The Trio: You Won’t Believe What Marjorie Taylor Greene Did

Milo Ianopoulos, a controversial far-right figure known for his provocative commentary and ties to figures like Kanye West and Marjorie Taylor Greene, has been detained by ICE in Louisiana and is set for deportation. According to Laura Loomer, a political rival, she orchestrated the action after years of personal and ideological conflict. Milo’s background includes a high-profile marriage, a shift from “gay provocateur” to “ex-gay” status, and a history of targeting right-wing allies. His legal and personal entanglements have fueled ongoing conflict, including threats from Benny Johnson and accusations of spreading harmful narratives. The discussion expands to include Preston Paara, a white nationalist working on Mike Collins’ Georgia campaign who promotes fascist ideologies and racial superiority, highlighting a troubling trend of extremist influence in U.S. politics. Critics note the intersection of anti-Semitism and anti-Palestinian rhetoric in these figures, complicating their political messaging. The trio also reveals a broader pattern of far-right infiltration—especially among white Latino and "twink" subcultures—using radical rhetoric to gain attention. While the group acknowledges the disturbing normalization of such ideologies, they remain skeptical of how these figures operate within political machinery. A subscriber incentive leads to a promised cameo from Marjorie Taylor Greene, underscoring the intersection of personal feuds, political extremism, and online activism in contemporary American discourse.

Guys, we just finished recording one of the most insane trio videos ever and as soon as we got off, I got sent this delicious picture of Milo, Ianopoulos, alt-right, ex-gay, gay, ex-gay, troublemakers, mugshot. He's been detained by ice. He's on his way out of the country. Let's look at it. Looking good, mother fucker. Stick around with the trio. Hey, everybody heard it right there. It's the trio. I'm Tim Miller here at the managing editor Sam Stein, author of the false flag newsletter that underscores everything we do here at the trio. That's Will Summer. I guess what really is the grist that provides us with the fodder that we need is your newsletter, but it's really earth. It's the existence of Madga individuals out there, engaging in chicaneery. We do have some breaking news. Before we were planning to tape anyway and we have some breaking trio-related news that I am so excited to share that I'm almost physically excited about it. That is that Milo, Ianopoulos has been apprehended by ice right here in my home state of Louisiana. I might have a little sourcing on this I can get to, but Will Summer, tell us what you know. This is a political earthquake, Tim. As you said, Milo, you monopolist, the longtime far-right commentator who is, it's worth noting for this story, British, but his long been living in the United States, also Kanye West manager, sort of trickster figure in the bag of media. He was, as you said, TMZ reported. He was apprehended by ice is currently an ice detention and will presumably be getting deported. >> Yeah, seems like he's getting deported. Sam, do you have any Milo lore? >> No, I'm not like Will. I was just going to say because you were absolutely right. The world is our oyster here. Right before we came on, I would turn to Will and I was like, your beat never disappoints. There's always something going on. People need to understand this. Will's newsletter, we were talking about Will's newsletter, which is coming out on Monday, and it involves hitmen in Latin America. But now that's the second story because of Milo, there's Will has it to be blocked. >> Will, before I get into my Milo information and thoughts, I mean Milo, have circled each other over the years. >> Are you going to see him in the ice detention center? >> I don't think so. Alexandria, the main ice detention center here at Louisiana, where they're sending people out from, and now they're going to expand that and do it children's detention center because that's the country we live in now. That's like basically Arkansas, and they say it's in Louisiana, but it's in the northern part of Louisiana. It's like a whole different world. It's like culturally and just logistically, very challenging for me to get there. So no, I won't be visiting Milo, though I don't know if I would even if he isn't in New Orleans prison to be fair. Well, there's some gossip out there that his imprisonment, his deportation, is the work of Laura Loomer. >> Well, she would certainly tell you that it is. Yes, since. So Laura Loomer and Milo Unopolis were once best friends. They memorably did a rally in DC where he dressed up as her and they appeared together, all this stuff. But they've since had a really acrimonious falling out in part because Milo kind of sided with Marjorie Taylor Greene in that feud with Laura. He was living at Marjorie's house, maybe. He supposedly ghost wrote her book, according to Laura. So they hate each other now. And for about a year, Laura has been on this campaign saying, "At ICE, Milo does not have legal residency in the United States. His visa is expired. Go get him." And now that they've arrested him or detained him, Laura is very openly saying, "I did it. This was my doing. I asked her. I said, "Hey, did you do it?" And she said, "Yes." And I said, "Okay, so you think it was you?" And she said, "I just told you that. Do you even listen?" So from her perspective, she thinks it was her. She's not going to like this analogy. Obviously, deportation is not the same as concentration camp. So there are some limits. But like, Laura's not doing the thing where it's like, "Oh, yeah. I'm calling the SS guard and being like, "Look over here. Look over here. I want you to realize, like, I'm calling on my neighbors. I hear there's some paperwork issues down the block." That's Laura pregnant. Yeah, people long-time drill listeners will know that. And I saw firsthand the beginning of the falling out of Lumer and Milo at that bar in Phoenix when Lumer intervened in my physical altercation with Kerry Lake, who was a little. And then I asked her later why she said, "I've got some problems with a different homosexual at this party." And then proceeded to walk over to Milo and they got into an altercation that became nearly physical. I remember that. She could only have an altercation with one homosexual at the bar. Yeah. Yeah. She didn't want any of the attention taken off of her feud. She didn't want me and Kerry Lake stealing her gay drama thunder at that bar. So I did a couple of follow-ups for you. Something you did not mention. Well, you said he might have been living with Margaret Houghgren at the time, Miley and Apolless. I guess I'm actually just going to take a quick pause before I give this follow-up question. For anyone who's gotten this far, they're like refresh me. Milo, it was the gay provocateur kind of one of the originators of the Twinks for Trump in 2015. Even before that, he was like a bright-bart, right-wing culture. He's like the gay culture warrior, if you will, would pal around with Andrew Breitbart. And then you had a following out with many people in Trump world. He's unstable figure. Ends up becoming ex gay. Then joins like a Christian QVC where he sold like little kind of rosaries and I could put on a whole different affect. And during that period, I used to get divorced with his husband and you wrote in our slack that then moved into a mansion with Dove Charney, which is something I did not know. Yeah, the American apparel founder. Yeah. So Milo, you and Apolless has for several years been living in a historic L.A. mansion called the Garbutt mansion. And it is a just truly sprawling. Garbutt. The Garbutt mansion. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. It's a very nice place to live. And so there have been a lot of legal cases surrounding this. The L.A. Times has written about Milo and Dove kind of laying low in the Garbutt mansion, sometimes with Kanye West, sometimes with a rotating cast of media characters. So Milo has been busy. I mean, you know, you mentioned the ex gay thing. So Milo is actually currently going through a divorce from his husband. His husband, as I recall, was a black school teacher, is that right? Yes, I don't know about the school teacher. He's definitely a black man. And that's relevant here because Milo, when he, he was kind of this British like tech media provocateur. And then when Gamergate started going 2014, 2015, Milo kind of made the you jump to the US through Gamergate. And Gamergate, they loved people who weren't white men, straight white men who were upset about it. He would say things like, well, I'm not a big it because I, and forgive me folks, but he would say like, I'm not a big it because I love taking black cocks like stuff like that. Like very like that was kind of his original thing. However, that relationship is salad. You know, in his husband's 2025 demand for for spousal support. He said the breadwinner here, so Milo has disavowed his homosexuality while the house husband doesn't believe homosexuality is a choice. So the whole ex gay thing did put a lot of stress on Milo's gay marriage. You would think so. Yeah, you would think that there would be a little bit of tension there. Not a lot of people that I speak to really bought the whole ex gay thing. I don't think that there's a lot of people that were kind of thinking Milo was living a celibate lifestyle. Well, according to his husband, he was, they were all living in the Garbott mansion together. The husband was there. And then Milo moved a model in. I'm assuming a male model. Do you think Dove was getting any? Who knows with that guy? I have a couple questions. So what's Kanye gonna do here? Like, isn't that kind of a wild card? Good question. So Milo is in this, there was this bizarre thing, you're starting to think like 2021 where Milo became like a Spengale figure to Kanye when he was at his most like Hitler loving loss. He introduced Nick Fuentes to Kanye and that led to the whole Mar-o-Lago thing with Trump and Fuentes. But basically the reason it seems he was apprehended in Louisiana is because Kanye is set to perform Friday in New Orleans. And so that is probably why he was in the state. And so it seems like they're still very tight. I don't know what, you know, what is Kanye gonna be upset? He's gonna put out an anti-ice protest song now because his buddies being deported. We'll see. I mean, probably not, but not totally inconceivable. And also it depends on where he gets deported too. You'll ask my other question, is he gonna be, is he gonna be sent to Liberia? Can we please send him to the Central African Republic? And that is the main question. I mean, I guess you could find some things of interest there maybe. The like I would like for that to happen. Being sent to Britain is not the level of punishment. The desire is like, "Milo sent the following," you're not always such a disgusting character, you sent the following tweet, "The Will flagged" about a year ago or now. And he wrote this, "What is the etiquette if you're going about your business and find yourself observing an ice raid?" I want to show a little respect and decency. Are you allowed to masturbate where you stand or should you find some kind of awning or a motor vehicle? And that left me to kind of wonder the same question when the news came across my phone today. I was experiencing a little turgidity and wondering what the rules were seeing the news of Milo. And it's just like I couldn't quite get there because the hope, the thought of him just being sent, it is pretty enjoyable to think of him shackled in Alexandria, that I like. Being sent to the UK, back to the UK, to kind of bounce around, hang out with Nigel, the far right is kind of on the rise. You know, like I really do need him to be sent to a third country like the Central African Republic. And I'm still against that as a program, and I think it's inhumane and disgusting, but if there were to be someone that deserves to be sent there, I would say it would be Milo. I don't have a ton of reporting to offer. I will text with Laura Lumer, seems pretty authoritative, but I did contact some people around town and they couldn't do not get a verdict one way or another on whether Lumer was the source. But the argument in favor of her being the source is that like this is something we all know, but just hearing it from firsthand, like they are very focused on just snatching up any low hanging fruit and around, and particularly in red states where it places where you have favorable, friendly, political environments. And so I've been notion that, you know, somebody gets called on their neighbor, and this is very ominous and scary and horrific and un-American in every situation except for the Milo one. But like the idea that somebody would, you know, they'd know he's here, right, for the Kanye concert and to call kind of the friendly agents here in the region. It's, it doesn't seem like that's an outland, just think they've happened at all, you know, based on kind of the environment that people in that and law enforcement world are saying down here. - Yeah, I mean, I think I'm reluctant to give Laura credit for anything, but I do think we probably have to assume that she's behind this because like, how else are they grabbing a random British guy? But why now? She's been tagging him for a while. - Well, perhaps it's because he left the garb at mansion and traveled to a red state. - Yeah. - You know, I think that's not positive. I think that might be it. I mean, I do think the other thing I want to talk about is that this, people might be surprised to learn, but this is occasioned, a lot of excitement and rejoicing on the right. Because in his later years, Milo has adopted a sort of Will Summer role and tried to report really rigorously on his one-time friends on the right. And so he's constantly being like, I've lined up a victim of this guy who's going to denounce him on Twitter and stuff. Which has obviously been very useful for me, but the, but it has made him a lot of enemies. So along with Laura, he's obviously, he's gone after people like Elijah Schaefer, who we talked about. He went after Ali Alexander. And most notably, Benny Johnson. A few months ago, he was saying, Benny Johnson, we all know he's gay. Oh, it's the gayest guy ever, whatever. Benny and his wife said they were going to sue Milo. - How'd that go? - Well, it was never filed, but now Benny has a little out here. He said, if you will, but he said on Twitter, when Milo was on a RAM page against me and my wife, and we were going to sue him. But Laura said privately to me, you'll never, you'll never serve him because he's on the run from ICE. And so that's the one reason we couldn't sue him. - Well, that's unfortunate, yeah. - That is really unfortunate. - I want to discovery in that one. - Yeah, I wanted to see kind of what Benny would have filed there. It would be interesting to see if Milo would have had photographic filings. - You know, British libel laws are much weaker than in the United States. So actually, Benny, you could even pursue this case in the UK. It's even more favorable for you. - That's a great point, Will. Benny Johnson, and by the way, Benny Johnson has more YouTube subscribers than us, which is in a front to my dignity and humanity. So please subscribe right now if you are, if you're not already. But I do agree, Benny, please, I think, I think take this case all the way to Britain. I don't know, I don't know. And your integrity has been impugned. Your character, your manhood, like this drug-fueled psychopath, illegal immigrant has accused you of homosexual desires and wants and behavior. I don't know how you could let that stand, Benny. Please, please take that to a British court. - But what are the, what are the libel laws in Botswana? Or like, yeah, which are more. - He and I. - What do you mean Salvador or? - Do we have any idea? Can you get sued in Cicot? Is that possible? - Yeah. - Also some discussions about how this is maybe splashing it off onto MTG. We're gonna have more from MTG at the end of this show. Do stick around. Okay, if you're bored by the Milo talk, we're gonna make it all worth it. But she was hard-working the legal immigrant. I don't know, I'm not exactly an expert on the laws there, but that's something that seems like that could be an issue for her. - Well, and Laura also pointed out that Milo, who's much more allied these days with the Candace Owens, Tucker Wing, I believe was at Candace Owens' house for some period of time. So she's saying, well, Candace was harboring this person. So how many tendrils does Milo have? - All right, more on MTG to come, a lot more. But first, the big story that we were planning on discussing here, it's just, it's all gay, Republican Nazis these days, you know? It's all ball bearings. And gay Republican Nazis, you have Milo and Kanye in the news, and then you also had a young man that worked for Mike Collins. Now, Mike Collins is the candidate for Senate in Georgia running in Sean Ossoff. He just, that guy, what was the old onion line about? Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock? It's an onion thing by a straight guy. This is kind of like Mike Collins. It's kind of like, why do all these white nationalists keep showing up on my campaign? In the chief of staff, those on a white nationalist text thread. He had a son-in-law who possibly allegedly worked for him as well, who has posted a lot of white nationalist stuff online. And then he has this young man Preston, who is a KKK Nazi Colombian twink. Yeah, this is how things are in this country now. Yeah, so many of our leading Nazis are Latina. Sam, how do you feel about that as a Jew? Not great, honestly. I didn't particularly enjoy that one tweet that they found of his where it's just the word twink in the form of a swastika. I didn't like the fact that he just felt, you know, it was cool to pose in a KKK robe. I did have a chuckle at the quote in the post piece if I can read it where they talk about this guy as Paara. His name is Preston Paara. And the post got him on the phone about this. And he said, it goes like this. Paara said he's not a white supremacist because it goes against his religion. And he has a Colombian father, then they quote the guy. I do think that the white race contributes more to the world. He said, I'm not a white supremacist, but they are superior. I don't know why that took on me. And does he count himself among that as a Colombian? It is interesting. He's white Latinos. He's happy. Yeah, these white Latinos are a problem. James Fishback too. Yeah. And I think that there may be some reflection that needs to be done or some research or some learning about kind of the Hitler's view of the master race. I do think it was a little bit misaligned from them. I'm really torn about this. He does a-- the guy really seems to want attention. So I don't really want to play his five-minute video or any of it because he really likes to have attention. But I did watch it all. And I also, thanks to producer Matt, because I did not find this. And so I just want to say one more time, it was producer Matt that identified that he had a wiki feet account. I did produce that. I did produce that as well. But in the video, you'll be surprised to learn that the Colombian gay Nazi twink does have some inconsistencies, I think, in his ideology. And he's going after us off both for being Jewish and for being a pro-Palestine Jew. So you have a lot of these kind of right wingers that have followed gone the full horseshoe and kind of like come out like almost pro-- basically pro-Palestine is not out of any affinity for Arabs or Muslims, but to use as part of their anti-Semitic attacks on Jews. Not Preston. Preston-- it's unclear what he wants for John Assof, because he thought that John Assof was bad and dirty because of his religion, but also wrong to criticize There's real scone ducts. and that made him pro-Palestinian. So you can't win a few year people on this one, Sam. - No, he can't. It's unfortunate. I don't really know what else to say. This guy's a total loser. I can't believe Matt found his wiki feats. - Matt said, "Oh, the guy from wiki feet "is in the politics too." I'll pull this right up. Oh yeah, I know that guy. Wait, he worked on the Mike Collins campaign and started his feet for years. He's huge on the wiki feet message board, you know, community, that's him posting on. - Oh, man. I know this isn't gonna run then. - Maybe he should have done it. - You mentioned James Fishback. And Will and I, what's going on with his wife, Will? - Yeah, so Fishback has a lot of haters out there. And the haters are still going even though he lost the primary for governor. And basically, people were noting that his wife on social media had, he had this kind of like, a quickie marriage, and now she's pregnant. They had kind of switched, she switched her name on social media from Victoria Fishback to her maiden name of Quimbee. And so there was speculation that they had broken up or something like an air Quimbee? - Yes, of the Springfield Quimbee. And so I texted James and he said, I said, "Are you guys broken up?" But, you know, was this all a fate? Was this a sham relationship or whatever? And he said, "LOL, no, we're still together. "She's sitting right next to me." Now, look, this is a guy who has been proven in court to be a prolific liar, but that's the latest. - Well, if those two kids can't make it, I don't know how to say it. - Yeah, lost it. - The one other thing about Preston, that I did get a chuckle from out of his like insane sociopathic fascist video. Well, he was like, look, and this is one of those, you don't ever have to hand it to ISIS situations, but it's also maybe a broken clock is right twice a day situation. And he's like, with the younger Republican staffers these days, it's like, if you're not hiring kind of deranged fascists, like you're getting a really low quality person. Types of people that want to go for Republicans who aren't like full groipers are like very low level, very stupid, very low IQ. - Just the truth, if you have to make these days. - Yeah, just stop. - If you want high quality political operatives, you gotta live with the Nazism. And the thing is, it doesn't, it feels exaggerated, but not so far off. - No, I think that's very real. I mean, that's what all those text leaks. And obviously, you know, we've seen Rod Dre or putting out his 30 to 40% of GOP staffers are groipers statistic. - All right, up next here it comes. I've got great news for you. For those of you who decided to join and subscribe here at the bulwark, the last trio we did, we said if we reached our paid subscriber goal, that we would spend some of that money to get a cameo from Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is out there on cameo. Kind of in these streets, just being an entrepreneur, she's married, she's starting a new life, and she has a message for all of us. I have not seen it. I am going in totally blind as I'm talking right now. So if you are one of the people in the last trio of video that did not subscribe, you're gonna have to stick around? You're gonna have to do it, you're gonna have to join. Roll with us, come on, roll with us. And on the other side, we'll have a little MTG talk while we message from her to you. Stick around.
