“He betrayed his campaign promise” — Marjorie Taylor Greene hits out at Trump over Iran & Epstein

[0:00] King Charles, as you know, is visiting the U.S. next week. [0:04] He will be in Washington, D.C. as well, but he won't meet survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. [0:09] Is that a mistake as far as you're concerned? [0:14] Yes, I do think it is a mistake. [0:16] I can only give my opinion as an American that, of course, he should meet with the Epstein survivors. [0:21] He betrayed his campaign promise of no more foreign wars and launched right into a full-blown war in Iran. [0:31] Next, one of the U.S.'s best-known politicians is wading into the debate about the King and Queen's royal visit to the states next week. [0:39] A long-term advocate for the Epstein survivors, Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, was once one of President Trump's biggest cheerleaders. [0:46] Now she's one of his most high-profile critics. [0:49] She's stood down from Congress now, and she's cut ties with her former leader, saying he has gone insane. [0:56] Let's talk to Marjorie Taylor Greene now. [0:58] Thank you very much for talking to our audience again and for being with us. [1:02] King Charles, as you know, is visiting the U.S. next week. [1:06] He will be in Washington, D.C. as well, but he won't meet survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. [1:11] Is that a mistake as far as you're concerned? [1:16] Yes, I do think it is a mistake, but it's also a mistake that our president, President Trump, has not met with the Epstein victims either. [1:23] And this was something that I talked with the president about and asked many times, others in his administration, that he bring the Epstein survivors into the Oval Office, talk with them privately, and show them support. [1:40] And that's what I continue to demand. [1:44] I think that's what we should demand of our leaders. [1:46] These women deserve to be heard. [1:49] Their stories deserve to be told, and there should be justice for them. [1:53] Here in America, no one has been prosecuted, no one has been indicted, no one has been charged for the horrific crimes against these women. [2:03] And from my understanding, there's over 1,000 of them. [2:06] I hear what you're saying about no meeting with Donald Trump. [2:11] I wonder, in terms of the king, do you have a message for him? [2:15] Well, of course, he's not my king, and the good people of the U.K. would have to make their opinions known about what they believe their king should do. [2:27] I can only give my opinion as an American that, of course, he should meet with the Epstein survivors. [2:33] I think he should meet other victims of rape, especially young women that were raped in your country by migrants. [2:40] I think that's another story that has been tragic. [2:44] And, you know, I stand with women and really any victim of rape, and I think that they should take them seriously. [2:53] You, of course, were one of Donald Trump's biggest supporters. [2:56] One of the reasons that you fell out with him was over the release of the Epstein files. [3:00] You've known him for years. [3:03] You now say his mental capacity should be examined and that he has gone insane. [3:10] What exactly are you saying there? [3:14] Well, this is the way that the president has acted and the words that he's used and the change in policy that he's taken has been shocking to many Americans that supported him and voted for him. [3:28] His campaign promise of no more foreign wars, no more regime change. [3:34] I campaigned with the president all over the country for years, spoke at many of his rallies, and we promised America that. [3:40] Americans are sick and tired of funding the foreign wars. [3:43] We're nearly $40 trillion in debt, but yet this is a war that President Trump himself took on with the prime minister of Israel, and it's one that many Americans do not support. [3:55] But it was when the president called and said that he would wipe out an entire civilization of people. [4:02] We're talking about innocent men, women, and children. [4:06] That is insanity. [4:08] And those are words that should be taken very seriously, and those were words that many Americans were outraged by. [4:15] And you tried to persuade people to vote for Donald Trump, that you wore a hat once saying Trump was right about everything. [4:22] Now you're saying he essentially should be removed from office. [4:26] How badly wrong do you think you got it if you think you did get it wrong? [4:30] Well, I wasn't wrong about the policies and the promises that I made on the campaign trail, because those were the same policies that President Trump was promising the American people in 2024. [4:45] But it's the drastic change that he's taken once he became president in his second administration. [4:51] That would be on the Epstein files. [4:54] Americans demanded transparency. [4:56] President Trump himself said that this is something he would deliver. [4:59] And then he fought all of us in Congress on releasing the Epstein files, even going so far as telling me on the phone that it would hurt his own friends. [5:10] But he did sign the act. [5:11] And he called me a traitor. [5:12] He did call you a traitor. [5:13] He did. [5:14] But he also signed the act in the end. [5:18] He signed the act because he was forced to. [5:21] You see, here in America, it became one of the top issues. [5:24] And Americans were calling congressional offices all day long. [5:28] They were demanding it all over the country, all over social media. [5:31] The polling showed it, that Americans demanded the release of the Epstein files. [5:36] So once we passed that in the House of Representatives, the Senate had tremendous pressure to pass it as well. [5:42] And President Trump had no choice than to other than to sign the release of the Epstein files. [5:49] Why do you think, then, to use your words, he drastically changed in this second term? [5:54] What's going on? [5:57] Honestly, I can't answer that question. [6:00] I think that's one that the president can only answer himself. [6:03] But I look not at his words, but at his actions. [6:07] And that's what many Americans are looking at. [6:09] He fought against all of us to release the Epstein files. [6:13] He covered for the disgusting men that spent their time and did business with a convicted pedophile [6:20] and men that did other things that were revealed in the Epstein files. [6:25] And then he betrayed his campaign promise of no more foreign wars [6:29] and launched right into a full-blown war in Iran. [6:34] And this is something that Americans are tired of. [6:36] Look, one of the things that we're facing here in America is a difficult economy. [6:40] Americans are suffering just as many other, and I have compassion for people around the world [6:46] in this energy crisis, but paying so much money for gasoline and cost of living, [6:51] especially for the younger generations that are struggling so hard [6:55] and can't afford even to rent or buy a home. [6:59] I'm just pausing you there because we are at the end of our program. [7:01] But we thank you for your time. [7:03] Thank you very much, Marjorie Taylor Greene. [7:05] Thank you. [7:06] Thank you.
