Many are not happy with Rep. Bacon and Sen. Grassley for their recent Congressional action on President Trump's tariffs.  And they're not happy with me for welcoming them to the fight (which is what they better be doing here).  We also talk about the Nazi pic from a small Nebraska town, Gov. Pillen's war on taxpayer-purchased pop, the closing of a beloved Ralson landmark, and more.

Alexander William Salter, economics professor in the  business school at Texas Tech University, a research  fellow at TTU's Free Market Institute, and a research fellow  with the Independent Institute in Oakland, California Simple Economics May Derail the MAHA Reform of Food Stamps

Marc & Kim welcome Ryan Wiggins—stuck in traffic but calling in—to vent about Illinois road closures. They discuss shocking revelations about fraudulent Social Security numbers given to illegal immigrants, potentially enabling them to vote. Plus, new efforts to ban soda purchases with food stamps spark debate over personal choice versus taxpayer responsibility.

Department of Correction officials are investigating after another detainee died on Rikers Island Monday night. Plus, a new report from the Center for NYC Neighborhoods finds it's still possible to purchase affordable housing in the city. Also, concerns about Elon Musk's work in the Trump administration have led to demonstrations at Tesla dealerships around New York. And finally, Congress is eyeing billions in cuts to the federal food stamps program, which could directly affect nearly two million New Yorkers.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. has granted permission to West Virginia to ban the use of SNAP benefits to puchase soda. Other states can also apply for these waivers.

Today's podcast starts with a bit of a switcheroo! We begin with our host, Mike Slater, talking to Texas State Senator Mayes Middleton (R-11) about how he's trying to stop food stamp fraud in the Lone Star State and why his great ideas should be applied to our entire nation! No more tax-payer funded junk food!Following the opener, Slater monologues about U.S. Senator Rand Paul's comments on what he'd like to see as the future of American teaching. Shockingly, despite Paul being a great conservative American, Mike is NOT A FAN of what he suggested. Don't miss his reasoning as to why Rand missed the mark on this one!

Should someone on food stamps be allowed to buy soda? HHS might ban people on SNAP from buying soda soon. There is also a bill in TX that bans people on SNAP from buying soda, candy, cookies and chips. It seems obvious to me, but more importantly, what does the Bible say about it?

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Trump administration wants to ban people from using food stamps on junk food. This is, obviously, the correct position. And yet, a bunch of conservative influencers mysteriously and suddenly came out against it over the weekend. This is a bizarre story — we'll discuss. Also, “Snow White” predictably bombs at the box office. RFK Jr. wants to ban cell phones from schools. The only question is: why isn't that already the policy in every school in the country? And more and more people on the left are claiming that the 2024 election was stolen. What evidence do they have to support that claim? Well, none at all. Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/4bEQDy6 Ep.1561 - - - DailyWire+: We're leading the charge again and launching a full-scale push for justice.

Representative Leo Biasiucci talks with me about making our kids school lunches healthy, limiting grocery taxes and reforming the food stamp program. 

After three days of podcasting in a row, the boys are digging deep for topics. Since this episode was recorded before the release of the Food Stamps episode, they're unable to respond to any of your comments just yet. They kick things off by watching the AI-generated "Trump Gaza" video our president shared on social media. They discuss the passing of Gene Hackman and his family, and Drago shares what he learned about Germany from his date. Recorded just before the end of February, the boys take a moment to talk about Black History Month and some of their favorite Black figures. They also answer some of your Patreon questions, including advice for living with a significant other and whether a heckler has ever ruined their set. Through it all we remain the only funny podcast.

Cold Open (into silence)You love Dune? Like me?Frank Herbert is dead... wrong.Fear is NOT the mind-killer. Denial is.[Music ]IntroYou're listening to AutisticAF Out Loud. One voice. Raw. Real. Fiercely Neurodivergent. Since 1953.Season 5, Episode 5. Attacks on neurodivergence, facing our fears, finding our strength. Today we're talking threats, resistance, and the power of a hundred million voices. Just one autistic elder's truth. I'm Johnny Profane.Content Note: political violence, eugenics, genocide, institutionalized discrimination, systemic oppression + experiences & opinions of one autistic voice... in my 70s.[Music]You love Dune? Like me?Frank Herbert is dead... wrong.Fear is NOT the mind-killer. Denial is.I must honor my fear.Fear is my guardian. My junkyard dog. My screaming siren.Fear is the warning of annihilation. It must be heeded.I will embrace my fear. Then share its wisdom.I will let it flow through me. Become purpose & strength.And when we have acted? I will remember… its lessons.Where the Beast of Fear once stood, we will now stand.We will abide. Stronger for having feared… then acted… Together.Trust me. I know a lot about fear. I'm autistic. ADHD, too. In my 70s.Living in dangerous times in America. And we got a lot more to fear… than fear itself.[Music]Hey... you know how this works. If this resonates, now might be a good time to like, share… maybe text a link to a friend. Really helps get the word out.Trump administration identifies Autism & ADHD as "dire threats to the American people."Some folks called this headline hyperbole. Click-bait exaggeration. To my face. With hostility. Calling out what they see as “fear-mongering.”One fellow autist on LinkedIn really tore me a new one along those lines. Tried to anyways. I got a bit strong on her ass… So she blocked me. Exercising her denial.But this is how it starts.The White House labeled us a "dire threat." Not as evil actors, but based on our condition… our existence itself. Autism as a "dire threat." Not a difference.Then throwing out a gratuitous observation... “77% of young adults do not qualify for the military based in larger part on their health scores.” (Full Whitehouse.gov post.)As if that is how America now measures the value of our lives. As cannon fodder. As if there aren't now… and haven't been throughout history… Neurodivergent warriors.Demonizing all the disabled. All the Different. As if we are the ones destroying America.I'm struggling. I'm terrified...Even knowing that cruel terror is their purpose. Didn't help watching Man in the High Castle lately. The scene where ashes are falling because they're cremating the old and defective...I'm toast.About 1:43 in the YouTube linked in text.{video clip in text}This terror? Not just my personal problem. We neurodivergents ain't a small marginalized group. The numbers tell a bigger story:* About 30 million Americans have direct family ties to an autistic person* Roughly another 30 million have cousins or close relatives who are autistic* 60 million. That's 1 in 6 Americans with close autistic connectionsBut we're just getting started. Add in ADHD, even accounting for overlap between conditions, the numbers become staggering:* 69 million Americans have immediate family members affected* 75 million have extended family affected* Nearly 1 in 4 American families impactedWithout considering the millions of families affected by other disabilities.All these figures are back of the envelope. Conservative estimates from current prevalence rates. No formal research exists yet on these numbers. But the truth is clear…We're talking 1 in 4 American families?Let that sink in.When do we stop seeing these numbers as statistics? And start seeing the faces of neighbors. Your friends. Your loved ones?When are we ready to stand together?Even if they don't round us all up right away…They're already killing education programs. For Autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, speech, hearing, vision, physical disabilities…Personally I'm secretly pleased to see torturous ABA-based programs unfunded. Applied Behavioral Analysis forces change on helpless autistic children. Screw that noise.But caring parents across the nation? They want support for their kids. They're showing up at Town Halls. Getting loud about these recent cuts. Expressing fear and anger. Hurting kids cuts deep. And wide.Worse yet? Over 80% of us autistics are unemployed or underemployed. Think about it. That means killing our Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Food Stamps, Housing, etc.That's institutionalized Economic violence. A soft means of killing us off. And Soft Genocide is the deadliest kind. It goes unnoticed. Unmourned.But, hey, it's not only lost benefits I'm worried about.Underlying many of Trump's policies?Turn over a rock on most? You'll find the sinister grin of “Eugenics” staring up at you. That debunked, unscientific program to improve human “breeding stock.” By terminating the reproduction of “Undesirables.”By any means necessary. Isolation, deportation, starvation, illness, violence, death. Just like Nazi Germany, against all disabilities. Libertarian Survival of the Fittest. At its finest.Ayn Rand would be so proud. “Meritocracy” my ass…Denial begins with dismissal. Violence begins with hate speech.Notice the subtle, insidious damage done here. Labeling neurodivergence and other differences as "dire threats." That may be the most dangerous aspect of this White House publication.Like they weaponized Disability, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) through propaganda.It's how it starts. The slow slide to genocide. We've seen this before. The marginalization of minorities."Do you want a BLIND person at the FAA?“Would you trust a PARALYZED person holding your life in their hands?""Do you see a WOMAN on the front lines… defending you? A transgender?”"How about an IMMIGRANT raping your daughter?”Mockery becomes hate speech.Becomes mass hatred.Becomes normalized violence.It's right there in the authoritarian… even Fascist… playbook. Now? It's The American Way.First, we're other.Then, we're less than human.A burden.A danger.Finally…A targetFor violence.And hate crimes against Americans with disabilities have risen 29.5% over the last five years. As American political discourse has darkened.See what I mean?Can we turn our horror into action?The very point of these propaganda tactics is terror.Threatening humans' income, medical care, housing… lives? That's terrorism.How can we possibly fight our fear becoming terror?This may encourage you. The sheer number of American families. Who are seeing their loved ones threatened.A 100 million... or more... affected American disabled families? I believe we can raise a decent reaction. If we act together.I've proven over and over again in my life I'm no leader. Executive functioning? Hell, I struggle to find topic sentences. Decisions over local action, political organization, resistance demonstrations? Beyond me.So I'm not about to create some Neurodivergent Justice League or anything.But one thing that someone like me can do? That is positive? Put a human face on suffering. Without spinning toxic positivity.You may disagree. I understand. Nevertheless?I have value. And this warning has merit. It can gather a crowd. Maybe more capable folks who can run with it.YET… There are 4 things we can do right now to effect change:* Share this warning. With friends. With government representatives. Make it visible. Make it heard.* Join the conversation below in comments. Your story matters. Your voice counts.* Connect with organizations already fighting this fight. They need our numbers. And maybe most important…* Create a mutual support network. Might be neighbors who check in with each other. Or more… shared travel, shopping together, mutual defense. A small community of choice.Fear is not the enemy…Fear is the Dance of Shiva, baby. When that Hindu god becomes the “Destroyer of Worlds" in the famous Oppenheimer quote. His flashing feet destroying the illusion of denial.Invoking a new creation.Feel your fear.Ride it.DO somethingWith its strength.Together, maybe… just may be...We can destroy ignorance. Make something… new.We must honor our fear.Then act. Together.OutroIn coming weeks, we'll challenge the medical model of autism, with an episode called, "CBT...? Never Worked for Autistic Me." Why? Part of a series on how neurodivergent individuals can build sustainable, authentic lives - with or without professional intervention.AutisticAF Out Loud podcast is supported solely by listeners like you.

Junk Food & Food Stamps | Ep 942 | Crazy Town Podcast

This week on Mental Man Monday, Izzy is joined by Casual.Lotus, host of the Unhealed and Toxic Podcast, fresh off his first episode release on Valentine's Day! Together, they tackle some of the wildest headlines of the week with unfiltered takes and deep conversations.

Angela joins me to discuss a push by Rep. Leo Biasiucci pushing to reform the FOOD STAMP program in Arizona. We agree, SNAP should be basics, rice and beans when on welfare. DOGE continues to kick ass! Keep it going, cut all you can. Trump continues to irritate those walking in circles protesting the cutting of corrupt federal expenditures. + we break down Rep. Chaplik's push to reign in people begging on the little median strips between busy traffic lanes. 

If you are not worried about programs that come from the Federal government, you are not paying attention. Supports for people with disabilities are on the chopping block, everything from Food Stamps to Meals on Wheels to Social Security and Medi-Care. All of it is under threat from the heavy hand of Elon Musk. For our brothers and sisters overseas, these threats became a nightmare in actuality with the Trump Administration's “Stop Work” order for all International Aid on January 28. Disabled children lost the ability to attend school at the same time food supplies were cut. It's been a disaster for disabled refugees, disability organizations, and many others. We talk with Peter Fremlin Torres about what his international contacts told him about the effect of this order. There have been legal challenges and protests in support of the staff at the USAID agency, but in many countries outside the U.S., the damage is real and likely to spread. Join us to learn more about the billionaire's war on disabled people around the world. Peter Torres Fremlin is a disabled man who writes the weekly Disability Debrief newsletter which is archived at disabilitydebrief.org.

Sherman Gray and his longtime girlfriend have both struggled with drugs but are now clean and sober and have been for a year and a half. They both have jobs, but they are low-paying and they're on Food Stamps. What they need is a place to live. Currently they are couch surfing and sleeping on floors, and sometimes they have to sleep outside, something they did for years in Lake Elsinore. LA Mayor Karen Bass has been boasting of late that her Inside Safe program is just what people like Sherman was meant for. We will see. If this podcast can help one person, let's hope it can help this couple get off the streets.
