Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of
those lawmakers who thinks that we
need to watch videos of her
workouts.
I don't know when this became
a thing with politicians, but
I wish it hadn't.
And so today she had tweeted this.
This is my COVID protection
#MakeAmericaHealthyAgain.
It's time to fire Fauci.
And embedded in that tweet,
was the goofy video that you
are about to watch right now.
>> So there are two issues at play
here, Brett.
Issue number one is what I already
brought up.
Politicians posting videos or
people in general honestly posting
videos of themselves working out,
which we'll get to in a minute.
But we also need to
discuss the fact that CrossFit is
snake oil and there have been some
negative comments about her so
called form in that video.
But according to CrossFit,
her form is A okay.
Harming your back and
your rotator cuffs is great in
the battle against COVID, according
to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
>> I love it, it's basically like,
I love CrossFit, a friend of mine
lived across the street from
a CrossFit gym for a while.
And it is just clanking and
grunting and sad rope thuds,
that thing.
And it's herky jerks like that.
I haven't really learned anything
more about CrossFit than that.
I've watched the championship,
it's fantastic.
But they always have this
base level of it where human beings
evolved and
then it's something that is somehow
related to human being evolution.
This one is like,
so the only real way to burn
calories is to do kind of
stuff you do when fighting a bear.
You just push the bear and then you
like rat grapple with the bear.
You grab its legs and
you fling them all around.
And just the violence with which
she drops it can't be good and
then this it's just flailing.
This is it.
I am bad at working out and so I'll
just randomly convulse to be like,
there's gotta be some
calories going away.
And you'd think after all of this,
she'd be done with the crazy,
like she'd get it out.
>> [LAUGH] Such a good point.
>> How does she still have
the energy to be annoying?
>> [LAUGH] She's got
endless it's at well,
it's because she's not working.
I mean, she was kicked off of her
committee assignments because she's
an advocate for violence against
her political opponents.
So she's got some free time,
why not engage in this and
also do other lunatic stuff?
But I guess I have, I love our
members and our viewers and I know
that some of them are probably
CrossFit aficionados and
I don't want them to feel offended
at my commentary, okay?
Just know that I love you guys and
people have different
preferences and
please don't take this personally.
Some of my good friends are
CrossFit aficionados, [LAUGH] okay?
I think those workouts are stupid.
I think that they damage your body.
And I think that despite
the incessant argument that it does
not make women bulky.
I think it makes women bulky.
There, I said it,
I don't care, I said it.
And look if you're into that look,
If you're into that look,
all the power to you,
some women love that.
And I think that's great, but
this is what I don't like.
I don't want to be,
I don't like bulky.
I like toned, I like lean.
I love a dancer's body, right?
Everyone's got their preferences
and I've always really loved
the long, lean muscle tone of
a dancer's body.
So sometimes when someone who loves
CrossFit gets into a debate with me
about it, they'll be like no man,
you don't know, you don't know.
You're not going to get bulky
because you're a woman.
Women don't get bulky.
Women don't have testosterone.
But every time I see women who, and
I'm not saying she's bulky,
I'm not really talking about her.
But I'm talking about actual,
they do CrossFit religiously.
No, they're bulky though, guys.
Come on, don't lie to me.
They are, they got big muscles.
They got giant glutes,
giant thighs, giant arms.
And that's for them, great.
That's what they're going for,
all the power to them.
If I don't want that for me, don't
tell me that that won't happen to
me if I do CrossFit or if I start
doing like intense weight training.
I guess this has been
really killing me internally and
I'm glad I get to take it out.
>> Ana, you don't get it though,
you have to do what I say.
It'll free you up.
You don't understand the freedom of
doing exactly what I tell you to do
in ways that you've already
expressed you are averse to and
would suffer great pain from.
There is no way that's good for
your joints, dude.
>> After a workout,
have some beers.
>> [LAUGH] That was stupid.
>> [LAUGH] No, and you're right,
that can't be good for you.
I don't care if it's perfect form
in the CrossFit world,
I'm not buying it.
It might work out some muscles, but
you're also doing some damage.
So I'm putting that out there.
I'm putting it out there.
You can't change my mind
about that.
And again, I really want to
reiterate, I don't think that it's
bad that other people want to look
a certain way, but everyone has
their preferences, right?
So I prefer a certain body type for
me.
I don't want anyone to get
offended by that.
But with that said, it makes a lot
of sense that Marjorie Taylor
Greene would be a fan of CrossFit.
Because I think the other part
of it is the people who are super
into CrossFit are almost cultish
about it.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene does
gravitate toward cults- >> I was
thinking the exact same thing.
>> Right- >> Exact same thing.
>> It's perfect for her.
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty much it
with her. >> Yeah,
I agree because what it does is
it pulls everybody toward it.
It's so strange,
the overlapping aspects of, whoa,
no, you don't understand.
If you look into specific aspects
listed in our DNA, which is the
same as a code, which is- [LAUGH]
>> What QAnon people are all about.
I'm glad you said it, because yes,
it's 100% absolutely a cult.
And not everyone who's involved in
it is cultish.
But I think that there's
there's a lot to it.
The intensity that people have is
undeniable surrounding stuff
like that.
>> Yeah, and look, look,
grand scheme of things.
If you're out there, you know,
being active,
you're getting physical activity,
that's great.
And so, I would
prefer that than not getting any
physical activity at all.
But just please take care of your
backs and your joints because
that does not look good for you.
So the other part of it Brett is
the political people posting their
workouts and
this is not a partisan issue.
Tulsi Gabbard was notorious for
doing this.
We have some B roll of her,
one of the workouts,
one of the many workouts that she
posted on Twitter.
And the thirst trap videos played
well with the Michael Tracy's of
the world.
So I get it, I totally get it.
But I just don't care about
politicians and their workouts.
I don't want to know about
that part of their lives,
whether it's a man or a woman.
Even if it's a hot male politician,
I don't want to see you
workout, bro.
I want health care, I want you to
do your job, I don't care about how
your you're getting it in.
You're making sure,
you're making yourself sweat.
You are a hard worker,
you're getting healthy every day.
I don't care.
I don't care. I don't care at all.
>> And didn't
Marjorie Taylor Greene say
something like this is how I fight.
This is my COVID protection.
It's like that's not,
that's exactly it.
Her tweet is word for word,
this is my COVID protection,
make America healthy again.
It's time to fire Fauci.
That is not COVID protection,
you total moron.
That is wrong.
>> Exactly, I mean, I didn't even
touch on that because I felt like
it didn't even need to be said.
You had professional athletes
getting pretty sick with COVID.
I was reading about one athlete who
died, not a well known one, but
a professional athlete died from
COVID.
Physical activity,
it could be good for you.
If you've been physically active,
if you have a good health standing,
and you get COVID,
you're less likely to die from it.
That's certainly true. But working
out isn't going to protect you from
Coronavirus.
And yeah,
she puts out that misinformation,
which is unsurprising coming
from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Look, the only workout that I ever
cared about in the political world
was that of the late Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, who in the final years of
her life detailed what her workouts
were like, I'll remind you all of
what that was.
Take a look.
>> I have a personal trainer who
keeps me in shape.
We meet twice a week.
And we do it in the evening.
And we do 20 push ups.
We do 10 and then I breathe,
take a deep breath, and
then do 10 more.
>> On your knees or the real?
>> No, no, no, real.
And then the plank,
which I think is harder, and
that's for 30 seconds.
And I kind of sink down and
then we do another 30 seconds.
So that mattered because of obvious
reasons.
She was a Supreme Court justice,
who was in her elderly age during
the Trump administration and
people wanted to know whether or
not she was healthy.
And so the context mattered in
this case.
But just randomly posting videos of
yourself working out as a young
member of Congress is just being
a Chad.
It's just like no one cares.
Leave that to Hassan, okay?
You're a United States Congress
person, do your job.
Don't care about your workouts.
So that's where I
stand on that issue.
>> One last thing, I'll add.
I have a different justification
for people not doing this anymore.
It's not because it's annoying.
It's not because it flies in
the face of science.
It's just that you'll never do it
better than Al Gore and Bill
Clinton in little booty shorts.
Did I pull it up on PlayoutBee?
Yes, I did pull it up on
PlayoutBee.
So if we want to show that.
Those two gentlemen.
>> My God. >> Not only going for
a walk.
They're all out with probably
a ball out.
Just look at those milky creamy
high.
He's got high thighs.
First, because everyone reads
from left to right,
on the left you see Gore.
And you're like, all right,
those are some pretty short,
what the, goodness gracious me.
I can see inside Bills Clinton.
And then the best part,
I think that we don't want to.
They are holding McDonald's.
>> My God, that's so true.
I didn't even realize that until
you pointed it out.
>> Stay healthy, guys.
>> That's what a lot of people do
to be honest.
Your diet has a lot more to do with
like your weight, and your health.
It's good to work out,
but if you're just working out to
lose weight,
you're going to have a tough time.
You got to eat healthy.
That's a huge part of the equation.
I'm going to say that I like
the short shorts on guys.
I think they look cute.
Even in that context,
yes, I said it.
I think they look cute.
>> Yeah,
those guys are- >> [INAUDIBLE]
emphasize- >> After a workout,
have some beers.
>> I'm uncomfortable
with seeing the tip
of Al Gore's penis very clearly.
[LAUGH] I know it's right there,
it's right there and it's so
inappropriate.
[CROSSTALK] >> Short shorts
[LAUGH].
>> We're trying to cut back
back that mention.
Behind them, too,
is the secret service guy.
That's a secret service guy forced
to blend in [LAUGH].
>> Was this the thing in the 90s?
I don't remember.
>> No, this isn't a thing in
the 90s.
In the 90s it was a time when your
dad wore shorts like this.
My dad loved shorts like that.
He would get so
mad at how long my shorts were.
And then because for me, it's the
really long one's past your knee.
I had a complex where if it went
down if it didn't cover my knee,
I felt really weird about it.
That's it.
>> Yeah, I remember that
in the 90s, don't
remember the short shorts even with
fathers like wearing them.
I don't remember that.
But short shorts among men,
it's definitely made a comeback in
recent years.
So we have that to look forward to,
guys.
With everything falling apart,
at least we have males
in short shorts.
