00:00:00.000Today, the Matt Wall Show, a foreign socialist, is on his way to becoming the next mayor of New York City, and now a Somali socialist is running for mayor of Minneapolis.
00:00:07.180This raises a lot of questions, including one in particular that very few people want to say out loud, but we'll talk about it today.
00:00:12.420Also, Democrats in Congress have now suddenly discovered an urgent desire to see all the Epstein files released.
00:00:17.740Funny they didn't feel that way when Biden was in office.
00:00:20.240A new band has exploded on Spotify streaming charts.
00:00:22.440The only problem is that the band doesn't exist.
00:00:24.240It's AI, and Gavin Newsom continues to moderate his views on the trans issue.
00:00:28.760His latest attempt to deal with the topic is hilariously clumsy and incoherent.
00:00:32.340We'll talk about all that and more today in the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:54.240Big thanks to Bearskin for sponsoring today's show.
00:01:03.240They sent me their heavy storm rain jacket and hoodie combo, and after testing it out, I can confidently say this is the jacket right here.
00:01:10.720I'm not putting it on because it's 900 degrees in the studio right now, and I don't want to just pour sweat through this whole ad read, but here's the jacket.
00:01:31.600That's because it's got fully taped seams, silicone-sealed zips, adjustable cuffs, and the hood is designed to not allow any water near your face.
00:01:39.840And it's not just any old jacket either.
00:01:41.640It's also got five waterproof pockets, so all your gear stays dry.
00:01:46.000Whether you're hiking, fishing, biking, or getting caught in a storm on your morning commute, this is a crucial rain jacket that you need.
00:01:52.680I just wore this over the weekend because I was fishing in the rain.
00:01:56.720Rain is one of the best times to fish, as long as the rain is not too heavy.
00:01:59.580Like a light rain is in perfect conditions.
00:02:32.840If you go outdoors, rain or shine, as I hope everyone does at least sometimes, text MATT to 36912 and get 60% off the most badass rain jacket on the market.
00:02:42.980A few years ago, during the summer of George Floyd, the socialists in the government of Seattle were celebrating.
00:02:48.700And here's what one member of Seattle City Council, an Indian woman by the name of Kshama Sawant, wrote on social media at the time.
00:02:55.040So, quote, our tax Amazon movement has made history.
00:02:58.900Seattle City Council just voted to pass an Amazon tax on the largest corporations to fund affordable housing and jobs to begin to end racist gentrification.
00:03:06.540This is entirely because of the thousands of working people, unions, socialists, et cetera, close quote.
00:03:12.080So this was a tax that politicians like Kshama Sawant had been pushing for quite some time.
00:04:49.720Seattle payroll tax revenue, $47 million short as jobs leave the city.
00:04:55.580Here's how Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell assessed the situation, quote,
00:04:59.040Today's announcement that payroll tax revenues collected in 2024 were $47 million lower than projected requires action to ensure our budget remains balanced.
00:05:08.260This decrease in revenue is aligned with recent reports of major employers moving thousands of high-paying jobs out of Seattle to other cities in our region.
00:05:19.320Kishama Sawant became a socialist in India.
00:05:22.740She brought her ideas to this country.
00:05:24.560And her ideas, in a very observable way, made this country worse, to the point that the Democrats running the city can't even deny it.
00:05:34.000And we're seeing a lot of this lately, if you haven't noticed.
00:05:36.460Of course, a few weeks ago, as we talked about, a Muslim socialist, someone who wants to eliminate the police department, establish state-run grocery stores, nationalize rental properties, dominated the primary in the mayor's race in New York.
00:05:48.900He's very likely to lead New York very soon, probably win the general election, and he's very far ahead in the lead.
00:05:54.960And now in Minneapolis, a similar election is about to unfold.
00:05:58.900A Muslim socialist named Omar Fateh, who represents the district where George Floyd overdosed, is now gaining traction in the mayor's race.
00:06:07.880And before we go any further, just think about that credential.
00:06:11.720He's a socialist who represents the district where George Floyd overdosed, which happens to be one of the most dangerous and least desirable places to live in the country.
00:06:21.200And to give you some local color, here's what that means in practice.
00:06:24.720This is what George Floyd Square was like post-BLM.
00:07:50.700So the way it works is if there's a bill in the House, it needs an identical bill to be carried in the Senate for it to be negotiated and to pass in the committees.
00:08:00.500And then go on for the floor session and then go on to the governor's signature.
00:08:04.080So we're able to pass our bills back and forth that will help benefit our communities.
00:08:08.060I understand that our Somali communities are all connected to each other here in Minnesota and back home.
00:14:10.180And by the way, the statistic there was pretty incredible.
00:14:12.840He claimed that 47% of calls to the police could be diverted to non-police responses.
00:14:20.560That's a number that some left-wing academics at NYU came up with.
00:14:24.200But there's an obvious problem with that thing.
00:14:26.500In fact, there's a lot of problems with it, but one of them is that police don't know in advance whether a call is going to be dangerous.
00:14:35.640Okay, they don't like call back and say, hey, is this going to be dangerous for us or not?
00:14:41.820There's not enough time for that kind of questionnaire.
00:14:43.680And there are a lot of things that seem like they're not going to be dangerous, and then they turn—a traffic stop, something that seems like a very low-intensity, low-stakes thing, like a traffic stop, can turn deadly in an instant, as it has many times.
00:14:59.940Now, it's probably true that many autistic children having a mental breakdown, quote-unquote, aren't violent, and that a social worker could coax them out of it with an ice cream cone or something.
00:15:11.640But there's also a chance that the autistic child or autistic young person or of any age having a mental breakdown will indeed try to kill someone.
00:15:20.280That's why you need police officers there to respond to as many calls like this as possible.
00:15:24.380You don't wait until somebody gets killed.
00:15:42.500Most people would agree that domestic violence is bad, I would hope, and that police should respond to domestic violence calls, especially since they're some of the most dangerous calls that police can receive.
00:15:53.180But just a few years ago, the Muslim socialist in New York, Mamdani, explained that, in his view, the police shouldn't respond to domestic violence calls.
00:16:01.720This is audio that was first reported by the Free Beacon.
00:16:05.300I mean, you just look at the history of the NYPD and you see that we have invested in a system that functions in many ways to punish poor black and brown people across this city and across the state and, frankly, across this country.
00:16:23.320And there are so many responsibilities we have given to police that, frankly, should have nothing to do with their departments.
00:16:32.620They do not need a stranger with a gun to come and resolve that situation.
00:16:36.500If, you know, if somebody is jaywalking, if somebody is surviving, you know, going through domestic violence, if there are so many different, different situations that would be far better handled by people trained to deal with those specific situations as opposed to an individual with a gun.
00:16:55.700Notice how he just sort of casually mentions jaywalking along with domestic violence.
00:16:59.780A lot of people have said that hardline Islamist beliefs aren't a part of Mamdani's platform and that he's just a typical left-wing socialist.
00:17:08.100But, I mean, this soundbite would maybe indicate otherwise.
00:17:11.980There's a little bit of a traditional Islamic teaching creeping in, perhaps.
00:17:15.820In any event, just consider the comparison that he just made.
00:17:24.240Well, what's the difference, according to him?
00:17:26.560They're both against the law, and according to Mamdani, laws are bad.
00:17:33.280Therefore, when New York is under the rule of a Muslim socialist, they won't have laws anymore or police to enforce them.
00:17:39.540The only way to combat this very rapid rise in third-world governance is to treat these socialist invaders like the threat that they are.
00:17:47.440There can't be any compromise whatsoever.
00:17:50.140Denaturalization and deportations are a big part of that.
00:17:52.380We also need to establish prisons, like the ones they have in El Salvador, for the deterrent effect.
00:17:59.000For, first of all, a place to house these dangerous people, but also the deterrent that it creates.
00:18:05.700Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida seems to understand that.
00:18:08.000He's just opened a new detention facility for illegal aliens in Florida that the administration is calling Alligator Alcatraz, as you've probably heard.
00:18:14.200The administration repurposed a state-owned airfield west of Miami in the Everglades.
00:18:19.840And the idea, of course, is that if anyone tries to escape, they might get eaten by alligators.
00:18:31.720Predictably, because they're aligned with the foreigners who want to undermine this country's national security,
00:18:37.440Democrats are falling over themselves to explain why this idea, which is obviously very good, is somehow terrible and unacceptable.
00:18:44.500Here's Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress in Florida, to deliver the best line of argument that Democrats could come up with on this issue.
00:18:53.160They essentially drink, they get their drinking water, and they brush their teeth, where they poop in the same unit.
00:19:03.360They bragged that they went above standards, supposedly, and gave them a three-foot privacy wall that stretches the length inside the 32 detainee cage.
00:19:16.660A three-foot privacy wall that stretches the length of the three toilets.
00:19:23.160Yes, she says, in a horrified tone, they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit.
00:19:31.200These illegal aliens, criminals who have no right to be in this country, are being forced, against their will, to brush their teeth where they poop.
00:19:38.820Can you imagine the utter horror of being subjected to something like that?
00:19:41.940Can you imagine having to brush your teeth in the same room where you use the toilet?
00:19:50.100Now, of course, if you happen to have something called a bathroom in your home, then you might see a problem with the way that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is trying to present this.
00:20:03.540Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who keeps getting re-elected despite lacking any form of charisma or authenticity whatsoever,
00:20:08.860is going into hysterics over the fact that these illegal aliens have bathrooms inside the detention facility.
00:20:17.740And then she complains about the privacy wall, which is only three feet tall, apparently.
00:20:22.720You have to wonder if Debbie Wasserman Schultz has ever heard of the concept of a prison.
00:20:27.760For that matter, you have to wonder if she's ever seen what sailors have to deal with on deployment,
00:20:32.040to say nothing of the forward operating bases in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
00:20:36.440Actually, you don't have to wonder about any of this.
00:20:38.500Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a fundamentally dishonest person, so nothing, she says, has any value whatsoever.
00:20:43.600And more to the point, even if the situation at the facility is kind of rough,
00:20:47.880and I haven't seen any evidence of that, really.
00:20:50.580It sounds like just a normal detention facility, except for the alligators.
00:20:54.260But you don't have to worry about that as long as you stay in the facility.
00:20:57.900But even aside from that, even if it was true that it was a rough situation,
00:21:02.200even if they were, when she says they're brushing their teeth where they poop,
00:21:05.840when I first heard that, I thought, like, oh, do they have to brush their teeth using the toilet water?
