Recapping This Week on Let's Address This
All the week's interviews and articles in one place
This New Year’s Day, I was honored to witness the historic inauguration of the first Muslim Mayor of New York City. As an American Muslim myself, I cannot overstate the joy, reverence, and hope that filled me watching Zohran Mamdani take his oath of office on the Holy Qur’an. I cover this and more in the last week of the year. Check out all the week’s stories and conversations from Let’s Address This below.

Dad Joke of the Week
At a recent funeral I said to the widow, “Mind if a say a word?”
“Not at all,” she said, “please do.”
I stood up, cleared my throat, and said, “Comprehensive.” I then sat down.
She responded in tears, “Thank you. That means everything.”
#DadJokes 😅




At least I can laugh at the Dad Joke today.
I am afraid of what was done by my country in Venezuela. Do Americans even understand what this action can lead to. This is Hitler invading Poland. This is Putin invading Ukraine. All hell will break loose. People WILL die, assassination or attack. trump has proven he will use whatever is necessary and every country knows for a fact he IS a despotic dictator who will do what he pleases.
I saw your interview yesterday with Waj .... excellent and thank you!
