And to me, that is the essence of freedom.
uh so i love that we live in a country where anybody could be what they want to be what they believe they are if you take that away from them you're taking away freedom right and so i won't stand for it and that's why i'm actually
kind of corny about being patriotic so as i see the hundreds of problems that america has and i battle them for a living right i still love the core idea of this country that we're all equal that we're all free and that we strive towards justice and you once you start saying we're all free except then we're not free
right so except trans people except muslim people by the way let me come back to that for one second i don't think i finished the thought there what i realized at the end just like you did jennifer is that wait a minute this isn't just random hatred towards muslims it isn't like oh golly gee we picked this religion out of a hat right no it was done so that we could hate israel's enemies
And otherwise, spending $8 trillion on the global war on terror wouldn't have made sense to Americans.
But if you hate Muslims enough, then you'll want to attack Iraq, which at the time the Israeli prime minister said was their number one enemy.
then you'll want to attack Iran, which Israel now says is their number one enemy, which, you know, a bomb, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, Somalia, et cetera, and go, well, remember, it's the dirty Muslims, Muslims, Muslims, Muslims.
We just wiped out all of Israel's enemies for it.
I don't think it was a lucky break at all, okay?
And I say this to right-wingers too, because now I talk to everyone.
I'm going to go talk to Tucker soon.
dr patrick david tim pool all these guys right and i say to them do you mean it when you say you're anti-war do you mean it because it's about to get tested and it's being tested right now and when you say freedom do you really mean it do you mean it for everyone when you say equality do you even believe in that american concept so forcing them into these questions is really really important and and so now to marjorie taylor green so
So what's super important, guys, is that we have to stop thinking in a binary way.
So does Marjorie Taylor Greene still have tons of opinions that I find to be not just wrong, but outrageous?
So, for example, just today, she was like celebrating the January 6th rioters.
I do not celebrate the January 6th riot.
