I mean, the big problem is getting the NYPD to do it. Plus you need a reason, I'm not sure if New York City has a war crimes ordinance.

Pretty sure he or his family would have an 'accident' soon after if he did.

The ICC has a warrant out for his arrest. Its bullshit that America is like "Yeah bud I dont have to listen to you", we should be arresting him.

I’m curious what politics have changed and what the law says internationally and New York wise. Feels like he learned something between these two clips. I would like to hear an explanation.

He has started compromising with Democrats and abandoning his principles. We are halfway Bernie Mamdani already.

I'm not concerned. This is the only instance where I've seen him change a position.
