Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. Last year's election brought a lot of new faces to Washington, D.C.

But, just like that kid at Sleepaway Camp, who keeps wetting the bed, one of them may be going home early. Tonight growing outrage at newly elected representative Marjorie Taylor Green. The noted conspiracy theorist and ardent Trump supporter from Georgia is facing calls to resign and a long-shot bid to expel her from Congress. After a review of her social media found in 2018 and 19 she repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democrats including Speaker Nancy Pelosi. And a widely shared video from 2019 Green declaring Pelosi a traitor

implying she should be executed. It's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason. She's called for the hanging of Barack Obama. She's called for the hanging of Hillary Clinton. Right now, they're trying to expel me from Congress. Yep, they don't like a lot of the things I say and do. They're, you know, it's a witch hunt. Yeah, they don't like the things you said because you called for their execution. They're not looking for a witch hunt.

They're looking to stay alive. I mean, people, what kind of psychopath calls for the execution of America's leaders on Facebook? I mean, at least if you did it on Snapchat, it would be harder to find. Also, the puppy nose makes you seem less crazy. And here's why I take this assassination talk seriously from Marjorie Taylor Green. She's got three names. Assassans always have three names. Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth, Neil Patrick Harris.

That guy kills at every award show. So who is this person that might get expelled from Congress after less than a month? Well, let's get to know her in our brand new segment, Fringe Watching. Meet Marjorie Taylor Green. In Congress, she represents Georgia's 14th district right outside Atlanta. And in life, she represents some views right outside of reality. Marjorie Taylor Green, she won her house race for a district in Northwest Georgia. She has in the past promoted that Q&on conspiracy theory. Q is a patriot.

We know that for sure, but we do not know who Q is. People believe that Q is someone very close to President Trump. According to him, many in our government are actively worshipping Satan, or they call Molok. I mean, is it going to be true tr tr true true true true true true th th th th th th th th th th th th th th their to be their to be to be their thu their thu their their thu their their th. the the the the the. their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the t. t. t. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. Satan, or they call Molok. I mean, is it going to be true that the child pedophilia and the elites and the Washington, D.C.? Is that what we're really going to see come out? Is it going to be satanic worship? Q is in the house of representatives?

Now, Marjorie Taylor Green is hardly the first member of Congress to hold some out-there beliefs. I mean, Ted Cruz believes that beard is working for him. But Q&N is not just extreme, it's delusional, people. How are you going to be in the government and believe that the government is full of Satan worshiping sex predators? I mean, it must be exhausting to be walking around the halls of Congress, just constantly opening doors like, aha! No, no, no, no, no, no, th just, no, no, no, no, no, th just, no, no, th just, th, th, no, thue, thue, thue, thue, thu, thu, thu, thu, thui, thui, thus, thus, thui, thi, thi, thui, I thui, I thui, exhausting to be walking around the halls of Congress, just constantly opening doors like, uh-huh, no, just a supply closet. Gotcha.

No, just a copy room. Bam! No, that's my office, man, I'm so lost. And it's not just Q&ON. In fact, it seems like Green has a conspiracy theory for every letter of the alphabet. The Trump-backing Republican embraces completely false Q and on conspiracy theories. And in a newly uncovered video from 2018, claimed former President Obama is Muslim, the Clintons had JFK Jr. killed and even questioned whether a plane crashed

into the Pentagon on 9-11. It's odd, there's never any evidence shown for a crashed into the Pentagon on 9-11. It's odd, there's never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon. Facebook posts have surfaced in, which Green called the Deadly Parkland High School shooting, fake, along with video showing her harassing Parkland shooting survivor David Hog. Why are you supporting red-fly gun laws that attack our Second Amendment rights? How do you get avid gun owners and people that support the Second Amendment to give up their guns and go along with anti-gun legislation?

How do you do that? Maybe you accomplish that by performing a mass shooting into a crowd that is very likely to be conservative. Is that what happened in Las Vegas? Have you seen the picture of Ruth Bader Gingrich walking to the airport? Yeah, like the body double for Hillary Clinton, so it's interesting.

So. I do not believe that was Ruth. No, I don't think so. I don't need it. Wow. OK, so RBG has a body double, Hillary Clinton has a body double, this one makes it sound like everyone has their own body double. I mean, that's such a silly thing to believe. Yo, the weekend, they're on to us.

Get out of there, man! But the big question is, how did Osama bin Karan get elected to Congress in the first place? Well, it turns out she was tha tha thua thua to to to to to to told, told, told, told, told, told, told, told out out out out out told, told, told, told, too, too, to be to be to be to be tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th....... th.. th... th.... th. th... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. too, too, thi. thi. th th too, too, too, too, too. too too too too too too too too too too too tooo th th tho thooooooo. th th in the first place. Well, it turns out she was lucky to be one of nine Republicans running for the seat, so everyone's attention was spread around instead of focused all on her. Kind of like how there are so many different kinds of Oreo now, that you hardly even noticed that one of the flavors is human flesh. And while some of the Q&N stuff did come out, mostly what voters knew about her was that she was a hardcore Trump supporter and yeah she sometimes sounded like a crazy person but only in a

comforting familiar way. She's a former cross fit gym owner who has had a few roles at her father's construction company but really has no political background at all. America is the greatest country in the world. We need conservatives in Washington that will keep it that way. The Democrat Party is no longer an American party. They are now the party of socialism. They want to rip our borders wide open. They want to kill babies up until birth and maybe even afterwards.

I have a message for Antifa terrorists. Say the hell out of Northwest Georgia. God damn! I know which house I'm skipping on Halloween. And by the way, everyone's freaking out about Green's Q& on beliefs, but if you ask me, the scarier cult she's involved in is crossfit. I mean, that's just scintology with jumping jacks. But yes, aside from the cult stuff,

a lot of Green's beliefs are pretty typical for today's Republicans. But she also has a little extra something that makes the far right love her even more. It's racism. Marjorie Taylor Green also has a track record of incendiary and racist rhetoric. There is an Islamic invasion into our government offices right now. If you want Islam and Sharia law, you stay over there in the Middle East. You stay there and you go to Mecca and do all your thing

and you know what, you can have a whole bunch of wives or goats or sheep or whatever you want. But that doesn't make me a racist because I, just like I say, leave the statue up there. The most mistreated group of people in the United States today are white males. On a now deleted Facebook post, Green questioned whether California's deadly campfire in 2018 was started by lasers, beamed down from outer space. Lasers, she says, somehow connected to the Rothschilds, the Jewish European banking family, the target of some of the

oldest, laziest, most dangerous anti-Semitic trope on the Jewish European banking family, the target of some of the oldest, laziest, most dangerous anti-Semitic troops on the books, Jewish space lasers. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Jewish space lasers? What, is this lady just playing conspiracy slot machine and going with whatever comes up? Because here's my question. If you were secretly starting a forest fire,

why would you use a space laser when you could just use, I don't know, matches? It's such a waste of a Jewish space laser. It's like using the Death Star to make smores. Yes, make sure they're toasty. And honestly guys, if you're anti-Semitic, this is a weird way to try and get people on your side. Because when I hear someone saying, Jews have a sauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. toeee. thu. thu. thu. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to, toe. t. te. teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. te. the. the. th. a weird way to try and get people on your side. Because when I hear someone saying, Jews have a space laser! I'm like, awesome. Can I join? I will say though. It is impressive that Green has some wild racist theory for every group.

I mean, no wonder she got elected. Because she's like, I want to be a Congresswoman for everyone. Whether you hate Jews, blacks, Muslims, or filthy Canadians, I'm on your side. So, that's who Marjorie Taylor Green was before she started threatening to kill Democrats. And her calls for violence are nothing new. While some Republicans only came around to supporting an insurrection after Donald Trump lost the election. Green was rallying the troops even before November 2020. If this generation doesn't stand up and defend freedom, it's gone. Green was rallying the troops even before November 2020. If this generation doesn't stand up and defend freedom, it's gone.

And once it's gone, freedom doesn't come back by itself. The only way you get your freedoms back is it's earned with the price of blood. When we rise up, we can end all of this. We can end it. We can do it peacefully. We can. I hope it doesn't have to, we don't have to do it the the the the other it the other it the other it the other the other the other to do it the other the other the other the other to do it the other the other the other the other to do it the other the other to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it to do it the other to do it this. We can end it. We can do it peacefully. We can. I hope it doesn't have to, we don't have to do it the other way. I hope not. But we should feel like we will if we have to. Okay, no guys, I'm sorry, but calls for a violent revolution just don't have the same weight when you're streaming it from your hotel room. It's time for the people to rise up and take back their freedoms.

Excuse me, can I get another towel please? Because I'm going to the pool. Yeah, thank you so much. Let's spill some blood! No, the cabana will be fine, thank you. So now that all these death threats and conspiracy theories have come to the the their their their their their their their to their their to their their to their their to to their their their their their theories have come to light, Congress is trying to figure out how to deal with Green. Do you censure her? Do you expel her? Do you use a secret Jewish space laser to distract her like a cat? I mean, one thing's for sure.

While Congress tries to decide what to do with her, she's out there getting stuff done herself. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, calling on President Biden to be impeached. Just filed articles of impeachment on President Joe Biden. We'll see how this goes. What a letdown. Marjorie Taylor Green came to Washington calling for executions and a few weeks later she's already settling for impeachment. Man I guess Congress will turn anyone into a moderate. But you know what? I have a conspiracy theory of my own. I think Marjorie Taylor Green is secretly a Democrat. Yeah, no, think about it. She's making

Republicans look unhinged. She's from Georgia, which we all know is a blue state, and she's a member of Congress, which she herself believes is a satanic demonic cult. Now, if I'm correct, and Marjorie Taylor Green is a Democrat, well, that's great news for everyone, because that would be the only way that Republicans would actually want to hold her accountable for anything she's done. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient-to-bread

ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. Marjorie Taylor Green, Georgia Congresswoman and your crazy aunt's even crazier friend. Since her shocking rise from Q and on forums to the House of Representatives, Green has become notorious for her willingness to say absolutely anything with zero shame, with its conspiracies about 9-11 or the existence of Jewish space lasers, which is ridiculous. I mean, everyone knows that the Jewish space laser was taken out by the Buddhist submarine missiles years ago. But now, MTG is admitting that some of her recent comments

might have gone too far. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green is apologizing for comparing COVID restrictions to the horroes of the Holocaust. She previously compared mask mandates to the Nazis forcing Jews to wear yellow stars. Her apology came after visiting the Holocaust Museum. I have made a mistake and it's really bothered me for a couple of weeks now. And so I definitely want to own it. The horrors of the Holocaust are something that some people don't even believe happened,

and some people deny, but there is no comparison to the Holocaust. And there are words that I have said and remarks that I've made that I know are offensive. And for that, I want to apologize. Going to the Holocaust Museum was just a good reflection. And it was good to look and see things there. And one of the things I was reminded of is how terrible their policies were. Yo guys, America isn't serious, man.

This woman writes the laws, the laws that govern the land, and she's out here like, yo, you guys heard about this Holocaust? Shit's wild. I mean, for real, though, are we going to get a press conference every time Marjorie Taylor Green learns about something? Because she doesn't know about a lot of things. It has come to my attention that

putting metal in a microwave makes the microwave go boom boom boom. I think it's important to acknowledge that. But I will say in some ways I feel bad for this lady man. Learning things is tough, you know because it forces you to take back all the ignorant shit that you've said in the past. It's why the only museum I go to is Madame Toussard's. Madam Tussard's, come stupid, leave stupid. A little over a year ago, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building in an attempt to stop the election from being certified. And they wanted to declare Donald Trump super president forever no backsees. Now what was surprising is that by and large the Republican Party has decided not to hold any of that against Donald Trump. And I mean, let's be honest, how can you

stay mad at this face? How could you stay mad at this face? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the Capitol Riot wasn't even the scariest thing that happened on January 6th. Because, you see, my friends, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we th, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we're, we're th, we're th, we're now, we're now, we're now, we're now, th, th, th, th th that, that, thi, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, by thi, by th is th, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, by, th is th is th is th is th is th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi the scariest thing that happened on January 6th. Because you see, my friends, we're now finding out that something else happened that day. Countless Republicans seem to have had their memories erased. But as worried as I am for those guys, people I am really concerned about Marjorie Taylor Green. Congresswoman from Georgia and Soccer Mom, who's definitely slatched the other team's bus tires.

You see, a few of MTG's constituents have filed a lawsuit to disqualify her from Congress based on her role in January 6th. Yeah, apparently, there's something in the Constitution that says you can't run for office if you do an insurrection against the government. You know how people are crazy ideas back then. And now look, we all know it's probably not going to work, but Marjorie Taylor Green was still forced to testify at a hearing on Friday.

And it looks like nobody has been hit harder by January 6th than her. You didn't talk to anybody in government about the fact that there were going to be large protests in Washington on January 6th. I don't remember. You spoke to Representative Biggs or his staff about that fact, didn't you? I do not remember. How about Representative Gosar? I'm sorry, I don't remember.

Did anyone ever mention to you the possibility that there might be violence in Washington? I don't remember. Ms. Green, this is a tweet that you sent out on January 2, 2021, correct? I'm not sure. Okay, you don't recall this? I don't recall tweeting that, no. Did you advocate to President Trump to impose martial law as a way to remain in power? I don't recall.

You don't recall if you wanted to impose martial law? You don't, wow! I wish I had Marjorie Taylor Green's memory. Yeah, I once said, enjoy your dinner to a waiter in 2003, and I still think about it every day. Every day. Enjoy your dinner. You enjoy your dinner. Kill me!

Meanwhile, she can't even remember if she told the president to impose martial law. to the president to impose martial law. theyo, yo, let me tell you something to impose martial law. If you ever asked the president to impose martial law, you would never forget something that specific. Like, if to to to to do to do thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiolomea, tho, thi, thi, thiolomea, tho, tho, enjoy thoomomomoomoe. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their to impose martial law, you would never forget something that specific. Like, if anyone can't say no to doing something that specific and weird, you definitely did that shit. Um, I, uh, have I ever tried to steal a horse and, uh, ride it inside a bouncy castle?

Um, your honor, I do not recall. But you gotta admit that sounds like something a pretty cool guy would do, right? Right? Members of the jury, right? Yeah. But if it's not cool, then I do not recall. Yeah. I don't remember. So, Marjorie Taylor Green spent the entire hearing denying that she had any memory of anything to do with January 6th.

But it turns out, my friends, that they may be a cure to this amnesia because one thing that can bring it back, even if just for a little bit is evidence. And in another moment, Taylor Green first denied that she had called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a trader to her country before kind of hedging a little bit when faced with actual evidence of saying it. In fact, you think that Speaker Pelosi is a traitor to the country, right? You're not answering that question, it's speculation. You've said that, haven't you, Ms. Green, that she's a traitor to the country?

No, I haven't said that. Okay. Put up the plaintiff's exhibit five, please. Oh, no, wait. Hold on now. Oh, no, no, wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. No, no, no. No, no. Now that you busted me, I remember the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, yeah, I remember it now. I remember it now. I love that move. Yes, that's when you tell your mom, yeah,

yeah, I did my homework, and she's like, oh, yeah, no, thank you so much for that Look man, I mean clearly this person is unqualified for Congress All right because politicians are supposed to be good at line. Okay, this was just embarrassing Okay, in my defense, I didn't know you had evidence. I mean, I never have evidence for the stuff I say. I didn't even know that was a thing you could do. Keep in mind, people. This stuff only happened a little over a year ago. It's not like they're being asked to remember their prom dates, eye color. These aren't trick questions. But nobody in the Republican Party can seem to remember planning the insurrection, or talking about it, or even how they felt about it at the time. Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Taylor Green, Jim Jordan, the list goes on and on.

Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show with Johnthe weekend, conservatives gathered in Texas, all right, to raise awareness for just how badly the January 6th rioters are being treated. And the way they did this was they held a very special tribute that is very moving and not at all hilarious.

The insurrection fallout is front and center at CPAC. This year's most buzzed about booths is this, a fake jail cell. What you're watching actually happened at CPAC. It features a convicted January 6th rioter doing performance art in a cage wearing an orange jumpsuit. Visitors were offered headsets so they could listen to interviews with jail January 6th defendants while watching the actor weep. Some viewers wept along with him. Others threw money into the cage. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green entered the cell to pray with him. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, just wait.

Wait. Okay, just wait. Help me understand the logic. Marjorie Taylor Green is praying for a fake prisoner? No, this is a real thing. She's like, serious. Who is this lady? Marjorie Taylor Green is praying for a fake prisoner? No, this is a real thing. She's like, seriously.

Who is this lady? Like, America, you understand. This is a person who's actually part of running your country. She's in there mourning with a fake, praying for, like, how does she function in the world? It's a fake person. She must have the hardest time at Broadway shows. They killed Hamilton! Ha! Ah! Ah! Ha! Ah! I mean, I guess in her defense, this actor in the lobby of the CPAC Conventional really committed to the role? Because apparently, he spent hours in that jail cell weeping, the whole time, just weeping. Which in a way is a powerful performance art, because isn't that what conservatism

has turned to in America, right? It's just just people in mega hats acting like their victims. There's fewer white people now than they used to be. But we still have all the power. Oh! Oh! Oh. By the way, the part that made me laugh the hardest was how people were throwing money into the cage. Like, what what is that? What is the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, the only, th, th, the the, the th- th- th- thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, is, thi. There, is thi. There is the. There is the. There's, is the. There is the. There's the. There's the. There's the. There's the was how people were throwing money into the cage. Like, what is that? It's like the only way they know how to interact with art is the same way they interact

with strippers, you know? Just like, your freedom has been stolen from you. Shake that ass. Just shake that ass. Now, you would think a story like this couldn't get any crazier. But truly, the best part of the story is this actor who played the defendant was an actual rioter on January 6th, who reportedly avoided a prison sentence by snitching on the other rioters. Yeah, so just so you understand, this dude is pretending to be a prisoner that he helped send to prison. Which is insane, you snitched on your fellow rioters. They go to jail, and now you're out in the streets crying, man, I wish there was something I could have done to stop them from going to jail. I wish there's something I could have got. This is wild.

In other exciting news, Marjorie Taylor Green, aka Capital Storming Barbie, hates her job, which is so funny because the rest of us also hate her having her job. Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. The nature of this job. It keeps members of Congress and Senators in Washington so much of the time, too much of the time, to be honest with you, that we don't get to go home and spend more time with our families, our friends, you know, all in our district or maybe just be regular people because this job is so demanding and it's turned into practically year around. people because this job is so demanding and it's turned into practically year-round. First of all, you're not a regular person, you moron. You're a Congress person because

you campaigned and somehow won, which requires you to work year-round. I also don't want to work year-round and that's why I don't. To quote Kim K. For a second. Get your fucking ass up and work! The point is, if you don't like being in Congress, then go work at footlocker, bitch. But that's not even the worst part of what she said. This is, I have people come up to me and say crazy things to me out of the blue and public places that they believe because they read it on the internet. Well if that's not the pot calling the kettle Q& on.

This woman thought 9-11 was a hoax that the Clintons killed JFK Jr. and that Jews are in charge of space lasers. But please, don't come at her with some. This woman thought 9-11 was a hoax that the Clintons killed JFK Jr. and that Jews are in charge of space lasers. But please, don't come at her with some crazy ideas. She might believe them. Let's move on to Washington, D.C., where Congress yesterday held hearings on COVID-s. With testimony from Teachers Union President Randy Weingarden. And I think we can agree that this is an entirely reasonable subject for

rational debate. That is, of course, unless Q and on Karen is involved. Ms. Weingarden, are you a mother? I am a mother by marriage. By marriage, I see. And my wife is here with me so I'm really glad that she's here. What I'd like to talk about is your recommendations to the CDC as not a medical doctor, not a biological mother, and really not a teacher. People like you need to admit that you're just a political activist. Not a teacher, not a mother, and not a medical doctor. Jesus, what the hell was that about? Listen, Marjorie, you don't get to decide who's a mother or not.

That job exclusively belongs to gay MTG dissing stepmother's because this woman has the most stepmom energy I have ever seen. Remember that white coat? Okay, that is not the coat you wear when you're a mom. That's the coat you wear when you're fucking someone's dad.
