Sometimes these MAGAs make posts that are just so shocking. I guess nothing should shock us. But I have to double, triple, quadruple check sometimes. Like did they really just post that? And the answer often, inevitably is yes. So Marjorie Taylor Greene posted posted the following. She writes, if Democrats are going to play the pardon game, then we should do the same thing. Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too. Because remember, Marjorie Taylor Greene's gotten into a few things. Now she's writing this after President Biden announced that he was pardoning Hunter Biden in connection with checking a box on a gun form in like 2018 saying he wasn't under the influence of drugs at the time, which no one's ever been charged with other than Hunter. Hunter was also charged criminally, the felony for paying his taxes late, which is usually a civil penalty for most people. But Marjorie Taylor Greene asking Donald Trump for a blanket pardon. Now, when you find yourself agreeing with MAGA extremist Laura Loomer on things, you know, you've entered the twilight zone. So Laura Loomer responds, mocking Marjorie Taylor Greene because they got beef. Laura Loomer goes just in. Marjorie Taylor Greene admit she has done something that would make her need a pardon. Come on, Laura Loomer, don't make me ever agree with you on things. Now let's remember what Marjorie Taylor Greene was doing at or around the time of the insurrection. Remember we saw her text messages at the January 6th committee hearings. Like messages like this, hey, I need to talk with you about a plan we are developing on how to vote on the electoral college votes on January 6th. I need a senator and I think this is a major help for you to win on the fifth. Talking to Kelly Lefler. And then she sends this to Kelly Lefler who, by the way, I thought was going to be the agricultural pick by Donald Trump, but wasn't. Hi, Kelly. I've organized a meeting with Trump, his legal team and members of electoral college votes for Joe Biden in several Key States on January 6th. It's tomorrow at 2. Can you come to the White House? It's an informal meeting and planning session, December 20, 2020 at 6:23pm or how about this one from Sunday, January 17, 2021. In our private chat with only members, several are saying the only way to save our republic for Trump is for Trump to call martial law. I don't know on those things. I just wanted you to tell him. She's sending this to Mark Meadow saying that Trump should declare martial law. I just wanted you to tell him they stole this election. We all know they will destroy our country next. Please tell them to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else right there. And look, I think it's important that we make these links here, right? President Yoon of South Korea, remember his declaration of martial law, which parliament quickly overruled. But President Yoon wanted to, and he did put the military in the streets, wanted to shut down the country and basically turned into a dictatorship. The permission structure to do things like that and for people with dictator leanings in the past, they wouldn't try it. But it's stuff like this that gives people a permission structure. And let me just be very clear, Midas mighty, if Donald Trump were to ever declare martial law here in the United States, let me be very clear. We will be marching to Washington D.C. immediately. We will not back down. It will not scare us. We will be there together if you want to join us, we will be there on the front lines. We will not back down, will not listen to a ridiculous fake martial law order. They can lock me up or do whatever. We will not back down. Anyway, I digress. There are so many people who are saying too well now that it's a ridiculous argument. So many bad takes about President Biden pardoning his son Hunter, which I think was the right move to make. That's just me. But I hear these bad takes saying, well, now Donald Trump can pardon the January 6th insurrectionist. Trump was going to do that anyway. He said it at all of his events. Pardoning the insurrectionists. The January 6, he called them the hostages and pardoning the hostages. Right then in Donald Trump's post about Hunter Biden being pardoned, he's like, so why don't you pardon the January 6th hostages, Joe. Okay, how is that related? You have a non violent offender and Hunter Biden who's accepted responsibility for his actions for charges that no one else has been charged with, ever in a politically motivated case that no one's been charged with by a Republican special counsel. And might I add a judge you appointed, Donald. Judge Eileen Cannon made a ruling in your case where you stole nuclear secrets. She ruled that special counsels don't even exist. So for you, special counsels don't exist, but for Hunter, they apparently do exist. And Republican special counsels can prosecute people anyway. But I digress. But here's the video. March 9, 2024. This is Marjorie Taylor Greene saying how excited she is for Donald Trump to pardon and free the January 6th insurrectionist. So notice when she uses the language Trump can just blanken pardon all of us to. She puts herself with that crew. Here, play this clip.

Say Too you mentioned January 6th. I want to thank you for being a supporter of those are imprisoned in jail because you visited them. You let them know that they have help on the outside. Because I cannot imagine not just being one of them, but also a family member of them when their hands are tied and they know that their loved ones should not be there. They did nothing wrong and you have advocated for them. So thank you for that. Thank you. Yeah, they're being still being arrested. It's an average of one a day. Something that won't change until we get President Trump back in office. So that's another reason for Georgia to get out and vote for Trump. Yes. Breathe. The January Sixers, Marjorie. So good.

Now here's Marjorie Taylor Greene back on March 4, 2024, saying that it's an outrage that the insurrectionist went to jail. Play this clip.

Let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. Hey, I gotta be honest with myself, right? It feels like I have to choose between having a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre alcohol zbiotics. Pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for your rough next day. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just Remember to make ZBiotics your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre alcohol before drinks, I notice the difference the next day. For example, after a fun night out with friends at like a local bar or wherever we go, I could still get up the next morning and hit the gym. And I'll admit I was skeptical at first, but I tried it at a dinner party with some friends the next morning. I felt great, ready to tackle the day, ready to do more videos here at the Midas Touch Network. I kept hearing about pre alcohol and wondered what it was actually like. Now that I've tried it, I get the hype. Plus, with their GMO technology, ZBiotics is continuing continuing to create probiotics that tackle the challenges of modern living. Go to ZBiotics.com Midus to learn more and get 15% off your first order. When you use code MIDUS at checkout, ZBiotics is backed with a 100% money back guarantee. So if you are unsatisfied for any reason, they'll refund your money, no questions asked. Remember to head to zbiotics.com midus and use that Code Midas. It's M E I D A S at checkout for 15% off any Republicans.

That will not waiver. Here we are. Here's a man sitting next to us that went to jail over our election integrity. This is the, this is the day we live in. Every single day, on average, there's another person arrested for January 6th. Do you know that every single day, a new person is arrested and charged with all kinds of crimes for either standing on the Capitol grounds or walking through the Capitol on January 6th? Now, going forward, the Democrats.
B
Now, do you remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene then led a delegation of Magaz who went to the D.C. jail and played like board games and sang songs with the January 6th insurrectionists? Remember when they did that? Fortunately, Democrats had Jasmine Crockett there. Jasmine Crockett is a real fighter. She speaks from the heart. Now, one of the introductions I had to Congresswoman Crockett was right here when she was when the MAGA sent a delegation to the insurrectionists. And again, corporate media was like, normalizing that. They're like, oh, well, Biden this, Biden that. But let's just not talk about how crazy it is that MAGA sent a delegation, which is usually reserved for, like, sending a delegation to our allies abroad, right? So as Donald Trump attacks our allies Canada and Mexico, they send delegations to insurrection. So ridiculous. But here's Congresswoman Crockett here. Play this clip.
E
But what was interesting was some of the things that are offered and anyone who's ever had a loved one that's been incarcerated, they understand that this is not the norm. I mean, I don't know what world Marjorie Taylor Greene and Boebert and the rest of them are living in, but even in the women's area, I've got my notes that I was reviewing art therapy, yoga, acupuncture. I mean, these are things that we can't even find. Like in my district, for my people like that aren't incarcerated, right? They have these tablets that they have access to. They're able to get on these tablets. I asked to see the tablets. I saw the tablets. There's two different types of tablets where they're given access to education. I mean, they went out of their way today to make sure that they provided us with a folder full of all the things that they are offering these January 6th inmates as well as others. They've got a barber shop. There's all kinds of stuff that I've never seen. And I've been practicing law for almost two decades.
B
So let me also then in terms of these other posts by Marjorie Taylor Greene, it's posts like this, the FBI raided Barron's bedroom, but not Hunter's bedroom. Just think about that. Cash Patel needs to dismantle the FBI and rebuild it. There are people that need to go to jail. Hunter was criminally prosecuted by a Republican special counsel. Donald Trump had his own judge dismiss the case against him, saying special counsels don't exist. Then he had the Supreme Court claim that you can't commit crimes if you're the president, which is the most ridiculous thing, literally upending our system, that no one is above the law. You've got Marjorie Taylor Greene making posts like just finally came out of the turkey coma to see all the dem hysteria and panic attacks about the great Cash Patel being FBI director. The same people want to keep Chris Wray who pulled FBI child sex investigators off tracking down pedophiles and had them track down MAGA grandmas that went into the Capitol on January 6th. Instead, cash is going to bring a sledgehammer to the FBI. Notice all their language about their cabinet picks, make them squeal, bring a sledgehammer, destroy it, burn it down, bring it all down. There's a lot of criticisms you can have about the FBI. There's a lot of criticisms you can have about the irs, the CIA, our military, the amount of money America spends on the military. But putting incompetent people to destroy systems that still are protective of people. Remember when MAGA Republicans would attack like people saying, oh, you want to abolish this? MAGA is the party of abolishing everything. Abolishing. There's something conservative about them. They want to abolish and tear everything down. And then they attack Chris Wray with this like QAnon conspiracy crap. Chris Wray's a lifelong Republican who Donald Trump picked. Chris Wray, the current FBI director, is Trump's FBI director. Trump picked the guy who's been a Republican his whole life. And then they go and say, oh, but he goes after MAGA grandmas. Chris Wray is the FBI director, is a competent person who has the respect of the FBI, unlike Cash Patel, who just sells products and peddles conspiracies.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: Episode Summary
Episode Title: WTH! Marjorie BEGS for OWN PARDON in PSCYHO POSTS
Release Date: December 5, 2024
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Podcast: The MeidasTouch Podcast
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers delve into the controversial social media posts made by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG). The discussion centers around MTG's calls for President Donald Trump to issue blanket pardons to herself and fellow January 6th insurrectionists. The hosts dissect the implications of these posts, the broader MAGA movement's influence, and the potential threats to American democracy.
Brett (Speaker B) [00:42]:
Brett initiates the conversation by addressing Marjorie Taylor Greene's alarming social media posts. He states, "if Democrats are going to play the pardon game, then we should do the same thing. Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too." This remark follows President Joe Biden's decision to pardon Hunter Biden, sparking debates over the fairness and political motivations behind such actions.
Brett continues to highlight the discrepancies in the legal consequences faced by Hunter Biden versus MTG. He points out, "Hunter was criminally prosecuted by a Republican special counsel," contrasting it with MTG's ostensibly uncharged activities related to the January 6th events.
Brett provides context on MTG's involvement in the events leading up to January 6th, revealing leaked text messages from the January 6th committee hearings. For example, he cites a message from December 20, 2020, where MTG discusses organizing a meeting with Trump and his legal team to influence the Electoral College votes. Another message from January 17, 2021, advocates for Trump to declare martial law, indicating MTG's intent to undermine the electoral process.
Brett [02:15]:
"She's sending this to Mark Meadow saying that Trump should declare martial law. I just wanted you to tell him they stole this election... There's stuff like this that gives people a permission structure."
The discussion shifts to Laura Loomer's reaction to MTG's pardon requests. Laura Loomer mocks MTG for admitting to actions that warrant a pardon, highlighting internal conflicts within the MAGA movement.
Brett [04:50]:
"When you find yourself agreeing with MAGA extremist Laura Loomer on things, you know, you've entered the twilight zone."
Brett draws parallels between MTG's suggestions and historical instances where leaders have attempted to consolidate power, citing South Korea's President Yoon's failed attempt to declare martial law.
Brett [05:45]:
"If Donald Trump were to ever declare martial law here in the United States... We will be marching to Washington D.C. immediately. We will not back down. It will not scare us."
He emphasizes the dangers of granting such power, warning against the erosion of democratic structures.
The hosts critically analyze the selective application of justice, contrasting Hunter Biden's prosecution with MTG's evasion of similar accountability. Brett highlights the biased nature of political prosecutions and the undermining of the rule of law.
Brett [06:31]:
"Cash Patel needs to dismantle the FBI and rebuild it... Chris Wray is the FBI director, is a competent person who has the respect of the FBI, unlike Cash Patel, who just sells products and peddles conspiracies."
The podcast features input from Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, who discusses the ongoing arrests related to January 6th and criticizes MTG's efforts to support the insurrectionists.
Jasmine Crockett [10:31]:
"They're being still being arrested. It's an average of one a day. Something that won't change until we get President Trump back in office."
She elaborates on the rehabilitative programs offered to inmates, contrasting them with the MAGA movement's glorification of the insurrection.
Brett further critiques federal institutions like the FBI, arguing against the portrayal of their actions as politically motivated persecutions. He defends FBI Director Chris Wray's integrity and counters MTG's and other MAGA affiliates' attacks on federal authorities.
Brett [11:35]:
"Chris Wray's the current FBI director, is Trump's FBI director. Trump picked the guy who's been a Republican his whole life. And then they go and say, oh, but he goes after MAGA grandmas."
He warns against the dangers of dismantling critical federal agencies and the rise of conspiracy theories undermining their legitimacy.
The Meiselas brothers conclude the episode by reinforcing the importance of upholding democratic principles and resisting the erosion of institutional integrity. They call for vigilance against MAGA extremism and emphasize the need for transparent and fair legal processes.
Brett [13:50]:
"Remember when MAGA Republicans would attack like people saying, oh, you want to abolish this? MAGA is the party of abolishing everything. Abolishing. There's something conservative about them. They want to abolish and tear everything down."
Marjorie Taylor Greene's Calls for Pardons: MTG's social media posts advocating for blanket pardons reflect a troubling desire to circumvent the legal repercussions of the January 6th insurrection.
Double Standards in Political Prosecutions: The episode highlights perceived inconsistencies in how political figures are prosecuted, using Hunter Biden and MTG as primary examples.
Threats to Democratic Institutions: Discussions emphasize the potential dangers of empowering leaders to declare martial law and the importance of maintaining the integrity of federal institutions like the FBI.
MAGA Movement's Internal Conflicts: The interactions between MTG and Laura Loomer illustrate fractures within the MAGA faction, raising questions about the movement's cohesiveness and long-term impact.
Brett [00:42]:
"if Democrats are going to play the pardon game, then we should do the same thing. Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too."
Brett [05:45]:
"If Donald Trump were to ever declare martial law here in the United States... We will be marching to Washington D.C. immediately."
Jasmine Crockett [10:31]:
"They're being still being arrested. It's an average of one a day. Something that won't change until we get President Trump back in office."
Brett [11:35]:
"Chris Wray's the current FBI director, is Trump's FBI director... And then they go and say, oh, but he goes after MAGA grandmas."
This episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast provides a critical examination of Marjorie Taylor Greene's controversial actions and statements surrounding the January 6th insurrection. Through detailed analysis and insightful commentary, the Meiselas brothers shed light on the broader implications for American democracy and the ongoing struggles within the MAGA movement.
