MTG calls for Trump's removal from office: ‘He’s out of control’

[0:00] The Middle East remains tense amid this fragile temporary truce, even after President Trump [0:05] backed down from his threat to eliminate a, quote, whole civilization in Iran. [0:11] And joining us now to discuss what's going on, the former Republican Congresswoman, [0:15] Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Congresswoman, thanks so much for joining us. I know you recently [0:20] called for the president to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution [0:25] after that threat that he made about destroying the whole civilization of Iran. The president [0:30] has a long history of shocking and unprecedented social media posts. Why was this the final straw [0:37] for you? Because it's absolute madness. How can any person that is mentally stable call for an entire [0:46] civilization of people to be murdered, to be wiped out, to never come back again? That's what the [0:53] president called for. And that, that shows that there's serious instability in his thinking that [1:00] he would, not only would he even say that in a private room, perhaps with his advisors, but [1:07] actually go to his megaphone, his truth social and post that for the entire country and the entire [1:14] world. And I'm, this is, it's, it's, it's unreal. This should never be tolerated. I know that's a, [1:22] it's a very difficult, hard stretch to, to see it actually coming through, but the conversation [1:29] needs to be had and he's out of control and people within the administration need to step up, [1:36] take responsibility and rein this in. And administration officials, as we've heard, [1:42] have said that he was ready to follow through with this threat. Just hours after he made it, [1:47] he announced this two week ceasefire. That's still very tenuous at the moment. The White House is [1:52] claiming it was the president's tough rhetoric that brought Iran to its knees. What do you say to [1:59] that? I'm sorry. That's not, that's not tough rhetoric. It's, it's insanity. It's calling for [2:07] the murder of an entire civilization of men, women, children, of, of innocent civilians. That's not, [2:15] that is not what I would call proper or even decent negotiations. There, there should be negotiations [2:23] happening and they did happen. And J.D. Vance, the vice president was the one that helped bring [2:29] that ceasefire. It doesn't seem to be much of a ceasefire, but it is supposedly a ceasefire. And [2:35] that happened through negotiations through J.D. Vance. And J.D. Vance did not go to his social media [2:40] and threatened to murder every single man, woman, and child in Iran. Presumably, we can only presume [2:47] that that would happen through nuclear bombs because that's the type of horrific weaponry that [2:54] would be used to wipe out an entire civilization. So no, I pushed back on that. And I think the [2:59] American people fully agree. Everyone was outraged. I just want to be clear, Congresswoman, [3:05] do you genuinely believe President Trump had the intention of killing Iran's entire population [3:11] of more than 90 million people if Iran had not agreed to a ceasefire? Is the U.S. military, [3:17] for example, even capable of that? I don't think that our good men and women in the U.S. military [3:25] would want to even carry something like that out. That's, that's the other thing. And I think that's [3:31] important to point out. We have, we, our men and women in the military are the greatest among us. [3:36] They're serving our country, defending our freedoms, and I'm so grateful to them and I support them so [3:41] much. But we should never have a commander in chief that, that would call for, for the great men and [3:48] women of the United States military to wipe out an entire civilization, civilization and put that [3:55] on their shoulders. And, you know, we've already got so many veterans that live with PTSD every single [4:01] day in America, um, that, that can't sleep at night with terrible nightmares of, of the wars that they [4:08] fought in, in foreign lands, foreign wars and foreign lands, um, not for America, for foreign [4:15] countries and foreign purposes. And this is what the president was talking about. So I can only take [4:20] him at his word because those are the words that he spoke to the entire world. I just want to follow [4:25] up with that. I mean, the white house has denied they were going to use a nuclear bomb, but for [4:29] critics of Trump, they're like, you know, look, how can you say no one saw this coming? Obviously [4:35] calling for the death of a whole civilization is at a different level. But as, as Wolf mentioned [4:41] earlier, Trump has been known for his bombastic rhetoric, right? He's been doing that for years. [4:48] And you used to be a supporter. Now you're speaking out against him, but people might be asking, well, [4:54] I mean, didn't you see this coming? Well, you know, I've always been a supporter of President [5:02] Trump for the policies. That's what I cared about. But once he became president, he changed his policies. [5:09] What we campaigned on was no more foreign wars. And President Trump said he was going to be the [5:14] peace president. Well, he's gone from being the peace president to the war president. And that's, [5:20] I don't support that at all. I'm not offended oftentimes by people's words. I mean, people on [5:25] the right and the left have lots of different types of language and statements. However, it's [5:31] their actions that, that is what I pay attention to. And the president lost my support when he covered [5:38] up the Epstein files and called me a traitor and wanted to, to primary me because I supported women [5:46] that were raped at 16 and 18 years old or 14 years old even. And I don't support the president [5:52] in going to war in Iran. And what I, what we campaigned on and what President Trump promised [5:58] America was to put America first. And now we've got rising inflation, gas prices are going out of [6:05] control, but we also have to put the blame on both parties. $100 in 2021 is now only $80 in 2026 because [6:16] of the declining value of the dollar. So Pamela and Wolf, I blame both parties for this and it's an [6:23] absolute failure to the American people, but I cannot support a president that wants to murder an entire [6:28] civilization of people. Right. And, and you, you called for his removal to the 25th amendment after [6:34] that threat. When you look at the polls, I wonder what your reaction is when it comes to MAGA [6:40] Republicans, people who identify as MAGA, nine out of 10 support this war. And that's pretty consistent [6:48] across the board. How, how do you explain that? Well, I would explain that by breaking down the [6:56] demographics of that poll, the polling that I have seen is it's mainly the baby boomers, Republicans [7:02] that watch Fox news all day, every day are the ones that are primarily, mostly supporting this war [7:09] in Iran. However, it's the majority of Americans, especially 50 and under that do not support this [7:16] war in Iran. And I would argue that it's, if the baby boomer generation, my parents' generation, [7:22] whom I love very much, needs to think clearly about how a war in Iran could have long-term [7:28] implications for their children and their grandchildren and, and really can reconsider [7:33] their support for that. We've got the Strait of Hormuz is, is barely, barely opening with very few [7:39] ships going through. The price of oil is skyrocketing and this isn't going to end quickly. This is going [7:45] to have economic profound effects for a very long time. And it'll take a long time to get back on [7:52] track, especially if this war continues and continues to escalate. So my prayers are with [7:59] those that are negotiating a ceasefire and a peace deal. I very hope, very much hope that J.D. Vance [8:06] is successful because it seems to be his voice is the one that is really pushing for peace. And to end [8:14] this, he was opposed to the war to begin with, as there's been many reports that have said that. [8:19] And I really hope to see, um, people in leadership in Washington, D.C., get back on track and care [8:25] about regular Americans because regular Americans are sick and tired of all of this. And they're tired [8:31] of not being able to afford life. And they very much want the drama in Washington to end so that [8:37] they can, they can carry on and, and enjoy their everyday lives. They're not interested in killing [8:43] people in foreign lands. I can tell you that much. Congresswoman, with Congress out of town [8:48] on recess once again, right now, we really didn't hear the Republican leadership respond to President [8:54] Trump's threat to eliminate an entire civilization. We did, however, see many Democrats join you in [9:00] calling for President Trump's removal from office. What do you make of the fact that you seem to be more [9:06] on the side of Democrats on this specific issue rather than your own party? Uh, what do you think? [9:14] Uh, just to be clear, Wolf, I'm not a Democrat. So I want to make that, uh, clearly known. None of my [9:20] positions have changed. Um, but the, I think I'm one of the few honest Republicans willing to talk about [9:28] it. Everyone else is just afraid to speak out against the president because they're terrified of [9:34] having an ugly truth social post dropped on them or a primary challenge like what's happening to [9:40] Thomas Massey supported by dark money from billionaires that don't even live in Thomas [9:45] Massey's, uh, Kentucky, the fourth district of Kentucky. That's what other Republicans are [9:51] terrified. So they won't speak up. They're cowards. And I really have to call out the speaker, [9:57] Mike Johnson, who calls himself a Christian. I don't know how he can stand by those words. [10:02] That's what was so offensive to me. Any, any Christian serving in Congress or serving in the [10:08] Senate and serving in the administration really needs to take pause and ask themselves as a [10:14] Christian, do you really support the president calling for the annihilation, calling to wipe out [10:20] an entire civilization of people? And I don't think you should, because that's not what Jesus said. [10:26] And that's not what Christianity is all about. And so I, I think that, yeah, I would, I'm probably one [10:32] of the few, it was me, um, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and a few others that are willing to call it out [10:38] and, and speak out against us because we're willing to be honest. It's not about aligning ourselves with [10:45] right or left or Democrat or Republican. It's, it's, it's about being honest. [10:49] . [10:56] . [10:58] . [11:00] . [11:00] .
