NYC Socialist Says “Arrest Netanyahu” + Letitia James Bombshells | SC Races & Q3 Money Trail (Ep 561)

Joey Hudson / Just The Truth

Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson

NYC’s mayoral race took a hard-left turn as Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani said New York City should arrest Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits—citing an ICC warrant the U.S. does not recognize. We break down what Mamdani actually said, what the law allows, and why this matters for Jewish New Yorkers, U.S.–Israel relations, and the city’s already-strained NYPD and diplomatic norms.

PLUS: Letitia James scandal deepens. New revelations around New York’s recently indicted Attorney General add fuel to an already explosive story. We walk through the latest developments, why her Norfolk property is back in the spotlight, and how this is playing with voters who watched her pursue high-profile cases against political opponents.
