Waj, Thanks for this discussion. It hits home. I flew back to DC last June to take part in a Vets United demonstration on the Capital Mall against cuts to the VA. Tammy Duckworth was the only elected official to speak at that gathering. Our son (SI ‘08, up the road from Bellermaine Prep) is currently US Army infantry enlisted. We’re not Catholics but are totally fine with the spirit of “AMDG”. Please keep up your good work, Sir.

Outstanding interview! Dr Adam Hamawy is terrific. Amazing background, proof of his kind character, spending his life caring for people. His this, morals and political agenda is exactly what we need in all politicians!! Thank you both, Wajahat and Dr Hamawy!!!!

Waj I watched you with that Christian nationalist, and I told myself I had to support you. I was so proud of you the way we recorded scripture and told him that he was a wolf and sheep‘s clothing and that he had nothing to do with Christianity I really hope that more people will expose the manipulation that’s going on in our country. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Aimee, I’ve been listening to The Left Hook since the beginning, and that was one of my FAVORITE Waj moments!

Please leave a clue, title, names, or date, as to which show?

It was posted on the Left Hook 6 days ago. If you scroll back, you should see it. I took At screen shot, but it won’t let me post a pic here. Hopefully you can find the interview.

My district! Although I'll be sorry to see Congresswoman Coleman retire, you have my vote, Dr. Looking forward to having you in Congress.

Thank you for having Dr. Hamawy on your show. He is clear and has first hand knowledge of what he witnessed and is willing to fight. Please have him on again as we get closer to the election. And perhaps have Senator Duckworth too. We need to acknowledge these great Democrats and support those like Dr. Hamawy who is running to stop the failings of Congress.

This was the best substack talk all week for me. Waj, I donated to this doctor. I am a doctor’s daughter and I love what he stands for. You can tell he really cares about his fellow man, and he check’s all the boxes for me. I don’t live in NJ but I want to see this man win his primary and get a seat in congress. Thank you for introducing him to us.

I couldn’t agree more, Marianne!

What a beautiful human being! I just wish i could vote for him, but his primary June 2 is on my calendar! Will be watching! You have wonderful guests,Waj. Vali Nasr, Ro Khanna, trita Parsi, and now Dr. Hamawy. So accomplished yet not arrogant or entitled. Humble and compassionate (well, with allowances for personal style!). Dr Hamawy is all of the above. Good luck to him!

My cardiologist is Egyptian and I love him. I also got my degrees as an Air Force Vietnam veteran. Great to meet you.

What a wonderful - and heartbreaking - story Thank you for having Dr. Hamawy on, Wajahat. In this current world of just bad news on top of bad news, it's uplifting to meet this man. I hope he gets elected.

Waj - thank you for always taking the high road. So disappointed in Karl and Snow; what sellouts.

Dr Adam Hamawy, brilliant true American. He has used his gift for healing and being a witness far and beyond all. A true mensch habbibi. Of course went right over and donated to his campaign.
