Today on the Matt Wall Show, Zoran Mamdani makes his final argument, which is that we should feel
00:00:04.260
sorry for him because he and his fellow Muslims are the real victims of 9-11. Also, the media
00:00:08.440
panics over White House renovations for some reason. And I get into a heated battle with an
00:00:13.580
extremely creepy AI version of myself. And also, I will respond to Mamdani's three major policy
00:00:19.820
proposals. Each one is crazier and more doomed to fail than the last. All of that and more today
00:00:30.000
Let's be honest, most dress clothes are uncomfortable, high maintenance, and just don't feel good
00:00:55.880
to wear. You spend too much time ironing, dry cleaning, and tugging at stiff fabrics.
00:00:59.360
That's why I love Mizzen and Maine. They make classic menswear with performance fabrics. So
00:01:04.440
looking sharp doesn't have to be a hassle. These guys actually invented the performance fabric
00:01:08.320
dress shirt over 10 years ago, and they've been perfecting it ever since with modern fabrics that
00:01:13.000
really deliver. Their shirts and pants look refined and professional. But here's the thing. They're
00:01:17.480
also stretchy, lightweight, moisture wicking, and wrinkle resistant. Everything's completely
00:01:21.800
machine washable, so no more ironing or dry cleaning runs. So they completely did away with the worst part
00:01:27.800
about dressing nice. As a busy guy with the family, that's a game changer. And they sent me some of
00:01:33.920
their shirts a couple weeks ago, and I've been wearing all of their shirts very consistently.
00:01:40.620
And I do really appreciate the fact that I don't have to iron. Not that I ever really did to begin
00:01:46.540
with. But now I don't iron, and I also don't look homeless when I wear their really beautiful shirts.
00:01:54.060
The moment you put their clothes on, you feel the difference. You get that professional style
00:01:57.780
without sacrifice and comfort, whether you're in the office, traveling for work, or even just out
00:02:02.060
on the weekend. It's timeless style you can invest in once and enjoy for years, which is why thousands
00:02:06.860
of guys swear by Mizzen and Maine when they want to look great without all the hassle. I love my
00:02:12.160
Mizzen and Maine clothes. The quality's great. My favorite part, though, is that it looks ready to wear
00:02:16.160
after being cleaned. And as I said, I look like a homeless person. Right now, Mizzen and Maine is

00:02:44.880
Six days after Islamic terrorists murdered thousands of Americans on September 11th,
00:02:49.960
as many victims remained unaccounted for and as rescue workers continued cutting through the
00:02:54.920
rubble, George W. Bush spoke at the Islamic Center of Washington. The president stated that the terrorist
00:03:02.440
attacks, although they were committed by Islamists in the name of Islam, had actually contradicted the
00:03:07.840
fundamental tenets of the faith because, as he put it, quote, Islam is peace. Bush also affirmed that
00:03:14.700
Muslims in the United States, quote, love America just as much as I do. You know, ask any historian
00:03:21.120
and they'll tell you that it's actually Bush's axis of evil speech delivered five months later at the
00:03:26.640
State of the Union, which was the defining neoconservative speech of that era, the one that launched the
00:03:32.420
global war on terrorism and established its objectives. But that's actually not true. It's not even close to
00:03:39.520
true. The real goal of the neoconservative movement from 2001 onward was spelled out at the Islamic
00:03:47.660
Center of Washington by George W. Bush as ground zero was still smoldering. That speech made it
00:03:53.660
official. Neoconservatives were not going to defeat anti-American evil abroad. Instead, in response to
00:04:00.640
9-11, they would accelerate their efforts to import this evil into the United States. On the theory,
00:04:06.200
which they maintained in public with a straight face, that foreigners from the Middle East were just as
00:04:12.320
American as anyone else. To be clear, Bush did not simply make the claim that al-Qaeda, along with millions
00:04:18.980
of Muslims all over the world, had misunderstood the Koran's call to murder non-believers. Bush went much, much
00:04:26.240
further than that. He declared that Muslims from foreign countries, most of whom advocate for Sharia law, are
00:04:33.640
just as American as you are. Now, what happened next is almost never talked about, although it's one of the most
00:04:40.200
important and catastrophic developments in the history of America, really. What happened is we didn't pause or end
00:04:50.920
Muslim immigration to the United States. We didn't do that at all. In fact, we increased it dramatically in response to
00:04:59.080
9-11. Now, I want you to stop and really listen to what I'm about to tell you, because I think most people
00:05:06.760
don't realize this. So here it is. Virtually the entire current Muslim population in the U.S. came here
00:05:16.840
after 9-11. So this is a chart from Data Hazard, which you can see up on your screen right now. In the 1990s,
00:05:24.840
there were between 500,000 and 1 million Muslims in this country. That's it. Now there are more than
00:05:31.780
4.5 million. So put another way, in this country, the Muslim population has more than quadrupled
00:05:39.660
since 9-11. Now, on the other hand, guess what's happened to the Christian population in Iraq during
00:05:48.080
that same period? The country, you know, we were supposedly liberating. Well, it went from 1.5 million
00:05:53.960
Christians to around 200,000. Why is that? Well, they were ethnically cleansed. They were terrorized.
00:06:00.240
They were killed. They were forced to leave. Meanwhile, some of our most important cities,
00:06:05.740
you know, the centers of our economy, were flooded with Muslims. And we were told to welcome these
00:06:11.700
people and give them refuge from their third world hell holes because, after all, they're just as
00:06:17.640
American as we are. But they just got here from a country that could not be more foreign to our own.
00:06:25.220
Soon as they step off the plane, they're just as American as we are. So how have things turned out
00:06:31.580
exactly? Nearly 25 years after 9-11, after several decades of unfettered neoconservatism and liberalism,
00:06:38.600
what does New York City look like today? Well, as of 2024, more than 20% of the voters in New York City
00:06:47.160
currently struggle to speak English. That's not an exaggeration. It's from a document prepared by
00:06:54.200
the Office of Immigrant Affairs in the mayor's office. And it says, quote, 22% of New Yorkers are
00:07:00.840
considered to have limited language proficiency, limited English language proficiency to be exact.
00:07:06.420
So think about that for a second. Again, really stop and think about it. One in five New Yorkers
00:07:14.620
cannot speak the English language. One in five people in our largest and most important city
00:07:21.100
cannot speak our language. We can't communicate. Pick a random person on the street in New York,
00:07:27.640
and there's a good chance you won't be able to have a conversation with that person. Nor will you have
00:07:34.320
any shared culture or shared history whatsoever. You will have nothing in common with this person,
00:07:42.020
this, quote, unquote, American. Overall, 38%, almost 40% of the population of New York
00:07:49.020
was not born in America. It's not 40% are, you know, ancestrally from another country.
00:07:57.980
No, this is 40%. We're not born here. First generation. And of course, roughly 35% of these
00:08:06.480
foreigners are unemployed and therefore completely dependent on the government for survival. And
00:08:11.940
when I say dependent on the government, I mean, of course, dependent on the taxpayers. They're
00:08:17.400
contributing nothing to this country or its economy. They come here and contribute nothing at all.
00:08:24.460
They're just taking. They come here to take and to give nothing back. This is a demographic
00:08:30.000
replacement that under the administrations of Bush and Obama was sold to the American people as a
00:08:37.100
clear positive. After all, who wouldn't want more hardworking, peace-loving future Americans to move
00:08:42.880
to this country and, you know, contribute their talents and work ethic to the advancement of Western
00:08:47.480
civilization? Who wouldn't want that? That particular outcome was, of course, never going to happen.
00:08:54.460
Instead, we have imported so many foreigners who despise this country and despise Christianity
00:09:00.080
in particular, that the next mayor of New York City is almost certainly going to be a Muslim
00:09:05.960
socialist from Uganda who openly mocks the victims of 9-11. And to that end, the other day,
00:09:11.260
this Muslim socialist, whose name is Zoran Mamdani, delivered his closing argument in the mayor's race.
00:09:22.400
I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of New York City.
00:09:25.260
I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because
00:09:56.740
You know, this is a line that Mamdani has trotted out in other contexts as well, including a video that his campaign
00:10:02.340
put out in which he complains that Muslims have been forced, quote, to endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
00:10:08.640
So he really thinks this is a compelling argument.
00:10:12.880
Now, he's saying it's horrifying and sad that his aunt's tummy felt funny when she wore a hijab on the subway.
00:10:19.040
Shortly after, Islamist terrorists murdered thousands of Americans and destroyed one of the most recognizable landmarks in the entire country.
00:10:25.260
And not only that, he's blaming us for his aunt's feelings.
00:10:33.200
He's not saying, well, these people made us all look bad.
00:10:42.720
You know, this is that Norm Macdonald tweet you've probably seen before, but in real life.
00:10:49.000
The one where he says, what terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans,
00:10:58.580
Norm Macdonald would do the joke a lot better than that.
00:11:00.640
But, I mean, that's literally what, this is essentially the closing argument of the Mamdani campaign.
00:11:06.940
Now, you can watch Mamdani's full remarks and he never really gets around to mourning the thousands of Americans who were slaughtered at the hands of Al-Qaeda
00:11:15.020
or explaining why they died and who killed them.
00:11:18.540
He also never gets around to articulating any actual harm that his aunt supposedly suffered.
00:11:23.880
You know, you think if this were really a bigoted white supremacist hellhole,
00:11:27.700
that someone would have actually done something to his aunt, it wouldn't all be in her head.
00:11:33.940
It wouldn't just be, she didn't feel comfortable.
00:11:42.560
Nor did it happen to anyone like Mamdani's aunt.
00:11:48.600
Now, first of all, you know, the story is almost certainly made up for political reasons.
00:12:02.140
Additionally, there are now reports floating around that Mamdani has just one aunt who lived in Tanzania during 9-11,
00:12:08.580
according to her LinkedIn, and who doesn't wear a hijab in photographs posted on social media.
00:12:15.020
And mainstream journalists aren't reporting this, of course.
00:12:17.480
It comes from a random X account called Trinity Votes Blue.
00:12:20.920
So whatever the truth may be, don't expect The Washington Post or PolitiFact to look into this for obvious reasons.
00:12:30.220
That's why they support him in the first place.
00:12:32.600
And to be clear, he's not just lying about his aunt here.
00:12:35.120
In that campaign video I mentioned earlier, Mamdani tries to claim that this is a bigger problem than his aunt.
00:12:41.020
He says that Muslims are constantly antagonized in this country.
00:12:46.600
I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of the city.
00:12:50.820
I want to speak to the memory of my aunt, who stopped taking the subway after September 11th,
00:13:00.460
whether they teach in our schools or walk the beat for the NYPD.
00:13:05.100
New Yorkers who all make daily sacrifices on behalf of the city only to see their leaders spit in their face.
00:13:10.760
I want to speak to every child who grows up in New York marked as the other,
00:13:15.800
who is randomly selected in a way that rarely feels random.
00:13:27.000
Mamdani constantly runs down this list of grievances that Muslims supposedly have against our country,
00:13:32.620
a country that they have flocked to in record numbers.
00:13:35.960
But the complaint about random screening that he always trots out is really the most incredible.
00:13:42.020
Because in reality, to this day, they make sure to screen elderly white disabled grannies at TSA
00:13:48.200
just as much as they screen military-aged Arab males named Mohammed.
00:13:52.400
Even though 0% of the global terror threat comes from the white grannies,
00:14:04.220
So, this country has bent over backwards for the Zoran Mamdanis of the world.
00:14:11.860
and have been far more welcomed than any white American Christian would be in any Muslim country.
00:14:16.600
In fact, Muslims have been treated better in the United States than they're treated in many Muslim countries.
00:14:22.400
There was not any sort of campaign of persecution and oppression against Muslims after 9-11.
00:14:27.800
In fact, the government went absurdly out of its way to avoid even the impression of such a thing.
00:14:33.980
Our government responded to 9-11 by apologizing to Muslims,
00:14:39.480
and then importing millions of them into our cities,
00:14:44.320
and blast their call to prayer over the loudspeakers at 5 in the morning.
00:14:48.320
That's the kind of persecution they've endured.
00:14:50.820
The persecution of being welcomed here and given literally everything they want,
00:15:00.440
And for all that effort, we don't even get so much as a thank you in return.
00:15:06.120
Instead, they whine and complain, and they denounce and accuse us,
00:15:09.720
and they work every day to subvert our country and destroy everything that made us great.
00:15:13.500
Now, in response, you'll often hear leftists argue that hate crimes against Muslims supposedly went up after 9-11,
00:15:20.720
and they'll show you this chart of reported hate crimes.
00:15:25.060
And there are about a thousand different problems with their argument here.
00:15:27.640
First of all, as we've discussed many times, reported hate crimes are a meaningless category.
00:15:33.460
The idea of a hate crime itself is meaningless,
00:15:35.220
but a reported hate crime is less than meaningless.
00:15:39.400
A reported hate crime is when someone calls the police
00:15:42.080
and claims that someone did something mean to them.
00:15:56.660
So, for example, if Mom Donnie's aunt called the police
00:15:59.260
and said somebody yelled at her for wearing a hijab,
00:16:05.920
So, by the definition of hate crime used there,
00:16:10.160
roughly 95% of the hate crimes are just flat-out fake.
00:16:15.080
or the victim is calling them in to get sympathy
00:16:19.980
And even given this definition, which is extremely overbroad,
00:16:22.700
there were still fewer than 500 hate crime reports
00:16:27.500
involving Muslim victims across the entire country
00:16:41.720
And we're supposed to be horrified by these numbers.
00:16:44.840
Now, compare those figures to other religious groups
00:16:50.480
Now, using the FBI's numbers from 2001 to 2012,
00:16:55.080
roughly as often as hate crimes against Christians,
00:17:20.420
that after the spike in reported hate crimes post-9-11,
00:17:23.580
reports of hate crimes against Muslims plummeted,
00:17:31.600
the Muslim population exploded during this period.
00:17:34.040
So, you'd think that the raw number of hate crimes
00:18:27.460
at people who adhere to that particular religion.
00:18:32.200
Meanwhile, if you look at hate crime convictions
