Speaker 1

Depending on what side of the ail you're on, she's either one of the most beloved or most hated members of the House. I guess this week is none other than Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green. She's been a fighter in the MAGA movement, fighting for America First and fighting for her district. But the left hates her, and they hate her so much that a group called the Free Speech for People actually followed the lawsuit trying to kick her

off the primary ballot. They say that she violated the fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, that she was trying to wage some sort of insurrection when it comes to January six, So if you got that right, it's a group, a liberal group called Free Speech for America purporting to stand up for free speech, who are trying to kick her off the ballot for things that she said, who say that they care about election integrity and democracy, trying to

thwart just that and deny Georgia vote orters the ability to vote for her. So raises some questions, doesn't it. But she's a fighter and she's not backing down. So we're going to get into that and a whole host of other things like Ukraine, the Biden administration and why Americans keep getting screwed and all of this. It's gonna be an interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy it.

Stay with us for Congress Owen Marjorie Taylor Green cogres A, Marjorie Taylor Green, thanks so much for joining the show. Thanks for having me ar today. So, Congress, when I met you a while ago at a Project Faritas event, and I actually saw you again in the bathroom and came up to you, not in like a weird way, not not like what they did to you know, Kirsten Cinema,

but in a very nice way. And and I told you you're so lovely, because the media tries to paint you as all these different things, but I found you to be absolutely lovely and so kind and sweet. Well, thank you. I really appreciate that. You're right, It wasn't in a weird way in the bathroom. So we do want to make that, make that no, No, you were great. Um. Yeah.

The media, they basically have created a character that they have sold to the public, um, ever since I became a member of Congress, And it's not me at all. And that's your comment, is the comment that I hear pretty much all the time when people are saying you're not at all like I thought you would be. And my response as always, well, you know that's the media has lied about me and presented me as someone that

I'm not. UM. So I very much appreciate any opportunity to have to to you know, talk with people and and let them get to know the real me. You know, what, do you think the biggest misconception about you is? Um? Oh, my gosh, there's several. Uh, I don't know. To be honest with you, Lisa, I quit watching the news and quit reading stories about myself because I found them to be so abhorrent and awful. And they they create me

as someone to not be liked. They make me out as if I'm angry or crazy or basically just unintelligent um, which you know is completely unfair. But they they say, give me all the isms, you know, or it's like the racist, homophobic, um, you know, anti semitic, they give me all. They put all those labels on me, and none of them were true, and UM, you know that's pretty frustrating. So I think people get the wrong idea about me. Unfortunately, if they only know me through the

mainstream media. Do you think those attacks work anymore because I mean, you know, how many times can they call insert anyone races, you know, sex is all these different things. Do you think that's sort of falling flat now because of overuse? I do think they're falling flat, especially as people are paying attention to the Democrats and the way they're controlling our country. I mean, they'll they'll label someone like me all these terrible names. But yet they're the

ones whose policies actually uh proved. They are those things. You know, take for example, the squad in in Congress, you know that I unfortunately have to work with on a day by day basis. Um, they're truly anti semitic. You know, those are the ones. Those are the ones that we should be talking about being anti semitic. Um and racists talk. Let's talk about race. Um. They always use Black Americans basically for their votes. Yet they support

abortion and they're fighting for it right now. And abortion has killed more Black Americans, uh than than anything. Abortion is basically genocide of the of of Black Americans because of how many black babies that have been aborted, and planned parenthood targets these communities and so you know, Democrats policies proved that they're racist. And we could go on

and on. I mean, look at the gun control policies. Uh, and in cities where that increased crime, you know, and if they cared about Black Lives matters, they would certainly care about supporting law enforcement and reducing crime in these communities.

And after after that whole summer of the Summer of rage and riots, uh, after George Floyd, you know, with Black Lives Matter and Democrats funding Black Lives Matters and all the riots that occurred, well, none of that money ever went back to rebuild any of those communities that they claimed they cared about. They all that money when in in the pockets of the founders of Black Lives Matters and apparently bought a bunch of million dollar mansions. Uh.

So there's things that we need to investigate there. But you know, the Democrats are the party of identity politics, but yet they really do nothing to take care of the identities they supposedly say they care about. Well, I mean, eugenics was the mission of planned parenthood. So um, but you know, so have you ever just thought like this is too much? You know, this just isn't worth it. No, not at all. And I think that's what people don't know about me, is I'm I'm not that kind of person.

I'm always used to, you know, finishing the drill, finishing the job, following through on my task, completing the race, completing the competition. And and I'm actually the type of person um you know, once I dig into something, I usually dig in deeper, and I'm stronger in my position, I feel more confident, and I'll continue to fight until I win because I'm I'm competitive in that way, and I like to win, and I want to win on things that matter. I think America is worth fighting for.

I'll give you for example, today, I've I've lit up a tweet storm on my my my congressional twitter page. I don't have my personal Twitter page anymore, tweeting about this bill, uh, the the Ukraine, some supplemental that we just got the text for the bill just a few hours ago. That's spending forty billion dollars. And here we are in a crisis right now where American mothers can't find baby formula, you know, and here's our border wide open.

We're Fentonal is now the number one cause of death uh in young people from age eighteen to forty five. These are things that I think are worth fighting for. Farmers in my district, oh my goodness, let me tell you it's the saddest thing. Farmers are barely hanging on. Small farmers, cattle farmers, chicken integrators. You know, food security is national security, and the Biden administration, the Democrats, that's

not something they understand. So when we're in a situation where American mothers can't find baby formula and are crying and grocery stores and desperately searching for baby formula, and we have our own farmers about to go out of business and not be able to supply food for our country. Um, yeah, I think America is worth fighting for and I will continue to dig in and I just won't stop. Well,

you know, it's your point. There's this sort of collective effort to to give you know, to the billions of dollars to Ukraine right now. And you mentioned a list of things that Americans are struggling with. Why do Americans keep getting screwed because our government is completely corrupt? And I don't say that lightly. I'm it is a serious problem. And I've my eyes have been open to it actually

serving in Congress. I mean, it's it is unbelievable the things that are These bills fund and give our Americans harder and tax dollars too, but yet they do nothing for Americans. I mean, look at President Trump when he was first in office in seventeen, what was it he wanted, like I think it was twenty six six billion to build the wall. But today they're wanting to give forty

billion dollars to Ukraine. And you add that forty billion on top of the money that we've already given that that brings it the fifty three billion dollars that is actually over two thirds of the eight Department's entire budget for the year. That's just to put in, you know,

to conceptualize how much money we're spending in Ukraine. But they do this because they fund um nonprofits, they fund NGOs, they fund grants, grants that go to people, and and you know, if you really look into it, a lot of times it's their friends and families that operate these nonprofits and NGOs and it's basically like money laundering schemes. I mean, this doesn't this not only happens in Ukraine.

It happens at our southern border. Um, there's a lot of nonprofits that that supposedly help migrants, and of course we want to help people. It's it's not that we don't want to help people. And you know, we we want to have good immigration laws, but we want them to be followed. But our American tax dollars get abused because they go to these nonprofits and these NGOs and and fund all kinds of grants that just go to things that don't need to be spent when our own

own people are suffering. I mean, homelessness is record high here in wash at m d C. It's pathetic. There's so many homeless people. It's the saddest thing you've ever seen. Veterans aren't taking care of um. You know, we've got human trafficking happening at record high numbers. Young people, oh, my goodness, young people. This generation of young people, children, young people have just been cast aside and no one

even cares about them. And it's it is it is to me, it's a complete failure and absolute failure of our government. And it's just one big you know, our tax dollars are like one big slush fund. For criminal operations and it's it needs to end well. And to that point, I know you've been looking through this Ukraine funding bill. Has anything stood out to you of you know, why is this in there? I mean among probably a lot of things, but what stood out to you so far? Oh? Yeah,

I can run through a couple of things. Uh, fifty four million dollars for COVID just for over there for fifty four million dollars to be spent um screening and and vaccinating and doing all these things for Ukrainian reference refugees. But yet the Biden administration wants to get rid of Title forty two, so that doesn't make sense. Uh, here's another one. Nine hundred million is just like I was

talking about nonprofits and ngs. Nine hundred million is to be given to qualified organizations and nonprofits which are basically friends and family of politicians and you know, their so called businesses to provide wrap around services, housing, medical services, and everything you name it. They get it, including um, you know, they're they're basically eligible for any help that the US government will give them, and we're putting nine

hundred million dollars right there. Uh. Also here's there they they can get entitlement programs in this bill entitlement programs. Does that mean like all of our welfare programs. I mean, it doesn't give it doesn't give a description. It just says they're eligible for entitlement programs. UM. It gives basically a slush fund for the State Department because it is giving them. Let me look at it right here, uh, A hundred and ninety million that is to remain available

available to UM. Then they get another additional ten million dollars for capital investments capital investments in Ukraine. UM. And then we get an additional four million UH for the Office of Inspector General to remain available until four for embassy security construction and maintenance. Uh. So apparently we're building a brand new embassy in a in a country that is currently you know, they're they're at war, but they're putting all this money in place. But yet there's no

baby formula for American mothers. So that's that's just the name a few things. I'm I'm trying to pull up some more. Oh, here we go, UM, there's money. Wait a minute, let me Oh, yeah, they've got money in here for to defend Ukraine's border, but not to secure

our border, which is absolutely insane. They have here's the amount of five hundred million dollars for the payment by the Secretary of the Treasury to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and its trust funds and facilities, five hundred million dollars to remain available and until expended for assistance and related programs for Ukraine and countries impacted by the situation in Ukraine, so not just Ukraine, other countries.

And then they have for the globe for Global Agriculture and Food Security program a hundred and fifty million dollars. But yet our farmers are literally on the verge of going out of business. I talked to them all week last week in my district and they they're getting hurt so badly by inflation, high fuel costs with diesel fuel. I mean everything that the chemicals for their field cost, war money, fertilizer is outrageous, the cost of feed for

their for their stock, you know, you name it. They can they're barely they're not even breaking even right now. But we're going to give all this money for global agriculture. It's just it's America laughed at every single term. Do you think people realize that no, no, they don't know. They don't know because they only see the headlines that the media puts out um or the way the name of the bill. You know, a lot of these bills

have really nice names. They sound fantastic when you when you read the name of the bill, and that'll be what's talked about in the news, and then the news will be like, we're helping the Ukrainian people, which all none of us want anyone to be hurt or weren't. We don't want this to be happening to innocent people. But yet they totally ignore the fact that guess what, Ethiopia is having a civil war right now. There's thousands of people that have been killed and millions have been displaced.

So it's it's such a hypocrisy. It's not really about saving lives, but it certainly is about Ukraine. You know what I mean. Well, I mean the hypocrisy is just all around, and it's continuous, and there's never any accountability for anyone on the left. You know, for instance, you've come under fire for some of the things you've said about January six, and in fact that I want to get into the group called the free speech for people who actually try to thwart you off the ballot in

a minute. But Chicago Mayor Laurie Lightfoot recently tweeted to my friends in the LGBTQ community, the Supreme Court is coming for us next. This moment has to be a call to arms and actual cold arms, is what the Chicago mayor said. Yet you know, where's the where's the accountability for that? And actual called arms? Oh absolutely, I retweeted her, asking, you know, is this an ins direction?

Are you declaring a civil war? You know what's really disturbing about her tweet other than the call for arms, call to arms, you know, she's calling for people to pick up guns and go fight for something that is in her head. Nowhere is the Supreme Court talking about ending um l g b t Q plus or whatever

she said rights that we're talking about abortion. They're talking about overturning Row versus Wade, which sends it back to the states to be able to regulate and make their laws when it when it comes to abortion, each state individually on its own and that has nothing to do with lgbt Q rights. But yet this woman, the elected and current serving mayor in Chicago, is calling for a war,

which is absolute insanity and and it's dangerous. But yet here she is the mayor of Chicago, which has one of the highest murder rates in the United States um and also the strictest gun control. So it's like, wait a minute, you're for strict gun control, your city is one of the worst in the country, but you're calling for everyone to pick up pick up your guns and go fight for for your lgbtwo key rights that are not being threatened at all by the Supreme Court. She's unhinged,

absolutely unhinged. She should be removed, she shouldn't be mayor. Well, but there's just never any accountability. Maybe the incoming pre secretary tweeting that the Georgia gubernatorial election was stolen from Stacy Abrahams. We have Nancy Pelosi in tweeting our election was hijacked. But you know, again, never any accountability. Take a quick commercial break back with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green on the other side, there is an actual attempt to

try to kick you off. The primary about the group is called free Speech for People Correct, which is obviously they don't believe in free speech, and this was allegedly done in an effort to preserve democracy, elections, whatever, whatever, when they're actually trying to disqualify you from the ballot and deny Georgians the ability to choose, which you know, I can't think of anything that's more in ethetical to democracy than that. But a judge fortunately knocked down their

attempt found you qualify to run for office. The Secretary of State than accepted that judges ruling. But for those unfamiliar, walk us through what they're trying to do and what you just went through just defending your right to run for office. Well, this this attorney group, their nonprofit I think there are five oh one C three or five

oh one C four Free speech for people. Yes, that is that is a hilarious name for for an attorney group that's trying to get rid of, like you said, completely annihilate people's freedom of speech by taking away their ability to vote for who they want to represent them in Congress. Um that that's that's one part you can't even make up. They're funded, So they are a funded attorney group. They asked for donations. Um, they're funded by other five oh one C three's other foundations, So it's

kind of dark money. If you can imagine it. When it's transferred from one group to the next, you can't really track who the actual donors are, but you only get the donation the foundation or or group names. But yeah, free speech for people. Attorneys from New York and Massachusetts.

They decide to come down and meddle and urge for elections, claiming that that using the Fourteenth Amendment, Section three on the Fourteenth Amendment, claiming that, uh, that I somehow waged an insurrection against the United States of America, which I absolutely did not. Um. But they they are making that claim. Now they're doing this not only to me, but they're doing it to a number of elected Republicans. So I'm not the only one. But my case got completely out

of control. Uh. Each state is different, Each state has different laws. So in my state of Georgia, it just so happened that this case went to the Administrative Law Court where a judge allowed them to subpoena me onto the witness stand as their witness, where they could question me, you know, about anything they wanted to ask me. Um. So I had to go on the witness stand. I was there for nearly four hours, where they asked me

over and over all kinds of insane questions. Um. The only thing I did on January six is I objected to Joe Biden's electoral College votes. I would do that again today. I would do it again tomorrow because of the amount of voter fraud that I believe happened there, and because there were over two thousand American Americans who signed their name uh stating that they witnessed voter fraud, and they did that at risk of perjuring themselves in a court of law. So I objected on January six, Um,

and that is legal. That's the same thing that Democrats have done in the past three Republican presidential elections. UM. So they definitely believe in doing it. But this attorney group, you know, they targeted me. Um. They had to find voters in my district. That was one of their requirements, and they found five voters. And these five voters, it's

it's kind of funny. One of them happened to be the Democrat chairwoman uh for my district, so she there was clear a clear political uh uh purpose and why she was one of the voters. And I think a couple of them were from Canada. They had moved just to move there from Canada, so they weren't really a very good representation of most people live in my district.

But out of over seven hundred thousand people in my district, congratulations to free speech for people, they found five voters to do the silly lawsuit with them, and um, I gotta tell you it was it was absolutely absurd. They even ended up playing a clip from the movie Independence Day. Uh, And I mean I was embarrassed for him and how stupid they looked. But they were claiming that I supposedly got my ants for ration from Independence Day, which I

did not. I don't I'd seen that movie maybe fifteen years ago. I don't even know, but it was it was pretty it was pretty bad. Well, you don't also, if Nancy Pelosi can question elections and the incoming White House Press Secretary can question elections, you know, so can we, particularly when it's the first time we've used mail and ballots on that scale before. So it's sort of skeptical that no one has any concerns about what went down, you know, given that. But I feel like CNN sort

of gave away the game a little bit. I was reading an article about it uh, and it said that if the effort is successful against Green, there's a school thought it could be used against Trump in so mean, is that basically what this was against you? And I know they try to do it to Madison called Thorne as well as I believe Congressman go Star and Andy Biggs.

My understanding I think I've read that as well, is that what this was is just a practice run to try to use this against President Trump potentially running again. I think it it's a combo of two things. I think they definitely wanted to get us off the ballot. They know they can't beat us at the ballot box in November. They know that we have strong support in our districts. Were also the group they have targeted, um, you know, me and others where some of the like

toughest fighters in Congress. We were the most conservative members of the Freedom Caucus. That's who they mainly targeted. And Um, so they were hoping to be successful. But yes, I do think they were also hoping to find like loopholes in the law, hoping to be able to do this to President Trump, you know, in twenty four So they they would have loved to do it. Um, Thankfully, the judge in my case completely ruled against them, and our

Secretary of State has already signed off. So my name is on the ballot and no one's freedom of speech in my district has been taken away by these these people. But I do think that, you know, they need to be disbarred, these attorneys. They shouldn't be allowed to politicize our courtrooms like this. They shouldn't be able to bring these type of frivolous challenges that that cost me a lot of money, cost other people a lot of money, um, and put a lot of stress on people. It's it's

completely unfair. So that that is damage that they've done to me over this this ridiculous uh case they brought. And I plan on, you know, making sure that I'm made whole again against these people. We said to take a real quick break and then we're going to get more from Congress when Marjorie Taylor Green stay with us. But what's concerning is there there just seems to be this increase mass weaponization of either the law or the government,

you know, against conservatives. And when we saw this during lockdowns attempts to force vaccinations with the CDC was tracking Americans to see if they're complying with COVID lockdown orders. You know, obviously, the d O, j FBI against President Trump. We've got a Ministry of truth now, even the Post Office has admitted to spying on Americans social media accounts. So, I mean, what do we do in in in the wake of this, when we've just got this mass weaponization

of both the law and the government against us. Well, Lisa, I mean, you just name the list that should be the most alarming thing. It should fright probably missing something, Yeah, yeah, we could add some more, but you just named a list that should frighten every single American and our government is it's not it's it's not the same government. It's it's a regime. It's their communist They are waging a war against America. I mean that's how I look at it.

Look at the FBI and the Department of Justice. They are completely political weapons against the political enemies of the Democrats. So anyone that went inside the capital on January six, whether they just walked around or they actually fought police officers or broke their way in, no matter what level they were on, they have become political targets. They have been arrested, they're being prosecuted, and some of them are still held held in jail to this very day. Um,

the Ministry of Truth is absolutely absurd. And I mean that woman. We have a lot to say about her. She's, um, yeah, Nina, Nina. She's written quite a book, but she's she's one that I mean imagine it's torturous enough just to listen to her seeing but the very idea that they can make her the decision maker of what's true and what isn't true, and she's she's just a clearly far left progressive woman that seems miserable in her own right. And I just feel sorry for her child, uh, to have that kind

of mother. But she she clearly hates hates everyone, She hates all of us, and they put her in charge. And then we've got the Press secretary. Oh my, I'm excited about the new Press secretary actually, given the fact that she and I both agree that elections can be stolen. So that's that's a good thing, you know. Um. But there's so there's so many bad things I think Americans have to wake up to. At least you said the

perfect list. I mean, CDC is using geofencing data. We got the FBI using geo fencing data tracking our every movements. But yet everyone's uh calling foul and about two thousand dules and saying, oh, the fact checkers are like, no, that's impossible, that didn't happen. You can't do that. That's not even true. That's the big lie, you know, it's

it's absurd. So I think what everyone needs to do is they need to double down, make sure they vote and never elect Democrats again, because they're they're not They're not American Democrats. They're america last globalist communist. Well, and of course the arny is Nina, the Minister of Truth, has bought into every you know, disinformation, fake narrative there is on the left of all the Russia Gate, and the list goes on. So uh, you know, obviously she

can't spot a lie when she sees one. Uh. You know, I know you're on a tight timeline today. Anything else you want to leave us with before we go, well, I think I just want to let everyone know that there, that there's America is still here and it's worth fighting for and I'm committed to doing that. And and there's people like you, Lisa who are willing to do shows to get the truth out and and interview people like

me um, which I'm really grateful for. And I hope, I hope people listen and find out that I'm not the person that they maybe think I am from the news. But but we have a lot, we have a lot of work to do. This isn't going to go away overnight. This is going to take a commitment and and in order to get our country back on track, it may take us ten years, but it's worth doing. And we have to finish the drill. We have to finish the job, and we have to complete this very important task in

front of us, and I'm committed to doing that. Well. I appreciate your time, Congress, and thanks so much for joining the show. Thank you, MHM.
