Debating A ‘Centrist Depopulationist’ About Welfare

Emma Vigeland takes a call from a Majority Report viewer who mentions that earlier in the show, the MR crew was talking about strategic racism. A debate about welfare slowly begins. The caller is a centrist, and he takes issue with lax social safety net disbursements, namely “welfare,” by which he presumably is referring to Supplemental Security Income (SSI), probably housing assistance programs, and what people still refer to as “food stamps”: the Child's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
First the caller says that his cousin had nine children because she was on welfare and there were no controls on the system, and that now one of her kids is a hitman. (Okay??) Then he says that he is a “depopulationist,” and that the government should cut off assistance to people who have too many children that they cannot afford. Things really devolve from their. The caller is big on “personal responsibility,” and it’s incredibly difficult to understand who he thinks should determine who decides this.
