On this hour of "The Other Side of Midnight", Lionel discusses the psychology and importance of fear with callers and guests.

The host and callers discuss specific fears, like galeophobia (fear of sharks) intensified by the movie Jaws, and the evolutionary roots of other common phobias. The conversation also briefly includes tangential topics, such as cryptids like Bigfoot and crop circles, and the host's reaction to a caller who attempts to steer the subject toward political commentary about Trump.

Political bombshells explode as Marjorie Taylor Green announces her resignation (effective January 5th, 2026), following a bitter public falling out with President Trump, whom she claims tried to "destroy" her. Then, it's the meeting everyone wondered about: President Trump and Democratic Socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani meet in the Oval Office. Though Trump previously called him "my little communist mayor," the meeting was described as "productive," focusing on New York affordability, housing, and lower prices. Rita and callers analyze the dynamic: Did the man who once vowed to be Trump’s "worst nightmare" act like a "pussycat" in the White House?. Rita dissect Mamdani’s controversial dance around questions regarding Israel, genocide, and human rights violations. Is Trump playing 4D chess, or did he legitimize a "diehard democratic socialist" with dangerous beliefs?. Plus, a heroic "Back the Blue" segment honors officers saving a man from a fully engulfed vehicle in Texas.
