Lionel (radio personality)

Lebron hosted the CourtTV law show Snap Judgment in the late 1990s. Lionel first burst into public eye on WABC radio in New York. He had begun as a caller on WFLA in Tampa, FL, drawing attention to himself by not talking about the given topic of discussion. He ended up with his own time slot on WFLA before moving to NY. His greatest period was during the trial of O. J. Simpson, where he provided unique commentary.

Beginning in May 2007, Lebron replaced The Majority Report with Sam Seder on Air America Radio with a daily three-hour talk show. Seder claimed that Lebron's unpopularity with Air America's listeners led to the loss of most of Seder's audience within a year of assuming the timeslot, as well as the loss of two-thirds of the live affiliates and live streaming.[3]

Talkers Magazine included Lebron in their 2010 "Heaviest Hundred" list at number 54[4] and in their 2013 "Frontier Fifty" list at number 37.[5] In 2015, he won a New York Emmy Award for commentary/editorial writing.[6]

Lebron also appeared in an episode of House of Cards (Season 4: Episode 11: Chapter 50).[7]

Since losing his Air America show, Lebron shifted his politics to the right and re-established himself as a right-wing conspiracy theorist for Alex Jones' InfoWars network, where he has used his show to promote conspiracy theories, such as birtherism claims about President Barack Obama, "The Storm", claims the government is involved in a cover-up of the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas mass shooting,[8] the 9/11 Truth movement,[9] the anti-vaccine movement,[10] and QAnon.[11]

Lebron has also regularly hosted conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi, a member of the birther movement and promoter of QAnon conspiracy theories[12] and has interviewed a guest who has questioned official accounting of the December 14, 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[13]

In August 2018, Lebron met with President Donald Trump at the White House and was photographed with Trump. Lebron stated that the two did not talk about the QAnon conspiracy theory that Lebron has helped to promote, but that "I think we all know he knows about it."[14][2]
