Episode Details

Congressman Josh Gottheimer blasts New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as not a real Democrat, accusing him of abandoning core party values by opposing law enforcement, prisons, and even pushing to abolish the Senate. The feud escalated when Mamdani vowed to honor an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu — a promise he later clarified he couldn’t enforce alone, urging federal action instead. Gottheimer scoffs, calling Mamdani’s focus on international drama a distraction from pressing city issues like trash and potholes, and labels his views “anti-American and anti-capitalist.” Mamdani fires back, insisting his push for accountability isn’t just about Netanyahu — it’s about upholding universal justice for war crimes, especially after the October 7 attacks, and he warns that dismantling the ICC is a dangerous step backward for global law.
