Karl: Israel is a Jewish state. That’s in the charter. Do you support that?

Mamdani: I’ve said time and again that I support the state of Israel as a state with equal rights.

Karl: As jewish state?

Mamdani: I believe that any state that privileges one religion over another is one that I can’t tell you I support, whether it be Israel or Saudi Arabia or anywhere else. And a lot of that comes back to a fundamental belief that we should all be considered equal, no matter what our faith is.

No matter what happens now, the fact Cabo Verde - a country with 500,000 people in their first World Cup appearance - take the world champions Argentina to extra time, is insane already.

New York City Mayor Mamdani just gave one of the most amazing speeches you will ever hear:

"We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger, and more powerful than everyone else.

"The truth, my friends, is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed. We may have walked on the moon. But the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence — that work endures, and it belongs to us all.

"It belongs, too, to our newest Americans: those standing here with me today, all of whom were recently naturalized. Nearly a decade ago, I, too, felt what you feel: the joy of no longer being just a New Yorker, but an American, too.

"You each hold a special power: the power to determine what America means.

"The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom; where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

"How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal.

"At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics — and the cheapest.

"But time and again, including 250 years ago, those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress."

Mamdani: There are some who respond to those who ask for more from America with a simple refrain: Love it or leave it.

But patriotism has never been about pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent. It is every march led under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a decade before its time. It is precisely because we love this nation, that we will not leave it.

this isn't israel jigsaw, you can't just demand the government to take care of its critics.

Buddy, it’s not about your electric bill. The grid might go down. Then nobody will have power.

Or to put in terms you’d understand: You will not have power.

First they cancel the IRA, the most aggressive effort to galvanize energy production in a generation, then they use taxpayer money to pay energy companies to cancel active renewable projects, then they subsidize data centers to gobble up public energy.

Then they celebrate this anti-social behavior:

BREAKING: In a landmark 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court rules that "geofence warrants," which allow law enforcement to collect sweeping smartphone location data over a broad area, constitute an "unreasonable search" and violate the Fourth Amendment.

Obama:

It is possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder. And that does not negate his greatness.

That simply acknowledges that there is a profound, deep flaw in these Founding Fathers, who were also geniuses and gave us these tools.

Which is true of all of us, right? It's true of every president. We're this mixed bag.

We've got contradictions and embody the country's contradictions.
