I'm loving it! Mehdi's interviews are coming fast and furious. I was saddened when he left MSNBC but never imagined I would get my fill of listening to him so soon after his departure. Wonderful interview with the soft-spoken Mayor of London. Well done. A big difference between him and the mealy-mouthed watered down excuse for a P.M. that is Sunak. Ive been a fan since Mehdi's Oxford days and so glad that I can continue enjoying his work.

I totally agree with things you say about Donald Trump; that we would be headed for a disaster. However, when you badmouth Trump, you are basically siding with Biden, who, in my mind is more responsible than even Natanyahu for the deaths of 34,000 plus Gazans including 15000 children. His government consistently denies that Israel is guilty of war crimes or that a genocide and ethnic cleansing is going on. He continues to supply Israel with mega bombs to kill even more children, despite all the issues facing America. He is getting ready to sign the bill banning TikTok to shut people up who are intensely angry with what he has done over the last 6 months.

Trump is a fascist pig but Biden now fits the definition of a war criminal.

I have voted for democrats all my life but now curse myself everyday for having done that. No way in hell would I vote for him! If that means that Trump becomes the next president, so be it!

Mehdi, if by any chance you read this, please address the issue as to how, in good conscience, you can make a case to re-elect Biden.

Seems like a good guy but I think he's wrong to oppose BDS (boycott, divest, sanction). It's a necessary tool for opposing the Israeli apartheid regime.

An enjoyable interview to watch/listen to. As an outsider it seems that he has done a lot of good for London and I hope he wins again to help set examples of how cities can improve the health for all of their citizens.

Sadique Khan is an incredible leader, thoughtful, compassionate and insightful. London is lucky to have someone of such standing. Bravo Mehdi for allowing us to hear from him directly.

Of course everyone deplores Hamas’s actions of Oct. 7. But how about their actions and inactions of the months since? Have they acted responsibly in a way that benefits the people of Gaza or have they egged on the Israelis and invited the killing of so many? Can we criticize Hamas and point out that they know very well that they are getting Palestinians killed.

Two weeks after the fact, I finally got back to this interview. What a wonderful mayor the community of London has in Sadiq Khan. I was totally oblivious to the attacks he has endured, within and without of Britain. Including Trump! Here’s a measured compassionate leader being aggressively targeted for the simple fact of being Muslim. It’s a terrible situation being American in present times. Biden the war criminal and Trump the unhinged fascist authoritarian. It took so many steps and decades to arrive where we are now. Mayor Khan has made it clear that what happens in the US spreads well beyond our borders. Congratulations to Sadiq on being elected to his third term. Best to him!

Don’t mistake the English kindness for weakness, Sadiq.

The constitutional Monarchy has inspired many with a fierce loyalty to their advanced humanity and we will all die to protect it.
