DAN BALL (HOST): You were on last Monday's show a little over a week ago and we talked about that BS hearing you had to do come, what was it, Friday, so four, five days ago, where they're trying to boot you off the ballot because, oh God forbid they didn't like a tweet you sent and they think that you're a big orchestrator of January 6’s insurrection, as they call it. So what’s happening with this hearing? I mean, the judge recommends to the secretary of state and then the secretary of state can take that recommendation and decide whether or not to leave you on the ballot come the midterms, or how does that work?
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-GA): Well, you know, I think the great thing, I was -- I was upset first that this was even going to be shown live on television, but actually I'm so glad it was shown live on television. Because the entire world got to see what liars these attorneys are, and how desperate they are to hold on to power and push their radical leftist progressive agenda on the United States. And they are liars. They call themselves “Free Speech for People,” but yet they were able to come down to Georgia from New York and Massachusetts, wherever they live, and invade our state and try to take over our ballots, and try to control who is on the ballot. Well my district is so upset. So I had the opportunity -- I had to go into that hearing. But I was there, and I'm glad I went to defend my voters’ rights. My district has rights to vote and choose whoever they want to represent them, not these attorneys, and they had no business doing it.
BALL: That's right.
GREENE: I think I'll prevail and I feel very confident.
BALL: I think you will too, and judging by your last election, since you won by like, what, 80-some percent of the vote, I’m pretty sure your constituents want you back on the ballot.
