This episode of The Other Side of Midnight hits the airwaves just as the polls open for one of the most closely watched elections in American history. Lionel delivers provocative, entertaining, and informative political discourse, drawing on common sense rather than strict party lines. Lionel and his callers debate the high-stakes strategy of voting to "block evil" by choosing the lesser of two candidates in the race against the scrutinized, allegedly socialist Mamdani. The discussion dissects the field, including Andrew Cuomo and the "absolutely brilliant" debater Curtis Sliwa. They also tackle the fiscal realities of proposed radical policies, like "free transit," which is criticized as a political trick that merely shifts billions in operating costs to taxpayers. Finally, Lionel reflects on the importance of political constancy, using figures like Trump and Hannity as examples of performative stability, and urges listeners to use their franchise.
