The View Full Broadcast – July 7, 2026

[0:03] left out fellow Democrats call on Senate candidate Graham Plattner to drop out of a clutch race that could flip the Senate blue over a shocking new allegation against him that he's denying. Did Graham Plattner rape you? By definition yes. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false. As the pressure mounts for Plattner to step aside will the party's power play come at a price? I would really call Bernie Sanders [0:35] to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone he helped him elect. Foul play? The U.S. is knocked out of the World Cup days after the president's controversial intervention to lift a player's suspension. That wasn't a foul. How Belgium trolled Trump during their victory lap. Then former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is back at the table to talk about how she says President Trump keeps breaking his promise to put American [1:05] America first. Why she wants to form a new political party and who she thinks will be MAGA's presidential candidate in 2028. Here come hot topics with Whoopi, Sarah Haynes, Joy Behar, Anna Navarro, Sonny Hauston, and Alyssa Farah Griffin. Now let's get things started. [1:30] Is there ash? Is there ash on you? I'm very ashy. I'm very ashy. The volcano finally let me leave because she decided she was not putting up with anything. [2:31] Look at that. Oh my God. And she just, she snapped. And now we're on the, we are on the plane. [2:38] We have no idea this is happening. And the pilot, we hear the engine turn off. [2:43] And he says, you know, if you look out the right side. No, no, no. Oh my God. You'll see that Mount Etna has just erupted. [2:56] And I'm like, did he just say Mount Etna just blew her top? [3:03] Yeah. Because I'm thinking to me, if you had just put your foot on the accelerator and not told us till we got up above it, we'd be home by now. [3:16] Why didn't he do that? [3:17] Because he, because in actuality, they would not have been able to go. You cannot fly through that stuff. You cannot fly through that ash. [3:25] No, you can't, you know, when you've just been, uh, when they put the fuel in, you are extra heavy. [3:32] So you can only take off on certain runways. You can, and so there's a whole, with all this flying stuff, I've learned a lot of stuff. [3:41] But this thing, you could not have gone around it. You could not have gone up it. And it, it spread. [3:50] So it's not that whatever's coming out here, it's what's happening up in the atmosphere. And you know, it's sand. So it can really, yeah. [3:58] That all that stuff that's coming. No, no. It's, it's actually sand. [4:02] You know, I was there one time. We drove up to Mount Etna. [4:04] Yeah. Steve lost his eyesight. I said, on my vacation. But anyway, we're on the way up to the top of Mount Etna. [4:12] Yes. Yes. [4:12] And he did. He couldn't see. I don't know what that is. The atmosphere. And there are people living right around that volcano. [4:19] No. On all of them. [4:20] Now what happens to those people? [4:23] Well, they are away. I mean, Mount Etna is the, one of the volcanoes that they actually know what's going on with her. [4:29] They're, they're in there. They know what's happening. So they can sort of help people do what they need to do. [4:34] Oh. But this sort of felt like she, she, she farted basically. [4:40] Yeah. Yeah. [4:42] You know, and it, and it just kind of went, and it went this way and that way. [4:47] And so it, we'll be in the farting volcano. [4:50] Yes. [4:51] My new children's book. [4:53] My new children's book. [4:55] But I, I will say, and I feel terrible because none of the airports are open now either. [5:02] Oh. [5:02] So people who were supposed to leave two days ago still have not been, because all the airports are still closed. [5:10] So how did you get out? [5:11] We got out because we, I got a plane. [5:16] Oh. [5:17] She's got a guy. [5:18] Because she's. [5:18] I have a guy. [5:19] She's got the juice. [5:20] And I, and we had to wait, because the, the window for us to be able to leave was 17 minutes. [5:27] Oh, wow. [5:28] What was that? [5:29] Oh, that's terrifying. [5:29] 17 minutes. [5:31] We had 17, they said between 11 and 11, 17. [5:35] If you are not, you can't do it at 11, 18. [5:39] You can't do it before. [5:40] This is the window you have. [5:42] And we were like, okay, because we grabbed a couple of other people and said, we're going to try to get a plane. [5:48] They said, we'll, we'll help. [5:49] We'll have pay for it, whatever, because they need to get home to their kids. [5:51] Yeah. [5:52] And so we did it. [5:54] And, you know, God bless Salvo, who really, this is what he does is in emergencies. [6:01] Yeah. [6:02] They were remarkable. [6:03] Wow. [6:03] Remarkable. [6:04] And, and I have to tell you, you know, and I feel so bad because yesterday I was supposed to do Good Morning America. [6:09] Yeah. [6:09] To talk about the opening of the Whoopi Chronicles. [6:12] Yeah. [6:13] Which is coming up. [6:14] Um, so hopefully this week, uh, Brian, you'll let me do a, a whole thing about it again. [6:20] Yeah. [6:20] Just to, because. [6:21] Whoopi monologue. [6:22] Monologues. [6:23] To me, they're chronicles. [6:24] To them, they're monologues. [6:24] Yeah. [6:25] But it's. [6:26] And I just was told that some, a few airports were open this morning. [6:29] So hopefully there'll be a couple of people that get out. [6:31] And that's all, that's all over Sicily. [6:34] That's not just one area. [6:35] It's all over Sicily. [6:36] And Etna, when she's pissed. [6:38] Yeah. [6:39] Yeah. [6:40] Or gassy. [6:41] Or gassy. [6:42] Which brings on the first one. [6:45] Anyway, you know, enough about me. [6:47] This is what's been going on apparently since I, since I've been gone. [6:51] Calls are growing louder for Democratic Maine Senator, Senatorial Candidate Graham Plattner [6:58] to drop out of the race. [7:00] After a woman has come forward with disturbing allegations against him, which he denies. [7:06] Take a look. [7:06] I apologize. [7:07] I apologize. [7:09] Let me be as direct as I can. [7:13] Did Graham Plattner rape you? [7:16] By definition, yes. [7:19] Absolutely. [7:21] Because he had non-consensual sex with you. [7:24] Yeah. [7:26] Forced himself on you. [7:27] After you had told him no and fought him off. [7:30] Yeah. [7:31] He violated multiple layers of consent that night by coming into my home when I asked him [7:37] not to and by advancing on me when I told him not to. [7:43] I don't think I was safe to physically fight back. [7:47] He's big. [7:48] He's strong. [7:49] And I just had to evaluate my safety and come up with the least worst outcome to the situation. [7:59] I wanted to directly address the troubling, serious and false allegations against me. [8:05] Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false. [8:11] Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful the political reality it will inflict, [8:16] we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, [8:21] the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins. [8:27] Those were the goals when we launched this campaign. [8:30] And they remain my goals today. [8:32] Now, ABC News has not confirmed the contents of the political story. [8:38] And Plattner vigorously, as you saw, denies the allegations. [8:41] But he adds that he's taking time to reflect the best path forward. [8:47] Now, we're going to take a quick break. [8:49] Is that right, Brian? [8:50] And come back and we'll talk about everything we've seen. [8:53] We'll be right back. [8:54] We were just talking about the new allegations against Maine's senatorial candidate, [9:12] Graham Plattner. [9:13] And both sides of the aisle are pointing fingers on who's to blame for supporting him. [9:17] Take a look. [9:19] I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone he helped him elect. [9:29] Even those Pod Save America people that pushed that dirtbag, you know, and they dismissed those things in the New York Times article. [9:37] Maybe they ought to apologize to the women that clearly they didn't believe or they dismissed that. [9:43] The one thing I know about Republicans, when we had a very bad candidate and found out, we didn't vote for that person. [9:48] Right. [9:49] We walked away. [9:50] For better or for worse. [9:51] When Matt Gaetz came forward. [9:52] Yeah. [9:53] We got rid of him. [9:58] Yeah. [10:01] I was going to say we should play it again, but you heard it. [10:06] Anybody. [10:08] The table's open. [10:09] I do want to get in here because this is a really serious issue, as funny as that Kevin McCarthy clip was. [10:13] But these are damning allegations. [10:15] They are credible. [10:16] They are corroborated. [10:17] They are horrific. [10:18] This woman is incredibly brave for coming forward. [10:20] But my issue is this. [10:21] I mean, Graham Plattner should drop out, but I thought he should have dropped out at the Nazi tattoo. [10:25] I think he should have dropped out at defaming Purple Heart recipients. [10:28] Right. [10:29] And a fallen navy seal. [10:30] Homophobic slurs. [10:31] Bigoted posts in the past. [10:32] Even previously slandering sexual assault victims. [10:35] And there was another accuser who came out, who I've known for over 15 years, who accused him of what I would characterize as domestic violence when they had dated. [10:44] And that wasn't enough. [10:45] And many people dismissed her claims because she had worked for Republicans in the past. [10:49] And they didn't take them seriously. [10:51] Domestic violence should be an absolute no. [10:54] All of that's true, but I don't want to hear from the Epstein Protector Party, okay? [10:59] Yeah. [11:00] No, because... [11:01] But then it becomes a race to the bottom. [11:02] Yeah. [11:03] And you know the saying we like to use here, Maya Angelou, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. [11:09] And it takes a tremendous courage for sexual assault victims to speak of what's been done to them, and especially in such a public way. [11:16] So I'm glad people have gotten to the point for their off-rent. [11:19] But like Alyssa, I was off Plattner a long time ago due to so many problematic things you just named as well. [11:25] But it is a disgusting time in politics where we decide what we're willing to morally accept based on the jersey you're wearing. [11:32] And if you are one of those people that was willing to plug your nose, you're the problem. [11:37] Well, then I'm the problem. [11:39] Because I was one of those people, and I said it, if I lived in Maine, I would have, you know, plugged my nose and I would have voted for him anyway. [11:46] I think that we are in a time of existential crisis in this country. [11:50] I think Republicans fall in line. [11:52] They don't fall in love. [11:53] Democrats want to fall in love and not fall in line. [11:57] You know, the Republican Party, the bar is so very low, I can't believe, I cannot believe that they want to try to assume the moral high ground on the Republican Party. [12:08] Right. [12:09] I mean, you know, you can miss me with all that, especially when you have Pete Hegseth, who was confirmed by the Senate in 2025 as the head, as a cabinet member, as the defense secretary, [12:22] when he had one drinking allegations, his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law submitted a sworn affidavit describing his drinking problem. [12:32] And in order to get confirmed, he pledged that he wouldn't drink on the job. [12:35] Number two, he had a tattoo controversy. [12:38] Not one, but two tattoo controversies. [12:41] One was a deus vault tattoo, which is used by white nationalist groups. [12:46] Two, he has a Jerusalem cross tattoo, which has been interpreted as an extremist symbol. [12:53] And finally, in 2017, a woman claimed he had sexually assaulted her after a conference. [12:59] She reported that assault immediately. [13:01] She had a sexual assault examination. [13:03] And in 2020, and he says it was a consensual encounter, and in 2020, he paid her $50,000 to settle the claim. [13:11] Yet, yet... [13:12] Why not condemn them all? [13:13] Because I condemn them all. [13:14] Well, but the Republicans didn't do that. [13:15] The Republicans confirmed him, and he is... [13:18] Well, I'm a Republican right here condemning anyone who's been credibly accused of sexual abuse. [13:22] I'm talking about the Republican Party as a whole. [13:25] So would you be comfortable... [13:26] They are the Epstein file protection party, and they don't... [13:30] You'd be comfortable still voting for Grant Plattner if you lived in Maine? [13:33] Can I just say one thing about this? [13:34] Yes, please do. [13:35] I really think that this is good timing for the Democrats, because... [13:39] Yes. [13:41] Susan Collins and this Plattner person who should have been thrown out with the Nazi tattoo [13:44] and what have you. [13:45] Agreed. [13:46] We all agree on that. [13:47] But they were neck and neck, basically. [13:48] So if they put... [13:49] He was actually leading her. [13:50] If they put a... [13:51] A... [13:52] What should we call it? [13:53] A reasonable, not offensive, not assaulting, not a Nazi... [13:57] Scandal free... [13:58] In all the state of Maine, they can't find somebody who hasn't been accused of sexual assault. [14:02] They do. [14:03] They have someone named Troy Jackson. [14:04] And can I just say further that the Democrats really needed to step up a little bit before this [14:09] happened? [14:10] Yeah. [14:11] Thinking maybe Plattner would be tainted and have to get thrown out. [14:13] So who do you have in place? [14:14] I see them in disarray. [14:15] A month ago, I said on the show, Jared Golden, who won in a competitive Maine district. [14:19] He actually worked for Susan Collins, is now a Democrat, is a veteran. [14:22] He's somebody who could... [14:24] This other individual you mentioned has allegations against him as well. [14:27] Step up. [14:28] So we need men, whether it's Eric Swalwell, whether it's Matt... [14:30] How about a woman? [14:31] Get a woman in there. [14:32] Get a woman in there. [14:33] Yeah, get a woman in there. [14:34] Yeah, get a woman in there. [14:37] He was not credibly accused of sexual abuse. [14:40] They should... [14:41] I think he should step down at this point. [14:43] I think there's no question about that. [14:44] He has until, I believe, July 13. [14:47] Then by July 27... [14:48] Her timing was actually pretty good. [14:50] Yes. [14:51] Because it's before the deadline. [14:52] And by July 27, the Democratic Party in Maine can nominate someone else. [14:57] I think Troy Jackson is more progressive, and he has sort of a platform that's more in line with Plattners, [15:03] which apparently the Maine voter is more attracted to. [15:06] There are a couple of other people that they can put up. [15:09] But the bottom line is Democrats need four seats. [15:12] Fifty-four percent of this country said that they want the Democrats to lead the Senate. [15:17] And I think we are in this existential crisis, and we need... [15:21] We have to have a baseline standard we can all agree on that doesn't wear a jersey that says, [15:25] you have to be a certain type of human to lead us. [15:28] And we cannot keep voting for that. [15:30] Yeah. [15:31] It would be great if we could make that the criteria. [15:38] Unfortunately, we are stuck in the middle of a poop hole. [15:42] Yeah. [15:43] And poop's fallen upwards. [15:46] It's fallen sideways. [15:47] Well, it stinks from the head. [15:49] It's fallen out of volcanoes. [15:51] It's coming from the volcano. [15:53] But the thing that I will say, as I've been saying the last few weeks, is do your homework. [16:01] You know, the vetting process seems to have been, I don't know, thrown to the wayside, [16:08] I suppose because so many people were so overwhelmed by what we ended up with, [16:14] that people just stopped saying they cared. [16:16] But you need to care. [16:17] Oh. [16:18] You need to care who you're bringing in. [16:20] Trump. [16:21] Trump. [16:22] Trump. [16:23] Trump. [16:24] I'm not saying anybody's name. [16:25] You won't say his name, but we will. [16:26] I'm not going to say his name. [16:27] He knows who he is. [16:28] Yes. [16:29] It stinks from the head, right? [16:30] It stinks from the top. [16:31] Well, it no longer. [16:32] It stinks from all sides. [16:35] And part of that is because we, the people who have these votes, must get out and say, [16:42] enough. [16:43] Enough, enough, enough. [16:45] Whether you're a Republican, or whether you're an Independent, whether you're a Democrat, [16:51] it doesn't matter. [16:53] It is up to us to say, this is no longer acceptable. [16:58] Because this is what your kids are seeing. [17:00] This is what your grandkids are seeing. [17:02] They're seeing that lying means winning. [17:07] These are the things that are our responsibilities, and we better take this seriously, [17:12] or we're going to be right back where we started. [17:14] We'll be right back. [17:15] Here's more proof that politics makes for strange bedfellows. [17:32] Please welcome back to The View former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. [17:37] Joy, you have the first question, I think. [17:51] I do. [17:53] Okay. [17:54] Here it is. [17:55] So while many Americans are struggling to afford groceries and gas, as we all know, [17:59] the White House spent time this weekend posting about Taylor Swift on her wedding [18:03] and throwing a great American state fair that, shall we say, underperformed? [18:08] Would that be accurate? [18:10] Yes. [18:11] Maybe it was the weather. [18:12] You know, her basement flooded. [18:13] All sorts of things happened. [18:14] Oh, gosh. [18:15] So what do you... [18:16] I want to know what you think about all this. [18:17] And spending time on Taylor Swift when people need help. [18:21] Well, first of all, congratulations to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. [18:26] I thought it was fantastic, and I think it's absolutely absurd for the 80-year-old president of the United States to attack one of the most popular musicians and talented women who's so generous to her staff and takes care of them. [18:40] But he thinks he's more popular than her. [18:42] Didn't he say that this weekend? [18:43] Yeah, something like that. [18:44] Yeah, I think that's why he's always picking on her, because he would like to be. [18:47] But let's talk about her. [18:48] The green-eyed monster. [18:49] Well, and her concerts turn out a massive amount of people a lot more than, tragically, the state fair. [18:55] And I think that says a lot, because, you know, the whole deal that I campaigned for and... [19:01] Who's that? [19:02] Well, that's just me, guys. [19:03] Oh, my gosh. [19:04] But really, I campaigned in 2024 to lower inflation, lower gas prices, and really make life great for Americans. [19:14] And that's what it was supposed to be about. [19:16] I know, but more people signed up for dentistry than were there. [19:19] Well, Congresswoman, since you were last here, you've talked about... [19:22] You've toyed with the idea of starting a third party. [19:25] Tucker Carlson has also said that that might be something that needs to happen. [19:28] Because, as you put it, you feel like America First has, in some ways, been abandoned by this president. [19:33] What would this third party look like? [19:36] And would it be to the right of where Donald Trump is governing the country right now? [19:42] Actually, I think the future of America and most Americans are very much angry with both parties. [19:49] And let's look at the Republican and Democrat establishment, basically the Mitch McConnells, the Chuck Schumers. [19:55] All of these that have been in power for decades have brought us to $40 trillion in debt. [20:01] Americans pay a massive amount of taxes, but yet our dollar has lost so much value. [20:07] In 2020, $100 was today, $100 today. Back then was $186. And so the future, I think, for a third party or candidates that don't belong in the two silos of Republican and Democrats are going to be candidates that work for the best interests of Americans. [20:30] But Trump's the one who keeps making money. [20:32] Oh, he's making money, all right. [20:34] A lot of money. A couple billion dollars since he's in office. What do you make of that? [20:38] Well, you know, I was one of the loudest voices attacking Hunter Biden for what I perceived to be corruption while his father was president. [20:47] But I was really blown away. Most people are blown away. Even Fox News had something to say about it. [20:52] Really? Wow. [20:53] And that's pretty shocking. [20:54] Yeah. [20:55] You know, I think this is why Americans are really sick and tired of both parties. We've just seen it over and over and over again. [21:02] You keep saying both parties. Hunter wasn't in office. Why do you keep saying both parties? We're talking about Trump. [21:07] Well, his father was in office. His father was president. And Hunter Biden did make a lot of money while his father was president. [21:15] Yeah, but these two Trump children have made a lot more money than Hunter Biden. [21:21] Let me get Sarah in here. [21:23] Bigger and better than ever before, right? [21:25] Let me get Sarah in here. [21:26] But no, it's just wrong. [21:27] Congresswoman, we were talking before you came out about Graham Plattner and the very serious allegation that he sexually assaulted a woman back in 2021, an allegation he denies. [21:37] More and more prominent Democrats are calling on him to end his campaign. Should he? [21:43] You know, I don't know anything about his policies. I just started learning about him yesterday when I saw this blow up. [21:49] However, I do know what establishment political hit jobs look like. And I really wish women, when a woman is raped, it's extremely serious. [21:59] And I stand behind women that are raped. I ended my political career on that, by the way. [22:03] You did. [22:04] And I wish women would come forward. The most important thing a woman can do is come forward and report a rape, not report it years later when someone is running for office. [22:15] You know that does mostly happen in sexual assault because it's very difficult for the victims to come forward. [22:20] Oh, of course. I have so much. [22:21] One of the most under-reported crimes. [22:22] Yes. [22:23] That's also the U.S. teen file victims were also years later as well. [22:26] No, many of them were early on, which is why it's so egregious. [22:29] Some were. [22:30] So egregious. [22:31] And none of them have ever gotten justice. [22:33] But I will say this, you know, Democrat voters in Maine voted for Graham Plattner, knowing he had this Nazi tattoo, knowing that he had scandals, not this scandal. [22:46] So he did win his primary. And I think the Maine voters should be able to work that out. I really do. [22:53] Did they do that, though, because they need to get back in power, the Democrats, so that they can deal with this right-wing craziness that's going on? [23:00] I don't know. I'm not a Plattner supporter. I'm not in Maine. [23:04] I'm just saying. [23:05] And I think Susan Collins is a horrible senator. So I want to say that for the record as well. [23:09] Let me ask you this, because yesterday on X, in a now-deleted post, you accused Plattner's accuser of doing, quote, rape for politics, end quote, stating that she had consensual sex with him years ago. [23:22] No, I didn't accuse. I said women should report rape. [23:27] Right, early on. [23:28] Because you want to know why? We want to get these rapists off the street. [23:30] Early on in the tweet, and I'll tell you, I'm a former sex crimes prosecutor. [23:34] Right. [23:35] Yeah, but you're misquoting me. I wish you'd put my, if you put my deleted tweet up. [23:39] I think we have it. [23:40] We have it. [23:42] Put it up, please. [23:45] Oh. [23:46] We'll get it. [23:47] Okay. [23:48] Will they look for it? [23:49] But I just want to make sure my words aren't twisted around. [23:51] We'll get it. Can someone bring my phone out to me? [23:53] You don't have your phone? Since when do you not have your phone? [23:56] Yeah. [23:58] Well, what I recall, because I do have the post, but it has not been deleted, you did say that women should report early. [24:06] And I will tell you as a former sex crimes prosecutor, women, it is the most underreported crime in our country because women are not believed. [24:13] Tragically. [24:14] And because it is very difficult. [24:15] They're defamed often. [24:16] They're defamed. [24:17] And they should be believed. [24:18] And it's very difficult for them to do it. [24:19] Right. [24:20] Also, I will tell you, you also wrote that she had had consensual sex with him years ago. [24:26] She was dating him. [24:27] The fact that someone dates people or has had consensual sex with them previously does not mean that they cannot be raped. [24:35] Married women can be raped. [24:36] Sex workers can be raped. [24:37] Of course. [24:38] And that is often. [24:39] Because I've handled some of those cases. [24:40] You and I are in agreement here. [24:41] Well, we're not. [24:42] I want to know why you would post her, post that and accuse her of rape for politics. [24:47] Well, I would like to know why you wouldn't put up my actual post. [24:51] We're going to do it. [24:52] Okay, great. [24:53] Because I wasn't accusing her. [24:55] Here we go. [24:57] My quote, your exact was, if you were raped or sexually assaulted, report it immediately. [25:02] Yes. [25:03] Don't wait for years later until the man runs for office to go to news outlets to tell your story. [25:07] And if you had consensual sex with him years ago, don't turn it into rape for politics with conflicting stories. [25:13] Is that correct? [25:14] No, those are three separate pieces of it. [25:18] I do want to get to it. [25:19] I do want to get to it. [25:20] That's not all. [25:21] So can you answer my question? [25:22] Why did you post that? [25:23] Absolutely. [25:24] I posted that because I support women who have been raped or sexually assaulted. [25:28] And I want them to have justice. [25:30] But not if they've had consensual sex before. [25:32] No. [25:33] Then secondly, don't wait until they're running for office. [25:36] We need to know early on. [25:37] She was warning the public. [25:38] I was warning the public. [25:40] No, but this woman is warning the public. [25:42] No, I'm saying the public needs to be warned because rapists need to be, they need to be convicted. [25:48] I do want to ask you about it. [25:49] So it's the woman's fault. [25:50] No, it's not the woman's fault. [25:52] Go ahead, Alyssa. [25:53] Not at all. [25:54] Congressman, I want to ask you about another. [25:55] Just like it's not Americans with flags in front of their house's fault and it should [26:00] not be offensive. [26:01] Congressman, I do want to ask you about another post that you tweeted yesterday that you kept [26:05] up. [26:06] You seem to imply that AIPAC might be involved with the latest allegations of sexual assault [26:10] by Graham Plattner. [26:11] Totally AIPAC. [26:12] Well, criticism of AIPAC is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. [26:17] Well, criticism of AIPAC is perfectly legitimate political discourse. [26:20] Do you not understand that this plays into anti-Semitic tropes about Jews controlling things, about [26:26] Jews and money and power and politics? [26:28] What do you even mean by that? [26:29] Well, what I mean by that is it's unfortunate that rich donors that put Israel first are playing [26:38] in American politics. [26:39] Well, AIPAC is American donors, to be clear. [26:42] It's Americans who care about the U.S. [26:44] No, no, no. [26:45] They care about Israel first. [26:46] Israel is committing genocide and murdering children. [26:48] You do know that under federal law, only American citizens can contribute to AIPAC. [26:52] Let me tell you the future of this country is Americans are sick and tired of funding Israel's [26:58] genocidal wars that are killing children in Gaza and Lebanon. [27:01] Millions of Americans, including me, support Israel, for the record. [27:03] That may be your position. [27:04] I don't support the government of Israel. [27:06] I support people. [27:07] And I support Americans, and I support our tax dollars being used for our purposes. [27:12] Do you see how this is... [27:13] However, AIPAC took out one of my good friends, Thomas Massey, okay? [27:18] And Thomas Massey worked for his district. [27:20] Thomas Massey also worked against me. [27:21] AIPAC also worked against me. [27:22] Because Donald Trump endorsed against Thomas Massey, to be clear. [27:24] Thomas Massey lost because Miriam Adelson... [27:25] You're gonna blame AIPAC now? [27:26] Because it feels like blaming the Jews. [27:27] Miriam Adelson put in... [27:28] It feels like you're blaming the Jews. [27:30] No, I'm blaming donors that put Israel first over America. [27:34] I can't get any much done. [27:35] And this is... [27:36] American donors who support Israel. [27:37] We don't... [27:38] We're out of time. [27:39] As much as... [27:40] Y'all should have had me for the whole show. [27:43] No. [27:44] Uh... [27:45] Sorry. [27:47] Yeah. [27:48] Well... [27:49] So, this is one question we must ask you. [27:50] Okay. [27:51] You used to talk to the president often on the phone. [27:53] I take it you don't anymore. [27:54] No. [27:55] If he called, Trump called you today, would you answer the call? [27:59] And what exactly would you say to him? [28:01] Mmm, that's a tough one. [28:04] Um... [28:05] No. [28:06] You wouldn't even answer the phone. [28:08] I have no interest in talking to President Trump. [28:11] And now that you're out of politics, what are you planning to do? [28:13] I'm having a great life. [28:15] Retiring? [28:16] No. [28:17] I do... [28:18] I'm working. [28:19] I do all kinds of stuff. [28:20] I just launched a sort of a podcast called Life with MTG. [28:23] Oh, the old podcast routine. [28:25] Well, look at you. [28:26] We're all in that. [28:27] Yeah. [28:28] You guys talk for a living. [28:29] At least I went and gave it my best try and served in Congress. [28:33] Well, here's the thing. [28:34] We're all giving our best tries. [28:36] Yeah. [28:37] Everybody, everybody, you, us, everybody who's trying to figure out how do I, how do I get [28:43] through this to make sure my family gets what they need. [28:46] So we're all giving it our good college try and thank you for all you've tried to do. [28:51] Thank you all for everything. [28:52] Thank you, Brian, for being a Brian guy. [28:55] And our thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene. [28:59] We'll be right back. [29:00] Last night, Belgium officially put an end to Team USA's World Cup dream. [29:17] Days after you-know-who campaigned to have FIFA overturn the suspension of one of the USA's [29:25] star players. [29:26] Which FIFA president, Gianni Infanto. [29:29] Infantino. [29:30] Infantino. [29:31] Infanto to me. [29:36] He said, that played no role in the decision to lift the suspension after the victory the [29:43] Belgian team celebrated by doing you-know-who's favorite dance. [29:47] Oh, no. [29:49] Oh, no. [29:50] Is the message here stay out of professional sports and perhaps do your job? [30:03] every time he supports a team they lose yeah the knicks remember the knicks that one time he showed [30:09] up they lost they had to sage madison square garden to get that bad juju that he put in [30:14] madison square garden so that the knicks could win it's good for gamblers because you know if he [30:18] pushes the team vote against the opponent well last night the game belgium was the superior team [30:24] last night they played amazing and i was sad to see the usa lose but i wonder if that noise was [30:30] influencing them because even the commentators were saying they came out nervous they played [30:33] tentatively they made a lot of mistakes which allowed belgium to do this but i will say that [30:38] the red card against uh balagon was a was a bad call yes in general and i think what hopefully [30:46] this starts is conversations about changing the fifa rules because the red card can't be contested [30:51] it not only takes you out of that game it takes you out of the next game if you're going to do that [30:55] much to any player there should be some mechanism where coaches can come and other people not [31:01] coaches and uh challenge the ruling maybe they'll do that but this is the first time since 1962 that [31:08] that has been done this is a well-established rule and i don't think the president of the united states [31:13] or any president of any country that is playing in the world cup has any business calling the head [31:18] of fifa and getting involved in that i see it totally differently there is so much to criticize [31:23] trump over but like if georgia maloney called because italy got a bad play call i wouldn't [31:28] criticize her i think you're advocating for your team and your star player to be in the match the [31:32] team played phenomenally until last night you're right all everything you're saying is right it would [31:38] have been right had you know who been doing his job well that because he has not been doing [31:44] probably the bigger issue he has been doing you know he's been doing refurbishing he's been doing [31:50] this yes of course uh the president of a country would say why why do you do this to my guys why do you [31:56] do this but because this one is doing nothing saying nothing it's like why are you here instead of where [32:07] you're supposed to be yeah they're listen win or lose they've done their job they're doing their jobs [32:15] win or lose but you as the person sitting at the top don't have that right if you're not doing your [32:22] job and i think that's what i'm proud of team usa even if we lost we did a great job [32:26] sarah yeah i have something to tell people before we go to break if you're looking to turn back the [32:32] clock this summer we're sharing some anti-aging
