Ted Turner was controversial, eccentric, wildly imperfect — and undeniably one of the last great American builders. CNN, TBS, the Braves, Turner Classic Movies… the man changed media, sports, and culture through sheer force of vision. And whether you agreed with his politics or not, he represented something America is losing fast: the belief that people should be free to succeed beyond their wildest dreams… and free to fail.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why the far left and far right are becoming more alike than different
• How COVID exposed a growing addiction to government handouts across the political spectrum
• Why Occupy Wall Street was a missed opportunity for defenders of real capitalism
• How both parties now embrace forms of populist economic control
• Why younger generations increasingly distrust free markets after 2008
• How billionaires like Carnegie, Ted Turner, and others once reinvested privately into society
And why America desperately needs leaders willing to defend economic freedom again.
