Good morning to you.

It is Saturday, November the 22nd.

And of all the crazy things that happened this week, and there were a lot, we're going

to start with the least crazy.

And in a normal world, what would have been a routine, almost boring meeting that was

probably held this week.

That is until the F word came up.

Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

I've spoken about...

That's okay. You can just say yes.

It's easier.

It's easier than explaining it.

Did you hear what he said there? That's okay.

You can just say yes. I don't mind being called a fascist. Yesterday, President Trump welcomed,

and I mean welcomed with a capital W, the New York City mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani to the Oval Office, and it turned out to be shockingly normal. And I do mean shockingly normal,

because with this president, we've become so accustomed to fireworks and confrontations and

name-calling that we were all sort of stunned when Donald Trump met with a Democrat and sought

common ground, which in any other political climate would be normal. He was polite. He was cordial. In fact, he was

way more than cordial. I feel very confident that he could do a very good job. But I just want to

congratulate. I think you're going to have hopefully a really great mayor. I think he is going to

surprise some conservative people, actually. I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani administration? Yeah, I would. I really would. I want him to do a great job, and we'll help them do a great job. I really think he has a chance to do a great job. We're going to help him, but I really think he has a chance to do a great job. I think you really have a chance to make it great. And I appreciate it. It's depressing.

You say, We're going to help them, but I really think he's a chance to do a great job. I think you really have a chance to make it great.
