This segment concludes the discussion on the massive welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, arguing the state's failure stemmed from misinterpreting Somali immigrants as descendants of slaves (instead of new immigrants seeking a better life) and an over-sensitivity to being labeled "racist." The host stresses the need for immigrant assimilation and accountability, noting that the fear of racial accusations allowed the fraud, largely by a minority within the 80,000-person Somali community, to flourish. Internationally, the US has deployed F/A-18 fighter jets over the Gulf of Venezuela in a closer-than-usual move amid rising tensions over narcotics trafficking, and the host covers the dramatically changed appearance of the Apalachee High School shooting suspect in court. Finally, a Vermont school district sparked controversy by hoisting the Somali flag during a national reckoning over the Minnesota fraud.
