Overview

In this episode, the Meiselas brothers dive into a new, explosive chapter in right-wing politics: Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) turning against Donald Trump. The episode explores MTG's public denunciations of Trump on several fronts: her accusations of misogyny, his alleged efforts to cover up the Epstein files, his pandering to big donors and lobbyists, and his flagging support among key demographics. Through their signature mix of sharp political insight and brotherly banter, the hosts break down what this very public GOP feud means for Trump, the Republican Party, and American democracy.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. MTG’s Public Betrayal and Criticisms of Trump

• MTG’s Accusations:

  • MTG claims Trump is misogynistic and attacks women who don’t “worship him.”

  • She points out a series of professional women Trump has sidelined or fired (Christine Noem, Pam Bondi, Laurie Chavez-DeRemer, and Elise Stefanik).

  • MTG responds to a racist and misogynistic image Trump posted about Candace Owens, accusing him of divisiveness and erosion of Republican support among women.

    • Quote:

      “President Trump hates women he can control who don’t worship him… women who actually worship God and are much more intelligent than he is.”
      — MTG, paraphrased by host ([02:30])

  • Connects Trump’s behavior to declining Republican support among women nationwide, citing polls showing majorities already opposed.

    • Quote:

      “Posts like this one are going to turn the majority of women in America against him.”
      — MTG paraphrased ([02:30])

2. Trump’s Connections to Epstein and the Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon

• Allegations of Cover-Up:

  • MTG accuses Trump of actively blocking the release of the Epstein files.

    • She alleges Trump told key figures not to release documents: Pam Bondi (DOJ), Speaker Mike Johnson, others.
    • MTG asserts Trump justified this by saying, “people are going to get hurt” — referring to his wealthy friends.

      • Quote — Direct Interview:

        “He flat out told her, do not release the Epstein files. He was blocking everybody.”
        — MTG on Shannon Joy ([11:11])

        “He told me, he said, my friends will get hurt. So he’s talking about his friends. He told me, people, you know, Marjorie, people at Mar A Lago, they’re going to get hurt.”
        — MTG, recounting Trump’s words ([12:40])

  • MTG says attempts to tie these actions to Pam Bondi are mere scapegoating — the directive was Trump’s alone.

• Greene’s Position:

  • Greene opposes any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell and echoes Epstein survivors’ criticisms of such efforts.
    • “If Trump gives her a pardon, it’s a setup for a quid pro quo. She will owe Trump, and she will lie to protect the people he asks her to.”

3. Policy Critiques and GOP Dysfunction

• Trump’s Flip-Flops on FISA:

  • MTG criticizes Trump for demanding a “clean” extension of FISA 702, contrary to his prior demands that warrant requirements be added (due to FISA being used to surveil his campaign).
  • She accuses House Speaker Johnson of planning to follow Trump’s orders to pass the extension.

• On Failed Campaign Promises:

  • She highlights the lack of progress on “repeal and replace” for healthcare and other long-promised Republican policy moves.
  • MTG calls out the party as “feckless, weak, neocon” and confesses she is now a “former Trumper… because I have too much dignity and self-respect to serve…”

• Declining Support among Key Voter Groups:

  • MTG points to poll numbers:
    • Among Gen Z, Trump’s approval is just 24%.
    • Recent Fox News polls: Americans now prefer Democrats over Republicans on the economy (+4 for Democrats).
      • Quote:

        “Any Republican that wants a future with Gen Z support better distance themselves from Donald Trump. He has failed them.”
        — MTG paraphrased ([08:30])

4. Trump’s Ties to Big Donors and Lobbyists

• MTG and interview segments expound on how Trump is now beholden to the “donor class, Big Pharma, the Israel lobby, and the military industrial complex.”
• Memorable Exchange:

  • MTG says Trump “sold out” in return for another presidential shot, citing $1.5 trillion in military funding and favorable policies for big business donors as examples.

    • Quote (Interviewed by Shannon Joy):

      “…All of the criminals who have always controlled presidents throughout history, all coalescing around Donald Trump. And he just sold out. Just sold out.” — Interviewer ([13:40])

      “He made the deal. Art of the deal. That was his art of the deal. So for, what did Trump do? He said, what did he want? What was the exchange? He wanted to be president again… what he had to give away was I’ll give you what you want. And he’s done it. And… he’s literally delivering for all the people that funded him the most. He’s not delivering for you.” — MTG ([14:02])

5. Megyn Kelly on Trump’s Fading Popularity

• Megyn Kelly weighs in on public frustrations with Trump’s inaction and the general disillusionment with the GOP, especially regarding tariffs, the economy, and foreign wars.
  • She reads Cook Political Report analysis warning of electoral peril for Republicans in battleground districts.
    • Quote:

      “The Cook Political Reports Battleground District Project… is a flashing red warning light for the fall. Flashing red warning light.”
      — Megyn Kelly ([16:40])

  “He flat out told her, do not release the Epstein files. He was blocking everybody.”
  — MTG ([11:11])

  “He made the deal. Art of the deal. That was his art of the deal…He wanted to be president again. That’s what his, his pride is enormous. He wants the golden statues, he wants his name everywhere.”
  — MTG ([14:02])

• Megyn Kelly on the political climate:

Recap

This episode captures a rare moment of high-profile right-wing infighting, as Marjorie Taylor Greene’s scorched-earth campaign against Trump creates shockwaves.

[Podcast Host / Narrator]

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not holding back. She continues to tear into Donald Trump. She's been posting recently that Donald Trump hates women. Donald Trump hates his supporters. She also was saying that the 25th Amendment should be invoked against Donald Trump. As I noted, Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to unleash on Donald Trump. Now after Donald Trump posted this misogynistic and racist image of Candace Owens, who By the way, I'm no fan of Candace Owens, but let's just call out what this is. This is a horrific racist image posted by the President of the United States that says uses rich white men. That's what Donald Trump posted about someone, by the way, who was one of his biggest supporters before. And here's what Marjorie Taylor Greene posted in response. President Trump hates women he can control who don't worship him. Women who actually worship God and are much more intelligent than he is. Women like Candace Owens. This cruel post about Candace Owens looks like something Laura Loomer would conjure up as she gives Trump his talking points, policy decisions and political advice which is literally destroying him and the Republican Party. Trump refused to support the women who were victims of Epstein. He called me a traitor for supporting them and not bowing to him. He is attacking Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens also. The only people in his cabinet that he's either fired or privately told to leave are women. Cristine Ohm, Pam Bondi and Laurie Chavez Darimer. He appointed Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to the United nations, then took it away without a care even after all she did to support him just because Johnson told him to. No matter what you think about any of us women as we are all different from each other, whether you like us or not, we One thing is incredibly clear. Trump hates women and posts like this one is going to turn the majority of women in America against him. I will only add by far the majority of women in America are already against him. Marjorie. She then goes on to post the following after the news broke that Republicans are working with Donald Trump to get Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon, she writes. I'm shocked that some of my former Republican colleagues on the Oversight Committee are supporting pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. The Epstein survivors are adamantly against her receiving a pardon as she was one of their main abusers next to Jeffrey Epstein and they say she is a serial liar. If Trump gives her a pardon, it's a setup for a quid pro quo. She will owe Trump and she will lie to protect the people he asks her to. Instead, the DOJ and local prosecutors with jurisdiction should be prosecuting the rich, powerful elites who raped and trafficked these brave survivors when they were just teenagers and young vulnerable women. Why is this so complicated? Go back to your last point. Trump hates women and Trump was close to Epstein. It's so complicated as you said Marjorie Taylor Greene. Cuz it isn't complicated at all. Donald Trump told you we can't release the files. It'll hurt my friends. They will get hurt by this. And as you know Donald Trump and Bondi were working and Trump still is covering up this child sex trafficking ring. Next, Marjorie Taylor Greene posts the following poll of Gen Z voters approval of Donald Trump Amongst Gen Z 24% Marjorie Taylor Greene writes any Republican that wants a future with Gen Z support better distance themselves from Donald Trump. He has failed them. She then talks about Donald Trump now supporting an extension of fisa. She goes House Republicans led by Speaker Johnson should not pass a clean FISA 702 extension like the one Trump is demanding warrantless wiretaps connected to foreign interests. However, there are people who say it could be abused because it brings in conduct here in the United States without warrants if they are suspected of having contacts with people outside of the country. She says this is another betrayal as Trump himself demanded warrant requirements for Pfizer because it was used to spy on his campaign. Oh and hundreds of thousands of Americans. FISA 702 must have a warrant requirement and proactive measures to stop our government from spying on Americans. Johnson is going to try every trick in the book to deliver for the deep state with a clean FISA extension. Because Trump now demands that Johnson's usual lies and excuses should be in peak performance next week as he tries to pass a clean FISA 702 reauthorization. Also, where is his healthcare plan that he claimed he had ready back in the fall? Crickets, crickets, crickets. Nowhere. You get nothing. The government you fund gets whatever it wants. Then she was responding to Chris La Civita, one of Donald Trump, Trump's top strategist and she goes yes, I am proudly a former Trumper because I have too much dignity and self respect to serve in a feckless, weak neo con Congress that refuses to deliver our campaign promises. And under the President I helped more than anyone. Remember when you hated him Chris, because he called women getting raped at 14 and 16 years old a hoax and protected the Epstein Class his friends and then called me a traitor because I stood with women who were raped and not him. Oh, not to mention he was mad at me for voting no on his crypto bill and not praising him for bombing Iran because Bibi told him to. You know what a traitor is, big boy? An American who serves foreign countries. She then posts this poll right here. It's a Fox News poll showing Americans prefer Democrats to Republicans on the economy by a plus 4 margin for the first time since 2010. Marjorie Taylor Greene writes, take into consideration that under Biden, Kamala and full Democrat control, we hit 9% inflation. But under Trump, JD and Republicans, they are failing so badly on cost of living and domestic issues that on a Fox News poll, Americans prefer Democrats on the economy. She then gave a interview with Shannon Joy with where she was not holding back. She said that Donald Trump sold out to big tech pharma, the Israel lobby and the military industrial complex to get his second term. Miriam Adelson is the perfect example. She gave Donald Trump hundreds of millions of dollars in 2021. He went into four years of basically exile where the entire system had kicked him out. What he had to do along the way is he made deals with powerful people, rich people. The donor class tech got behind him and gave them their resources and use their platforms any way they could to help him get elected. The military industrial complex loves Donald Trump. Why? Because he talks Congress into funding the biggest military budgets you've ever seen. He wants 1.5 trillion for the next one. What was the exchange? He wanted to be president again. His pride is enormous. He wants to be in the limelight. He wants gold statute. He wants his name everywhere. That's what he received. He's literally delivering for all the people that funded him the most. He's not delivering for you. The big donors, they get to go to Mar a Lago parties and they get to go to the White House. Look at the people that came in and had dinner with the president. They are all people that censored you and kicked you off of social media. What he gave away the most was for the secular government of Israel and their military who they want to bomb. Trump made that deal and said, I will do it for you. Here she is on Shannon Joy. Just so you can hear it for yourself, play this clip.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

We started moving into the Epstein files and everyone remembers that battle. That was the biggest battle on the planet, like the hardest thing to accomplish.

[Interviewer / Shannon Joy]

Yeah.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

And he had the, he had his administration, the White House telling the speaker and leader Thin. So Speaker Johnson and leader thinner. Stop this. Do not, do not pass any resolution to release the Epstein files. He told Pam Bondi at the doj, no matter what you think of Pam Bondi, he flat out told her, do not release the Epstein files. He was blocking everybody.

[Interviewer / Shannon Joy]

It was all him. Because there's a huge narrative out there that it's all Pam Bondi's fault.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

That, yeah, they want to make it

[Interviewer / Shannon Joy]

Pam body undermining him. You're, you're saying that to your knowledge, he was driving this bus, Trump drove the bus to suppress the Epstein files according to what you witnessed.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

I know he did. And I don't have any knowledge of him and Pam Bondi's personal conversations, but I know he was telling everyone not to release the files. And his, his reasoning was, is people are going to get hurt is what he said. He kept saying that people are going. He was publicly saying, it's a Democrat hoax, it's a Democrat hoax. You know, blah, blah. He's saying all this stuff and shaming people. But behind the scenes, he was telling all of us, he was telling Mike Johnson, he's telling everybody, telling PM Bondi, people are going to get hurt. And who, who. He was talking about what he told me on the phone, our final conversation when he had really had it with me because I wouldn't take my name off the discharge petition. Good for you. And I was publicly saying over and over again, released Epstein files. He told me, he said, my friends will get hurt. So he's talking about his friends. He told me, people, you know, Marjorie, people at Mar A Lago, they're going to get hurt. And I said, people have already gotten hurt. There's over a thousand women that have been raped by Jeffrey Epstein and are accusing others. And they've told the, they've told the FBI, they've told the police. They have, they've been, they have been trying for years to get justice for this. Like, people already have been hurt more.

[Podcast Host / Narrator]

From Marjorie Taylor Greene on Shannon Joy, let's play this clip.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

So, so Big Pharma was easy for him. The military industrial complex loves Donald Trump. Why? Because he talks Congress into funding the biggest military budgets you've ever seen. And he wants $1.5 trillion on the next one. So, of course. So he had all these groups. So I'm describing, Sorry, I'm being long winded, but.

[Interviewer / Shannon Joy]

No, no, no, keep going, because you're naming all of the money pots. Apex Tech Bros. Big Pharma, the military industrial complex. Big bastards, right? Like all of the criminals who have Always controlled presidents throughout history, all coalescing around Donald Trump. And he just sold out. Just sold out.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

He made the deal. Art of the deal. That was his art of the deal. So for, what did Trump do? He said, what did he want? What was the exchange? He wanted to be president again. That's what his, his pride is enormous.

[Interviewer / Shannon Joy]

Naming rights, naming rights, naming rights.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene]

Yeah, he wanted it all to be in the limelight. He wants to stand in the center arena. He wants it. He wants the golden statues, he wants his name everywhere. That's what he received. But what he had to give away was I'll give you what you want. And he's done it. And you can you literally, if you open your eyes and look at his actions, he's literally delivering for all the people that funded him the most. He's not delivering for you. You guys received an annoying amount of text messages that said, my father is disappointed in you. Why haven't, why haven't we heard from you? Demanding your money, emails, 20 a day is crap in the mail. You got berated constantly to donate your ten dollars, your dollar fifty, your hundred dollars. You might have even wrote a thousand dollar check. You guys got. But the big, big donors, they got to go to the Mar Lago parties and they still get to go. They get to go to the White House. They have lunches and dinners. For the love of God, look at the people that came in and had dinner with the president. They're the people that censored you.

[Podcast Host / Narrator]

And then as Donald Trump continues to attack Megyn Kelly, here's what she had to say. Let's play it.

[Megyn Kelly]

The American public is so short sighted, but it's just their frustration. They feel like they gave Trump a year and a half. He's done nothing other than make things worse. This is how they feel if you read the polls and so. And they're pissed. They're not feeling pro GOP right now for a variety of reasons. They don't tend to like the tariffs. I still am open minded to them, but I don't speak for the independents, even though I am one. They don't like the war. They don't like what's happening in their bank accounts. And they're starting to think the Democrats might be the better option on the economy. 52% say they prefer Democrats compared to 48% who say they like the Republicans when it comes to who should manage the economy. And the highly respected Cook Political Report is out today with new analysis ahead of the midterms. I'm just going to read you their opening sentence. It reads, quote for Republican candidates running in competitive House districts. Okay, Republican candidates running in competitive House districts. The Cook Political Reports Battleground District Project. Project, I should say, is a flashing red warning light for the fall. Flashing red warning light.
