Marjorie Taylor Greene: AIPAC, NYC’s Future Mayor, and the Warmongers Trying to Undermine Trump (Transcript)

We voted on 22 of those. We never vote on resolutions proclaiming great things about America or defending certain Americans or defending American general. But we have voted on 22 resolutions in the House defending Israel.

TUCKER CARLSON: How many of you voted yes on.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t know my exact record. The last one I voted no on, and then the one before that I voted present because I just started getting sick of it.

The Focus on Foreign vs. Domestic Issues

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, that’s kind of it. I mean, I never really. I’ve always noticed this, certainly in the last. I don’t know how many years. It’s been a while where Republicans in the Congress are always talking about Israel. I’m not against Israel. I’ve always liked Israel, so I don’t. Haven’t really noticed it. Okay, fine. Love Israel. Love any country, whatever. But it feels like something has changed, and clearly it has for you. What is that thing?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, I think here’s the situation. It’s coming to a point where it’s so obvious all the time in everyone’s language, the social media posts they put out, the statements that they make. They have to proclaim Israel, they have to proclaim their faith and loyalty in Israel and how they, you know, Israel is our greatest ally. And it’s a statement that has to be made over and over and over again to the point it’s becoming like, wait a minute, what about our own country? What about our own people?

And we have so many problems here in America and we talk about this all the time. $37 trillion in debt, just like you and I were speaking before our kids, generations. My kids are 22, 25 and 27. And our children’s generation, they can’t afford rent, they can’t afford to buy a house, they can’t afford insurance, they can’t buy a new car, they can’t find a good paying job. They’re living month to month, paycheck to paycheck, credit card bills stacked up and they literally look to the future going, how am I ever going to realize the American dream? And it seems hopeless for them.

But then in Congress, everyone is chasing and pursuing and proclaiming their loyalty to a foreign country. And my goodness, I have nothing against Israel. I wish them well, I wish the people of Israel well, I wish Jewish people well. But I also wish every country well. And I want good things for everyone.

TUCKER CARLSON: So why do you hate Israel so much?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right? But you know, here’s what it is I compare it to. It’s like white guilt. You know, we’ve dealt with white guilt for so many years and it’s.

TUCKER CARLSON: Has it worked? Has it improved anyone’s life?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, no. And this is a similar thing when in reality, everyone’s lives are going to improve here in our country if we just focus on our own country. And it’s really simple.

The Economic Reality for Young Americans

TUCKER CARLSON: One of my children just graduated college and I was talking to her this morning over coffee. She’s got 13 friends she’s moving to a major American city with. And I know, of course, I know them all. I know them, you know, for her four years in college, great, great people. Three have jobs.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Three.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, three out of 13. You know, and it’s, it’s not, it’s like a real college, you know, pretty good college and pretty smart kids. Hard to get into for sure. Yeah, three out of three out of 13. And most of them are from, you know, well to do family. They’ll be fine. Dark as dark death or anything. But like, that’s not, that’s not good.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, it’s ridiculous. We, we are literally failing our children.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And it’s unacceptable and it’s opening the door for so many bad things in America. It’s opening the door for Americans turning to voices and turning to leaders that they should never pay attention to.

TUCKER CARLSON: Exactly.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And I’m. It disgusts me, honestly. I turned a corner this past weekend where I’d had it. I have been in four years. My first four years was under the Biden administration. And so everything I blamed on Democrats.

TUCKER CARLSON: Exactly.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And I was absolutely repulsed and disgusted to what happened to our country over four years, just like everyone else. Shocked, angry and disgusted.

TUCKER CARLSON: Me too.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And obviously that’s why we won in November. Oh my goodness, it was a miracle. I mean, people poured out from all walks of life, all backgrounds, and came out and voted for Trump, voted for Republicans in the House, Republicans in the Senate. So we’ve been in power for six months. And I was so excited in the beginning thinking there’s nothing we can’t do, literally nothing we can’t do.

But six months in, there’s literally nothing that we can do. And then we ended up bombing a foreign country. And that upset me so much. And I’m allowed to be upset about it. I can stand here and say, you are allowed? Well, no, I’m not sure if. Not according to Mark Levin and not according to many others, you know, that, that prioritize another country over our country.

The New York City Mayor’s Race and Political Desperation

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, it’s. It’s interesting you said a second ago that when people are really frustrated, when they’re. The system they live under fails them, they listen to voices that they shouldn’t listen to or wouldn’t listen to under any other circumstances. Like how did Al Sharpton get to be the leader of black America or whatever. I mean, it’s like just, it’s a thing. Desperate people tend to go to crappy leaders, I think.

And I just can’t get over what happened in our biggest city this week. The very same week that everybody in D.C. is focused thousands of miles away on the greatest threat we face, Iran’s nuclear program. I don’t want Iran to have the bomb. I’m not pro Iran.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Obviously we’re not pro Iran.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Like, why do we have to say it?

TUCKER CARLSON: No.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right. It’s dumb.

TUCKER CARLSON: But at the same time that everybody was looking to Iran, our largest city had a Democratic primary, effectively the mayor’s race. And like 32 year old socialist who wants government run grocery stores, gets, gets elected. He’s going to likely run our biggest city.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. In the country, New York.

TUCKER CARLSON: And it’s like, why did that happen? Is it because people are so, like, desperate for government run grocery stores or love socialism or love, like foreign born midwits running their cities? Probably not. That guy was the only person in the New York City mayor’s debate to say he wanted to focus on New York City.

They were. All the candidates were asked, if you could visit a foreign country, what would it be? And they, of course, all had an answer. I think most said, Israel, great. And he said, I wouldn’t go anywhere. I’d stay in New York. And like, if I want to meet Jewish constituents, I go to their synagogues, their homes or whatever, but I’d be here in New York because that’s what I’m doing. I’m running New York. That’s my job.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, he gave the right answer.

TUCKER CARLSON: I gave the right answer. He gave the right answer at least. And he’s talking. I totally oppose his program.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Absolutely. Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: I don’t think it works. But he’s talking about economics.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yep.

TUCKER CARLSON: And everyone else is talking about foreign policy. Why is it hard to talk about economics? Domestic economics?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t know. Apparently they don’t know how to fix it. Well, look who he was running against. He’s looking, I mean, the failed mayor, Andrew Cuomo. Look at him.

TUCKER CARLSON: He’s governor.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, governor or governor. Yeah. Discussing sexual. All types of accusations. So he was, he was seen as the dirty establishment Democrat. Right, right. That really never solved anyone’s problems. They already had him. And they still have the same problems. They’re still poor. They can’t afford life, they can’t afford to move up in the world.

And so they looked at Andrew Cuomo and like, why am I going to vote for him? He’s not going to make my life better. And so they look at this, this man who’s been in our country for what, six years? Yeah, six years. So he’s foreign born, he’s a socialist, and he’s promising to empty the prisons and do all kinds of crazy things. And he’s talking, but he’s talking to them on their level and talking about, talking about the problems they are facing, relating to them with the problems they’re facing. So these young people have no choice but to turn to this.

TUCKER CARLSON: I agree.

Republican Party Failures and Accountability

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And it’s, it’s, it is a failure. It is literally a failure of, of the Republican Party. I think the Republican Party has completely failed. And it makes me so angry, Tucker, and I can’t. You know, I’m not supposed to speak out. Right. I’m not supposed to have my own opinion. I’m supposed to just have blind allegiance to my party and I’m supposed to cheerlead and rah, rah, rah.

But that’s not why I ran. That’s not why I ran for Congress in the first place. I literally ran because I was mad at Republicans. Well, I’m still mad at Republicans because it is affecting our children’s lives and future. And it’s our job to hold our elected leaders accountable. It’s my job to hold my colleagues accountable.

And if we don’t fix these problems to the point where young people are turning to crazy socialists, it’s going to get worse. It’s literally going to get worse in our. It’ll be gone. I don’t think we could ever get it back.

The Real Threats to America

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, it’s just kind of weird because Fox News tells us that the real threats are abroad or there are Iranian sleeper cells in the United States. It seems to me the real threat to the United States is the collapse of its cities, of its population centers, where the most people live. I don’t live in a city, don’t want to live in a city because they suck. Yeah, but in a normal country, I would live in a city. And so would you. Sure, of course.

So I don’t understand how we spent the last 25 years fighting all these wars, obsessively focused on our enemies abroad, Jihadis or whatever. They’re telling us the threat is white supremacists under Biden. And the country has not gotten better. No, it’s like Maintaining the empire has destroyed the Republic. It does feel that way.

The Establishment’s Infiltration of the America First Movement

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, 100%. But we have to look at what the struggle we’re dealing with. So I think it’s very interesting to look at the pattern in place. So 2016, America rose up, and I was one of those little people, and we rose up and turned to one man because he was different on a stage of 17, he was 100% different than the other 16. And he spoke our language and cared about issues. We were like, oh, my gosh, we’ve never heard a politician say this before.

So we elected Trump, and then President Trump went into his first administration totally unaware of what he was getting into. I mean, who could know? If you’re coming from the outside, how could you know how that system works? You can’t. I didn’t know. And so then President Trump thought, hey, everyone’s supporting me now. I won the election. All Republicans should get behind me. We’re all going for the same thing.

But no, they stabbed him in his back. They. People in his administration were horrible. They threw him under the bus, allowed him to be investigated and accused of horrible things. The people stood with him, but we watched the establishment tried to beat him back. Then the election was stolen in 2020. Then January 6th happened. The establishment roared back again and tried to take back the Republican Party, take it back and take control.

The people didn’t let it happen, though. The people were like, no, we do not want to go back to the neocon ways. We don’t want to go back to the fail of the leadership of the Republican Party. So then we saw what happened.

TUCKER CARLSON: He.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: He got more powerful. They were prosecuting him. I mean, 34 indictments, they found him guilty. They tried to kill him twice. They tried. They put him in jail, giving him that iconic photo, and then we elected him again.

But it’s the same thing. You know what’s happened? The establishment and the neocons, the ones that tell us that they’re America First. Oh, we’re not. We’re fake MAGA. Fake MAGA. They’re the ones that have figured out how to dress up in an America first costume and put on a MAGA hat, and now they speak our language perfectly. They have the dialect down, they know the lingo, and they know how to talk like us, but they’re not us at all.

And I think that’s what we saw happen over the past week when we bombed Iran. We saw the whole establishment rear its ugly head, and it’s bigger than we could have imagined. And I think it was fully exposed. And to me, I looked at that and I went, wow, it’s worse than I thought.

TUCKER CARLSON: Me, too.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Because you want to know something, Tucker? We only have President Trump for a few more years, and in just a few more years, we’re going to have to elect another president, and we’re going to all have to turn and find a new leader that will share our values and fight for them. That’s going to be very hard because we’re going to have to fill shoes that are very big, very difficult to fill.

And we’ve had President Trump now for all these years, and so many people are going to be disappointed because you’re not going to have another Trump. There’s not going to be one. And I think it’s the most dangerous time for people like us that truly care about our country, love our children, and want to fix the problem so that their lives can be better.

And I think we’re going to face a real fight within our party to make sure that we are pushing the focus to focus on America, focus on our problems, and just let the world do its thing. We can have great trade deals, we can do all these things, but it’s going to be very hard to push that system in place because I really think in the past week, I realized that that’s not who they are. They said it on the campaign trail. They promised it when they got elected. And a whole bunch of others, the talking heads on TV, they all pretended. But in the past week, I was like, nope, it’s not real.

The Flight of Productive Americans

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. So the question is, do the people who really do care about the United States give up and leave, you know, the party, the movement or not? I mean, New York City was built by, you know, hard working, sober Christian people. And they built this amazing city. And then, of course, they all left because it became chaotic starting in the 60s and they’re all gone. That’s, you know, that’s why you get the election results. You do. They just ran away and they moved to the suburbs or Montana or wherever. They have a tendency, productive people have a tendency to do that. They don’t stay and fight. They like, I don’t want to deal with this. I’m out.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. They don’t have to stay in the fight.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, that’s true. But do you see that happen with America First? Like, in five years, are people going to be like, you know, when Mark Levin and Laura Loomer built America first with Tom Cotton and Lindsey Graham.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: Like, you know, the heroes of the movement.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: Like the Soviets redefined the Bolshevik revolution to make, you know, Stalin the head of it.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, totally.

TUCKER CARLSON: You know what I mean?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I mean, Laura Loomer is America first, except Israel first, but can you.

TUCKER CARLSON: Is that going to happen? Do you think that people who really think that we, you know, we need a government that focuses on the country it represents, will those people stick around and say, no, I’m sorry, you can’t. I don’t. I can see through your skin suit. I know who you are. This is all fake. You can’t use my government, my military, to prosecute these silly sectarian wars anymore.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right. I don’t know. I’m going to be really honest. I don’t know. I think it goes one way.

TUCKER CARLSON: Kick you out, then I think we’ll know the answer.

Media Attempts to Divide Trump and Greene

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, for sure. They would love to. They’re already trying to. I’ve had. I had three reporters, literally. Was it yesterday? I think it was yesterday. Three reporters. One from Punchbowl, one from Axios, and one from the Wall Street Journal. And I know who they’re connected to people, and they can’t. They came and they were asking me the same stupid questions, trying to make this like, she’s betrayed Trump.

TUCKER CARLSON: She’s.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: She’s broken up with Trump. She’s turned her back on him, which couldn’t be further from the truth. But they’re setting the stage because they want these headlines. Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: So the Wall Street Journal is now kind of looking out for Trump.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, totally. Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: The Wall street just enforcing loyalty in the Trump ranks.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes. Yeah. And Punchbowl, obviously, they’re very concerned. Yeah. And I don’t want to see any.

TUCKER CARLSON: Leaking or disloyalty against Donald Trump.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Those are MAGA publications, let me tell you.

TUCKER CARLSON: This is too funny. It’s too unbelievable.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But it’s so. So you. It’s so predictable.

Greene’s Unwavering Support for Trump

TUCKER CARLSON: I know, but I do think you’re. And one of the reasons I’m so grateful that you flew all the way from your real job to come see us is that I think it’s important to know whether you’re going to fight for the movement that you’ve been in since 2016 and are really identified with. I mean, when you got to Congress, you were so for Trump and his ideas that your own party tried to expel you from the Congress.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Exactly.

TUCKER CARLSON: Literally. They hated Trump.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, they hate. They still hate him. I serve with so many people that hate his guts, hate Him. Hate him.

TUCKER CARLSON: That’s amazing.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. And I have argued with them so many times. I’m like, I love him. I love the man. I don’t care about his flaws, whatever. I love him. I love his fight. I love his passion. I love the fact that you cannot beat him. He will beat anybody and he will not give up. And that’s what I love about President Trump.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

The Pretenders in Congress

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But I serve with people that hate him. And right now they’re having to do the dance. They have to play the game. They have to say the words, and they’re all pretending. They’re literally pretending and they can’t wait. To them, right now, President Trump is a speed bump. They just have to get past that speed bump and then they will. It’s only a few years away. They just have to play the game long enough and do the deed. Not get a truth social put out on them or have him, you know, primary them or primary or, you know, endorse an opponent against them. They have to do that.

And then after that, it’s going to be back to business as usual. Because you wouldn’t believe it. Like the bills that we’re putting together, the lobbyists that are coming in, tucking in what they want. Big donors. Oh, my goodness. The donors that came on board in this last election. New donors. Totally different donors than we’ve ever had before. These big, like the AI Tech bros. Cryptos come around. There’s a whole circle of donors that have all come around. Those aren’t the only ones. And then you always have the military industrial complex.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: All of them have come around and they’re demanding their little things and they. And that’s what they have all tried to tuck into the one big beautiful bill. So it’s going to. It’s business as usual in Washington.

The Obsession with Violence

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s always been that way to some extent. Of course. Always. What I find different from what I thought it was anyway is this obsessive love of violence that, like Tom Cotton, you could have dinner with him and disagree on anything. But if you raise a voice against bombing, people like, Tom Cotton is upset. Like, he wants to be able to kill people, period.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, I know a lot of my colleagues want to kill people.

TUCKER CARLSON: What is that?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think it said darkness. We’re a country. Think about our culture. Ever since I was a little kid, we had movies that we saw, movies where Russia’s the bad guy and the hero in the story defeats the bad Russian. Or there’s a war movie where we defeat Russia or China. It’s whoever the bad guy is. And then the movies where we had war movies of defeating Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, all these movies. And we’ve grown up with Hollywood telling us who the foreign bad guys are.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And making these people are complete enemies and never humanizing them. And so. Yes. And there’s this obsession with war and killing and murder.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And that is sick. It’s sick that America is cheering that we bombed another country. Now, okay, let’s look at that. Yes, Iran is that they sponsor terrorism. They have killed our military, but our military never belonged over in the Middle east in the first place. I’ll argue that all day long. But however, when people that hold power in Washington D.C. like I do, but everyone I work with is just over the top excited that we may be going to war to kill people, they never think about the innocent people or they don’t care about the innocent people.

The Connection Between Personal Weakness and Enthusiasm for Violence

TUCKER CARLSON: I have noticed there’s a connection between the internal weakness in a person and enthusiasm for killing. So I’ve always wondered like, why is it the people with the weirdest, most unhappy personal lives and I don’t, you know, I’m really trying not to be mean so I’m going to like not use names. But boy, I know a lot of them just living there my whole life. They’re the most enthusiastic about exerting force on other people, including like children and villagers and stuff. It’s like really dark, but it makes them feel powerful.

Like, you almost never see a strong man get excited about killing. No, you see strong men who kill, but they always have mixed feelings about it. I had to do it, you know, but.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. Or were ordered to do it.

TUCKER CARLSON: Ordered to do it.

The Psychological Toll on Veterans

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I met just this morning with one of my counties. They came up to visit me. And so we had this great breakfast and met with everybody there. And two different groups that were in the big group were veterans groups. And they were literally telling me this morning about how many veterans they are working with. They that live with the horrors in their mind of what they did, kicking in doors, going into some family’s home, searching for enemies and terrorists.

And, you know, some of them killed the father of the family in front of their children. These are the horrors that our brothers, cousins, uncles, fathers, friends live with for the rest of their life. And they cannot function. They cannot have a normal life. Their marriages fall apart, they turn to drugs and alcoholism. They can’t keep a job, and they. This is what it has done to them. So, Tucker, I totally agree with you. I don’t know what is wrong with America that anybody cheers that on.

TUCKER CARLSON: The two issues that people are completely unreasonable about. Literally unreasonable. Reason doesn’t enter into it. It’s just such strong emotion that it’ll end friendships or start friendships. All of a sudden you have Bill Kristol praising the Trump administration. Are war and abortion.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

The Allure of Power Over Life and Death

TUCKER CARLSON: And it’s the power that people feel when they kill is the. I think it’s the most alluring power there is. More powerful than sex, more powerful than money. Being able to take a life makes you feel like God. And for a lot of people like Lindsey Graham, it compensates for a hollowness inside, a lack of a successful life. No family, et cetera, whatever. I don’t want to be Freud here, but it’s the weakest people who are the most excited to take a life. I just can’t get past that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that’s accurate. Yes, I would say that’s accurate. I would just also say what is wrong with our culture? How did we get to this place? Because honestly, okay, it doesn’t matter what country it is in the world, those people are responsible for their government. If they want to tear it down, they will tear it down. I mean, that’s a historical fact. Any group of people, if they hate their government enough, they will tear it down.

So if Iran wants, if those people want to tear down their government, God bless them, let them do it. But it’s not our job to do it. Now Israel wants it to be our job. Of course they want regime change, and they are. That is their goal. And that’s why we’re seeing propaganda back on the news that now Iran is months away from having a nuclear weapon, rebuilding their program and having a nuclear weapon, because we have to go right back to it. They’ve been saying that since the 1990s, so they have to say it again, over and over and over again.

But that’s what they want. And they want America to be drug into it. I got to tell you, it was the coolest thing this past week when I took a really hard stance and I said, I’m totally against this. This is literally what we campaigned on not doing. And here we’re doing the thing we said we wouldn’t do. Like, why? Why are we doing the thing we said we wouldn’t do?

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, shut up, Marjorie. Just go along with it.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s what I was told.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, I bet.

The Divided Response to Anti-War Stance

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. You were literally. Shut up, Marjorie. I get that a lot. But no, here, this is what I. This was so crazy to me. We’re doing the thing that we said we wouldn’t do. And when I spoke out against was Matt, it was like just what you described. Two sides raging, raging on the issue. The one side that was like, yes, we are. We will defend Israel. We will defend them no matter what, against anyone. We’ll send our children to die for them. We will. We will. We’ll take all the nuclear bombs upon ourself before we let anything happen to Israel. So we had that whole side and war, war, war.

TUCKER CARLSON: What is that?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t know. I don’t know. And then we had the whole other side, which was all these people that came out of the woodwork from all. All over the place. Democrats, liberals, progressives, Republicans, MAGA, America first flooding in. And it was an all range of things. As you know, the MAGA in America first people was like, I agree with MTG, she’s right.

And then you’ve got the people on the left are going, oh, my God, what is happening to me? This is the end of the world. I’m agreeing with MTG. Like, they’re doing mental gymnastics that. Because they’re agreeing with me, and it was hilarious. But they’re flooding my office with phone calls agreeing with me. And I’m sitting here going, hey, hey, Republicans. Remember we said we weren’t going to do this. Imagine how much support we could have if we stuck with it. Like, if we actually stuck with what we said. And actually meant it. Because now there’s a lot of people that feel betrayed that we didn’t stick with that.

TUCKER CARLSON: I know.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And that’s not what President Trump wants. Absolutely. That’s not what he wants. You know, he’s. And I have to. I have to give him all the praise and credit. He bombed them, and then he pulled out, thank God. And I loved it when he dropped the F bomb talking to the press and he was telling. He was like, both of them have gone crazy. I was so that was. I was like, inject this in my veins right now. This is exactly what I want to hear. But it was the two major reactions that. That blew my mind. Absolutely blew my mind.

Finding Common Ground on Opposition to Killing

TUCKER CARLSON: I’m not entirely surprised. I’ve seen that. It is a kind of weird feeling to be praised by people you disagree with on everything or think you disagree with it. I’m like, who knows? I don’t know. Everything’s kind of up for grabs. I’m against killing people.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: Innocence. I’m just opposed. I’m totally opposed to abortion. I think euthanasia is one of the worst thing. Most evil things I can think of.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Me, too. I agree.

TUCKER CARLSON: And I think wars of choice are really evil. That’s my view.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yep.

Christian Support for Israel’s Secular Government

TUCKER CARLSON: But what’s interesting. And I. I feel that instinctively, but I also feel it. I feel like, theologically that’s correct, I guess. Like, what do I know? But I feel it. Um, but you represent a district in Georgia that’s very heavily Protestant Christian. I’m Protestant Christian. You are, too?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: And there is a feeling among a lot of Protestant Christians, non mainline, what we call evangelicals, I guess, is the term they use, that we have a moral obligation to support the secular government of Israel, that God tells us that we have to fight these wars for the secular government of Israel, not for the ancient nation of Israel or the Jewish people, but for the secular government that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That. That supports abortion and. And supports LGBTQ and trans.

TUCKER CARLSON: And sue, two questions. One, what kind of reaction have you gotten from those voters, many of whom are like, some of the best people I know?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I just want to say that, oh, they’re great.

TUCKER CARLSON: They’re great, and they’re all your fans, but what kind of reaction have you gotten from them? And second, where does that come from? That belief?

The Origins of Pro-Israel Theology in Churches

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think. I’m sure some of them are mad at me right now. I can totally expect that and understand it, and I’m sure we’ll work it out. That’s something I do know where. I don’t know where it comes From I think, to me, what I’ve witnessed, just from my opinion, it is embedded in our education system. We’re taught all these things. We’re of course, taught about the Holocaust, taught about the nation of Israel. It’s embedded in our education. But it’s also embedded in church. It’s embedded in church. And they take that verse back in. I guess it’s Genesis 12. Genesis 12. Bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, there’s in the. I checked the other day because I had this interesting conversation with Ted Cruz, who said his theology was based on that verse. He had no idea where in the Bible it was and couldn’t describe really what it meant. But that’s his theology. Try not to be disrespectful, though. I have no respect for it. I just want to say. But anyway, I looked at the. In my Bible, I checked two different translations. There’s no word Israel in there. I don’t know quite know. I don’t know enough to know what he’s really talking about, but. Right, but that’s very common for kids in Sunday school to be taught.

Biblical Interpretation and End Times Theology

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It’s used in Sunday school and it’s used in Bible studies and it’s related to the end times. I’ve done those Bible study groups. It is very much tied into Revelations. And they walk all the way through. They tie it in with the covenant. They tie it in all the way. And look, I’m not going to pretend I’m a Bible scholar. I’m not going to pretend that I know everything. As a matter of fact, I’ll sit way back in the back. I know who I am. I know I’m a sinner. And I’m not going to try to tell anybody what they should believe.

But I’ve read my Bible. I grew up Catholic, and then I didn’t like the pedophile priest issue. Didn’t want to raise my children in that. So I left the church. And I’m just a Christian, just a simple Christian. And I’ve read my Bible, and the one thing I know is it says a lot of other things in there. It says, do not murder. That’s pretty important. Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: Someone hits you in the face, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your cloak, you know, give them the rest of your clothes. I mean, it’s like that’s from Jesus. So Christians care above all what Jesus says.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think I do.

The Contradiction Between Christian Teaching and War Support

TUCKER CARLSON: How have we gotten to the point where you have sincere Christians who I think I probably agree with on everything, certainly most things, who people I love would be delighted to have dinner with. I mean no disrespect at all to them, but how do we get to a point where good people like that are making the case that Jesus wants more bombing? What is that?

America’s Absence from Biblical Prophecy

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, also look at Jesus himself. He was persecuted in his lifetime by the leaders of Israel, the leaders at the temple. He was persecuted by his own people’s leaders. And that’s something to recognize. And all of the prophets throughout the Old Testament, who were they persecuted and killed by the leaders of their day. It was. It’s. It’s throughout the entire Bible. So it’s. It’s not uncommon that this would be happening.

And here’s what. Here’s what I find interesting. I don’t think. Well, America, if you’ve read Revelations, is not in Revelations.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And nobody wants to talk about that. And we need to say, why is America not in Revelations? And I think we could come up with all kinds of theories, but I know for a fact it’s not in there, because I’ve read that part too.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. I don’t think John was aware in his cave on Patmos of the United States of America.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, and when he was given that entire vision and shown all of that, he wasn’t shown America. So there’s a clear reason, and we don’t know why. But I think back to this story is Americans have been taught that they have to do whatever Israel says. And it’s the secular government of Israel. The secular government should not be telling Christians in America what they should and shouldn’t do with their tax dollars, with their military, and with who their allegiance should go to.

TUCKER CARLSON: Boy, I got a lecture on Christian theology the day from David Friedman, the former a Trump ambassador to Israel. And I was like, not against David Friedman. Seemed smart, but like, seemed a little much to be giving me a lecture about Christian theology.

America First vs. Foreign Allegiances

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, and also this, here’s something else we have to recognize with people that are like mad at me or mad at you about saying these things. We need to rec. They need to think about this too is like, hey, we all live in this house. It’s called the United States of America. This is our house.

And if we are giving our full allegiance to another foreign country who doesn’t pay our taxes will not pay off our debt did not come and defend our southern border when it was invaded for four years straight when it, when its prime minister Netanyahu was the first to congratulate Joe Biden being president of the United States. He was the first foreign leader. I don’t understand a country that has.

TUCKER CARLSON: Long standing military ties to China.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, there’s that.

TUCKER CARLSON: Which runs the port of Haifa. I don’t, I, I mean, I’m not attacking. Look, Israel’s doing what it thinks it needs to do. I just want to say for the 50th time, I’m not especially mad at Israel.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Not mad at Israel at our leaders.

TUCKER CARLSON: Who don’t seem to care about the United States. I, that’s it.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And that’s the problem. And that’s where we are. We have this house. It’s our House, the United States of America. And our elected leaders are not fully focused on our house and our problem with our children and their future.

And that’s why we are opening the door wide open to foreigners that have moved to the United States of America and profess insane socialist and communist views. And they are going to get elected. There’s another one running against Nancy Pelosi, AOC’s former campaign manager and, and chief of staff. And he sounds just like that mayor in New York. And he is, he is a Democrat Primary, Nancy Pelosi. So this whole thing is going to, the left is going to go in a whole nother direction because Republicans who professed America first are not solving the problems in our House.

Economic Realities for Young Americans

TUCKER CARLSON: And Republicans refuse to talk about economics like actual economics, not bullshit economics, GDP and tax cuts, but actually like, it’s too expensive for my kids to buy a house. What are you doing about that?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: And the answer is absolutely Nothing other than yelling, you’re a socialist. I’m not insecure about being a socialist. I don’t really care what people call me. But that is a much bigger problem than anything Iran is cooking up in its centrifuges, as far as I’m concerned. Certainly a bigger problem for everyone. I know my kids can’t buy a house, therefore they can’t get married and have kids.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right? So think about this. Last week, our kids were just thinking about, I can’t afford to buy a house. Where am I going to get a good job? All my friends can’t find a good job. A lot of young women that are conservative are like, where am I going to find a good man? A lot of conservative young men are like, where can I find a decent young woman to marry? Because many of them are insane, have turned left or so far left.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. So last week, 37 sexual partners, which, sorry, people aren’t into it. You know who’s into that? It demands.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Not I. So there’s all the. But, but think about it. Last week they were thinking about all their other problems that they already have, but they weren’t thinking about, do I have to worry about a terrorist attack happening here in the United States?

Fast forward to this week. Now it’s like, oh, my gosh, not only is life unaffordable and all these unknowns and all these problems I have, and my credit card debt is. My credit cards are maxed out and I can’t go on vacation and I want to go with my friends and I want to go to this concert, but I can’t afford it. But now they have to think about, oh, if I do go to that concert, there could be a terrorist attack because we bombed Iran.

It’s like a whole nother, A whole nother set of problems. And so, of course, when this guy that’s running for mayor of New York City, iconic New York City, is talking to New Yorkers and he says on the debate stage, when he’s asked, what foreign country do you want to go visit? And the rest of them are saying, Israel. And he says, I don’t want to go. I just want to stay here in New York. Of course they’re going to listen to him.

Importing Foreign Conflicts

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, I listen to him. And I, I don’t want to do mayor of New York at all. I, I think it’s so important that someone responsible and reasonable and American runs New York. But I guess in general, I just resent, I resent importing foreign conflicts into our country. Ancient race hatreds, religious Ethnic hatreds. What does that have to do with us?

And I feel like we’ve definitely wholesale imported that. I get texts all the time from, you know, some people I like, but, you know, Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, telling me about some fight in U.S. or Canada between different Muslim or Hindu groups. And I’m not against any of them. I like them all.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I’m not sure.

TUCKER CARLSON: But what does that have to do with North America?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Nothing.

TUCKER CARLSON: So why did we. Other countries don’t put up with that. You try that in the UAE.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: You’re some. This happened. You’re some Pakistani worker building office buildings in the Gulf. And you, like, have a march through downtown Abu Dhabi saying, I’m, you know, I’m mad at India. They’re like, you’re out on the first.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Flight right back to Lahore burning their flag.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. Nothing personal.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. If they’re out. If you’re out there burning their Indian flag, I’d love to see what happens to you. Yeah, well, they.

TUCKER CARLSON: I mean, the attitude of the Emirati government is that has nothing to do. Don’t bring that shit here.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: Even if we’re on your side. I mean, you know what I mean, right?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes, 100%.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But okay, so in Congress, we have. I think it’s 32 members of Congress are foreign born, not born in the United States.

TUCKER CARLSON: Really?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: 32. I serve with them. 32.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, I was surprised to learn that Ted Cruz is not American. He’s like a secret Canadian.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: He’s from Canada, not Texas. Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: So Canada. Does it border Texas?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t think so. Not on the map I saw.

AIPAC’s Influence on Congressional Candidates

TUCKER CARLSON: Okay, so what is it? I’ve been. It feels weird even to ask you because I’ve spent so many decades studiously ignoring this issue. I don’t want to engage. I think it’s weird. It’s always bothered me, but I don’t want to talk about it because I don’t want to fight about it. But it’s been pushed. You can’t ignore it. And you brought it up.

Why are almost every single. Every single Republican I’m aware of, other than you, and maybe Massie is like in this weird kind of Israel worship mode all the time. And many Democrats, by the way, Pelosi chief among them.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: When is that? So when a candidate. When a candidate steps forward and they’re running for Congress, they get approached by all kinds of groups, all the special issue groups, everything from pro life groups to pro gun groups to Christian groups. And there’s a group called AIPAC, and they come too.

And so everybody they’ll have a form, a survey form for you to fill out. Each group has a survey form because they want to know where you are on the issues, which I think is a good thing. I think Second Amendment groups need to know, hey, are you going to take away my gun rights? I think that’s the right thing to be asking candidates, pro life groups, are you going to go to Washington and vote to kill babies? Like, we want to know who you are. I think that’s great.

Well, there’s a group called AIPAC, and they come and they want to know what’s your position on Israel? And they want you to write a paper and they want to know. They want to feel you out on your position on Israel. And then if you get elected to Congress, if you win your race, everyone’s freshman year, AIPAC will take Republicans and Democrats, new members, on a special trip to Israel.

TUCKER CARLSON: Do they pay for it?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t know. I don’t know because they didn’t take me. They didn’t take me.

TUCKER CARLSON: Were you the only one in your class who didn’t go?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think I’m the only one in my class that did not get invited. I didn’t even get invited. It wasn’t that I turned it down. I didn’t even get invited. And I’m not anti semitic. I have again, I wish Israel the best. I wish them all the best. I wish everybody the best. But they didn’t take me on the trip.

TUCKER CARLSON: I do, too.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, I mean, but they didn’t take me on the trip. So I don’t know if it’s. They pay for it, but I should find that out because I think that’s important. But here’s the situation, and I, It’s. It can’t be ignored. And I have no problem talking about it. I think any special interest group, if they are representing another country, a foreign country, they have to register that way.

Foreign Agent Registration Requirements

TUCKER CARLSON: Under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: FARA, we have a law. Yes, they should register under, under that law. And I think. And their Americans are members of AIPAC. They’re members. They donate to it.

TUCKER CARLSON: Sure.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But if you’re still an American and you were representing this, the interest of any foreign country, you still have to register.

TUCKER CARLSON: Paul Manafort’s an American. He’s from Connecticut. He’s from, like, Meriden, Connecticut or something. Weathersfield, Connecticut. He’s from Connecticut. And he was convicted as an American for not registering as a foreign agent, as a foreign lobbyist. So I mean, the argument that it’s Americans doing the lobbying that’s the point. Americans who are lobbying on behalf of a foreign country have to register. Doesn’t mean they can’t lobby. It’s just. It’s fair to have them register.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes. So.

TUCKER CARLSON: So why isn’t AIPAC registered? Why aren’t they registered under FARA? I don’t understand that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think everybody’s too afraid to push that issue.

TUCKER CARLSON: Why?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I. Tucker, I have no idea. Because that is. I think it’s because it’s such a strong group that will come against you. They will come against you. They will fund a primary against you. I’ll probably get a primary funded against me for even saying this on this show. But you know what? I don’t care.

TUCKER CARLSON: I think you were getting one anyway.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Sure, I’m probably getting one, and that’s fine. And my district can vote for whoever they want to represent them. They can.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s just funny. It’s like you and Massie are the only member and the whole class. Republicans are the majority of the House of representatives. Majority of 435.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. Both sides.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, 535 with the Senate. I still think you and Massey are the only ones who’ve ever said anything like this.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Probably. Oh, I’m sure. I’m sure we’re the only ones. We’re not the only ones that think it, but we’re the only ones that say it.

TUCKER CARLSON: So that’s my next question.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But it’s not anti Semitic to say it.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, obviously.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s because if I had a group coming to me and saying, we really want to make sure that you’re voting to fund $3.3 billion, you know, every single year to whatever. Switzerland. Exactly. That would be the same thing.

TUCKER CARLSON: I love Switzerland. I have ancestors who came from Switzerland and I go a lot. It’s just an amazing country. I couldn’t support it more. I wish Switzerland would. Well, as I wish Israel. Well. But if there were, maybe there is a Swiss lobby. I would. In a. Probably. As I’m sure there is.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: There’s every kind of lobby.

TUCKER CARLSON: Right. I’m not. They don’t need the help, I guess, but I would. Neither is Israel really. But I would expect them to register under the law, of course. And I wouldn’t be an anti Swiss bigot.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: For saying otherwise. So I guess I don’t really want to play along, but I’m wondering. This is all so very obvious and so rational and so relevant right now. Does anybody ever mention this in the Congress? You’ve been there for a while.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. They have their blind Faith and loyalty. Blind faith and loyalty. And they’re scared to say it.

TUCKER CARLSON: What about the guy who showed up in a foreign military uniform?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Zelensky?

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, there’s that. They worship, by the way. I just want to be clear. It’s not just Israel that they worship, they also worship.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, they worship him. Oh my goodness. They worship him.

TUCKER CARLSON: That’s a clear.

Congressional Propaganda and Foreign Influence

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But you should see the propaganda. I could go for days on that one. I, you know, I went hard against that war. That war started and, and it wasn’t a month after that war started and we had Ukrainian soldiers in their uniforms, injured Ukrainian soldiers on crutches, tight fitting uniforms. Because a lot of this is limping through the halls of Congress going and visiting our offices, begging for help. We need help. Hitler is going to come and take our country and steamroll across Europe. Vladimir Putin. But that’s what they, that was the thing.

But so we get you. The propaganda that comes through the halls of Congress is incredible. It’s incredible.

TUCKER CARLSON: But do you ever sit in the, you know, in the House and ever have someone say, we’re voting on our 22nd Israel resolution? Like it’s, this is a lot, actually.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I did finally.

TUCKER CARLSON: But does anybody ever say again like, no, we have a country too. 350 million people live here.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: No one ever says that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: So Nancy Mace is like, she’s just excited to vote for another yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes, yes.

TUCKER CARLSON: So it’s not just everyone talks about AIPAC. I’ve already said I think they should, of course they should register under FARA. It’s a foreign lobby.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It’s common sense not attacking them. It’s not even say anything bad about them. They just should be.

TUCKER CARLSON: And it’s insulting.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. They can continue that.

TUCKER CARLSON: Everyone’s afraid to say that. You shouldn’t be afraid.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Afraid, no.

Foreign Military Service and Congressional Representation

TUCKER CARLSON: But it’s not just there’s something like, what is this? This, I think is the weirdest thing. Brian Mast shows up in an IDF uniform in the congress. I don’t know Brian Mast. I’m sure he’s a delightful person. But like, are you allowed to show up in a foreign military uniform in the Congress?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t think it’s, I, I don’t, it’s like waving a foreign flag on the floor, all over the place. But he served in the, he served over there and the IDF. Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: How can you, how can an American serve in a foreign military and keep his citizenship?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I have no idea. It’s the same thing as how can foreign born people serve and be members of Congress? I, I don’t understand how that.

TUCKER CARLSON: But serving in a foreign military, that’s pretty serious.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes. Giving your. You swear an oath and you swear your allegiance to fight and die for that country. You’re saying I’m willing to die for this country. But then you can serve in our country’s Congress.

TUCKER CARLSON: I mean, but how can you remain a citizen? If I go and serve in the Russian army, I assume. Yeah, I have no plans to.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I’m not Russian.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, I don’t want to. But if I did, I think people would say fairly like, how can you be an American? Don’t you forfeit your citizenship by doing that?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: People would say, yeah, they definitely would come.

TUCKER CARLSON: Of course I’d go to jail for it.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, the New York Post mocked me and called me Moscow Marjorie. And, and put it on their front page because I didn’t want to vote to fund Ukraine. So clearly. Yeah, Moscow Marjorie. Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: Funny, the New York, any Murdoch publication is just agnostic. Agnostic on most things, but really pro war.

Media Coverage and War Propaganda

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, they love war. Yeah, well they love helps their ratings. It keeps all the baby boomers glued to the television 24 hours a day because they’re terrified that bombs are going to fall on America. Something terrible is going to happen. You have to keep up with it.

Funniest thing to me, Tucker, was how come? Okay, look, our country funded that war in Ukraine. Funded it. And our and our military leaders ran that war. They have been all about that war. We fund their government, we fund their retirement, we have funded their small businesses. We, the American people, tragically have kept Ukraine afloat.

But how come we couldn’t watch that war on television? And I say that sarcastically because I think it’s ridiculous. We could watch the Israel and Iran launching bombs at each other and exploding in their cities and people’s reactions and the non stop commentary and counting missiles and how many missiles they shot down. But we never saw that with Ukraine and Russia. And I want to know why. Why didn’t we see that?

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, now we don’t see it. I asked a bunch of members of Congress, including the speaker of the House, disgraceful person, in my opinion, Mike Johnson. But you know. So you funded this war with billions of our dollars. We’re bankrupt. But you’re paying for this war because you love the Ukrainians so much, how many Ukrainians have died? No clue. Not interested. They’re not interested. Really. You’re funding the war because you love the Ukrainians but you’re not even keeping track of how many of its young men have died or now middle aged.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Men have died, how many fathers, how.

TUCKER CARLSON: Many brothers, how many people with down syndrome? How many Ukrainians with Down syndrome were pulled off the street and sent to go die in a war that you were paying for? They don’t care.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: That’s when I thought, you know, I’m kind of, I’m kind of out.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, totally out on that. But it’s an interesting comparison. Why can you watch one on TV and you can’t watch the other one on TV and I don’t know the answer to that.

TUCKER CARLSON: You should be able to watch whatever you want on TV, right? Pull up pornography on your iPhone. You probably should be able to watch a war that you’re paying for. Right?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But isn’t that, isn’t that just like. Why is that, why do Americans have to be shown that Israel is about to be annihilated? And what are the consequences of that to America if Israel is annihilated? Wait, let’s say it like this. Nuclear armed Israel, Why do we have to be shown on TV 24 hours a day, nuclear armed Israel being bombed and attacked? And why do we have to be. Why do we have to be fed that when we’re not fed that about any other war anywhere else?

TUCKER CARLSON: Being manipulated? That’s why.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes.

Foreign Flags in Congress

TUCKER CARLSON: Why all the flags, the foreign flags in the Congress? I was just up there last week and every member has a foreign flag. Not every member, but a lot of them. The Republicans all have Israeli flags, which I personally think is a beautiful flag. I’m not opposed to the flag.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: But when I was a kid. If you would, I mean, I went to Congress when I was a kid. There are no foreign flags. It’s the United States capital. It’s the capital of our country.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It’s the capital of the United States of America.

TUCKER CARLSON: What do you have one? A foreign flag?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: My job title is representative.

TUCKER CARLSON: Right.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t wear foreign flags. I wear the American flag, so.

TUCKER CARLSON: But you’re one of the only ones who doesn’t wear a foreign flag.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Not many don’t wear foreign flags. Yes, that’s correct. Or no, they’ll wear a pin that will have the American flag and the Israel flag together. And there were. There’s also pins that have the American flag and the Ukraine flag together. And then.

TUCKER CARLSON: Are they the same country?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: Okay.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Contrary to what some people may believe.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. Okay. So is. Does anyone ever talk about this?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. It is widely accepted. It’s an, it’s an everyday part of people’s attire. And then Democrats will wear many foreign flags. I mean, they’ve gone through. They’ve gone through Gaza. They’ve gone through Mexico. They’ve got Iran. Yeah, well.

TUCKER CARLSON: Mexico.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: Really?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: Boy, I think Mexico hates us much more than Iran does.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You know what?

TUCKER CARLSON: I grew up next to Mexico. They don’t like. I like a lot of Mexicans, personally.

Mexican People vs. Government

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I got to tell you, I was in Mexico last weekend. It was great.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, no. Well, Mexicans are great people.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Mexicans are great people.

TUCKER CARLSON: I could not agree more. I could not agree more.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And the area I was in was gorgeous.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, I’m saying the Mexican government.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, the Mexican government. Yeah, enough of that.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But no, the people there. Oh, my goodness, wonderful people. They’re bilingual. Their English is perfect. And it’s not because they were in the United States. It’s because they learn English and Spanish in their schools as they’re growing up.

The customer service was the best customer service I have had in decades. And customer service is one of the things I’m really picky about, because I grew up in a construction company, and my dad’s number one rule was customer is king. And so you treat the customer as they are the king. And that is how we will survive. That’s how we will make money, is we treat our customers better than anybody. And so it’s a. It’s a little thing I pay attention to.

TUCKER CARLSON: What’s a big thing.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I was blown away. I was like, this is. Everybody’s saying hello to me every single day. They’re asking me if I need anything. I mean, like, everybody. I walk by and I’m going, wait, this isn’t what I was told about Mexico.

TUCKER CARLSON: No. I mean, there are hundreds of thousands of Americans living in Mexico.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, yeah, they love it.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, of course.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But I don’t.

TUCKER CARLSON: They can’t afford to live in the United States.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But we don’t have that kind of customer service in the United States.

TUCKER CARLSON: We definitely don’t.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And we don’t have that kind of mentality in our government.

TUCKER CARLSON: No. I know.

The Washington Lobbying Culture

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: We have a yes. So we have. Everyone I work with is going from dinner or cocktail hour to some lobbying group to some special interest group to. They’re invited to speak. So they feel honored to speak at these groups.

And it’s every single night or a lunch or a breakfast in Washington, D.C. and they’re going and doing all these things, and then they’re wearing their lapel pins or their pocket. Their little pocket handkerchiefs or whatever it may be representing foreign countries or tying them to the United States, as if you could tie a foreign government to our government. That’s ridiculous. And it’s widely accepted and it’s common practice and no one ever questions it.

TUCKER CARLSON: So now you are questioning it without hate, I think.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No.

TUCKER CARLSON: And you said like five times, you’re not mad at Israel, you’re mad at American leaders who refuse to put their own country first, which I think is fair.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: But I mean, you’re going to get crushed for saying this.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Probably.

TUCKER CARLSON: What do you think’s going to happen?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, I think. I don’t know, but I’m sure they’re going to try to find a primary against me.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That won’t say the things that I say.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And they’re going to try to say that I’m betraying Trump when I’m not at all. I have spent millions of my own dollars campaigning for that man all over the country, like, freely just going.

TUCKER CARLSON: Just with him the other day.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes.

TUCKER CARLSON: I saw you with him somewhere at the White House. Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Like I. You cannot make me not love. I love him. I think he’s great and I support him and I think he did a great job. I think it was incredible that our military was so well trained, the strikes that they made. And then President Trump said enough, and he backed out of it. No other president would have done that. And the Congress is upset that he backed out. And Mark Levin’s head is going to explode.

Mark Levin’s Opposition to Ceasefire

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, actually, I have the quote, and I hate to beat up on Mark Levin. He’s got enough problems, obviously, but. So the moment the ceasefire happened, he said this. I hate this word ceasefire. I really do. So how could. I mean, that’s so. I do think your worldview, what you’re like as a person, what you love, what you hate, it is important. And if you hate the word ceasefire. I hate the word like dead children or killing. But ceasefire, that’s the word you hate, haven’t you. I mean, that. Wow, that’s a heavy thing to say.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. So Mark Levin, that is attacking you every hour on his ex account and attacking me and calling me names. And Fox News is tolerating that, by the way, of course, which is, I think, atrocious and pathetic. Any other company, by the way, any other company would never allow their employees to go on their own personal social media and like, verbally berate and attack and call names to people. That’s a fireable offense in the real world and private. In the private sector, no company allows their employees to do that. Fox News is allowing Mark Levin.

TUCKER CARLSON: You can’t fire Mark Levin. He’s got such a huge audience. Oh, wait, no, nobody, nobody voluntarily watches Mark Levin.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Of course, I don’t know anybody that watches Mark Levin. I’m sure someone watches it, but, you know, he’s the great one, apparently. But no, seriously, though, it’s the fact that he hates the word ceasefire is an attack on the president. That’s a real attack on the President. Not the words that I’m saying, not anything that I’ve said, not when I said we shouldn’t be doing this. That wasn’t an attack on the president. That’s going exactly with what President Trump campaigned on.

Now, what Mark Levin is saying, that he hates the word ceasefire. That is his attack on President Trump. That’s him putting the ultimate disapproval. Hate on what President Trump has done. And that we are all so thankful and happy for peace is the ultimate thing that we should pursue at all times. Peace at all times, because it’s good for every country and every single people. But Mark Levin hates it.

Peace Through Strength

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, peace is also the purest expression of strength. And I’m not resurrecting the hoiest quote of all, peace through strength, from Reagan, which there’s truth in that. But peace is a byproduct of strength. When you have a strong father in the home and you’ve got strong parents, the kids get along. You got some flaky Xanax head running the house, the kids are out of control. There’s chaos, there’s fighting.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s right.

TUCKER CARLSON: Like strength brings peace. Dad’s home. Knock that shit off.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: We love that.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, but it’s. But that’s just true. That’s a yes principle that never changes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right?

TUCKER CARLSON: So it’s just funny that there are people. I just can’t get past it. I. I think it’s important to say it because, like, you want your country to be good, you want its leaders to be good. You don’t always have to agree with them. But if their main goal is to kill people, if they. If they don’t have any problem, like watching Randy Fine, who’s a member of Congress, I guess, from Florida, barely elected.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Barely got elected, by the way, in a very red district.

TUCKER CARLSON: In a very red district.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Very red district.

Randy Fine’s Disturbing Social Media Posts

TUCKER CARLSON: But Randy Fine, someone sent him. This is when I got off social media. I’m not. I’m not looking at it anymore because it’s disgusting. But somebody sent him a picture of, like, literally of a dead child, and he’s like, that’s great.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, my goodness. That’s the most horrible thing ever.

TUCKER CARLSON: But how can someone like that serve in the Congress?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I have no idea. They shouldn’t be in Congress.

TUCKER CARLSON: What God is he worshiping? Not talking about God.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Not my God.

TUCKER CARLSON: God wants that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Nope. Nobody. No God. Well, there is no God but God. And our God does not want anyone to celebrate a dead child.

TUCKER CARLSON: So you. I mean, if I’m. If I’m whatever that guy’s name is Mike Johnson running, you know, the Republican speaker of the House. I’m calling Randy Fine. I’m thinking, hey, son, no, you’re not allowed to celebrate dead children on your Twitter. Like, you’re a member of the Republican Party in the Congress. Like, you can’t do that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. No.

TUCKER CARLSON: Did that happen?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I. I don’t know.

TUCKER CARLSON: Did anyone? Did any other. I’m sorry to be mean or so personal. I tried to interview Randy Fine. He canceled on me. But it would have been interesting.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: He would. Yeah, I think I’m mean, but, like, what do you even. He should answer to his district for that.

TUCKER CARLSON: I agree.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I have to answer my district for everything I do and say.

Republican Leadership’s Silence

TUCKER CARLSON: But did other Republicans say, wow, this guy is one of us. He’s part of the conference or whatever they call it. Conference, Conference, conference. Yeah, he’s a Republican, a fellow Republican in the House, and he’s celebrating dead children. Did anybody say, like, that’s not.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I didn’t hear anybody say that.

TUCKER CARLSON: If someone put a swastika on their Twitter feed.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, my goodness.

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, and they should. I’m. I’m opposed. Just for the record, I’m opposed to the swastika.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Wait, let me say for the record, I’m opposed to the swastika.

TUCKER CARLSON: Of course. But if you put a symbol of, like, hate and violence and killing children on your Twitter feed.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Unacceptable.

TUCKER CARLSON: The people who run your party would say something about it, right?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, well, I got. I got kicked out of. I got totally removed from all committees for things that I had put on social media or shared before I ever became a member of Congress.

TUCKER CARLSON: But you weren’t espousing violence, were you?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, I was not espousing any type of violence.

TUCKER CARLSON: I just. I saw that and I was like, I don’t have any choice but to vote Republican, I guess. I don’t know who else I would vote for. Maybe I just won’t vote. But I’m not going to vote for a party that is for killing children.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. 100%. That’s not. What.

TUCKER CARLSON: How could I do that?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You shouldn’t. I don’t think anyone should.

TUCKER CARLSON: Did anyone talk about that in the hallways, like Randy Fine?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, I hadn’t heard about it. You’re the only person I’ve heard talk about it.

TUCKER CARLSON: Really?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes.

TUCKER CARLSON: Honestly, Nancy Mace didn’t notice that her fellow Republican, Randy Fine was putting. I love killing babies.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I. I don’t think so.

TUCKER CARLSON: What about all the pro lifers? Supposed pro lifers I believe in.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I believe the pro life groups would be pretty upset about that.

TUCKER CARLSON: The real ones.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But how many follow? Does anybody even know he posted it?

TUCKER CARLSON: I don’t know. I mean, some. About nine people sent it to me. Like what? I never heard.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: People are paying attention.

TUCKER CARLSON: Randy Fine. Yeah. And every time there’s a bombing. Bombs away.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Like, bombs away. That’s horrible.

TUCKER CARLSON: Or signing ordinance before it goes and kills people.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Celebrating murder, especially of the most innocent. I’m pretty sure that that’s in the Bible, too. Then. There’s very dark things for that. Yeah.

The Republican Brand and Foreign Wars

TUCKER CARLSON: I mean, you could be an atheist and oppose that. It’s just. It’s so obviously repulsive. And I just think Republicans. I mean, you’re an elected Republican. I’m just a bystander who has voted Republican pretty consistently for 40 years. I think. I think it’s bad for the. I hate to use word brand, but.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Like, I think it’s terrible for the brand. Yeah, but that’s what the election was all about. No more foreign wars. No more regime change. No, the. The 13 soldiers that were killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal that devastated the country. I mean, I think that was like the nail in the coffin.

TUCKER CARLSON: I think so.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It was. And we’re still devastated over it. And those poor families and all the. And there’s, you know, and the ones that don’t get talked about. No one talks about the soldiers that were horribly injured.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, I know we.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: We talk about the 13, but there were so many horribly injured that are living with that today. That was the nail in the coffin. And to return back to it, where our party is cheerleading it and apparently sharing the dead bodies of children and celebrating that and celebrating dropping bombs, it’s like, I’m not attacking President Trump because I believe he did what he thinks is right. And how he’s handled it is exactly what I want from him. He has done it better than anybody.

But the party itself and all of the talking heads, whether it’s on the Internet and on television, how they reacted was repulsive to me because they shouldn’t have been like, yeah, we’re going after him. It should have been like, hey, remember what happened to these 13 soldiers and their families and these other soldiers?

TUCKER CARLSON: Well, there should at least be some solemnity. It’s a big thing to kill people. It’s a big thing to drop a bomb. I mean, maybe you think you need to do it. I’m. I’m not always right. I’m often wrong. So maybe I’m wrong. Well, and even if I’m. Even if I’m wrong, you still shouldn’t be gleeful when you drop a bomb on people. What kind of freak are you anyway?

The Generational Divide on Foreign Policy

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, I think that’s horrible. No, no one should celebrate that. Now, if. Here’s. Here’s what we can say is if the mission was successful and they really destroyed the nuclear program, then we can be really proud of our military. That is incredible. And we can be proud of the men and women that carried out that successful mission. And we can be thankful for our president for keeping our country safe. We can go along and say all these things are true, but at the same time, when President Trump and he went in hard and said, it’s time for a ceasefire, it’s time for peace.

But yet we have Mark Levin over there pissed off on his radio show and he’s saying, I hate the word ceasefire. Like, that is. That is disgusting. And that’s not who we are. That is not our movement. That is not America first, that is not MAGA. As a matter of fact, he took off the costume temporarily because he couldn’t take it anymore. It was stifling, it was hot, he was sweaty. You know, you can see the whole thing.

TUCKER CARLSON: He’s getting moist under the skin suit very much.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And he ripped it off and he admitted who he was. Again, I hate the word ceasefire. And so I think it exposed so many.

TUCKER CARLSON: Perfect.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, it’s really sick.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s really sick.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Too visual.

TUCKER CARLSON: I know it’s too visual. It’s just better to, like, have a normal personal life where you don’t have to externalize all your weird fetishes onto the US Military. You know what I mean?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: Sorry. Here I go again. Just once again, I noticed the connection between unhappy people and killing. I mean, there are many examples through history. Well balanced people, wise people, people with a sense of the future, grandchildren, people like that don’t. Don’t behave like Mark Levin.

Real Problems vs. Media Obsessions

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. And regular people don’t behave that way. As a matter of fact, regular people, they’re so. Again, back to being like, okay, we have all these problems. My business, I want to grow my business, but I don’t have any money to invest in it. You know, people that are saying, gosh, I really need to make more money. I can barely pay my mortgage. I can barely pay my bills. My wife’s car is broken down. I can’t afford to buy her a new one. I mean, these are real problems.

This is the stuff that FOX News should be talking about and Mark Levin should be talking about and CNN should be talking about and elected leaders most of all should. We should only be talking about that. I know that’s because my job title is representative in the United States House of Representatives. That’s our job title.

TUCKER CARLSON: Somebody said to me the other day, I don’t know if you, I mean, you are an elected representative, so you have a much better sense of polling and where the public is. But someone said to me yesterday, the reason this push is coming now when there was no, I don’t know, there’s no actual evidence that they were days away. But whatever, I’m glad. I don’t want them to have a bomb. So.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No, we don’t want them to have.

TUCKER CARLSON: But why now? So Steve Witkoff, wonderful man, was on his way to Oman on Sunday, last Sunday. And on Friday, the bombing started. Israel started bombing. They didn’t ask, they just announced that they were doing it and they did it and derailed the, the talks, of course. But why the urgency? And someone said to me the other day, it has to do with the polling on this question. And the only people who support this kind of lunacy are in Mark Levin’s demographic, age, demographic, like it’s older people.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Young, our parents generation, the baby boomers.

The Baby Boomer Media Influence

TUCKER CARLSON: I hate to say that everyone beats up on the boomers, but it’s well deserved if we’re being honest. Really selfish, selfish generation in general. But do you sense that, like, anyone under 40 is for this stuff?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, my gosh, no. No. Baby boomers get their, primarily get their news from television.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: The Republican baby boomers watch Fox News, the Republic. I mean, the Democrat baby boomers, they watch CNN or MSNBC or whatever. That’s where they get their news and that’s where they receive all the propaganda fed into their head.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: About what they should think, what they should believe, who they should support, how they should vote, when they should protest, what, who they need to be mad at. It’s, it’s all there on television for them. But so I’m 51 years old. I’m, I’m Generation X.

TUCKER CARLSON: Right.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: So then there’s, after that, there’s the millennials and then there’s Gen Z. That’s our kids. Everybody from my age down is like a new. Enough of this crap. Everybody my age down is sick of it. They’re fed up. But they don’t get their. They don’t watch TV, they don’t have the TV on the living room 24 hours a day and fall asleep to it while they’re.

TUCKER CARLSON: So you don’t know any 28 year olds who are like, yeah, Iran’s nuclear program is the biggest threat we face and we need to affect regime change if necessary.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Absolutely not ABS. No, 28 year olds are pissed and they’re lost and they’re defeated and they don’t know who to turn to to fix these problems. And they’re facing problems we never faced. And so no, the 20 year olds, 28 year olds are like great, you know, now I’ve got to worry about this too. Like what does that mean? Am I going to be drafted? You know, like what does that mean? They don’t want to have anything to do with it.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s totally true.

The Coming Generational Shift

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It’s insane. And so think about it like this, Tucker. In the next 10 years or maybe a little bit longer, the baby, our parents generation is going to pass away. And by the time that entire generation has moved on and the bulk of it sadly has passed because that’s my mom and was my dad. And when they’re gone and that mentality and those decisions made in Washington based on all of this neocon and fighting for foreign countries and fighting the foreign causes and sending the foreign aid and all of this foreign garbage, once they’re gone, we’re going to be decimated and desolate because we will have never poured back into our own country.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yes.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And then we’re going to have our generation of kids who at that time are going to be like in their 30s. It’s going to be really hard for them.

TUCKER CARLSON: Oh, I totally agree.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And so that generation will be gone and Mark Levin won’t get to affect put his opinion on anybody.

TUCKER CARLSON: No.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And it won’t matter anymore. And I don’t even know if people will watch TV anymore. Who knows? No, they’re going to be sick of it. I mean I think they’re already sick of it. People are checking out.

TUCKER CARLSON: We’re going to get radical politics.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But I think it’s going to be before 10 years.

The Venezuela Warning

TUCKER CARLSON: When I was a kid I went with my dad to Venezuela, to Caracas and was probably late 70s, great town, great city. It was a, you know, biggest oil reserves in the world. It was rich country, beautiful, super nice people, beautiful women. You know, it’s just great crocs. Venezuela was great. The economy of Venezuela was always pretty centralized. Basically came down to like a very small number of families controlled everything, which is fine unless you marry that to democracy. You give everyone a vote. So you can only have an economy that’s pyramid shaped.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: If you don’t give everyone the vote, but the second you give everyone the vote, you better share the wealth or just shut it down and make it an oligarchy. But you can’t have those two together. So they had those two together and then they elected a Marxist who, you know, and all those rich people who were there when I was in Caracas are now living in South Florida and of course, you know, paying politicians to hate Maduro or whatever. But, but the point is it’s not even about Chavez or Maduro. It’s like they were the products of a society that couldn’t sustain a middle class.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Right.

TUCKER CARLSON: And that’s going to happen to us.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It’s already happening. It’s already happening.

TUCKER CARLSON: I wrote a whole book about this that nobody read a number of years ago because it was so obvious that it was coming to. So obvious to me, this is what you’re going to get. You’re going to get. It’s going to be about economics too. Do you, do you feel that?

Money and Happiness

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, for sure. It’s always about money. I know, and that’s, I mean that it’s, it’s, it should be our responsibility to make an, to create an environment, to create a system, to create an economy where everybody can get rich.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Where people can actually make a lot of money. Because when you make a lot of money, guess what? You are happy. I know they tell you that money doesn’t buy happiness, but guess what? Money definitely buys a lot of happiness. It doesn’t make you perfect. It doesn’t, doesn’t solve who you are on the inside, but it solves a lot of problems. And we have created a system, we’ve created an economy where we are creating a lot of unhappiness because people are going broke.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s true.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And there is no, in Washington D.C. everyone is drawn by whatever group they’re speaking to, whatever lobbyist, centrist, all these things that are pulling them away from, from what we really should be doing. And we’re not fixing the problems totally.

TUCKER CARLSON: Right.

The Georgia Warning

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And I think it’s going to. So you asked me in the beginning which direction. Well, it will go. And so there’s two things I have to talk about, directions on. One of them is with our country, it’s really going to be up to the American people, if they’re willing to get in there and really make a difference and fight for our country to not be taken over by these insane people that are going to all of a sudden start running for office everywhere. That is a decision that people have to make.

And I’m watching it in my own home state of Georgia. I’m watching it right now. We are coming up on the next election cycle. It is going 20, 26. We have our governors, lieutenant governor, secretary of state is all the entire slate, our entire state. All positions are on the ballot and a Senate seat. And I am not seeing the willingness in the state of Georgia to rise to the occasion among Republicans, voters and donors, especially among donors, because they don’t see the threat that’s coming for them.

They. They have been living in Georgia where everything has been, you know, we have a great state. Everything’s wonderful. Life is great there. Republicans have been in control. Have they done everything perfect? No, but my goodness, they’ve done a lot right. So, no. Everybody’s kicking back. You know, it’s like they don’t worry about it. Why would they worry about it? But they are not aware that we’re so purple. Oh, my goodness. Georgia is on the brink of being stolen. And it’s like this, Tucker, Democrats stole California years ago.

TUCKER CARLSON: I know. I noticed.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, it’s a communist state. They have seriously taken New York to the point of something terrifying. And we saw that election yesterday. Think about those states, okay? California, ports in California, powerful ports. That’s trade. That’s everything. New York, super powerful ports. That’s where airports. That’s where people come in from all over the world to California, New York.

The state of Georgia is very similar, and the Democrats know it. But the Republicans are not paying attention to how important Georgia is. Georgia is the economic hub of the South. We have the busiest airport in the world in Atlanta. We have the third largest port in the country, the third largest port in Savannah. We have I-75, I-85. We have so much trade and commerce in our barely red state that two Democrat senators hold seats in, by the way.

And the people of. They are not rising to the occasion. They are not serious about defeating Democrats in this next election. It feels like they are on autopilot and they are snoozing. But when the Democrats take the state of Georgia, they will. It’s. It. It’s impactful. It’s impactful on our economy. And it’s a power structure that’s terrifying. When you put it, the dynamic of California, New York, and if they take Georgia.

The Cycle of Disenfranchisement

TUCKER CARLSON: So I. I think the cycle is. You let the middle class wither. You make it impossible for people to own anything. And then all of a sudden you have like an entire army, shock troops of disenfranchised, unhappy people. Who are your voters.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That are desperate.

TUCKER CARLSON: Exactly.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And who will they turn to?

Republican Leadership’s Misunderstanding of the Political Landscape

TUCKER CARLSON: The most radical person.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s right.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. No, there’s no doubt about it. Do you think the White House understands this?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I hope they understand.

TUCKER CARLSON: So what’s going to happen is you’re going to see some seriously radical people elected in 2026, next fall, a year from November, and the story will be, well, they’re just pissed at Trump. It’s anti Trump. You know, of course, I’m sure they don’t like Trump, but that’s not what it is.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s the state of the economy, for sure. And it’s the fact that Larry Fink has all the money.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It’s. It’s the fact. Yeah. It’s the. It’s the fact that our nation’s leaders have been America last.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: For a very long time.

Future Political Plans and Georgia’s Political Climate

TUCKER CARLSON: So what are you going to do? Are you going to run for your seat again?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I. Yeah, I’m going to run for my seat again. I don’t know. I have options. Yeah, I do have options, but I look at my home state and I go, you know what? I love my. I love Georgia more than any place on the planet.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And I would fight for them to the death, but if they’re not willing to fight, too, then why would I throw myself out?

TUCKER CARLSON: I just noticed I referred to it before and I’ve lived it, by the way. I ran away from the city I lived in, and everyone I know, my age, I’m 56, you know, who can afford it. It’s like I’m moving to my summer house or whatever. It’s like I’m out of here.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah.

TUCKER CARLSON: You know what I mean, Right? How about southeast Idaho? I should live in Driggs. No, for real, though. People are just like, I don’t want to deal with it. I’m leaving. And that is understandable. I mean, again, I did it, so I’m not judging. But it’s also kind of ignoble. It’s not. It’s not impressive to do that. Like, impressive people say, no, no, no, my parents are from here, I’m staying. Like, I’m not leaving.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: But at the same time, you can’t do it by yourself.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, I know.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And that’s that you need people.

TUCKER CARLSON: And you. It does feel like people who are vested in the system just don’t want to fight, do they?

Republicans’ Blind Spot on Democratic Strategy

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I feel Like Republicans in general don’t see the fight ahead. They are completely blinded. The Republican Party as a whole is completely blinded to what is happening right now. The whole conversation in Washington is Democrats in disarray. Oh, they’re so lost. They don’t, they’re, they’re fighting for the illegals, the criminal cartels that really what they’re saying. Yes, they’re saying Democrats in disarray, like inside, in our, in our meetings. Yeah, Democrats are in disarray. All they’re, they’re going to lose. We’re going to win the midterms. You know.

TUCKER CARLSON: They’re really saying that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes.

TUCKER CARLSON: Kind of congratulating themselves.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. Like, as if it’s like we just won the election in November. So it’s still same, that same kind of vibe. Because Democrat, Democrats are so lost right now, they don’t even know who they are. You know, it’s, it’s that nonstop conversation because they’re seeing them go out and fight ICE and they’re seeing them do these no King protests and they’re seeing them wave foreign countries flags and things like that, and they’re saying Democrats are in disarray when. I don’t see it that way.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, I agree with you completely.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And the Republicans cannot win elections if they don’t understand what the enemy is doing and how they’re rebuilding and the direction that they’re going in.

TUCKER CARLSON: And they’re harnessing rage, real rage. I don’t think it’s aimed necessarily at Trump, but there’s real rage about the decay in the country.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes.

TUCKER CARLSON: Abandoning young people.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s the whole reason everyone voted for President Trump.

TUCKER CARLSON: That’s why he won. Young people.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Absolutely. And that’s why. Another reason why I love him. His message and campaign promises are the greatest, but if Republicans don’t deliver them. Once you burn people, people are too burned. They’ve been burned too many times by the government. They’ve been burned too many times by politicians. They don’t trust anybody anymore. And I don’t blame them. I, I’m like, I feel the same way.

Economic Concerns and Foreign Policy Recklessness

TUCKER CARLSON: Maybe we should just move oil prices up to 100 bucks a barrel because we’re having another war in the Middle east like that, that the reckless. Like, if you brought that up. I said that I was roundly attacked for saying that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I was attacked for that. I was.

TUCKER CARLSON: That’s not a real concern, tanking your economy. I guess it’s not if you’re Mark Levin, but I think most people are concerned about that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, I guess Mark Levin lives that on some other level I don’t live on, but I think cheap gas is, like, the most awesome thing. It’s like every. I know drives by the gas station is like, oh, my gosh, did you see? It’s down to $2.64 and everybody’s celebrating and hoping it keeps going down.

TUCKER CARLSON: So to just kind of casually risk spiking the global oil price like that, because. I don’t know, I just. I. The recklessness of it. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t say this, but I was. I was enraged by that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah, of course. And then also, oil, it goes into so many products. It’s not just the price of gas. It’s literally in everything. It’s in our clothes. It’s in everything. Yeah, oil is in everything.

TUCKER CARLSON: Where do you think your Patagonia fleece comes from?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t have one.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, I’m just saying, like plastic, you know. Polyethylene.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes, exactly.

TUCKER CARLSON: 100. No, it’s all from hydrocarbons. Of course.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yes, of course.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah. No, I’ve. I mean, no, I could go on and on. I’m interested in the topic, but I. What I’m even more interested in right now is the kind of casual risk taking that I’m seeing that I. I really disapprove of. I don’t. If you led your family like that, you should be in jail for sure.

Trump’s Fight for Peace Against Warmongers

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: And I think President Trump. President Trump understood the moment and he himself had to fight back against everybody. When he said, it’s time for peace and it’s time for a ceasefire, he had to fight back these people that were still like, yeah, let’s go, which is ridiculous. It’s absolutely absurd. But they’re celebrating this movement, and the movement is really to destroy the movement that President Trump created and the movement that everybody voted for.

TUCKER CARLSON: You think Tom Cotton’s rooting for MAGA? No, probably not.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Well, we know Ted Cruz is not.

TUCKER CARLSON: No, of course not. And I don’t know, I mean, there is a kind of honor in just saying what you think and just being straightforward about your agenda. I guess what I’m bothered including agendas I hate and or disagree with. But I. I’m really offended by the fakeness. No, it’s MAGA or it’s America first to put another country first. No, it’s not. It’s not. Just say, I, you know, I like America. It’s not, you know, I served in a foreign military. It’s not. I have a foreign flag on my door. So it’s obviously not my first priority. But I like it. Why not just be straightforward? Why lie to me?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I will actually, to be honest with you, I don’t think they are lying. Tucker. They do say that they love whatever country’s flag they have. They do say it and they do give their allegiance to them. Actually, they’re not lying.

Congressional Support and the Anti-Semitic Label

TUCKER CARLSON: One last question. When you’re how many? Because you, you’ve been there a while, you’re a social person. I think people like you, personally, I know they do, because I’ve heard that. How many other Republican members of Congress sort of understand the things that you’ve been saying?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I couldn’t give you an exact number. I think, I think there’s a small percentage of them that agree with me, but they don’t want to say it. They won’t say it out loud. It’s too risky. Or they perceive it to be too risky because they don’t want to be called anti Semitic. That’s the label. It’s like once you get called that label, you get all these nasty articles written about you. You get all these, you know, the RJC comes after you and then, then you’ve got donors coming to you and saying you can’t be anti Semitic when here’s the honest truth.

It’s not anti Semitic to say we shouldn’t be fighting a war that Israel started. And it’s not anti Semitic to say we shouldn’t be doing what Netanyahu is telling us to do when he’s in the tank in polls in his own country. And honestly, that man should have stepped down after October 7th. That was the most horrific, horrible thing that happened to all these innocent people in Israel. And it happened on his watch. And that’s the reality. And I’m quite sure there’s many people in Israel that feel that way.

TUCKER CARLSON: I think he’s at like 30%.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Exactly. And it’s also way more popular in.

TUCKER CARLSON: The Congress than he is in Israel. Way more.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Oh, way more popular. And it’s not anti Semitic to say that there was a vote on Thursday, last Thursday, that he barely won by two votes. And had he have lost that vote, there would have been an election called and according to the polls, he would have lost. And then the next day, on Friday, they attacked, they launched the attack on Iran. And what does war do? Pulls everybody together. And so that’s not anti Semitic to talk about. That’s reality.

America First: Keeping Tax Dollars at Home

And it’s not anti Semitic to say Americans hard earned tax dollars in a nation where we’re $37 trillion in debt shouldn’t be going to Israel or shouldn’t be going to any country, that we should be keeping those at home. We should keep that money at home. You know, there’s towns in my district that could use some money coming down there to fix a water treatment plant or to help pave a road. That’s where our tax dollars should be going to. Should be helping people that were affected by hurricanes. Should be helping people like, oh, my goodness, in Lahaina from. From a fire, all kinds. California, for heaven’s sake. We should be helping our own Americans.

It’s not anti Semitic, and I refuse to have that label put on me. And they’ve tried to do it to me before. And everybody that knows me, knows me, knows that is not true about me. And the reality is it’s a lie and it’s identity politics we need to get over.

Rejecting Identity Politics

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s also identity politics, which I thought we’d given up.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I thought so, too.

TUCKER CARLSON: I was so annoyed by the Democrats. They could never talk about Americans. It was always this group or that group, Malaysian Americans, Lesbian, Filipino Americans or whatever. I’m not against any of them, for the record, but how about just Americans? I remember hearing everybody on Fox giving that lecture. We hated entity politics. And then all of a sudden, they’re just engaged in it like there’s nothing unique. It’s an inherently divisive message, isn’t it? How about passing a bill on behalf of every American citizen, no matter what he or she looks like.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s the only thing we should be doing because our job title is representative.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s so dark, I can’t even handle it. I can’t even handle it. Do you think that. And this is my last question. You’ve been so generous with your time and by the way, from the day you started running and they decided, whoever. Some of the. Your opponents have really good instincts, and they knew that you were going to say what you thought, and that’s the thing that they hated about you. Yeah, but they. They would always say, because you have a Southern accent, she’s stupid. And I would just dare any honest person to listen to the hour and a half we just did. Maybe they hate everything you said. No one thinks you’re stupid. That’s not. That was really smart analysis. Much smarter analysis than I got from Harvard Law School graduate Ted Cruz, I would say. Did you go to Harvard Law School?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: No. Definitely.

TUCKER CARLSON: Okay. Well, anyway, I think it’s. I just think it’s a really smart analysis, what you said. It’s true.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Thank you.

TUCKER CARLSON: Do you feel like any of this will change, the attitudes will change, that the people claiming to put America first actually will.

The Economic Reality Behind Political Shifts

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think there’s a shift happening, and I saw it a little bit. I don’t know how big it is, but I saw a small shift, and I saw it mostly in regular people. And I think there are people I serve with that are feeling it too.

But I don’t know how willing they are to just say, enough. You know, enough of this. I’m just going to focus on our country and my district. Because that’s the simplest thing to say. Most simplest thing to say. I hope I can say. I hope so. But I don’t think it’s going to happen as quickly as I’d like to see it.

TUCKER CARLSON: Yeah, well, 2026, when they get just creamed, you know, election morning, they’re like, oh, Democratic Party is so disorganized. They don’t. They’re still talking about trans stuff. I hated the trans stuff more than I’ve hated almost anything. I mean, I really hated, hurt, destroyed so many lives of kids.

But what it’s really about is economics. And they have just refused to acknowledge that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That’s what it comes down to.

TUCKER CARLSON: Totally, right.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yep. Because what happened under four years of Biden, inflation was crazy. Everything was out of control. The world, our whole country felt unstable. The economy was fake. It was propped up by money pumped into it by the government and all the spending. And look at the shift that happened. People take the crazy.

Corporate Consolidation and Local Communities

TUCKER CARLSON: Private equity owns the houses on your street and your veterinarian and your dental practice and owns everything. And they don’t improve it. They make it shittier, actually.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yeah. Because no one’s going to care about their sweet little. Like, I always love the mom and pop grocery stores, and I hate that they’ve been replaced by Dollar General, of course. Like one of my biggest pet peeves.

TUCKER CARLSON: But you’re not allowed to accuse, to mention, or else you’re a socialist. Ben Shapiro’s like, oh, you’re a socialist. Because I don’t like Dollar General. Really?

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Who’s Ben Shapiro?

TUCKER CARLSON: I have no idea. But I tried to bring this up to him years ago. That. The economic thing. I’m hardly an economist, but I just think being able to afford to live in the country that you were born in and being, you know, having an economy that allows your children to have children, that just seems like that’s the measure.

Beyond Party Politics

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Yep. And you want to know something? That should be the one thing that unifies the entire everybody.

TUCKER CARLSON: It’s All I care about. I’ll tell you that.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I don’t care. I’m getting to the point where I almost don’t care about the two parties anymore. Yeah, I’ve just like. I’m like, why would I be loyal to one? And I definitely disagree with the other one.

But if we can find a place to actually, like, you’re talking about, care about the economy and care about our children’s ability, ability to have a future and raise a family, then I don’t care. I don’t care who I have to work with. It’s just getting to the point where that is so fundamentally important and nothing else should matter.

TUCKER CARLSON: I couldn’t agree more. Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you for spending all this time and good luck, because you will. Definitely. You will. Definitely.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I’m going to need it.

TUCKER CARLSON: You’re going to make the Daily Beast mad. I’m just telling you that you are. You are. They may not even endorse you.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Darn it. I don’t read them, so I don’t care.

TUCKER CARLSON: Thank you.

REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Thank you.
