Ryan is not having it when a caller tries to compare the stigma of being a former addict to that of being a sex offender, and he explains why - based on his coverage at ground zero of the Larry Nassar trial. Siraj Hashmi, co-host of The Habibi Brothers podcast, stops by to offer his thoughts on putting media members and politicians on his edition of 'The List' for those who need their phones taken away to prevent them from tweeting further hot garbage about Kyle Rittenhouse and the Waukesha massacre..

Drew Holden, freelance commentary writer for The New York Times, Washington Post and several other news outlets, unrolls his Twitter thread and shares his receipts on corporate media lies and distortions before, during, and after the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial. Also, food and travel writer Courtney O'Dell checks in to share her last-minute Thanksgiving recipe ideas - including those on a budget and facing empty shelves at grocery stores due to the supply chain crisis. Finally, what are words for? Ryan examines the Left's attempt to whitewash pejorative terms like 'looting' and 'sex offenders' from the American lexicon.

Shifting gears to lighter content in Friday's second hour, Leland relays the story of his 'one shining moment' on the gridiron as a youth football player that didn't go as planned. Also, his can't-miss Thanksgiving turkey recipe - along with the interesting story behind it.

The jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial acquitted him on all five counts Friday, but President Joe Biden's reaction gives fuel and oxygen to turmoil and unrest by saying he was 'angry and concerned' by the verdict.

With his disdain for pumpkin pie widely known, Leland reveals his favorite pie to have on Thanksgiving - or any time of year. Also, alternative meal options for the holiday if you're having to spend it alone. Finally, what will be the final tipping point on the mandated wearing of masks in Colorado for residents who are in the middle on the issue?

Judge Bruce E. Schroeder stuns those assembled in his courtroom by banning MSNBC for the remainder of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, pending an investigation into a freelance employee being cited for a traffic violation after apparently trying to beat a red light in tailing the bus transporting jurors back to their homes. Also, Leland recounts his experience as a worker in the Olympic Village of Atlanta during the 1996 bombing that was originally blamed on Richard Jewell by the FBI and media.

Leland is fascinated by a Chinese dissident who throws the most unexpected curve ball at a typical corporate media reporter on PBS, shutting down the idea that President Trump was an authoritarian - and suggesting it's something else about American culture that we should be worried about.

Ever since President Trump left office, comedian Bill Maher seems to have returned to the land of the sane and rational after a severe bout of Trump Derangement Syndrome - and it shows. Maher gives an insightful and incisive takedown of American youth and a concerning percentage of them who think communism just might be a good idea after all.

Leland is HOT over the arrogance and antipathy shown toward hard-working, low-income Americans by many in the leftist mainstream media on reports of runaway inflation making this Thanksgiving one of the most costly in decades.
