Mic On, Muzzle Off: Speech on Trial, Retaliation, and NYC Mayoral Race— with Jean Grillo

In a city where speaking out can come at a cost, how do you keep the mic on—and the muzzle off?
In this powerful episode, Carmella opens up about her ongoing legal battle to defend free speech, the retaliation she’s facing over a federal lawsuit, and why, despite the pressure, the show must go on.

She’s joined by Jean Bergantini Grillo to break down the high-stakes drama of the 2025 NYC mayoral race—a political showdown where the right to be heard is front and center. They discuss the key players:

Zohran Mamdani (Democratic nominee)
Curtis Sliwa (Republican nominee)
Andrew Cuomo (Running as an Independent)
