Lionel delivers an entertaining and informative hour focused on the painful truth about America's crisis of identity. The host confronts the political use of labels like "racist," "Islamophobe," and "anti-semite," arguing that these terms no longer mean anything and are merely used to tell people to "shut up". The core issue? The loss of American culture due to the failure of assimilation and the threat of cultural replacement. Lionel discusses the dangers of Islamism—a political ideology disguised as a religion—and reveals his shock when a staunch leftist friend decides to vote Republican due to the multiplication of "headscarves" in her neighborhood. Drawing on a list of countries (including France, Belgium, and Japan) that have imposed bans or restrictions on full face coverings (like the burka and nikab) for reasons of cultural cohesion and national security, the show debates whether we are in the middle of a cultural war. Plus, a deep dive into the New York City mayoral race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
