Hour 3: Policing the Imagination | 01-15-26

Join Lionel as he dismantles the myth of American exceptionalism, arguing that while Europe provided the genius of the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution, America simply mastered the art of marketing and scaling it. Lionel tackles the "Uni-party" illusion, the frightening legal slippery slope of deepfakes and "thought crimes," and the existential threat of AI replacing human creativity in music. Plus, things get surreal with a confused caller who loves bombing "them" and a deep dive into why the media refuses to touch the real complexities of celebrity scandals and UFO disclosure.
