Rosenberg also highlighted the "secondary trauma" experienced by Muslim and Middle Eastern New Yorkers following 9/11, stating, "It led to a really horrible time of Islamophobia." Mamdani confirmed his participation in the upcoming 25th-anniversary commemoration of the 9/11 attacks, stating, "I will be there at the event as I was last year to commemorate those who were stolen from us." The discussion also touched on the use and celebration of Mamdani's full name, Zohran Kwame Mamdani, with co-host Ebro Darden emphasizing, "We gotta also celebrate his name."
