One of the biggest breaks in the MAGA movement over the last year has been Marjorie Taylor Greene's break from Donald Trump. So according to Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of the catalysts was the death of Charlie Kirk and her Christian values. And she says that when Erica Kirk forgave Charlie Kirk's murder and Trump said, I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for him, it just shows where his heart is. And that's the difference with her. And having a sincere Christian faith that proves that he does not have any faith. Which going after Trump for not being a Christian, I mean, 2 Corinthians, that says it all. But so when you look at this, she falls back immediately to the MAGA faithful of, well, my Christian faith doesn't let me do that. And so in this whole rebrand for Marjorie Taylor Greene, is it opportunity? Is she an opportunist or is she legitimately changing? What, what are your thoughts from looking at it?

I think she's for sure an opportunist, and I think that she's evolving as a means of survival for her political career. And I've been flagging this for a long time with her. I think she has higher ambitions, higher than even the Senate. I think she's going to run for president. My question to her, and she's done quite a media blitz lately, is you're a true Christian. She says, true, true Christian. Were you a true Christian when you were brow beating David Hogg, who was a Parkland survivor, saw his kids get, his friends get murdered at high school. Are you a true Christian? When you demean LGBTQ plus people and marginalized trans people, is that true Christianity? So my question to a lot of Christians is, what is true Christianity? Because you always hear this, you hear this thing in the MAGA movement, what real America, you hear the same thing in Christianity. Well, we're real Christians and they're not real Christians. And so my question is, is when does she cherry pick her Christianity? Because most of the Christians I know in Oklahoma certainly do. They cherry pick their Christianity when it provides a permission structure for them to be how they want to be. And Marjorie Taylor Greene has a history of bigotry that is, is objectively true. She has a history of anti Semitism. She has a history of homophobia, she has a history of transphobia, she attacks her colleagues. She claims that she cares so much about women and the MAGA movement doesn't support women, which I don't know why it takes nine years to figure that out. But I do know that for a lot of people that are indoctrinated in this form of Christian that she's in and they went all chips in on this Epstein thing, and I, I do think that there is a tinge of sincerity for her regarding some of the Epstein victims. But all in all, I see her as a cherry picker, an opportunist, and Marjorie first before everything else. And right now, she has surprised me at her political savviness because she understands that Kanks is, you know, the curtains are closing on him. And in order for her to have a career beyond that, all of her mantras are embedded in the Bag MAGA movement. Well, being Israel first sure isn't America first. She's still leaning into all this, all of this MAGA stuff. She's savily pointing out that Trump is the one that lost his way in all of that. And now she's here to usher in all of the MAGA faithful still the people who were qanonors and all of this stuff.

B
Yeah, that's a great point. That Trump's the one that strayed, not her. In looking at this with her, when you say the bigotry raised indoctrinated. As a Christian, I was guilty of that because being black didn't apply to me. Being gay didn't apply to me. Those things didn't apply to me. So when I got through the deconstruction and started looking at my life and my choices, I realized that I am no better than anyone else and I have to take on other people's fight whether they directly affect me or not. And that is part of my frustration with all of all of the Christians in my life is that they can only feel something or stand for something, and when it affects them personally or affects someone they love personally, that's a, that's a personal frustration for me. And I used to be like that. So let's look at Marjorie Taylor Greene in this article. While she does break from Trump, she still has on her office placard outside her office. There are two genders, male and female. And I get so tired of this. I get so tired of people picking on the most marginalized people. She goes on and on about what a true Christian is. A true Christian would lift these people up and say I need to protect them because other people are being ugly to them and they're marginalizing them. So for me, that shows that she is what you alluded to. She's a bigot and she's a cherry picker. And that's so frustrating to me because she does seem to have galvanized the whole news cycle and the, the maga, you know, voice, if you will, with all of this stuff, just because she's breaking from Trump. So I find that interesting. But one thing that I'm surprised she didn't catch on to earlier is how Trump does not give a fuck about anybody but himself. And his words don't have consequences unless they affect him. So she says in this article that she texted Trump that she was getting death threats after he called her a traitor and that hit was threatened. Her son was threatened that his life will be snuffed out soon. Better watch his back. So she sends that text to Trump and his response basically was never to mention her son. And then Trump responded that she had only herself to blame. And that's a, that's something that she should have pegged a long time ago, in my opinion. He's never been shy about that.

C
Yeah, I think that for a lot of people, and this is something I'm probably going to get some pushback from, but I think there is a strategy for Marjorie Taylor Greene that she is somehow offering an off ramp for the MAGA faithful from the inside the Death Star to still being maga, but somehow offering a excuse structure and a permission structure. I was naive. I, oh, I can't do this, Stephanie more because of my Christian faith, she's sending these signals to keep the base galvanized and solidified, because I think there are a lot of people right now that were really into all of this. Marjorie Taylor Greene didn't notice that Trump was a dick because he hated all the same people that she hated. And now he started hating on her and didn't support her for Senate, and she got upset about that. You have to remember, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a lot savvier than we thought. She's made like tens of millions of dollars, insider training, insider trading in Congress. And so she, her evolutionary skills are far more advanced than I estimated when she first came on the scene. And I think she hangs out with Steve Bannon a lot, who is a political strategist who is very die hard America first oligarchy. I won't even get into all of his with Epstein. I mean, he's a really weird guy, but he is pretty savvy with political strategy. And I think that. And it pisses me off because the Republican Party, even somebody that we thought was as dumb as Marjorie Taylor Greene can play this type of long term game of what does this movement look like? This guy's a lame duck, he's a million years old, he has dementia, he's all over the Epstein files. She's playing a long term game here. And so my question is, Republicans have always kind of done this. What are the Democrats doing right now? Because Marjorie Taylor Greene, like, she's a politician, she's showing her political savviness right now. And there are tens of millions of Trump voters out there that are kind of like, oh, he didn't bring down inflation, it's worse. Oh my God, he's kissing the ass of all these billionaires. I thought he wasn't bought and paid for. They're kind of without a home a little bit. And she's offering them a home and she's offering them an off ramp. And are the Democrats, where are they with this now? I don't know if we should focus on trying to get these people right. I think an economic populist message is the way to do it, period. But I mean, you know, her stuff about there are two genders and all that. That is a, that is a winning strategy in maga. Mean trans people. And a lot of mainstream voters sadly are on board with this. And that's how marginalized these trans people are. You may remember that, you know, my son wanted to go to a particular high school. He since graduated, but I would have had to have signed an anti trans document. And I looked at you and I said, there's no way I'm ever signing that. I'm not doing that. I'm not going to be a part of this system that does that. But a lot of people are like their whole identity is somehow like. I look at comments on Instagram and it's like, tell me what a woman is. Define a woman. And it's just like, you know, people do not in rural America wake up and think, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to fuck with my family, I'm going to fuck with my church and everybody in this town and pretend like I want to be a different gender. That's what they think it is. What it is is something so much more complicated. And it, that trans community has such high suicide rates. And so the fact that she's still using that type of oppression in bigotry for political Gain tells me a lot of the manipulation in that New York Times article is just her evolutionary skills, survival of the fittest. She's trying to survive in this MAGA cult. And she's offering a lot of these people an off ramp and still serving up bigotry at the same time while acting like she's an atoned Christian.

B
Right. She's wrapping it up in all the trips. Transgender, hate, Christianity, I'm a good Christian, all of that. I completely agree with that. Okay, and the. But the one thing in the article that I did actually agree with is her comments on Moses Mike Johnson. Here we go. This, I thought was so funny. Speaker Mike Johnson seemed to have no say in Trump's agenda. I want you to know that Johnson is not our speaker, she told the reporter in December. He is not our leader. And in legislative branches, a totally separate body of government. He is literally 100% under direct orders from the White House. And many, many Republicans are so furious about that. But they are cowards that I agreed with wholeheartedly.
- [12:11]
C
Well, 100%. And this is just another example is where she's outflanking Democrats on messaging. You know, like, that is a layup we talk about. I mean, Moses Mike Johnson is he just, he, he gives pip s. I, I don't have a thought of my own at all. They go this thing. Remember we covered that episode where he went on with his wife on Katie Miller's podcast and the wife had to sit there in her very infantilized voice. You know, men just are able to compartmentalize. Like, you know, Mike compartmentalizes. Everything in a woman's brain is like spaghetti and be like, yeah, Moses Mike for sure can compartmentalize. Because when he is watching porn, sis, whenever that you. He happens to mount you when rubber hits the road, he's not thinking about you. He's thinking about a rock hard penis. All right, so his compartmentalization skills are 12 out of 10. I 100% agree. And if I was married to a closeted, bigoted gay man, I would say the same shit on Katie Miller's white nationalist podcast. But that to me is such a layup argument. And the Democrats should be. Everybody in the country should know who Hakeem Jeffries is and who Chuck Schumer is. And they should be pounding, what an impotent, neutered closet case, man. Christian hypocrite. Moses Mike Grinder Johnson is the story that he lives with this evangelical preacher in D.C. and they answer the door with each other in their panties. The Democrats should have blown that shit up. They should have blown that shit up. But I don't. We just don't. We play two different games. We're just going to let that go. The Democrats have let the Bubba blow job go. I don't know why. Get your hands dirty. These guys are the biggest dorks. They're DL demon queens. They're hypocrites. They use their faith. This is a layup and it just Marjorie Taylor Greene. She's an opportunist. She is a manipulator, but she is politically savvy and it pisses me off.
