2:30Ben Meiselas:Marjorie Taylor Greene is sticking that dagger into Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson. She's saying that the dam has opened and that a full-on revolt in the Republican Party is taking place. She's essentially saying that MAGA is dead and she's saying it on CNN. And she's saying now, because she's talking about affordability and CNN is as well, state regime media, which calls itself Fox, they want to pretend that they're talking about affordability. And Marjorie Taylor Greene says that this is a disaster for Donald Trump and Mike Johnson and a disaster of their own making. And she says, just watch what's going to happen As you screw over the American people and take away their health care, the American people are going to screw you out of jobs because what you've done is absolutely unforgivable.

3:28Ben Meiselas:Let's take a look at what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying. She says the dam is breaking. And what she points to is a vote that we covered here on the Midas Touch Network that's not getting enough attention. There was another discharge petition that was pushed through the House of Representatives in addition to the Epstein discharge petition. And this one, 13 Republicans joined forces with the Democrats in order to ensure that there would be fair labor rights and collective bargaining for federal workers. Watch what Marjorie Taylor Greene says. Play this clip. It's clearly also really tragic just for the Reiner family.

4:08Oh, yes. I mean, you have no problem calling out what the president said, but why do you think other Republicans have struggled to do so? I can't comprehend it, but Caitlin, I'd like to point something out. Just last week, and I think the dam is breaking, many Republicans may not have called him out. But last week, 13 Republicans voted with Democrats to overturn one of President Trump's executive orders, which which enabled him to fire federal workers. We also saw Indiana Republicans vote against redistricting. He didn't call any of them traitors and call for primaries against them. But I would like to say that that is a sign where you're seeing Republicans, they're entering the campaign phase for 2026, which is a large signal that lame duck season has begun and that Republicans will go in all in for themselves in order to save their own reelections.

5:04Ben Meiselas:You think the dam is breaking? Then Marjorie Taylor Greene goes after Donald Trump and says, look, you're a billionaire. You brag about how rich you are while the American people are suffering. Have some empathy. She says, Marjorie Taylor Greene says, have some empathy for what the American people are feeling. Let's play this clip. What I would like to see from the president is empathy for Americans. Donald Trump is a billionaire and he's the president of the united states when he looks into a camera and says affordability is a hoax and and just totally tries to make nothing out of inflation he's talking to americans that are suffering and have been suffering for many years now and are having a hard time making ends meet and so that's not the right message to tell americans now before i show you the next one a reminder hit subscribe to the midas touch youtube channel we are on our way to six million subscribers.

5:59Ben Meiselas:And I'm sure, as you know, we're under attack by the Trump regime, by state regime media, which calls itself Fox. So please subscribe if you can. Marjorie Taylor Green then says the midterms, it's going to be an absolute disaster for MAGA Republicans. She goes, they're going to get wiped out. Let's play this clip. Do you think in one year from now, Mike Johnson will be the Speaker of the House? Um, one year from now, um, I think that's hard to say. I think the, the midterms are going to be very hard for Republicans. Um, I'm one of the people that's willing to admit the truth and say, I don't see Republicans winning the midterms right now.

6:40So that doesn't bode well for Mike Johnson.

6:43Ben Meiselas:And then Marjorie Taylor Greene talks about the murder of Rob Reiner and Rob Reiner's wife, Michelle. We know that their son has been under arrest and is being charged. He's a drug, has been addicted to drugs. And this is a tragic, the most tragic situation imaginable inside the family. It's unfathomable. And Donald Trump attacks Rob Reiner, attacks Michelle, attacks the family, spreads lies that it was because of the Rob Reiner didn't like Donald Trump and that that's why this was happening. Anyway, Marjorie Taylor Greene says this is absolutely despicable. Here, play this clip. His supporters, including myself, we didn't appreciate hearing the president who himself was shot.

7:29And after Charlie Kirk's horrific murder, we didn't appreciate, even if you don't agree with Rob Reiner politically, there was no reason for his statement to be the statement that he made. Yeah, when he says, I mean, this was in the immediate aftermath of us finding out about Rob Reiner, and obviously now his son has been taken into custody. You've said that his murder was not about politics or political enemies. The president called him bad for our country and said he was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. I thought that statement was absolutely, completely below the office of the president of the United States, classless, and it was just wrong.

8:12That was a it's a tragic murder. It's a family ripped apart. And from from my understanding, what I've seen on the news, it was drug abuse and mental illness. And many families across America deal with family members that are drug addicts or have mental health issues. And I think the president should have responded with compassion and talked about those issues. He didn't have to make it about politics. And I think that was, it was really below what we expect our president to talk like. Every year around the holidays, I'm trying to find gifts that people actually wear, not something that just sits in a drawer.

8:54And that's why I keep coming back to True Classic. I love True Classic. They started with a pretty simple idea. Make premium, comfortable clothes that actually fit without charging ridiculous designer prices. And clearly they've nailed it. They've sold over 25 million shirts to millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of five-star reviews. But honestly, you don't need the stats once you put one on. I've been wearing True Classic for a while now, and the fit is just right. Tailored where it matters, relaxed where you want it. No stiff fabric, no weird bunching, just clean, comfortable, everyday clothes that make you feel put together without trying too hard.

9:30and that confidence factor, that's the difference. You throw one on and immediately feel better walking out the door. That's also what makes True Classics such an easy holiday gift. It works for everyone, dads, brothers, partners, and now they've got options for women and kids too. Same comfort, same quality, same great fit just for the whole family. You get that polished look, incredible feel, and a price that won't blow up your holiday budget. So skip the overpriced designer stuff this year. Give comfort, give confidence, give True Classic. You can find them at Amazon, Target, Costco, and Sam's Club, or head to trueclassic.com slash Midas to grab the perfect gift for everyone on your list.

10:10That's trueclassic.com slash Midas, M-E-I-D-A-S.

10:15Ben Meiselas:Then Marjorie Taylor Greene says, do not forget about these Epstein files. and she says that the victims, the survivors, have a list of rich and powerful men and they want to release those names. Here play this clip. You mentioned the few places where you've broken with him, including on the Epstein files and having those released. The DOJ deadline is Friday and Susie Wiles was actually pretty critical of the Justice Department's handling of this so far. She said there is no client list and it sure as hell wasn't on Pam Bondi's desk. Why do you think the Attorney General said that it was then?

10:51I'm not sure. I don't have specifics on that, but I've listened to the women themselves. And the women themselves, a smaller portion of them, which is, there's a lot of them. They think there's around 1 ,000 victims. But a smaller portion of these women say that there is a list of men, rich, powerful men, that they were passed around to. Now, that's a list that they have kept to themselves, frankly, because they're terrified. These women don't have money to pay attorneys if they get sued. Every expense comes out of their own pockets. And after death threats that I've received supporting and keeping my name on the discharge petition for the first time, I can understand exactly what they've been intimidated by for so many years.

11:40So as far as what Susie Wiles and Pam Bonney were talking. I can't speak to specifics on that, but I can speak to what the women have told me. Now, while Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying that the dam is opening, let's

11:53Ben Meiselas:take a look at what's happening on Capitol Hill from Katie Tur reports. Let's take a look at this Capitol Hill reporter here. Play this clip. Well, there's a lot of news and I'll tell you right now, Katie, there's something else that's going on right now at this moment. Republicans, House Republicans are on the floor about to lose another vote, a key vote that would allow them to bring a series of bills to the floor of limited interest, Katie, to most people on planet Earth. But of intense interest to me, they are losing a bill that would allow that would allow them to bring up a permitting reform bill.

12:26This House Republican conference, Katie, is just an unmitigated disaster. I mean, it's just and we see right here, 206 to 210, six Republicans voting against the resolution. They cannot get anything done on health care. They have a bill on the floor this week that's just a bunch of warmed over Republican health care policies that they've already passed this Congress. Moderate Republicans, the majority makers, Katie, the people that made Mike Johnson the speaker and before that, Kevin McCarthy, the speaker. They want to vote on extending these premium subsidies for Obamacare, the same thing we've been now talking about for five or six months.

13:01They are the speaker is not allowing that to happen in short. He wants them offset with other budget cuts. He has concerns about pro-life provisions in these subsidies. And and the moderates are just furious with him. But, Katie, the entire conference is getting pretty tired of this. I mean, ever since the shutdown, they have not. And frankly, ever since July, they've not been able to get their act together. And we're seeing that again right now. It's just a completely unmitigated disaster for Speaker Mike Johnson at this moment.

13:36Ben Meiselas:Unmitigated disaster, strong word. Now, let's also talk about some of the maneuverings on the Hill. Shout out, by the way, to Punchbowl News. They do great work. I mean, they're first rate when it comes to reporting on what's happening at Capitol Hill. They definitely deserve a shout out. Laura Weiss also reports, Representative Broshnahan tells me that he is not ruling out signing the Democrat discharge petition for a three-year clean Affordable Care Act credit extension and is watching how the rules play out. Brejnahan says he just discussed the option on the floor with Fitzpatrick and Lawler.

14:13Ben Meiselas:We'll regroup, we'll re-huddle, and we'll see what options we have available. So essentially, just so you understand what's happening is, MAGA Mike Johnson is telling all these so-called moderate Republicans that he will not agree to an extension of any of the Affordable Care Act or the Obamacare subsidies. And he says, look, you heard the other reporter talking about it. It's like this hodgepodge health care bill that MAGA Republicans want to put through has nothing to do with the subsidies. It has all this stuff about limiting women's reproductive rights. It didn't even go through a markup process.

14:53Ben Meiselas:This thing has just been rushed through so Republicans can say we have something on health care, but it hasn't addressed the fundamental issue, the costs, the costs. Mike Lawler, MAGA Republican Congress member from New York 17th, he stood up in a meeting, a House meeting, and he said it's political malpractice for us not to be voting on the Affordable Care Act right now, he says, and the subsidies because we need the subsidies. That's what MAGA is saying. Here's what MAGA Mike said in response. Let's play it. Well, Mike Lawler is a very dear friend and close colleague of mine. Ironically, weekend before last, I was in New York in his district on Long Island, and we were campaigning together ensuring that he gets reelected.

15:38Mike Lawler fights hard for New York, as every Republican in this conference does for their districts. The districts are different. They have different priorities and ideas. But we do have there's about a dozen members in the conference that are in the swing districts who are fighting hard to make sure that they reduce costs for all of their constituents. And many of them did want to vote on this Obamacare, you know, COVID era subsidy the Democrats created. We looked for a way to try to allow for that pressure release valve, and it just was not to be. We worked on it all the way through the weekend, in fact.

16:11And in the end, there was not an agreement wasn't made. Now, everybody was at the table in good faith. And I certainly appreciate the views and the opinions of every member of this conference. But I will tell you one thing they will all join in unity on is voting for this bill that we've been discussing this morning.
