Jack Posobiec and Vish Burra recapped Sunday night’s NYYRC Gala, and dipped into the controversy over the so-called “Barbarian” Right and the right that came before. “If you want to call me Barbarian Right,” Burra said, “I don’t care. That’s the point of me being part of this Barbarian Right. I am here to do the hard work for the country that I love. I don’t care how that picture ends up looking as the long as the picture looks good for all of us, for all of us Americans.”
“I do want to lean in a little bit on it,” Posobiec said, “because you know something, the reason that the Barbarian Right is just a little bit different— Joni Ernst found out about that last week— and President Trump came out, and I’m not gonna say he came out swingin’, but he came out telling some hard facts.” Posobiec brought up Trump’s press conference from Mar-a-Lago on Monday, in which he announced that Japanese company Softbank would be investing $100 billion into the US and creating some 100,000 jobs for Americans.
In that conference, Trump took questions from reporters and he was asked how he would handle Republican Senators who refused to back his nominations through the confirmation process. “What did he say when they asked him if the Senators that don’t vote for the nominees will be primaried, he said ‘Yeah, I think that’s gonna happen if they’re being unreasonable.’ I love that line Vish, ‘if they’re being unreasonable,’ then there’s going to be problems, and he just lays it out so beautifully,” Posobiec said. “And that’s the difference. The difference between the Barbarian Right, the new right, and whatever it was, the squish right, the old right, the dinosaur right that came before, is we don’t take this lying down. We’re gonna fight for Pete Hegseth, we’re gonna fight for Tulsi Gabbard, we’re gonna fight for Monica Crowley, and Russ Vought, and all the other nominees, and of course Kash Patel and RFK.”
He said it wasn’t about disagreeing or agreeing with one tenet or ideological position, but about having the mandate and these being the nominees who Trump has selected to fulfill the mandate he was given from the American public. He said “the biggest difference between the Barbarian Right and the old right” is their willingness to fight, to not allow narrative to take down the mission, and to stand up, bravely and courageously, to get the job done.
“That’s exactly right, Jack,” Burra said, referencing Steve Bannon’s speech from the gala. Bannon said the current conservative movement is “a movement from the streets,” where people will get out there and get the job done with their “bare hands, if we have to. This is what separates, if you even want to call it the old right, they were called neo-cons in the first place, they were the new ones on the block, in the 90s, the John McCains of the world, the Mitt Romneys the Paul Ryans, the Chris Christies, you know it, you know all the clowns… but those people weren’t willing to go as far as us. They didn’t want it as bad as we wanted it. That is the difference maker.”
