobody is going to – people make up their decisions.  Science chose this.  People make up their decisions whether they like you or hate in literally a split second.  They meet you and they decide whether they like you or hate you and that sits their entire life.  It is almost impossible to change perceptions once that has been decided.  Hollywood is in the business of creating people that you like and they having them do things that you hate, but you already like them so you accept the things that they&#8217;re doing. We need to be in the business of creating people that you hate, who happen to be aligned with philosophies that should be hated.</span></p>
<p><b><b><strong><b>Elisha Krauss</b>:</strong></b> </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Last question.</span></p>
<p><b>Audience Member: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Hey, so what&#8217;s next for the comics?</span></p>
<p><b>Ben Shapiro: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Oh yeah, so with the comics we&#8217;re really excited about this.  We&#8217;re getting ready to – we have to commission it and then we&#8217;re gonna launch it.  The goal would be to get it in all of the home schooling networks all around the country.  We wanna make it – this is what&#8217;s great about it.  We&#8217;re gonna make it nonpartisan.  It&#8217;s just the true story of American history.  There are not gonna be any sucker punches, because American history happens to be deeply conservative.  It happens to be deeply in favor of liberty and freedom, so you don&#8217;t have to twist it.  The left has to twist the story.</span></p>
<p>Actually this is really interesting.  I was browsing Twitter the other day, because I have it open all the time.  It&#8217;s a good source of news and an historical pic pops up.  There&#8217;s a Twitter account called Historical Pics.  It pops up and it&#8217;s a picture from 1939 of a Bund rally.  What do you think is at the front of the Bund rally?  American Nazi Party. What do you think is at the front of the Bund rally.  They have big rafters.  They have big pictures.  Who is it of?  It&#8217;s not Hitler.</p>
<p><b>Next Speaker: </b><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It&#8217;s George Washington; a big picture of George Washington and the American flag.  The left has to co-op the images that are natural to us.  The left has to pervert the images that are natural to us.  As far as this graphic novel, we are going to be using the images that are natural to us.  Our goal is not to use one on the Revolutionary War.  Our goal is to carry it forward from Boston Massacre through present, and tell the true story of what&#8217;s happening.  So when you&#8217;re done there should be 50 graphic novels on your shelf that tell the full story.  By the way, these are the predicate for movies, right?  That&#8217;s the goal of a graphic novel, 300 becomes a movie.  A huge number of the movies that are now successful started off as graphic novels.  That&#8217;s the goal.</span></p>
<p>We&#8217;re creating a marketplace.  We&#8217;re creating our own market and we&#8217;re doing it through the educational means and we&#8217;re doing it in a way that I think folks can understand.  Because while people here may not be used to funding movies, they are used to funding books and pamphlets; this is just a different type of book or pamphlet that actually gets across to young people.  We start with that.  That&#8217;s the baby steps and then soon we&#8217;re walking and soon we&#8217;re running.  So that&#8217;s the goal is to create a full series, a full series starring all of American history; Civil War, World II, Civil Rights Movement, all the through using the graphic novel techniques that people actually accept.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Freedom Center’s counter-offensive to Media Matters hits its mark.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TruthRevoltLogo.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-206981" alt="TruthRevoltLogo" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TruthRevoltLogo-450x337.png" width="315" height="236" /></a><strong>Visit <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/">TruthRevolt.org</a>.</strong></p>
<p>This week the David Horowitz Freedom Center <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/frontpagemag-com/truth-revolt-launches-sharpton-advertisers-targeted">launched</a> TruthRevolt (TR), the right’s counter-offensive to the George Soros-funded media attack dog <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7150">Media Matters</a>. TR is designed to hold the mainstream media accountable for its leftist bias, so naturally those leftist media outlets, already feeling the heat, are attempting to dismiss and delegitimize it and its founders, David Horowitz and Ben Shapiro.</p>
<p>“This will get personal,” says Shapiro, embracing a tactic that formerly has been the province of the demonizing left, who subscribe to the Alinsky aim of personalizing a target and destroying him or her. “This will get rough. We’re ready for action.” TruthRevolt did in fact take action right out of the gate, its initial target being the patriarch of race-baiting demagoguery himself, MSNBC’s Al Sharpton. Shapiro initiated a <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/petition/tell-advertisers-stop-backing-al-sharpton">petition</a> calling on advertisers, specifically Mondelez International, the owner of Ritz Crackers, to stop supporting Sharpton’s show <i>PoliticsNation</i>. The petition has acquired nearly 5,900 signatures since the launch two days ago, the first thousand of them in under fifteen hours.</p>
<p>How did the news media respond to TR’s arrival on the scene? The major news outlets like ABC and CBS, perhaps either underestimating the popular support for such a right-wing media offensive, or hoping it will go away, simply chose not to bring attention to the launch. Not even MSNBC itself deigned to acknowledge TruthRevolt, at least on its website. Conservative sites like <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2013/10/07/conservative-group-calls-on-ritz-crackers-boycott-over-al-sharpton-sponsorship/">TheBlaze</a> and <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/10/06/Ben-Shapiro-TruthRevolt-Will-Make-MSM-Pay-for-Lies-Change-Nature-of-Media">Breitbart.com</a>, of course, reported it, and a mixture of anticipation and zeal was in strong evidence among the commenters on those sites, who have long been awaiting a weapon like TR to bring the leftist media to their knees. “It’s about time,” was the general attitude.</p>
<p>What other mainstream media reports there were of the launch ranged from the careful neutrality of <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/media-matters-gets-some-right-644390"><i>The Hollywood Reporter</i></a> (<i>THR</i>) to the subtle editorializing of  <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/07/al-sharpton-politicsnation-advertisers-targeted-in-new-boycott.html">The Daily Beast</a> to the dismissal of <i>Time</i> to the predictable smears from the Huffington Post and Media Matters itself.</p>
<p>To its credit, <i>The Hollywood Reporter</i> kept things professionally objective in its <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/media-matters-gets-some-right-644390">full-length coverage</a>. Time.com, on the other hand, did a very brief <a href="http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/10/08/al-sharptons-infamous-cracker-speech-spurs-conservative-boycott-of-ritz-20-years-later/">write-up</a> that completely ignored the launch and TruthRevolt’s mission, characterizing TR merely as a series of boycotts. Their headline (“Al Sharpton’s Infamous ‘Cracker’ Speech Spurs Conservative Boycott of Ritz 20 Years Later”) and article imply that the boycott against Sharpton’s advertisers is twenty years too late and that the advertisers themselves are largely indifferent to the threat.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/07/boycott-ritz-crackers-al-sharpton_n_4058225.html">Huffington Post</a> whistled the same tune in its coverage of the TruthRevolt launch, dismissing the Sharpton boycott as “drudging [sic] up comments from 20 years ago.” The Daily Beast also slipped in a reference to “dredging up 25-year-old incidents to spur a boycott,” as if Sharpton hasn’t filled those intervening years with a career full of racist mendacity, most recently capitalizing on and exploiting Trayvon Martin’s death. (At least the Daily Beast spelled “dredging” correctly.)</p>
<p>A Daily Caller <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/08/ben-shapiro-conservative-activists-shamefully-boycott-nabisco-over-sharpton-ad/">editorial</a> by Patrick Howley oddly slammed Shapiro for using the left’s own tactics against it, and suggested that somehow Shapiro and TruthRevolt are anti-free speech. Apparently Howley has forgotten that the left has been pushing with all its might to shut down conservative talk radio for many years. He also cited a 1984 electoral map as evidence that the right is not a victimized class, as if conservatives don’t have a right to take action against blatant media bias. Sorry Mr. Howley, but boycotts are not censorship, and if you think that the right should continue to fight the Alinsky-trained left according to Marquess of Queensbury rules, then you don’t comprehend the fight we’re in or the enemy we’re up against. Managing editor Jeremy Boreing <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/daily-caller-declares-truth-revolt-responsible-2012-republican-presidential-defeat">rebutted</a> Howley on the TR site, pointing out that the old electoral map</p>
<blockquote><p>was before the twenty-four hour news cycle, before the cell phone and the internet, and before the rise of political correctness and multiculturalism actively defined those who ‘subscribe to the political ideology of Ronald Reagan’ as racist, greedy, warmongering, homophobic, bigots fighting a war on the poor and on women in the American pop-culture.</p></blockquote>
<p>In “<a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/2013/10/07/meet-the-right-wing-leaders-of-truthrevolt/196320">Meet The Right-Wing Leaders Of ‘TruthRevolt</a>,’” Media Matters noted the movement’s debut and then commented that “the history of two main TruthRevolt figures, Ben Shapiro and David Horowitz, suggests the site won&#8217;t prioritize accuracy or refrain from smears” – which is rather comical projection on their part, considering that the mission of Media Matters itself is to distort and smear. The article then proceeds to try to paint Horowitz and Shapiro as racist right-wing nut jobs with a list of selective quotations, without addressing the substance or context of those statements – the left’s usual tactic of demonizing rather than debating. Horowitz, for example, is quoted as saying “Blacks are the human shields of the Democratic party,” and as claiming that conservative activists Suhail Khan and Grover Norquist represented a Muslim Brotherhood infiltration at the 2011 CPAC – neither statement of which is refuted by Media Matters but is simply presented as supposed evidence of Horowitz’s paranoia.</p>
<p>According to Shapiro, the traffic on the TR website’s first day was massive: over 100,000 visits, over 90,000 unique visitors, and a quarter of a million page views. As for a social media presence, TR has already amassed over 2,600 Twitter followers and 3,800 Facebook “likes” as of this writing.</p>
<p>Whether the left likes it or not or pretends to ignore it, TruthRevolt has kicked off with a bang, not a whimper, and is poised to give progressives a taste of their own medicine and help “right” our country’s long-standing media imbalance.</p>

<p>A group of conservative activists, tired of what they see as a persistent and little remarked liberal bias in the news media, are set to begin a series of boycotts aimed at advertisers who sponsor what they see as left-wing networks, outlets, and journalists.</p>
<div>
<p>On Sunday they announced their first target, the <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/08/25/al-sharpton-s-controversial-msnbc-gig-blasted-by-critics-black-journalists.html">Rev. Al Sharpton</a>, the civil-rights leader turned MSNBC talk-show host whose <i>PoliticsNation</i> has grown in influence and audience since making its debut two years ago.</p>
<p>“Sharpton is a racial extortionist who has instigated racial animosities, violence, and division in America for the last forty years,” write the boycott’s organizers. “In better times, Sharpton would be stigmatized and condemned for the damage he has done. But today he is a primetime host on MSNBC—the charter cable news network for NBC News, and a favored outlet for the Obama administration’s spin doctors.”</p>
<p>The boycott is part of <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org/">Truth Revolt</a>, a new project by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a right-wing foundation that has focused on what it calls liberal bias in Hollywood and on college campuses. Truth Revolt, which says its purpose is to “unmask leftists in the media for who they are, destroy their credibility with the American public, and devastate their funding bases,” is led by Ben Shapiro, an editor-at-large for the conservative website Breitbart News and the author, most recently, of <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bullies-Culture-Intimidation-Silences-Americans/dp/1476709998/ref=as_at?tag=thedailybeast-autotag-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;" target="_blank">Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America</a></i><i>.</i></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ds.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-206544" alt="ds" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ds-352x350.jpg" width="246" height="245" /></a>At last!  A multi-media campaign that will take the battle to the demagogues who spin the nation’s news. This is TruthRevolt, a brainchild of Ben Shapiro, that is designed to expose the hypocrisies and mendacities of the leftwing media, and confront them with a counter-attack they won’t be able to handle.</p>
<p>Exhibit Number One&#8211;Al Sharpton.</p>
<p>Sharpton is one of the most pernicious racial demagogues of the last half-century. He is a liar who falsely accused a district attorney and five other innocent whites of raping 15-year-old Tawana Brawley in 1987 and then hounded the men, although Brawley made up the story herself. Sharpton is the man who raged against the “white interloper” who owned a store in Harlem, after which one of his followers torched the store, causing a fire that killed eight people, all of them Hispanic and black. Sharpton is the lynch mob leader who challenged Jews in Crown Heights to “pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house”; soon after, riots broke out in Crown Heights, and an Orthodox Jew was stabbed to death by a jeering mob. Sharpton is the demagogue who helped gin up racial hatred against three innocent Duke lacrosse players, and who helped turn Trayvon Martin into a martyr and George Zimmerman into the target of race-baiting vigilantes.</p>
<p>In other words, Sharpton is a racial extortionist who has instigated racial animosities, violence, and division in America for the last forty years. In better times, Sharpton would be stigmatized and condemned for the damage he has done. But today he is a primetime host on MSNBC – the charter cable news network for NBC News, and a favored outlet for the Obama administration’s spin doctors.</p>
<p>Sharpton shapes the public narrative every day—a narrative in which whites are always guilty, and in which racist America always requires correction by the federal government. And he inspires others in the liberal media to do likewise to spread similar venom. That is why TruthRevolt was created – to expose their hypocrisy and malice, and stimulate a popular revolt against them.</p>
<p>To help us expose Sharpton and embarrass his sponsors, click here: <a href="http://www.truthrevolt.org">www.truthrevolt.org</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Robert J. Shillman, the <b>David Horowitz Freedom Center</b> has launched TruthRevolt to unmask leftists in the media for who they are, use the facts of their distortions and radical political agendas to make the American public aware that they are poltical propagandists in broadcasters’ clothing, and cause their sponsors in America’s opportunity society to think twice before contributing to their destructive causes.</p>
<p>In addition to race-baiters like Sharpton, TruthRevolt will focus on high-profile network figures like George Stephanopoulos (ABC News) and David Gregory (NBC News) who never disclose their leftist commitments; cable hosts who have been granted credibility despite their<b> </b>commitment to partisan agendas, including John King (CNN), Candy Crowley (CNN), Piers Morgan (CNN), Anderson Cooper (CNN), Chris Matthews (MSNBC), Rachel Maddow (MSNBC), Joe Scarborough (MSNBC) and Mika Brzezinski (MSNBC); institutional leftist outlets like <i>The New York Times </i>and <i>The Washington Post</i>; and the most effective messengers of the left in the media, the powerful media figures at Comedy Central, including Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.</p>
<p>But TruthRevolt will not stop there. TruthRevolt understands that all politics is local, and therefore will also confront hypocrisy and news doctoring in the local press, television and radio. Looking to stop the insidious indoctrination of the next generation, TruthRevolt will set up affiliates at colleges around the country to confront the one-party press on university campuses.</p>
<p>TruthRevolt differs from other organizations in its action orientation. It is determined not only to confront the leftwing media, but also to impact their profits.<b> </b>The far-left site Media Matters, run by self-confessed liar David Brock, has achieved enormous success by using the power of astroturfed boycotts and campaigns against conservative media figures, targeting their funders and advertisers. TruthRevolt will fight fire with fire, working to make advertisers and funders aware of the malicious propaganda they sponsor and creating pressure on them to think twice before helping to kill the goose that lays their golden eggs.</p>
<p>Advertising executives often acknowledge that their corporate clients change their advertising plans in response to the calls of a few dozen outraged citizens. TruthRevolt will take them at their word. Its goal is not only to engage in investigative journalism about the leftwing media figures who produce radical ideology masquerading as “news,” but to enlist thousands of conservatives to aggressively call on sponsors of racists like Sharpton and ask them to consider whether mainstreaming such destructive views is in the interest of the public or themselves.</p>
<p>Media Matters started with 27 writers and editors and an $8.5 million budget raised by George Soros and the Clintons. They’ve used this huge bankroll to pound conservatives. TruthRevolt does not have Soros’ millions; but it will speak in behalf of the truth. It will be lean and mean, and because it will be defending a system that produces more wealth for more people than any other, it will beat the left at its own game.</p>
<p>The TruthRevolt Editor-in-Chief is Shillman Senior Fellow Ben Shapiro. Shapiro is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America</i> (2012), <i>Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV</i> (2011), and <i>Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth</i> (2004), among other works. Shapiro is also a nationally syndicated columnist, a graduate of Harvard Law School, and the host of The Morning Answer on KRLA 870 in Los Angeles.  He is the editor-at-large of Breitbart News.</p>
<p>Glenn Beck calls Shapiro a “warrior for conservatism, against those who use fear and intimidation to stifle honest debate. I’ve never known him to back down from a fight.” Sarah Palin says that Americans should “consider Ben’s advice about how we must stand up and push back twice as hard against this bullying.” Sean Hannity says to join Ben Shapiro and “fight back!” against liberal bullying. And Michelle Malkin says Shapiro is “infused with the indomitable spirit of his friend and mentor Andrew Breitbart.” Even the liberal <i>Washington Post</i>, in the aftermath of Shapiro’s devastation of Piers Morgan on national television,<i> </i>conceded that Shapiro is a “foe of extraordinary polemical agility.”</p>
<p>Buckle up. It’s about to get personal.</p>

<p>Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Ben Shapiro, an attorney and writer and a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is the author of the new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bullies-Culture-Intimidation-Silences-Americans/dp/1476709998/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1357646403&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Bullies"><em>Bullies: How The Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America</em></a><em>.</em></p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Ben Shapiro, welcome to Frontpage Interview and congratulations on your new book.</p>
<p>Let’s begin with you telling us what the book is about and what inspired you to write it.</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> What inspired me to write <em>Bullies</em> was the growing realization that the left was completely uninterested in political discussion, and instead was interested in resorting to bully tactics to slime their opposition’s character. Andrew Breitbart was one of my mentors, and he always used to say that the folks on the left were more interested in demonization than they were in debate. They wanted to polarize Americans from one another so they could then pick up the pieces and form them into a coalition for leftism. When Barack Obama was elected, we were supposed to see America transformed into a unified nation once again. Instead, Obama pursued the left’s favored bully tactics more than any president in American history. I felt I had to expose that.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What are some of the Left’s bullying tactics?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro: </strong>The left’s favorite bully tactic is painting its opposition as morally deficient and unworthy of being part of the conversation. The left uses this tactic on virtually every topic. Sequestration? It turns out that those dastardly right-wingers just want to hurt first responders and teachers. Gun control? Those conservatives just don’t care about dead kids. Gay marriage? Conservatives hate homosexuals. Once you paint your opposition as morally bankrupt, you don’t have to win the debate. You win by default. That’s the basis of the political correctness movement.</p>
<p>The Obama administration uses that tactic to destroy its opposition. They work with groups outside the government to target their political opposition and destroy them personally and economically, launching smears and boycotts rather than countenancing the argument.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Who are some of the biggest leftist bullies out there right now?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> President Obama is clearly the ringleader of the leftist bullies. He seeks conflict so that he can paint his opposition as evil. Then he tells the American people that the people he’s facing just won’t compromise –- even as he refuses compromise at every turn – and begs for public support. It’s very effective.</p>
<p>But the left couldn’t get away with any of this without the media. The media are the greatest of all the leftist bullies, because they play at objectivity while sliding the knife in as deep as humanly possible. By lying to the American people about their disinterested reportage, they are able to convince Americans that people of good heart cannot take conservatives seriously. That’s a damaging message.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Your thoughts on how the bullies have taken over our media, many of our institutions  and academia. Why are all the major vehicles of political persuasion controlled by the Left?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> We see leftist bullies in all the major institutions of American life: the university system, Hollywood, the non-profit world. The left thinks institutionally; we think individually. They think about how they can take over institutions and use them as weapons of mass conversion; we think about how we’d like to be left alone. The left understands that it’s more important to control the means of distribution than to convince individuals. That’s why they see Americans as members of groups: religious groups, ethnic groups, age groups, classes. Nobody is an individual. We’re all interchangeable widgets, defined by our socioeconomic environments. That means we’re infinitely changeable if we only had an institution to guide us. Conservatives don’t think this way, so we lose.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Can you talk a bit about how the Left pretends it is on the side of the poor, women and minorities but how reality shows that the opposite is actually the case?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> The left defines itself solely by its self-perception that it stands up for the poor. It can’t claim any victories on that score – civil rights was a bipartisan victory, and in the aftermath of the civil rights movement, the left proceeded to absolutely cripple minority communities through “helpful” government programs that created a massive cycle of dependency. But members of the left have to sleep at night, and so they still define themselves as the folks standing up for all minorities. That’s why they can’t tolerate members of minority groups (those interchangeable widgets) who disagree with them politically. If minorities don’t agree with the left, how can the left claim to stand up for minorities? The only way members of the left can justify their incompetence to themselves is to pretend that those who oppose their agenda oppose minorities, even though it is leftist programs that have done more damage to minority communities than anything since Jim Crow.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Why does the Left hate and bully Sarah Palin so much?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> For the same reason the left hates and bullies Clarence Thomas or Larry Elder: if you’re a member of a minority group and dare to disagree with the left, you’re challenging their very identity. They can’t handle that. So Palin has to be demonized as a tool of the right, an idiot, or corrupt – preferably, all three.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>In your book, you show how the Duke lacrosse rape case was a perfect example of leftist bullying. Can you talk a bit about that case as an example of your book’s thesis?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> The goal of the left in bullying is to set a narrative that jibes with their view of the world. In the Duke lacrosse case, the left wanted a narrative of whites oppressing blacks, especially in the South. So they simply ignored the facts and created a story out  of whole cloth about privileged white men raping a black woman. The entire media ran with it in order to talk about how America was still, underneath, a racist country. All of this was designed to remind the left that they are the white hats in this moral equation – that they are fighters against the prevailing racist establishment. It turns out that the whole story was a fabrication. But the left media had already ruined the lives of the white lacrosse players. Even today, some members of the left media express little or no remorse for their actions in the Duke case – including MSNBC’s own Al Sharpton, who has done more damage to race relations in this country than virtually anybody.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>How does the Left get away with all of this?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro: </strong>The media is what shapes Americans’ perceptions, and the media is dominated by the left. The truth is that most Americans don’t follow politics all that closely. They bathe in the water of the culture, and the culture is controlled by the bullying left. So when they watch movies and corporations are always nasty and evil, they take away the message that corporations are nasty and evil. When they watch TV and see that all gay families are wonderful and loving, and most straight families are dysfunctional, complete with stupid father and put-upon mom, they take away the socially liberal message that all family structures are created equal. The right is still operating under the assumption that the background noise in this country is still conservative. It isn’t. Every day that we refuse to fight back, we lose more ground.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>What if we continue to allow the Left to engage in bullying without fighting back?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro: </strong>Then the left will continue to win. The only way to have a civil debate with someone on the left is to get past their character assassination. And that takes guts.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>How can we fight back? What can we do to make a change? As you reveal in your book, Andrew Breitbart had some of the best ideas and tactics in this regard, yes?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> Andrew was a warrior. He recognized that if we’re going to win, we have to walk toward the fire. The left will attack us no matter what. We have to embrace that and tell them that their slings and arrows mean nothing. When they call us racist, sexist bigots, they have no arguments – they are showing their weakness. All we have to do is turn those arguments back on them. If they lie about us, we will tell the truth about them. It is not racist to support voter ID. It <em>is </em>racist to suggest that supporting voter ID somehow makes you racist – and it’s even more racist to suppose that black people are somehow incapable of getting a voter ID. It’s most racist of all to use the charge of racism to cover for your own incompetence, keeping millions of minority children in failing schools to pay off your teachers union cronies and bilk taxpayers out of billions of dollars.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Tell us some of the Left’s reactions to the book.</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> They hate it, predictably. Most won’t read it. That’s okay. It’s a handbook on how to fight them. It’s foolish of them not to, just as it’s foolish for conservatives not to read <em>Rules for Radicals</em> by Alinsky. The left has reacted to the book and to my arguments by threatening me, tweeting my home address, and targeting me personally. I had to move my wife out of the house for a week. No shock there. This is who the left is, when the mask is off.</p>
<p><strong>FP: </strong>Final thoughts?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> We cannot win unless we see this as a war. The left does. We’ve seen this as a hobby, because we always figured that the status quo of capitalism and family values would carry the day. That’s no longer the status quo. William F. Buckley famously said that it was our job to stand athwart the rails of history yelling stop. That’s no longer true. The train ran us over awhile back. Now it’s our job to get another train – a bigger train – and run it down those tracks at higher speed. We have to derail the left’s agenda, and then push the country back in the right direction.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> It was an honor and privilege to speak to you Ben Shapiro. Thank you for joining Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>And we encourage all of our readers to get their hands on <em>Bullies</em>. It is an absolutely brilliant book. <a href="https://secure.donationreport.com/productattribute.html?productId=7187">BUY IT!</a></p>

<p>Frontpage Interview&#8217;s guest today is Ben Shapiro, an attorney and writer and a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, and author of the book “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Primetime-Propaganda-True-Hollywood-Story/dp/0061934771">Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How The Left Took Over Your TV</a>” from Broadside Books, an imprint of HarperCollins. He was Andrew Breitbart&#8217;s friend and colleague.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Ben Shapiro, welcome to Frontpage Interview.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to talk to us on this tragic and sad day.  Andrew Breitbart was a close friend of the Freedom Center and we know that he was also a close friend of yours.</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> Thank you Jamie.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Can you tell us a bit about Andrew as a person?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> I&#8217;ve known Andrew for 12 years. He was a jovial warrior. A torch in the darkness. A leader.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What was it like working with him?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> Just what you&#8217;d imagine &#8212; insane, hilarious, hard-hitting, and most of all, fun. Andrew was happy in his work, and couldn&#8217;t slow down for a second. It was our job to keep up.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What are your thoughts on <a href="http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/liberals-celebrate-death-andrew-breitbart/403471">the nastiness</a> we see in the Left&#8217;s reaction regarding his death? What <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/andrew-breitbart-death-of-a-douche-20120301">Rolling Stone has done</a>, for instance, is so callously heartless that it defies description.</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> Many on the Left appreciated Andrew for his warrior ethos. Those who didn&#8217;t didn&#8217;t know him, and their hatred for him is evidence of his life&#8217;s mission: that the battle must be fought hard, and fought to win, because the people we&#8217;re fighting are unbelievably nasty. He would have RTed them to prove it.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> What will Andrew&#8217;s legacy be?</p>
<p><strong>Shapiro:</strong> Andrew completely remade the face of political journalism. He took the war to the bad guys, and he enabled conservatives to jettison their fear of the establishment. He never flinched in the face of the opposition and their incessant name-calling. We shouldn&#8217;t either. The fight continues.</p>
<p><strong>FP:</strong> Ben Shapiro, thank you kindly for taking the time out to share your thoughts on Andrew.</p>
<p>Below we run some pictures in loving memory of Andrew Breitbart. He was a close friend of the Freedom Center and we will miss him dearly:</p>

<p>Three distinguished guests recently joined <em>The Glazov Gang</em>, Frontpage’s television program, to discuss the legacy of George W. Bush.

Below are all three parts in the three-part series. <strong>Parts I </strong>and<strong> II</strong> dealt with the problem of Islamists exploiting their own &#8220;religious&#8221; institutions to destroy our society, while <strong>Part III</strong> involved the debate on Bush&#8217;s legacy.</p>

<p>Three distinguished guests recently joined <em>The Glazov Gang</em>, Frontpage’s television program, to discuss finding a balance between religious freedom and national security.</p>
<p>In terms of Mosque-building in America, the issue is made somewhat complicated, to say the least, by “<a href="http://www.investigativeproject.org/document/id/20">The Explanatory Memorandum</a>,” a Muslim Brotherhood strategy document seized in the FBI’s 2004 raid of senior Muslim Brotherhood officer Ishmael Elbarasse’s residence, which revealed that the role of “Islamic Centers” in America is to recruit and train battalions for jihad.</p>
<p>David Yerushalmi’s <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2011/06/10/sharia-and-violence-in-american-mosques/print/">peer review study</a> also raises serious concerns: based upon a representative sample of all US mosques and Islamic Centers, it found that approximately 80% were preaching Muslim Brotherhood jihad literature.</p>
<p>Our guests to discuss this problem were <strong>Eric Allen Bell</strong>, a writer and filmmaker who was recently fired from the “Daily Kos” for telling the truth about Islam, <strong>Ben Shapiro</strong>, Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center<strong>, </strong>and <strong>Doris Montrose</strong>, President of <em>Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors</em>.
