And she went on CNN to basically say Donald, I told you and now you are going to lose your entire MAGA base. The entire quote unquote America first movement is done. You've been exposed as an utter fraud and we all hate you Donald. I mean she was not mincing words. So first she was on social media and she was posting things like this. What? What is happening to our military? How many are injured? Have more been killed than we are being told? The administration needs to explain to America what's happening. Pray for our military members and their family. Pray for peace. Then she goes on cnn, speaking with Kaitlan Collins on cnn. And Marjorie Taylor Greene's like, can I be honest? I have no clue what the hell Donald Trump means when he says things like the war will end when I feel it in my bones. She's like, what does that mean? And what does it mean when he keeps on saying that he isn't going to make it to heaven? Why does he keep on saying that? I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene here seems to indicate that she believes that Donald Trump has some serious cognitive impairment. And even in Donald Trump's mind, that Trump thinks that he's not gonna make it too much longer. Why else would he be saying those things? She says, here, play this clip the

president said today he would feel in his bones when this war should end. Is that a clear exit to you? I have no idea what that means. The same way I have no idea, I have no understanding of what he means when he doesn't think, he says he doesn't think he's going to heaven. So I, you know, those are statements that I find concerning. So I honestly have no idea what that means.

More from Marjorie Taylor Greene. And she goes, what the hell is he doing? Why are we sending thousands of more U.S. military troops right now to Iran? Right. News that 5,000 Marine Expeditionary Unit forces are now heading over there. It's going to take them about 10 days to two weeks to get there, which is usually the precursor to a ground invasion. It's the same type of Marine Expeditionary Force that was used, that was kind of the precursor to ground troops in Vietnam. She's like, what are we doing? No one's explained anything. Here, here, play this clip.
B
And it doesn't make any sense. And I'll go further with this. Why are we sending thousands of more U.S. military troops? Why are we sending more of our military resources? Why are we pulling military resources away from other sectors of the world where it's much needed, and putting it all there to fight Iran and to have this war in the Middle East?
A
More from Marjorie Taylor Greene where she said, you know, he told us last summer, last June that he completely obliterated all of Iran's nuclear capabilities, that there was nothing else to do. And now he's saying they're a week away from striking us with nuclear bombs. She goes, he's a liar. Nothing that he says makes any sense at all. Here, play this clip.
B
Millions and millions of Americans are outraged by this. He never came to America and addressed the nation and gave clear reasons why we would go to war with Iran, especially after he told us back in the summer that he had completely obliterated Iran, all of their nuclear capabilities and had even chastised any, any news organization or media that said otherwise. But here we are in a war with Iran and, and it doesn't, it

doesn't make any sen. Hey everybody, Ben Meisellis here from the Midas Touch Network. I wanted to let you know about my podcast partner Michael Popo's new law firm. It's called the Popak Firm. Michael Popo pursuing his dream of starting his own law firm really based on the popular demand Midas mighty and legal a effers who are approaching Michael Popak with their cases and saying, can you help us? And at that time, Popak was not able to. So he went out on his own. He started the Popoc firm where he is now handling catastrophic injury cases like car accident cases, trucking cases, malpractice cases, big negligence cases, wrongful death cases. So if you or someone you know have a case like this, the consultation with Popox firm is free. Give him a call. See if you have a case. It's thepopoc firm.com thepopoc firm.com or you can call 877-popak-af-p o p o k a f so 1-877-p-o p o k a f give Michael Popak a call and I'm really proud of you, Popak. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting in. More on some of these powerful moments. I thought on seeing it, but then she was back on social media and here's what she said. She goes, I've been on the phone with some of the top America first conservative leaders. We are all in agreement. This administration and the Republican Party is going in the wrong directions on key issues like the war, Epstein and especially domestic issues. They've been completely hijacked by Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin and the neocon establishment Republicans. We all voted against. The future of America belongs to us, the younger generation, not the boomers in charge. And they're boomer donors. I and others have been doing our part to call out the wrongs and fight back. A large percentage of Americans agree. More from Marjorie Taylor Greene here on her CNN appearance where she said, look, Trump's never made not just a clear case, he's never made a case at all. Why are we invading Iran? The hell is going on? We're doing it because Netanyahu said that he was going to do it first. That's why We've now lost 13 service members, 200 injured, 10 people very seriously wounded in addition to the dead. But the numbers probably much more than that. We've spent billions of dollars, over $20 billion already in this war. We're sending in this Marine Expeditionary Force. We've destroyed all of our alliances abroad. And now, as a result of this war, gas prices are skyrocketing right now. The price of crude is skyrocketing right now. And so Americans already struggle to afford things, and now no one can afford anything. Donald Trump is literally sending us into this great depression right now. What the hell is he doing? Listen to it, Marjorie Taylor Greene. I never thought I'd ever say, listen to it, Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, hear her words. I'll just put it that way. Here, play this clip.
B
I don't know if they have a plan or not because they've never made a clear case to the American people why they are bombing Iran. They've never made a clear case why they are supporting Israel while Israel is bombing Lebanon and while Israel totally grazed Gaza, killing thousands and thousands of people and children. No, I don't think they've made a clear case for this at all. And the reality is, you know, this is something that Americans are so fed up with, and we voted to end it. That's what we voted for, to end all of this. Here we are over a year into President Trump's administration and we're in a full scale war with Iran that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. So, no, none of it makes sense.
A
And then she goes on to say, you know, no, he doesn't get a Nobel Peace Prize. This guy, this guy's the opposite of the Nobel Peace Prize. She's like, when I thought she goes, I thought he wanted to stop wars, but not anymore. Here, play this clip.
B
You know, at one time when he wanted to be the president of peace and he wanted to end wars and constantly talked about no more foreign wars, no ending wars, of course I thought he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, but do I think he deserves it now? No, absolutely not. And I don't think this is what the American people want.
A
Then she attacks baby boomers in general, and she's like, all these baby boomers that are in power, who are clinging to power. You've ruined our lives is what she says. Here, play this clip.
B
Look, I think there's a big divide, Caitlin, between the baby boomer generation and like, Gen X, my generation and the millennials. You know, our generations have been the ones that have been sent to fight these war wars in the Middle east. And our generations have paid a huge cost, and we want to see it over with. But yet it's the baby boomers that are in power, that are just clinging to power, living out the end of their days. You know, it really angers me, Caitlin, because I feel like they're ruining it for the rest of us. They're leaving us with tens of trillions of national debt. Only seven years from now, Social Security is going to be bankrupt. So me and you, so our Social Security payments are going to be basically a tax, and we may never see a Social Security check. So the direction of America and the divide between the generations, where many baby boomers are supporting this war, because that's what they've been told on television, where many of us, we get our news from alternate sources and international news, and we know what's going on. You know, here's the message for the rest of the world, the younger generations of Americans, we don't want war with the world. We want peace. We desperately want peace between all of our nations. We want good trade. We want to have good business deals, and we want to be able to visit your countries and you come visit ours. This is not what we want. This is not what we voted for. And I'm certainly praying for our military troops, and I'm praying for the administration to stop the insanity.
A
She then goes on to talk about how families getting ready to go on spring break can't afford anything because of Donald Trump. Let's play it.
B
Here we are. Here's Americans at home right now. We've got families getting ready to go on spring break, and gas prices are skyrocketing. You know, inflation has barely stabilized and people voted for lower grocery costs. Well, we're going to see costs at the, at the grocery stores going up because diesel is going up and oil is going up because of this war. We've got 30% of the world's fertilizer goes through the strait. That affects our farmers that are struggling already. We voted to put Americans first. I might look.
A
She talks about the little girls who were massacred by the Trump regime, the innocent little girls in Manob who were killed by the Trump regime who targeted them with a Tomahawk missile. And then Donald Trump continued to cover it up. Here, play this clip.
B
And the reality is there are so many innocent people dying. I mean, the little girls school is such an outrage. It's horrific. And Americans, we don't want to think of our military as being responsible of Killing little children. This is absolutely something that Americans should not tolerate. And we are owed answers. They keep saying that they're investigating, but it is such a serious situation. You know, I drove by an elementary school today and there were children out on the playground swinging on the swings and playing on the playground. And I thought to myself, I'm so thankful that our children are safe, but I can't imagine living somewhere where school children or people's children have been bombed or killed. And this is something that has so many people outraged because I'll go back, Caitlin, we did not vote for this. We voted for an end to foreign wars. And that's exactly what we should be seeing more for.
A
Marjorie Taylor Greene here talking about how, you know, these 13 service members whose lives were lost that should never have happened. That's cost of Donald Trump Play it.
B
There's so much to talk about tonight with all the developments in Iran. I think first, though, you know, on the 13 servicemembers that have now been killed during Operation Epic Fury, I wonder what goes through your mind when you think of those lives that have been lost already. Oh, it's absolutely heartbreaking, Caitlin. I'm a strong supporter of our military and the great men and women who serve. I think they're some of the greatest among us and their families who are, who are so concerned about them right now. These are 13 lives that, that I believe should not have been lost. This wasthis war is not something that Americans voted for in 2024. As a matter of fact, we voted for the opposite. We voted for no more foreign wars, no more regime change. And we were told by many members in the administration throughout the campaign, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and others that they believed that going to war with Iran would be a terrible idea. It was something that Charlie could, Kirk himself had said over and over again. And Donald Trump, President Trump, I voted for him three times, fought for him to become president, and I still want him to be successful. But he told Americans for over 10 years and even longer that he thought foreign wars and regime change was really a bad direction for America to go in. And we trusted and believed him that we wouldn't be doing this. But, but, you know, this was an unprovoked war and Israel pulled us into it, pulled America into it. And so those are 13 lives that should not have been lost.
A
She does not miss Congress at all. Let's play it.
B
Do you miss Congress? Absolutely not. This is an institution with a 13% approval rating because it fails Americans over and over And I'm. I'm a very conservative. I always had a strong conservative voting record. And you know what? Congress. Congress doesn't serve America. It's America last. And I really believed in serving America first. So it was a land of frustration for me. And I like to get things accomplished for the American people. But as everyone knows and your viewers at home are watching, Congress doesn't really get anything done for the American people. People. So, no, I don't miss it at all.
A
And then she basically calls on JD Vance and Tulsi Gabbard. Like, do something about this guy. Like, I mean, she's saying, like, remove Trump. Like, do something with this guy at this point. Here, play this clip.
B
They're in a difficult position. They serve at the pleasure of President Trump. And so what I would imagine that's a difficult spot to speak out, but they need to speak out. This is getting. It's getting going in a direction where we're looking at possible boots on the ground. Many, many parents are fearful there may be a draft. We are not told, like, any end goal or how long this may last, how many more American military troops will be killed, how much is it going to cost America, how many refugees are going to be brought into our country. Once again, we aren't told any of this information. I very much like J.D. vance. I very much like Tulsi Gabbard and share many of the political views that they have. I want them to speak out. We need them to speak out. We need people in the administration that we know disagree with it because of their voices and the words they spoke previously. But we do. We need to hear from them, and I hope we will soon.
A
And finally, Marjorie Taylor Greene is like, you know, Republicans can't even fund the Department of Homeland Security at this point. Point. So we don't even. They're not even able to do that. And so now they want another defense supplemental to send, what, 50 billion or $100 billion more in Iran? Like, what are you doing? Mike Johnson, where's your health? Where's your health care plan, by the way, didn't you promise there would be a health care plan here?
B
Play Congress right now. They can't even fund Homeland Security. Our own border Patrol, ice, TSA agents and others are not even getting paid. But yet here they are told that they're going to be voting and they'll vote for it. Believe me. They love the war. The neocons love the war. They're going to pass another. A supplemental to fund the war in Iran. What is that? Going to be $50 billion or more while the war is costing us approximately one to two billion dollars a day. But yet we're not even funding homeland Security and Americans are still struggling. And Caitlin, I got to tell you, I'm still waiting on Mike Johnson to roll out that Republican health care plan that he boasted and bragged that he was going to have because Americans can't even afford health insurance right now.

This episode centers on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (MTG) vigorous, public break with Donald Trump in response to his military actions in Iran, marking her sharpest criticism yet of the former president. The MeidasTouch brothers dissect MTG’s accusations that Trump betrayed his “America First” rhetoric, has led the country into a devastating and unpopular foreign war, and failed his supporters, ultimately causing chaos at home and abroad. The episode features extensive audio from MTG’s recent CNN interview, her fiery social media posts, and heated discussions about intergenerational divides, economic fallout, and the unraveling MAGA coalition.
“I have no idea what [Trump] means when he says the war will end when I feel it in my bones...I find those statements concerning.”
Escalation Concerns: MTG blasts Trump’s decision to send 5,000 Marines to Iran and compares the move to Vietnam-era interventions, questioning the lack of governmental transparency (04:02–05:01).
“Why are we sending thousands of more U.S. military troops… why are we pulling military resources away from other sectors… and putting it all there to fight Iran?”
Accusations of Lying: MTG reminds the public Trump previously claimed Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “obliterated,” yet now claims they’re a threat again (05:01–05:55):
“He never came to America and addressed the nation… Here we are in a war with Iran and it doesn’t make any sense.”
“It’s the baby boomers… clinging to power, living out the end of their days. They’re ruining it for the rest of us... We want peace.”
“Families getting ready to go on spring break, and gas prices are skyrocketing… We’re going to see costs at grocery stores going up because diesel is going up and oil’s going up because of this war.”
“So many innocent people dying... Americans, we don’t want to think of our military as being responsible for killing little children.”
“[Trump] wanted to be the president of peace…thought he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, but… Absolutely not now.”
“JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard… they need to speak out. This is getting… to boots on the ground. Many parents are fearful there may be a draft…”
“Absolutely not. This is an institution with a 13% approval rating because it fails Americans over and over… Congress doesn’t serve America.”
“Congress right now… can’t even fund Homeland Security… But yet, here they are told… to fund the war in Iran… while Americans are still struggling.”
Brash, unfiltered, and highly critical of Trump and the GOP establishment. MTG’s language is emotionally charged, laced with generational resentment and a betrayed “America First” ethos. The hosts, while traditionally left-leaning, find themselves surprised at agreeing with her on many points—though often with a sense of irony and disbelief.
This episode spotlights the dramatic unraveling within the MAGA movement as Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a quintessential Trump loyalist, launches a searing attack on the former president for betraying anti-war promises and dragging the US into an unwinnable and unpopular conflict in Iran. She calls for accountability, decries the economic and moral toll, and offers a generational critique of GOP leadership. The MeidasTouch hosts amplify her words—not as an endorsement of her overall politics, but as an historic moment of realignment and infighting on the American right.
