Episode Date: June 25, 2025

Tim and Sam dissect Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest deranged fever dream, featuring Jesus, JFK, conspiracies, and a whole lot of unhinged energy. Yes, it’s a real tweet.

Hey everybody, Tim Miller from the Bulwark here with managing editor Sam Stein. Sam wasn't that busy this afternoon. Wanted to do a few videos with me and I'm cool with that. And I like doing videos. I like talking to y'all and he sent some ideas. And one of the ideas he sent was how about we do a video on MTG blaming the Jews for killing JFK. Yeah.

And I got to tell you that one, it kind of just glazed on past my eyes. Like, isn't that the problem? Yeah. Do you know, I don't know if it is, but I just, you know, when MTG does a tweet that's longer than the 280 characters, that's just kind of a scroll pass for me. I am coming in this blind. I don't, all I know is the context you have given that apparently she blamed the Jews for killing JFK.

I don't know why she did. And I want you to educate Okay, I mean, let's do it this way. I'll just go through the tweet and you stop me when you have thoughts Okay, here we go I'll see you make a compelling point that they should never have scrapped the limit the character limit at Twitter and nothing good happens after 280 nothing good that happens after 140. I like the 280. I liked the 280 update Well, it made you think if you did 140. All right.

Our Marjorie Taylor Greene responding to Mark Levin, who called her stupid and said she kept banging her head against the wall because she was against the president's actions in Iran. This is what Marjorie Taylor Greene had to say in response from her official. Just really quick, Mark Levin, for real. I don't know. He went by the great one. He was talking radio host to kind of like, uh, road and Sean Hannity's wake.

He has a strong neocon and there's been this huge fight going on between Levin who's been much more like pro regime change, MAGA and kind of the isolation is MAGA and so there's, there's been a lot of infighting, a lot of monkeys throwing poop at each other. It's any way that's going to the backstory of why. And the other backstory is that- ... with MTG are going at each other. And the other backstory is, unlike, I will give her some credit, I suppose, unlike other

MAGA non-interventionists, Marjorie Taylor Greene has stuck to it and she's not found some post-hoc rationalization for supporting Trump bombing Iran. She's been like against, okay, here we go. You don't ever have to end it, MTG. Okay, here we go, MTG. ever have to end it. MGA. Okay. Here we go. MTJ. Let's read the tweet. Quote, this is extremely sick and disturbing. Please read to the end.

Mark, Mark, you have the exact same tone of language that the psychopaths used that send me death threats every single day. You should be fired from Fox news and shame on Fox. If they condone this, let me introduce you to my friend Jesus Like so Markov in his Jewish, I assume I don't actually know though. Oh wait, he's Jewish. It's a very Jewish surname Markov in one of three boys born in Philly to a Jewish family Here we go mark of in one of three boys born in philly to a jewish family There you go. So there you go went to temple didn't know that go owls. All right, continue. Wait, which temple?

I'm just joking Actually, no, you're right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, he did both He involved a temple temple. It looks like maybe a high school and okay in law school Okay, jewish temple and temple temple. All right. Here we go. Keep it going Uh, let me introduce my friend jesus He said quote blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the children of God Jesus is the Messiah Jesus is the one and only Son of God Jesus would put to death on a Roman cross and died as One time sacrifice for our sins. Jesus is the Lamb of God. You can read about Jesus in Isaiah 53 5-12 It seems like there's a little like kind of just a little subtext about the Jews killing Jesus also a

Little that's the text man It's like hey your people killed my guy got it Jesus will return one day and The those that did not recognize him. That's a type on her part Will mourn he will bring everlasting peace to all the earth and his kingdom will have no end Jesus also says pray for your enemies. I will bring everlasting peace to all the earth and his kingdom will have no end. Jesus also says, pray for your enemies. I will do my best to pray for you, but I will be. This is still a tweet. We're still doing it.

It's still going. Okay. This is like a biblical verse, but I will be watchful now. I don't know what that means. Uh, there was once a great president that the American people loved. He opposed Israel's nuclear program and And then he was assassinated. That was just dropped into the middle of it. At first I thought he was talking about, she was talking about Trump.

I was like, Trump opposed the Israel nuclear program. No, I was assassinated. So is that a common theory? The JFK was assassinated by the Jews. Honestly, it's the first time I've, it's the first time I've heard it, but I have to admit it makes sense. Is that the end of the tweet or does it keep going? No, no, it keeps going, but I will.

I kind of want to hear what's, wait, hold on. What's right out. Can we just read the sentence before and after the JFK thing? I just need a little more context. All right. Backing up a little bit. Jesus also says, Jesus says, pray for your enemies. I will do my best to pray for you, but I will be watchful.

Now there was once a great president that the American people loved. He opposed Israel's nuclear program and then he was assassinated. I am for peace. I oppose war, including wars, Israel wages. Should I feel that my life is in danger now too? What about president Trump who strongly rebuked? So that's kind of an implication there then that MTG is suggesting that maybe she should be worried that the Jews might kill her.

That's not an implication. She's directly saying, I should I be worried that the Jews might come from me with, she didn't say it, but with their space lasers. So then it finishes with what about president Trump who strongly rebuked Israel this morning for continuing to attack Iran? Ooh, boy. Um, it looks like, uh, the Jewish Zionists, Masad conspiracies about JFK. And I'm sure they go back a while, but they've been kind of re animated.

Yeah. This recent kind of release of materials. Oh my God. Yeah. I'm reading the replies right now to her tweet and boy. Yeah. I guess there's some, I guess in the JFK documents there was Some references design is I'm not going down this. Yeah, I don't want to I don't know

Thank you on this but it is but you do have I guess I'll just say this if you Google JFK killed by Jews. The first thing that comes up is a PDF on the NSA.gov. I'm glad we just recklessly started putting all this stuff on the website, on NSA.gov, which says, President Kennedy's assassination as ionist conspiracy, question mark. So, you know, I didn't go through all of these documents. I don't know exactly which one it is, but that's dated November 25th, 63. So, you know, it goes back a ways.

This is how they catch you in the conspiracy theories. Just one Google. I have very unsusceptible to JFK's conspiracy theories. I had Rob Reiner who like has very strong views about inside job style. And he did a whole podcast on it. Good. See like an Oliver stone type. Yeah.

Entertaining good podcast. I recommend it. If you're into JFK stories, I forget what it. Good. All of her stone type. Yeah. Entertaining good podcast. I recommend it. If you're into JFK stories, I forget what it's called. You can just Google it. Rob Ryan or JFK podcast. And I listened to all of it because I knew I'd be at a dinner with him and I wanted to be prepped. And I kind of made a little joke about it. Wrong thing to joke about like 20 minute rabbit hole of Rob Ryan or like just like tell it. And his wife is looking at me like, why'd you do this? But then she was also going to matter. Meek.

She was like, you don't believe them. You didn't, you listen to the podcast. Why did you need to follow up? It was so clear. So anyway, um, I'm, I'm, I'm neutral on the J on all of that. I can't imagine Rob Reiner, Rob Reiner, he didn't believe it on the Jews to be clear and I'm not even saying his views are conspiracy. I'm just saying he had a, he had a very strongly held view on, on, on what might've been a foot.

We'll leave it at that. I don't want to know more. We never bring it up at dinner. I know enough to like not bring that shit up. But if I ever had dinner with MTG, I, and I don't plan to, but I will, I will, I will confront her on this because I think our people haven't dared enough and I don't plan to, but I will, I will, I will confront her on this. Cause I think our people haven't dirt enough and I don't, I don't feel like we need to be blamed for the Kennedy assassination. Okay.

We got enough shit going on. I agree with him. Well, what a, what a show. Um, there you go guys. Subscribe to the feed. This is the only place where you can get material like this. All right. Is this happening on the other, you don't CNN YouTube feed.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure there's a plenty of YouTube around Kennedy conspiracies. This is a little bit. That's true. It's it's I don't I don't suspect they're quite as affable and you know, as, as, as we are, I think a little bit more faux serious.
