Hour 1: The Kabuki Theater of Political Debate | 10-17-25

Join Lionel as he eviscerates the concept of the American political “debate,” rejecting the recent candidate event involving Curtis, Cuomo, and Z as a “weird passion play,” “Kabuki theater,” and “nonsense”. Lionel argues that what viewers saw was merely a “scripted television event” and a “complete and total waste of absolute time”. Lionel critiques the media, specifically Channel 4, for producing “lame nonsense” and being so “blatantly obvious” in their bias that they were “throwing everything behind Z”. Along with callers, the conversation dives into the true motivations driving political races—ego, power, fame, and money—rather than altruism. Discover why even the most qualified candidates “cannot win everywhere” regardless of performance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
