The Other Side of Midnight with Frank Morano

Lionel asserts that Trump, whom he calls a genius, successfully created a deal that Hamas signed onto, leading to widespread happiness and rendering massive geopolitical sites and protests "moot". Lionel concludes with tactical advice on the crucial New York mayoral race, emphasizing that polls should never be believed. Lionel shares his intense personal history with voting, emphasizing that he loves to vote, but warns listeners to check the law before posting pictures of their ballot, as this is illegal in many states. The core discussion dives deep into the chaotic three-way race for New York City Mayor, focusing on candidates like Cuomo, Siva (Curtis Lee), and Mum Donny/Ma'am Danny. Lionel offers brutal strategic advice, particularly for Cuomo, stressing that he must stop re-hashing his past and instead focus on three things he will do for the city. Lionel emphasizes that a mayor is an administrator, responsible for handling garbage pickup, potholes, police, fire, and safety, not making statements about foreign leaders. Lionel dissects the real reasons people vote—they choose sides for visceral reasons, often based on where they grew up or what their father was, completely ignoring the issues. Explore why political labels like Democrat, Republican, Populist, or "white supremacist" are meaningless noise. Discover how politicians today must utilize social media and create memes, illusions, and manufactured realities like hiring people to wait in line to achieve political momentum. Lionel as he delivers sharp takes on current events including Donald Trump's potential "peace legacy" regarding Gaza and recounts the unbelievable, often absurd true stories from his early career working for a U.S. Senator. Lionel dives deep into constituent services, featuring tales of a man with blueprints for a nuclear bomb designed to turn the enemy into a pillar of salt, another with a patented anti-seagull poop paint, and the host's confession to stealing a political rival's campaign materials. Plus, a critical look at Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s focus on Tylenol, circumcision, and methylene blue. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel offers a different way of thinking that challenges conventional news and headlines, which Lionel states he does not believe. The show delivers stories and questions "you ain't going to hear anybody talk about" by exploring the psychology of news and mind control, examining persuasion techniques (citing Amway and motivational speakers), and dissecting topics where mainstream narratives are questioned: these include controversial social issues like conversion therapy for minors and the nature of sexual identity, legal and political critiques (such as the James Comey perjury charges and the erratic behavior of figures like Katie Porter and Kamala Harris), the psychological control exerted in predatory relationships where men like Bill Bellichick and Alec Baldwin are "whipped", and deep-dive analysis into suspicious events such as the Palisades and Lahaina wildfires, including theories involving directed energy weapons (DEW) and sabotage efforts by Russian and Chinese forces. By fostering suspicion and a fertile imagination (fecundity), Lionel provides the context needed so you "never have to wonder what the heck is going on here" Learn more about your ad choices.
