Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on Vance, Gabbard to speak against war

There's so much to talk about tonight with all the developments in Iran. I think first though, on the 13 service members that have now been killed during Operation Epic Fury, I wonder what goes through your mind when you think of those lives that have

been lost already?

Oh, it's absolutely heartbreaking, Kaitlin. I'm a strong supporter of our military and the great men and women who serve. I think they're some of the greatest among us, and their families who are so concerned about them right now. These are 13 lives that I believe should not have been lost. This was, this war is not something that Americans voted for in 2024.

As a matter of fact, we voted for the opposite. We voted for no more foreign wars, no more regime change. And we were told by many members in the administration throughout the campaign, JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and others, that they believed that going to war with Iran would be a terrible idea.

It was something that Charlie Kirk himself had said over and over again. And Donald Trump, President Trump, I voted for him three times, fought for him to become president and I still want him to be successful. But he told Americans for over 10 years and even longer that he thought foreign wars and regime change was really a bad direction for America to go in.

And we trusted and believed him that we wouldn't be doing this. But you know, this was an unprovoked war, and Israel pulled us into it, pulled America into it. And so those are 13 lives that should not have been lost.

Yeah, and of course, you know, when the president was asked about that, he argued that maybe he forced Israel's hand in this matter. But, I mean, you know, now here we are, 13 days in. He's planning on sending more troops to the region, we're told. It's not clear exactly what they'll do while they're there, a Marine group. Is that something you support?

Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, I, like many, millions and millions of Americans are outraged by this. He never came to America and addressed the nation and gave clear reasons why we would go to war with Iran, especially after he told us back in the summer that he had completely obliterated all of their nuclear capabilities and had even chastised

any news organization or media that said otherwise. But here we are in a war with Iran and it doesn't make any sense. And I'll go further with this. Why are we sending thousands of more US military troops? Why are we sending more of our military resources? Why are we pulling military resources away from other sectors of the world where it's

much needed and putting it all there to fight Iran and to have this war in the Middle East? And the reality is there are so many innocent people dying. I mean, the little girls school is such an outrage. It's horrific. And Americans, we don't want to think of our military as being responsible of killing little children.

This is absolutely something that Americans should not tolerate. And we are owed answers. They keep saying that they're investigating. But it is such a serious situation. You know, I drove by an elementary school today and there were children out on the playground swinging on the swings and playing on the playground.

And I thought to myself, I'm so thankful that our children are safe, but I can't imagine living somewhere where school children or people's children have been bombed or killed. And this is something that has so many people outraged because I'll go back, Caitlin, we did not vote for this. We voted for an end to foreign wars and that's exactly what we should be seeing.

On the school, so you don't think that their answers so far have been sufficient on who's responsible for that given the evidence that points to the United States?

You know, I don't want to ever think about our military doing something like that or making that type of mistake or however it happened. But, you know, everyone has seen the video. Everyone has seen the still shot of the Tomahawk missile. So no, I think they need to come out and talk about it. You know, there's so many things that are so concerning about this war, and Americans

have not been given enough answers. Here we are, here's Americans at home right now. We've got families getting ready to go on spring break, and gas prices are skyrocketing. You know, inflation has barely stabilized, and people voted for lower grocery costs. Well, we're going to see costs at the grocery stores going up because diesel is going up and oil is going up because of this war.

We've got 30 percent of the world's fertilizer goes through the strait. That affects our farmers that are struggling already. We voted for to put Americans first. I'm at look. I'm a conservative I'm the America first wing of the Republican Party. That's how I voted. That's what I fight for That's what I want to see happen I want to see Americans put first and we've got the Republicans in Congress right now

They can't even fund homeland security. Our own Border Patrol, ICE, TSA agents and others are not even getting paid. But yet here they are told that they're going to be voting and they'll vote for it. Believe me, they love the war. The neocons love the war. They're going to pass another, a supplemental to fund the war in Iran. What is that going to be?

Fifty billion dollars or more while the war is costing, what is that going to be, $50 billion or more, while the war is costing us approximately $1 billion to $2 billion a day, but yet we're not even funding homeland security and Americans are still struggling? And Kaitlan, I got to tell you, I'm still waiting on Mike Johnson to roll out that Republican health care plan that he boasted and bragged that he was going to have, because Americans can't even afford health insurance right now. Yeah, I think some, you said that this is not what the president's supporters voted

for. I mean, you're someone who campaigned for him endlessly on the campaign trail. You know what those voters wanted. And when you talk about just gas prices, they're up 74 cents almost per gallon in Georgia in the last month. The administration said today they have a plan when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz, which is, you know, basically choked off at this point, which is why those gas prices are so high. We're 13 days in. Do you think that they have a plan? I don't know if they have a plan or not, because they've never made a clear case to the American

people why they are bombing Iran. They've never made a clear case why they are supporting Israel while Israel is bombing Lebanon and while Israel totally grazed Gaza, killing thousands and thousands of people and children. No, I don't think they've made a clear case for this at all. And the reality is, you know, this is something that Americans are so fed up with, and we voted to end it.

That's what we voted for, to end all of this. Here we are over a year into President Trump's administration, and we're in a full-scale war with Iran that doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. So, no, none of it makes sense. You're someone who once said you thought that there was no one more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than President Trump. Obviously, he's long sought one. Do you think that there's

any way he could still get one given this war?

You know, at one time when he wanted to be the president of peace and he wanted to end wars and constantly talked about no more foreign wars, no ending wars, of course I thought he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. But do I think he deserves it now? No, absolutely not. And I don't think this is what the American people want. Look, I think there's a big divide, Caitlin, between the baby boomer generation and like

Gen X, my generation, and the millennials. You know, our generations have been the ones that have been sent to fight these wars in the Middle East, and our generations have paid a huge cost, and we want to see it over with. But yet it's the baby boomers that are in power that are just clinging to power, living out the end of their days.

You know, it really angers me, Caitlin, because I feel like they're ruining it for the rest of us. They're leaving us with tens of trillions of national debt. Only seven years from now, Social Security's going to be bankrupt. So me and you, our Social Security payments are going to be basically a tax, and we may never see a Social Security payments are going to be basically a tax, and we may never see a Social Security check.

So the direction of America and the divide between the generations where many baby boomers are supporting this war, because that's what they've been told on television, where many of us, we get our news from alternate sources and international news, and we know what's going on. You know, here's the message for the rest of the world. The younger generations of Americans, we don't want war with the world.

We want peace. We desperately want peace between all of our nations. We want good trade. We want to have good business deals. And we want to be able to visit your countries and you come visit ours. This is not what we want.

This is not what we voted for. And I'm certainly praying for our military troops and I'm praying for the administration to stop the insanity. The president said today he would feel it in his bones when this war should end.

Is that a clear exit to you?

I have no idea what that means. The same way I have no idea, I have no understanding of what he means when he doesn't think, he says he doesn't think he's going to heaven. So I, you know, those are statements that I find concerning. So I honestly have no idea what that means.

Do you miss Congress?

Absolutely not. This is an institution with a 13 percent approval rating because it fails Americans over and over and I'm a very conservative. I always had a strong conservative voting record and you know what, Congress doesn't serve America, it's America last and I really believed in serving America first so it was a land of frustration

for me, and I like to get things accomplished for the American people. But as everyone knows, and your viewers at home are watching, Congress doesn't really get anything done for the American people. get anything done for the American people. So no, I don't miss it at all.
