The Georgia Hour, episode 133: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Shocking Pivot: Is She Pitching a New Political Play?

Dive into the mys­tery of Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene’s recent polit­i­cal shift. MTG’s focus on state issues and bold anti-estab­lish­ment rhetoric has sparked spec­u­la­tion. With her deputy chief of staff Nick Dyer’s sud­den exit, her Gaza com­ments, and a push for tax cuts in Geor­gia, is she rebrand­ing or rebelling? Explore RNC sum­mer meet­ing, the Geor­gia State Board of Elec­tions dra­ma, and the murky 2026 Sec­re­tary of State race involv­ing Kelvin King and Tim Flem­ing. What’s dri­ving MTG’s unpre­dictable moves?

• Start the inves­ti­ga­tion: What is going on with Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene? She has attend­ed and been a front lin­er at Trump ral­lies for years. In the last six months she has made a turn. We thought she was going to run for Sen­ate. Then she came out that she was not run­ning for Sen­ate, but in her state­ment she said that if she ran, she would win. Then she spoke at the GOP State con­ven­tion and sound­ed a lot like she was run­ning for gov­er­nor. A mem­ber of con­gress doesn’t usu­al­ly get in front of a bunch of peo­ple to talk about state issues. Then she did polling, if she would run for gov­er­nor she would win but there would be a bat­tle for the MAGA hat. She felt she put the time in and sup­port­ed Trump to get the MAGA hat. She thought she had sweat equi­ty. But Trump knows that Burt Jones’ dad wrote checks that would put him over MTG. Recent­ly MTG has been all over the map. She wants George San­tos par­don, she has weighed in on Gaza, now she siad that you are the ene­my if you are not Amer­i­ca First. The oth­er day she dropped this, Not only do we pay 5.2% state income tax­es in GA, we also pay high prop­er­ty tax­es. GA has got to elim­i­nate state income tax­es and prop­er­ty tax­es. This should be one of the most impor­tant issues in the gov­er­nors race. 
• Nick Dyer was MTG Deputy Chief of Staff between Feb 2023 to May 2025. There was a time you would nev­er see MTG with­out Nick. He has been by her side for her entire tenure in Con­gress, play­ing a major role in her mes­sag­ing strat­e­gy. This is part of the puz­zle. He left MTG at the end of July, two months ago when MTG start­ed the turn. June was the GOP con­ven­tion. In June she start­ed talk­ing like a dif­fer­ent kind of can­di­date. He may have got­ten out to go a dif­fer­ent direc­tion. Some­thing is up. 
• The RNC sum­mer meet­ing is at the end of August. Michael Whate­ly the RNC chair­man is run­ning for Sen­ate seat in North Car­oli­na. Trump has endorsed Joe Gruters. They want you to lose your ener­gy and dri­ve to give up on cor­rup­tion. Just when you think you can’t go any fur­ther, that’s when you get up and get a sec­ond wind and dri­ve for­ward because cor­rup­tion can­not be accept­able. Either we are repub­li­cans or we are not. We can­not allow them to stand silent with the Frost fam­i­ly. On the day of the 2025 con­ven­tion, First Lib­er­ty had already col­lapsed. And they par­tic­i­pat­ed in the rigged elec­tion. Now you have writ­ten to Michael What­ley and you got noth­ing. Now Amy Kre­mer gets a vote. Geor­gia has 3 votes: Amy Kre­mer, Jason Thomp­son, Josh McK­oon. Don­ald Trump has endorsed Joe Gruters. Trump does not want any­one to vote against him. Hand­write your let­ters to Joe Gruters about the Frost fam­i­ly, the rigged elec­tion, and the GAGOP refus­es to stand against the Frost fam­i­ly, and the per­son­al charges on the GAGOP cred­it card. Amy is hav­ing meet­ings all across the state. 
• The House Blue Rib­bon Study Com­mit­tee on Elec­tion Pro­ce­dures on Fri­day August 8th at Rock­mart City Call at 10am. This is the dis­cus­sion on the next vot­ing sys­tem in Geor­gia. Tim Flem­ing is the chair and he is run­ning for Sec­re­tary of State, we are aware of the polit­i­cal stunts. Gabe Ster­ling the COO the chief oper­at­ing offi­cer of the Sec­re­tary of State is rumored to run for the office. Before the first Blue Rib­bon Pan­el, Vic­tor Ander­son was sup­posed to be the chair of the pan­el and just 48 hours before the first meet­ing Jon Burns slid in with Tim Flem­ing. Now Tim Flem­ing used to be Bri­an Kemp’s chief of staff, and won­dered what hap­pened there. Now Tim Flem­ing has a ton of endorse­ments imme­di­ate­ly after announc­ing. The Blue Rib­bon Pan­el is just a stunt, just to make you think they care. They will write a rec­om­men­da­tion for the next vot­ing sys­tem in GA. 
• Kelvin King enters the Sec­re­tary of State race with a shot at his like­ly rival, Gabe Ster­ling. Not against Tim Flem­ing. Now his wife is Janelle King who is on the Geor­gia State Board of Elec­tions who was appoint­ed by Jon Burns. Is this a con­flict while Kelvin is run­ning for the seat? 
• The oth­er day the state board of elec­tions passed this res­o­lu­tion, ask­ing for the DOJ to be brought in to obtain all nec­es­sary vot­ing records and doc­u­ments from Ful­ton Coun­ty. The board is call­ing on the Sec­re­tary of State (Brad Raf­fensperg­er) to assist it as ful­ly as pos­si­ble… these are grey words… and the Attor­ney Gen­er­al (Chris Carr) to seek the assis­tance of appro­pri­ate local author­i­ties or fed­er­al author­i­ties. This is not the State board of elec­tions call­ing Pam Bon­di to come in.. res­o­lu­tions are not bind­ing, this is no more than a sug­ges­tion to the SOS and AG that have had years to resolve. Every­thing they are rec­om­mend­ing to the SOS and the AG, they have had the pow­er to do this the whole time and the board is pow­er­less in instruct­ing them to do it. 
• Julie Adams’ term is com­plete; she is still on the board because they have not replaced her yet. They have not re-appoint­ed her. Jason Fraiz­er is a dis­rupter. Ful­ton Coun­ty board of elec­tions and the com­mis­sion do not want Jason Fraiz­er to the board. The repub­li­can par­ty nom­i­nat­ed Julie Adams and Jason Fraiz­er to be on the board as their nom­i­nees. The com­mis­sion­ers said no. The judge ruled that the Ful­ton com­mis­sion­ers had to accept the repub­li­can nom­i­nees. It is the order of the court that Ful­ton coun­ty has to accept these two nom­i­nees. It will go all the way to the GA Supreme Court because the com­mis­sion­ers are say­ing they don’t have to accept these two.
