And I am really fed up with it, sick and tired of it.
The only way to save America is for Republicans to grow a spine.
[MUSIC]
>> You just watched the intro sequence for
Marjorie Greene's podcast titled Battleground.
And as you can see lots of imagery there featuring guns, bullets, Marjorie Greene
saying she's sick of it, saying that it's time for Republicans to fight and
all of this with the backdrop of endless gun violence in the country.
And here is a picture promoting her podcast where you can see that she's using
the same imagery and trying to push the same message.
I mean at this point I almost feel like we're making the situation worse by
drawing attention to it because it's not like they're gonna stop.
They don't care about the gun violence.
Clearly they keep doing this knowing full well that it's encouraging
people in a country full of undiagnosed and
untreated mental illness to carry out potentially acts of violence.
It's just so irresponsible and so stupid.
I just don't understand why they keep doing it.
But they don't care, they're gonna keep doing it.
>> Yeah, well look, that's the tragic part of it, which is the reason they do
it is because it does appeal to a lot of Republican voters.
And so when she's got the heavy weaponry and she's stepping out of the SUV,
she's doing it in front of the Capitol where January 6 happened.
So this is not subtle, this is saying like, let's go do it again, remember?
And last time when we raided the Capitol and we did it in a violent way but
this time look at the heavy weaponry I'm bringing in and it's a battleground and
that's what we're gonna do.
Guys, if this was in the Democratic Party, I would still condemn it and
you guys have seen me do it a thousand times with things that were much more mild
in representation of physicality or violence when it comes to our side.
But even so, if the same exact thing was done by a Democrat,
it would be less problematic because there are no polls showing that Democratic
voters are in a violent mood, right, and that they wanna attack the Capitol,
they wanna kill politicians or anything along those lines.
But there is a poll, in fact there are several polls showing that about 28% of
Republican voters think it might be time for violence.
And in that context when you stoke the fires and you're like, yeah,
let's shoot people, yeah, violence, guns, weapons, murder, awesome.
Yeah, that's a massive problem.
Basically you're saying give me vigilante terrorists and
go to work on our political opponents, and within the context
of other fascist regimes, they did tricks just like this.
And then went, did my brown shirts kill you guys and intimidate you?
Golly, gee, what a bad break, we caught Wink?
>> Also, I mean it's interesting because she's complaining about government.
She's complaining about not being able to, I guess,
carry out policy that would improve people's lives.
>> Then do better.
>> Then hold on, what's interesting about that is, okay, so
what is your solution to that?
And so she's talking about how she's sick of it, and
she's standing there with her weapon.
That message that she's putting out there into the world is,
if I'm not getting what I want, I should try to solve it through violence.
And I get it, she's trying to position herself as, like, this badass.
And I get gun culture in America.
I understand that all sorts of people who are not violent at all enjoy their guns,
it's a hobby for them.
I'm not minimizing that.
But what I am emphasizing here is the contingent of individuals in this
country who think that using violence and
carrying out violence through the use of these weapons is the solution.
>> Guys, if she just used a sword, I'd be like, let her go.
We've used swords in the past, and nobody attacked January 6 with swords.
There's no poll saying that Republicans can't wait to cut people's fingers off
with swords or whatever it is, right?
That's just like, tough guy imagery, right?
But no, she has an assault weapon,
which she's firing in the intro in Washington, DC.
And then saying, politics isn't working.
But hey, we have weapons and 28% of Republicans guys,
are tens of millions of people.
So they're taking the people who are most prone to suggestion and
the ones that have, perhaps mental health issues, and
they're egging them on and egging them on.
And then guys show up just like last week in front of Obama's house saying,
I'm going to kill Obama, I'm gonna kill Jamie Raskin, etc.
And let alone the pipe bombers, let alone the guys who drove up in the vans that
they said were filled with bombs,
let alone the people who tried to kidnap the Michigan governor.
And it goes on and on and on, and within that context,
here she is pouring fuel all over that fire.
It's not an accident, they wanna intimidate us through violence.
These are terrible, disastrous times.
