Yesterday's buzz was the story that Sarah Palin chose not to renew her contract with the FOX Network. Today's story is Palin's exclusive and fiery interview with Stephen K. Bannon of Breitbart News. Readers may recall that Mr. Bannon produced "The Undefeated", a documentary on Palin's personal and political life.
This interview is Palin at her best. She's unshackled now!
Palin: 'We Haven't Yet Begun to Fight!'—Exclusive Interview with Breitbart News
by Stephen K. Bannon:
In my research for the film I made on Governor Palin, The Undefeated,
I was constantly amazed at the anti-establishment stands she took at
every step in her rise to power. Moves that a conventional politician
would run from, she embraced: in Wasilla, in Juneau, and in the rise of
the Tea Party. Her ability to see “over the hill” to what is really
important, what really matters, is what sets her apart.
Andrew Breitbart embraced the Governor as a fellow warrior in the
long struggle against a detached and venal political/media complex. He
lives on in spirit and through the work of those he inspired—including,
but not limited to, those who report and contribute at his site.
The Governor has been at the forefront of the fight against the Permanent Political Class and, as such, inspired Peter Schweizer and myself in our work last night on Fox News with Sean Hannity’s special “Boomtown.”
We consider ourselves honored at Breitbart News to have her share with
us her thoughts on the road ahead in this exclusive Q & A.
1. What's next for you?
Short term: I encourage others to step out in faith, jump out of the
comfort zone, and broaden our reach as believers in American
exceptionalism. That means broadening our audience. I’m taking my own
advice here as I free up opportunities to share more broadly the message
of the beauty of freedom and the imperative of defending our republic
and restoring this most exceptional nation. We can't just preach to the
choir; the message of liberty and true hope must be understood by a
larger audience.
Focus on the 2014 election is also imperative. It’s going to be like
2010, but this time around we need to shake up the GOP machine that
tries to orchestrate away too much of the will of constitutional
conservatives who don’t give a hoot how they do it in DC. DC is out of
touch, obviously. Voices on the right like Mark Levin, Rush, and the
writers here at Breitbart have come out strongly against the “go along
to get along” politicians who wave the white flag before the battle even
begins. We’re not going to be able to advance the cause of limited
constitutional government unless we deal with these big government
enablers on our side. And this all ties into the problem of crony
capitalism and the permanent political class in the Beltway. We need to
consistently take them on election after election – ever vigilant.
As far as long-term plans, the door is wide open. I know the country
needs more truth-telling in the media, and I’m willing to do that. So,
we shall see. And always in the center of it all I have an awesome,
full, exciting, and large family living in a very unique part of America
that keeps me hopping! I love it! More
