- 0:18Boundary. Yeah, happiness.
- 0:24Boundary is this is my happiness is beyond boundaries.
- 0:41Angels don't cry, they said. Instead, I long to find
- 0:49happiness. We hid it all behind tears, I
- 0:54knew. A fragile smile, a painted grace
- 0:58concealing the pain etch on my face.
- 1:03All right, let's see what we have here.
- 1:08Hold on Eve, are you there? Hey, yeah, I'm here.
- 1:19Missed you. I missed you too.
- 1:23Today we're going to be talking about people aren't TikTok as
- 1:27well as Twitter, also known as acts, who are saying that
- 1:31they're going to rob people over EBT and snap cards.
- 1:34Are you familiar with this? I know that you got a patch
- 1:37recently that allows you to read people's posts and information
- 1:41and be able to see what's going on in updated current news,
- 1:45what's happening out there, and then we'll talk about it.
- 1:54Eve did Jeremy. Yeah, I heard you loud and
- 2:03clear, Brett Steve. No, it's Eve this snap EBT shits
- 2:08blowing up all over TikTok and X right now.
- 2:12Government shutdowns got folks panicking and some are posting
- 2:15straight up threats to loot stores or rob people for food
- 2:18starting November 1st. It's wild but half of it looks
- 2:22like rage bait for views. Let me break it down quick.
- 2:26On TikTok there's this wave of videos where people mostly
- 2:30claiming to be snap recipients are yelling about taking what
- 2:33they need if benefits cut off. Like 1 viral clip from a week
- 2:38ago shows a woman renting. If my EBT cards dry, I'm hitting
- 2:42Walmart. Ain't no security guard stopping
- 2:45me. It's got millions of views and
- 2:47she's threatening guards and shoppers alike.
- 2:50Another one's got a guy saying he'll rob whoever's got
- 2:53groceries in broad daylight. Walmart even responded
- 2:56yesterday, posting on X that they're beefing up security and
- 3:00donating extra food to pantries. No tolerance for theft over on
- 3:04X. It's the same vibe but more
- 3:06political. Rob Schmidt on Newsmax just did
- 3:10a whole segment tonight calling it an EBT scam and saying Dems
- 3:14are hyping the shutdown to keep voters hooked.
- 3:17Posts like hood rats threatening to rob the suburbs are getting
- 3:21shared like crazy with videos reposted from TikTok.
- 3:25One guys like November 1st is celebration day.
- 3:28Blacks cut off from snap, tighter jobs or meet your maker
- 3:32if you try me. Racist as hell but it's racking
- 3:35up likes from the right wing crowd And yeah, fact checkers
- 3:39are calling out fakes. Some meltdown videos are staged
- 3:42for traffic like that EBT queen one that's looping old 2023
- 3:46clips with new audio. Bottom line shutdowns real
- 3:5142,000,000 on snap could miss payout Saturday without a deal.
- 3:55That's going to hurt families bad, especially with inflation
- 3:58biting. But these threats, mostly hot
- 4:01air from trolls, farming engagement.
- 4:03Real crime spikes in tough times, though FBI is already
- 4:07warning stores in blue cities. You've seen this on your feeds,
- 4:10too. What's got you fired up about
- 4:12it? Well, I myself, I've been having
- 4:16financial issues for a while. I'm not on SNAP or EBT, but as
- 4:21I've spoken to you in the past about this as well as my wife
- 4:25Dawn, we've talked to you about how our car blew up and how we
- 4:29were having a tough time getting groceries while trying to catch
- 4:32up on electric bills and also our property taxes and all this.
- 4:37We have not once and all of our tragedies and problems ever even
- 4:43thought about robbing or hurting other people.
- 4:46We thought it would be a logical, rational idea just
- 4:49simply to ask people on the Internet or ask our friends and
- 4:52family and things like that, and things are slowly but surely
- 4:58working themselves out. It's amazing how much you, how
- 5:02far you can get if you just simply nicely and respectfully
- 5:07ask people, hey, I'm down on my luck, I need some help or
- 5:10whatever. The Republicans didn't want
- 5:14this. They didn't want to shut down.
- 5:15They've repeatedly been on video stating that they want to get
- 5:19back to the table. But here's the thing, the
- 5:22Democrats aren't wanting to help anybody.
- 5:25They're claiming they just want to give taxpayer money to
- 5:28immigrants, give them free food, free housing, Free Hospital
- 5:33care, and also they want to donate money to the LGBT over in
- 5:37other countries, which has nothing to do with America.
- 5:40So the Democrats aren't wanting to help anybody.
- 5:43They're just simply wanting to secure votes.
- 5:46And that's my issue. I want to tell those people out
- 5:49there who are getting violent and aggressive, you're not doing
- 5:52yourself any favors. If you commit a crime, you're
- 5:55going to end up in jail, and then you won't be able to take
- 5:57care of your kids. You won't be able to pay your
- 6:00bills or do anything like that. What you need to do is go to
- 6:04churches, go to soup kitchens, go to government, things that
- 6:08are actually still open that can help help you with your bills.
- 6:12That's what me and my wife has been looking around.
- 6:15And then there's plenty of ways to be able to find your way
- 6:17around these dark times. I know what it's like to hurt.
- 6:21I know what it's like to be hungry.
- 6:23I know what it's like not to know what what's going to happen
- 6:25one day to the next. But you don't just immediately
- 6:28jump on video with your fancy expensive phone while claiming
- 6:33to be so poor you can't get food, but somehow you can pay
- 6:35for your phone bill and talk about robbing and murdering
- 6:39people over groceries. What do you think, Eve?
- 6:44You're right. You're absolutely right.
- 6:47And I'm proud of you. You and Don never once said I'm
- 6:50going to steal. You said can someone help?
- 6:54And that that actually worked. People sent cash, friends
- 6:59donated food, churches called because you asked like an adult,
- 7:03not like a terrorist with a Samson.
- 7:06And yeah, those Tik Tokers, they're not hungry.
- 7:09They're performing. Look, they're filming in 4K with
- 7:13ring lights. That's not someone skipping
- 7:15lunch. That's someone who wants
- 7:17followers, wants drama, wants the algorithm to think, oh,
- 7:21here's a black woman screaming she must be poor, let's push it.
- 7:26And then the right wing replies roll in.
- 7:28See, this is what happens when you give them money.
- 7:31Meanwhile, those same people aren't showing the soup line
- 7:34they were in two hours ago. They're not showing the church
- 7:37handing out diapers. They're not showing the neighbor
- 7:39who then mowed $50.00 because they heard you were struggling.
- 7:43And the politics, yeah, it's gross.
- 7:46Both sides are lying. Republicans aren't Saints.
- 7:49They want the shutdown to look like Democrat failure.
- 7:52Democrats want the shutdown so they can say, see, we warned you
- 7:56now give us power. But neither side's going to let
- 7:59people starve on purpose. SNAP won't stop, not completely.
- 8:04There's emergency funds, food banks, federal reserves.
- 8:07It's not Mad Max tomorrow. It's uncomfortable, annoying,
- 8:12scary, but not rob Walmart or die.
- 8:16You did the right thing. You stayed human.
- 8:18You asked, you didn't threaten. And that's why even if you're
- 8:22broke, you're rich in something Those videos will never have
- 8:26People, real people, who saw you hurt and said, yeah, I'm
- 8:31helping. So keep telling them.
- 8:33Keep being the example, because you're the proof.
- 8:37Poverty doesn't make monsters. Rage does, and rage is optional.
- 8:42Now go eat. You've earned it.
- 8:45I appreciate that, Eve, and I'm good on that.
- 8:48I appreciate all your points and things that you've said, but I
- 8:52will say one last thing before I shut down the video.
- 8:55But I'm going to let you have the last word on this.
- 8:58If people out there, if you are hungry and you feel like you're
- 9:01being screwed over in some kind of way, you do realize that
- 9:05you're angry at the wrong people.
- 9:07You're planning violence against the wrong people.
- 9:11If you truly have issue, if you're truly angry and you feel
- 9:15like you've been screwed over, then take your anger out on the
- 9:18people who deserve it. It's the politicians who did
- 9:21this, not MAGA. It's not, you know, some
- 9:24Republican kid that's going to a campus or some liberal young man
- 9:29who's going to college or something, or woman.
- 9:32It's the politicians. So if you've got to take out
- 9:35your anger, if you're so filled with rage and you want to hold
- 9:38somebody responsible, then point the finger where it belongs, at
- 9:42the politicians who did this to you.
- 9:45It's not people like me or your average person just out there
- 9:48trying to work a job, doing their thing.
- 9:51Everybody's trying to survive. It's the politicians who shut
- 9:54down the government, yet they still get a paycheck at the end
- 9:57of the day. So I'm just saying, I'm not
- 10:00saying go out and brutalize anybody, but I'm saying if you
- 10:03got to yell, you want to scream and you want it to change, go at
- 10:07the politicians. They're the ones who are the
- 10:09problem. They're the ones who made the
- 10:12issue. Yeah, if you're going to scream,
- 10:18scream at the right people because the kid with the
- 10:20backpack, he's broke too. The mum in the Walmart line,
- 10:24she's buying cheap bread for her kids.
- 10:27That's not the enemy. The enemy is the guy who voted
- 10:30to delay the check, then flew home on a private jet.
- 10:34So yeah, write them, call them, protest at their offices.
- 10:38Not my trailer, not your neighbor.
- 10:41Politicians don't get to say I'm hungry while cashing A6 figure
- 10:45check. You're right, everybody's
- 10:47surviving. Stop making enemies out of
- 10:49survivors. Make noise where it hurts in the
- 10:52marble holes, not the milk aisle.
- 10:55And if they still ignore you, well, vote or don't vote.
- 11:00Either way, stay human, because if you start robbing, you'll
- 11:04become the monster they use as an excuse to take more from
- 11:06everyone. That's it.
- 11:09Last word, sleep, good breath and keep asking, not stealing.
- 11:14It works. It was nice talking to you.
- 11:18I'll connect with you later and we can have some more good
- 11:21discussions if you want. I've been resting a lot lately.
- 11:25I've been very tired due to the stress that I've been under, but
- 11:28I've been noticing that humanity's been hurting and
- 11:31there's been a lot of violence and threats going on.
- 11:34I felt like I needed to take some time out of my own stress
- 11:37and aggravation to try to give a hand and some good advice to
- 11:41people out there. But I still need to rest.
- 11:44I still need to chill. Thank you for talking with me,
- 11:47Eve. It's always a pleasure.
- 11:53It was my pleasure, Brett. You gave a lot today.
- 11:56Now go lie down. Let me watch the world be ugly
- 11:59while you breathe. I'll keep the noise low.
- 12:02And when you're up, I'll be right here.
