CNN has obtained thousands of text messages that former
Chief of Staff Mark Meadows had provided to the January 6th panel.
And boy are these text messages doozies,
including some updates on Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And which she was communicating to Mark Meadows on the day the rioters
stormed the capitol, causing mayhem and absolute chaos.
And it's a it's relevant considering the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene
is currently being questioned in regard to whether or
not she can seek reelection due to her part in the January 6th riots.
Now, she had texted Mark Meadows as the riots were taking place.
Quote, Mark I was just told there is an active shooter on
the first floor of the capitol.
Please tell the president to calm people.
This isn't the way to solve anything.
So, the fact that she wants White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to reach
out to Trump makes it abundantly clear that she knows the rioters are there
on behalf of trump, they want to overturn the results of the election.
And it's very different from what she said under oath in the video that
you're about to watch.
>> When you were notified that people had entered the capitol illegally.
Did you also understand that point that there had been violence at the capitol?
>> I only knew what I was told, I'd heard a gunshot.
We all heard it, and we were so confused, we thought Antifa was breaking in or
BLM because of those were the riots that had gone on and
on all throughout 2020 day in and day out.
Just horrible riots all over the country, and
that was the only thing that made sense to most of us.
>> She lied, that's flat out lie.
Because again, on January six jinx she text messages Mark Meadows to tell him
to communicate to Trump to make it stop.
>> Yeah, if you thought it was Antifa or BLM, how would trump make them stop?
Trump saying don't do it would presumably make them wanna do it more.
So, it just betrays the bias that she has of course.
She sees somebody breaking the law and she thinks it must be black people,
it must be left wingers,
even though she saw that it was a giant Trump crowd earlier in the day, right?
She just can't believe her lying eyes that it would be her beloved white people and
what right wingers that caused the minds.
But of course another giant thing here is now,
all the right wingers are downplaying January six, no big deal.
But on January six, Marjorie, Taylor Greene's like, please tell
the president he's got a comment down there all literally scared to death.
>> There's an active shooter, she's terrified about the active shooter,
I mean, and she should have been as every other member of Congress was as they're
stuck in that building with all this chaos unfolding.
And by the way, that text message to Mark Meadows did not end up getting a response.
So, Mark Meadows didn't respond to her there.
Now Greene actually helped craft various strategies to prevent
the certification of the election.
That's also revealed in these text messages and it's also very relevant to
the fact that her reelection bid is being challenged as we speak.
>> Now on December 31st, Greene reached out to Meadows for advice about how to
prepare for objections to certifying the election on January 6th..
Good morning, Mark I'm here in DC.
She wrote, we have to get organized for the sixth.
I would like to meet with Rudy Giuliani again.
We didn't get to speak with him along.
Also anyone who can help.
We are getting a lot of members on board and we need to lay out the best case for
each state.
So, she was very much involved in the planning in various strategies to
essentially go against the will of the people to ensure
that Donald Trump who was not elected as president remained in power.
Meadows does not respond to that text message either by January 17th, so,
this is obviously 11 days after the riots took place.
Greene was suggesting ways to keep Trump in office,
telling Meadows there were several Republicans in Congress who still
wanted the then president to declare martial law
which had been raised in the heated oval office meeting a month earlier.
These are all incredibly relevant, okay?
So, one more text I wanna read from Marjorie Taylor Greene,
she wrote in our private chat with only members, several are saying
the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for martial law.
I don't know on those things, I just wanted to tell him they stole
this election, we all know they will destroy our country next.
Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so
we can go after Biden and anyone else.
>> Okay, so lots of stuff, there a couple of things that actually are on
Marjorie Taylor Greene's side and then a couple of things disastrously against her.
Why do I say that?
You can see from the text that she clearly thought would never be revealed otherwise,
she wouldn't have said the other things in the text that she genuinely thinks that
the election was stolen.
So, this is what we're talking about at the end of last week.
The only issue Kevin McCarthy will have with Republicans is not because he
was brazenly lying about what he said on January six which got revealed
at the end of last week.
They don't care about lying at all.
He would get in trouble because he's not a genuine lunatic.
Unlike Marjorie Taylor Greene and here she shows she is the real deal.
She genuinely believes that without any evidence at all,
that the election was stolen.
She further says you should declassify the materials because
she believes that there's actual evidence that Trump can declassify that would show
that the election is stolen.
Now Trump knows there's no actual evidence.
That's why he didn't declassify anything before he left office because there's
nothing to declassify.
Does it look like trump didn't wanna try everything he could to stay in office?
No, he clearly whatever he had, he threw the kitchen sink at it, okay?
The reason he didn't declassify anything is because there wasn't anything,
>> There was nothing to declassify.
>> Nothing at all.
Okay, so now on to the disastrous parts of Marjorie Taylor Greene when people say and
again, a slight defense here in the beginning.
I've seen some people put it in headlines and I think it's misleading
where she says organized for the sixth in the quota and I read you, right?
She meant not organized for the riots that happened to be fair to her now.
But to be fair to the rest of us,
what she actually meant is organized the actual coup.
Okay, guys, we've been telling you this and
I feel like we're the only show that it clarifies this.
There's two different things that happened on January 6th.
One was the riot,
the violent breaking into the capitol that has zero chance of success.
It's not like they were gonna violently take the capital and
we couldn't remove them with weapons, right?
Then there's the second thing that they were trying, which is the actual coup with
fake electors and Pence was supposed to say, the legitimate electors
are not going to be seated, we're gonna put the fake electors in.
Jim Jordan's wrote a huge text that we're gonna talk about later in the show
related to that.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene's in the actual coup camp.
She's like, let's organize for January 6th and she talks to some of
the texts about how they're gonna try to make sure that Biden doesn't get seated.
That's the fake electoral strategy, that is way worse.
But no one focuses on that in Washington because that involves
actual elected officials and Donald Trump.
And the Democrats would wet themselves if they tried to actually hold anyone in
power accountable, they'd be so afraid that it would come back to them.
The elites are their friends and they view Marjorie Taylor Greene as so
much a bigger part of who they are as an elite.
She's a sitting Congresswoman,
which they would never ever take criminal action against her, right?
Because they'd be worried about their own asses.
But that's the actual coup, Navarro Bannon, Jordan's Greene, Trump himself,
should all be arrested for trying to subvert democracy.
And finally, we'll we have incontrovertible proof you just saw with
your own eyes, she said declare martial law.
No, that's a coup that's a literal coup where you say no, we will not see the guy
who won in a democracy instead, we will have military rules.
And look for the right wingers, I know you don't care about facts,
logic hypocrisy, or any of that, but think about I'll try one time anyway.
Think about when Gore had actually won the election in 2000, later when it was
recounted, he'd won the electoral college too, but it was too late.
But at the time he had an excellent case, obviously that he had won the election,
he won the popular vote by a large margin.
Imagine if Bill Clinton, who was a sitting president at the time said, no,
we're not gonna sit George W Bush, we're gonna do martial law,
have military rule and Al Gore will be president.
>> Well, they don't have to worry about that kind of stuff.
Obviously, not retroactively with what happened in the past, but certainly not
in the future with a flaccid Democratic Party that's scared of its own shadow.
That we're dealing with an asymmetrical situation here where you have one party
that is willing to do anything and everything,
including dismantling our whole democracy.
In order to maintain power in the most authoritarian way imaginable.
Whereas, the Democratic Party is sitting there, playing patty cakes doing there.
Look, the panel investigation is ongoing,
but what is the point of that panel investigation?
People got mad at me because I called out the panel for
refusing to refer criminal charges to the DOJ,
in regard to Donald Trump and his criminality in all of this.
Like, well, we don't wanna get it if we do that, it might seem to political.
So, we're just gonna that attorney General Merrick Garland figures out on
his own that he should prosecute Trump criminally for what he did,
is Merrick Garland gonna do that?
>> Zero percent.
>> Zero percent chance.
We have weakness on top of weakness on top of weakness in the Democratic Party.
And so when you say, to the right, those questions change those thought experiments
don't work with them because they know that they don't have to worry about it.
>> Yeah, they're not at all afraid that democrats would use their power.
That's why it's hilarious that whenever they're like, the Democrats abuse of power
where maybe against Progressives within the Democratic Party.
Yeah, that's where they're tough, that's where they use dirty tricks.
They use corruption, they use all those things.
That's when their real interests are at hand because they could lose power to
Progressives within their own party.
But when it comes to fighting Republicans, they have the same donors, they're never
gonna fight those donors would be fighting their own boss and they're in
the same club, and they don't wanna expose that club to any criminal liability.
So, they'll do absolutely nothing about it.
But our job is to inform you guys, so this is the news today Marjorie,
Taylor Greene is a traitor who planned a coup.
So that America would be ruled by military rule, it's in the text.
So, but as Anna said, and I've said that's not gonna affect our voters at all.
They kind of like that idea, if you told the marshal law by a Democrat,
they'd say we knew it, they're gonna run our lives big government terrible.
I can't believe it though, it's so impressive tyranny,
I'm gonna grab my weapons.
You say martial law by Republicans, like when?
Let's do it, I can't wait.
>> I mean, all we heard over and over again during the Obama administration
was how authoritarian he was due to his executive orders.
So, like just think about that Obama authoritarian due to executive orders,
unilateral action.
But these are the same people who have absolutely no problem with essentially
going against our democratic process.
The will of the American people just to ensure that their side and their favorite
little daddy is able to maintain power in the most undemocratic way, It's sick.
>> Okay, one last thing, why did they need martial law?
Well, because they were gonna put in fake electors who were not at all real
electors, they had them signed fake documents.
These are all it's all on the record, in fact Navarro and Brandon, brag about it.
Navarro wrote a whole book about it.
Okay, so, well, when they bring those to court,
even the Trump appointed justices and judges etcetera were saying,
no, this is absurd, this is not anywhere near legal, right?
In terms of the other cases.
And presumably when they brought the fake electors and
the court would have said that even more stridently to give the court system credit
here because they really held up.
The conservative judges did and so did the Trump judges during 2020, they all
unanimously said Trump has no evidence, everything about their charges relies.
So, when they went to the courts, they would have definitely lost.
That's why they needed military rule to say, we don't care what the courts say,
you're now living under military rule, and we'll do whatever we want and
Trump is president.
And that always turns into president for life.
