	You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
	The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
	And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
	Welcome back, everybody, to the third and final hour of tonight's live broadcast of TPC, Saturday evening, November the 22nd, live on AM 1600 WMQM, our flagship station syndicated to the Internet Stream, Broadcast Archives, and affiliate stations of the Liberty News Radio Network.
	Welcome to all the Kill Stream listeners tonight and after the fact as well.
	We have had an absolutely unstoppable two days in Memphis.
	I mean, and by unstoppable, I mean, we have not stopped.
	We have not slept.
	We have eaten, and we've eaten well.
	But we have been go, go, go.
	Three different shows now we've done.
	This is TPC.
	We've done two kill streams or content for Ethan's channel.
	And we've had a lot of fun.
	It has been real time talking about the issues, talking about Memphis, as we did in the first hour, talking about life, talking about family.
	It has been wonderful.
	And it is not over yet.
	We talk in the second hour, as you know, about the Chuck Schumer resolution.
	I guess that'll probably sail through Congress and only further set back Schumer's position.
	But now we're going to talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation from Congress.
	As the aforementioned Brad Griffin wrote, truth be told, Trump never built a bench in Congress.
	The House has held 30 hearings on anti-Semitism.
	That's all it really does.
	The Marjorie Taylor Green resignation is another Jeff Sessions disaster.
	When Trump's cult of personality runs its course, Congress will be stocked with a bunch of establishment Republicans like Mike Johnson and Tim Scott and the idiot down there in Florida, Byron Donalds.
	I mean, so this is the, you know, Ethan, this is the good and the bad about Trump.
	When he's doing things that are good, you like that he has this cult of personality that can whip people into shape.
	He bent the GOP entirely to his will.
	And for the things that he has been good on, that has been a positive.
	But for whatever reason, when he's wrong about something and he does this, and somebody that happens to be right when he's wrong, like Marjorie Taylor Green, steps out of what he believes is the line, it, yeah, I see Brad's point here.
	I mean, you're running out people like that and Jeff Sessions, and you're leaving yourself with these sycophants, these cucks like Lindsey Graham.
	That's MAGA.
	I mean, is that what this whole thing was about?
	Marjorie Taylor Greene was good when she first went in.
	She's much better now, and this is a big blow.
	When I saw that, we were together last night when I saw this.
	I said, whoa, I said, this can't be real.
	This can't be right.
	She's resigning from Congress, and she's not even finishing out her term, which is very weird.
	I mean, she's going to have a two-year term.
	Well, nevertheless, they're going to have to have a special election next year because she's stepping down in January.
	So two-year term or what?
	She's not even finishing that out, not even waiting to be primaried, if that was ever going to be the case.
	So your thoughts on this, Ethan, because I know you like her too.
	I do like her.
	And we talked about this, by the way, JB Summer.
	I saw he had me tagged too.
	I just now saw that tweet from the last submit.
	But, well, you know, everything Brad Griffin said is true.
	And also, you know, I, you know, I don't like to get conspiratorial-minded, usually.
	But the fact that she's not finishing out her term, maybe she's got a TV author or something like that.
	She could easily do that.
	Maybe she's laying the groundwork to run for a higher office, senator, governor, or whatever.
	But it's very strange to just not finish your term.
	Even Nancy Pelosi, who's halfway dead, is going to finish her term.
	And for heaven's sake, Charles Jazz is a two-year term.
	It's weird.
	Right it out.
	Do we think there's some, I mean, again, this is all speculation, but is there some type of threat or blackmail?
	They basically said, unless you want to wind up like Charlie Kirk, you need to resign.
	Well, it's all speculative.
	Well, again, that's speculation, but it is very strange that she's just, I mean, what?
	That's just two months away, and she's out.
	And she wasn't talking like that a couple days ago.
	Does she fear Trump's, you know, he's obviously going to endorse her opponent, but Trump's not that popular in Georgia.
	Matter of fact, he lost two Senate seats in Georgia.
	He lost a Senate seat in Alabama, which was very impressive, by the way.
	That actually was one of the most remarkable things he's done, only in a bad way.
	And I have been generally very favorable of Trump.
	I talked to my friend Charles in Oklahoma the other day, by the way, and he was mentioning Thomas Massey, and he's the other one that Trump's after.
	And the thing about Massey is a little bit different than Green is that, you know, Massey is right about Israel because he has this libertarian streak, but he's been consistently bad on immigration and some other things.
	I think he gets a little bit higher marks on our side because he challenges Trump on Israel, but not necessarily for the reasons that he should be.
	That's an aside, I guess.
	If you're right for the wrong reasons, you know, that's still something.
	But between the two of them, I do like Taylor Greene more.
	And it is a blow to lose her because she was really the best in Congress.
	And at least you had her, even though I don't really think women should vote or hold office.
	But if you have to, if she's still the best.
	But, I mean, nevertheless, if a man won't do the job, and she will.
	Trump called her a traitor.
	And she said she completely turned it on his ass.
	And she said, a traitor is a person who puts the interests of a foreign country above those of his own.
	Oh, boy.
	Strong as Garrett himself.
	Oh, and who is more interested in enriching himself versus serving the American people?
	And that was like a bomb drop.
	Ethan, you bring up a great point.
	And so she was doing that as recently as a few days ago.
	So it looks like she was spoiling for a fight.
	And now there's this.
	So, again, if you've been asleep.
	There's something rotten in the walls in Denmark.
	Here is the headline.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene, of course, the Republican representative out of Georgia, announced on November the 21st, which was just yesterday, if you're listening live, that she will resign from Congress effective January 5th.
	So that's just barely more than a month away.
	That will force a special election to be held.
	Why the haste?
	I mean, that's the thing.
	Okay, so you don't want to be primaried.
	Maybe you don't want to lose your seat.
	Just don't run again.
	But why force the state of Georgia to go through the entire expense and ordeal of a special election as Keith is?
	You said you're only serving a two-year term.
	This decision follows a high-profile public fallout with Donald Trump, who recently withdrew his endorsement of her and called her Marjorie Traitor Green after she criticized his administration primarily on the Epstein issue, which if push came to shove, it was a unanimous vote except for one cook in Louisiana.
	What resolves the question, though, is most people would rather live than die.
	Yeah, I'd agree.
	Usually.
	But yeah, I can't really explain it.
	And the whole, we could talk Epstein.
	Trump totally botched that.
	He totally botched that.
	He didn't necessarily run on it, but he mentioned multiple times.
	Do you think that somebody told him that he was turning on that?
	Maybe that shot had something to do with it, too.
	But like the shot at his head, you know what I mean?
	And so I won't say it was his top issue, but he said multiple times we're going to release it all.
	And then when he got in office, well, this might scandalize some people who don't deserve it.
	And then at every turn, it's been a misstep.
	And then all of a sudden he said, well, it's only because of me.
	It came out wrong.
	That's a lie.
	He put pressure on Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, other people not to sign the discharge position.
	They kept the newly elected rep from Arizona, who's Gravalga's daughter or whatever, out of the house just so she couldn't sign the discharge petition.
	So they could vote.
	Well, see, what they're trying to do is they're trying to make it a matter of salacious sexuality, okay?
	And we don't want to hurt these girls and whatnot.
	Well, and basically the big thing.
	Good for Boebert for staying in there because she didn't leave and she's not resigned.
	But then on the other hand, what they're doing, though, James and Ralph is this.
	They are trying to make sure that nobody takes it one step further and says this was a Jewish operation to use extortion and blackmail against dissenters to the Jewish party line.
	And that's what they're scared of.
	And see, when you see this Italian hand behind everything, you know, the Italian hand.
	Who wrote that story?
	Go ahead.
	Well, let me tell you, yeah, we can say, but it's a, yeah, it could be the Israeli hand.
	But what I'm saying, though.
	It might be.
	But they don't talk much about the Jewish gangsters is all I'm saying.
	There were Italian.
	Anyway, go ahead.
	That's separate.
	Yeah, well, whatever is going on.
	The thing is, they just do not want people connecting those dots.
	And the longer you keep this going, and once you find out who was benefiting, Cooey Bono, as Pat Buchanan used to say all the time, who benefits from it, it's the same people.
	Keith, we got music playing.
	We only have two headsets here at MQM, and Keith had one of them tonight.
	Hopefully, we have an in-studio guest.
	And so we're going to take a break.
	I'm going to give you all of the official reasons for her abrupt and really radical decision to resign.
	And then we'll continue to speculate because that's more fun.
	Stay tuned.

	Scott Bradley here.
	Most Americans are painfully aware that the nation is on the wrong track and in dire straits.
	Unfortunately, most political pundits only nibble around the edges when they claim to address the issues.
	Even worse, many of the so-called solutions are simply rewarmed servings of what got us into the mess we currently face.
	And the politicians think we're so gullible and naive that we'll buy their lies that they have reformed and now understand where they led us astray.
	Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that they simply wish to continue to hold power.
	The solution to America's challenges is found in returning to the timeless principles found in the United States Constitution.
	My book and lecture series will reawaken in Americans an understanding and love of the principles which made this nation the freest, most prosperous, happiest, and most respected nation on earth.
	Visit topreservethenation.com and order my book and lectures to begin the restoration of this great nation.
	And we are back, and I am beginning to lament the fact that time is fleeting for this show tonight.
	We are already through two hours, halfway nearly through a third.
	Ethan, I'm going to be sad when the last grain of sand falls from this hourglass.
	You've had a good time tonight here on TPC and in Memphis this weekend.
	I have had an amazing time.
	It's been years since I've been back to my home.
	I don't know if I said this earlier.
	I think I did.
	But I said to him for sure in private a year before my mom died, she said, I just want to go home, son.
	And there's no place like home.
	It's true.
	Well, Thomas Wolfe was wrong.
	You can go home with me.
	Talk about that.
	Hey, so tell me about it.
	All right, real quick, because we've got to get back on Marjorie Taylor Green.
	But Majority Black City, crime-infested.
	It's rough.
	It's home.
	And there's only one place I will have ever been born where my grandparents moved to to find work back in the 50s where they had their kids, where my parents met.
	This is home.
	For better or worse, there'll never be another one of those.
	But interesting conversation at the rendezvous today.
	We'll get back to Marjorie Taylor Greene, the official reasons for her resignation, and we'll let Keith and Ethan respond to that.
	But we were talking a little bit about Pat Buchanan's friendship with a very interesting character, and that led to Tom Wolfe.
	So what were we talking about?
	We were talking about a hero of mine.
	Maybe not a hero for some of your audience, Hunter S. Thompson.
	And he's credited with inventing gonzo journalism.
	And I'm a big fan of that.
	I've done some of that.
	I consider my show a bit of that, actually.
	But that's a branch of new journalism.
	And Tom Wolf is considered the king of new journalism.
	And when I mentioned Hunter, and Hunter was great friends with Pat Buchanan.
	If you read Fear and Loathing on the campaign trail, 1972, there's all kinds of dialogues between the two.
	There was a pretty famous story back during the Nixon era of Pat and Hunter S. Thompson going into a hotel room.
	Shelly, Pat's wife, was in there, and they...
	Pat and his wife?
	Yeah.
	They were...
	They were going nuts on a bottle of wild turkey or something like that.
	But see, Pat was the favorite dinner date or dinner.
	If any left-winger in Washington, they wanted to go out with Pat.
	Everybody loved Pat.
	The right, the left, even the left, Hunter S. Thompson, Hunter, all of them said he was the most interesting guy to talk with, to drink with, to go to dinner with.
	Everybody wanted to talk to Pat Buchanan.
	Yeah, it's really interesting.
	They were friends.
	Hunter's dead now, but throughout his whole life, there's exchanges.
	And I think Buchanan was actually at his funeral, which was kind of ornate.
	They shot him out of a cannon.
	Johnny Depp paid $5 million to fire him out of a cannon or whatever.
	But, yeah, Hunter S. Thompson, a bit of a hero of mine.
	I know he's a liberal degenerate or whatever.
	It's just one of the conversations we had.
	But today.
	He named Tom Wolfe.
	Yeah.
	He named Tom Wolfe, which is new journalism, which is closely related to Gonzo journalism.
	Gonzo's a spin-off from it.
	Well, the only one I've read was Faron Lowe being on the campaign trail or whatever.
	Yeah, that was gold.
	So back to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	The reasons that they are giving, the official reasons Ethan and Keith, they are giving.
	And I'm going to read them, and then you tell me which one you believe if you believe any of them.
	All right, so here's the reasons for her.
	Abrupt resignation from Congress.
	One of the most highly publicized members of Congress.
	I mean, you know, you've got hundreds of U.S. entities in the House around the world.
	Nobody knows them outside of their district.
	Their district doesn't even know them.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene may be the most well-known AOC.
	I mean, you know, there's a few, but she's on that level.
	She's a plus list of members of the House.
	The reasons she resigned, the break with Trump, the story reads, Green, one of Trump's strongest allies, clashed with him over policy differences, including foreign policy, ergo, U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza, and potential military actions against Iran, immigration, artificial intelligence regulations, and especially the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein-related files.
	She pushed for full transparency on the Epstein documents and accused the administration of delays or obstruction before Trump finally signed a related bill.
	Reason number two, refusal to face a primary challenge.
	She stated she did not want to subject her district.
	She did a 10-minute video.
	You can see it on Twitter.
	I still call it Twitter.
	You can see it there, a 10-minute resignation video that she did not want to subject her district to a hurtful and hateful Trump-backed primary fight.
	I don't really buy into that.
	She said she felt like a battered wife in a one-sided loyalty dynamic.
	And by the way, when Trump was on trial in New York, she flew up there and supported him.
	She was on the ground.
	And that is how loyalty works with Trump.
	It is a one-way street.
	And that is the truth.
	Frustration with the party in Washington, another reason.
	Green expressed that loyalty should be, well, I just said this, a two-way street, accused GOP leadership of sidelining conservative priorities.
	And she says she felt a cast aside in favor of establishment influences like the neocons, big pharma, big tech, military, industrial war complex.
	I could buy into that.
	Final reason, personal and family considerations.
	I think, Keith, you touched on that.
	She emphasized that she wanted to, I'm going to read the exact statement.
	She wanted to return to her family, live life fully, and pursue a new path outside of Congress.
	AKA, she wanted to just survive it all, maybe.
	I don't know.
	But it is strange.
	Do you buy into any of those reasons?
	I'm sure there's a kernel of truth into some of them, maybe all of them, but there has to be more for her to abruptly resign and force largely.
	She doesn't want Georgia to have to go through this, that, or the other, but she does want them to go through a special election.
	That's weird.
	It's complete BS, I'll say here, for the radio.
	I mean, maybe there's a kernel of truth, like he said, but anytime a politician says they want to spend more time with their family, you wouldn't be in politics if you wanted to do that.
	All right.
	Not elected politics, right?
	And so I'll just read her quote because I alluded to it earlier.
	A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves.
	She said, standing in front of Mr. Epstein's victims, a patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.
	Now, that's an insanely powerful statement, and she just totally flipped the script on Trump.
	And she supported him like a mad woman for years, and he turned his back so quick, he's disloyal.
	I don't know what else to say.
	Well, when you hit the nail on the head, you drive it straight, as they say.
	And that's what she did.
	That is the perfect response.
	Trump is unfortunately a toady to Jewish interests.
	He's not unique in that.
	No.
	So is Mike Johnson.
	So is Ted Cruz.
	So is Chuck Schumer and so many of these other people.
	You know, that is one thing that the Republicans and Democrats can agree upon, that everybody needs to bend the knee to Jewish power and influence.
	And that is what is happening.
	Our nation is no longer obedient to its founding principles because of that.
	For example, George Washington said, warned us in his farewell address about foreign entanglements and favorite nation status for foreign nations and fighting in foreign wars.
	Well, all of those things are priorities of Israel.
	And that's what we are doing.
	That's what we've been doing ever since the Twin Towers came down, fighting all of these Middle Eastern wars that benefit Israel and do not benefit the United States.
	In fact, basically, they're the reason why it's dangerous for Americans to travel abroad now.
	You know, it used to not be.
	Everybody liked Americans, but now because of this, I would recommend that nobody go to a Middle Eastern nation or a Muslim nation because, you know, you're going to get tarred with the same brush of these people.
	They're not going to listen to your protest that you had nothing to do with it.
	But because of that, our freedoms are being curtailed.
	Our money is being squandered.
	And it's a plus, we're losing any credibility as being a righteous and moral nation by doing this.
	I can't say anything except I agree.
	100,000% with what you said there.
	I did want to mention this because I brought it up earlier.
	I've read excerpts from this book, and I couldn't remember the name.
	It's called Between Dixie and Zion, Southern Baptists and Palestine Before Israel.
	And it's a little bit of a lib writer who wrote the book, but they go through the evolution from there's debates within Southern Baptists, you know, influencers and Truman and all these people about Zionism, how much they should support it, how much they shouldn't.
	And then it shifts to unconditional support.
	The only notable person who is outspokenly against that position is Chuck Baldwin, a Southern Baptist preacher.
	He's great.
	He had a huge mega church in Pensacola.
	Now he moved up to Court Lane where everybody else had moved up to us.
	But, you know, I love the Southern Baptists, grew up in a small Southern Baptist church, but we were talking about this last night.
	Of course, the whole reason there is even anything called Southern Baptist and not just Baptist is because of the schism, the split that occurred over an issue prior to the war between the states over whether or not slaveholders could be missionaries.
	That is the issue that gave birth to the Southern Baptist Convention, the Southern Baptist denomination, which is still to this day the largest Protestant denomination in the world.
	But they are cucked out, and I mean something fierce.
	But I loved growing up at the Southern Baptist Church.
	My pastor was as good as any Christian man leader clergy could ever be.
	Well, people that took to that anti-Bellum position that slave owners could not be.
	Well, I know, but then, you know, find the part of the Bible in which they decry slavery.
	Moral Margaret.
	It doesn't exist.
	Actually, we got music.
	Yeah, that gives you instructions on how to treat them.
	We'll be right back.
	We got a timeout.

	News this hour from Town Hall.
	I'm Mary Rose.
	There has been an abduction of hundreds of children in Nigeria.
	More than 300 children, boys and girls ages 10 to 18, have been abducted by gunmen in Nigeria.
	The Christian Association of Nigeria says the kidnapping happened during an attack on a Catholic school in the north central part of the country.
	Earlier, it was thought that a little more than 200 school children were taken.
	The kidnapping in Niger State happened four days after 25 school children were seized in neighboring Keby State.
	No group has claimed responsibility for the abductions, and authorities say tactical squads have been deployed alongside local hunters to rescue the children.
	I'm Donna Water.
	A.J. Antonio, chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, says Trump economic policies are undoing the damage of the Biden years.
	You had all of this job growth, but it was in government or it was going to foreign-born workers, not actually native-born Americans getting employed.
	And today it's exactly the opposite.
	Antoni made his comments to the Salem Radio Network.
	Lawyer and National Review columnist Andrew McCarthy says one casualty of releasing the Epstein files could be the loss of confidentiality granted to grand jury witnesses.
	If it becomes the thought of people that if I cooperate with the government and give them stuff about me that may be embarrassing, even if it's not criminal, what's my assurance that a year from now or three years from now, because a bunch of politicians in Washington decide that they're curious about it, that my confidentiality will be preserved.
	Republican Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia, a once loyal supporter of President Trump's, has become a critic and announcing she is resigning from Congress in January.
	Green, in a more than 10-minute video, posted late last night explaining her decision.

	Folks, as you know, as of last month, on October the 26th of this year, I eclipsed, we eclipsed the 21-year mark of doing this show.
	But I can tell you that even after all these years, I am regretting the fact that we have only two segments left with Ethan Ralph and this particular show sitting here with Keith and Ethan in the studio, right here at the station, doing it live, doing it real, doing it raw.
	A combustible combination.
	We had just a few things.
	I knew I wanted to talk a little bit to Ethan about, you know, his pilot that he filmed.
	I wanted to talk a little bit about, you know, our time in Memphis.
	And then I just had in my notes, Marjorie Taylor Green, Chuck Schumer.
	And the whole three hours just blossomed from there.
	And, you know, Ethan, I remind you a lot about my first time on the Kill Stream, how much I enjoyed that, even if all the guest appearances I've done on all these different shows.
	What about tonight?
	And then we got to get back to Marjorie Taylor Green and then we'll wrap it up.
	Well, I shook James's hand after the last segment.
	You know, I've done a lot of shows myself, but this is my favorite show in a while.
	And one of my favorite shows ever.
	And we're all three Medfins.
	We're all three Southerners.
	And we all three get along.
	You know, break some, I don't know if I can say that word on air.
	We raz each other here a little bit or whatever.
	San Paper Wild can't say it.
	You know, but that's great.
	I think it's made for great radio tonight.
	And again, an honor.
	This show means so much to me personally.
	I knew about this show well before I ever even thought about the kill stream.
	And Pat Buchanan, personal hero, along with Hunter as Thompson.
	But it's kind of like the yin and the yang.
	And so.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, Pat just turned 87 earlier this month.
	God bless him.
	God bless him.
	Yeah, amen.
	Amen and amen, as we used to say on Sundays.
	So back to Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation.
	Ethan, you were talking about loyalty.
	So was she.
	Trump responded positively to the news, calling it great news for the country in interviews and in posts while claiming her poll numbers were dropping and attributing the rift to unreturned calls and complaints.
	Her resignation, which is a midterm resignation in a solidly Republican district, will trigger a special election, as we mentioned, to fill the seat next year.
	This marks a dramatic end to her five years in Congress where she rose as a prominent MAGA figure, but increasingly positioned herself as an America first critic of both parties.
	Which, again, ties us back into the content of the second hour.
	Now, I will raise one other possibility that I didn't mention earlier.
	Maybe she's planning on running for president.
	Now, I don't know if she could win, but, you know, it's usually never a downside if you can have a nice performance in that field.
	I'll tell you what, she could be.
	She could be the, what's the lady's name from Hawaii?
	Tulsi Gabbard.
	She could be the Tulsi Gabbard of the Republican Party, just like Tulsi Gabbard was the outspoken critic of the Democrats.
	You can be the Tulsi Gabbard of the Republican Party.
	It's better to have a seated position of power, though.
	I mean, you know, Tulsi got appointed to a position.
	I think somebody threatened her life.
	Something weird.
	Something is going on that we do not know.
	Whether she has a better offer or whether she has been scared to death or something.
	I don't think it's just because she's had a falling out with Trump and that she may or may not lose a primary.
	I don't think she would lose a primary, but something more than meets the eye is going on here.
	This is really nigh unprecedented in politics for someone of that level of fame and credibility.
	It doesn't add up.
	Something is definitely happening.
	Like I said, maybe she's planning for bigger things, governor or senator or president.
	Just very quickly, Ethan and I are sharing a mic tonight.
	Keith's on his own mic because we have to pot him up a little bit.
	Ethan and I are pretty much at the same level.
	We only have two mics here.
	But wouldn't it be easier if she was planning something above and beyond, spending more time with family to springboard from a position of power rather than just a citizen?
	Well, okay, so there's another thought to that.
	Maybe she thinks she might actually lose a primary.
	So you don't want to take an L if you're going to try to run for a bigger office.
	So that could be it.
	Or it could just be they threaten to kill her.
	I mean, that could be it, too.
	So I don't know.
	There's a lot.
	Something's going on we don't know about because just a couple days ago, she's called Trump and Trump's razor.
	Occam's razor.
	The simplest explanation is usually the correct.
	I know Occam's Razor.
	Do you know Pascal's Wager?
	Pascal's Wager.
	I've heard of it, but I'm not recovering.
	Well, I won't get into it, but I just wanted to match Witz a little bit.
	Still sharpens steel, my boys.
	But so here again, Brad Griffin, who we always cite on TPC pretty much weekly, but he was on your show just a few days ago.
	When Donald Trump leaves office in 2029, he will leave behind a cohort of worthless Republicans in Congress like Randy Fine, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Mike Johnson, and Byron Donalds, who flattered his ego, but who won't inspire the coalition he built to turn out and vote for them.
	Trump himself will never appeal on the ballot.
	Will never again appear on the ballot to lift the GOP.
	MAGA was a cult of personality, not an ideological movement.
	It was always about Trump.
	He had the opportunity over five election cycles to build a bench in Congress and leave behind a legacy to survive his presidency, and he blew it.
	It's sad that it happened, but it was somewhat predictable and illustrates why the right desperately needs a new leadership that is not based on a Vaucas cult of personality.
	And again, I say this, Ethan, as a guy who voted for Trump three times.
	I think he's done great things this year.
	There's a lot of things about Trump that I have liked, I do like, I still like, but this is a major blunder, and Brad is right.
	He favors the sycophants, even people who oppose really everything he stands for.
	Insist on having sycophants.
	You cannot survive in Trump world if you're not a sycophant.
	He's always been that way.
	He's always favored the sycophants.
	As I used to say in the South, he's often in air, but never in doubt.
	That's right.
	And I'll say, tax-free.
	You know, I like tax-free tips.
	That's a big part of my income.
	Super chats are tips, actually.
	So, yeah, there's some things I like, but man, for me, it's not about the money.
	And, you know, I need enough money to live.
	But to me, the big, beautiful bill was a bunch of big, beautiful BS.
	And that's when he really started going down.
	That bill was bogus.
	And then he got totally Zionized if he wasn't already, which he was.
	He had to be.
	You cannot become a success in real estate development in New York City without it.
	You can't.
	I mean, I agree.
	Well, people say that was the deal.
	He had to give Israel everything they wanted in the Middle East, and they would give him immigration.
	They would give him some things here domestically that would buoy his chances of winning.
	That is politics.
	I don't, you know, you can like it.
	You can dislike it.
	You can, as a couple of our favorite Jews, Simon and Garfunkel said, you can laugh about it, shout about it when you got the Jews.
	And I did, I actually, I met Art Garfunkel.
	He was the first performer at the Bartlett Performing Arts Center.
	Well, I remember he said, I've been something in Art Garfunkel in one of their songs.
	He had some crazy hair, but they had some good songs.
	They were some introspective.
	That was great.
	Sound of Silence, Homeward Bound.
	Come on, give me some more.
	Oh, Bridge Over Troubled Water.
	That was one.
	That was a one.
	They had more than that.
	Said, I am a Rock.
	Let me see.
	Let me see.
	The 59th Street Bridge song.
	Feeling groovy.
	Yeah.
	I like Bob Dylan a little bit more.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Wait a minute now.
	Okay, wait a minute now.
	From that era, that's my favorite Jew artist, actually.
	Positively 4th Street.
	Oh, you deserve it.
	I just jumped out of my chair.
	And if you listen to that song, clearly, it's about a woman, by the way.
	Yeah.
	A really nasty woman, as Trump would say.
	Somehow that resonates with Ralph.
	I have no idea why I love that song.
	It's my top 10 songs ever.
	Well, we got it.
	Speaking of nasty women, when your kill stream ended last night, it ended on a sort of abrupt note, sort of like Marjorie Taylor Greene's career.
	Remember?
	So he ran out of data, and it just ended abruptly while the black ladies.
	Yeah, a black lady came up and anyway.
	Well, but anyway, I mean, you know, but they did come up and anyway, but it just ended there.
	But she left, but it didn't end.
	She's going to put something on the granny's last soap couldn't wash off.
	If you're on Bill Street, if you're in Memphis, you're going to run into black men and women.
	And we ran into black men and women.
	We talked to the men and the women.
	And they saw something was going on and they kind of flocked over.
	And we had black Hebrews and anyway.
	That sounds like our worst nightmare.
	Black Hebrews arrives.
	One day we'll tell.
	Look, I'm saving the finale.
	We had an interesting time last night, and I'm saving that for a rainy day.
	Yeah, there is some stuff that you're going to have to buy Ethan's memoirs about to read.
	There's some things we haven't mentioned on the show.
	Nothing bad that James did, by the way, at all.
	Don't call me Straight Arrow.
	We'll be right back.

	CallForCivility.com One segment left.
	You know, Ethan, done some hits on network news items.
	Everybody knows the first time with CNN hour long.
	Jesse Lee Peterson and I, and there was two other people on the other side of the table, Paula Zahn in the middle.
	We went for a full hour.
	Then another time I was on, I was debating the president of the NAACP about the Knoxville horror murders, the murders of Channel Christian and Christopher Newsome.
	We went for like a three-minute hit, and it was over.
	I'm just getting started.
	I'm done.
	Tonight has gone by too fast.
	Three hours, and we've moved at a sloth's pace.
	I mean, we covered why you're in Memphis, what we did the first hour, second hour, Chuck Schumer, this hour, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	Could you imagine being one of these network news people, and you have to cover in one hour like 15 different stories?
	I've loved taking our time tonight and just really relishing in the moment and in the stories and in the conversation and just doing a deep dive, really.
	Well, would I like being one of those people?
	Well, maybe the money.
	But other than that, no.
	I feel like, you know, I sympathize.
	I try to be empathetic, actually, with everyone.
	You know, people, most people are stupid, just to be real with you.
	And their attention spans are short.
	And so having long discussions about complex subjects is really not in vogue these days.
	That's why everything's slipped down.
	Even Fuentes, even me.
	Like, you know, you'll see a clip of something two, three minutes long.
	Okay.
	Two, three hours long.
	But, Keith, you'll like this because we have a slightly older demographic.
	We can do a three-hour show.
	And they stay tuned the whole time.
	And I love them all.
	Folks, let me just tell you how much I love you again.
	I mean, all these years we've been doing this together.
	You are our family.
	We always say TPC's audience is a listening family, our family.
	The conferences we've done, I mean, this year, the Wheel to Power conference, last year, the 20th anniversary conference, all the conferences before.
	Every single person I've ever met from this audience has instantly, and I mean, immediately felt like they were part of the Edwards family.
	And what they like about it is that we will, as my wife's grandfather used to say, call a spade a dirty shovel.
	I don't know what it is, but it has worked out.
	God's will be done.
	God's will be done.
	But so anyway, we've covered it all.
	Ethan's trip to Tennessee, why he was here, what we've done in Memphis, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Chuck Schumer, Nick Fuentez.
	And with, you know, this last segment, I really just feel like we need to end on a little more fun note.
	Hey, next week when we come back, it'll be the first Saturday after Thanksgiving.
	And you know what that means?
	Lane Kiffin is going to decide.
	He's gone, bro.
	I don't know.
	They're saying that today.
	We'll see.
	I told you.
	I told you.
	I told Ethan.
	I said, we were at Waffle House pre-show before you got to the studio tonight, Keith.
	And I said, the last three or four weeks, man, Keith's found a way to work Lane Kiffen in, unprompted and unsolicited.
	I said, he'll probably do it tonight.
	Here we are.
	LSU fans sent me, it ended up being a parody post, but saying he'd already signed with the LSU or whatever.
	But then I looked up on CBS Sports.
	He is being offered like $98 million.
	That's not it.
	Let me tell you what.
	Did you take $98 million to leave TPC?
	I'd seriously consider it.
	So you can't complain about Giffin then if he leaves all this.
	Listen, listen.
	He doesn't do business during the season.
	But we're always in season.
	Well, I'll tell you: the ultimate argument is that both LSU and Florida are hot messes, okay?
	And see what happened.
	Look at this.
	Urban Meyer.
	I'm going to give it to you right now.
	Urban Meyer won the national championship in 2009.
	He was the coach at Florida, and he resigned.
	If you ever wonder why I keep winning, there's too much pressure.
	If you ever wonder, if you ever wonder if I peace out on a Saturday night, check Old Miss's home schedule.
	People say this: roll-tide roll.
	Hey, round the hole and down the bowl.
	Old Miss better win the championship this season because you may not pass this away again, Keith.
	I got to say, hey, but Landry Kiffen will always look good, though.
	Oh, she will.
	Oh, she will.
	He wants to say it old Miss Black.
	That doesn't bode well.
	It doesn't bode well, but I bet he's having a fun time.
	He's trolling the hell out of LSU in Florida right now, I guarantee you.
	All right, we'll see Old Miss 2.
	Well, no, so the AD said he had an ultimatum to say yay or nay, and he still hasn't come in.
	So is he trolling?
	Kingfish said on Amy Sandy, he gave him an old tomato.
	This has been amazing.
	Next week, folks, you're going to hear the sounds of the season.
	You're going to hear all of our favorites.
	You're going to hear Good King Winceslist.
	You're going to hear Do You Hear What I Hear?
	The Johnny Mathis version, of course, and plenty of the runners.
	Santa Claus was a black man.
	That was a great one.
	Plenty of the Ronettes.
	A lot of Ronettes.
	The Christmas song.
	Wait, what's the name of the Chestnuts watching on the show?
	Now, first off, Santa Claus is coming to town.
	By the Jackson 5.
	That's one of the better ones.
	Elvis.
	Oh, I like the one.
	Why Can't Every Day Be Like Christmas?
	And the other one is Blue Christmas.
	You're that.
	All right.
	Well, let's do this here then.
	So, with two or three minutes right, hey, Ethan, give us all your contacts.
	Give us all that information here.
	And you are going to post this, I believe, as an after-the-fact interview on the Killstream for everybody there to listen.
	Give us the contact information.
	And then we're going to have two more minutes of fun, but we've got to move quick.
	Yes.
	Follow me at The Ralph Retort on X, as I am supposed to call it, but it's Twitter.
	Just search Killstream on Rumble.
	That's my main spot.
	And those are really the two main spots.
	If you want to email me, killstream team at gmail.com.
	Justin here in Memphis writes, Great show.
	Will you let Keith Alexander know that I wish him a happy Thanksgiving?
	He is great.
	Also, will you play the little drummer boy?
	Well, I will tell you, the little Justin, we call him the man because that's what he is.
	That's who he is.
	And we will play the Little Drummer Boy between now and New Year's.
	I can guarantee you that.
	But a lot of great oldies.
	But not as many times as Santa Claus was a black man.
	I'm not going to disgrace our Christmas.
	I'm not going to disgrace our intros with that filth.
	I'm not doing that.
	I actually did see a black Santa at a hobby lobby the other day, but we're not doing that one.
	I can promise you we're not doing that one.
	Darlene Love, Christmas.
	That's what I was trying to say.
	Best Christmas song ever.
	That is a Phil Specter record.
	Darlene Love, who was Danny Glover's wife in the Lethal Weapons series.
	That is, now, I'm not talking about the spiritual hymns of Christmas like Joy to the World and all that.
	But for pop music, I've said this for many years, Keith, as my witness.
	That is the best Christmas song ever.
	We agree.
	100% best Christmas song ever.
	Christmas Baby, please come up.
	Christmas Baby, please come.
	Probably here comes Santa Claus.
	Christmas Baby, here comes every day, be like, Darlene Love, 1963.
	That is a Phil Specter record.
	The wall of sound.
	Yeah, he did the Ronettes.
	He did Darlene Love.
	He did a lot of them.
	All right.
	Best Elvis song ever.
	One song.
	Well, you can do Old Elvis and New Elvis.
	I would say Old Elvis, Burning Love, New, excuse me, New Elvis, Burning Love, Old Elvis, Return to Cinder.
	I'd say jailhouse rock for old, and new one would be You're Olds On My Mind.
	I'd say can't help falling in love, and I'd say go to double HE Double Hockey Sticks, Miss Ma'am.
	I don't even know what that means.
	I don't even know what that means.
	That was an insider reference on my radio.
	If I was on my show, but yeah, can't help falling in love.
	I think I'd love to pick that 61.
	That was blue.
	Suspicious Minds, too.
	But that one has a special place in my heart and in the black heart of another person.
	The Dago ones you did, like, It's Now or Never.
	Console Me Ty.
	And all darling, surrender.
	The comeback special, though, that's the best.
	That was Memphis.
	Yeah, that was it.
	Yeah.
	He was in the Kentucky Rain and Suspicious Minds.
	Yeah, Suspicious Mind is probably the top one.
	Yeah.
	He never lacked for hits.
	If you ever go to Graceley, you see that gold record, that hall of gold records.
	There's a lot.
	You know, I confess that I have contributed to Colette's restaurant.
	What a feeling came over me.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	I got stung.
	Yeah.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	I can do this all night.
	It's got to end now.
	The music's about to play.
	Stay tuned for Scoopstead and the fourth hour.
	When I walk through that door, baby, be polite.
	You're going to make me sore.
	If you don't greet me right, don't you ever kiss me once.
	Kiss me twice.
	Treat me nice.
	Thank you, both gentlemen.
	It's been a pleasure.
	Kill stream.
	That's all I can say.
	And I'll be back, I'm sure.
	I hope so.
	Yeah, be sure to do that.
	Keith already invited you to his Christmas party next week if you come back from Mexico by then.
	I know the music's about to play.
	I know it's about to play.
	I'm looking at the clock, but it ain't playing yet.
	Devil in the sky is also a good one.
	Following Mayor, boy.
	We love the King here in Memphis.
	Right there from that part of Northwest Mississippi where my ancestors hail.
	From Carrin, from Ponastock, from Pylo playing backyard football with an old Miss shirt on.
	Lane, please stay at Ole Mist just for Keith.
	For Elvis, for Keith, for everybody.
	You don't want to go to LSU or Florida.
	It's a hot market if you would go to LSU.
	David Duke would like.
	So would my uncle, but Irvin Meyer had to bail out on Florida after he won the national championship.
	Well, they were stressing him so bad.
	See you at Christmastime, folks.
	That's next week.
	A week from the night.
	It's Christmas time on TPC for the next month for the rest of the year.
