Show Full Article CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 11 -- Frantz Ward, a law firm, issued the following news: * * * Michael J. Frantz Jr. Discusses Subsurface Risk Allocation in Properties Magazine Frantz Ward Partner Michael J. Frantz Jr. shares how landscape and hardscape failures can lead to subsurface disputes and unintended liability and explains how commercial development owners can address these risks before they escalate in the March edition of Properties Magazine. His "Legal Perspectives" article, "Who Owns the Dirt?" highlights how soil movement caused by the freeze-thaw climate in the Great Lakes region canturn minor surface movement into significant structural failure over time, underscoring the importance of addressing subsurface risk early.
When failure occurs, the fragmented process for landscaping and hardscaping commercial developments complicates liability. Multi-party disputes often follow, with parties disputing whether issues stem from design, construction, or existing site conditions, ultimately leaving owners with repair costs, delayed occupancy, and increased injury exposure.
Avoiding Unexpected Disputes and Liability
In his article, Mike recommends owners reduce unexpected exposure and delays by:
* Ensuring performance language is precise and integrated with geotechnical assumptions and soil disclaimers
* Coordinating insurance policies and warranty periods
* Directly addressing subsurface risk during procurement and contracting
* Allocating subsurface risk upfront to reduce the likelihood of long, costly litigation

Mike focuses his practice on construction law, offering strategic counsel to contractors, developers, and property owners across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New Jersey. With extensive trial and appellate experience, Mike guides clients through every phase of construction projects, from contract negotiation to dispute resolution, helping them navigate complex regulations, mitigate risks, and avoid costly litigation. He is a trusted advocate committed to protecting his clients' business interests and achieving favorable outcomes.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on "The Conversation with Dasha Burns" This is a full unedited transcript of POLITICO's interview with Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on "The Conversation with Dasha Burns" Marjorie Taylor Greene: ...Republicans are going to get slaughtered in the midterms. I think right now it's looking...definitely losing the House and potentially the Senate. Dasha Burns: Hello, hello, and welcome to The Conversation. I'm Dasha Burns, Politico's White House Bureau Chief,and every week on this show, I invite one of the most compelling and sometimes unexpected power players in Washington and beyond in for a chat to find out how they're navigating and shaping this incredible era of American politics.
And this week, I spoke with former Republican Congresswoman and MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene. For six years, Greene was one of President Trump's most loyal allies, and during that time, she became an influential and polarizing voice in the GOP. But late last year, Greene and Trump clashed over her push to release the Epstein files, which led to her abrupt resignation from Congress. Now, she's one of President Trump's loudest critics calling his military action in Iran "evil and madness." Greene's very public fallout with the president underscores a deeper fracture inside the MAGA movement and raises new questions about what America first actually means. We talked about her life now, this week's special election to fill her seat, and where she thinks Trump's political coalition goes from here. Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene joins The Conversation.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you so much for joining The Conversation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Thanks for having me.
Dasha Burns: I'm so glad to have you in this moment because obviously I've been watching your commentary, and there's so much about what you've been saying and...and some of the controversy that you've been stirring too that I think is like just so indicative of a moment, of a real inflection point in Republican politics; and really politics at large, how both parties are...are shifting and changing. I do want to start though with the latest on the war in Iran. You've obviously been outspoken about how the president has handled this. You called his comments about ending a civilization uh, evil and madness. He ultimately didn't go through with those threats, and now we're in this fragile ceasefire. Like some are saying this is a victory for the president. Others are...are criticizing the terms of the ceasefire and kind of where we got to here. Where do you fall on that spectrum?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I don't see anything to celebrate at all, to be honest with you. I mean, this war was completely unnecessary. It was unprovoked. Um, and I'm not defending Iran by any means. I of course...um, none of us want them to have a nuclear bomb. We don't want to...they chant death to America. Those things are terrible and...and military members in the past that have been killed by the Iranian regime; no, we don't support any of this. But it was an unprovoked war uh, by Iran; however, it's...you know, in...in my eyes and...and many other people, I believe this is a war on behalf of Israel and it shouldn't be happening.
And look at...look at where we are now. Uh, the Strait of Hormuz was open before this war, and now it's mostly closed. The price of oil is, you know, well over $100.00 a barrel and continues to fluctuate depending on uh, the day's news. And um, I don't see anything to celebrate. There's many innocent people dead today because of this. There's um, you know, more than a dozen uh, US military members dead today because of this. And hundreds have been injured and we don't...we still don't know enough about all of that. So I don't...I don't see how President Trump can take any victories. The strait is mostly closed today. Um, and there's a...like you said, it's a fragile ceasefire, if we can call it a ceasefire at all because Israel was bombing Lebanon and...and there was bombs continuing to fly back and forth. Um, so I don't...I really don't see any victories.
Dasha Burns: The president says that the Iranian regime has murdered Americans, and he says that protecting those lives and protecting US citizens from Iran is America first. How do you respond to that?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Of course we want to protect American lives. I mean, that...everyone agrees with that. But what is America first is focusing on the things that are affecting Americans in their daily lives. And Iran was not affecting anything in Americans' daily lives. There are not bombs falling on our heads. We aren't living under um...uh...uh, under missiles or drone strikes in our towns and in our cities. That's not the reality here in America.
Uh, what's affecting American lives is the cost of living, high cost of health insurance, auto insurance. Um, I read a report this morning that the...that $100.00 in 2021 is now only...because of the low...you know, the value of the dollar going down is now only $80.00. That's what is affecting Americans' lives. The price of ground beef per pound is higher than minimum wage. That's what is affecting American lives. And that um...focusing and solving those issues, in my opinion, is America first. And that's what I thought that we had campaigned on in 2024.
Dasha Burns: The president says, you know...he's been talking about preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon for...for years. I mean, I've seen comments dating back to 2011, 2007, even you know, he...he believes he did in some ways uh, campaign on this and he's looking ahead to prevent Iran from having the capacity to do much more damage to...to Americans and to the world.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: Do you see that argument?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Well, I think that's been the statements made by many past presidents. Um, and both Republicans and...and Democrats, they've all said that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. But the elephant in the room that no one seems to address is that Israel has nuclear weapons. And that seems to be ignored over and over again, and our...our government funds Israel at $3.8 billion annually, but it's even more than that through different um, funding mechanisms, different funding bills um, through the Department of D...or the Department of War now, not the Department of Defense. Um, but...but billions of dollars are funneled to Israel, but no one ever talks about the fact that Israel is very capable of defending itself because it has nuclear weapons. And that's the conversation that I would like people to talk about uh, because I don't think America needs to fund Israel anymore in their defense. Um, Israel has proven that it...it is definitely willing to defend itself, to the point that it has committed genocide in Gaza and is now trying to do the same thing in Lebanon.
Dasha Burns: I hear you saying now, and you've said this before, that...that Israel dragged um, the US into this war. Michael Leiter, the Israeli ambassador to the US, told the New York Post, "It's an old antisemitic trope: the Jews are in control. America acts in its own best interest. It's so insulting. We come as self-respecting individuals, present our case, and the United States decides what suits what's in its best interest." What's your response to that?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: My response is um, the word antisemitic has been overused. This isn't about Jewish people. This is about the Israeli...the secular Israeli government and their military. And my response back to that is why was Benjamin Not...Netanyahu reportedly in the situation room with the president and with the president's closest advisors when this decision was being made? And I don't think any foreign leader ever belongs in the situation room. That...that belongs to the president of the United States and his closest advisors uh, primarily for the American people. And um, as a member of Congress for over five years, I witnessed firsthand the pressure that the Israeli lobby puts on members of Congress. Um, and it is a constant amount of pressure. I mean, we get pressure from everybody, right? There's all types of lobbyists that come in and pressure politicians. But the Israeli lobby is...I would say is one of the top pressure points.
Dasha Burns: I've been asking a lot of Democrats that come on this show whether um, candidates should stop taking money from pro-Israel groups. What do you think about that?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: A candidate should never take money for any pro foreign country, any foreign country. Um, so yes, I fully agree with that. Candidates should not be taking money for pro-Israel groups. Pro...I mean, you can fill in the blank for the foreign country. But yeah, I...I totally agree with that.
Dasha Burns: Are people who oppose this war on the Republican side um, who...who are sort of pointing the finger at...at Netanyahu as...as the reason we're...we're in this war, but do you think that gives President Trump too much of an out? Doesn't the president bear responsibility for this action? He was the ultimate decision-maker here.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yes, he does bear responsibility. I fully agree with that statement. And that's why I came out with harsh criticism um, and said the 25th Amendment should be used when he called to wipe out an entire civilization. He alone is responsible for those comments. Those are the most...that's the most dangerous rhetoric we've...I think we've ever heard from any president in the United States history. Um, maybe even in the entire world.
Dasha Burns: He also threatened uh, to decimate Iran's civilian infrastructure. Was the president threatening to commit war crimes there in your view?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yes. That sounds like war crimes. Absolutely.
Dasha Burns: On the Netanyahu piece, you know, I've...I've heard your criticism of him. Do you think that that Bibi Netanyahu needs to go?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I do. But I'm not a voter in Israel so I don't have any control over that. But um, clearly he doesn't have uh, overwhelmingly...overwhelming support in Israel. Polls show in that country that there's many people that would like him to be removed and they would like to replace him with another prime minister. He also has many corruption charges. Um, that has been talked about over and over again. I...I think it's extremely dangerous. The world is a dangerous place with Bibi Netanyahu as the prime minister of Israel.
Dasha Burns: The vice president JD Vance is probably the most anti-war isolationist member of the president's cabinet. Do you think that he should've taken a stronger stance at the outset here?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I think he actually has but he's done it behind the scenes. Um, which I'm very grateful for and...and I do respect what he's trying to do. I mean, let's be honest, to be a vice president, you can't just...your...your role is behind the scenes. Uh, you're there to support the president and support the administration, and that's how...reportedly that's how we got to this ceasefire was because of JD Vance who...who not only was outspoken internally against the war from the beginning but has also got...in...involved himself um, to try to get the negotiations going to come to a lasting ceasefire.
Dasha Burns: He's in a...in a...in a tough spot given his own views um, but having to show very little daylight with the president because of his role. You know, Vance and Rubio are...are seen as front-runners for 2028.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: Do you think it's disqualifying for the 2028 Republican nominee to...to have been involved in this conflict?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I wouldn't say it's disqualifying, and I would say it's too early to really call balls and strikes on either one of them in terms of the...this war. Um, but what I have seen is I have...I...what we're seeing is JD Vance doing...I think putting in his best efforts to try to end this war. Um, and I hope he's successful. I hope...I hope for everyone that he's successful.
Dasha Burns: Given the change, I mean, both...both the Republican and Democratic parties have started to speak differently about Israel, especially younger generations...
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: ...do you think that the 2028 Republican nominee needs to distance themselves or have a different relationship with uh...with Israel than...than nominees of the past?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Great question. This is...this is one of the biggest topics we need to be talking about. So it is very generational, right? Um, and...and I'm...I'm one that I'm...I've been saying...and I truly feel this way, I think both parties are failures; Democrats and Republicans both the parties together. Um, their leadership has got us to where we are today with for...nearly $40 trillion in debt, repeated foreign war after foreign war after foreign war, and...and many problems for Americans that never get addressed. So I blame both parties for that. However, the generational divide between the Baby Boomers and those that are mostly 50 and under is drastic. It is drastic. And...and it's...it's both sides, left and right Baby Boomers um, who...who are very ingrained in their political parties um, and...and also, guess what, they're the ones that turn out to vote the most. Out of all the generations, it's always the Baby Boomers that are the ones that show up at the polls more than any other generation.
But Dasha, you're right, we're seeing such a divide. And um, the reason why future candidates need to focus on the younger generations and what they're saying and what their views are and...and what they're trying...basically yelling out loud to stop fighting wars for Israel is because it's the younger generations that are the future. And over the next ten years or so, we're going to see...that's my parents' generation. We're going to see the Baby Boomers um, decline in numbers as...as they begin to pass away. And so yeah, I think it's critically important for all candidates to take a stance with the younger generations, say we are no longer going to fund Israel in their wars. We don't need to. We can...they can be our ally. We support them, of course. But we do not have to be involved.
Dasha Burns: Do you want to see...I mean, I'm...I'm hearing a lot of alignment actually between you and...and...and Vice President JD Vance in terms of how he thinks about these things. Do you want to see him as the...as the nominee for...for 2028?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I'm not coming out and endorsing any nominee for 2028 right now, but I have been a strong supporter of JD Vance. I was the first member of Congress to endorse him uh, for Senate when he ran for Senate. Uh, there was a small coalition, me, Charlie Kirk uh, Don Junior, Tucker Carlson that we all were really behind JD Vance. Um, and we also pushed him and supported him to be the vice presidential candidate alongside Donald Trump. So yes, I've been a big supporter of him in the past, but I'm not endorsing anybody right now.
Dasha Burns: I want to take a step back from...from Iran for a moment and...and talk a little bit about the...really the...the real straw that broke the camel's back for...for why you ended up sacrificing your political career really, and that was um, over...over the Epstein files. Now at this point, three million pages have been released. The DOJ hasn't brought any new charges. No high-level people have even been really accused of...of criminal wrongdoing. We haven't seen indictments come down. Do you think the fight was worth it looking back?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Oh, yeah, totally worth it, one hundred percent worth it. Um, when I ran for Congress in the beginning, I never planned on spending decades in Washington. As a matter of fact, I think that's one of the problems in Washington is we have too many career politicians, people that stay there until they're 80 years old or even further. So that...that was never an issue for me. Um, I...I don't think there...there...it hasn't been resolved. No one's been held accountable. I mean, we've seen foreign countries hold people accountable for the Epstein files, and we've seen no one held accountable here. And I can tell you why that is is it was...the final phone call I had with President Trump on the issue where he told me that his friends would get hurt and that was why he was against releasing the Epstein files.
Dasha Burns: What did you say to that? How do you respond to that when the president says that to you?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I was shocked. I was absolutely shocked because we're talking about men that raped girls as young as 14 years old -- and...and were involved in all kinds of insane things in these Epstein files and all types of business corruption and just all kinds of unbelievable things. And um, yeah, I was shocked because my perception of MAGA, my perception of what we were trying to do was President Trump was going to be the one that would drain the deep state, you know, destroy the deep state, drain the swamp um, go for transparency. He would be the one to release the Epstein files. So when it came down to a phone call with him and he's telling me that it would hurt his friends, people...he said people that...that I know, then I was like I...I'm sorry. I don't care. Like I literally don't care. I don't...
Dasha Burns: Did you say that to him?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yeah, I said I don't care. It's a line in the...it's...for me, it's a line in the sand. And um, so do I regret it? I regret nothing, Dasha. I don't. Um, when the president came out and called me a traitor and said he was going to primary me um, what upset me most is I thought about my district because I know what that looks like. I...I...I know a hundred percent what it's looked like. It's...it's happening in Thomas Massie's district where super-rich billionaires that are...don't even live in the district are funneling tens of millions of dollars and they're running nasty ads against Thomas Massie, that's what would've happened to me. So the people that uh, voted for me and voted for the president would be constantly...have these ads shoved in their face, mailers in their mailbox, text messages, the whole political machine um, trying to tell them they have to choose between me or Donald Trump. And I thought my g...my gosh, what a horrible thing for my sweet district to have to go to...go through. And it's just so absolutely wrong. And um, at that point in time when I made that decision, he had already bombed Iran, and that had already...I mean, that was another line in my sand. I was like this is not what we said. We said no more foreign wars. Um, so there were multiple things there, and...and I saw the direction he was going in early.
And um, I was like well, obviously this is a president that I can't support because he's...he's turned his back on key campaign promises, and now he's calling me a traitor because he's trying to protect his friends uh, from...from being released in the Epstein files for doing disgusting things. And so I...I was like I have no problem...I...I never had giant aspirations for a big political career in Washington. I only wanted to help our country. So it was um, a good decision; one I'm...one I'm very happy with.
Dasha Burns: One of the people close to the president that was in the Epstein files was Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. He's um, testifying before Congress next month about his relationship with Epstein after the files revealed that he stayed in contact with him for years um, after he pleaded guilty for soliciting a minor for prostitution. Look, it's important to note Lutnick has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, but um, sources do tell me he's on thin ice at the moment for...for a number of...of reasons. Do you think he should step down or...or be removed?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I'm actually glad that he's going to testify. Um, I mean, if we're...well, Pam Bondi's not going. She...she's not going to go before the Oversight Committee so if he's removed or he steps down, would that mean that he wouldn't go testify? I...I would like for him to go testify. He owes answers. Um, and...and I think that's a good thing for everyone. So um, I...I...I don't know what it...if it would change that if he were removed or stepped down.
Dasha Burns: After he testifies, depend...I mean, does it _____ [- cross talk].
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I mean, be...I meant, sorry. I...I meant before he testifies. If he's guilty of any wrongdoing, absolutely he should be removed. Um, but I think...I think we need to see more, I guess is what I'm saying.
Dasha Burns: Do you think Attorney General Pam Bondi deserved to be fired?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Um, I think Pam Bondi was doing her job exactly as the president was telling her to do it. A lot of people are upset with Pam Bondi because she...there was a lot of things she didn't do as attorney general. But uh, having served in Congress and having been there and knowing a lot of people uh, Pam Bondi did exactly what the president wanted her to do and what the White House wanted her to do. Um, so anyone that's going...her...any of her replacements, whoever comes behind her, I don't think that people in MAGA can accept...can expect to see anything different from what Pam Bondi did 'cause she...the next one will be serving under President Trump and under the White House as well.
And so many of us wanted to see accountability. I wanted to see accountability for COVID. I...I thought that was the worst thing that ever happened to Americans. And there was a lot of wrong done there. And um, we never saw any of that. And...and...and people wanted accountability for the 2020 election. People want accountability uh, for the January 6th Committee. People want accountability for all these things, but I...I think the realistic uh, expectation should be you're never going to see any accountability. And it's maybe not because of who the attorney general is. It's because of the White House.
Dasha Burns: I want to talk a little bit more about your break up with...with the president. Stepping back, do you think he changed from the man that you once believed in so strongly? Or do you think that he never really was that guy?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh, that's a great question. Um, yes, he changed drastically after he became president. Um, the...the president from...so I didn't know him in his first administration. I...I didn't have a relationship with President Trump. I wasn't in Congress. I came in in January of 2021 so I only began to know him in late 2020. So...so the relationship I had with President Trump was...was a Donald Trump that was no longer president and...and then...and then became president in...in uh, January of 2025. So yes, from my viewpoint and my experience, he changed drastically when he became president. The voices that he listened to also changed. He went from well, my goodness, listening to people like Charlie Kirk and...and me and...and Tucker Carlson and people in that America first uh, right um, to now he listens to Mark Levin and Lindsey Graham and God forbid, Laura Loomer, who can't even get a press pass at the White House but he takes her phone calls late at night, which is ridiculous.
Dasha Burns: What do you think happened? Like why do you think that is?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I don't know. I also...I also think we have to pay attention to who donated the most money to him uh, that helped him become president. That's Miriam Adelson; hundreds of millions of dollars and she is one hundred percent pro-Israel. And so a lot of these voices that he started listening to and being convinced by are in the same lane. They're extremely pro-Israel. And I...I hate to bring it back down to that subject again, but that has been the one uh, factor that...that really created the divide. Um, but yeah. No, he...it was who he started...who he stopped listening to and who he started listening to was where we saw the biggest change of behavior.
Dasha Burns: Let me turn it back around on you a little bit because you know, there are people in the movement who say you've changed, that you're not quite the same. I know you said you...you haven't changed any of your positions, but the evolution of Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken a lot of folks by surprise.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Well, I think maybe everyone's not used to someone that's willing to criticize both parties. And um, I guess everyone expected me to...when a Republican president came in and Republicans were in control, everyone expected me to continue my criticism on Democrats. However um, I've...before Congress if everyone had...if I had been a public figure before Congress um, you would've always known a Majorie Taylor Greene that was critical of government overall and government leadership and...and the bad decisions that affect Americans. I've always been critical of both sides. And um, for me, it's...I...I think it's just about being honest in...in what I see and places that I see are failures and...and I took responsibility as a Republican member of Congress to call it out when our side, Republicans, were failing and we're in charge.
And there was uh, multiple places there and it upset me greatly because I wanted us to do a good job. I mean, that's the whole reason why I ran for Congress was to do a good job. And um, when it, in my mind, started going sideways, I was like why are we doing this? This is not what we said. And um, so yeah, so I spoke out, of course, against the speaker of the house uh, against the president and against certain..pieces of legislation that I didn't agree with. And...and um, I think that's the right thing to do.
Dasha Burns: I followed you for a while, and...and to me, and...and I...I'm curious if...if...if you agree with this assessment, it...it's less about your...your positions changing 'cause I think you're right; you...you know, you...you've been consistent there, but there's something about the way that you communicate your message that has evolved. Do you...do you agree with that? And...and if so, like what...what's behind that?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yeah, I would agree with that. I...I do agree with that assessment. That probably did change over time. Um, and I would say that was learning the ways of Washington, probably some maturity, growing into the role. Um, you have to remember, like when I came in as a member of Congress, I had never served in any government capacity, not at the state level, not in any level. I had never even been to a GOP meeting until I walked into one and said I was running for Congress. And so [Laugh] I was just gonna say, Dasha, I was the most naive...
Dasha Burns: Not the...not the typical career trajectory. [Laugh]
Marjorie Taylor Greene: No. Not at all. So I...I would say when I came on the scene in 2021, I was the most naive member of Congress. I was...I was your very average American that had my...my...my lens of government and I came from that perspective. And so I had to get in there and I had to learn some hard lessons, learn the ropes, figure out how it worked um, and...and it took me a while. And you know, I had also been criticized so much. Um, the press was not nice to me. Um, many of my own colleagues were not nice to me. And the Democrats hated my guts.
Dasha Burns: You weren't too nice to the press or your colleagues either to be...[Laugh] um, to be honest.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: No, I wasn't. No, I...I wasn't. I...it was...it...everything felt combative when I got to Washington D.C. It was uh, microphones and cameras in your face with hard questions that were coming fast. I'd never done that before. Um, you know, and the dynamics of Washington D.C., the two political parties uh, it is just a constant war. And so that makes it hard to have any good dialogue. Um, it was also the political...my gosh, the whole...what we were living through was during that time, COVID and after January 6, I mean...and the...so the fighting was...between the left and the right was extreme.
Dasha Burns: Well, now, there are several moments where you have taken the side of Democrats, in...including, actually, you know, very recently you called for the president to be removed from office, joining Democrats in...in wanting to invoke the 25th Amendment. I mean, do you think at this point that America would be better off without President Trump?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I was so shocked by his statement of taking out an entire civilization of people. That is...that is rhetoric that we have never heard from any president of the United States and I don't think any world l...I was so, so disturbed by that. And to me, that displayed a...a...a severe mental state, that someone would say those words. I mean, it...wars are horrible. I mean uh, gosh, every war's horrible. And tragically, innocent people are killed. But it should never be the intentional purpose to kill intentional...it...to intentionally kill innocent people, and that is what he said. And um, yeah, I amen...25th Amendment should be used because we cannot be led...America's great military cannot be led by a president that would actually ask the great men and women that serve in our military to murder an entire civilization of people. That's the most evil thing I've ever heard in my life, and it wasn't taking a Democrat position. It...that to me was taking the right position. You know...you know what I'm saying?
Dasha Burns: Would JD Vance...would JD Vance make a better president than Trump at this point?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I believe so, yes.
Dasha Burns: Is Trump still the leader of the MAGA movement?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: He...well, he claims that MAGA is whatever he says it is so um, I don't really...I don't associate with the new MAGA that he created once he became president.
Dasha Burns: The OG MAGA that...that you know, who do you think is or should be...who do you see as the...as the leader of...of MAGA as you see it?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I think it's all divided right now. I don't think...I mean, obviously President Trump is...he's the president, obviously, and he still has significant support um, according to poll and anyone that identifies themselves as MAGA, very much supports President Trump. However, the reality of what's happened in that base is...it's very fractured. Um, there's the America first lane of the Republican Party. Um, there's the, you know, Republican voter that calls themselves MAGA. Um, and then, you know...then there's your traditional Republican voters. Uh, then you've got you moderate, more moderate, voters. And I think what we're seeing and...and...and again, I think it's the most interesting conversation to have is it's a generational divide. So any, you know...the people 50, 55, and up that watch Fox News literally all day on their television, like a lot of elder people I know. They have Fox News on TV all day long um, I would say they are receiving uh...that's propaganda news that they're watching all day long. And so they're being fed um, news that is framed and...and...and stories that are reference that only uh, give this rosy view of what uh, President Trump is doing and the White House and...and...and MAGA. And I think they're...I think they're being misled because if you watch all angles of news and if you watch um, international news, if you watch...if you follow stories on the internet and you're pretty smart and try to figure out okay, that's...that's fake. Okay, but this story's real, you know, you get a completely different viewpoint than the people that watch Fox News all day. So I think...I think that's where the divide is um, for people that consider themselves on the right uh, but it's go...I think the...the direction of it, Dasha, is a...again, I'll say this...this pro-war, the neocon whatever this new gross version of MAGA is its not gonna last because the younger generations just don't support it.
Dasha Burns: Given all of the fractures that you're talking about, what do you think the outlook is for Republicans in the midterms this year?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Oh, I've been saying it. I think I said it...I said it early in 2025, Republicans are going to get slaughtered in the midterms and...
Dasha Burns: Does that mean losing the House or the House and the Senate?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I think right now it's looking...definitely losing the House and potentially the Senate.
Dasha Burns: This week, there was kind of a...a bellwether actually in your district.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: The election to fill your seat, the Republican won. Clay Fuller won.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: But not by the margins you won by, certainly not by the margins that the president won the district by.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: What do you make of that outcome?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I...so I was never worried about my seat slipping blue. That was...that was never a concern. It was never a reality even though people tried to talk about it. Um, and...and of course, you know, I've congratulated Clay Fuller. I've talked to him. I wish him the best and...and of course, hopefully he serves the district. That...that needs to be the focus. Um, but no, I think the graver warning sign in the gigantic drop in Republican votes in that special election uh, I...I think what was Clay Fuller, he was around 11 or 12...
Dasha Burns: Twelve points, yeah.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: ...points...
Dasha Burns: Trump won by 37 in '24.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Right. And I was close to 30 so...somewhere in there. And so that gigantic drop is really a danger, a big warning sign for statewide elections in 2026 um, because it's...it's my former district uh, Georgia 14 and...and uh, North...Northeast side of Georgia, those are the rural counties that really carry statewide candidates across the line. And if we...you saw a big drop in my district for Republican votes, a drastic drop like that, that could very much effect the governor's race, the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and of course uh, Jon Ossoff's Senate seat that...that's up for reelection in 2026. So to me, that...that was what I saw right away. Um, and of course, it matches what we're seeing nationwide where Democrats are flipping Republican seats like all over the country. Um, it's just part of the same trend. But I think...I think the danger zone in that one is a...is a very much uh, potential that Georgia could flip blue.
Dasha Burns: Did you vote for Fuller?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Y...I support Republicans. Yeah, I supported the Republican candidate, yeah.
Dasha Burns: I know you didn't endorse but it sounds like you did...
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yeah, I stayed out.
Dasha Burns: ...you did go out and vote.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: So...I mean, I stayed out totally and completely. I think...to me, that was the right thing to do um, was let's let the district decide.
Dasha Burns: But it sounds like ultimately you did go out to vote and you did vote for Fuller.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Right.
Dasha Burns: Do you think Ossoff is going to win Georgia in November?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yes, I think Ossoff's going to win. Um...
Dasha Burns: Wow.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yeah, his...he's um...the...his polling numbers have repeatedly showed it over and over again. And...and again, I'll point out, if...if my district went that hard uh, if Shawn Harris was able to dig in that deep into a red district like...like my former district, that...that is definitely something to watch for in these other key races.
Dasha Burns: Well, and voters' frustration with Congress, I mean...and this is on...on both sides of the aisle, right, like that...voters are not thrilled with that.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: No.
Dasha Burns: With government at all but...but Congress in particular, but for Republicans, I mean, Mike Johnson is the leader in the House right now. Should he be in 2027?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: No, absolutely not. Um, I don't think he should be the speaker right now. He's been a terrible speaker uh, very unsuccessful. Uh, I'll...I'll go back to in the fall at the first government shutdown that was eight weeks long, and um, I was pushing hard for...we need a Republican healthcare plan. This is one of the top issues affecting Americans. This is what Americans care about. And he kept going on television and saying oh, we've got a plan. Majorie Taylor Greene just doesn't serve on the committee of jurisdiction and we've got a plan and I've got a plan. He'd go over and over and over again how he has all these plans, and here we are in April of 2026, months later, and Mike Johnson still has not rolled out a...a...a single page of a healthcare plan. And those are the issues that are going to drive voters in 2026, and so we're looking at a speaker of the house that is not successful in addressing the issues that affect Americans so why would voters across America reward Republicans with another majority and...and why would Mike Johnson deserve to be speaker of the house again?
Dasha Burns: Let's talk about your own future for a minute because you've retired from Congress. You've...you've said pretty intently that you don't plan to run for office again. But like, here you are. [Laugh] You're...you're still very um, public and...and you seem intent on...on...on maintaining a voice um, in...
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Uh-huh.
Dasha Burns: ...in the party and in the movement. Uh, w...why is that?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Because I do care deeply about the country. And I care about my children's generation, Gen Z. And um, I think there's a lot of changes that can be made, and I hope to be impactful in that way. Um, I th...again, I think both parties are a complete failure and the results prove it, right? I mean, we could go over all the results and...and the current state of affairs.
Dasha Burns: Yeah, I mean, you've...you've said that both parties need to be burned down to the ground. I think you told Alex Jones...
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yep.
Dasha Burns: ...that Republican...the Republican Party needs to burn down to the ground.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Yes.
Dasha Burns: I mean, do you still con...I know you said you vote for Republicans, but do you still consider yourself a Republican?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I would not...I don't really know if I do consider myself one right now. I would...I would say I'm definitely leaning more calling...calling myself an independent. Um, and I...
Dasha Burns: Have you gone so far as to change your...your registration yet?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I haven't. Not yet. I haven't changed yet. Um, but I will probably think uh, pretty deeply about doing that. And I think it's important because I think that's where many Americans are leaning...they're finding themselves. They're saying...if they're a Democrat, they're saying well, the Democrat Party has failed me. If they're a Republican, they're saying well, the Republican Party has failed me. And um, you know, I had tweeted at Ro Khanna this morning. Uh, he's mentioned and others have mentioned pulling together a coalition from the...the left and the right and trying to find a new center because the current center has got us where we are. I mean, that's the reality. The current center with Republicans and Democrats the way they have been coming together for decades now is...is what...what we have. And so I am very interested in like going to a whiteboard and going okay, let's come together and what does this even look like and...and...and how can we reimagine uh...uh, you know, a new coalition going forward. And I think that's what the younger generations want, they desperately want. Um, put down the very uh...the...the very like special issues that the left and the right vote about, put those issues down and let's pull together the most critical issues that are really impacting Americans' lives. And let's come together and find a way to move forward on those issues. And I think that could be...I think that could be the future. And so I'm interested in that conversation.
Dasha Burns: Would you ever run as a third party candidate?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I have no idea, honestly. I'm very much enjoying life out of politics. So I...I can't even begin to answer that.
Dasha Burns: Would you consider voting for someone that calls themselves a Democrat?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Um, I will probably...well, it's hard for me because I have some issues that I very much care about...
Dasha Burns: Yeah.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: ...like I'm pro-life. Um, I'm very much against uh, transitioning children. I don't care what adults do. Honestly, adults can do whatever they want. If a man wants to get a boob job, fine; go get your boob job. But it...for me it's kids and...and how kids are affected by that. Um, so those are issues that are...that are important to me. I'm conservative also. Like I care about the debt. I...I care about what happens to our tax dollars. I'm very concerned about Social Security. I don't think you and I are ever going to see a Social Security check even though we've been paying into it all of our adult working lives. Like those are the things that I'm...I foresee serious problems there. Um, so I don't...I can't say I can see myself voting for a Democrat candidate. But I am interested in looking for candidates that are willing to let's put these special interest issues aside and find new common ground issues that can truly serve America, America first. That's what I care about. America first. No more foreign wars, no more money to foreign countries, let's keep our money here and figure out how to help Americans.
Dasha Burns: So we could see a Majorie Taylor Greene and Ro Khanna team up potentially down the line?
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Well, we teamed up on the Epstein files with Thomas Massie, and Ro Khanna was the leader um, on the Democrat side that...that really helped make that happen. And it was...it was impressive.
Dasha Burns: It's really something to think about you two in a room with a whiteboard trying to figure out a...a new political party. That...that says a lot about uh, the political moment we're in right now.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I think it's needed and hopefully we would have some other smart people in the room. Um, but it's a conversation that I think is at least worth having. We've got to try something because the direction we're going in is failing all of us I think.
Dasha Burns: Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, thank you so much for joining me today.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Thank you, Dasha. It's good to see you.

"This sophisticated group joins us at a pivotal time as we execute on our vision to build on our national areas of strength and provide crucial, market-leading service to our clients," said Managing Partner Andrew J. Detherage. "This latest acquisition continues our strategic growth and success as a destination for high-level talent."
The insurance recovery team joins Barnes & Thornburg from Lowenstein Sandler and is led by partner Lynda Bennett, who will serve as co-chair of Barnes & Thornburg's Insurance Recovery Group.

"I'm excited to join Barnes & Thornburg as co-chair of its Insurance Recovery Practice in the firm's New Jersey and New York offices. I'm especially proud that my team of 11 lawyers and two outstanding assistants have joined me in this next chapter," said Bennett.

With the addition of this insurance recovery team, Barnes & Thornburg has now welcomed 85 lawyers to the firm in 2026.
"We are excited for this powerhouse insurance recovery team to join our East Coast offices, particularly in New Jersey and Philadelphia where we have built a substantial presence since opening in 2022 and continue to scale our regional footprint," said Michael C.

Miranda joined Hispaniclegislators from across the country for a timely discussion on grid reliability, meeting surging energy demand, and cutting-edge energy technologies.
"State legislators are essential partners in shaping the energy systems that families, businesses, and communities rely on every day," said Jose Antonio Miranda, Avangrid CEO. "By collaborating with state legislators and investing in modernizing grid infrastructure, we can thoughtfully balance affordability, reliability, and innovation--strengthening the US energy future and promoting long-term economic growth."
Titled "Balancing Affordability, Reliability and Growth in an Evolving Energy Landscape," the session explored the intersection of energy policy, infrastructure investment, and rising electricity demand, with a focus on how states and utilities can provide affordable, reliable service while supporting economic growth and innovation.
"We must address now how were going to meet the increasing demand for energy in a sustainable way today and tomorrow. And these conversations must include all of us: policymakers, providers and consumers. Discussing our common priorities with Jose Antonio Miranda gave all parties a clearer sense of how that pathway towards sustainable and affordable energy could look like for our states", said Rep. Juan Candelaria (CT), President of NHCSL.
The conversation was introduced and moderated by Illinois State Representative Eva Dina Delgado, with Miranda offering insights from Avangrid's experience operating regulated electric and natural gas utilities and developing power generation projects across the United States. The session concluded with a 15 minute audience Q&A.
The fireside chat took place Thursday, April 9, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., at Pfizer Headquarters in New York City, as part of the NHCSL Spring Meeting hosted April 8-10.
