Lionel does a deep dive into the political landscape on election eve. Lionel tackles the impending outcome of a highly contentious race, lamenting the pervasive ignorance and complete distraction from reality displayed by many voters. The core discussion centers on the New York election involving Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and Zohran Mamdani. Lionel stresses the urgency of the situation, arguing that the "threat that is posed by Mamdani is so great nothing matters". Despite respecting Curtis, Lionel says Cuomo is the only choice based on "the naked truth of arithmetic and numbers" to stop Mamdani, whom he views as a "sock puppet" and a "proxy" for unseen influencers. Listen as Lionel dissects the "absurd thoughts" and "circular reasoning" that dominate the discourse, including questions like, "Why can't we vote for both?" and proposals that Cuomo should hire Curtis as his police commissioner. Lionel expresses his belief that mandatory classes on "rudimentary psephology" (the study of elections and voting) are necessary because "nobody understands anything about this". The episode also touches on Mamdani’s controversial policy proposals.
