American politics isn’t about governing anymore—it’s a circus where loyalty and betrayal sell more than policy. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation proves how quickly the left can flip the script: yesterday’s “lunatic” is today’s political pawn because she broke ranks with Trump. Just like Liz Cheney and John Fetterman before her, the game is the same—vilify, then embrace when it’s convenient. The headlines aren’t about solutions, they’re about spectacle, and the audience keeps tuning in.

SPEAKER_00 (00:07):
I'm so tired of this lefty craziness and yes that
continues to permeate.
You know, Stuart, MarjorieTaylor Green is when Joe Biden a
number of years ago stood inCongress and gave a State of the
Union.
Marjorie Taylor Green didsomething that you're not really
supposed to do in Congress, andthat she called him out in the

(00:28):
middle of a speech.
It was a little bit off.
As a person on the right, Ibelieve that you know there's a
there's a decorum, she shouldhave kept it.
And she went after him, andBiden responded in a certain
way, made him look good,whatever.
But the left vilified, and theDemocrats vilified Marjorie
Taylor Green for bad code ofconduct.
She's a nutcase, she's alunatic.

(00:48):
Well, apparently she's not alunatic anymore, Stuart, because
she announced her resignation.
She's not going to return as acongress lady, and uh she's
stepping down.
And folks from Jimmy Kimmel toyou name it, all the CNN, MSNBC
lovers are saying, Welcome toreality.
What do you mean, welcome toreality?

(01:10):
Why?
Because she denounced Trump.
That, ladies and gentlemen, istheir world of reality, and
you're living in it.
Welcome back, everybody, to theRent Network.
I'm David Solomon, here's StuartBrisgale.
What we do every Monday,Wednesday, Friday, noon, Eastern
is a podcast all about life,politics, culture, shenanigans,
you name it, and so much more.
We love to dive into thecraziness and the stupidity that

(01:32):
is what we're dealing with todayin our world and the U.S.
virtual reality that we like totalk about.
So sit back today, ladies andgentlemen, because it's another
one of those rants where you'regonna just go, why are we
wasting our time?
Look, Stuart, I'm not, I'm justgonna, I'm not gonna say that
the it's only a left thing.
We saw this with John Fettermanwhen John Fetterman ran against

(01:53):
Dr.
Oz back in the in with in theyou know in as Pennsylvania
senator, and they denounced youknow, Fetterman is a bumbling
fool.
He had a stroke, he couldn'tspeak, the way he dresses.
But the moment that Fetterman,you know, was went from a from
just kind of shifted from hisparty, the right embraced him.

(02:14):
So it's not a lefty thing, butno one says, welcome to reality
to John Fetterman.
It's like, hey, John, you'reallowed to speak your mind.
But apparently, on the left, youaren't allowed to speak your
mind unless you are in line withthe left.
Stuart?

SPEAKER_01 (02:30):
Yep.
You know, it's like Americanpolitics feels more like a
reality TV show, uh, and and andless like civic lessons, but
more like a twisted plot.
Not long ago, the Democrats werecelebrating Liz Cheney, a
lifelong conservative, ironcladfamily, the daughter of the

(02:53):
former vice president, may herest in peace, known for voting
with Trump's positions more than90% of the time.
But because she broke ranks,Donald Trump overnight she went
from villain to hero in the eyesof the Democratic commentators
who labeled her as a hawk,suddenly embraced her as the new

(03:18):
fleet welcome Democrat.
You know, it it's not it's not atwist, it's strange.
The Democratic political machinehave turned their attention now
onto Mayor Marjorie TaylorGreen.
Yep, MTG.
The same congressman that oncetreated as an embodiment of

(03:42):
everything wrong with theRepublican Party is now being
selectively elevated andspotlighted by, as you said,
Jimmy Kimmel, even begrudginglywelcomed into certain political
usefulness because her publicrift with Trump becomes louder
and more dramatic and morepolitically valuable.

(04:06):
Let's be clear.
MTG has built her brand on afire rage rebellion.
For years, she's been describedas a Democrat as the hard right
fringe, the cuckoos on theright.
Suddenly, every time she rantsabout Trump, she suggests he's

(04:26):
rifting and drifting, and ofcourse, isn't fighting hard
enough.
Those same Democrats who amplifyher voice, replay her clips, and
quietly smile behind the scenes.
Why?
Because when political windsshift, even yesterday's foes
become convenient megaphobes.

(04:49):
What do you think, David?
Do you think do you think she'sscolding leaders of her own
party?
Do you think she's dramaticsintensifying because she's
officially resigned in amonologue on TV?
She gets on camera, points thefinger, the volume raises.
It launches everyone into atirade.

(05:11):
How Trump isn't beingpresidential enough, and how if
you're not loyal enough, youain't getting his nod.
You know, because the politicalelite, David, we're used to the
wink wink nod nod, just like theDNC.
You know, you brought upFetterman.

(05:33):
Fetterman, and again, I'm not afan of Fetterman, but he's a
straightforward guy.
He tells you as it is, he's notcapable of sugarcoating
anything.
He's telling you how he feels.
He thinks he's doing what's bestfor Pennsylvania.
Look, he's a zillionaire, right?
But for MTG to go and critiqueTrump's, that is a political

(05:58):
gold medal for the DNC.

SPEAKER_00 (06:02):
David.
I'll tell you where he's gottento.
You know, the Trump derangementsyndrome that we got here is
just insane.
I mean, I'll quote you whatJimmy Kimmel said.
He goes, There's gonna be oneless puddle of sweat on the
floor mat of the Congresscongressional gym because Major
Marjorie Taylor Green, yetanother Trump super fan, learns
that loyalty to him goes onlyone way.

(06:24):
And it's interesting because youknow what?
If you read a lot of the by thebooks that came out after Obama,
it was the same story.
People complained about if youeither were with Obama or you
were against Obama.
This is how politics work.
And Jimmy Kimmel, you sit thereon your stage and you laugh and
you mock Donald Trump and yousay, ha ha, I win, ha ha ha.

(06:47):
At the end of the day, dude,that's how politics has always
worked.
It's always worked this way.
You wash my hand, I wash yourhand.
You want my vote, you gotta giveme something.
And if you didn't learn anythingfrom the latest shutdown of
Congress, that's how it works.
Quid pro quo.
That's politics.
It's ugly, I agree.

(07:08):
But to sit there and to go, wow,it's only Trump that you have to
be loyal to?
Are you kidding me?
If you weren't loyal to Biden,what do you think happened?
If you didn't get today, if youdon't get today's Obama's
okidoki, you think Kamala Harriswould have run?
You see what goes on in your ownmedia when they say, wow, Obama
did not endorse Mamdani.

(07:29):
What does that mean?
It's all that's how the gameworks.
And Jimmy Kimmel is trying toconvince you that Trump is the
autocrat, and if you don't kissthe ring, you're out.
Hey, that has been politicsforever.
If you didn't kiss NancyPelosi's ring, you didn't get
what you wanted.
If you didn't kiss you don'tkiss Mike Johnson's ring, you

(07:51):
don't get what you want.
That is political reality.
And Jimmy Kimmel is trying totell you that it's only a
one-sided game.
And anybody who's with Trump isnuts.
Now I'm trying to understandsomething here.
Donald Trump may not be doingthings in the presidential way.
Basically, you want Obama,Biden-esque politics.

(08:15):
Sure.
You want to see sugarcoating andsweetness and lovely words and
great speeches with no substancebehind it?
Sure.
Great.
Trump doesn't do that.
He told you from 2016 on he'snot going to be like that.
You learned that from 2017 to2021, that he's going to be one
of those different presidents.

(08:36):
But you know what, Stuart?
It's very funny because the samecriticism happens with a lot of
other presidents you see aroundthe world.
President Malay in Argentina,the same thing.
He doesn't rule like apolitician, he's a businessman.
And that's how he wants to runArgentina.
Now, you may not like Trump'sways, but boy oh boy, I'm gonna

(08:58):
ask the left one question.
You're bitching and moaning andthis and that, but no one did
more in the first year of apresident's uh uh um term than
what Trump did.
Look what he's accomplished,look what he's changed, good and
bad.
You could say whatever you want,but he's done something.
And Jimmy Kimmel and the lefthave nothing to say other than

(09:20):
you're a bad man, you're a badman, you're a bad man.
This is what I was talking aboutat the beginning, the groundhog
day.
You've learned nothing.
You see what goes on with ice.
Let's oppose, let's let's goagainst like this is what you're
you're the Jimmy Kimmel is happyabout.
We oppose ICE, we opposecriminal decriminalization, we

(09:41):
oppose the drug the you knowwhat what Trump is doing about
drugs, we oppose what he's doingwith the economy.
We oppose, we oppose, we oppose.
Good for you.
In the meantime, you wantMarjorie Taylor Green on your
side?
Okay, how did it go with LizCheney, by the way, when she was
there?
Hey, did you guys win anythingwith her?
Good luck with MPG.

SPEAKER_01 (10:00):
Uh, you know, and and and the Washington Post
rails Trump, Marjorie TaylorGreen, breakup, shakeup maga.
Mom and dad are gettingseparated.
You know, you read no onesecond, one second, one second,
David.
I gotta read these theseheadlines.
I've never owned him anything.
I never owed him anything.

(10:21):
Major MTG responds to Trump witha jab.
G-O-P, you know, MTG hits backat Trump.
I've never owed him everything.
You know, the headlines and thethe comments that are on EBC,
MBC, The New Republic, and TheGuardian are absolutely

(10:42):
hilarious.
You're right.
Where did the politicians getwith Cheney?
Nothing.
Liz Cheney imploded politically.
And if she didn't get her actualpardon from a we don't know who,
some autopen, you know, shewould likely be in big doo-doo.

(11:02):
You know, you cannot, you know,you can't sit here and throw
rocks and glass houses andexpect the windows not to break.
This president, different than alot of other presidents, very
publicly demands people to fallin line.
You know, you brought up uhNancy Pelosi.

(11:25):
She is well, don't follow theline.
I'm going to kill you.
That's how come she's worth$120million.
Oh, I didn't do anything wrong.
Don't look at me, not me.
Look at him.
It's all him.
And this is what the Democratshave constantly done in
politics.
They say the other party is theboogeyman when they themselves

(11:47):
are presenting Manchuriancandidates that laugh like
hyenas and then blame genderpolitics on why that she
couldn't get elected, quotingMichelle Obama from like 10 days
ago.
Just to bring that into the mix.
Because Michelle Obama, no, onesecond, because Michelle Obama
believes that politics and womenjust don't mix.

(12:13):
Maybe now she's gonna go andstart saying about how Marjorie
Taylor Greene got uh ostracizedby Donald Trump because she's a
woman.
There's your next headlines.
I'm trying to bring a point up.
David, you know what, Stuart?
The the problem, the problemWell, you don't like that?
I think it's a great headline.
I think we should writeheadlines for NBC and ABC.

SPEAKER_00 (12:35):
No, I don't know, please, God, no.
But you but you're you knowwhat, Stuart, you hit you hit,
you hit, you hit a reallysensitive nerve here, Stuart.
Because you see, the left, it'sall about stomping feet, getting
what they want.
You know, when when it and andthere, and it just but you know,
when I look at what and I hearwhat Jimmy Kimmel says and all
these talk show hosts, it'sagain, it's you haven't learned

(12:57):
anything.
You haven't learned anything,right?
The United States of America,they're they're they're plotting
right now because look, Trump'sratings have dropped.
Yeah, they dropped, and italways happens like that in any
president, okay, guys.
Obama, Biden, Bush's, Reagan'sthings go up, things go down.
When the economy's tough andpeople are having a hard time,

(13:19):
it's it it's it's part of theproblem.
But Trump said it very clearly.
He goes, I gotta fix a mess, andit hurts, okay, because the
Biden administration's policiesare still there, and as much as
he's trying to reverse it, youcan't reverse a steam train.
You know, you can't you can'tturn a boat on a dime.
You have it takes time, andunfortunately, people are pained

(13:41):
and don't understand.
And the Democrats are sittinghere going, yay, we can blame
Trump again for something thatBiden and and Kamala Harris put
in place.
This is going to take time.
Now, 2026 is rolling around thecorner, Stuart.
We're barely five weeks awayfrom the new year, which means
we are in the last and we're noteven 12 months to the next

(14:03):
election.

And I'll tell you something (14:04):
the Trump derangement syndrome is
going to be amped up like noone's business.
That's all you're going to hear.
And if voters are really, reallypaying attention, they're going
to go to the ballot box and say,screw you, Dems, you did nothing
for me for two years.
When I needed your help, you didnothing for me for four years as
president.

(14:24):
And for the last two years, allyou did was bitch about a
president who knocked out tax ontips, who lowered costs of
living, and is likely to sendthese crazy tariff checks, which
I find hilarious.
Let's see what happens.
Stuart, last word to you, myfriend.

SPEAKER_01 (14:39):
You know, I don't think it's the last word.
I think it goes down topopularity and that the
president Donald Trump 2025 orgo Trump 2016, you're not going
to get anyone giving him topmarks, right?

SPEAKER_00 (14:53):
No.

SPEAKER_01 (14:54):
And you know, he is not going to come up with
Kennedy 72, Obama 68, Trump's at47.
Even if Trump actually is above47, the left media is
controlling the survey.
So, bottom line, Trump 2025 willlikely not, you know, overlap or

(15:15):
go over these other presidents.
But I want to remind you thatBiden's highest was 50.

SPEAKER_00 (15:22):
And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, we'll
catch you on Friday.
Hey, listen, folks, you're 52minutes.
Have yourself a good rest of theweek, people.
