Hour 1: Hate Crimes Are Thought Crimes | 01-29-26

Join Lionel for an unapologetic deep dive into the legal and cultural absurdities of the modern world. Lionel dismantles the concept of hate crimes, arguing that the justice system should punish intent and action, not thoughts and motivations. He explains why adding “hate” to a charge violates due process and turns prosecutors into mind readers. The conversation shifts to a blistering critique of fading celebrities like Molly Ringwald and Marjorie Taylor Greene desperately clinging to relevance, alongside a look at the bizarre world of bad plastic surgery. Plus, listeners weigh in on political Islam, the futility of victim impact statements, and why alcohol warning labels are actually just instructions for a better buzz.
