Tim riffs at length on the Ellen DeGeneres show sexual misconduct allegations, comparing the toxic workplace to Fox News and Abu Ghraib, and imagining Ellen dancing obliviously while abuse happens backstage.
- Tim opens by asking what's happening at Ellen, describing the workplace as a free-for-all with sexual deviants making employees uncomfortable.
- Ellen DeGeneres has been running a rape room in the back of her show, he claims, juxtaposing the dark allegations against the cheerful on-air persona.
- Thirty-six former employees corroborated incidents of sexual misconduct involving multiple executive producers at the Ellen show.
- Tim contrasts the 36 assaults at Ellen with Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly's scandals at Fox News, noting Ellen didn't even reach those numbers of victims.
- Employees complained to Ellen about Kevin Lehmann and Ed Glavin getting handsy, but she just stared back with a stone face because she's a CIA asset, he suggests.
- Ellen sits next to George W. Bush yukking it up about abu Ghraib while Hillary Clinton comes on the show to promote wars, with women screaming in the background.
- The dancing on the Ellen show is the official silencing mechanism—turn the music up so you don't hear the women crying for help.
- Ellen came out on her ABC sitcom, which Tim applauds, but then she joined the CIA and ran a daytime show masking abuse behind meaningless conversation and dancing.
- Her discrimination when she came out of the closet apparently led her to set up a talk show with abu Ghraib happening in the background dressing room.
- The Ellen DeGeneres dressing room is a regular abu Ghraib—dogs, naked people stacked together, photos of torture in the back while she dances on stage.
- Tim closes by emphasizing this is what's actually going on behind the scenes at Ellen.
