Speaker 1: Look, it's really fair to say that Trump's polling numbers
they're not great heading into the midterms.
Speaker 2: Is here.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're really kind of terrible. But the only thing,
the one thing that could actually make it worse, is
a Maga civil war. And almost daily we see Trump
post tons of statements on truth social endorsing various different
MAGA candidates across the country. I mean, for God's sakes,
yesterday he even started posting graphics showing how candidates improve
once they of course become endorsed by him. And despite
the positive narrative that he spins on social media, let
me be crystal clear, all right, his cabinet, they realize
the danger that they are in. In fact, last night
it was reported that there was an all hands meeting
to actually discuss the upcoming midterms. Let me show you
in it. It turns around and it says top Trump
political advisors Tony Fabrizio, Chris la Sevida, and Tim Sailor
and Richard Walters also in attendance. Fabrizio did a polling
presentation and this, of course is from Alex Eisenstadt per
source familiar White House Chief of staff Suzi wils and
Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair are at Capitol Hill
Club for a meeting with most of the White House
Cabinet to discuss DAMDA DA DAM YEP mid term strategy.
It further goes on to say, in all hands meeting
tonight on Capitol Hill, Trump's political team is encouraging his
cabinet to visit competitive twenty twenty six midterm districts and
highlight affordability issues and administration's work on prescription drug prices
ahead of midterms. People familiar say, now, let's also understand
those are not winning issues for the Republican Party right now. Now,
you know, just yesterday I myself got my prescription medication
filled and guess what it was as expensive as it
was one month ago, three months ago, nine months ago,
and a year ago. That's possibly not the right issue
to be talking about. Now. Look, while we don't know
what's happening behind closed doors, he does seem to have
confidence in his candidates. Let me show you what he
said on Air Force one regarding the race specifically in Georgia.
Play the clip. Tell us about your trip to Rope,
George on Thursday, Your trip to Marjorie Taylor greens Old District.
Speaker 2: Well, we have a lot of people that want to
take Marjorie Trader Green's place, and many many candidates, and
I have to choose one, and they say, whoever I
endorse is going to win. But we have a lot
of good candidates want to take our place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be very clear about this one. That's
actually not true. You may have a lot of candidates,
but not necessarily who you endorse is going to be
the winner. I actually think Marjorie Taylor Green remains incredibly
popular even in that Rome, Georgia location. Now, one thing
we also know is that Marjorie Taylor Green, well she's
certainly been a target of Trump's now for the past
few months. But just wait till you hear what she's saying. Now,
Welcome back to The Michael Cone Show on our continued
journey to a million subscribers. Want to come to a
place that has facts, no spin, knowing nuendo, to simply
facts right here, And on top of that, if you
want to listen to my Political Beatdown and my Maya
Kulpa podcasts, right the shows are currently now available right
here on my YouTube channel, at The Michael Cone Show
or wherever you listen to podcasts. Let's get back to girl.
Marjorie Trader Green. Marjorie Taylor Green has become obviously a
truly outspoken critic of Trump. I never thought in my lifetime,
I was going to see this, to be very honest
with you, I mean, this is I don't know, deja
vu in some respect. She's become a completely outspoken critic
of Trump, and yesterday she unloaded upon him and his
administration as well. After hearing about the all hands meeting.
Buckle up for this one. Let me show you what
it was said in it. It turns around and it
says the White House and Republicans a meeting trying to
figure out messaging going into midterms and State of the
Union next week. If you had put America first from
the start instead of your rich donor class and foreign policy,
you wouldn't have to strategize on how to guess light Americans.
If you had not called the Epstein files a hoax
and treated the Epstein survivors rape and trafficking victims like
they didn't exist, and if you you would release all
the files and put your rich, powerful friends in prison,
then Americans might actually listen to your messaging. Since you
all are on these struggle bus I'll give you an
America First tip that you all don't know about and
are continuing to ignore, especially since the President is coming
to my former district on Thursday. Approximately seventy five thousand
households in my former district had their health insurance double
or more on January first of this year because the
ACA tax credits expired and Republicans have absolutely failed to
fix our health insurance system that was destroyed by Obamacare.
Seventy five thousand households equals hundreds of thousands of people
in Northwest Georgia whose health insurance double literally last month.
Many dropped their policies and no longer have health insurance.
And that's on top of everyone else who complain things
daily about the absurdly high cost of health insurance. It
affects everyone except the billionaires running the White House and
Administration and Congress, whom all had a very nice, affordable
government health insurance plans. And no Trump RX doesn't fix this,
So that's not your messaging answer. Further, she goes on
to say, and yet another, I'm talking about younger, healthier
people and families not on meds. Who can't afford to
pay fifteen hundred to more than two thousand dollars per
month just for their monthly health insurance premiums. That's not
including seven to ten thousand dollars for a deductible before
the ridiculously expensive health insurance policy kicks in. A truth
social post or Trump video isn't fixing this time. Speaker
Johnson claimed he had the Republican plan during the eight
week shutdown in the fall, then carried on and has
done nothing, proving he lied once again. And don't go
on Fox News crying about the filibuster. Everyone knows it's
a stupid self imposed rule that is absolute bullshit. To
send it only upholds the filibuster to keep the uniparty
in power and to protect the big powerful industries who
paid the lobbyists and fill everyone's campaign coffers. Messaging won't
fix this. Delivering America first results for regular Americans is
your only chance, and going into another foreign war like
the Iran makes it all worse. Only people, mostly boomers,
spoon feeding Fox News propaganda will cheer that on and
release all the Epstein falls and stop protecting Petos. You
ruined everything by covering up for them and stop the bullying, harassment,
name calling. It's immature, childish and turning so many people away.
Real leaders don't act this way, and it's a horrible
example set on the world stage. This isn't the behavior
we want to teach our children. America would be better
off if our government just did its job and was
seen as not heard. Everyone is sick of politics contaminating
and ruining everything. Life needs to be enjoyed without political
domination and fighting. It's exhausting. And finally she says this,
there is one thing I know about GA fourteen. That's
the district. These people will elect their representative on their
own and most of them hate the government anyways, because
the government has caused most of their problems with decades
of pitiful America last selfish decisions. And you call me
all the petty names you want. I don't worship a man.
I'm not in a cult, and I refuse to fight
for a team that refuses to win. Jesus is my savior,
and I know that he has already finished it, and
I'm so good with that. And all of this garbage
and it's fake anyways. Bottom line, deliver real results for
the regular American people, because respect it's earned, not given. Now,
let me be crystal clear about something. That's an obviously
extremely long statement by Marjorie Taylor Green. And while that
was obviously an intense rebuke of the Trump administration, that
isn't the only infighting that's happening. Oh hell no, you see.
Marjorie Taylor Green then responded to the clip that I
showed you earlier of Trump calling her a trader. Let
me show you what she says about this as well.
In it, former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor said, him calling me
that has become a badge of honor because I'm not
in his cult. I refuse to bow to his demands
to cover up the Epstein files to protect his friends,
and I stopped fighting the hardest for a team that
intention refuses to win. Now here's the big problem. You're
not just fighting one person, Marge. You're fighting an entire
social media ecosystem of individuals that will go to the
nth degree to protect him, to fight for him, to
win for him. One such person, Laura Lumer Well, she
also then decided to chime in. Let me show you
what she said in it. She turns around and says,
as I said before, expect to see Marjorie Trader Green
do nothing but attack President Trump all throughout twenty twenty six.
She wants the GOP to lose the midterms. Let me
be crystal clear that one post from Laura Lumer got
probably a million a million views. Again, as an ecosystem
inside that that GOP bass they dominate. When you start
to see things like on television, Oh, you know that
thirty eight percent of the country say agree with something
that sixty two percent of America find unfavorable. That thirty
eight percent is right there on what you saw in
that Laura Lumor post and others. Now, Marjorie Taylor Green's
had enough of Laura Lumer and decided that she was
going to do what Marjorie Taylor Green does best, attack
her back. Let me show you what. She then responded,
I have to admit I was wrong when I warned
Trump and his senior staff to stay away from Laura Lumer.
Her divisiveness, loyalty tests, temper tantrums, Israel First agenda, and
her manufactured bullshit she calls lumored have all been great
for the party and the president. Laura is a two
time congressional candidate loser who has been seriously underestimated. Please
make her chair of the RNC. Wait, that's not enough,
make her White House chief of staff. How dare President
Trump not reward his most loyal worshiper, literally the self
appointed high priestess of Maga orm IgA or whatever this
thing has mutated into. I can't believe they haven't even
given Laura the most simple and basic of all things,
white House press credentials. This is an outrage. So clearly,
what do we see. We turn around and we see
here comes the digs, Here comes the digs. And what
are they going to do? As I said at the
beginning of this episode, not just fracture this MAGA movement
to smash it to pieces. Now, let me be clear
about something. Marjorie Taylor Green's deviation from MAGA it started
literally because of the DOJ's mishandling of the Epstein files.
Her every day in front of the camera, in front
of the Capitol, steps with survivors, with victims, with lawyers,
with everybody. I want to circle back to how I
started this video. The polls revealing that Trump's failures are
actually multiplying. They're even probably greater today than they were yesterday.
Let me show you what it says. In it, it
says from November third, twenty twenty four to February second
of twenty twenty six, Trump's approval rating amongst women swung
net minus nineteen percent. Women the ages eighteen through twenty
nine who care a great deal about how the Epstein
file situation was handled, displayed the largest net swing at
negative thirty eight point two percent. It's worse today too,
Stay tuned. That's not that's not just negative, that's catastrophic.
And finally, I do want to end on one last
I don't know, let's just call it snarky post from
Marjorie Taylor Green calling MAGA brainwashed. We show you what
it says, and then they intentionally post Q nods and
laugh about how MAGA eats it up. Wake up, you've
been brainwashed. That, of course, is in response to I
keep hearing people say how tone def Trump is to
the whole Epstein issue and that he doesn't seem to
grasp the anger of his base. Let me be clear
about something. Marjorie Taylor Green is not somebody who I
thought would be as damaging to this Trump administration to
the midterm elections as she has become Marjorie Taylor Green,
if she continues to do this, and I'm all for it,
by the way, maybe Crystal Clear, let the civil in fight.
And we have enough civil in fighting in the Democratic
Party too. It's not that there's nobody doing it. Oh,
it happens too, even right here, right on these social
media ecosystems. There's in fighting everywhere. But Marjorie Taylor Green,
she's packing a real punch because she's attaching herself to
the mishandling of the Epstein file and that it's not
going unnoticed, and that is going to be the reason
the midterms, the House and most probably now the Senate
turned Democrat. And as always, thanks for listening. Hey everyone,
