[ CHEERING ]
>> I WANT TO TELL YOU GUYS, THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA, THE D.C. SWAMP,
THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT TRIED TO TAKE ME OUT.
BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY MORE OF US THAN THERE IS OF THEM.
>> QANON CONSPIRACY THEORIST MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.
>> WHAT A PRIMARY RUNOFF AND A GENERAL ELECTION.
>> STILL PUSHING THE BIG LIE.
>> NAME A DERANGED CONSPIRACY AND GREENE BELIEVES IT.
HER BEHAVIOR BEFORE AND AFTER GETTING ELECTED IS A GREATEST
HITS REEL OF DEPLORABLE CONDUCT.
>> MANY IN OUR GOVERNMENT ARE ACTIVELY WORSHIPPING SAYING WE
HAVE AN ISLAMIC INVASION.
>> HE IS AN AN NONMIST.
>> THERE IS NEVER ANY EVIDENCE.
>> SCHOOL SHOOTINGS WERE STAGE.
>> HARASSING PARKLAND SURVIVOR DAVID HOGG.
>> GUILTY OF TREASON.
>> CRIME PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.
>> HER COMMENTS PUT HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN AN AWKWARD
SPOT.
>> REPRESENTATIVE GREENE'S COMMENTS DO NOT REPRESENT THE
VALUES OF MY PARTY.
>> REPRESENTATIVE VOTED TO STRIP NATIONAL MARGE OF HER COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENT. 11 MEMBERS OF HER PARTY BACKED
THE MOVE.
>> I HOPE MY REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES THINK ABOUT WHAT
THEY'VE DONE. I'M SURE THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR
FROM THEIR VOTERS, BECAUSE THE BASE IS LOYAL TO PRESIDENT
TRUMP, AND THE BASE HAS BEEN VERY LOYAL TO ME.
AND THEY'VE SHOWN ME THAT.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> IN 2022, I'M GOING TO BLOW AWAY THE DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST
AGENDA.
>> DONALD TRUMP, HE IS STILL VERY MUCH SUPPORTIVE OF GREENE.
>> SOMEBODY THAT GETS A LITTLE MORE PUBLICITY THAN I DO.
>> MARJORIE --
>> MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.
>> WE ARE NOT THE FRINGE. WE ARE THE BASE OF THE PARTY.
>> CLEARLY, SHE IS APPEALING TO A WIDE SWATH OF GOP VOTERS.
>> HIGHER APPROVAL THAN MITCH McCONNELL.
>> SHE IS MORE POPULAR THAN KEVIN McCARTHY.
>> REPUBLICANS TAKE THE MAJORITY, THIS IS GOING TO BE
SOMEBODY THAT HAS AN INFLUENTIAL VOICE.
>> MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE COULD WELL BE THE FACE OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW, I'VE TAKEN MORE ATTACKS AND MORE
HEAT THAN ANYBODY IN HISTORY IN CONGRESS.
AND SO I HAVE NOTHING, NOTHING WILL HOLD ME BACK.
>> OH, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
LET'S BRING THIS RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABLE.
THERE ARE LIKE A HANDFUL OF INCREDIBLY GOOD BARBECUE PLACES
IN NEW YORK. THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
>> ANYBODY THAT DOES A REAL FRITO PIE IS THE REAL DEAL.
>> THERE IS FRITOS, CHILI, NACHO CHEESE ON TOP.
>> OH MY GOD.
>> WE WERE IN GEORGIA LAST WEEK.
>> GEORGIA IS ON OUR MIND AGAIN. WE'RE GOING BACK.
>> BUT TO A DIFFERENT PART OF GEORGIA.
>> THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT KNOWN AS GEORGIA 14.
>> MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE'S DISTRICT.
>> THAT NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE.
>> BASICALLY, TENNESSEE.
>> IT RUNS PRETTY FAR DOWN THERE.
THERE ARE PARTS THAT AREN'T THAT FAR FROM ATLANTA.
BUT IT'S BASICALLY IN THIS RURAL DISTRICT.
THEY LOVE HER THERE. RIGHT NOW SHE IS HAVING A
MOMENT. SHE'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT IF
REPUBLICANS TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOUSE, WHICH PEOPLE THINK IS
EXTREMELY LIKELY. YOU'VE GOT THIS KIND OF LIKE
MOMENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE RECKONING WITH THE NOTION THAT
THIS WOMAN IS NOW LIKE GOING TO BE A POWER PLAYER IN WASHINGTON,
D.C.
>> LAST MONTH WHEN KEVIN McCARTHY PUT HER LIKE BEHIND HIM
WHEN REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCED THEIR AGENDA.
SHE WAS RIGHT THERE. THEY WERE CLEARLY FEATURING HER.
>> WHAT'S FASCINATING AND TERRIFYING HERE IS THAT SHE'S
GOING TO BE IN CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE LEADERSHIP, WHETHER IT'S
FORMAL OR INFORMAL. AND SHE IS DOING IT NOT BY
TRIMMING HER SAILS, BUT BY DOING JUST THE OPPOSITE.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS MOVING TO HER.
>> THE LIKELY CHAIR OVER THE OVERSIGHT PARTY SAID HE WOULD
WELCOME SOMEONE WITH HER ENERGY. THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
WE'RE GOING AFTER HUNTER BIDEN. WE'RE GOING AFTER PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
>> SHE IS THE TIP OF THE IMPEACHMENT SPEAR.
>> SHE CALLED FOR BIDEN'S IMPEACHMENT ON THE SECOND DAY OF
THE PRESIDENCY, SHE DID. SHE FILED IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES.
>> SHE IS IN TOUCH WITH THE MAGA BASE MORE THAN ANYBODY.
SHE IS OUT ON THE ROAD WITH TRUMP EVERYWHERE.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S INCREDIBLE ABOUT IT I WOULD SAY
IS THE SPEED THAT IT'S HAPPENING.
>> NOT EVEN TWO YEARS.
>> SHE'S NOT BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR TWO YEARS THINKING IS A
ONE-TERM CONGRESSWOMAN WHO GOT STRIPPED OF ALL HER COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS, WAS SHOWN BY BOTH PARTIES.
>> INSTEAD OF MARGINALIZING HER, IT GAVE HER MORE POWER.
>> SHE DOES HAVE AN OPPONENT, MARCUS FLOWERS.
>> MARCUS FLOWERS. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIM?
>> BLACK U.S. ARMY VET.
>> AND?
>> AND --
>> WHERE'S THE COWBOY HAT?
>> ALL THE TIME.
>> MY KIND OF GUY.
>> THEY DEBATED LAST NIGHT?
>> IT WAS 25 MINUTES, AND IT WAS SHOCKING, RIGHT FROM THE VERY
START.
>> THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY OF CHILD ABUSE.
IT REPRESENTS GROOMING CHILDREN AND SEXUALIZING THEM IN SCHOOL.
TEACHING ANTI-WHITE RACISM IN THE TERMS OF CRT AND GENITAL
MUTILATION OF KIDS.
>> THAT WAS A LOT, AND GOD BLESS YOU, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, IF
YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT, THEN I'M PRAYING FOR YOU.
>> HOW MUCH MONEY HAS HE RAISED?
>> OVER 10 MILLION.
>> THAT'S NUTS.
>> SO LIBERALS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE SENDING MONEY.
BUT IS IT GOING TO HELP?
>> NO.
>> NO, IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP. SHE IS GOING TO WIN THAT RACE BY
A LOT.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE DEBATE MODERATORS POINTED OUT IS
THAT SHE GOT 30,000 MORE VOTES THIS PRIMARY THAN LAST TIME.
>> WHAT ARE THEY PUTTING IN THE WATER DOWN THERE?
>> WHAT DO ANGRY VOTERS LIKE IN DONALD TRUMP?
WHAT DO THEY LIKE IN RON DeSANTIS?
WHO WHAT DO THEY LIKE IN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE?
THEY ARE THE ULTIMATE FUCK YOU TO THE ESTABLISHMENT.
THE MORE THEY SAY FUCK YOU, THE MORE THEY LIKE THEM.
>> IT REMINDS ME WHEN NEWT GINGRICH WAS PARIAH EARLY ON.
>> A LOT OF PARALLELS.
>> TOO RADICAL FOR REPUBLICANS.
>> HE WAS A BOMB-THROWING WARRIOR WHO WENT FROM BEING SEEN
AS KIND OF A CRAZY PERSON, A NUT, ECCENTRIC, WEIRD, WAY
OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM, SO FREAK FROM A LITTLE NORTH OF ATLANTA.
>> HUMAN BEINGS DIE. HUMAN BEINGS ARE TORTURED.
HUMAN BEINGS ARE IMPRISONED BECAUSE WELL-MEANING PEOPLE ON
THE LEFT BREAK THE LAW.
>> SOUND FAMILIAR?
>> HE WENT FROM THAT TO BEING SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
LIKE ALMOST OVERNIGHT. EVEN OUR RECENT HISTORY, THIS IS
HOW IT HAPPENS.
>> ABSOLUTELY HOW IT HAPPENS.
>> THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE BEYOND THE PALE, WE DON'T TAKE
THEM SERIOUSLY.
>> TRUMP.
>> ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT'S LIKE OH, HEY, THAT PERSON'S IN
CHARGE. SHE'S GOT THE JUICE, MAN.
AND SO DOWN TO GEORGIA WE GO. IF IT'S TRUE, THEN MARJORIE
TAYLOR GREENE IS THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THEN UNDERSTANDING WHERE THE POWER IS DERIVED FROM IS KIND OF
ONE OF THE KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.
>> UNDERSTAND AMERICA, YOU GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> ALMIGHTY GOD, FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, WE PRAY YOUR
BLESSINGS UPON THE LEADERS OF OUR PARTY HERE IN WALKER COUNTY
AND LORD, GRANT US STRENGTH AND COURAGE AS WE GO FORWARD, AND WE
CAN HAVE VICTORY IN NOVEMBER AND TURN OUR NATION BACK TO THE WAY
IT SHOULD BE. IN JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN.
>> AMEN.
>> WE ARE IN CHICKAMAUGA, GEORGIA.
COVERAGE WHEN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS GIVING A SPEECH TO THE
LOCAL REPUBLICAN PARTY HERE. SHE IS A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE IN
MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, BUT SHE IS BELOVED HERE IN WALKER
COUNTY.
>> OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM, WHAT CHILDREN ARE BEING TAUGHT OR,
YOU KNOW, BRAINWASHED WITH ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> IT'S TIKTOK.
>> TIKTOK. ON TIKTOK A LOT.
>> IT NEEDS TO BE GONE!
>> THEY'RE TRYING TO TELL CHILDREN THAT YOU CAN CHANGE
YOUR GENDER, THAT THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN ACTUALLY
CHOOSE TO DO. IT'S COMPLETELY EVIL.
SO I DID INTRODUCE A BILL, THE PROTECT CHILDREN'S INNOCENCE ACT
THAT WOULD MAKE IT A FELONY TO PERFORM THESE SURGERIES ON
ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18. [ APPLAUSE ]
THE REPUBLICANS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE, WE'LL BE CONTROLLING THE
BUDGET. AND WE WILL STOP THAT SPENDING
GOING TO UKRAINE, WHICH IS BASICALLY PICKING A FIGHT IN A
WAR WITH NUCLEAR RUSSIA. AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE
ME OFF COMMITTEES. I'LL BE BACK ON COMMITTEES IN
JANUARY. OVERSIGHT IS A COMMITTEE THAT
I'VE GOT MY EYES FOCUSED ON. BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO
INVESTIGATE SOME PEOPLE. THEY SENT THE FBI DOWN THERE TO
RAID MAR-A-LAGO. THEY ARE COMPLETELY MISLEADING
EVERYONE ABOUT THAT RAID. SO WE HAVE TO HOLD THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ACCOUNTABLE, AND WE HAVE TO
BREAK UP THE FBI. I HAVE SAID DEFUND IT.
BUT I'M VERY ENCOURAGED BECAUSE MANY OF MY REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES
ARE VERY INTERESTED IN DOING THE SAME THING.
[ APPLAUSE ] .
>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
NORTHWEST GEORGIA THAT REALLY RESPECT YOU.
WE APPRECIATE YOU. AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW, I DON'T
KNOW WHO MARCUS FLOWERS IS TALKING TO, BUT I HAVE YET TO
COME ACROSS ANYBODY IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA WHO DOESN'T LOVE
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. [ CHEERING ]
>> HOW Y'ALL DOING? I'M MARCUS FLOWERS.
LET MY GIVE Y'ALL SOME INFORMATION.
WHO'S A MARINE? SEMPER FI, JARHEAD.
HOW YOU DOING? I'M MARCUS FLOWERS.
>> I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU. I'M A BIG FAN.
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING, SIR? MY NAME IS MARCUS FLOWERS.
>> GOOD TO MEET YOU. CORY.
>> CORY, NICE TO MEET YOU. YOU PLAN ON VOTING IN THIS
ELECTION, SIR?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> I HOPE I CAN EARN YOUR SUPPORT.
CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE. I TALK ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES THAT
ARE IMPORTANT US TO. HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING?
Y'ALL PLANNING ON VOTING?
>> OH, YES.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU AS WELL. HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING?
HOW ARE YOU DOING, MA'AM? WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS DONE.
GOD BLESS YOU.
>> WELL, LOOK AT THAT HAT.
>> LOOK AT THAT HAT.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON, MARC?
>> BROTHER.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> LIKEWISE.
>> ALL RIGHT. LISTEN, LET'S TALK HATS.
LET'S GET TO THE IMPORTANT STUFF.
>> ALL RIGHT. MY GRANDDADDY WAS A SHERIFF AND
A FARMER. HE DIED WHEN I WAS A KID, AND HE
WORE A HAT SIMILAR TO YOURS, BUT HE ALSO WORE A BLACK HAT OUT UP
ON THE FARMS. THIS IS HOW I HONOR HIM.
>> WHAT INSPIRE YOU'D TO RUN?
>> MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE COMES ON MY RADAR, AND I SAW HER,
QANON CONSPIRACY THEORIES, HER CALLING FOR THE DEATH OF ELECTED
OFFICIALS, FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY 6th.
I WAS LIKE OKAY, I DECIDED TO RUN FOR CONGRESS AGAINST
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SHE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROPONENTS OF
THE BIG LIE. SHE DROVE PEOPLE TO THE CAPITOL
TO ATTACK THE CITADEL OF OUR DEMOCRACY.
THE SAME DEMOCRACY MY FRIENDS DIED FOR OVERSEAS.
>> MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IS A FORCE IN THIS DISTRICT.
WHERE DOES THAT POWER COME FROM?
>> RIGHT WING MEDIA. I THINK SHE HAS BEEN GIVEN A LOT
OF COVER BY -- AND I WON'T SAY HIS NAME -- THE ORANGE AMERICAN,
OUR FORMER PRESIDENT, WHERE IT'S BECOME POPULAR THE BEHAVE BADLY.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DECENCY? WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO HAVING
HONOR, INTEGRITY? CORE VALUES THAT THE ARMY
TEACHES.
>> THIS IS A STRONGLY REPUBLICAN DISTRICT.
IT'S LIKE 35 PLUS REPUBLICAN. TRUMP WON IT BY ABOUT 50.
TAYLOR GREENE BY ABOUT 49 POINTS.
THAT'S A HUGE HILL TO CLIMB.
>> I'M UNDER NO ILLUSIONS.
>> SO YOU'RE REALISTIC?
>> ABSOLUTELY. I'M NO PUNDIT EITHER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING HAPPEN ON NOVEMBER 8th.
I KNOW THE PEOPLE WILL MAKE A DECISION.
MY INTENT WAS TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION WITH THE PEOPLE
HERE IN OUR DISTRICT. AND IT'S A MINORITY OF PEOPLE
LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT GET AN
OUTSIZED VOICE.
>> THERE IS REALLY VERY LITTLE VESTIGE OF THE OLD REPUBLICAN
PARTY LEFT. IT'S BECOME COMPLETELY MAGA AND
MORE LIKE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.
>> MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE CANNOT BE IN THE MAINSTREAM.
THAT IS NOT WHO WE ARE AT AS COUNTRY.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE COUNTRY'S REACTION WILL BE IF
AND WHEN SHE BECOMES THE MAINSTREAM IN LEADERSHIP IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY?
>> BROTHER, I THINK WE'RE TRULY LOST AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
>> THIS IS A GREAT HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO BE A PART OF THE
NORTH GEORGIA FAIR.
>> WE'RE IN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE'S DISTRICT.
>> THIS IS THE NORTH GEORGIA FAIR.
>> AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
>> WE WANT TO TALK TO CONSTITUENTS.
WHY DO THEY LIKE HER? WHAT IS IT ABOUT HOW SHE
APPROACHES THE JOB THAT THEY FEEL REFLECTS WHO THEY ARE AND
THEIR CONCERNS IN THEIR LIFE?
>> ARE YOU A SUPPORTER? FAN, NOT A FAN?
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HER.
>> I SHOULDN'T SAY THIS ON CAMERA.
SHE'S GOT TO SAY IT. SHE'S ALL ABOUT GEORGIA.
SHE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. SHE IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER.
SHE IS NOT PART OF THE CABAL, WHICH IS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY AND
OUR WORLD RIGHT NOW.
>> SHE SO OFF THE WALL OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY, I DON'T SEE
HOW ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY VOTE FOR HER.
>> SO I GOT --
>> OH.
>> THERE YOU GO, DUDE.
>> YES, YES!
>> DEMOCRATS DON'T LIKE HER.
>> THAT IS TRUE, BILLY. THE DEMOCRATS DON'T LIKE HER.
>> THEY HATE HER. I DIDN'T LIKE OBAMA.
>> YEAH.
>> I DEFINITELY DIDN'T LIKE HILLARY CLINTON.
>> SOME PEOPLE DO. SOME PEOPLE DO.
>> SO PEOPLE ARE SHEEP.
>> TRUMP ALL THE WAY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> I'M REPUBLICAN, BUT THEY SAY THE COUNTRY IS SO DIVIDED THAT
IT'S BLACK OR WHITE --
>> RIGHT.
>> OR RED OR BLUE.
>> RIGHT.
>> BOTH THOSE COLORS ARE ON THE FLAG.
WE'RE NEEDED TOGETHER. WE GOT TO MAKE IT WORK.
>> WE GOT TO FIGURE IT OUT.
>> $25 FOR UNLIMITED RIDES.
>> THERE IS A CANNON. I THINK I'M MORE AERODYNAMIC
THAN THAT GUY.
>> SHE SEEMS TO GET IN FIGHTS ALL THE TIME AND DOESN'T GET
ALONG WITH ALMOST ANYBODY IN D.C.
>> GOOD.
>> YOU LIKE THAT?
>> I LOVE THAT. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY? THE CRAZIEST THINGS ON ONE SIDE.
I WANT A CRAZY PERSON ON MY SIDE.
>> HE AGREES.
>> YOU THINK THAT'S HIM SAYING THERE IS A LOT OF BULL IN D.C.?
>> 100%.
>> EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO --
>> WE DID IT! THAT WAS WONDERFUL.
>> SPEND MOST OF THE WEEK IN RURAL GEORGIA IN MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE DISTRICT. WE'RE HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HER INFLUENCE IS HERE.
THERE IS NOBODY BETTER TO TALK TO ON THIS TOPIC THAN ROBERT
DRAPER WHO HAS WRITTEN A TON ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
HE HAS JUST RELEASED A BOOK WEAPONS OF MASS DELUSION, AND HE
HAS A STORY ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE "NEW YORK" MAGAZINE ON
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.
>> THE FIRST TIME I LAID EYES ON GREENE WAS THE MORNING OF
JANUARY 6th. I SAW HER WALKING DOWN THE
CORRIDOR OF THE HOUSE LONGWORTH BUILDING, NOT WEARING A MASK
WHEN MASKS WERE MANDATED. A YEAR LATER I GOT MY FIRST OFF
THE RECORD INTERVIEW WITH HER. IN THE INTERIM, I COULD SEE THAT
SHE HAD POSTED THIS OTHER WORLDLY FCC REPORT.
ALL OF HER DONATIONS WERE $3.2 MILLION FOR A FRESHMAN FIRST
QUARTER. UNHEARD OF.
JUST SIMPLY UNHEARD OF. IT ALSO BECAME CLEAR THAT TRUMP
HAD HER BACK. BY THE BEGINNING OF 2022, TRUMP
WAS SITTING DOWN WITH MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND TALKING TO HER
ABOUT HER MAYBE BEING HIS RUNNING MATE.
A CONVERSATION THEY HAVE HAD REPEATEDLY.
>> CONVERSATIONS THEY HAVE HAD?
>> YES, SHE TOLD ME THAT.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT HER INFLUENCE ON McCARTHY AND THE
PARTY.
>> KEVIN McCARTHY, AS HE BEGINS TO REALIZE SHE REALLY HAS A
FOLLOWING, HAS CLEARLY BECOME A FAVORITE OF DONALD TRUMP, I
KEVIN McCARTHY HAVE MADE THE CONSIDERED DECISION THAT WE
CAN'T WIN BACK THE HOUSE AND I CAN'T GET THAT SPEAKER'S GAVEL
IN MY HAND UNLESS TRUMP IS SUPPORTING US.
AND SO THE APPROXIMATE TRUMP ALLY IN MY INVIEWER RON
ALLY IN MY INVIEWER R ALLY IN MY INVIEWE ENVIRON IS M
TAYLOR GREENE. I BETTER KEEP HER CLOSE TO ME.
>> THIS WEEK, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY DEFENDED
HIS COMMENTS WARNING REPUBLICANS WON'T WRITE A BLANK CHECK TO
ECRANE IF REPUBLICANS WIN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
>> McCARTHY SEEMS TO LEAN HER WAY ON UKRAINE FUNDING.
ALREADY SETTING POLICY FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> THE PARTY HAS MOVED TOWARDS HER WITHOUT HER CHANGING ANY OF
HER POLICY BELIEFS. AND IF ANYTHING, BECOMING MORE
EXTREME IN THE MANNER IN WHICH SHE IS EXPRESSING THOSE POLICY
BELIEFS THERE.
>> SOME STRONG PARALLELS TO ANOTHER FORMER LEGISLATOR FROM
GEORGIA, PROFESSOR GINGRICH.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. WHAT THEY REALLY HAVE IN COMMON
IS THEY BOTH UNDERSTAND THE ART OF DEMONIZATION.
UNTIL NEWT GINGRICH CAME ALONG, YOU COULD SAY THAT THE
OPPOSITION PARTY WERE WRONG, WRONG-HEADED, EVEN IMMORAL.
BUT YOU DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE EVIL.
YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT THEY WERE BENT ON RUINING AMERICA.
YOU DIDN'T SUGGEST THAT THEY ARE UNPATRIOTIC --
>> THAT THEY ARE PEDOPHILES.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, YES. BUT GINGRICH SUGGESTED TOO YOU
DON'T GIVE ANY QUARTER TO THE OPPONENT.
AND MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE HAS TAKEN A PAGE FROM THAT, AND OF
COURSE AMPED IT UP.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT WEAPONS OF MASS DELUSION.
>> SHE IS ONE OF THE WEAPONS IN QUESTION.
AND THE DELUSIONS, THE PRINCIPLE ONE, THAT THE ELECTION WAS
STOLEN. BUT SINCE THAT TIME THERE HAVE
BEEN ALL THESE ADJACENT DELUSIONS, THESE ADJACENT LIES
THAT JANUARY 6th WAS AN ORDINARY TOURIST EVENT, THAT THE BORDER
HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY OPENED BIP DEMOCRATS WHO HOPE TO AUGUR IN
THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY, THESE ARE ALL DELUSIONS.
AND THEY'RE SHARED EN MASSE. AND MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE AND
DONALD TRUMP ARE SPREADING THESE TIME AND AGAIN.
AND IF YOU LIVE IN THAT ECOSYSTEM AND THAT'S ALL YOU
HEAR FROM YOUR INFORMATION SOURCES, FROM YOUR ELECTED
LEADERS, THEN HOW DO YOU GET DISABUSED OF THAT?
IT LEADS TO WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW A SITUATION WHERE TENS OF
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE OCCUPY THE UPSIDE DOWN WORLD WHEN IT COMES
TO FACTS.
>> YOU'VE HAD EXPERIENCE OVER TIME DEALING WITH HER.
YOU'RE AWARE THAT WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH HER, SHE CAN COME
ACROSS AS PRETTY REASONABLE.
>> SURE.
>> AND YET THE THINGS SHE SAYING ARE OUTRIGHT LIES.
>> SHE REALLY LIVES IN A BUBBLE WHERE ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE
SAID TO EACH OTHER OVER AND OVER.
SO WHEN SHE SITS TO CONVINCE YOU THAT SHE IS NORMAL, SHE IS
SPEAKING OFTENTIMES THE TRUTH AS SHE KNOWS IT.
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> SO I'VE BEEN HEARING SOME GREAT NUMBERS, EVERYBODY.
EARLY VOTING IS LIKE WOW. THERE IS NO VOTE SUPPRESSION
HAPPENING IN GEORGIA, ACCORDING TO OUR NUMBERS.
>> WELL, I THINK I'M HEADED BACK HERE.
IS THAT WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO GO?
OVER HERE. OKAY.
>> IN LESS THAN ONE TERM, YOU HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
RECOGNIZABLE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
IT'S NOT UNTIL AROUND '16 THAT YOU BECAME REALLY INTERESTED IN
POLITICS AND WANTING TO RUN. THAT RIGHT?
>> YEAH. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FOR PRESIDENT
TRUMP. I LIKED THE WAY HE TALKED.
HE REMINDS ME OF MOST MEN I KNOW, MEN LIKE MY DAD OR MY
UNCLES OR DIFFERENT MEN I'VE KNOWN THROUGHOUT MY LIFE.
THEN WE WATCHED PAUL RYAN'S SPEAKERSHIP IN A
REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED HOUSE, REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED SENATE AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> AND THEY STILL COULDN'T GET IT DONE FOR HIM.
>> NO, THEY COULD NOT GET IT DONE.
THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT ME OFF THE BENCH AND MADE WE MAINE WANT TO
GET INVOLVED IN POLITICS.
>> YOU WERE THERE FOR A MONTH.
>> YEAH.
>> FEBRUARY OF 2021, THERE WAS A VOTE TO STRIP YOU OF YOUR
COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS.
>> YEAH, FEBRUARY 4th.
>> SO ON FEBRUARY 4th, 2021, WHEN THEY HAD THIS VOTE, THE
REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP DID NOT REALLY HELP YOU.
AND THEN WE FIND A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, YOU'RE VERY MUCH IN
DEMAND IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATES ARE
SEEKING YOUR ENDORSEMENT. I KNOW THE CAMPAIGN WITH J.D.
VANCE AND CARE VANCE AND CAKARI LAKE.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED. WHAT HAS CHANGED IN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY?
>> WELL, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT SPEAK IN POLITICS.
NUMBER ONE IS MONEY. THAT'S CAMPAIGN DONATIONS.
NUMBER TWO ARE PEOPLE. CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FLOODED IN.
I BECAME ONE OF THE TOP FUNDRAISERS INSTANTLY, THAT
CORRIDOR. AS A FRESHMAN WITH NO COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS. AND THEN SECONDLY, VOTERS ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY WERE TELLING ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES TO SUPPORT
ME. THEY FOUND OUT REAL QUICK THAT
THEY COULDN'T MARGINALIZE ME AND JUST EXPECT TO SEND ME HOME IN
MY NEXT PRIMARY.
>> THE FIRST DAY OF PRESIDENT BIDEN'S TENURE, YOU FILED
IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES OVER JOE BIDEN'S SON HUNTER.
AND THERE IS FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES WHERE YOU HAVE SPONSORED
IMPEACHMENT OVER DIFFERENT ISSUES, DERELICTION OF DUTY
RELATED TO WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN, ENDANGERING THE
SECURITY OF THE NATION DUE TO BORDER, USURPING LEGISLATE
SLATIVE AUTHORITY, UNDERMINING SECURITY BY RELEASING OILS FROM
THE FUTURE RESERVES. McCARTHY WAS ASKED ABOUT THIS
WEEK. HE SAID "I DON'T SEE IT BEFORE
ME RIGHT NOW."" DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?
>> I THINK HE JUST WANTS TO SEE PROOF.
THERE ARE SO MANY INVESTIGATIONS PLANNED.
I THINK -- I THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE REMISS TO SAY OH, KEVIN
McCARTHY WOULD NEVER DO IT.
>> LAST YEAR YOU HAD COMPARED MASKING TO THE HOLOCAUST.
AND THEN AFTER THAT HAPPENED, YOU WENT TO HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND
GAVE A SPEECH ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW THERE.
>> THERE ARE WORDS THAT I HAVE SAID AND REMARKS THAT I HAVE
MADE THAT I KNOW ARE OFFENSIVE. AND FOR THAT I WANT TO
APOLOGIZE.
>> AND THEN AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN GAVE THAT SPEECH IN
PHILADELPHIA --
>> DONALD TRUMP AND THE MAGA REPUBLICANS REPRESENT AN
EXTREMISM THAT THREATENS THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR
REPUBLIC.
>> YOU TWEETED THAT BIDEN IS HITLER.
AND A VIDEO OF BIDEN WITH A HITLER MUSTACHE.
IS THAT A REFLECTION OF YOU CHANGING YOUR MIND?
>> HAS -- HOW MANY TIMES HAS PEOPLE CALLED PRESIDENT TRUMP
HITLER? HOW MANY TIMES HAVE PEOPLE
CALLED REPUBLICANS NAZIS? FIVE OR SIX YEARS NOW, THEY'VE
BEEN REFERRING TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AS HITLER AND NAZI.
>> IT HAPPENS A LOT.
>> ALL THE TIME.
>> SO WHY ALL OF THE SUDDEN IS IT AN ISSUE FOR US TO COMPARE?
AND WHY AM I ALL OF THE SUDDEN VILIFIED FOR THAT STATEMENT?
>> I'M ASKING BECAUSE LAST YEAR YOU SAID --
>> I'M NOT -- NO --
>> THAT'S MY QUESTION. IS IT DIFFERENT?
BECAUSE YOU HAD COMPARED MASKING TO THE HOLOCAUST AND THEN YOU
APOLOGIZED FOR THAT.
>> YOU WANT TO PUSH AT ME ABOUT MY STATEMENTS AND RHETORIC.
>> I'M NOT --
>> LET ME SAY THIS. I HAVE NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR.
AND WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON IS WHAT'S AFFECTING THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> BUT THAT SAME AMERICAN PEOPLE WHEN YOU SAY THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES IS HITLER?
>> YOU TELL ME. I SAID WHAT WE SAW.
IT WAS AN IMAGE. AND IT WAS HOW HE SPOKE.
>> YOU MEAN HIS IMAGE -- THE IMAGE WHAT BIDEN LOOKED LIKE?
>> HE DECLARED IN THIS SPEECH THAT BASICALLY HALF OF THIS
COUNTRY WAS THE ENEMY OF THE STATE.
>> HE SAID SOME REPUBLICANS, NOT ALL REPUBLICANS.
>> OKAY. SO WHO IS HE TALKING TO, ME?
BIDEN DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
>> HE DOES. HE CARES ABOUT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HE DOES.
>> IF HE DID, HIS POLICIES WOULD NOT BE PUNISHING PEOPLE AND
EVERYONE IS SUFFERING EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> I WATCHED YOUR DEBATE. YOU'RE ASKED IF YOU THOUGHT JOE
BIDEN WAS LEGITIMATELY ELECTED. YOU SAID HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES. DO YOU THINK HE WAS LEGITIMATELY
ELECTED?
>> I THINK THERE WAS A LOT OF FRAUD IN THE ELECTION.
AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, TAXPAYERS
BY THE WAY THAT PAY FOR THE ELECTIONS.
IF THEY WANT AUDITS.
>> THERE WERE AUDITS.
>> NO, THERE WERE HAND COUNTS. THERE WERE MANY THINGS THAT
WEREN'T INVESTIGATED. COFFEY COUNTY NEVER CERTIFIED.
COFFEY COUNTY NEVER CERTIFIED THEIR ELECTION.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
>> YOU ARE A MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
>> YES. I ABOUT
I ABOOBJECTED ON JANUARY 6th.
>> JOE BIDEN IS PRESIDENT. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WAS ILLEGITIMATELY HOLDING THAT
OFFICE, WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO SAY SO?
>> THIS QUESTION THAT YOU PEOPLE ASK ALL THE TIME.
YES. Y'ALL ALWAYS ASK THIS STUFF, AND
IT'S SO RIDICULOUS. IT'S ABSURD.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY IT'S ABSURD?
>> WHY.
>> JOE BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT. WAKE UP GO.
OUT THERE AND ASK ALL THOSE PEOPLE.
>> I HAVE. I HAVE.
>> SERIOUSLY.
20% OF THE COUNTRY THINK THAT HE
SHOULD BE FORCIBLY REMOVED.
>> 20% OF OUR 300 AND WHATEVER POPULATION WAS NOT POLLED.
STATISTICS IS GARBAGE. YOU CAN MAKE IT SAY WHATEVER YOU
WANT. AND AGAIN, THAT QUESTION IS SO
IRRELEVANT. YOU KNOW WHAT THE REAL QUESTION
IS? WHEN IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
GOING TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER AND STOP RUINING PEEP'S LIVES
THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION. JOE BIDEN IS THE PRESIDENT, AND
HE IS SCREWING UP THE COUNTRY. PERIOD.
>> THE FLOYD COUNTY GOP CHAIR IS A BIG FAN OF YOURS.
HE SAID HE THOUGHT YOU MAY RUN FOR PRESIDENT ONE DAY.
THAT SOMETHING YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF?
IS THAT SOMETHING YOU THINK ABOUT?
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY SOLID PLANS ON ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I LOOK AT WHAT IS POSSIBLE, WHAT'S ASANABLE
WHAT'S ASANATTAINABLE AND IS IT IMPORTANT TO DO.
>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE QUESTIONS YOU ARE CONSIDERING AS YOU
CONSIDER TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
>> WELL, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE IN CONGRESS.
I TOUCH DOWN AND THE DAYS FLY AND THEY CAN'T KEEP UP BECAUSE
THEY ALL FALL DOWN, THEY ALL FALL DOWN
