Vice President J.D. Vance says they discovered 186,000 dead Americans getting food stamps. Meanwhile, some recipients say it is not fair that they now have to work at least 80 hours per month to qualify for food stamps. And others are furious they are no longer allowed to buy junk food.

Trump's Food Stamp Cuts Are Leaving Americans STARVING | Arizona Crisis Spreads Nationwide From https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-food-stamp-cuts-children-arizona-hungry-big-beautiful-bill-rcna343922 Children and families in Arizona are going hungry — and many say Donald Trump's policies are to blame. Food stamp cuts, rising costs, and corporate greed are pushing working Americans to the edge while billionaires continue collecting tax breaks and corporate welfare. If this can happen in Arizona, your state could be next. In this episode of The Karel Show, heartbreaking stories reveal the real human cost of SNAP and food assistance cuts, and why millions of Americans are one emergency away from disaster. Why are we allowing this in the richest country on Earth? Plus, real estate expert David Etheridge from Keller Williams Orlando joins the show to discuss whether NOW is the right time to buy a house, how Iran tensions could impact the economy and housing market, mortgage fears, interest rates, and what buyers and sellers should expect next. Also, new developments in Savannah Guthrie's mother's case may finally bring answers. What did investigators discover, and why does it feel like we already know how this story ends?

Let's talk about millions off food stamps while Trump's war on affordability rages on....

4.3 million less Americans are off of Food Stamps now. And somehow, media reports this as a bad thing! Of course! Listen to the spin.

Is SNAP Reform Helping Families or Quietly Punishing Poverty in America?In this episode of Go Right with Peter Boykin, The Constitutionalist for Liberty Perspective, we break down the growing debate over SNAP restrictions, EBT food rules, taxpayer accountability, family dignity, and whether government should be encouraging healthier choices or controlling what struggling Americans are allowed to buy.This is not just about soda, chips, candy, or groceries. This is about faith, freedom, family, limited government, and whether a Constitutional Republic should help people through hardship without shaming them at the checkout line.So we ask, Is SNAP reform really helping American families make healthier choices, or is it quietly turning food assistance into another way to punish poverty?Read the full article here:https://gorightnews.com/is-snap-reform-helping-families-or-quietly-punishing-poverty-in-americaWatch and Listen:Rumble:https://rumble.com/v79f1qo-is-snap-reform-helping-families-or-quietly-punishing-poverty-in-america.htmlYoutube:https://youtu.be/_aimVDaXBtMBitChute:https://www.bitchute.com/video/ba8A6guWwzH9/Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/episode/is-snap-reform-helping-families-or-quietly-punishing-poverty-in-america--71871658Go Right with Peter BoykinThe Constitutionalist for Liberty PerspectiveVisit:https://GoRightNews.comhttps://GoRightNC.comhttps://PeterBoykin.comSupport Go Right News:Cash App: $GoRightNewsFollow, subscribe, share, and help keep independent constitutional commentary alive.#GoRight, #PeterBoykin, #SNAP, #FoodStamps, #EBT, #WelfareReform, #PovertyInAmerica, #FaithFreedomFamily, #ConstitutionalRepublic, #GoRightNews, #GoRightNC, #NorthCarolinaPolitics, #LimitedGovernment #FamilyValuesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/go-right-with-peter-boykin-the-constitutionalist-for-liberty--3096608/support.

1. Secret Service Funding & Political Conflict The U.S. Secret Service stopped an alleged assassination attempt and they were underfunded due to Department of Homeland Security budget disputes. Democrats repeatedly voted against DHS/Secret Service funding, framing this as irresponsible given security risks. This political rhetoric contributes to political violence. Discusses legal opposition to construction of a White House ballroom with enhanced security features. The court’s temporary halt to construction is portrayed as dismissive of national security concerns. There are repeated threats against President Trump as justification for heightened security. 3. Radicalization & Political Violence Narrative Attributes recent acts of political violence to left‑wing ideology and alleged “Marxist” indoctrination in academia. Cites a purported manifesto to argue that ideological framing of “oppressors vs. victims” is used to justify violence. 4. FBI Raids and Minnesota Fraud Allegations FBI raids on over 20 childcare and nonprofit facilities in Minneapolis related to alleged large‑scale fraud. The fraud is involving misuse of taxpayer funds, particularly in programs tied to childcare and social services. Minnesota political leaders are accused of ignoring or covering up fraud while later taking credit for enforcement. There is widespread abuse of SNAP (food stamp) benefits, including recipients allegedly owning high‑end luxury vehicles. The federal eligibility rules (broad‑based categorical eligibility) are at fault for enabling fraud. Both fraudsters and policymakers who support current rules should be held accountable. Democratic officials are benefiting politically from fraud & welfare expansion. Specific figures are cited as symbols of incompetence, corruption, or ideological extremism. 7. DEI Policies & Homelessness Programs Describes homelessness assistance systems, particularly in Portland, Oregon, as driven by DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) scoring systems. Aid is prioritized based on race, sexuality, or identity over economic need leads to ineffective outcomes. Despite very high spending per homeless individual, homelessness‑related deaths increased significantly. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss shooting supspect Cole Allen making an absurd argument for why he should walk free despite the Trump assassination attempt charges, food stamp recipients driving Lambos, and the JPMorgan Executive who allegedly drugged junior male employees.

It's call-in Friday—and nothing is off the table. From explosive claims of SNAP fraud and state-level loopholes, to GOP redistricting battles and internal party tensions, today's episode unpacks a packed political news cycle that refuses to slow down.

There is a lot of positive news in this weeks Fear Of Missing Out report. We had a couple of big SCOTUS rulings with one a 9-0 decision. The FBI has been busy looking into COVID corruption and Minnesota Fraud. We end with a study of just one state and what people there getting SNAP benefits drive for cars.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should SNAP recipients be able to use their benefits to buy hot rotisserie chicken? Michael revisits the debate over food assistance rules as a bipartisan group of senators pushes to carve out a narrow exception to the long-standing ban on hot foods. The issue highlights a quirky regulatory gap—where a cold rotisserie chicken is allowed, but a hot one is not—raising questions about practicality, dignity, and intent. Supporters argue it's a common-sense fix for families, seniors, and those without cooking access, while critics warn it could open the door to broader changes. Is this smart reform or the start of a slippery slope? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When the government gives you money why would you be shocked when that money can only be spent on what they let you buy?

On Tax Day, trillions flow into the United States government. But new analysis shows a significant share is directed toward war, defense contractors, and border enforcement, while healthcare and food assistance face mounting pressures and cuts. As deficits grow and everyday costs rise, what do these budget choices reveal about who the system is built to serve, both in the US and beyond?

Host Cody Cook sits down with Patrick Carroll, a sharp libertarian opinion journalist based near Toronto whose writing appears in outlets like the Mises Institute, Libertarian Institute, AIER, and FEE (where he once served as managing editor). Carroll's Substack, Against the Left, regularly dismantles progressive arguments from a free-market vantage point—and this conversation dives deep into one of his most provocative pieces: “Why SNAP Spending Should Be Cut Even If Charity Doesn't Replace It.”The episode centers on the dramatic events of late 2025, when a record-breaking U.S. government shutdown stretched into its second month. By early November, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) faced a funding lapse. The Department of Agriculture announced that the roughly $100 billion annual program—serving about 42 million Americans, or one in eight—would not issue full November benefits. Chaos ensued: food banks reported overwhelming demand, long lines formed, and media stories highlighted desperate families suddenly without their usual grocery support.Left-leaning commentator Carl Beijer seized on the crisis in a Jacobin piece, declaring it definitive proof that private charity cannot substitute for state welfare. Overwhelmed pantries and panicked recipients, he argued, exposed the fantasy of market-based solutions replacing government safety nets.Carroll pushes back hard. He concedes the short-term strain on food banks but argues the episode reveals more about SNAP's overreach than charity's inadequacy. With little advance certainty (the shutdown's duration remained a day-to-day uncertainty), private organizations had scant time to scale. Yet many still responded impressively—businesses like DoorDash offered free meals, churches and local groups rallied, and some food banks pivoted quickly. Had there been months of clear notice, Carroll contends, the charitable response would have been far stronger.More controversially, he challenges the scale of need SNAP addresses. Citing a 2021 USDA study, he notes that 39% of recipients are obese, 26% overweight, 33% normal weight, and only 3% underweight. This, he says, shatters the media stereotype of widespread starvation and suggests the program subsidizes far beyond genuine hardship—often enabling poor lifestyle choices rather than preventing famine.Carroll proposes an initial 50% cut, returning spending to roughly 2007 levels after years of ballooning budgets. He acknowledges “food insecurity” statistics (around 13% of Americans) but critiques their definitions, which can include anyone who occasionally buys cheaper groceries or skips a preferred item—hardly a crisis justifying $100 billion annually.The discussion turns philosophical and theological. Carroll invokes the “negative contact hypothesis”: while meeting marginalized groups often reduces prejudice, direct exposure to many in poverty can erode naive sympathy when observers see patterns of self-inflicted hardship—addiction, unwise relationships, financial irresponsibility. Anecdotes from YouTuber Caleb Hammer's Financial Audit series reinforce this, as do studies showing that more well-off people's support for redistribution weakens after real contact with the poor.From a Christian libertarian perspective, Carroll emphasizes voluntary generosity over state coercion. Jesus warned against lording authority over others (Matthew 20); early Christians practiced communal sharing without petitioning Caesar for taxes. He praises historical mutual-aid societies and modern examples like Mormon welfare systems as superior, more personal, and non-coercive alternatives to centralized bureaucracy.Addressing bleeding-heart objections, Carroll entertains the sequencing argument: enact free-market reforms (deregulation, free trade, ending occupational licensing and minimum wage barriers) first to boost opportunity and reduce poverty, then phase out welfare. He's sympathetic but rejects indefinite delay—some cuts can and should happen now without catastrophe, especially given SNAP's questionable targeting.This episode is bold, data-driven, and unapologetically challenging. It refuses easy compassion narratives, forces listeners to grapple with uncomfortable stats, and calls Christians to prioritize peaceful, voluntary charity over state redistribution. Whether you bristle or cheer, it's a thought-provoking case for rethinking welfare in a free and faithful society.Links:Patrick's SubstackPatrick's piece Why SNAP Spending Should Be Cut Even If Charity Doesn't Replace ItPatrick's Twitter/X: https://x.com/PatrickC1995David Beito's book From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State: Fraternal Societies and Social Services, 1890-1967Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

SNAP Recipients Sue Over Soda & Candy Ban | Should Food Stamps Restrict What People Buy? Food stamp recipients are suing the U.S. Department of Agriculture over new restrictions that block SNAP benefits from being used to purchase soda, energy drinks, candy, and sugary desserts. Since May, the USDA has approved waivers in 22 states allowing limits on what SNAP recipients can buy with their benefits. Supporters say the policy promotes better health and responsible spending of taxpayer money. Critics argue the restrictions are unlawful, stigmatizing, and make it harder for low-income Americans to manage their lives. So the big question is: Should the government control what poor people buy with food stamps? At the same time, the war that was supposed to end quickly is now entering another week, and gas prices are rising again. What's the long-term strategy—and does Trump actually have an end game? On today's Karel Cast, we dive into: • The SNAP soda and candy ban lawsuit • Government control vs personal choice • Food policy and poverty • Rising gas prices and global conflict • The politics behind the headlines The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel Watch, like, and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/reallykarel The Karel Cast is available on all major streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Spreaker.

SNAP—the federal assistance program better known as food stamps—helps put food on the table of nearly one in eight Americans today. But, as new legislation is phased in over the coming months, more than half of those people are expected to lose some or all of their SNAP benefits. This episode, we're getting to the bottom of why SNAP matters—to all of us, not just those who receive it. Why does the U.S. government give people money just for food, rather than cash, as in other countries? Does it make sense to ban SNAP from being used to buy junk food? And why are so many people still hungry, when American farmers produce more food than we can even eat? For decades, the food stamp program has been the main way the U.S. government puts food on the tables of folks who would otherwise struggle to afford it; for all of those decades, it's been attacked, resented, and subject to political horse-trading. Listen in now, as we explore how SNAP has survived for so long—and whether it's worth saving today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The act of care and service through food has been incredibly important to Besha Rodell throughout her life, from her first, euphoric experience of a fancy restaurant at age eight, to the aftermath of September 11.Today Besha is the chief restaurant critic at The Age.The thrill of a fancy restaurant first imprinted itself on her psyche when she was a girl, treated to dinner at Stephanie's iconic spot in Melbourne.As a teenager, Besha was transplanted to her mother's native USA and got her first job in hospitality — and found her people — in North Carolina.A stint in New York followed, where Besha witnessed September 11 in real time.Eventually Besha started a family with her boyfriend, Ryan, in North Carolina and the family found they were living under the poverty line. They got by thanks to a government food voucher program.Shortly after, Besha's blog posts, written for fun, gained traction and she was given her first assignment in food writing.Further informationHunger Like A Thirst is published by HardieGrant.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should states ban the use of food assistance benefits for purchasing candy and soda? A growing number of states are reconsidering what SNAP benefits should — and shouldn't — cover, with Oklahoma now banning the purchase of candy and sugary drinks using food assistance. Michael breaks down the arguments on both sides: public health advocates who say taxpayers shouldn't subsidize chronic disease, and critics who warn of stigma, slippery slopes, and government overreach into personal choices. With data, real-world examples, and a sharp look at unintended consequences, this episode asks whether limiting SNAP purchases promotes nutrition — or simply polices poverty.

Tuesday's elections ushered in big wins for Democrats in the NYC mayoral race, Virginia and New Jersey's Governors' races, California's redistricting measure, and more. Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress are still standing their ground as the government shutdown now becomes the longest in US history. Alex speaks to MSNBC's Chris Hayes about what Democrats should take away from these two test cases, and how they should inform the party's politics for the rest of Trump's Presidency. She also hears from individuals living through the first-hand impacts of rising healthcare premiums and the government's pause in food stamps.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
