The Authorized Lie That Wasn’t | 09-29-2025

Lionel talks about the recent indictment of James Comey, which Lionel argues is a legally weak and politically motivated case that is destined for dismissal because the perjury charge hinges on the single word “authorize,” and the key witness against Comey is unreliable. The show also covers the political withdrawal of Eric Adams from a the NYC Mayor racerace, the psychological phenomenon of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and theLionel’s general disdain for what he perceives as a lack of truth and an abundance of “stupid” commentary in public discourse. Lionel emphasizes the importance of separating facts from commentary and critiques what he sees as poor political appointments and a decline in societal standards, often engaging in lively, and sometimes aggressive, debates with callers about legal concepts and political loyalty.
