The public rift between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene is analyzed as potential "scripted theater" designed to draw attention to the upcoming House vote on the Epstein files.

The panel noted that Musk's significant wealth and influence on social media platforms could peel off enough votes to shift the balance of power in the House of Representatives.
