MEGYN KELLY SHOW: Megyn Kelly is joined by former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to discuss pro-war propaganda being pushed out on social media and throughout the establishment press as America begins war with Iran, whether this foreign policy action is an abandonment of MAGA principles, the reality of America First, the parts of the right that are celebrating today, and more. “Pete Hegseth said this morning, that we didn’t start this war, but I hate to argue with the Secretary of the Department of War, America and Israel definitely started this war, and you can’t lie that way to the American people,” Greene said. “And so you know how I feel right now. I am irate. I am furious about this. We are nearly $ 40 trillion in debt. How much is this war going to cost us? We have seen enough of our American troops dead and murdered for foreign countries, and now we’ve had four dead and murdered… for Israel and for the Iranian people, not for the American people.”

FMR REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-GA): I’d also like to point out that X is saturated in bots as well, and paid social media influencers who just echo whatever their money tells them to say the money that they’re getting paid for. And so I think that, just like our media has been nothing but propaganda for as long as you and I can remember, I think social media has turned into the same thing. What I do know is most Americans, and it’s being proved in polling that’s coming out, most Americans are completely against this war, because, like you said, the President has made no case for it. We live our ordinary lives, and we don’t feel threatened by Iran. We don’t walk around thinking that in any moment an Iranian ballistic missile is going to land on our head. We don’t. Here’s what Americans are focused on. 72% of Americans can’t afford health insurance, 58% of Americans can’t afford car insurance, 67% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 31% of Americans can’t afford their back taxes. 50% of Americans are in massive credit card debt. That’s where we are in America. And I campaigned with the President. As a matter of fact, I was one of the only Republicans that was out there for Donald Trump when the rest of the neocons, by the way that are just cheering him on now, had abandoned him and were trying to beat him in a primary and stop him from being president again. I was out there on the front lines for Make America Great Again. And Make America Great Again was supposed to be America first, not Israel first, not any foreign country first, not any foreign people first, but the American people first in our problems. God bless the Iranian people, I hope to God that they can have a government that is for them and that treats women fairly, but what we have seen happen right now is we’ve seen over 100 little girls killed at a school from a bomb, and I don’t know whose bomb it was, but they’re dead today because America and Israel attacked Iran. So that’s not really good for Iranian women, and our president is saying that the Iranian people are all of a sudden going to topple their regime. Well, I don’t think the Iranian people are going to be toppling their regime when they’re getting blown apart by the United States and Israel in an unprovoked attack, and yes, it was unprovoked. And Pete Hegseth said this morning, that we didn’t start this war, but I hate to argue with the Secretary of the Department of War, America and Israel definitely started this war, and you can’t lie that way to the American people. And so you know how I feel right now. I am irate. I am furious about this. We are nearly $ 40 trillion in debt. How much is this war going to cost us? We have seen enough of our American troops dead and murdered for foreign countries, and now we’ve had four dead and murdered… for Israel and for the Iranian people, not for the American people. And I don’t want to see any more dead and murdered. Our military is filled with some of the greatest people from our country, and God bless their families, who are probably losing their minds right now, terrified that their son or daughter or their husband or wife or brother or sister may come home in a flag draped coffin… Then we have the president who, by the way, Megyn, this really needs to be said. Donald Trump has said repeatedly on camera and in interviews, he doesn’t think he’s going to heaven. Well, I want to ask a serious question, what is in his mind? What is his mental state if he doesn’t think he’s going to heaven, and he is a man towards the end, he’s in the fourth quarter, he’s towards the end of his life – How does that pan out for the rest of us when we have a president of the United States who doesn’t think and is convinced he’s not going to heaven, what does that mean his decision making is? He already said to the New York Post today that he doesn’t care about the polling. He doesn’t care about what the American people think, and he may put troops on the ground. He took a oh, this is going to be a few day war to now it’s going to be maybe four weeks or more. I want to say what is happening to the man that I supported, you supported the man that denounced what happened in Iraq, the man that said no more foreign wars, no more regime change, promise it on the campaign. JD Vance promised it. Tulsi Gabbard promised it. All of them promised it. And we’re a year in, and we’re in another f**king war, and we’ve got American troops being killed. I think it’s time for America to rip the band-aid off, and we need to have a serious conversation about what the f**k is happening to this country, and who in the hell is are these decisions being made for and who is making these decisions?
