Ted Turner: A dreamer, not a quitter

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2018
- You need a wide lens on your camera to capture the many sides of Ted Turner, especially out on his sprawling, 113,000-acre ranch near Bozeman, Montana. Owner of a TV station and sports franchises, creator of CNN, America's Cup yacht racer, rancher, environmental advocate, and politically incorrect mouthpiece, Turner sits down with Special Contributor Ted Koppel for a candid discussion about how he fulfilled more ambitions than many people could ever dream of, and how, nearing 80, he is facing a decline brought about by Lewy body dementia.

My son is a contract fly fishing guide for 15 years at Turners Ranch when he has outings....said he is really cool and very giving
There’s never been anyone cooler.
You lose hope in America and then you see this....what a country.
And now we have guys like you hiding in a woman burka in public forums.
@@rareview362 Socialist trash
@@rareview362 : Do you think he needs that ranch to make money. At least he's bringing back the bison.
Belin Gonza exactly, I love what Ted Turner is doing helping the environment.
Nahh I lose hope when I see stupid and hateful commentary such as yours.
Koppel let Turner's dignity shine through in this interview. Well done, both Teds, well done.
uggh
So many could learn from that.
Little known fact about Ted. He has donated A live bison (buffalo) to the Univ of Colorado for many years as our mascot. Currently on Ralphie V. Thank you Ted.
Steve Marvel I went to CU boulder back in the early 90s. Ted and Jane used to fly in to boulder all the time. Janes son went to CU .
Teddy Junior. A glorious, breath-taking, handsome, wild, but fair, hairy, majestic, cold-eyed, beast of the universe. And the buffalos were also, from time to time, known to help formulate the TBS programing schedule ever since 1981.
Excellent work by Ted Koppel!
It really was.
Koppel could teach them a lot.
I'm from the UK and didn't know much about Ted Turner but I'm now googling like mad. What a guy!
Same here. He is what Trump supporters think Donald Trump is.
@@aminman15 Only Ted Turner is the real deal - not that fake piece of trash that Trump is.
At McCallie, in high school he hired classmates to dress him in his cadet uniform,carry and place him on the field.. He won best dressed cadet, according to classmate Frank Groves. Groves worked with me in the D A's Office
Ted Turner: A legend
Paweł Wend that’s trump. 😁
Praying for him and damn proud of Koppel for his dignified classy interview!
think
if you took all the assets
and Ted Turner has
and you use them all for the synergistic good of all the people of America
what would we do
we put PTSD dogs all over that land and train ourselves how to motivate. properly behave
with those dogs
Together
With
those dogs
make friends with the rest of the world.
An American icon , the guy represents all what America stands for. Thanks Mr Turner, horses, land, baseball ⚾️, and 📺 televisión.
Freedom
And rasslin'. I miss that the most.
Thanks for not including decency, respect, compassion, democracy, and leaving the world better than you found it in your lists.
Great piece, I only wish it was longer.
I met Ted Turner on the sidewalk in downtown Atlanta in the early 90's. He was so funny, kind and gracious to me and was a good enough sport to pose for a picture with a bunch of giggling teenage girls. I hate to see him the way he is now. That mischievous twinkle is missing from his eyes.
I'm sure it's still there FluffyPeacock. It's just more difficult for him to conjure it up.
He's become very conservative as he got older
TheFluffyPeacock getting old is part of life. I hate getting old.
He was at the peak of his business powers then, a combination of age and setbacks have inevitably made him more guarded.
I met Ted too. Newport during the America’s Cup. We walked by each other in front of the Swedish headquarters. So I’ll always have that going for me!
Thank you Dear Ted for this poem & HAPPY 80th Birthday🙏🏻✝️🇺🇸🛐🎁 🎂
Still a small spark of the old Ted in there
This was hard to watch, but I'm glad I saw it. My heart goes out to him and his loved ones. LBD is a horrifying disease.
Such a great interview about one of the most influential men in the World. Ted Turner has truly brought News to the World at any time anywhere. He is such a LEGEND! His Land and Bison Conservation has made such a huge impact. His Moral Compass & Achievements are an Example to us all! Awe...and look at his Poem he remembered! You still Rock Ted Turner!
Thank you for giving the wrestling fans WCW!
@Dionysus he is not the one who ruined it vince russo did
@@omzimusic3385 actually it was America Online
Wcw was great from 1995 too 1999 downhill from there.
World championship wrestling is the best
@@omzimusic3385 Nah Vince Russo saved WCW from going below 2 million. It was Ted selling out WCW to America Online.
I have always been inspired by Ted Turner since I was a kid . God Bless you my friend .
I love Ted Turner- especially with his contributions to environmental causes and his channel TNT where I watch my favorite sport.
WcW
The Teds:Turner and Koppel. Both men are inspirations in their own ways. Fantastic interview. Mr.Koppell,you are a fine example of an honest,patient,gentle journalist.
Life's closures are often not pretty. Live while you can.
My dad lived in Libby, Montana .. Beautiful state! We had a cat that bred with a Bobcat! Kittens were wild things but beautiful hair on their ears! Everyone wanted one!
So hard to see him so lively for so long...I've never seen him this worn-down before :((
That literally choked me up
Me, too.
What a great interviewer. Fantastic
Oh Ted you have my heart today.
My husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia about two years ago. It's more than anything, visual spatial problems and hallucinations. The forgetfulness is short-term forgetting like in the middle of a story he knows so well. It is fatal, just can't put a time line on it. My husband has gone from being able to drive to now needing me to dress him.
I am so sorry that you are dealing with your husband going through that horrible disease .
Can you please tell us what his status is currently and how you are holding up , my dear .
chelle, you should have his methylmalonic acid level checked. He might have a low B12 at the tissue level causing his problems and the neurologist just threw this Lewy Body label on him, because he didn't know what was causing his problems. I know a guy that went to 3 different neurologists and one said he had Lewy body dementia, one said Parkinson's and another said Alzheimer's. He ended up just having an extremely low B12 tissue level. A normal B12 blood test won't show the tissue level. The only way to test this is with a methylmalonic acid test, as it will always be elevated when the B12 tissue level is low. When this acid elevates due to the low B12, it dissolves the sheaths from the nerves that contain the electrical signals and causes all sorts of problems with coordination and movement. The elevated M acid also blocks enzymes in the urea cycle that convert ammonia to urea, which causes an elevated ammonia. The elevated ammonia causes hallucinations, depression and other neurological problems. How long has he been having these problems?
Gosh... Thank you for sharing this eventuality with us I’m sorry you’re going through it but I’m so glad that you guys are together and you can be there to help your beloved husband and God bless you dear
Sad. :-(
Bless your heart and may you both have strength through this.
makes me wonder if his father had Lewy Body Dementia ~ and how many others have suffered and still suffer, being misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all. this was a well done profile. nice work ted koppel and cbs this morning. a stark reminder: age and disease are not bound by gender; social class; ethnicity; or affiliation.
His father killed himself at 53 due to stress, presumably, as Ted said in the video.
It's unlikely at 53 that he had Lewy Body Dementia, although he could have later on.
i heard what ted said. depression and suicidal thoughts are not uncommon for those with Lewy Body Dementia (as with robin williams) and genetics also plays its role - as with so many diseases. 53 is not too young to develop a multitude of severe and life threatening diseases. i'm pretty certain michael j. fox never thought he'd have to deal with a parkinson's diagnosis as such a young man - but he did.
God bless you Ted for attempting to right many of the wrongs done in America. Thank you for all your hard work.
Even with dementia Ted Turner is still smarter than most people. Great personality .
A very admirable man. One of America's best. Thank you Ted!
Lewy Body has stolen great minds and huge personalities in the likes of Robin Williams and Ted Turner.
Very nice piece by Koppel highlighting a BRAVE trailblazer. If there's anyone that can beat the odds, it is a warrior like Mr. Turner. May the odds ever be in your favor, sir.
yankeeladee02 You can’t “beat the odds” of Lewy Body Dementia.
Emma K
You are correct. I'm aware of this sad fact. My sentiments were more of a hopeful wish and prayer. 😔
Emma K must not like hopeful quotes and uplifting well wishes.
Lanisteelerocks
I realize some folks deal in "reality" versus a hope-filled lens, but
I've lost too many that I've loved and when it was a "losing battle" I never once spoke to them in a defeated reality. Giving hope and uplifting words of encouragement may lengthen their time with us. At least I HOPE so...😕
can't diagnose it until autopsy.
I have followed ted since the 70s wow what a life!
God bless this man thank you for all you’ve done
Comments on the Italian's cracked me up so much I had to replay it a couple times. Today they'd have his head for it.
I talked to a land owner last year (18), from Calgary and he said the US and Canada are at 800,000 head of Bison.
You have the courage of a warrior and the words of a poet. God Bless you Mr
Turner you're an inspiration to many. I loved your nic-name "mouth of the south" and you are a stand out student from McCallie High School. Hang in there Sir...🌺
GOD bless you Mr.Turner I respect you Sir.
He's a helluva man.
Ted has lived a life filled with success and adventure .His pioneering vision of a 24 hr cable news station succeeded. His Atlanta Braves achieved historical success , and he found success on the open ocean
A life well lived. Inspirational
Well he was able to do a lot of what he wanted in life... he only had normal ups and downs to cope with... So he has lived a blessed life.
LBD(lewy body dementia), alzheimers,mental incapacity, etc...we have it even at a young age, but we have the hope and the chance to recover from it, or to cope with it well way into middle age then perhaps to really ripe old age. Salute to you, Ted. The road to take is still for you to decide.
Great interview; Great man.
What a great man, god bless him
What an interesting genuine man.
Happy 80th Birthday Ted Turner
Bruh Tim Turner is The Owner of WCW And Founder of CNN
At 7:00, the piece shows why it's okay for our laws to emphasize environmental protections and preservations. Natural land like that is how we feed and take care of ourselves. Without that, we would never have our daily essential resources. It's okay to have restrictions against contaminants that hurt our lands.
He's just wasting the land on those horrible bison. An entire city could be built on that land and help so many people.
@@mattheww797 PIG !!!
Not only it is okay, it's essential!
@@mattheww797 yepper we could also blow up the mountains and build track housing. Lets build on everything. Nature and clean eater and air...who needs THAT
Thanks Ted Koppel for your dignity in your interview. Always liked Mr. Turner.
I'm so proud of him for protecting the bison. Their babies are the cutest thing ever.
lovely piece. Listened to the audiobook of Ted's autobiography a few years back. Highly recommend it.
Sad to see him sick and suffering
May no one wish this for you...
Thanks Ted! Keep fighting
“Hey Scott, Give Eric two hours on TNT every Monday night”
I'm so glad I clicked onto this video. Both are great men and I enjoyed it very much!❤
Ted Turner is a most extraordinary human. I cannot remember not being in awe.
Ted Turner Created Cartoon Network, The Network That Would Give Us Code Lyoko, Adventure Time & Steven Universe, and for that we Thank You.
It's shocking we're close to losing both Ted Turner and Larry King(he's 85 with health problems). These guys were broadcasting giants for many decades!
Thank you both Ted's for the interview...conversation!
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with the public. Sincere regards for a life well lived
Good God Ted Koppel is the greatest interviewer of all time
Unired - hardly
Fellow Colfax County, NM resident (Ted's impact is grand on many scales.)
💜💜💜 So glad to see this on UA-cam. Was privileged to watch it when it first aired.
Outstanding piece!
Yeah
Excellent interview
A legend of a man. God bless Ted.
I truly loved this video . Ted is a real news man he will be missed when he's gone. Walter Cronkite and other news men that were real news men.they are missed. I love what Ted did for the buffalo .
Me too
He could just have a low B12 at the tissue level that was misdiagnosed. He said he was always tired, which is a symptom of extreme B12 deficiency as is the forgetfulness. B12 can show normal in the blood for years, while being low at the tissue level. When it gets low at the tissue it causes methylmalonic acid to elevate and it causes all kinds of neurological and nerve problems. It dissolves the myelin sheaths off the nerves that contain the electrical signals. This elevated acid also blocks enzymes in the urea cycle that converts ammonia to urea, which causes ammonia levels to rise, which can cause dementia, depression, hallucinations and other problems. The only way to know your B12 tissue level, is by testing the methylmalonic acid. When B12 is low at the tissue level, this acid will always be elevated. I know a guy who went to 3 different neurologists and one said he had Lewy body dementia, another said Parkinson's and another said Alzheimer's. The guy just had a low B12 tissue level. The low B12 was being caused by an elevated free copper level. When it got high, it depleted his body of B12. Some people have a low B12 due to low stomach acid or defective intrinsic factor protein in their stomach, which are both required for absorption. Free copper is a relatively new discovery and the test is different than a serum copper test. The lab corp test number at the lab corp labs in Oklahoma is 279071. If you know someone with dementia, I would have the free copper and Methylmalonic acid blood test done, regardless of what their doctor diagnosed them with.
He got Koppel on a horse and saving Bison. Bless you Ted!
In 2019, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) celebrated its 25th anniversary during the TCM Classic Film Festival, and I was privileged to be in the audience at the TCL Theater in Hollywood when they honored the channel's namesake. Ted had made quite an effort to come to LA from Atlanta given his physical condition - to be there for the fans. Ted Koppel's interview was great, but it only scratched the surface of what Turner has done: he rescued and restored countless classic films that would have deteriorated and been lost forever if not for his efforts in acquiring the film collections of big studios like MGM. He also was a close friend of the late, great oceanographer, Jacques Cousteau, and was instrumental in seeing to it that educational programming and environmental awareness made it into America's homes. If there ever was an example of a self-made, Horatio Alger, Ted Turner is it. This was a great interview of an American icon.
I know that growing up in Atlanta in the 70s and 80s, Ted Turner was (and still is) our hero.
I feel for him, but he has lived a very charmed life and is 80 years old. So many others weren’t as fortunate. I hope he is at peace.
What an exemplar of independence this man Ted is.
I grew up in metro Atlanta watching his "rebel" dreams unfold.
I love Ted Turner So Much! I hope to cross paths with him again! I was employed by the American Cancer Society in Spokane, and represented the ACS when I met Ted as the Key Note Speaker. The then State Governor approached me & tightly grabbed ahold of me around my waist! 🥵😢🥴Ted was done speaking and he noticed the whole encounter! He approached the governor and said looks to me like this young lady doesn’t like you grabbing onto her sir and the governor just buggered off he was really creepy little guy and no one liked him but he thought he take a shot at someone he didn’t know and Ted was my hero that day we had a nice chat and it was a pleasant. Have a move to Atlanta Georgia and then hired by CNN I was going to my first day of being employed at CNN and around the corner came guess who Ted Turner he goes oh by golly are you working for us now and I said yes I am he goes well that’s fantastic it was so fun to see him again and I said you can’t possibly remember me he said I should do he said spoken Washington American Cancer Society I saved you from that creepy Governor and I giggled! I told him I liked Jane and congratulations and he giggled and so it was just a fun and counter and I certainly hope I get to see him again someday that would be wonderful hopefully in Montana my favorite state I love Montana I love my home state of Washington but I’ll tell you what Montana is something else you guys if you go there you’ve got to just spend some time is beautiful so that’s a little personal story about a Fabulous American man! God bless you all no matter what’s happening on our globe it’s really important to cherish and remember and share the fantastic things that we’ve gotten to it experience in America as Americans God bless you all reach out for your dreams bye for now!
God Bless you Ted! God Bless America & God Bless all American Ladies & Gents🇺🇸🙏🏻💃🕺🏻❤️🛐🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴
Two million acres land, fifty thousand Bison and fourteen grandchildren. I guess every each gets their share.
What a legendary man...Ted Turner is a big name.
Grew up watching the TBS superstation. I remember all the shows always started at 5 minutes after the hour or half hour.
I grew up in Montana...Ted is a Real Deal Wild Cowboy
Ted's memory seems excellent! How many older people can recite a long poem from memory???? The only other person I can recall that recited a long poem was a black woman on The DVD The Civil War / Ken Burns . She was 102 or maybe 104 years of age! Very impressive ! 🥰🥰🥰
Great man and has lived a rich life. Hard to believe he is 80. He was such a maverick in his prime, almost unstoppable and completely unapologetic. When he won the America's Cup he was on top of the world.
As a student at Ga. Tech in 1969 and 70 I lived in a small apartment on 13th St a couple blocks from the Channel 17 building. I’d walk by it to classes every morning and get a marvelous and magical feeling that somehow lifted me up during a time of national angst. I felt it must have been his aura. What else could it have been ?
Charismatic, funny, extremely smart. all the traits of an exceptional leader!
Diane Sawyer back in the day wow!!!! 😍😍😍
Ted Turner deserves much respect for an amazing and storied, legendary career. and yes: he is clearly a major-league humanist as well. I honestly hope he finds peace with Christ, mercy, and forgiveness in his last few months and years.
"They'd rather be involved in crime
making some wine
and having a good time"...
Must admit, that is funny.
What a great man.
Happy Birthday Ted, we share the same Birthday
you're a true Legend
God bless you Ted Turner. That you think first of your kids, your grandkids and this planet, when everything about your life could've made for the world's greatest narcissist... You have indeed lived your life to the fullest. You inspire. Well done thou good and faithful servant....
One evening back in the mid 90's I had just entered the lobby of a popular restaurant in Bozeman, MT. The owner was in the process of telling Ted Turner and Jane Fonda to leave his establishment. Apparently, he was a Viet Nam vet. Ted and Jane left quietly. I won't quote the owner... it was pretty harsh.
Great story 👏 thanks for the interview and the history and thank you Ted Turner for reciting the poem 👍
Truly a fascinating man.
Anyone remember the scheme he sold the elderly called, "Dare to be Great" ? He was under indictment all over the east coast but especially Fla. He's a big blow hard to me.
Hi Nancy hope you’re okay?
"I said that years ago" "I really felt that way all the time" well at least the man is honest, most people now days would just blatantly lie about saying it or say somebody "misunderstood" them.
I believe I heard him say "I really felt that way AT the time", which is also honest. Nothing wrong with changing our views as the years go on.
I love Bozeman!
Bravo!
An American hero!
Thanks Ted
AWESOME !!!! ❤️
I'm 60 this year and always admired Ted Turner ..A real American go go-getter..
Such diversity in a person; I was still under the impression Turner was bipolar and surprised to learn he is not. His uncertain future indicates that with all that wealth a person can do a great deal with it but, on the other hand, cannot take all that wealth with him when he dies.
Absolute legend.
