Analysis Summary
Anchoring
Presenting an extreme number or claim first so everything after seems reasonable by comparison. The first piece of information becomes your reference point — even when it's arbitrary or deliberately inflated. Works even when you know the anchor is irrelevant.

What is happening to the man that that I supported, you supported, the man that that denounced what happened in Iraq? The man that said no more foreign wars, no more regime change. Promise it on the campaign. JD Vance promised it. Tulsi Gabbard promised it. All of them promised it. And we're a year in. A year in and we're in another war. >> Okay. Hey, I'm joined by my friend of the show, Rick Overton, is with me to cover this. But, uh, here is Marjorie Taylor Green, and she's had it with Donald Trump and these wars, like a lot of conservatives have, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, uh, people from e, we covered it the other day, even uh, um, Alex Jones is shagrined. He's flemped. He was he was melting down in a sense uh, over all this. He can't he's like I can't cover for it anymore. He had hope that Donald Trump was going to do a better job and it's all gone. So now here's here's Marjorie Taylor Green. She says war with Iran is costing American taxpayers a billion dollars a day. Most American taxpayers will never receive a social security check because it's all will be bankrupt by 2033. Most Americans can't afford health insurance policies because they are so expensive. Most American families cannot financially survive on a single income, and both parents have to work like slaves in order to feed their children and keep a roof over their heads. But the Trump administration has decided that these American taxpayers have to spend a billion dollars a day to murder people and their children in a foreign country that none of us have ever met and know nothing about. Incredible MAGA priorities. So, she went on uh she went on with Megan Kelly and she really let it go here. Here, let's listen. >> And Pete Hex said this morning, Megan, he said that we didn't start this war, but I hate to argue with the secretary of the Department of War. Uh, America and Israel definitely started this war and it you can't lie that away to the American people. And so, you know how I feel right now? I am I rate I am furious about this. We are nearly $40 trillion in debt. How much is this war going to cost us? We We have seen enough of our American troops dead and murdered for foreign countries. And now we've had four dead and murdered just like you said for Israel and and for the Iranian people, not for the American people. And and I don't want to see any more dead and murdered. >> She goes on. And then we have the president who, by the way, Megan, this really needs to be said. Donald Trump has said repeatedly on camera and in interviews, he doesn't think he's going to heaven. Well, I want to ask a question, a serious question. What is in his mind? What is his mental state? If he doesn't think he's going to heaven and he is a man towards the end, he's in the fourth quarter. He's towards the end of his life. How does that pan out for the rest of us when we have a president of the United States who doesn't think and is convinced he's not going to heaven? What does that mean his decision-making is? He already said to the New York Post today that he doesn't care about the polling. He doesn't care about what the American people think and he may put troops on the ground. He took a oh, this is going to be a few day war to now it's going to be maybe four weeks or more. I I want to say what is happening to the man that that I supported, you supported, the man that that denounced what happened in Iraq, the man that said no more foreign wars, no more regime change. Promise it on the campaign. JD Vance promised it. Tulsi Gabbard promised it. All of them promised it. And we're a year in. A year in and we're in another war and we've got American troops being killed. I I I think it's time for America to rip the band-aid off and we need to have a serious conversation about what the is happening to this country and who in the hell is is are these decisions being made for and who is making these decisions. Wow. I wish she would have stayed in Congress. I I don't know why she got out of Congress. But so that's so that's Marjorie Taylor Green laying it down. There was no bigger MAGA supporter than Marjorie Taylor Green. Tucker Carlson's been laying it down. Candace Owens been laying it down. Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire has been laying it down on Trump over this war and all the and all the neocons who are supporting it. Uh, also who who was who's uh so Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Matt Walsh, Owen Shroyer, who used to be on Infowars who will be on this show in about a half hour. Uh, there's lots of high profile people who were MAGA who are now completely not MAGA and completely going after Trump. Um, what what does this tell you, Rick? What what does this tell you when someone like can with someone like Candace Tucker uh Megan Kelly uh and now Marjorie Taylor Green what what is that there it's what does this tell you when you hear stuff like this? I mean, this is what the Democrats should be saying, right? Obviously, uh she's but this is a perfect example of how the the left and the right should come together. Uh so what what do you >> the left and the right have come together at the very top and they're laughing at us while playing golf. Ah, >> they already are together and they're putting on a show and the show's falling apart. And the scariest part is when they don't care that the lie is falling apart. >> That's That's a great point that the left and the right are together, but they're not together at the bottom. They're together at the top. >> That's a per Oh, I'm going to put that in my act. That's uh That's exactly right. You want What else you I'm sorry I cut you off. Well, I was just going to say that the uh they're putting on this demonstrative show about their sides and the greatest threat anyone can be to any of that is someone from their own side not doing that show and she is like that and I think it's not possible maybe it's just not possible to work in that structure anymore. You know there's other people telling Tulsi to resign for these very same reasons. says because you can't do what you have to do in there. They won't let you say what you want to say in there. Whereas um Marjorie is now outside that structure and saying it. And I don't think she has lost the amount of power that some people might assume that she has because social media is a much bigger entity than the other news shows they'd ever have her on anyway. >> Yeah. Correct. Correct. So more people are are seeing her on social media. They're going to see her on a corporate news channel. That's that's >> nowadays. Yeah, it's really turned around. >> So, she was on with Megan Kelly. Now, she's going to be on with me. I'm sure. Uh I saw due dissonance cover this. So, there's Everybody else is going to cover this. >> So, she's going to be Yeah, you're right. She probably has more power than people think. Um and yes, I agree with you. I I've said this before. I think I said it earlier this week that it's time for Tulsi to resign. Tulsa used to sell t-shirts that said no war with Iran. I wonder what how many how much what' you do with [laughter] what you do with the money from from that. Anyway, >> I don't really care what she did with the money, but that's just ironic. [laughter] Uh but it's time for her to resign and make a stand because they've obviously iced her out. I'm sure she's against this war in Iran. I'm sure she's against what's happening in Venezuela. I'm sure she's against what's happening in Ukraine. I'm sure she's against what's happening in Cuba, but she's just going. So, the idea that she can be an influence inside that administration. It's just not real anymore. So, it's you could she would have a much much more influence if she quit and then started attacking. She resigned and started and then started criticizing what's happening and she would the mics would be all over. I bet you they'd bring her on MSNBC and CNN even this. >> No one can list the name of others who have succeeded trying to do it. Jimmy, >> uh, >> there's nobody that makes it through that machine that doesn't get chewed up and shadow out. >> That's right. Yeah, that's right. So, it's time to get out of that machine and oppose it, uh, loudly from outside this the the administration. >> So, but I mean, she makes such great points, >> you know, uh, people can't afford that. >> People can't afford healthcare. My kids can't afford a house. They can't afford the same, like Tucker said, they can't afford the same life that their parents did. They can't not. And and we're still doing this. We're still doing this. And this war is is is very likely going to crash our Wall Street because the Gulf States aren't going to give money to our stock market anymore, which will crash our economy. And they probably they might even start selling oil in other denominations, which means the petro dollar is gone faster than even I predicted it. Which means that the dollar will lose its value and that all the money you have saved is going to be less uh lessened in value. How much? I don't know. We're we're killing our own currency right now by doing this. We're killing our own currency. The United States is all the people >> patriotic. >> Yeah. And all the and all the people who are for this war don't realize that they're killing our own economy and they're killing our own currency. Marjgerie Taylor Green gets it. You know who used to get it too? Trump. Trump's up until 5 seconds ago. Trump used to be saying the same thing she's saying. Same thing Thomas Massiey's saying the same thing started with started with believing in kind of left-wing things. If you think about it, >> that's right. Trump campaigned as a lefty, a peace candidate. It's the biggest fraud I've ever seen in a campaign, by the way. >> Oh, yeah. >> I haven't seen a bigger I mean, I've seen lots of frauds. They all lie. They all do. Uh, but this one is a doozy. >> I don't know. He let us in. Those sneakers sure were cool. Solid gold sneakers. Got to say, boy, you know, if he could pull that off, he could do anything. >> Yeah.

Video description
Jimmy talks to comedian, writer and actor Rick Overton about the growing revolt among prominent MAGA figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens against Donald Trump's escalation of war with Iran, which they see as a betrayal of his anti-war campaign promises. Greene delivers a furious takedown, questioning Trump's mental state after he admitted he doesn't think he's going to heaven and demanding to know why American taxpayers are spending a billion dollars a day to kill people in foreign countries while Americans can't afford healthcare or housing. Jimmy and Rick argue that this represents a rare moment where the left and right base could unite against the ruling class, who are "together at the top laughing at us." They call on Tulsi Gabbard to resign from the administration and use her voice to oppose the wars from the outside, warning that the conflict will crash the stock market and destroy the US dollar when Gulf States stop investing in America.
