I think one of his best moments was during a debate where the moderator asked the candidates which foreign country would you visit first as mayor of New York City. And the other candidates said Ukraine or Israel, they're basically virtue signaling. And then they get Mamdani and he said, nowhere. I wouldn't go anywhere. I would stay in New York City. I would work for the people here. I wouldn't be going to foreign capitals. And he just crushed that answer. His political solutions, his programs are not going to work. But the reason he's catching fire is partly because he is putting New York first. The same way that President Trump is putting America first. The American people are sick and tired of the politicians focusing on far away places instead of their problems back home. Yes. It's like the Biden administration going off and defending the border of Ukraine while leaving the border of the United States wide open. And I think that even in the last couple weeks, you saw that substantial majority of the American people did not want to get into a new Middle Eastern war. And I think this is the failure of both the neoliberals and the New York conservatives, which aren't that far apart. They are clinging to this post-World War II fantasy of America being this global empire, we have to be the global policeman. While America back home is collapsing or at least suffering. And they're suffering. They want the politicians to be focusing on our problems back home.
