Part 2/8:
The speaker begins by referencing a recent "Tax the Rich" rally in New York City, noting the visibly diminished physical condition of protest participants who are reportedly rationing food due to potential cuts in SNAP benefits. This observation serves as an indictment of welfare policies, with the speaker vociferously advocating for the abolition of the program, arguing that it subsidizes individuals capable of working but refusing to do so—especially those from countries like India, Somalia, and Pakistan.
