Ajouté : 2026-06-07

[00:00:00]Well, I ain't going to tell you no lie.

[00:00:02]Me and my wife been together a long time.

[00:00:05]Very long time, almost 25 years.

[00:00:09]And when we was younger, we was just like everybody else.

[00:00:12]Catching the bus, trying to get housing, on food stamps. We was young.

[00:00:19]We was young, man.

[00:00:21]22 and 18.

[00:00:24]Trying to raise two children that we had back to back.

[00:00:29]And when I tell you back then, I didn't appreciate the food stamps, the Medicaid, and all that the way I should have, not knowing a few years later our financial circumstance will change.

[00:00:51]And we won't be eligible for none of that no more.

[00:00:55]Now that our finances have changed and I don't get stamps no more, I don't receive Medicaid for my son. We got healthy kids.

[00:01:06]Boy, I'll do damn near anything for some stamps right now.

[00:01:13]I try and buy as much as I can, whoever want to sell them.

[00:01:17]Well, when I don't get no stamps that month from nobody that's selling none, and I got to go to the store with two $300, counting This $3.50. This $4.50.

[00:01:32]Okay, this $7. Boy, with two $300, you got to count.

[00:01:36]You got to >> This is the reason why I want to end the food stamp program.

[00:01:42]Because now you got to be responsible for your own food. You got to be responsible for your own stuff.

[00:01:48]Now you wish you was back on food stamps. Because you know why he wishes he would go back on food stamps? Because he ain't got to be financially responsible for what he eats.

[00:01:57]This right here is not a man.

[00:02:00]I don't know why you would think this is a good video to make to say I wish I was back on food stamps.

[00:02:06]This just sounds to me like you don't want to be responsible and be a man and take care of your family on your own.

[00:02:12]You rather have food stamps.

[00:02:15]That's the reason why we need to end food stamps. And this is the reason why prices is up. This is the reason why it's because we have people like this on food stamps that did not care about the price.

[00:02:25]You see how you see who you see what he said? Oh, now I got to worry about the price.

[00:02:29]Cuz before people on food stamps weren't worried about the price. That's the reason why things are so expensive.

[00:02:35]But now what's happening? Prices are coming down on a lot of things.

[00:02:39]Because now if you can't afford it, you won't buy it.

[00:02:43]But as a man, why would you say this?

[00:02:48]I can see if you was a single mom, but as a man that has a wife and has kids, you wish you was back on food stamps.

[00:02:57]So, you basically want the government to take care of you and your family. This is not a man.

[00:03:03]This is somebody that's wanting to be lazy again.

[00:03:07]This is what food stamps created.

[00:03:10]It created lazy people.

[00:03:11]It created people who didn't want to do anything to take care of their family. They wanted the government to take care of their family.

[00:03:20]You were young, 22 and 18. You guys were young, had a family. Okay, cool. You got yourself out of it, meaning you guys both got jobs, you living in your own situation, you taking care of you and yours, what a man is supposed to do, but now you saying I wish I was back on food stamps.

[00:03:39]Now, do you guys see what food stamps has created? It created people who were lazy. It created people who didn't want to take care of their family.

[00:03:48]A man should never say this.

[00:03:50]You should be You should be upset that you are on food stamps.

[00:03:55]But granted, if you on food stamps for a limited time to get yourself right, get your family right, it is That's what it's for. It's temporary. It's supplemental.

[00:04:03]But he wants to get back on food stamps.

[00:04:05]So he don't have to worry about prices and stuff.

[00:04:08]Now do you understand what I tell people food stamps needs to be gone?

[00:04:12]Because look at the attitude of people that were on it.

[00:04:15]A lot of people are struggling right now because now they finally got to pay attention to the price of things.

[00:04:20]So let them keep on struggling.

[00:04:22]Let them figure it out.

[00:04:24]But you see why I say what I say now.

[00:04:27]out.

[00:04:28]I'm so god damn tired of counting when I go to these god damn grocery stores.

[00:04:32]I would do anything to get some stamps again. But it's kind of up that if you make over a certain amount, you don't even qualify for the But if you sit on your ass and do absolutely nothing, they'll give you the checks, the stamps, and everything.

[00:04:52]>> Not no more.

[00:04:53]>> what I can't get jiggy with.

[00:04:55]That's why I'm in favor for cutting all that off.

[00:04:59]stamps, Medicaid, all that They won't give me none.

[00:05:05]And I can use it sometimes.

[00:05:08]Rent going up, groceries high as hell, gas high as hell. Everybody can use a little assistance. I ain't rich.

[00:05:16]>> It's crazy the world that we living in.

[00:05:19]Right?

[00:05:22]Now people Now he's switching his tune and saying cut it all because he not getting it.

[00:05:29]But when he was getting it, he didn't have this type of energy.

[00:05:35]We should never have food stamps at all.

[00:05:38]We should not give anybody any money for food.

[00:05:42]I believe that.

[00:05:44]Because it's the attitude of people.

[00:05:46]But now you have people that was on it, they got off of it, they wish they would get back on it.

[00:05:51]But then if they can't get back on it, then what happens?

[00:05:55]They want it gone.

[00:05:57]I'm always going to feel the way that I feel because what did I tell you all guys? Food stamps isn't going to help you.

[00:06:01]It makes you weaker.

[00:06:04]At the end of the day, you know, it's really made our society weak as it is today because a lot of people, a lot of poor people refuse to do something to make themselves better.

[00:06:14]He put himself in a position to not need it. He makes more than the limit. That's good.

[00:06:19]So now instead of going on here and complaining and wishing he was back on food stamps or going on a little rant like a female, how about we figure out how we can make more money?

[00:06:28]As a man, we can't be crying about what everybody else is doing. We got to be locking in and getting more money.

[00:06:35]But I'm telling you all this is the reason why I say the things that I say about food stamps because they made a lot of people weak.

[00:06:41]>> You know what I'm saying?

[00:06:43]Man, this man. This crazy out here, man.

[00:06:46]I'm looking at my little flow, looking at my little few bags I got for $326.

[00:06:52]This ain't What would I do for some stamps right now?

[00:07:00]Boy, have times changed. Now, I know that's kind of up to say cuz there's a lot of people out there that really, really need it.

[00:07:07]But it's also up that they think cuz you got a few extra dollars on your pay, but at the same time, done went up 10, 20 dollars.

[00:07:20]That ain't evening out.

[00:07:22]You know what I'm saying? I don't mean to sound nasty and You know what I'm saying? But god damn.

[00:07:28]Help everybody out sometimes.

[00:07:31]>> That's the problem.

[00:07:34]We don't need help.

[00:07:36]Help yourself out.

[00:07:38]Stop looking for handouts.

[00:07:41]That is the problem.

[00:07:42]And that is hard. That's the attitude is hard to change for people who coming off of food stamps because they used to a handout.

[00:07:50]You made money, you over the limit, you good now. Now you got to figure out how to be responsible. And now you got to figure out how to make more money. If the prices of things go up, just don't buy it.

[00:08:00]A lot of y'all need to be fasting anyway.

[00:08:04]See what I'm saying? But the thing is though, that's the that's the that's the mindset of a lot of American people.

[00:08:09]They looking for a handout.

[00:08:12]Times is tough, give me money. Times is tough, give me food stamps. No, times is tough, figure it the F out.

[00:08:19]Make more money. How can I make more money to get the things that I want? If you want more food, get more money. If you want to go on that vacation, get more money. If you want that car, get more money. You want that house, get more money. Too many people first reaction to when times gets tough is running to the government.

[00:08:37]No, run to yourself.

[00:08:39]Okay, these groceries cost $326.

[00:08:42]You know what? Let me go ahead and get me a Costco membership. Let me see if I can flip it and get more stuff at Costco. Let me stop getting the dumb stuff that I don't need and only buy the stuff that I do need. You got to start looking at yourself for solutions.

[00:08:53]We got to stop crying and say things are tough. Hopefully the government need to help me out. The government don't need to do nothing.
