In this episode, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-GA) joins us to talk about censorship in politics and why it s time to take a deep dive into what s happening in Washington, D.C.
00:01:40.000And my background is commercial construction.
00:01:44.000And then I decided to run for Congress because I don't like what's happening in Washington, D.C.
00:01:50.000Well, it is an honor and a privilege to have you here discussing everything that's going on today and giving your insight onto the inner workings of... Some of the stuff you were telling us before the show, which we're going to get into, would make the average American's jaw drop.
00:03:09.000My name's Luke Hradowski of WeAreChange.org, riding shotgun here.
00:03:13.000And I think the shirt I'm wearing is also very appropriate for today's guest, which says, if you trust the government, you don't know history.
00:03:21.000And if you want this shirt, you could get it on thebestpoliticalshirts.com.
00:03:38.000I think that tonight's conversation is going to be awesome.
00:03:40.000Marjorie Taylor Greene's people reached out to me because they wanted to bring her onto the show, and we're going to talk about this ridiculous censorship that's been happening to her, and I'm stoked.
00:04:01.000Help support our work, and as a member, you'll get access to exclusive members-only segments of the TimCastIRL podcast.
00:04:08.000We are going to have, around 11pm, we will upload a members-only segment, the uncensored, unfiltered conversation with Marjorie Taylor Greene, because as you know, we try our best, but YouTube absolutely has insane rules, and as we're getting into the 2022 cycle, you know they're gonna be ban-happy.
00:05:32.000You know, I'm an elected member of Congress, which means the people elected me for my district.
00:05:38.000Over 700,000 people are in my district, and I'm there to represent their voice, their values, and what they want out of their representative in Congress.
00:05:48.000And Twitter, being a private company, I don't know why they have decided That they can be the judge of information and misinformation, but that's who they have become.
00:06:00.000I mean, that's what we see on most social media platforms, YouTube also, Facebook, many of them.
00:06:08.000And over time, over the past years, we've seen conservatives be kicked off, right?
00:06:12.000This has been a major issue, and it's an extremely important issue for many Americans.
00:06:18.000So on Twitter, this was my personal account.
00:07:22.000I didn't take my kids to the doctor to get a strep test unless they really had symptoms like a fever, sore throat and things like that.
00:07:30.000So I was saying before COVID, this is how we lived.
00:07:31.000And then after COVID, now we we get tested all the time.
00:07:35.000for for COVID and so I went through every tweet had that but involved in each of these tweets I put information that that I had found in research like information off of VAERS which is cdc.gov controls that that's the the it's a site where people can it's self-reporting they can report if they've had a vaccine injury any kind of vaccine not just COVID any kind of vaccine Or even a death.
00:08:03.000Family members or a doctor can report a death from any kind of vaccine.
00:08:08.000So I had talked about the VAERS system, which is bothersome to me.
00:08:14.000There's no investigation into the deaths that have been reported on VAERS.
00:08:20.000And as a member of Congress, I think it's extremely important.
00:08:23.000So I had this long tweet thread, but then the next day I tweeted a few more things.
00:08:30.000I had retweeted someone's tweet from a person that was celebrating and memorializing the terrorist Soleimani that was killed when President Trump was our president.
00:08:44.000This was a terrible terrorist that had attributed and caused the death of military members and the loss of limbs when they were over there, and it's awful.
00:08:54.000And this person was just celebrating him and his life and angry at President Trump.
00:09:48.000And I know for a fact that Republicans and conservatives and I would even argue many Americans would be against the use of FEMA to just continue test and test and test for COVID.
00:09:58.000Because we should be more concerned about how to treat COVID.
00:10:02.000These are just my opinions, not that I'm giving medical advice, but just my opinions.
00:10:07.000And so I had tweeted at Dan Crenshaw and I had said, no, we don't need to use FEMA to do more COVID testing for sneezes, coughs, and runny noses.
00:10:18.000And I said, and we don't need to send FEMA into hospitals.
00:10:21.000We need to rehire the unvaccinated healthcare workers that were fired.
00:11:35.000For those that aren't familiar, a huge breaking story about Hunter Biden, the son of the president, and just malfeasance, we'll put it that way.
00:11:43.000The story gets suppressed on Facebook and Twitter.
00:11:46.000And there are polls showing that if people had known about the corruption, then a decent amount of people would not have voted for Joe Biden.
00:14:05.000That's who Paul Singer is of Elliott Management.
00:14:08.000And him coming on to Twitter, He bought a lot of the shares, he became a major shareholder, and then him coming on board, he was able to kick Jack Dorsey out of his own company.
00:14:20.000I think that's significant, and then this is a guy that donates a lot of money to politicians, and he's not a fan of mine, and he's also not a fan of former President Donald J. Trump.
00:15:45.000So we're not having real political discourse in this country when the common spaces that we use, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc., are in the control of one political faction.
00:16:00.000It's crazy to me because I grew up liberal, and we were always complaining about big corporations suppressing the commons and hurting the little guy in the working class.
00:16:39.000And corporate communism is something I just made up because it made sense to me.
00:16:44.000It's these large corporations controlling and usually they're affiliated with the government.
00:16:49.000So take, for example, you've got a mega donor, a Republican mega donor on Twitter that hates me and likes other types of Republicans that are different than me.
00:16:59.000And so wouldn't he play a part in getting me kicked off?
00:17:18.000Most of us care about... We can find so much in common together by being able to have these discussions on these platforms, then we can really find a part from one another.
00:17:29.000And that's why I think censorship is so wrong.
00:17:31.000Well, I think the biggest problem with it is we've gone through a bunch of different forms of data showing people who are on the left in America, whatever that means, like the general term, only get their news from left-wing sources.
00:17:44.000And people who are centrist or right-wing get their news from a mixture of sources.
00:17:50.000So when you have people on the left and the only thing they've ever heard about you comes from the New York Times or the Atlantic or something, they think the worst, craziest things imaginable.
00:18:24.000It's what other people have gone and written about me.
00:18:27.000Nothing that I've ever written about myself or even that I've cared to make sure is factual and I've left it there for a reason because I want to be able to prove to people that look, Wikipedia is someone else's words.
00:18:39.000It's just like a fake news article written about me or someone else.
00:18:43.000And that's the craziest thing to me is how... Well, I've talked to James O'Keefe.
00:18:48.000Wikipedia, in these articles, it says, from Wikipedia.
00:19:02.000And here's the thing about Wikipedia is, let's say that I wanted to fight it.
00:19:07.000I could have one of my staff go on there every single day and fix it and correct the misinformation.
00:19:14.000Someone else can go on there and change it again.
00:19:18.000So yeah, with Wikipedia putting their name on it, they are the ones liable for the lies and slander, libel and slander about people.
00:19:26.000So let's take this opportunity, as all of us here on the show, we have dealt with the issues of censorship, de-ranking.
00:19:36.000It's not just that they'll ban you, it's that you'll get demonetized, they will make it harder for people to find your content, and we have an opportunity now to have a discussion with a sitting member of Congress who has also experienced this.
00:19:48.000I mean, I don't know if you have the power in Congress to make something happen or if there's a legal pathway towards ensuring people have access to different platforms.
00:19:59.000Many on the left have jokingly, or not even necessarily jokingly, but said, ha ha, you want to nationalize private businesses or whatever.
00:20:07.000Some people on the right say, why should the government intervene in a private corporation that wants to make its own decisions?
00:20:12.000My view has always been more, you know, I guess American liberal.
00:20:16.000If a big corporation takes over a common space, then there's got to be some regulation.
00:20:20.000But I'm wondering, you know, what could we do?
00:20:27.000I think you're bringing up a great topic and it needs to be discussed and as a member of Congress I definitely want to hear what you've been through trying to run a business on social media.
00:20:38.000This is where you earn your income and it's valuable not only for you but for the people that sign up and are your members and want to hear what you have to say in the content and they want to contribute by their comments.
00:21:03.000My family had a commercial construction company.
00:21:05.000I bought that business from my parents when I got out of college so that my parents could retire, and my husband and I have run it together for over 20 years.
00:21:14.000So as a business owner, I know what it's like to deal with government regulations.
00:21:59.000If we're entering this new metaverse world that Mark Zuckerberg wants, and they expect us to earn a living remotely, earn a living online, then there should be regulations very similar to eviction laws.
00:22:14.000I've always been sort of on the smaller government side, but kind of in the middle.
00:22:18.000I got no problem with regulating massive, multinational, billion-dollar corporations with Saudi investment that want to take away my ability to speak.
00:22:28.000There should be eviction laws if you want to remove someone from the platform.
00:22:32.000Well, look, if you're a building owner and one of your tenants commits a very serious crime, yeah, the police are going to take him out of that building.
00:24:04.000But then, you know, going back to what you're talking about, yes, there should be real, they would say the user agreement, that's what they would say is what binds everyone on Twitter and other social media platforms.
00:24:17.000But in reality, I think there needs to be more than that.
00:24:20.000And honestly, when it comes to Censoring political speech.
00:24:26.000You can't sit here and you know how they'll put people in Twitter jail and they'll cite German law.
00:26:55.000So for everybody watching, if you don't know, I have been the most attacked member of Congress probably in history.
00:27:03.000I got kicked off of all of my committees on February 4th of this past year.
00:27:08.000So, being a committee-less freshman member of Congress, the lobbyists haven't been too interested in me, and that's okay because I don't take their money anyways.
00:27:17.000Yeah, but the big tech lobby is very big.
00:27:20.000They do, and they really want to talk to members of Congress because we make laws, and we also have oversight.
00:27:26.000We have oversight committee, we investigate issues, we question.
00:27:30.000I mean, you've seen, people have seen Mark Zuckerberg there.
00:27:33.000They've seen Jack Dorsey there question and question on these issues.
00:27:37.000So, yes, they pay a lot of money to lobbying firms because they want... So, it's like sales, okay?
00:27:44.000So, in sales, if you're in corporate sales or you're selling widgets for whatever your business are, you want to go in and you want to talk to people about, here's what I'm selling, here's my product, you know, you're going to love it.
00:29:38.000But here's most, but to understand this, most members of Congress rely on those big checks.
00:29:44.000from lobbyists or PACs or big donors, and they spend time calling and calling and calling, asking for their support, talking to them, because it's important.
00:29:57.000And if it was, what action would you take as a member of Congress?
00:30:01.000If you could pass a law right now regulating this Internet landscape, what kind of provisions would you put forward?
00:30:07.000So, again, I'm a small government person, so I'm one of those people that's gonna say, like, hey, like, if we go eat and we're at this restaurant, and say me and you eat there every Wednesday night, and I always order the cheeseburger, and you order, like, the chili dog, but that'd probably upset your stomach, so I'd be like, dude, don't order that.
00:30:31.000Okay, so we go there every Wednesday night, but every single time we're disappointed because the service really sucks, they treat us bad, the food is terrible, and then by the end of the meal we're talking about like, why do we keep coming here?
00:30:45.000That is what it's like on these social media platforms that treat us terrible and don't allow us to really have free speech like we're having right now, even though we're still limiting what we could say.
00:31:40.000I can respect- But let's also say maybe it had to do with the staff, because I can tell you now, People think that people like President Trump or people like me or someone else that people like in politics, they think that we have all day long and we control all of it.
00:32:19.000And when I saw Republicans fail when we had a Republican president in the White House, Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a Republican-controlled Senate, that was from in 27 and 2018, and they didn't repeal Obamacare.
00:33:07.000As a mom, it's so sad to me that women are sold a lie that they have to have an abortion in order to have a professional career or to have value in any way.
00:33:18.000I think motherhood's the greatest way to have value.
00:34:02.000They'll put Twitter and Facebook out of business.
00:34:06.000This big tech lobby, and the media collusion, and they're all working to support the Democratic establishment, and to a certain extent, the Republican establishment, too.
00:34:47.000We had to work harder than anyone to build our company to a place where we were like, yeah, we're landing these contracts over and over because we built a good reputation.
00:34:55.000We built the relationships and we're able to do it.
00:34:59.000This is what this is what Gab and Getter and and Telegram and these other companies are up against.
00:35:17.000This is why I call it corporate communism.
00:35:19.000I know it's a weird idea and people aren't used to it but communism is control.
00:35:23.000It's control through government and big corporations together and they and they become this
00:35:28.000really small elite at the top and everyone else is these little fish down at the bottom. They
00:35:33.000can never rise to the level because the media, what did they do? They totally trashed Parler,
00:35:39.000they totally trashed Gab and tore them down and I think they said that was like, oh it's a
00:35:44.000platform for white supremacist or something like that. I agree with you a lot.
00:35:50.000I think it's a cultural change that needs to happen.
00:35:53.000I think if Trump was just in the middle of his first term, said, I'm going to go on Gab or Mines or something, then it would have forced the media to do it.
00:36:02.000That would have just put a stake right through the heart of these vampiric entities.
00:36:07.000And so perhaps it's just going to be we have to build up confidence in these other platforms ourselves no matter how hard it's going to be.
00:36:13.000The problem is if you have a platform, it can ban you at any time.
00:36:19.000And for the government to say you can't seems fascist.
00:36:21.000So I like that they're allowed to do whatever they want.
00:36:23.000But I think I have an idea that we can toss around Congress.
00:36:26.000If we can force free software code for social networks that are super large, basically functioning as part of the commons, so that other people have access to the software code and can start their own website with that, basically that same technology is awesome with like the analytics and the messaging and all that, and build their own terms of service on their version, you can have the networks... So he's the communist?
00:36:48.000I was going to say, you guys believe in limited government?
00:36:53.000But we also have to admit the fact that the government was involved in building up a big tech, whether it's QIntel, whether it's helping them build infrastructure, whether it's Google Maps.
00:37:02.000I say for me personally, there is action to take.
00:37:14.000And I think if we just cut off government from the private sector, I think that would be the most important thing that we could do because there is collusion, there are a lot of lobbyists, and they're literally, I think, working with intelligence agencies in such a cohesive way that there's no separating them from the state and private entities.
00:37:31.000It's nothing different for me from my perspective.
00:37:32.000Ooh, this is my new buddy for dinner on Wednesday nights.
00:37:48.000But they've just taken away... Twitter is one of the biggest social platforms in the world.
00:37:55.000When they say, oh, make your own Twitter, that's like saying there's one major football stadium of people where everyone talks, and they're going to tell you to go to a high school football field.
00:38:09.000Do you have any plans to go after Twitter for unfair election practices or election interferences or unfair practices as it pertains to giving your opponents access to this network and taking it away from you?
00:38:20.000Well, I'm going to say this because I'm still talking with my attorneys.
00:39:19.000I mean, if you feel that the government can't solve this problem, is filing a lawsuit to challenge a private company's decision to remove you the right path?
00:39:29.000No, I definitely think I'm a big believer.
00:39:47.000And this is one of the reasons why I have really gotten involved with the pretrial January 6th defendants.
00:39:54.000Not in their cases, because I'm very much against the riot on January 6th, but I've been very concerned about how they've been treated pre-trial, because I believe in due process, but I believe in the ability to take a case to court and to say, here's where I've been wronged, and to be able to defend myself and have necessary action taken.
00:40:39.000It's also a large swap of other doctors that are getting hit, that are getting censored all over the place, whether it's Instagram, whether it's YouTube, whether it's Twitter.
00:40:47.000Slowly but surely, they're boiling the frog here and trying to take away any kind of dissenting voices, creating more establishment echo chambers and creating a situation where even just looking in the wrong direction or burping in the wrong direction will get you Kicked out of normal society.
00:41:03.000I think this is all done in collusion with the 2030 vision, the kind of social credit score, and these individuals are working hand-in-hand with government, and I think, I agree with you, the private kind of solution is needed there more than ever, but I think the word needs to get out there, but how can the word get out there when it's being censored and controlled on the information highways by the people who built it?
00:41:25.000So that's that's such an interesting paradox that's very difficult.
00:42:35.000I mean, even in that capacity, I mean, there's still another year basically of you in Congress doing work, and you're going to be affecting federal laws The people of every, every state, of every city, every citizen of this country, they need to know what you think and why you think it.
00:42:50.000And Twitter decided to strip that away from you.
00:42:53.000That I think is, you want to talk about lawsuits, you want to talk about personal ethics or fairness, all of that aside, Twitter is harming the United States by doing this.
00:43:07.000It's not only an attack on our government, it's an attack on over 700,000 people that live in Georgia's 14th district that I'm supposed to represent.
00:43:16.000Twitter is acting as an enemy, a complete enemy.
00:43:20.000To our American system, everything the way it's set up.
00:43:48.000Did you see the, it gets brought up a lot because I guess it was, you know, people liked it, they enjoyed it, when I was on Joe Rogan's podcast with Jack Dorsey.
00:44:19.000I said, if you keep doing this, this country is going to get ripped apart.
00:44:22.000And look, look where, look where we've got, where we've gone with, you know, people being shot in the streets with, with the January 6th, with just people in this country are ready, are ready to explode.
00:44:31.000Which is so sad because we really shouldn't be.
00:44:35.000I'm a big believer there's only two genders and I don't mean to offend anybody.
00:44:39.000If some guy wants to run around in a dress and he wants to call himself a woman, that's his thing.
00:44:44.000But I'm not going to call him a woman because I think he's a man.
00:44:47.000And I don't think you should be kicked off of Twitter just because you think there's only two genders and you're kind of going along with what the chromosomes say with gender and sex.
00:44:57.000You can't just force one worldview or one type of culture or anything.
00:45:02.000That's like saying, oh, you're only allowed to be on this platform if you're a Christian.
00:45:06.000Well, can you imagine the outrage over that?
00:45:08.000This is exactly why I've always had a problem with it.
00:45:11.000When we had a follow on the show, I said, the problem I take with critical race theory praxis in schools, like actually indoctrinating kids, is I would take issue with public schools teaching, telling a kid to, you know, pray the Hail Mary five times or whatever.
00:45:24.000If a public school says, we want you to do this religious practice, I'd be like, hey, you can go to your, you know, private religious practice for this.
00:45:31.000Critical race theory, this left worldview, is a religion.
00:45:35.000So I take issue with any kind of indoctrination.
00:45:38.000My view is, teach the kids, let them learn, let them develop and think for themselves, teach them how to think critically, teach them history, teach them real history.
00:45:46.000Let them figure it out, you know, give them guidance.
00:45:49.000But instead what we get are people who simultaneously claim that You know what, I'll just be reiterating your point.
00:45:56.000For Twitter to say you have to agree with our worldview would be like if Twitter was a Christian company that made leftists agree with the teachings of the Bible or they'd be banned.
00:46:42.000What if people are wanting to post their videos and they're not going to allow it?
00:46:46.000I also believe there's an element of it that is something that is snobby elites thinking that they could control what you could listen to.
00:46:54.000And I think that's one of the most patronizing.
00:46:56.000That's one of the lowest level kind of thinking individuals that you could have with this larger idea that you yourself Don't have any discernment you don't have any personal responsibility you need to be told what you can and cannot listen to that idea is absolutely absurd it's criminal and and and the fact that individuals control what you could see that when they control the algorithms they control people's perceptions they control our views of the world and when you control that you could control almost everything and that's why.
00:47:24.000And the intelligence agencies have been so involved with big tech, and that's why I think there's even a bigger play here that, of course, is snobby, is very elitist, but it's essentially leading to the divide-and-conquer agenda and trying to control individuals by controlling thoughts.
00:48:12.000But when you have those ideas, like these globalist ideas, that are preached and taught on the World Economic Forum, that really concerns me because they're very integrated in the people that run Twitter.
00:48:40.000I don't know exactly what this young global leaders thing means, but it does show that Daniel Crenshaw was named as, in some way, associated with the World Economic Forum, which, as most people are familiar with, has been a proponent of the Great Reset, a restructuring of global capitalism.
00:48:56.000They're the ones who put out the video that said, you will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:49:00.000So I'd be curious to know what this means.
00:49:04.000It was an article that they actually got rid of.
00:49:07.000Tulsi Gabbard was also a member of this kind of think tank group, and one of their chief technology experts, their technology pioneer of the World Economic Forum is Isabel S. Maxwell, Galene Maxwell's sister.
00:49:21.000So there's a lot of people interconnected with this.
00:49:24.000Some people call us this kind of larger octopus with tentacles all over kind of our modern society, especially when it comes to politics.
00:49:30.000But a lot of these organizations, of course, openly talk about what they want, and they've been talking about having people eat bugs.
00:49:37.000Having people living in pods, having people promoting the metaverse, having no privacy, having no freedom, not owning anything, and allegedly being happier than ever.
00:49:45.000These are their own protocols that they're pushing out there, saying we need to limit people's travel, we need to control their aspects, we need to have a social credit score.
00:49:52.000It's all out there in their own documents, so we could read it and understand it.
00:49:55.000How do you understand it, because that's my perspective?
00:49:57.000Let me just ask more specifically, would you support us living in pods and eating bugs?
00:51:00.000Because of globalism because of all of these these decades of failed policies that have come from our government from Republicans and Democrats.
00:51:09.000I'm not going to I'm not going to attack one party.
00:51:11.000It's been both of them that have sold out American companies and these American companies have had to had their goods made their blue jeans made in other countries like India.
00:51:53.000In small towns in rural America all across the country, small mom-and-pop businesses have been put out of business by big box stores like Walmart or Dollar Generals and different huge companies like this.
00:52:08.000These people that work at this factory and this factory that makes its living on producing, say, blue jeans, for example, they can't compete.
00:52:17.000They can't sell their blue jeans in Walmart.
00:52:19.000But yet that's where all their employees and families have to shop and buy food.
00:52:45.000When there's people in a town and they work their tail off all day long, they have kids, they have families, and they can't sell their own goods in the store because this store says, no, no, no, no, you're $2 too high.
00:53:00.000Our person that we buy from over here in India, they're giving it to us for cheaper.
00:53:28.000Over the decades when our factories and small town, I mean we're talking about steel mills, we can spread it across every industry.
00:53:36.000Over the decades, when these small towns have slowly crumbled because these factories, they cannot compete because of what's being produced in China or India or wherever.
00:54:09.000There has been a destruction in so many different levels from us selling out our own companies and not having policies in place that support our companies and help our companies compete, but instead helping globalism.
00:54:24.000And this is why I can't stand the ideas on the World Economic Forum.
00:54:28.000Trump was trying to, you know, the media talked about Trump's trade wars.
00:54:34.000There was the famous line Michael Moore brought up where Trump said, if you make your car in China or Mexico, we're going to put a 30% tariff on it.
00:54:56.000The EPA has tons of regulations, especially if you're a company that has to use chemicals when you produce your company, like the carpet industry or flooring industry.
00:55:22.000And China doesn't have to deal with it.
00:55:24.000China never has to deal with any of these kind of regulations.
00:55:27.000And I believe the American people had the rug pulled out in front of them when Rockefeller and Kissinger went to China and opened up China to the world in exchange for, of course, slave labor and getting rid of all the manufacturing jobs in the United States.
00:55:39.000So why is our own American leaders in government helping China?
00:56:55.000In the Build Back Better plan and the Democrats' plan, they want us, all Americans, Mr. and Mrs. American and everybody, and you're not even driving yet, kids at home, they want by 2035 every single car in the United States to be an electric vehicle.
00:57:43.000Oh yeah, the Federal Reserve sold out America and now it's a subsidiary of the Swiss Bank of International Settlements and they're just using this government and putting our economy to death.
00:57:52.000Are you familiar with Thucydides' trap?
00:57:55.000It gets brought up on this show pretty regularly, but what it means is when a rising economic power is about to supplant the dominant power, typically war will break out.
00:58:07.000So throughout history, what world leaders have tried to do is bribe the opposing power to just give up.
00:58:14.000So it's basically the way I see it is, to avoid war, World War III, you've got special interests just saying, let's sell out America to China, and then there's no war.
00:58:25.000We do these free trade agreements, we become dependent.
00:58:27.000The problem is the Chinese government's at war with its people.
00:58:30.000Maybe I'm stepping out of line saying that, but they're like... I'm not saying it's a good thing they're doing.
00:58:34.000I'm saying they think... There are people who believe it is better to sell out the United States to China because they think it'll avoid a war.
01:00:03.000But he started things and then we need to build on them and maybe change the trajectory or make it better or build on top of it.
01:00:11.000I think this is going to take decades to fix because it's taken decades to tear down.
01:00:15.000I think we should always expect better from people and just because someone's making money doesn't mean you should criticize them but it doesn't mean that they can't be doing things that are better for the world especially when they're reaching such huge levels.
01:00:26.000Now when Trump was in office he also spent a lot of money and I think financially one of the things that really hurts this country is borrowing money that we don't have.
01:01:31.000What's wrong with sticking a bunch of money away?
01:01:34.000What would be more powerful than an American government that wasn't in debt by like 30 trillion dollars, but we had a lovely little nest egg that we get to say, you know what?
01:01:43.000You mess with America, we're going to spend some of our savings, and we're going to put you people in your place, so leave us alone.
01:01:50.000That's what I think we should be doing instead of just continuing to dive into debt.
01:01:55.000I don't believe in borrowing money to make money.
01:02:13.000And it's funny because, you know, I got my start during Occupy Wall Street.
01:02:18.000Yeah, where is the mainstream left to be like, hey, let's put aside these petty squabbles and focus on the fact that there is a dominant establishment elite that is just extracting value from the working class and screwing over the little guy?
01:03:34.000Isn't it different when you read something, and you can read one person's text or one person's tweet, and if you put an angry tone on it because you don't like them because they're your political enemy, then you automatically take it the wrong way.
01:03:45.000Whereas if you read, most people, if they read my words, if they were hearing them the way I would speak them, they would hear it a lot differently.
01:03:53.000And especially when the media seeds a narrative about you, for instance, that makes you sound crazy, then people, they hear something in their head that is just a misrepresentation of who you are.
01:04:19.000We've had several people who are running for office on this show, and we've tried to get several people who are currently in office.
01:04:25.000I think, I could be wrong, but I think you're the first person who's actually currently sitting in political office who's come on the show.
01:04:32.000And, you know, just the way we were talking earlier, before the show started, it just, and we'll have that up as a special episode on the website, it's the Green Room, we show the whole behind the scenes.
01:04:49.000Because I got to say, a lot of people probably have this vision where like you go in, you know, it's your first term and you create a bill and then everyone stamps it.
01:05:59.000So they were debating a bill back and forth, and they're debating it back and forth, and there was someone sitting in Nancy Pelosi's seat, the speaker's chair, was not Nancy Pelosi.
01:06:08.000I don't know who it was because they had a mask on, and everybody wears masks, and I was like, okay, I don't know who that is.
01:06:14.000So they're debating back and forth, and then the guy up there holding the gavel in the speaker's chair calls for the vote by voice.
01:06:24.000So the Democrats, there was about five of them on their side, and there was about five Republicans on our side.
01:06:29.000The Democrats, it's their bill, so they're like, yay!
01:06:32.000And they're saying, yay, they want to vote for it.
01:06:35.000The Republicans on our side, they're used to getting defeated at this point because we're into February, and they go, nay, without enthusiasm.
01:06:44.000And then all of a sudden, the guy up there, Speaker Maskface, he gavels it in.
01:08:43.000I remember that one, too, off the top of my head.
01:08:47.000But I don't believe in many laws, but I definitely believe in the law that congressmen and women should read the bill before they vote on it.
01:08:53.000I also believe in term limits and on mandatory drug testing of members of Congress.
01:08:58.000Where do you stand on all those three issues?
01:09:00.000Okay, wait, I gotta tell you one more thing.
01:09:13.000Yeah, yeah, but a lot of the, you know, the... I get your point, though.
01:09:16.000Not at work, though, because then, believe me, they're not reading the bills.
01:09:20.000Trust me, if you would find out what the politicians are really up to, especially when they're flying on those airplanes and hanging on those islands and hanging out with Mr. Epstein, you would want to know exactly what they're doing.
01:09:29.000And I would want mandatory drug testing for all of them, because there's some funny business, to say the least.
01:09:34.000So you don't want somebody on drugs making you a chili cheese dog.
01:12:23.000So let's say every, um, I think the term, I signed the term limits pledge by the way, but I don't want to term limit myself unless everyone else is term limited because guess what that is?
01:13:09.000I want the good people to stay in and fight and fix the problems.
01:13:13.000So the term limit issue is really interesting.
01:13:16.000If you only term limit the members of Congress and the senators, but you never term limit the staff and the changes there, then essentially you're not solving any problems.
01:13:27.000That's why I say term limit all of them.
01:13:43.000And neocon wars that, of course, don't produce anything and destroy American Soldiers' lives destroy our economy and absolutely just fill the bank rolls for multinational corporations like Halliburton that are able to make too much money.
01:13:57.000Lockheed Martin, all of them, are just absolutely controlling a lot of our policy that also just quite benefits them at the same time.
01:14:03.000It's crazy what's happening in Washington DC.
01:14:05.000I say fire all of them, myself, but that's just my personal perspective and opinion.
01:14:10.000I'm telling people, vote in the primaries.
01:15:51.000When I asked for that, that means at that moment they have to call all 435 members of Congress, no matter where they are, to come down and vote on that bill.
01:17:45.000I will argue I've been one of the most effective members of Congress because I have put and led the effort to put the entire United States Congress on record so that Democrats can look up their representative and say, how did my Democrat that I voted for vote?
01:18:00.000Republicans, how did my Republican representative vote?
01:18:03.000I think this is extremely important for everyone across the country to know the job performance of their representative.
01:18:10.000The establishment can't be happy with you.
01:18:53.000Then there were 11 Republicans that voted with Democrats to kick me off committees because of things they didn't like that I said on Facebook years before I ever ran for Congress or became a member of Congress.
01:19:04.000It didn't matter what I was when I walked in and swore in or who I was.
01:19:09.000It didn't matter my great life record, my career.
01:19:12.000The fact that I've never been arrested, I've never done drugs, that I've raised three amazing children, none of that mattered to them.
01:19:17.000It was, we don't like a few things on Facebook, what maybe she liked or this she possibly said or anything.
01:19:24.000They kicked me off for that and then no one defended me.
01:19:47.000She kept saying things that were getting a lot of people to say like, hey, like, when you say it one time, we're kind of like, maybe there's a mistake, maybe you don't understand, but when you do it over and over again, now, regardless of whether anyone's really offended, what bothers me is the Democrats would condemn you, but defend her.
01:20:06.000Whatever they can do to hurt you and defend their side.
01:20:09.000When you were saying that the majority gets the committees, basically, is that like because if there's a majority of Democrats, minority Republicans, they go to every committee and put that ratio on every committee?
01:20:21.000So there are ratios, and that's a great question.
01:20:27.000And so whoever the majority party is, and right now it's the Democrats, they get to control each committee, meaning that the chairman of each committee will be a Democrat.
01:20:38.000And that chairman of each committee, say Chairman of Judiciary, which is Jerry Nadler, He will control which investigations they do.
01:20:47.000He gets to control which bills judiciary committee, which bills come out of judiciary, and which bills go to the floor that we all vote on.
01:20:56.000And so a majority-controlled Congress means that the Democrats or Republicans, whoever's the majority, controls all the committees.
01:22:22.000People also care about the pretrial January 6th defendants.
01:22:26.000I will never defend the riot at the Capitol.
01:22:28.000I won't defend what those people did, but I will talk.
01:22:31.000I have been in that jail, pushed my way in there, produced a report for everyone to read because I thought, oh my gosh, this is such a perverse action to our justice system.
01:23:02.000And I asked them, How do you feel about, are you going to be voting in the 2022 elections?
01:23:09.000Press 1 if you feel your vote is safe and you feel good about Georgia's new election laws.
01:23:14.000Press 2 if no, you don't feel good about the law, you don't think your vote is safe.
01:23:20.000Press 3 if you will not vote, and press 4 if you're unsure.
01:23:25.000Here's what really shook my confidence in what is going to happen in the 2022 midterms, because it's been talked about, elections have been talked about so much.
01:23:35.000On both times, 4% the first time said they will not vote.
01:23:41.000The second time, 5% said they will not vote.
01:23:59.000And if you take 4% of his total votes and they don't vote, Stacey Abrams would have won in 2018.
01:24:07.000So the reason why I say I don't know if it's going to be a tsunami or not, because I don't... I travel the country.
01:24:13.000I've been all over the country this past year because I wanted to get out and bring a message of positivity to people.
01:24:21.000Those people I talk to are everywhere.
01:24:23.000I think there's that percentage existing, especially in states where they really feel like their votes were stolen.
01:24:29.000That percentage is everywhere, and I don't know how that's going to translate.
01:24:33.000Will those people change their mind by the time they get to the elections?
01:24:37.000Well, a lot of Republicans, I'll be honest with you, are seen as kind of wishy-washy individuals who kind of sit on their hands as the Democrats kind of lead the way, and they kind of just sit there not opposing anything of it.
01:24:47.000There definitely does seem to be a fracture within the Republican Party.
01:24:51.000On one side you have kind of the Ron Paul, freedom-oriented individuals, and on the other side you of course have the Mitt Romneys who believe in, you know, big money, big power.
01:25:00.000Where do you see yourself on that kind of spectrum from 100 being Ron Paul, 0 being Mitt Romney, and is there a way to kind of heal this divide and give people confidence in the Republican Party since of course so many people feel let down by them?
01:25:50.000We're gonna put Mitch McConnell in there, and I could go through the list, but that brand of the GOP is a very small percent of the voters.
01:26:00.000The wide base of voters are conservative.
01:26:03.000They're definitely on my brand of politics.
01:26:07.000They're definitely more Freedom Caucus, which is, I'm a member of the Freedom Caucus.
01:26:13.000They're definitely the small government, constitutionalist, pro-freedom, pro-America voter.
01:27:39.000It's not a pretty scale, it's a freedom scale.
01:27:41.000Freedom, you know, liberty, personal responsibility.
01:27:43.000I'm definitely very pro-freedom, very pro-liberty.
01:27:47.000You know what, the climate change stuff comes up so much, but I feel like as we produce carbon, we can recollect the carbon and turn it into stuff like graphene and reuse it as a material, it's a valuable resource.
01:27:56.000And I want the conversation to go that direction as opposed to, oh, we're a freak.
01:28:02.000You're always going to be pumping carbon out there and reusing it.
01:28:05.000You know, I think there's so many people that come and talk about carbon with sincerity, right?
01:28:11.000But then, here's the elites, and I'm going to go back to the corporate communist.
01:28:15.000Let's talk about carbon tax credits, and let's talk about how all that is is really buying forgiveness, right?
01:28:20.000So, the whole carbon discussion is going to boil down into government regulation.
01:28:25.000It's going to boil down into taxes, because that's where the government solution is.
01:28:30.000It's not really, so like carbon tax credits for instance, if I'm a big company and I produce a lot of carbon, I can buy a bunch of carbon tax credits and get forgiven for my carbon output.
01:28:42.000Not that I actually reduce my carbon or learn how to capture it or change it, but I'm actually buying forgiveness.
01:28:48.000So you see that the solutions for people that really are into the climate change stuff or into the carbon things, the actual government solutions are really the opposite of what I think those people genuinely believe.
01:29:01.000You think that the government would end up building like large-scale carbon recapture technologies or is that they just leave it to the private sector?
01:29:22.000The heavier regulations make it easier for Chinese industry to sell to us the free trade.
01:29:27.000Look, I don't want people in this country to be working on slave poverty wages, but this idea of raising the minimum wage, at the same time raising the corporate tax, and at the same time Allowing free trade for these companies.
01:29:40.000All you're doing is saying, we're going to increase the barriers for your company in America and decrease the barriers for your company operating out of China, which is just extracting more and more from this country.
01:29:51.000If we go down that path, there's going to be nothing for the working class.
01:29:53.000No, there's going to be nothing because the working class loses.
01:29:56.000President Xi doesn't care about reducing his carbon output.
01:30:16.000to increase electricity. Why? Because America is sending them more business. Because Joe Biden is
01:30:22.000all about globalism and he's pro-China. This is a serious problem. And we have that nice young
01:30:27.000woman, Greta Thunberg, who complains about Europe and the United States and completely ignores,
01:30:32.000for the most part, India and China. So that to me, you're not solving the problem when
01:30:38.000you're blaming the one country that has paper straw.
01:30:40.000Well, not the one country, but I was at the airport in Texas and the lady walks up to me with an iced tea and a paper straw and she looks at me and she goes, I'm sorry.
01:30:48.000I'm not even kidding, like true story.
01:30:55.000But most importantly, it's also a lot of the people who are creating the problems, a lot of billionaires that are creating the solution, which means more money kind of given to them, which is such a strange idea.
01:31:05.000It just absolutely doesn't make sense.
01:31:35.000I would probably say that I really just don't believe it's people's fault that the climate changes.
01:31:42.000I mean, the climate's been changing since the beginning of time.
01:31:45.000If you look at the ice ages, none of the people back in the ice ages paid a bunch of taxes to melt the ice.
01:31:51.000So it's absolutely ridiculous to say that government solutions Paying more taxes to try to figure out how to reduce carbon, on paper really, not in reality, is going to do anything about climate change.
01:32:11.000And this spinning ball, Earth, rotates around a flaming ball, which is the Sun.
01:32:17.000And at the same time, this is moving throughout our galaxy, which is moving throughout the universe.
01:32:23.000I'm gonna argue, yeah, with gravitational pull and all of that, of course our climate's going to change.
01:32:28.000Yeah, there's evidence we're still in the Ice Age.
01:32:31.00012,800 years ago, at the end of the Younger Jurassic Comet hit Earth and melted the glaciers in the north, wiped out all the megafauna in North America, flattened what we have now, the plains, caused the Sahara, all that ocean sand got smushed up, annihilated Atlantis, reset humanity, but we're still in that Ice Age.
01:32:46.000It's just preemptively melted a bunch of it, and now we're easing our way out of the Ice Age, which is why things have been getting warmer.
01:32:52.000But nobody paid taxes to make that happen.
01:33:05.000So we're gonna go to Super Chats, but we are gonna have a special members-only, not-so-family-friendly, you know, totally uncensored conversation that'll be up at around 11 p.m.
01:33:51.000Because after we had him on the show the second time, we had messages from people saying, I had only heard about him from mainstream media, and I didn't actually know, you know, who he was or what he sounded like.
01:34:02.000And they were like, upon hearing him actually speak, you're like, oh, he's kind of like a normal guy, and his views aren't that crazy at all.
01:35:02.000You can notice this morning I was like, I didn't want to do my morning show because I was like, this is going to be an important show to have this conversation.
01:37:32.000The uniparty is real in Washington, D.C.
01:37:35.000It's the Republicans like John Katko that's really a Democrat, but for some reason he's a Republican.
01:37:41.000Um, and then they believe in the majority makers.
01:37:44.000I think the majority makers is such a failure.
01:37:46.000I'm one of those that I think that you give people something to vote for.
01:37:49.000If you are strong, fighting, conservative, you're gonna bring, we're gonna bring more voters to vote Republican than we ever could because there's a lot of people sitting to the sideline going, You know, these people never do anything.
01:38:03.000They never do what they're going to say.
01:38:04.000So why should I even bother voting for them?
01:38:07.000So I think it's my belief for the Republican Party is to actually do and say what we're what we're about, but do it and give people something to vote for.
01:38:16.000And I think the fact that we don't do that and we failed at that, that's why there's the Uniparty.
01:38:20.000And that's why those are the ones that hold all the strong leadership positions.
01:38:24.000We got Keith and Devin have both said that corporate communism is the dictionary definition of fascism.
01:38:29.000Basically, the merger between corporation and state for lucrative ends.
01:38:33.000However, the reason I didn't bring that up, I normally bring that up, but the reason I didn't bring that up in how you phrased it is that fascism is also traditionalist.
01:38:41.000So when you say corporate communism, it is the lucrative merger of corporation and state, but they're progressive.
01:39:05.000And there's no understanding of what it actually means.
01:39:08.000That's why I call it corporate communism, because the perfect example is Joe Biden pushing the vaccine mandates through the corporations onto their employers.
01:40:21.000So that's why I urged Republicans in Georgia that they need to listen to Shane Hazel and listen to libertarian views, because that way they're not ostracizing them and creating— What's going to happen, though, is this is going to be a real risk for Stacey Abrams to be governor of Georgia.
01:42:30.000I'm one of the few Republican members of Congress, one of the few members of Congress, period, that will actually care about what's happening to these people in jail.
01:42:44.000But it's an extremely important issue to so many Americans because they look at that and go, this is a two-tiered justice system.
01:42:53.000How can these people be treated one way and then other people that rioted for their cause have their charges dropped and treated completely different?
01:43:01.000It's terrifying when we see our government doing that.
01:43:04.000Alright, Laura Mora says, Hey Tim, MTG says she doesn't take lobbyist money.
01:43:36.000How they were reporting it was vaccine companies.
01:43:39.000Yeah okay so if I'm first off I'm in the minority minority party and I'm not on committees I can assure everyone I am not privy to any kind of insider information and I have no control over it.
01:44:42.000And I think, too, that when a bunch of members of Congress were criticized for this, people should realize that often people assign this to somebody else.
01:44:56.000I don't like the idea that members of Congress, like Nancy Pelosi's stocks, you know, she's Now, if anybody wants to do her stock picks, I say follow that lady because she's made a lot of money over the years.
01:46:50.000I have been screaming from the rooftops.
01:46:54.000Being kicked off committees was the best thing that ever happened to me because I could find out how dysfunctional Congress is, and I try to tell everyone about it.
01:47:02.000I want every American to know how bad Congress is failing Americans.
01:47:08.000If the Republicans win back the House this year, would you support Donald Trump as Speaker?
01:48:35.000So I'm completely in favor of repealing the NFA.
01:48:39.000And I think it was Michael Malice brought this up because we were such big fans.
01:48:43.000We referenced him over and over and over again.
01:48:45.000But he made this point that, you know, when Democrats get in Congress, they say, we are going to force everyone to do this thing, like universal health care.
01:48:52.000You've got Bernie Sanders saying abolish private health care and then just have, you know, a single government system.
01:49:54.000I fully believe that everything that's done there should serve the people to the best of its ability.
01:50:00.000If that means we have to work harder and work at sunset clauses and then say, okay, maybe we need to bring this back, whatever we need to do, I think it's important that we do it.
01:50:09.000So Young asks, you mentioned that Blue Jeans company and they want to know what the name is so they can support them.
01:50:16.000Oh, I wish that I'd rather not do that because anything I say, there's really nasty people on the left that will attack things that I promote.
01:51:44.000Everybody wants a cool automatic machine gun.
01:51:47.000Well, yeah, so this, I think, I was reading the history of it and I was surprised it passed in the first place because basically back in the old gangster days, they had the Tommy gun.
01:51:55.000And so the federal government was like, let's just, we can't ban guns, but we can put a tax on it and make it really hard for people to buy.
01:52:39.000Well, take a look at the NFA because I think once you dig into it and look at it, you'll probably end up coming out and being like, yeah, we're going to get rid of that.
01:52:48.000So right now, if you want to go to a gun shop and buy a suppressor, for instance, which makes the weapon safer in a lot of ways for everybody, like you said, it protects your hearing, and especially if you're engaging in defense of your home, it could take you up to a year.
01:57:41.000Hunter still owns, you know, part of a company in China.
01:57:44.000Oh, like they were like, we'll give you China if you give us fill-in-the-blank.
01:57:48.000Or we'll give you Afghanistan if you give us fill-in-the-blank.
01:57:50.000We'll give you rare earth mineral mines and then we're gonna pass laws that force Americans to drive electric vehicles so that they are automatically your customers, lover.
01:58:00.000Annika says, I really didn't like Marjorie Taylor Greene because the media told me she was a kook, but after listening to her have this convo, I want to have a cheeseburger with her, too.
01:58:08.000I'd vote for her if I wasn't in California.
01:58:34.000But even if it is mean, even if someone's like, this person is the worst member of Congress because she believes in this policy.
01:58:40.000It's like, well, she does believe in that policy and they don't like it.
01:58:42.000It's something called opponent processes.
01:58:44.000I was listening to Jordan Peterson talk about today.
01:58:46.000In nature, you have these things called opponent processes, where if there's a motion you're trying to move stably, if you press against it, it's easier to stabilize and move at your own pace.
01:58:55.000But you need that, you know, that asserting pressure.
01:59:15.000And then I misspell things or mistype it or autocorrect and I can't fix it and then I get made fun of because I misspelled something and I'm like, take it!
01:59:22.000Do you guys ever get it where you land right on 240 characters?
02:00:18.000Timothy Williams says, Marjorie, I thought you were crazy because of what I heard, and I watch a lot of Poole and Crowder and others, but very down to earth, and I agree with a lot.
02:00:27.000And that's a lot of what we heard, too.
02:00:28.000That, you know, they're like, watch any of our interviews.
02:00:31.000It's like calm, straightforward, normal conversations.
02:00:35.000But your opinions go against the establishment.
02:00:37.000So the things that make it out in the press are going to be the worst possible framing, the lies, the smears.
02:00:43.000I'm just like, look, you know, I've talked about the things you wrote on Facebook in the past too.
02:00:48.000And I've said basically what you said.
02:00:50.000If you didn't say it while you were in Congress, I don't know why it's relevant to Congress.
02:00:53.000And if you apologize for it, then we can all move on and have real conversations about policy.
02:00:57.000But it seems like they, you know, if they want to find a way to keep people from hearing you, that's the problem we have in this country.
02:01:05.000That's right, and it is because I challenge—I challenge everything and everybody.
02:01:11.000I don't just sit there and go along with, oh, OK, my Republican conference says this, this is what we're going to do, and yes, yes, yes.
02:01:30.000I mean, I think it's fair to say Marjorie Taylor Greene is not there to go along and get along.
02:01:36.000But at the same time, I'm challenging Democrat ideas that I really disagree with that hurt our entire country, like this insanity of forcing us to depend on China to drive.
02:01:50.000Considering how much Americans disapprove of Congress, hearing that you were forcing the roll call votes and making all of them do their jobs, I'm sure a lot of people were just laughing at home.
