A discussion regarding Jane Fonda's defense of Don Lemon led to a realization that her ex-husband, CNN founder Ted Turner, is still alive despite host misconceptions that he had passed away. Turner, 86, is currently living with Lewy body dementia and recently recovered from pneumonia. The hosts attributed their confusion to the "Mandela Effect."
The hosts open the Thanksgiving broadcast from Texas and Silicon Valley, reflecting on the origins of their holiday production schedule. The strategy is modeled after Ted Turner’s WTBS Superstation, which counter-programmed major network time slots by starting movies five minutes late. This approach ensures content is available when traditional media and Hollywood go on hiatus.
The discussion reiterates that Andrew Weissman was the true architect of the Mueller report, while Mueller acted as a figurehead. Representative Devin Nunes is praised for his opening statement condemning the presence of an FBI aide during the testimony. The segment concludes with a comparison between Mueller's public appearance and a documentary depiction of Ted Turner's struggle with dementia, framing the hearing as "cruel" to an aging public servant.
The UN Foundation, funded by Ted Turner, is partnering with Thomson Reuters to train a "squadron" of journalists in 33 countries. The program aims to simplify and popularize the UN's "Sustainable Development Goals" ahead of a major summit. The hosts critique the use of subsidies to influence editorial platforms and list the high-profile board members involved, including Queen Rania and Kofi Annan.
Class Warfare, Warren Buffett's Secretary and Tax Rates
The Obama administration is accused of inciting class warfare by highlighting Warren Buffett's claim that his secretary pays a higher tax rate than he does. MoveOn.org released a commercial featuring the secretary to advocate for higher taxes on millionaires. The discussion clarifies that the discrepancy is due to capital gains tax rates versus income tax rates, while also mocking billionaire Ted Turner's complaints about selling assets.
Federal Land Sales Meme, Greek Civil Disobedience
A new media meme suggests the federal government should sell its vast land holdings in the Western U.S. to pay down the national deficit. The hosts argue this would only benefit "elites" like Ted Turner. Meanwhile, in Greece, a non-violent revolution has begun where citizens and toll collectors refuse to pay or collect government fees.
Population Control, Wealthy Elite Agendas
The hosts explore the link between global governance and population control, citing figures like David Rockefeller and Ted Turner. They discuss China's one-child policy and the theory that the wealthy elite desire a single world government to protect their assets from the instability of war.
