Chapter 1: What happened at Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall?
why are you such a coward in the face of an obvious fascist takeover andrew that was from marjorie taylor green's town hall in her district obviously a ruby red district she did everything she could
to try to keep out people with any dissenting views. She wouldn't really even have people ask questions. She was reading the questions live, and you got questions like that. You also got Marjorie Taylor Greene get questions like this about Donald Trump being not physically or mentally well. Watch how she handled it. Play this clip.
Chapter 2: How did Marjorie Taylor Greene respond to questions about Trump's mental health and policies?
What are you doing to protect us in the 14th District from the damage and extreme hardship of Trump's tariffs? Gutting of Social Security and Medicaid. Doge gutting our government with a chainsaw approach and the utter destruction and ignoring of our Constitution and rule of law. He is not well physically or mentally, and he's making nonsensical orders based on his whim of the day.
How are you going to rein him in to protect us? Oh, poor Christina. Poor, poor Christina. Well, I'm sure, Christina, you think that you're pretty smart. But the reality is you are being completely brainwashed by whatever source of news you listen to. The facts are this. No one has lost their Social Security. No one has lost their benefits. Criminals have lost it. Yes.
Fraudsters have lost it, yes. And illegal aliens have lost it, yep. And if you want to defend those people where you hate our country and you hate America, what am I going to do? I am going to stand by my president. I am going to support my president. And I'm going to fight for his agenda with everything I have in Congress. And that's what I'm going to do for the 14th District.
Because I know for a fact you are going to have more money in your pocket. You're going to have more jobs available. You're going to have a stronger economy. And you're going to have safe cities and communities to live in. And you'll be safe from terrorists, cartels, and criminals. And God bless President Trump for that.
Chapter 3: What was the reaction to Brian Mast at his town hall in Florida?
I'm going to show you more of Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall from yesterday. I also want to show you MAGA Republican Congress member Brian Mast from Jupiter, Florida. Now, he got mercilessly booed over and over again. Let me show you one such incident of that. Let's play this clip right now.
yeah it was pretty much him getting booed the entire time right there um let's go back to the marjorie taylor green clip i showed you at the beginning so you get the full context of the question and ultimately how she answered here let's play the clip
Why are you such a coward in the face of an obvious fascist takeover? Andrew. Scary. That's scary. You know, I've yet to see a fascist gathering that doesn't exist in the Republican Party. As a matter of fact, President Trump is the most transparent president in history. The man literally talks to the press every single day. It's amazing.
Not only that, he takes them on Air Force One and takes them to UFC fights. He talks to them and gaggles on the plane. He talks to them all the time. This is such an amazing thing that happened. You know, well, the Associated Press shouldn't have told as many lies as they did about President Trump.
Okay, then a protester was there who referred to Marjorie Taylor Greene as you are a butch body bigot. Here, play this clip.
That are not just living at the border. Ladies and gentlemen, they're all inside the interior of the United States. All inside the interior of the United States. You can head out. The protest is outside. Thank you very much. Protest is outside. Protest is outside. Bye. Have fun out there.
Then a protester was there with a sign that said, jail for insider traders. That obviously struck a nerve with day trader or Marjorie Taylor Greene, who made a lot of suspicious trades right before Donald Trump's announcements on tariffs. Play this clip.
Live in a place where I am one of the members of Congress that usually has the highest amount of death threats. As a matter of fact,
Going to Iowa right now, Chuck Grassley got jeered at a town hall meeting when he was asked about Donald Trump refusing to abide by a Supreme Court's ruling. Play this clip.

Chapter 4: How did Chuck Grassley face criticism regarding Trump and Supreme Court rulings?
Chapter 5: What controversies surrounded Marjorie Taylor Greene's stock trades and audience protests?
Are you going to bring that guy back from El Salvador? Yeah. Are you? Yeah. That's not a powerful conference. The Supreme Court said to bring him back. He's defying the Constitution. Trump don't care. If I get an order for $1,200 and I just say no, does that stand up? Because he's got an order from the Supreme Court and he's just said no. Yeah. You ignored my letter.
Guatemala is an independent country. Can you speak up, please? We can't hear you. The president of that country is not subject to our U.S. Supreme Court. We're paying him to keep him down there.
The older I get, the more I find myself wanting to be more intentional about the way I live, eat, and take care of my body. That's why I'm so happy I found MOSH. MOSH, which you may have heard about on Shark Tank, was founded by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger with a simple mission, to create a conversation about brain health through food, education, and research.
Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, and since then, she and Patrick have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help other families dealing with this debilitating disease. Mash joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar.
With eight delicious flavors, including a plant-based one in peanut butter and chocolate, each Mosh Bar is made with ingredients that support brain health like ashwagandha, lion's mane, collagen, and omega-3s. And now Mosh Bars come with a new look and new formulation, featuring a game-changing brain-boosting ingredient that you won't find in any other bar.
Mosh is now the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that supplies the brain with a patent form of citicholine. But here's the best part to make you feel good. MOSH donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender-based brain health research through the Women's Alzheimer's Movement. Why gender-based?

Chapter 6: Who is Mosh and how does their product support brain health?
Because two-thirds of all Alzheimer's patients are women. MOSH is working closely to close the gap between women and men's health research. Personally, I love the taste of my MOSH bars. My favorite is the peanut butter crunch, which I have each morning before I head off to the gym.

More from that town hall right here. You have MAGA Republican Senator Chuck Grassley seeing very angry Iowa residents who were letting them know about, you know, so Donald Trump is, I'm trying to get this straight. So Donald Trump is doing tax cuts for billionaires, $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. But y'all are saying that $70 is too much for food stamps for people who are starving to death?
Play this clip.
I think the general population is sick and tired of hearing about the tax cuts for the wealthy, the ultra-wealthy, the uber-rich, whatever you want to call them. When you start nitpicking about whether some single mom or single dad or somebody with somebody in prison is getting $70 too much food stamps, it doesn't even buy you anything at the grocery store.
More on Senator Chuck Grassley's town hall here. Play this clip.
There's money going to go out to the people that are doing Medicare Advantage. That is privatization of Medicare. And we don't want it.

Chapter 7: How are Iowa residents reacting to Republican policies and tax cuts?
They take advantage of people all the time. But 50% of the seniors do want it.
No, they don't want it.
Let me explain why I said 50%. 50% of the seniors are enrolled in Medicare Advantage.
Because, no, that doesn't mean they want it. They've got to know.
They've got a choice.
It's insurance companies that are, of course, insurance companies are then controlling you. And they'll tell you that you must call in every year because they can change the rules whatever they want to do.
And then there was a moment as well in Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall where an individual who was there protesting her or disagreeing with her was actually tased by the police. Here, play this clip. And then Marjorie Taylor Greene lied and said that tariffs are not a massive tax on the American people. Let's play this.
The reality is tariffs are not a massive tax on the American people. The tax on the American people that you've been suffering with is the inflation that Biden and the Democrats put on the American people from their absolute reckless spending for the past four years.
I want you to see the contrast between a Marjorie Taylor Greene town hall. What are Democrats doing to fight the oligarchy tour? Bernie Sanders, AOC. Yesterday they were in Bakersfield, which voted for Trump. Like 60% of the people voted for Trump beat Kamala Harris in Bakersfield, which is part of Kern County by like 30 points. Like even Senator Adam Schiff didn't win Kern County.
