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.

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.

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.

C (12:11)

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.
