A man seeking the highest office in a government says he would carry out an illegal arrest — something dictators are known for. In this case, the man making that threat is a Democrat. 

Today, Josh highlights this big story the mainstream media is ignoring. Zohran Mamdani, who won a New York City mayoral primary, is making the threat even as he goes after Trump for extrajudicial arrests. It shows not only hypocrisy, but a growing appetite for antidemocratic actions on both ends of the political spectrum. 

Mamdani described what he would do an act of “courage,” and drew a false comparison to same-sex marriage. To help you understand all this, Josh dispels myths about “international law” and discusses how in a democracy, the rules must apply to everyone no matter how people feel about them — in this case, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
