The Tim Dillon Show
Episode 465: Marjorie Taylor Greene Emergency Podcast
Date: October 11, 2025
Overview
In this wide-ranging and often provocative “emergency” episode, Tim Dillon sits down with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene to discuss political disillusionment, the failures of the two-party system, transparency on government scandals, foreign aid, the influence of lobbying groups like AIPAC, media consolidation, and America’s socio-economic woes. The conversation is candid, contentious, and at times surprisingly introspective, as Greene explains why she feels her message is resonating across ideological lines and lays out her vision for a pragmatic, populist but still distinctly conservative future.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Widening Appeal and Political Disgust
[00:21–04:42]
- Tim Dillon opens by highlighting Greene’s unusually wide resonance across the political spectrum, with people from all backgrounds reaching out about her views.
- Greene attributes this to her raw honesty and outsider status:
“I've been just completely honest in my statements... I'm taking a stance that is truly from a mother's heart and how broken I see our country.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 01:36)
- She criticizes both major parties: Republicans for not governing as they campaign and Democrats for implementing what she sees as destructive policies.
- Greene reveals her path into politics was adversarial to established GOP politics—she never attended a Republican meeting before deciding to run for Congress.
- She frames the U.S. as more divided than ever, voicing both an occasional desire for “national divorce” and a horror at the thought of civil war:
“I do not want an America where we have a civil war...” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 03:40)
Transparency, the Epstein Files, and Congressional Failures
[04:42–17:33]
- Dillon repeatedly presses Greene about transparency, especially on unreleased Epstein files and endless foreign entanglements:
“Why are the Epstein files not coming out and why are we unable to pull the plug on some of these foreign entanglements?” (Tim Dillon, 05:01)
- Greene details her efforts (with Rep. Thomas Massie) demanding release of Epstein materials, noting institutional roadblocks and possible destruction of evidence:
“We were told by the women's attorney... You need the CIA files, which are probably destroyed.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 14:03)
- She reads from a House Floor statement listing types of powerful figures implicated: Hollywood producer, royal prince, billionaires, government officials, etc.
- Calls out Congressional failures on cost of living, affordable housing, and especially health insurance:
“I couldn't find anywhere the Epstein files. And also couldn't find the Republican plan to fix the absolutely destroyed health insurance industry...” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 09:07)
Foreign Aid, AIPAC, and Lobbying Influence
[20:55–28:28]
- Dillon and Greene examine the unorthodox influence of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee):
“The more and more you learn about AIPAC, the more and more you question why it's not registered... as a foreign government lobbying.” (Tim Dillon, 21:19)
- Greene outlines the routine AIPAC-sponsored trips for Congress members, details donor influence, and questions why only AIPAC is exempt from foreign agent registration.
- She critiques Congress for disproportionately denouncing antisemitism, noting:
“Since I've been in Congress, we've had 22 resolutions denouncing anti-semitism... Yet we never denounce other things that are significant to what's happening in America.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 23:35)
- Discusses how U.S. aid to Israel may indirectly subsidize its state-funded healthcare and education, contrasting with American struggles for basics.
- Greene notes growing skepticism among younger Americans over U.S. involvement in Israel, reflecting changing generational views on foreign aid.
Media Consolidation, Censorship, and Information Control
[28:53–34:35]
- A segment on Larry Ellison—a major IDF donor—buying TikTok, Paramount/CBS, and possibly Warner Bros/CNN, triggers a discussion on media influence and censorship.
- Greene says, as a sitting Congress member, she was permanently banned from Twitter for her COVID/vaccine stance:
“My reaction to that was fuck you... by permanently banning my free speech, no one changed my mind. As a matter of fact, I got deeper ingrained in it.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 32:51)
- She predicts censorship won't reverse youth skepticism, stating that the “toothpaste is out of the tube.”
Socio-Economic Challenges: Health Care, Housing, and the Economy
[37:29–47:00]
- Greene and Dillon lament persistent affordability crises, stagnant wages, and a worsening situation for young and old regarding homeownership and insurance.
- Greene’s approach is pragmatic—not socialist, she insists, but realistic:
“I'm not willing to allow millions of Americans, people I personally know... to have their premiums double and triple overnight... we’re going to have to fund it, but we’re going to have to build an off-ramp and a new system.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 42:55)
- Critiques both parties for satisfying donor interests (crypto, AI) over regular Americans.
- Emphasizes the need for government spending “on Americans’ lives” rather than foreign wars and corporate subsidies.
Military-Industrial Complex and the Ukraine War
[47:00–51:22]
- Dillon questions U.S. engagement in Ukraine and expanding the conflict rather than seeking peace.
- Greene argues the U.S. is not obliged to defend Ukraine:
“Ukraine’s not a NATO member nation... We don’t have to defend Ukraine... why does it make me a bad representative if I really don’t care what happens to their territory?” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 49:47 & 50:00)
- She critiques the flow of American tax dollars to Ukraine, subsidizing pensions and businesses there while U.S. businesses falter.
Institutional Distrust: DOJ, FBI, and Recent Events
[56:53–62:36]
- Dialogue turns to the massive loss of trust in government institutions, especially regarding the Epstein investigation and the murder of Charlie Kirk (which they note has provoked conspiracy theories and skepticism).
- Greene explains the difficulty even for “flamethrowers” like Cash Patel or Dan Bongino to root out corruption once in high office due to entrenched staff and destroyed files.
- Both decry the vilification of Candace Owens for asking questions about Kirk’s assassination.
- Greene uses the O.J. Simpson case as a metaphor for diminished media attention and accountability:
“By today's standard, we would have all said the glove didn't fit... Back then we were all like, bullshit, we know the glove fit. But why today can’t we call it out?” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 61:37)
Immigration, Labor, and Pragmatism
[67:17–70:37]
- Final substantive discussion is on border security and ICE raids. Dillon asks about a more humane approach.
- Greene, herself a construction company owner, says bluntly:
“We have a labor force in America across many industries that has been built on illegal labor. That’s a fact that also cannot be ignored... We need to build an off-ramp... a smarter plan than just rounding up every person and deporting them.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 69:07)
- She insists on secure borders and deporting dangerous criminals, but calls for realism and a gradual, pragmatic approach.
Closing Thoughts: MAGA, Outsiders, and Potential 2028 Presidential Run
[63:05–67:08]
- Dillon floats speculation that Greene is seen as embodying “real MAGA outsider” energy more than figures like J.D. Vance.
- Greene demurs on running for president in 2028, affirming her deep frustration and that “real people” need to keep fighting for practical fixes.
“I’m mad about a lot of things, and I’m not going to stop talking about it and I’m not going to stop finding solutions for [them]... I never wanted to run for Congress, but I ran because regular people have to get in there and try to fix it.” (Marjorie Taylor Greene, 65:10 & 65:53)
