Tonight, we’re cutting through the noise. I sit down with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for a raw conversation about the state of our nation — where America stands, and where we’re headed if we don’t start putting our people first. We talk about the war on the middle class, the endless propaganda pushing foreign priorities, and the fraud and waste buried in our own government programs. MTG opens up about the hate she faces, how she stays grounded, and what real leadership looks like when even “America First” politicians seem to forget who they serve. This one’s not about sides — it’s about truth, clarity, and the fight to bring America back home.
