The last thing that Donald Trump wanted to see after waking up today was Marjorie Taylor Green, one of his former best friends, one of his former biggest allies in government, dropping a midterm election bomb on him during her CNN interview last night with Caitlin Collins. She was speaking about her projections for the upcoming midterm elections that are happening today and it does not sound good for the Republican Party and she puts the blame squarely on Donald Trump certainly where it belongs. So I want to break down this interview for you, show you a couple of clips from it. We'll keep it short and sweet because today is busy, there's a lot to talk about today. So please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about the story. I'm going to be covering all the midterm election stuff and more and let's get into it. So let's start with this first clip where Marjorie Taylor Green was talking about Donald Trump's closing pitch to the American people and the speech he gave. That was the speech he gave in front of the reflecting pool where he was bragging about redoing it. That was his closing message to the American people and Marjorie Taylor Green had something to say about it saying that's something that Americans do not want. Nobody was asking for Donald Trump to make the reflecting pool a total disaster. He did it anyway and now he's trying to brag about it to the American people and frame it as a good thing. Yeah, I don't think so. Watch this. I was very disappointed with American struggling with the continued rise of inflation that's been going on since COVID high prices with gas and diesel and constant complaining about the cost of health insurance and health care with no one listening to them standing in front of the reflecting pool that most Americans I would say 99.99% of Americans don't ever think about on a daily basis was absolutely the wrong message to send to Americans asking them to go vote for Republicans tomorrow. Why do you think you did that? I have no idea. Look, I've been in the construction industry all my life and I can really appreciate someone talking about repairs and renovations but the real things that Republicans should have focused on the mandate that we were all given in 2024 was to help America. That was to make life easier for Americans, lower the cost of living, lower the price of gas and diesel, end the foreign wars and work on the issues affecting Americans especially the younger generations and that was what the 24 campaign was all about. Isn't it crazy how Marjorie Taylor Greene who used to be one of Donald Trump's biggest defenders, one of his, as I mentioned, biggest allies in government is even saying like yeah, I have no idea why he did that. Like I have no idea why he thought it was a good idea to speak in front of the reflecting pool. That's the location for his closing message. The American people are out there saying we want an end to wars, we want an end to the corruption in government, the enriching yourself off of the presidency, off of a Senate seat, a House seat, whatever. We want to end the corruption, a law that passes, that ban stock trading for example for members of Congress, we want things to be affordable, we don't want high gas prices, high diesel prices, high grocery prices. That's what the American people are saying. Paul after poll shows that and Donald Trump said okay, I hear you. Instead of that, what if I make a reflecting pool blue and then have the blue paint peel off and then give a speech in front of that pool bragging about how good it was? Would you like that instead? The American people are saying no, no, and nobody has any idea why he decided to do that. It is just such a, you know, self-inflicted error, which quite frankly as a Democrat, I welcome. I am not complaining that Donald Trump gave that speech in front of the reflecting pool and said what he said, I think it's absolutely amazing because it's more likely that he loses after that speech. And I would like to point out that the speech was just such an embarrassment. This is a photo that was captured by Reuters of the speech and look like it's so, it's so pathetic. It almost like perfectly represents the Trump administration, increasingly isolated, ignored, and hated. Really? I mean, he really, really is. The approval numbers show it. And this is the location. This is like the speech he gave, his closing argument to the American people for what should be his final midterm elections as president. And then, you know, he's talking about the reflecting pool. Quote, it's sort of a soft dark blue, they call it, gives you great reflectivity. He says of the color. He's also holding up photos of pipes and other materials that they change. This is what he's saying to the American people. He's holding up pipes and images from the reflecting pool. Is this not so embarrassing for Republicans? Are they not looking at this stuff and saying, like, wow, we're screwed? I think they probably are. And he was also during this speech, bragging about wanting to rename the reflecting pool. Because that's what Americans are thinking about, right? That's what Americans care about. The name of the reflecting pool. That will make things cheaper, right? That'll end a war. He's completely out of touch. And I would argue that really this whole closing message thing is a result of his very severe, very serious mental decline where he thinks he's just like, you know, untouchable. He can just do whatever and people will vote for him. And then Marjorie Taylor Greene was asked about, you know, what do you think's going to happen? What do you think's going to take place with these midterm elections? And she was pretty brutally honest for the Republicans watch. If Republicans do lose, do you think that's a reflection of these Republican candidates or do you think it's the president's policies? How do you see it? I think it's a complete referendum on Donald Trump, his betrayal, where he promised no more foreign wars than to bring world peace, not releasing the Epstein files, defending pedophiles and rapists instead of helping women that were raped as 14 and 16 year old girls. And also not listening to everyday Americans who are saying we cannot afford the cost of living, we cannot afford health insurance, we cannot afford these high prices of gas and diesel. Well, he is constantly bragging about a ballroom and his big donors and having these big fancy dinners as if he can't even relate to the American people. It'll also be a referendum on Mike Johnson and Republicans and who Congress, who never ever stood up to Donald Trump and pushed their own agenda in the House of Representatives and in the Senate. They just stood behind him applauding everything he said, every lie he told and never fought back for the American people who gave them the majority. Well, I mean, on that you said something earlier that really should help to me about Republicans, you said they are all a rationally afraid of a truth social post and scared to upset the cult leader yet they are going to lose because of the cult leader. Do you think how Republicans treat the president will be different after tomorrow night potentially? I certainly hope so. I think we'll definitely see major changes quickly with some elected Republicans, but many of them that got elected simply because he endorsed them, not because they fought through a primary and really earned their vote. They got there because they were so supported by Trump and so supported by his campaign team. I think a lot of them will still continue to stay silent, but that's going to be the major mistake. And you know, these, all of these people, especially in the House, they need to remember that their job title is representative and that means they're supposed to represent the people that vote for them to get there. Not for the big lobbying groups that write Max Donor checks, not for big corporate CEOs that might make them feel special or any type of fancy party they can go to in Washington, D.C. It's every day people back home that they are supposed to represent. So this is a lesson. If Republicans lose big tomorrow, it's a lesson I think is rightly deserved. And Democrats, they'll have their opportunity to show America if they've come up with a plan that will truly help the American people. And that's yet to be seen. Wow. You know, every time I cover Marjorie Taylor Greene on the show, when she really goes off on Donald Trump, like she's doing in this interview, I, I just can't help but remember, you know, around January 6, where she was like supporting Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the election. She was buying into his fraud claims. She met with him at the White House to discuss a plan to do it. She attacked Biden through all four years of his presidency, despite him, you know, passing infrastructure laws, passing laws to help veterans with their health care and, you know, and, and being exposed to toxic burn pits, the Pact Act, so many things that she went after Joe Biden for that are objectively good laws that have helped people. And now, you know, she is saying the opposite of what she would have said back then, it's just kind of like a remarkable transformation. And let me be clear, time out. Marjorie Taylor Greene is still crazy. She still believes a lot of crazy conspiracy theories, but I will always welcome Republicans fighting with each other. I really love it. But what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying here that Republicans, you know, should be concerned that it's not looking good for them, that the blame is on Donald Trump, is kind of being echoed throughout the Republican party, at least the concerned part. So for example, Matt Schlapp, who's been accused of very serious crimes, by the way, put out quote, dear Kansas conservatives, if we lose the Senate seat in Kansas, we most likely lose the majority in the Senate. God willing. And I'm not even religious. It could all come down to that stark reality. Sometimes in politics, it's not about a coronation, but just cold reality. Vote Republican tomorrow, even those of you who are hurting. If you don't, it will all get much worse. Your message of frustration has been heard loudly and clearly. Yes, it's been heard loudly and clearly. And that's why Donald Trump was striking Iran again last night, loudly and clearly. That's why Donald Trump is still continuing the Iran war. That's why gas prices are still so high. But if Republicans are putting out a message like this, like, hey, everybody in Kansas, go vote for Republicans. Their internal numbers are not looking good. There is mass panic. And You know, Marjorie Taylor Greene is right to say that Republicans kind of should be worried. Even Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida, is posting on social media essentially begging people to vote, saying Republicans are underperforming in Polk County. We have a voter registration advantage of 60,000 in the county, and it went R plus 30, four years ago. And he's posting a map showing how the turnout is really low and that Democrats and Republicans are essentially tied in the turnout. There are so many Republicans who are publicly saying, like, yeah, we are kind of screwed. And that remains to be seen. I mean, fingers crossed that Republicans are actually screwed in the midterm elections. We will see, the elections are today. Hours from now, the polls will close, so we shall see. But man, we have such a great opportunity to end Donald Trump's presidency, as we know it. I hope we take it. Thank you so much for watching. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like, comment, let me know what you think about this stuff. Let me know what you thought about this Marjorie Taylor Greene interview. Donald Trump is not going to like that in this interview. She was putting the blame squarely on him. He hates that stuff. So we'll see if he posts a social media meltdown. Have an amazing rest of your day. We'll talk very soon today. And yeah, let's do it.
