Really honored to have finally joined Lenny on his podcast. It was one of my favorite interviews because Lenny is truly interested and a great listener.

This letter is one of the best responses I’ve seen.. Dear Mayor Mamdani, I'm writing from Canada, which means I have no vote, no dog in your reelection, and no reason to care about your press strategy. Except that I do, because it's hard not to notice a mayor treat foreign policy like it's the only portfolio he actually wants. I'll be honest about how this started. When the video first crossed my feed, I assumed it was fake. Not in the "bold move" way, in the actual "someone ran this through a deepfake generator to make a point" way. A sitting mayor, on camera, gravely announcing he'd exhausted every legal avenue to arrest a foreign head of state, only to concede he never had the authority in the first place. I sat there looking for anything that would let me file this under a bad prank instead of a real statement from a real sitting mayor. Then I found the CNN piece, the NPR piece, the France 24 piece, all reporting it straight, and had to sit with the fact that this actually happened, on purpose, from the mayor of New York City. So now I'm just curious, genuinely, no axe to grind, from way up here with no stake in your reelection. Whose mandate is this? You ran for mayor of New York. Housing, transit, safety, the budget, childcare, groceries people can actually afford, that's the job description. Nowhere in there does it say "unofficial spokesperson for the International Criminal Court" or "designated antagonist of the Israeli government." Nobody voted on that. There was no ballot line for it. So who exactly gave you the right to carry this out on the city's behalf, and in whose name are you actually doing it? From where I'm standing, this mandate doesn't look like it belongs to the people of New York at all. It looks like it belongs to Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IRGC. Here's the part that makes it feel less like conviction and more like theatre. Ask yourself the question your video conveniently skipped. If the head of the IRGC landed at JFK, would there be a video? If a Hezbollah commander wanted a night out in Manhattan at some swanky club, would you tell him, with that same solemn cadence, that he's not welcome? If someone from Hamas's political bureau, the men who actually planned October 7th, decided to visit, would you even flinch? Somehow I doubt it. The cameras only seem to come out for the one target that plays well to a specific room, and I notice, from all the way up here, that the room never asks about the others. It makes a person wonder who this performance is actually for. You don't owe me an answer. I can't vote, I can't donate, I can't even yell at you at a town hall. But the question doesn't need an American passport to be obvious. It's obvious from Canada. It's probably obvious from the moon. With all the respect you've earned, which is none. Francine Goldberg

The 'delete ChatGPT, download Claude' crowd turned a genuinely complex national security debate into consumer #feelgood "activism" smashburger that will have no impact on actual policy.

Oh let me guess your source- Gazan Ministry of Health? AKA Hamas.

Reuters supplied nearly $4 million worth of news services—including text, video, and photos—to IRIB and its subsidiary Press TV, U.S.-sanctioned state media arms linked to Iran’s IRGC and known for broadcasting forced confessions and regime propaganda. Reuters communicated payment requests directly with Peyman Jebelli, a senior IRIB executive with close ties to Ayatollah Khamenei and a key figure in Iran’s global information warfare strategy. 🧵

Radical Israeli settlers are once again attacking a village in the West Bank. I don’t care how many times I have to say it: we must have zero tolerance for these terroristic acts. The government must stop letting these radicals get away with these despicable acts of violence.

I support @shaunmmaguire Any attempt to cancel him is absurd. His willingness to call out extremism is appreciated. He stated 2 things: - Zohran Mamdani refused to refute “globalize the intifada” - His father has publicly called for violence to incite change in policies & this is radical and un American. Both of these things are provably true. He voices strong opinions forcefully. You won’t always agree but he’s data oriented, high integrity & certainly not a racist. Cancel culture needs to be cancelled.

RT @NiohBerg: They're all celebrating the murder of Jewish babies. I can barely believe my own eyes.

Fun interview at @nasdaq, happy to represent @latitudlatam and Latin America alongside @_jfigueiredo_ and @claudiaduran71 .

Cool, so "Jew hunt" is trending on X. NBD. It's so weird, because last I checked the NYT said the attacks in Amsterdam were just soccer hooligans being hooligans "on both sides."

Go Erik and team!

nitter.net/ShelleyGldschmt/… This viral video sparks outrage among pro-Palestinian and Muslim students in the US because it exposes their ignorance and the double standard against the Jews. So please, retweet and make it go even more viral! First, Jews have always lived in the Holy Land (Google: "Old Yishuv"). Starting in 1880, the Zionists did not invade the land or steal it from the Arabs, but immigrated legally both under the Ottoman Empire and under the British Mandate. The Zionist Jews settled in empty desert lands that they bought and managed to turn the desert of the Middle East into a paradise. The Muslim Arabs had the opportunity to establish a state alongside the State of Israel but they rejected the UN partition plan and tried to push their Jewish neighbors into the sea. Instead of establishing Arab state, they repeatedly declared wars and lost. Israel did not ethnically cleanse the Arabs or persecute them, it simply protected the Jews from another holocaust. Please check out the other posts in this thread if you want to better understand the conflict in the Middle East!

With so many believing Hamas disinformation it's been very tough taking the hatred of so many against Israel and Jewish people in general. Old friends are now harsh critics who wrongly believe Jews are committing genocide and running an Apartheid state. On the positive side we now know who our friends are: the many who realize that the woke Muslim alliance is poison for freedom and democracy. This is not Israel vs Hamas but Islamo fascism vs freedom. It is builders vs destroyers. It is those who work hard and those who beg hard and feel entitled without contributing anything to society.

Monsters. Never forget. There is no justifying this.
