Marjorie Taylor Greene discusses the Epstein files, arguing for their release to protect victims while accusing bad faith actors of exploiting the topic unless President Trump is implicated. She opposes unauthorized military strikes on Venezuela and defends Nick Fuentes' free speech rights, rejecting anti-Semitism as a political buzzword used to silence criticism of Israel. Greene frames National Guard deployments as necessary against insurrections in Democrat-run cities and views 2024 elections as a referendum on the Democratic Party rather than Trump's agenda. Ultimately, she criticizes House leadership for blocking her bills, asserting that true MAGA support requires ending capital gains taxes on primary home sales. [Automatically generated summary]

Epstein Files and Bad Faith Actors00:04:16
Yes, you've been outspoken about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files to the public, including the names of individuals involved in his sex trafficking network.
Now, Democrats have been calling for that too, along with some of the other Republicans, but most of your party is pushing back and stalling.
Wait a minute.
When Biden was in office, this wouldn't even discuss it.
Nobody cared about the Epstein files.
But you see how she emphasized Republicans are stolen.
Yeah.
She's a bad faith actor.
I think Marjorie Taylor Greene and some people on the left, I think they could have genuine concerns about putting this list out here, but a majority of the people that, whenever the Epstein files are brought up, they are bad faith actors.
They're just trying to use it to attack the other side.
That's exactly what she's doing right here.
Exactly.
Why do you think that is?
Because if President Trump is not implicated in there, what is exactly being protected here?
I have no idea, but it seems like very rich and powerful men are being protected.
And I will.
On both sides.
Yep.
I will sign anybody's resolution, and I'll get on board with anyone's push to release those files because this is about women, especially when they were teenagers, were victims of rape and sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.
And according to the victims, another, there's a list of men that they haven't released yet.
They are afraid of lawsuits.
They're afraid of it.
And I said I would read the list for them on the House floor because I have speech and debate protection there.
However, I also think that this is about all victims of human trafficking, children that are being molested or raped, any men and women that are held in some sort of sexual abuse situation.
What does our government say to them if the government will not release the information on the most famous convicted pedophile in history?
What is that message back?
And I think it's horrendous.
And then you know what else?
This has been a failure across administrations.
It's not just this, this one.
It was the Biden administration, then the Trump administration, then the Obama administration.
It should have all across, spanning this history, should have been released.
And there's clearly powerful people are being protected.
The only one who really got caught is a woman on this is Ghidlaine Maxwell.
Right.
What does that say?
The irony of that.
Yeah.
But she's, no, she, they say she's a monster though.
Yeah.
She's a monster.
They hate her.
Joy made a great point.
Joy finally made a great point.
Yeah, but she was a monster.
Yeah, I know.
But the only one she held accountable is a female.
Yeah.
I mean, there is a lot of irony in that.
Yeah, but they call her a monster.
What are the dudes?
Right.
They won't release them, though.
Yes.
No, thank you to you.
And Thomas Massey's also been great on pushing on this issue.
You mentioned you're notably America First, and you were even critical of President Trump's decision to take preemptive strikes on Iran.
Right now, we're seeing these strikes on Venezuelan vessels in the Pacific, in the Caribbean, without congressional authorization.
I think we both care about stopping the flow of illicit drugs.
Crazy.
But do you think this is something the president can do unilaterally or Congress needs to weigh in on?
Well, I just have to say I have full faith and confidence in our great men and women in our military.
And I believe that they have intel that we don't have and they know what they're doing.
However, I don't believe in regime change.
I don't believe that we should be engaging in war, period.
I'm totally against wars.
I believe in fully protecting our borders and our people, but I don't think that we need to go out and attack other countries.
I will say, though, Sentinel deaths increased in the past five years by 250% in my district alone.
And drug overdose is devastating a lot of rural small towns that have lost a lot of economic opportunities.
And so I am all for our Border Patrol and our military, protecting our country and our people from drugs being smuggled into the country.
Yep, that's right.
Regime Change vs Protecting Borders00:08:46
She said, blow them up.
Because those people are murderers.
Don't show any sympathy or empathy for these people.
They murder American citizens on a daily basis.
Blow them up.
Send arms, limbs, toes, fingers, mushroom tips, testicles back to that family.
Yeah.
No sympathy for those people.
Now, Congressman, as we speak, there seems to be a significant divide on the right over whether to give a platform to noted white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Many prominent conservatives like Ben Shapiro, Senator Josh.
That word white supremacist has lost all meaning.
Yeah, Nick Fuentes, he's not a what when I when I see Nick, he's prejudiced.
I'm prejudiced.
We all have prejudices, but y'all trying to label that man like he wants to burn a cross in people's backyard.
Yeah, it's just he wants to discriminate against minorities.
It's stupid.
He's not that man.
Yeah.
Holly, Ted Cruz, they've spoken out against amplifying him.
You two have had a complicated relationship over the years, but at a moment when anti-Semitism is on the rise, where do you stand on this?
Well, first, I'm not anti-Semitic, but I am critical of the Israeli government.
Look, this word anti-Semitism, yeah, it's just a buzzword.
It's it's they're using the same tactics as the Democrat Party use.
When you criticize the LGBTQ, what do they call you?
Homophobic.
Yeah.
When you just criticize someone, the Israeli government, you're called anti-Semitic.
Anti-Semitic, that's not what anti-Semitic means.
Yeah, anti-Semitic means death to all Jews.
Yeah, discrimination against Jewish people.
Yeah.
That's anti-Semitic.
Yeah.
Equating criticism with anti-Semitism is just a bad faith move.
And anybody that use those buzzwords, anti-Semitism, they're idiots.
They're a joke.
They have no leg to stand on.
It's just a crutch for them to say when they feel uncomfortable.
Oh, man, we're getting exposed.
You're anti-Semitic.
All these people are cowards.
Yeah.
They hide behind that word.
They hide behind what happened during World War II.
Yeah.
Instead of using words to defend our arguments.
So they try to dehumanize you by calling you anti-Semitic.
Yeah.
You just mean domestically speaking because a lot of Nick Fuentes' words are, he hits every group, but very much just Jewish people in general, not Israel, Jewish people.
Well, number one, I don't have to agree with his words on attacking people like that.
However, as a lawmaker, I think it's incredibly important that I defend our First Amendment for every single American.
Of course, that does not apply to death threats or anything like that.
However, I think the most important thing we can have as Americans is our free speech, and it can be speech that I either agree with or completely disagree with.
There's a lot of Republicans attacking her because they don't believe that.
Whenever you attack the Israeli government, they labeled her anti-Semitic.
They labeled her as anti-MAGA.
All these Republicans labeling Tucker Carlson or anybody that criticized Israel as anti-MAGA, they're using the exact same tactics as the left.
That's the exact same thing.
They're doing the exact same playbook.
How are you going to tell me I'm anti-MAGA?
Because I don't agree with you on some things.
Yes.
Especially a foreign government.
And then they have the nerve to say they're America first when they're choosing a foreign government over elected officials, Republicans.
Yeah, over Tucker Carlson, who stood up for the January 6th.
They'd rather call themselves Zionists and stand for the Israeli government over actual Americans.
That Zionist, that term is so stupid.
You feel special when you call yourself a Zionist.
You look like a moron.
You said you're critical of the Israeli government, but you are not anti-Semitic.
You cannot be America first and a Zionist.
You can't.
You're choosing a foreign government over your own citizens.
Nick Fuentez, he's been banned off of all social media platforms.
He can't even have a bank account.
Why?
Because our allegiance to a foreign government.
Stop calling yourself America first.
Stop calling yourself MAGA.
Yeah.
Anti-Semitic.
Most people now believe that if you criticize the Israeli government, you are anti-Semitic.
Do you disagree with that?
Actually, I disagree with that.
I should say many people.
I would say that tide has completely changed.
I think many Americans today see the difference is you can love Jewish Americans and you can love Jewish people and not be critical of people at all.
And you can, I have the right to criticize a foreign government and I can criticize as many of them as I want.
And I can say October 7th was the worst thing and horrific, but I can equally say starving children and killing innocent people and children in Gaza is also horrible.
A lot of people on the right can't even do that.
Nope.
And they have the nerve and the gall to call themselves Christians.
And that's my opinion.
I'm wondering, because, you know, free speech is everything, and it feels like it's harder to do and to have in this country.
Do you think it's a good idea for the military to be marching into our cities and towns right now because maybe people don't like the speech that they're hearing?
How do we combat that and get back to going after the Trump is not sending the National Guard in because of speech that he does not like?
No, it's a show of force to keep people, everybody in line.
Like a lot of these people, ISIS is deporting people that's in our country legally.
And you have these crowds, these many insurrections preventing them from doing their jobs.
And the police department is not even stepping up to help prevent anything happening to them.
Because they're Democrat ran cities.
Yeah.
Of course you got to send the National Guard.
But she framed it.
Like Trump's sending people in to silence people, to silence people's freedom of speech.
Bad faith actor right here.
Yeah.
The people who really are the problems.
Well, you know, on speech, free speech, I want to say that I think that all of us right here are doing a great job of exchanging our ideas and things that we believe in.
And we're doing it in a very professional and kind way.
And in my opinion, I think we need more of that in America.
I really do.
And a lot of people wanted me to come on the show and say nasty things and, you know, all of us to fight.
They wanted all of us to fight.
Thank you for not doing that.
Kevin, that's Republicans going to call her a turncoat.
Yeah.
For having all these women have a logical, rational, adult conversation.
Yeah, because they're sycophants.
That's why.
Yeah.
I didn't want to surround that.
It's like five to one.
No, I didn't want to do that today.
You see, Marjorie and Jim, I bet you'll take all these women out.
Oh, man.
Marjorie, what more to combat these things?
Get over here.
Yeah, yeah, Margaret, man.
Hey, because I believe that people with powerful voices like myself and like you, and especially women to women, we need to pave a new path.
This country, our beautiful country, our red, white, and blue flag is just being ripped to shreds.
And I think it takes women of maturity to sew it back together.
And I think that happens to the first step.
Yep, that would help a lot because we got a lot of immature women elected in government.
I like how this woman, Marjorie Taylor Green, humanized herself.
Right.
Because there's always clips of her.
These women in particular have dehumanized over the years.
But when she came on this show, she shows she's not the monster that the media has tried to portray her as.
You know, I attack women all the time.
I always bring up a scripture, a garden of eating all over again.
And I always say women shouldn't, you know, I make jokes about women losing their rights to vote because, you know, but Marjorie is the exception.
When I envision a strong, powerful, intelligent, strong woman, I want women to emulate Marjorie Green.
Voting for Republicans or Mamdani00:05:10
So it's November 4th is Election Day, and there are some key races for governor in New Jersey and Virginia.
The New York City mayoral race, they're garnering sort of nationwide attention.
And as voters head to the polls, 59% of Americans disapprove of how President Trump is handling his job, according to ABC News, Washington Post, Ipsos poll.
So there are a couple.
Do you think these elections will be a referendum on Trump's agenda and the Republican agenda?
And with the GOP House majority being so slim already, are you worried about 2026?
Because the Democrats only need three seats net to take over the House?
Right.
Well, so in 2024, Kamala Harris won Virginia, Kamala Harris won New Jersey, and Kamala Harris won New York, of course.
Democrats, of course, win New York.
So I think this election is actually a referendum on where is the Democrat Party.
Looking with Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and I think it'll be interesting how it turns out today here, as well as as governor races.
Yeah, yeah.
I personally wouldn't, if I lived here, I wouldn't vote for Andrew Cuomo.
I was very much against, of course, all these women came out with accusations against him, which I found pretty disgusting.
And then the COVID lockdowns and all the people's parents and grandparents who died in nursing homes.
Wait a second.
And you would vote for a Democrat.
Why the hell is like Trump and then Elon Musk saying go vote for I don't get that.
Go vote for Cuomo.
And Cuomo called Trump all kinds of horrible names.
And I was like, why would you, why would you endorse him at all?
Why didn't you endorse the Republican?
Yes.
Doesn't make any sense.
I think New York City deserves Mamdani.
OP wins or how do you say her name?
Silvo?
Silvo?
Sleeway or something.
Sleeway?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But he needs to win because that's the future of the Democrat Party.
Y'all just delaying the inevitable.
That's the direction of the Democrat Party.
Why are you helping the Democrat Party not destroy themselves?
Yeah, I don't get that.
Yeah.
But anyway, let's see what they think.
I can't believe he did that.
Dean Holmes.
Wait a second.
You would vote for a Democratic Socialist?
I would vote for the Republican candidate.
Curtis.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, he has no sense, Joy.
You jump to Mamdani.
Yeah, but as far as the House is concerned, you know, historically, the majority party loses in the midterms.
The only time it did was after 9-11.
So, you know what, I think as Republicans, and I say that as a Republican member of Congress, it's up to us to earn the people's vote and get rehired to be in the majority.
And I very much want to do that.
So, Marjorie, conservatives were criticizing you for coming on this show.
I think you mentioned it already, that there were a few, and you called them, quote unquote, I believe this is you, mostly weak Republican men.
So, would you like to name names?
I'm not one of them.
Yeah.
Well, there's a, I, you know, I think there's a lot of paid social media influencers.
And I found it very interesting that they were the MAGA accounts, but they're all paid.
And they all attacked me when I announced I was coming to join you ladies on the view.
All of them got the memo.
We need to attack her.
She's not a Zionist like us.
Right.
MAGA.
She's not MAGA.
They are not MAGA.
These people that's going after her are Israel first.
Yeah.
No doubt in my mind that Israel first.
And why would y'all think that's very weak and pathetic?
But when I talk about weak Republican men, I'm pretty much talking oftentimes about the leadership in the House and the Senate.
And they're just not getting our agenda done.
And I've got so many bills.
I have a bill you guys in New York would love.
It would end capital gains taxes on the sale of your primary home.
So if you owned a house, that'll on the vote.
Well, we need it back.
But I can't even get it to the floor for a vote without Mike Johnson approving it to come to the floor.
Do you think Mike Johnson should come on this show?
Absolutely.
I think Mike Johnson should come on this show.
I guarantee his answer would be: I've never heard of that show.
I don't know how to agree.
He likes to say that.
Oh, I've never heard of that.
Yeah, he always says that.
I've never came across that.
Everybody's heard of it except Mike Johnson.
I know nothing.
You know what?
Thank you.
Thank you for coming on with us today.
Thank you, Marjorie.
Thank you.
See, she humanized herself.
She humanized herself in front of millions of people that thought she was like this evil, white supremacist-loving woman or something.
Yeah, she's a Republican that thinks for herself.
And the majority of Republicans that are elected nowadays, they're just sycophants.
They'll do any and everything that Trump wants.
I love Trump and I don't regret my vote, but it still thinks there's still a lot of things we could do better.
