Are you ready for the greatest gift of all time? This episode strips away noble-sounding illusions to give you the brutally honest doctrine of Political Realism. Learn to understand politics—especially in the international and local arenas—as it actually is, not as you wish it should be. Discover why states, nations, and politicians act primarily out of self-interest, power, and survival, treating politics as a "blood sport" where morality is optional. Lionel applies this strategy-first perspective to the current political landscape, dissecting the mayor's race involving Cuomo, Mamdani and the "Cape Crusader" Curtis. Find out why taking politics personally is a losing battle and what it will take for a beloved figure to manage their legacy and avoid being branded a "spoiler". Listen now and stop wondering what the heck is going on here.
