9.26.25--NLS-Comey's Indictment, Impact of Political Rhetoric
In today's episode, Neal begins by discussing the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, which is the central topic of the program. He explains that the indictment is likely for perjury, stemming from Comey's testimony to Congress where he denied leaking classified information. The host characterizes Comey as a narcissist who felt he was above the law, playing old audio clips where Comey denies being a leaker and another where he advocates for enforcing truth with an "iron fist." The host frames the indictment as long-overdue justice for what he describes as a pattern of politically motivated hoaxes and the weaponization of federal agencies against Donald Trump. He states that while critics will call it political retribution, his side no longer cares about these perceptions and believes accountability is necessary.
Neal and Julie also address the impact of political rhetoric and what he views as illogical public reactions. He touches on a recent shooting at an ICE facility, suggesting that while inflammatory rhetoric doesn't directly cause such events, it can create an environment where a deranged person feels justified. He then dedicates significant time to the controversy surrounding Donald Trump's warning to pregnant women about using Tylenol (acetaminophen). The host argues the intense backlash is a case of "Trump Derangement Syndrome," presenting evidence that concerns about the drug's use during pregnancy are not new. Other topics include a local Idaho education bill, a tribute to the late Charlie Kirk, and the changing tone of commentator Chris Cuomo since leaving CNN.
