Inside The DC Prison Housing ‘J6 Prisoners’: Congresswoman Greene Recounts What She Saw

This right here is Ms. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a congresswoman from the state of Georgia. She's the one whose home was raided by the police multiple times because a trans activist was prank calling the cops and sending them to her house. We actually discussed that incident in a previous episode. However, her difficulties are not only limited to having armed police squadrons show up in her home in the middle of the night. That's because Marjorie Taylor Greene has, for one, been a vocal critic of the treatment that January 6th prisoners have experienced, which at times includes 18-plus months of solitary confinement. And secondly, she has been pushing back against the trans ideology within the halls of Congress, something that has actually gotten her office vandalized multiple times by staff members of Democratic congressmen who don't agree with her. And so amidst all this as the backdrop, while I was over in Texas, I took the opportunity to sit down with Congresswoman Greene, and here's what she told me. Congresswoman Greene, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. So I wanted to start by mentioning, so in that documentary that was recently published, the real story of January 6th, for it, I had a phone interview with Jake Lang, who's been in solitary confinement 18 months now since, well, January 16th, 10 days after January 6th, pending trial. So he's been in solitary confinement, awaiting a trial, which will happen next year. What do you make of that? Besides him, there's about 40 or 50 other people who are suffering the same fate. What do you make of that? I just think it's so sad. Myself and Congressman Louie Gohmert were the only two Republican members of Congress that went into the jail and saw the men being held there in the D.C. jail. Now there's others being held across the country, but that's the only one that we were able to get into. And I will say, there's a lot of other Republican members of Congress that want to go, and I have a request in with the mayor of D.C. and the jail to go in for a tour, and they are not even responding to us. So it's tragic. But what they're going through is real political persecution. There is no reason for what's happening to them. They didn't commit a crime that was any worse, especially than the Antifa BLM rioters, right? But no, the way the Democrats are handling this is they are purposely abusing them, purposely persecuting them to send a message to every single other American that if you ever question us or stand up against us, this is what will happen to you, and that should never happen in America. What did you see when you were able to go in? I have that seared in my memory. I'll never forget it. But the entire jail was heartbreaking to me—not just the January 6th defendants, but many other areas of the jail were heartbreaking, because this is where people are there because they committed crimes and they're serving out their time, and so it's not a good place, no matter what. But the January 6th wing, when the doors were open and we walked in and we went into this common area, they heard us come in. The men just all started coming out, and the minute they saw me, they just broke into cheers and applause, but they also were crying. There's the brokenness. What they looked like was—I don't know, I almost don't have words to describe it. They hadn't had haircuts. They weren't clean. They hadn't shaved. They were dirty. But their spirits are broken. Their spirits are completely broken, and they're forgotten, and they feel that way. They haven't seen their families since they've been there. They can hardly talk to their attorneys, and they truly, truly feel like no one loves them. But when we came in and they saw us, it was like hope for the first time in their eyes. I wish the whole world could see it. I really do. But the words that they spoke, the things that they said, and they truly love our country. Now, some of them really did bad things. Of course, I don't disagree with them being arrested or charged, but they do deserve a fair trial. They deserve their due process rights. They don't deserve for this to be drug out. Their families don't deserve this. None of it should be happening this way. They should be treated fairly. Every single person should in America, they should be treated fairly when they're charged with something. But they're not. They're not being treated fairly, and they know it. In those cases, a lot of times the judges have such broad discretion for punishment. I looked into a number of those cases because I was wondering, how could they justify keeping these people locked up before trial for this long? They were saying, well, there are flight risks, there are dangers to society, etc. Again, in my non-legal opinion, it doesn't seem to be the fact. But let me ask you this. The polls show that very likely the Republicans will take back the House come November. If that were to happen, do you foresee any type of hearing or committee being formed to investigate how these prisoners were treated? I definitely want one. I'll lead that cause. I will lead it. But I believe other Republicans will join me. I really do. Not our entire conference. There's a lot of Republicans that won't go near this issue, and I think that's wrong, because it's important to Republican voters. People come up to me nonstop. They write letters. They call my office and thank me for caring about them and caring about this issue. But yeah, our Republican conference, when we have the majority, we have to be a different Republican-controlled majority than ever before. We have to be fearless. We have to be willing to take up the issues and investigate the causes and be willing to pass bills that Republicans in the past wouldn't do, because we've seen who the Democrats are. They have shown us who they are. They are communists. They are godless. They will abuse their power just to get their way politically. And because we know that, we cannot be a fearful Republican Party that just tries to just stay with the easy mainstream issues. No, we can fix the economy. We can stop this inflation. We can solve the crime problems. We can secure the border. We can put American energy back on track again. But if we are a Republican majority that won't investigate and stop the abuse of January 6th political prisoners, if we're a Republican majority that won't stand up and protect children from this horrible lie that they can change your gender and hormones and puberty blockers and genital mutilation surgeries, mastectomies for teenage girls, castration for teenage boys—if that's too controversial for Republicans in Congress, then they've lost their way, and they are not representing their voters. Do you want to know something? That would be a tragedy, because guess what? Our voters would show us in 2024 that they're not satisfied. We can't do that. Our whole country cannot afford it. So we have to prove it. We have to do a good job. You were talking about broadly affording it, but in terms of, let's say, the national debt, officially it's sitting around $30 trillion. But if you add unfunded liabilities, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc., I've seen estimates as high as $160 trillion. Of course. Before coming to Congress, you ran a business before. Yes. So you know that you can't run that kind of a tab forever. No. But what do you foresee? Because whether it's a Republican-led House, Senate administration, Democrat-led, it seems like that number is just ballooning and spiraling out of control no matter what. Do you see any possible way for that to not happen? Is there any political will? There is, and I am happy to tell you that. Kevin McCarthy has been saying, we've got to work on this deficit. We have to get our budget under control. It's the mandated spending year after year after year is also so, so bad. So we have to. We have to be a Republican majority that takes on these hard issues, because let's be honest, we're like a sinking ship. We're like the Titanic that is literally sinking and everyone's up on the top deck having a party. And it's crazy. And being a business owner and being just a normal American that got crazy enough to run for Congress, no, no, for real, if we don't address these issues, we're just handing a catastrophe and a failure to our children and our grandchildren. And what kind of people are we to do that? It's our responsibility. We have to do it. All right. The sponsor of today's episode is a phenomenal company called AMAC. That's A-M-A-C, and it stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens. They are quite literally one of the fastest growing conservative organizations in all of America. And you should consider joining for three main reasons. The first is the money saving benefit, because as a member of AMAC, you get access to a ton of discounts at many different verticals. Things like vitamin stores, restaurants, retail shops, and so on and so forth. If you want to check out the full list, it's pretty exhaustive. You can do so over on AMAC's website. The second benefit is that you get exclusive access to the AMAC magazine. It'll be delivered directly to your doorstep, and it contains phenomenal coverage as well as deep analysis. And then the third benefit, the one that people say is their favorite, is that AMAC fights for your values over on Capitol Hill. In fact, you can check out the online version of this on their website. It's the AMAC Action Advocacy Annual Report, and it shows exactly what they're doing on Capitol Hill in terms of fighting what they call the socialist storm that's brewing in this country. So head on over to amac.us forward slash facts matter and sign up today. I'll also throw a link down in the description box below. Sort of vignette that has been playing out in the halls of Congress between you and a Congress member from, I believe it's Massachusetts, right? They have a chief of staff who tore down your poster, then you put up a picture. Can you sort of set the stage for the audience for what's been happening? Yeah, it's a lot deeper than that. So Congressman Jake Auchincloss, he's a Democrat. His chief of staff, his name is Tim Hysom. Tim Hysom, being the highest level of his staff, was arrested by Capitol Police for vandalizing, being caught on camera vandalizing and stealing—he'd been doing it for months—a sign outside my office. And I have a sign there, and it happened after my colleague across the hall, Marie Newman, she put out a trans flag when we were fighting on the equality bill. And I put up a sign that said, there's only two genders, male and female, trust the science. And that sign gets attacked all the time. But it was Tim Hysom, Jake Auchincloss' chief of staff, caught by Capitol Police, arrested, and the charges were sent to the Department of Justice. Jake Auchincloss has refused to fire him. He's refused to do anything to him. And he's attacking me on my gender and my religion. That's the way he attacks that sign. And Tim Hysom is married to another man, so he's obviously offended by my sign. And he's also the former district director for Adam Schiff. So you can see the type of political leaning that they have. No one is apologizing for him. As a matter of fact, they're accusing me of creating a toxic work environment, when in reality, they have created a dangerous work environment for me, because I have death threats. I am constantly attacked, and I'm being attacked for my gender and my religion, based on my freedom of speech and my statement. And they have no apologies. And then also, I want you to know this. Tim Hysom and Jake Auchincloss' staff, they're the ones that let in the Stephen Colbert film crew. They're the staff that let them in the House buildings. And they were targeting Kevin McCarthy's office, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert's, and my office. And they're on video outside of my office doing all these things. And guess what? That sign was one of the things they were messing with. So it's a lawless work environment. It's petty. It's a sign. But in reality, it's not petty. It's a reflection of how they believe they can get away with anything. There's no accountability, and they don't ever pay the price. But if we do anything, then they just persecute us to the end. You can go down the list. We can talk about a cake baker that said they didn't want to bake a cake for someone. We can talk about Hollywood actors that come out as conservative. They get canceled. You can talk about Trump voters that got labeled deplorables, and then so many conservatives kicked off of social media. We can even talk about Alex Jones, who I totally disagree with his statements on Sandy Hook. But look at what's happening to him now. He's being treated as if he was the one that went in and killed those children. It's so wrong. It's like, where does it ever stop? The Trump family, what they have gone through is unbelievable. Eric Trump has been subpoenaed over 400 times by Democrat members of Congress. For what? He just runs the business. He has nothing to do with the politics. They never stop, but they also are never held accountable. I'm going to keep fighting it, and I'm going to keep pushing. You had to sign up, but there was an 80-year-old woman at the YMCA in Washington just yesterday who was kicked out of the pool because she was complaining that there was a man in the locker room. It's not just in sports. It's not just here. It's not just there. It seems like it's expanding more and more. What do you see as a real solution to this growing transgender movement where women can't feel safe in a locker room? How can an 80-year-old woman, she can't feel safe in a locker room with a man in there that's calling himself a woman? What an outrage. He should be arrested and put in jail. No, what it is, is everyone needs to rip the duct tape off their mouth that is really political correctness. Take it off and be brave and say the truth. If we care about defending people's rights, we should be defending women. We should be defending children because their rights are being abused every single day. We should be defending men because apparently white men are the worst parts of our human society, but none of us signed up for what color skin we have, what gender we have when we're going to be born, or where we're going to be born. All of this is absurd. What we need to do is we need to fight the issue. We need to stand up for, no, you're a man. You don't get to go in that bathroom. I don't care what you think in your mind. You don't get to go in there. You're a man. This is a women's place of privacy. Little girls bathrooms. No, guys, you don't get to go in there. These girls need to be safe. But it's outrageous that nobody stands up against it. I stand up against it and I get attacked all the time for it, but I believe it's worth it. I mean, what am I doing if I'm not speaking out against it? Now, as always, that was not the full interview.
