  Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: where we talk to our friend and sponsor of the show,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Zach Abraham from Bulwark Capital Management. Got some rage bait
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: going today. And that is, there's this video that's going
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: around on socials of a woman who is ranting about
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the fact that she was called out by a fellow
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: shopper at the store for using EBT while having her
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: nails done. And in fact, her nails, as she told
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: this other shopper, cost $ 85. And then at the same time,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: she's using EBT for groceries. And so this woman let
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: her have it. And then she went on a tear
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on social media to be like, how dare this woman
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: question me? I can use EBT and have nice nails
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: at the same time.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So those two are not like mutually exclusive.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of, there's a lot of, you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: controversy sort of around this topic in general about like,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: even what you're allowed to use EBT for, for the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: kind of groceries. Like a lot of people are like,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't get to use it for, you know, Coke
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: or whatever, like soft drinks or junk food or whatever.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on this?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: My thoughts are, you really see and hear a lot
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: of strange things that you never thought you'd see or
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: hear when you take shame out of society.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We say this all the time.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: All the time, Zach.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Right. I'm looking at that lady going, wait a second.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: You posted this video online?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Right? What?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: On purpose. It's not a flex lady.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Right. You're not suing somebody because they posted that video.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Just how embarrassing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Second of all, and this needs to be a bipartisan issue.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: When we talk about the fraud and misuse of social
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: safety nets, this is what we're talking about. You don't
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: need an EBT card. Now, our friends on the left
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: might say, well, she filled this out legally. That isn't fraud.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: And you go, okay, bud.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: What do you call it when somebody is effectively using
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: food stamps to get nails?
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Well, she didn't use, I'm like, stop right now. Let's
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: not play. The money isn't fungible.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Right. Grow up. Okay.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: What you're saying is that you find it acceptable for
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: her to use an EBT card.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: To get a $ 5 nails. That's what you're saying. Okay.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Taxpayers defend that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And what people don't realize, and we need to
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: wake up to is guys. Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the real number is, but if
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: we dug deep, my suspicion is, is that you, that
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: probably represents 35 to 50% of social spending out there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: On social media and that stuff. Right. It's probably low. Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that the people that I'm not
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: saying that 50% of the people that are getting it
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be getting it. What I'm saying is they may
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: meet the qualifications, but it is not being used in
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the way that it's intended.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: It is not being used for necessities.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: It usually, and what I have seen is the most
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: common use I see it for is actually for quote
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: unquote luxuries, right? Like for instance, I see people purposely,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and I know people, like I'm saying, I know of this.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I've got people in extended.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Family that meet this criteria where they have not gotten
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: married on purpose because the excess benefits they get from
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the state mean that the mom can be a stay
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: at home mom, right? So everybody's like, We want to
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: give a tax credit for stay at home parenting. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you effectively already do. It's called welfare as
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: long as you're not married. Right. And so when you
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: start looking at when you start looking at the entitlement
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: spending through that lens, that's where I'm looking at people
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and going, look, guys, I don't understand why you think
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: it's your job to embrace fraudsters. But this is what
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: we mean, meaning our finances in this country are way
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: out of line. But truth be told, if we look
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: at what's misspent and we're willing to reallocate things and
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: look at things through a critical and responsible lens, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: don't think that the gap is as big as it appears.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: There's a ton of misappropriated money. We are certainly massively
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: overspending in certain areas. And then a lot of the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: spending that's going on out there right now isn't.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Beneficial. Like I said, it's luxury spending like we're seeing
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: with this lady. And this isn't new. I remember this
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: happening back in college.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I ever told you guys this story,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: but I remember my wife and I in college going
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: through the grocery store, like late at night with our budget,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you know, grocery shopping list. And we pull up to
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: this woman that's got this cart overflowing. That's back in
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the days where you like admired somebody's cart. You know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you're like, dude, look at that cart. Like that just,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: that might as well be bricks of gold.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? They're like, Oh, dude's got
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: a full looking cart.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And, uh, and, She's all dressed out in like juicy
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: couture and her kids wearing Jordan shoes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: She probably drove a Mercedes.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Escalade with 22 inch rims on it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And paid for the groceries. Yeah. And that was 20
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: years ago. Right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And we know the numbers. We know the numbers are
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: magnified beyond that. You know where we're at now.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: How can they live with themselves? I don't understand people
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: who don't have just the.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, like we've talked about this a
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: lot too. That's a great, what she's asking is a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: great question because there's the financial part of it, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: there's also, like you said, the shame part of it
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: where like, I remember being in school and when you
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: got a peanut butter sandwich, it was like the end
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of the world if you forget your lunch money, right?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Now it's like people are on, social media has amplified
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this whole I'm flexing that I'm on EBT and I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: have fake nails too, that are $ 85. It's like, I don't, I'm,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: there's such a disconnect in our society where people are
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: proud of being on welfare. It used to be that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that was embarrassing and now they're proud of it. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's like, what, what have we become?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: It's so bad.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: And it's so, and you'll hear people say, and this
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: is where.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: I wish all people could sit political ideology to the
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: side and look at things for what they really are.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Because this is where there's some, in my opinion, like
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: some deep insidious nastiness built into the whole deal. You know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: like meaning it's like we've all heard about the tyranny
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: of like low expectations.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: But you kind of see it writ large across the culture, right?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Like it's, well, that's except, well, they shouldn't be embarrassed
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: about being on public assistance.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: And I look and I look at him and I go, why?
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: What's the incentive to get off then?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Right. Exactly.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: And when I say embarrassed, meaning like, should you feel
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: like a complete fit? No, but it should be, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I'm always reminded of Cinderella man, that movie where he
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: kept bringing that up.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. When he goes around with the hat.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Like, why are we okay?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: What good will come of teaching? Just like, think about
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: this in a moral sense. What good will come of
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: teaching people to be comfortable with.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Taking a handout? Yeah.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: What benefit comes from that other than their reliance on you?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: What good comes from that? It's like feeding the raccoons, right?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: They're going to keep, they're more and more and more
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: and they're not, they're going to quit hunting for themselves.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And it's just, it's the tyranny of low expectations. You
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: see the same thing happening in the educational system, right?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Like it's, and I always tell my kids this, Your
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: enemy tells you what you cannot do and gives you
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: tons of excuses for why you can't. Your friend tells
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you you can and gives you multiple ways in which
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: you can, right? When did we decide that our mission
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: and being kind to somebody is telling them what they
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: can't do and the myriad of cultural and societal reasons
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: for that, right?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You're just stuck.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, kid, you were born black, so you're not going
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: to be good at math. Somebody's going to quote this
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: and try to make me look like a racist.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: But no, in our, in our state, they got rid
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: of accelerated math classes because we determined that they were
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: racist because black kids.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: Weren't in them. It's unreal. So black kids can't count good. Right.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: And you know, my wife being black and having her MBA,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: she's looking around going, I didn't have a problem learning math.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I feel like I did.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like I could do that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Believe it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Believe it or not, I was able to figure out
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: my way through calculus.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: It's just wild. If it was dressed in any other robe,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: we'd call it racism. Yeah, totally. Totally.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Normally, this is about the time in our discussion that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I would be having you promote where people could find you,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm feeling personally attacked by the raccoon comment from.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Earlier, so... I can see where you're offended. You're offended.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, because I did just spend some time feeding
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: raccoons in Miami.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: She does love raccoons. She does, indeed.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, who doesn't love a trash panda every
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: once in a while? Right?
• 9:11
