**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
These are questions that take cultures thousands of years to answer. During Answer the Call, I take questions from people just like you about their problems, opportunities, challenges, or when they simply need advice.

The Matt Walsh Show, the Somali community in Minnesota rallies around a man who abducted and abused a child. They told the judge to go easy on him because he's still getting accustomed to our culture. So what does that say about Somali culture? Also, several more states have now banned junk food from the food stamp program. We'll talk about that. And also the rise of so-called EBT influencers on TikTok, which is as horrible as it sounds. Plus, speaking of horrible, a former CNN anchor interviews an AI version of a child who died in a school shooting. Our dystopian future has arrived and it's somehow worse than anyone predicted. Talk about all that and more today in The Matt Walsh Show.
More than 90% of Americans don't get enough fruits, vegetables and fiber in their diet. We're all basically walking nutritional disasters. And that's where Balance of Nature supplements comes in. These aren't your typical synthetic vitamins with names you can't pronounce. We're talking about 47 whole ingredients, 16 fruits, 15 vegetables plus spices and fibers, real stuff like wild blueberries, kale, turmeric, mushrooms. I've taken their fruits and veggie supplements for a while now. And honestly, it's nice knowing that I'm getting the variety that I need without having to turn my kitchen into a produce section, especially handy to have while traveling as well. Plus, their fiber and spice blend is the only supplement on the market combining 12 spices with four whole fibers. Look, I'm not saying this replaces eating actual vegetables. I'm not a monster. I never suggest such things. But when life gets crazy and your diet consists mainly of whatever doesn't require cooking, you know, it's nice to know that you're still getting healthy ingredients with Balance of Nature. They're vegan, kosher, gluten-free, made with zero artificial anything. Just nature doing what nature does best. Go to balanceofnature.com, use promo code Walsh for 35% off your first order.

More than any other failed state in Africa, Somalia has been in the news a lot lately. First, several Somalis were convicted in a $250 million scheme to defraud US taxpayers by claiming they cooked meals for children when they were really buying sports cars. Then several Somali politicians in the US., including Ilhan Omar, announced that they're working on behalf of Somali interests, not America's. Then a Somali man in a playground in Minnesota harassed a woman named Shiloh Hendricks and her 18-month-old child prompting the woman to drop the N-bomb heard around the world. Then to cap it all off, the Democrat Party endorsed a Somali socialist to be the next mayor of Minneapolis. At the moment, he appears to be probably the front runner. So it's safe to say that three decades after the US. Government determined that Somalis deserve temporary protected status in this country as refugees from their own dysfunctional governance, a temporary status that has never been revoked. Somalis are dominating our news cycle and some of our major elections as well. And yet, for all the ways that Somalis have found their way into our national discourse in recent months, there's one fundamental question that has remained unanswered. What exactly are all these Somalis doing in the country? What value do they add? What's their goal? We're told that if we draw any general conclusions about Somalis, Somali culture based on the observable behavior of Somalis, then we're bigots. We're not allowed to inquire into their motives in any way. But despite all the deflection, no one has ever explained in any affirmative way what Somalis actually care about. What's their culture all about? This culture that we're importing into this country en masse. What core principle would they defend in large numbers if it ever came under attack? We know, based on the candidates they elect, that Somalis wouldn't defend the Constitution or the freedom of speech or freedom of association.

So what's their motivation?

Aside from draining the US Treasury, what single issue really matters to them? Regardless of how often I've asked this question directly or indirectly, I've never received a response, but suddenly and somewhat unexpectedly, that's all changed now thanks to a court case in Minnesota involving a Somali man named Kalinal Ibrahim Deery.
