host: let me follow up with hillary clinton. she is scheduled to testify before the house select committee on benghazi. of stuffwo more waves on clinton corruption, says bannon, including a focus on how the donors highlighted in "clinton cash" violated many of the principles liberals hold dear. if you take anything that the left professes to be a cornerstone value, the clintons have basically played them for fools." guest: certainly. if you look of the details of what has come out in the book, "glenn cash," which was covered by everyone from bloomberg, new york times, and others who

have covered it on their own. you look at the cast of characters, and certainly the troubling relationships that they have had. what we are trying to do is get more information about that stuff out to the american people. there are friends over at the government accountability and stew, which is our partner organization, run by peter schweitzer, as well as through breitbart. anyway we can get more information out to more people about what is happening and the relationships that the clinton foundation has with various troubling characters throughout the world -- by the way, you look at some of these different donors and world leaders that they are associated with, jeffrey epstein -- he is a convicted sex offender. these are serious questions. she is a presidential candidate, she has to answer for this stuff. host: you mention peter schweitzer, the author of "cling

cash." there is a close relationship between him and the ceo of your company. thet: we are proud of relationship. peter has done a phenomenal job putting together a deep research. article that you mention talks about how he goes about getting information. he worked extensively on what is called the dark web, searching throug the parts of the internet there are not easily findable on search engines. he works very hard to go and get this information, and then presented to the public. we are not editorializing, we are presenting the facts. host: i love this picture. it looks like you are in a dining room and a very opulent house in d.c. -- is this where you work? guest: our office is th

behind the supreme court. ed itw breitbart first least i -- our founder. we call the townhouse that we "embassy," for the fact that most americans around the country view washington, d.c. as foreign to them. we jokingly call it "embassy." host: this is the cover story from bloomberg businessweek, children."art's one of the last events that we covered with him was in 2011. here is andrew breitbart. [video clip] i needed to learn, i learned that during the clinton era.

everything. everything. everything. useway that they literally detectives and leaked information to the washington and, the new york times, they were like someone had an affair in 1984 -- are you kidding me? when they got down to the needy nitty-gritty, there was stuff that even salon.com would not publish. they leaked the stuff on harry flint. flint report and went after everything that the private detectives leaked. krel.mac it is so nasty, someone has to

stand up to this, and it cannot sust bam talk radio and blog saying the media is biased. we have to stand up and report the truths that are not reported by these groups of people. host: that is andrew breitbart in 2011. he died less than one year later. founder, laid our out the vision for what we are doing. one of the goals that we have is in thet combating bias media. there are many instances when that is the case. it is not just a pro-democrat, prorepublican bias, it is an establishment bias. we are not just combating the media, we are starting to replace them. host: this is not going to come as a surprise, the pew research center look at what they call polarization.

they say that when it comes to getting news, liberals and conservatives and have i -- and inhabit different worlds. is this healthy for our democracy? guest: i think it is. there are people in the permanent political class in washington that are not happy more media outlets providing information to people. i do think that having multiple outlets from which people can choose is healthy. what we are able to do -- again, we not trying to put an end to editorial spin on what we are doing. we cite our sources. people can choose to believe it or not. one of the things that having more outlets does is it helps prevent certain power figures in washington from keeping information from the public.

host: before writing for breitbart news, you worked for "the daily caller," what else is in your background? guest: i grew up in massachusetts. i'm a former liberal. we are open at breitbart that we are conservative, we do not hide that. we think other people in the media should be open about their politics as well. in 2008, i voted for president obama. in 2010, i went to cover tea party rallies on a freelance basis for "the daily caller," still a little. .-- a liberal i went looking for the races, and could not find the races, so i became a conservative. host: let's hear from john. good morning, john. matthew.i,

was your newspaper around when the iraq war started? guest: we were not. we were founded in 2005. we did not really grow into an original reporting outlet until a little bit -- 2011, 2012. host: here is quick background. 106 staff members based in los angeles, also offices here in washington dc, london, texas, and los angeles. 22 millionut visitors per month and 110 million page views per month. jonathan, back to your question or comment. is, if youquestion are a media reporter you cannot be liberal or conservative, you have to be objective. you are not reporting anything and hisump bankruptcies, how can you run the country? declare bankruptcy and wipe out all our debt? point, oneso to your

of the things that we believe is that because everybody out there in the media does have a personal clinical opinion it is very rare that anybody who does not have an opinion -- everyone should be open about what their opinion is. we have reported many things about trump that go into his background and question some of the decisions he has made. we are not entirely pro-trump. our coverage is down the middle. there are some stories that benefit him and some that do not. mr. trump, dr. ben carson, senator cruz, senator rubio, governor bush. that is our goal. to get more information about all these different candidates. cliff in's go to texas, democrats line. good morning. [indiscernible]

host: we missed the beginning part of what you are going to save -- of what you are going to say, so please repeated. have never told , and ig but what i feel don't care about any of the republicans. i am a democrat. i have been democratic all my years i was a union construction worker in the electrical trade. and iaid my medical guarantee, i know what i think. host: a comment, not a question. did you want to respond? guest: i think there are a lot of people there who -- out there who have their minds made up politically. all we are trying to do is get

more information out to more people. news a question about fox from a viewer who says the following. we are looking at rupert murdoch and his media empire today. how does your reporting different from news corp.? guest: one thing that i would thewe differ from, we love guys at fox news. we're friends with a lot of them. one of the things that breitbart kind of more specializes in is we are out there covering this populist movement that is happening around the country. the issues of, say, immigration, trade, national security are things that are often ignored by the legacy media in washington. this is not just fox, but it is pretty much all the media outlets. they have become a little bit class,th the political

what we are trying to do is get more information about those issues. , all across party lines americans are concerned about immigration levels to the united states. they are concerned about trade deals and they are concerned about national security. host: this is from jan who says journalist" just admitted they don't do journalism, they do opinions. corrects? the business of going out there and reporting our stories. if people want to call that opinion they can call that opinion. what we are doing is we're going and interviewing newsmakers, presidential candidates, u.s. senators, temp -- congressman and we are getting information from government officials and providing that information on our website. i would call the journalism. host: and karen responding to

very quickly, saying yes, everyone has a bias. at least they are honest about it. patrick joining us from florida, good morning. independent line. caller: good morning. you're guest talks about national security. there is front page reporting in "the wall street journal" that america,hina not in let chinese officials in a secure room read their code. ibm keeps track of a lot of information for government in america. releasing source code in china, not in america with the fbi or nsa around, and c-span did not do any follow-up on this. you spent two hours showing drones, because these people

that own these drones run them , wildfireports suppression. why take another cheap shot at as opposed ton this guy with his former employees gave written statements to the fbi saying his former -- saying he did deals with drug dealers, prostitutes in china. one other thing if you don't mind. back to yourto go drone point because i want to make sure our audience is clear. we actually did follow up on that topic not only here at "washington journal" but we also did a couple of programs in the afternoon on a show called "washington today." and we actually looked into the house hearing on the topic. go on. minutes.or about 10 tot: no, the hearing was

three hours. it was a lengthy hearing. it is on our website. check it out. liberal,ou talk about conservative, i have seen people call themselves conservatives and whine about some family getting food stamps, but it does not bother them for another trillion dollars in the bank bailout. if you start with ronald reagan's bank bailouts, long-term capital, russian ruble , the s&l crisis. over 30 years that is about $4 trillion, and you bring this guy out to go oh, the liberals and conservatives. what is that crop -- what does that crop even mean? host: a lot from patrick. guest: did you want to respond? guest:i would just say he brought up a couple of different

donor types, sheldon o'neills for instance. we are actually in the process right now of putting together a story that walks through a lot of different questionable things politically about sheldon ailes and so that should be coming out fairly soon for things like comprehensive immigration legislation that would lead to amnesty. again, we are trying to hear from every side and asked rubbing questions. the bloomberg article you mentioned in the beginning walked through how we are pretty critical of not just secretary clinton and her relationships but also governor bush, and we of senatorcritical rubio and donald trump or any one of these different characters. we are trying to ask probing questions of all different

people who are candidates for federal office. ont: yet another tweet opinion journalism from michael who says, everyone has their opinion and bias including journalists. the best journalists are not afraid of being concise by both parties. get your opinion on this piece from "columbia journalism review." why journalists should not report on internal polling. it says that reporters can be misled by internal data in a myriad of ways. what is the policy that breitbart. -- what is the policy at breitbart? guest: it is very rare that we will actually do a story on internal polling. it would have to be very well done polling. sizes, we tryple to verify the polls that we do read about, whether they be publicly -- most of them are publicly available polls from .-span, fox news, cnn

bloomberg, major media outlet polls. we are looking into doing our own polling as well. if for an internal paul we're going to write about it, it is going to be the same standards that we have for a next journal poll, which is making sure that the sample sizes well done, that the questions are asked fairly, etc. more if you want to read on internal polling it is available online at columbia journalism review. one more tweet, most journalism today is biased. that is from lisa brown. it's go to 10 in alabama, democrat line. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? host: we are fine. steve, you're one of my favorites on c-span. host: thanks for calling in. question want to ask a first and then i am going to follow up with a comment. i will be brief. breitbart the one

that was sued by the woman who work for the agriculture department? is he not the one that was sued by shirley? guest: that is correct. caller: ok. and i also want to make this, and i'm going to be very honest. becausevery biased donald trump hasn't said some very, very disgraceful, outlandish things that you are not reporting on. that suit is incerned, andrew breitbart, want to make this last point. what is wrong with so many? and i'm going to be very clear when i say this. what is wrong with so many white men on the republican side that are so afraid of this woman, mrs. hillary rodham clinton? they are afraid of her. you are afraid of her. you don't want to run against

her because you know she can stand up against any of you all. to -- i havehosen never been called by a pollster ever. so i do not pay attention to polls. have a great sunday. host: thank you. from birmingham, alabama. well, the thing that i would say in response to his comments. first of all, secretary clinton campaign and secretary clinton as a candidate -- she is absolutely incremental candidate. i was at her campaign relaunch event in new york earlier this year. it was very well put together. she did phenomenally in the most .ecent debate she is absolutely incremental candidate.

the -- in terms of the republican outreach to the black beforety, i was watching i came on in the green room, and i noticed you had a magazine cover from the national review about how republicans can reach out to the black community, and i do think that there is an effort underway from republicans to do that. i think the republican national committee has been doing that. we have had stories on this. in addition i think that if you look at candidates like mr. trump or dr. ben carson, they are doing very well in the black community if you look at the polling. very recentmp's polling that has come out, univision has highlighted this as well as "the lesson post" has highlighted the fact that mr. trump campaign is leading against his -- leading amongst

hispanics. i don't think that the narrative his accurate comments about illegal immigration is going to hurt him. because he is a very forceful figure he is able to fight back against the media, that is part of the recent why he is winning. he is able to undercut that not -- narrative and prove to the hispanic and black communities that he is not out there to hurt him. sherrys was brought up, is also in the bloomberg piece. she was fired from her position at the agriculture department, many thanks to his fired without cause. from bloomberg news, and soon became clear that the breitbart news video was misleadingly opposite portray the of what occurred. breitbart blames james o'keefe whothe accident -- activist

supplied the tape. fox news band breitbart as an on-air guest. guest: that matter is over. we are not still dealing with that. i was not at the company at that time. i was at the daily caller at the time. i did not join breitbart until after that all happened. nikki from go to burlington, vermont. independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. how are you? host: well, how are you. caller: fine. so you are saying that that was before your time but yet you are very clear about one that started in relationship to breitbart. that should show you a little bit of the inclinations of your publication -- your online presence. but in terms of you specifically

you said from what -- you went from being a liberal to being a conservative. you are a young guy so that is unusual. revelation when you covered the tea party. you said you were looking for racist and you did not see racist. c-span covers lots of tea party events. i watched it and i saw pictures of obama looking like a witch doctor. they had him looking like a gorilla and things like that. so somehow you missed that? that would be like the stereotypical expression of racism. there are other insidious ways s, likeing people racist doubting his birth not being american. no other candidate ever got questions like that. i never saw eight tea party ask ted cruz about his birth. so when you tell me that you did not experience any racism when you saw these tea parties, i saw

them and i am living in vermont. guest: look. i went around the country, covered tea party rallies in florida, here in washington dc, many rallies elsewhere around the country. frequently saw hundreds of thousands of people who were peacefully protesting. they cleaned up after themselves , we have not seen that other events. they did not leave trash all over the national mall. they were interested and concerned about the direction that our country is headed. they are concerned about the leaders in both congressional parties, but the republican party and the democratic party have not -- in -- -- and this is not exquisite to president obama -- this is also nancy pelosi, harry reid, the speaker of the house john boehner, no current majority leader mitch mcconnell. all of these different members

of the permanent political class here in washington dc in both political parties have not been representing the wishes of the american people. they have not been cutting spending. they have not been reducing the debt. they don't have a plan to turn the country's fiscal crises around. host: george from hudson, florida, the republican line. caller: good morning. how are you guys? host: doing well. caller: mr. boyle, i am a big admirer of andrew boyle. i had the opportunity to meet , he is aple of times great guy, he is not as conservative as people thought he was. i get into this callers crew -- q and i am sitting here sitting -- swimming around in a sea of stupidity. black lives matter, their demonstrations as opposed to the , they are just nasty.

black linestter -- that matters] -- black lives matter wanted to kill all cops. they don't care about the lies, they don't care about white lies. these people that call in, these democrats are all angry about something. they are all angry about conservatives. i commend you for what you are doing and what you have done. keep it up. host: george, can i ask you a question? caller: sure. host: do you watch or listen to fox news? i asked you that because i am curious how you view breitbart versus fox news, or if you check out the drudge report. check out all of them. i go to msnbc which is a joke. i go to cnn. whenever they are saying in the

morning i usually go to fox and friends because these others are so biased. i tend to go more towards the conservative view because they seem to be right. i can't find any lies. host: don't you think fox and friends has an agenda as well? caller: not really. they cover all sides of news. they cover the left and the right and the progressives get on there. are more balanced than cnn or msnbc or cbs, abc. if you look at the morning shows you will see -- even this morning you saw a bunch of democrats on with one republican or one conservative like on the cnn show or the msnbc show. host: what about fox primetime? caller: primetime is basically the afternoon between one -- 1:00 and 5:00. hannityam talking about and bill o'reilly and megyn kelly. caller: i don't watch bill

o'reilly, i don't watch hannity too much. i'm usually watching something else. but i just find them more fair than the other news outlets. you guys at c-span are much better. you are not biased at all. you put out everybody and it gives a chance to people i don't necessarily agree with. in to msnbc or any of those places. you for calling in. we appreciate it. we will get a response. guest: i would just say that i appreciate you reading breitbart. we love all of our readers and we encourage more people to go to our website. that is what we are trying to do. we want to get more and more information out to more people around the country. that is ultimately the goal.

we oh no allegiance to either political party or to any power structure in washington dc. ist we're trying to do exposed stories of the rest of the mainstream media is ignoring. the bloomberg piece also talks about your boss and how he tries to "weaponize." one of the stories is about the demise of anthony weiner, married into cohabiting -- abadeen,to huma longtime aide at hillary clinton. explain that. guest: this is another one of those collars, i was at the daily caller when this story letter -- broke. look, you are fighting through a narrative. hurricane oflike a many other stories that you are competing against on a regular basis to get the american people's attention.

is you you have to do have to get interesting stories and put them up. this is what they teach you in journalism school. this is not something that is partisan one way or another. this is a very basic thing. put the storyimes up. the associated press will do the same. this is what we are trying to do. if we have news we want to lead with it. we want to find ways to capture people's attention, increase our audience. we continue to do that. we are very successful at it. again, that is kind of the goal. to get the most interesting information out to more people. host: our next caller is from north carolina, mark. also on the republican mining. good morning. thanks for waiting. caller: thank you. i was wanting to leave a comment on what they were discussing earlier about trump, they were making the statement that no one

was saying anything about whether or not he would sink america. first of all, he is trying to bring all the jobs and everything back across the water to america that everybody else has shipped across the ocean. that is nothing new for the american people. guest: yes. i want to thank you for asking that question because i think it brings up two important issues, which are really the inference is behind the reason why the summer of trump, as trump called the end event towards of the summer, has turned into the autumn of trump. it looks like he has released a in thisstaying power race. the reason why he is at the top of the polls and continues to be there is because he is focusing in on two issues that we at breitbart covered long before mr. trump got into this presidential race. it is the issues of immigration and trade and how they affect

the economy. both are intricately linked to supply and demand, and both and thedesk workers handling of u.s. jobs and whether or not factories will open in the united states or overseas and whether there are available u.s. jobs in the united states. work force participation rate in the united states right now is about as low as it has ever been since the late 1970's. when political interests and special interest seek to use our immigration system to import more foreign workers what they are doing is they are trying to -- by doing that they are going to drive the wages down and unemployment up. it is simple supply and demand. trump understands this. his immigration plan that he released which is a pretty detailed plan -- it goes into the layers of how he is going to

handle this, even going down to -- instead of bringing in refugees, focus on inner-city youth who are especially high , back to workate instead of giving them jobs -- instead of giving jobs to foreign visa holders. the trade deals. the tbp tracheal is -- transpacific partnership is especially unpopular because they know that it will ship jobs to third world countries around the world that do not have the same standards of labor the united states has. host: this is from steve who says if a republican official resigns because of scandal you will not see and reported on the breitbart news network. guest: i disagree entirely. we have been covering republicans and their resignations as much as -- maybe more than -- we have the number -- we have been covering

democrats. we have been leading the way on covering the speakership race, john boehnerf announced resignation. we had more stories on that. we traveled to congressman mark meadow's district to do in-depth how he was working. we have had more original reporting than probably any other outlet in washington. host: our guest is matthew boyle , a political reporter for the breitbart news network. we welcome our listeners on sirius xm. c-span is also heard on c-span radio, and also carried on the bbc parliament channel when the house of commons is in session in great britain. we welcome our listeners and viewers there. bill from pennsylvania, independent line. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. a few quick comment. the caller that mentioned that

of aone has a bias political party, i agree with that. and i do think that the breitbart network leans conservative, which is a fine thing. we don't have enough conservative stations out there. as far as reporting on liberals and not mentioning the good things that come out of programs like food stamps, the problem with programs that get established like food stamps is they lack enforcement, like drug testing for people on government assistance. i need to take a drug test in order to work in my place of employment once the year, and randomly. reagan gave huge amnesty deals to illegal immigration, but he did not follow up on the wall.

he sold it as i will build a wall and we will have proper enforcement, and he didn't. that is the one thing donald trump could do good for the country, although electing donald trump i think, in the long run, could not be good for us internally. but if he gets things like the wall and jobs started, then we can recover from any of the other damage he may do. host: thank you bill. we will get a response. guest: to your point. i don't agree with probably everything the caller just said, he had a lot of excellent points. but the lack of enforcement in those food stamp programs, that is the one of the things in our coverage that we have tried to focus on. to be hyperg not partisan with our coverage of issues like this. we try to stick to the facts about the details, how long people are on these programs. are they abusing them. get fromck to that we both sides, from various , and thenrganizations

also, to your point about , yes, we are an openly conservative outlet. we are not hiding that but we are able to work with democrats. aim recently i just did made -- a major story on a congressional research service showed that the current a senator -- senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has used sale in the amendment tree more than any other majority leader in the history of congress. that tactic of course is used to cut off debate. host: guest: we conclude -- host: we conclude with this point, the pew research study on political polarization. i just want to get your response to one part of this report, saying that when it comes to getting news about politics and

government, liberals and conservatives and different worlds. there is little overlap in the new sources they turn to and trust. and whether discussing politics online or with friends, they are more likely than others to interact with like-minded individuals. guest: look. yes, that is the case. toot of liberals are going places like msnbc for their news. a lot of conservatives are coming to places like breitbart news, daily caller, fox etc., for their news. i think that both sides need to do a better job at reaching out to the other side's readers. that is one of the goals that we are trying to do. is you that you do that opinion.acts, not you report the news. if you do that you can reach more and more people. that is why we are at nearly 22 million monthly readers, 110 million page views on our

website a month. that is why we are growing at the rate we are growing because of the fact that we are providing facts and not opinions. host: what is the next big story you are working on? guest: there are about 100 big stories i am working on. just this past week i talked with several senior aides to mr. trump's campaign and so we are looking into the next steps for his presidential campaign as he kind of turns the corner from a protest candidate, in the to aning of his candidacy, serious candidate now that he is continuing to be at the top of the polls. there are a lot of people including wisconsin governor scott walker, government romney, who seem -- governor mitt romney, who seem to now be open to the possibility of trump. host: finally, if you had to bet about joe biden getting into this racetrack of guest: i think there is a wide-open race for joe biden to get in. a lot of the democratic obviously hillary

clinton won the debate earlier this week. i don't think there is much debate about whether or not she won. think there is a wide open lane for vice president biden. i would expect that he will. host: and we're getting word that second happen as early as this week. guest: and by the way, there is another example of a story. in an interview i did with mr. trump earlier this summer he actually predicted that he will face off against joe biden in the general election. on day next washington journal, michael singh. agriculturet the industry with ian glickman.
