=== Felony Friendly Job Requirements (07:42) ===

[00:00:00]  All right, so this perfectly healthy 38-year-old dude just lost his DBT and his reaction is blowing up the internet.
[00:00:08]  Ashamed of nothing, but offended by everything.
[00:00:10]  Devastated, actually.
[00:00:12]  Continuing coverage now on the aftermath of the federal government shutdown and the new eligibility requirements for food assistance benefits.
[00:00:21]  Well, if you are what the government calls able-bodied, you could lose access to SNAP.
[00:00:27]  Prox 17 is Karen Aguilar telling us what those requirements are and brings us reaction tonight.
[00:00:33]  Government officials say if you are 18 to 65 years old, you don't have a disability, you don't live with kids under the age of 14, and you don't work at least 20 hours a week, you'll likely lose your SNAP benefits.
[00:00:46]  Some people on SNAP tell me they don't know if they'll have enough money to afford groceries.
[00:00:52]  That's some bullshit.
[00:00:53]  Nelson Scott is on the verge of losing access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
[00:01:00]  He is 38, not disabled, doesn't have any kids, doesn't go to school, and doesn't have a job.
[00:01:06]  Pull your pants up.
[00:01:09]  That's crazy.
[00:01:10]  You're 38 years old.
[00:01:12]  No kids, no job.
[00:01:14]  You're healthy.
[00:01:15]  You don't go to school.
[00:01:16]  You ain't doing nothing.
[00:01:18]  You're just a leech on society.
[00:01:19]  Yeah.
[00:01:20]  What are you doing all day?
[00:01:21]  That's 24 hours in a day.
[00:01:23]  What are you doing all day?
[00:01:26]  Those are just some of the reasons he is no longer eligible for SNAP benefits.
[00:01:32]  How much did SNAP help you?
[00:01:33]  It helped me a lot.
[00:01:34]  I get $2.92 a month.
[00:01:36]  The U.S. Department of Agriculture crackdown is led by President Trump, who signed the one big beautiful bill into law in July.
[00:01:43]  The government shutdown stalled the November 1st deadline for implementation.
[00:01:48]  However, these changes are still coming up.
[00:01:51]  We help Sidney Anderson is a senior director of nutrition advocacy with the Tennessee Justice Center.
[00:01:57]  Because of rules like this, we can see individuals that are going to be forced to skip meals.
[00:02:05]  She points out senior citizens and children between the age of 15 and 18 will be most impacted.
[00:02:12]  Brick Williams is a conservative political analyst.
[00:02:14]  A 15 or 16 year old can take care of theirself at home while you go work.
[00:02:18]  There's no reason you can't be working.
[00:02:20]  Exactly.
[00:02:21]  Exactly.
[00:02:22]  You know what?
[00:02:22]  Like, Democrats condition their constituents to be dependent on the government.
[00:02:27]  Yeah.
[00:02:27]  Like they subsidize irresponsibility.
[00:02:30]  When you do that, you think these people are just one day going to be responsible people of society?
[00:02:36]  And he's only getting $292 a month.
[00:02:42]  He can go out and find any job that pays more than that.
[00:02:46]  Any job.
[00:02:47]  He'll get that in like a day's work.
[00:02:51]  Worst case scenario, three days.
[00:02:54]  He's dependent on $292 a month to live.
[00:02:59]  He can't go.
[00:02:59]  That is crazy.
[00:03:02]  What job that doesn't will not pay you will not enable you to earn $292 a month?
[00:03:08]  That's like average, what, two days of work?
[00:03:11]  Any mediocre job?
[00:03:12]  Yeah.
[00:03:13]  Yeah.
[00:03:14]  And he says it's totally unacceptable.
[00:03:16]  Yeah, some people just don't have no ambition.
[00:03:19]  Yeah.
[00:03:20]  Well, the money thing, they don't have the wherewithal.
[00:03:24]  We can say he's lazy.
[00:03:26]  No, I don't think he's lazy.
[00:03:27]  No, that dude's lazy.
[00:03:29]  I think it's more than that.
[00:03:30]  I think you're giving that man too much credit.
[00:03:32]  He's 38 years old, don't even know how to wear a pair of pants.
[00:03:40]  There are plenty of jobs out there.
[00:03:42]  Scott tells me, as a convicted felon, getting a job isn't easy.
[00:03:47]  Well, I will get one.
[00:03:48]  Whose fault is that?
[00:03:51]  So you're a convicted fellow, you can't get a job.
[00:03:53]  So now it's the government responsibility to take care of you.
[00:03:56]  Yeah, that's backwards.
[00:03:58]  I wonder what he's got a felony for.
[00:04:00]  Oh, I'm probably armed robbery.
[00:04:03]  I'm not hiring this dude.
[00:04:04]  That's dude, what you do for armed robbery?
[00:04:12]  Scott tells me, as a convicted felon, getting a job isn't easy.
[00:04:17]  I will get one if y'all give me one.
[00:04:18]  Y'all be felony friendly and hire us.
[00:04:20]  The Tennessee Department of Human Services.
[00:04:22]  You got to be felony friendly.
[00:04:26]  Felony friendly?
[00:04:30]  Hey, come on, man.
[00:04:31]  Me, if I want to wish to employ somebody, I'm going to do a background check.
[00:04:36]  Sometimes I might take a chance.
[00:04:37]  Oh, you made a stupid decision based on what you did, but you probably got something very significant on your rap sheet that nobody's willing to take a chance on you.
[00:04:47]  You've actually absolutely destroyed people's trust in you by the horrible, despicable crimes you committed early on in your life.
[00:04:54]  Yeah, like if I was in his shoes, I would employ myself.
[00:04:59]  Yeah.
[00:04:59]  I would learn how to cut hair.
[00:05:01]  I would do something that I would learn a trade so I could employ myself.
[00:05:05]  Yeah.
[00:05:06]  Be self-employed.
[00:05:06]  I would learn how to do women's hair.
[00:05:08]  I would learn something.
[00:05:09]  I would learn something.
[00:05:10]  I would learn how to do nails, eyelashes.
[00:05:13]  I would learn how to cut hair, do women's hair.
[00:05:15]  Man, man, I'd be doing people's toenails, hands.
[00:05:19]  Yep.
[00:05:20]  Kevin's.
[00:05:22]  I just do like the Latinos do.
[00:05:24]  I go home, make a bunch of mamwiches, and then have all the meat and the buns.
[00:05:28]  I'd take a little cart and go inside or, hey, mamwich is here.
[00:05:31]  $29 on a mamwich.
[00:05:33]  Buy two mamwiches.
[00:05:35]  You get a free drink soda.
[00:05:38]  I would do something.
[00:05:40]  Yeah.
[00:05:40]  Who wants to sit around and wait for a check from the government?
[00:05:43]  Who can't make $292 a month?
[00:05:47]  You could be, you could create a YouTube channel and just spit absolute garbage and make $292 a month.
[00:05:55]  Yeah.
[00:05:56]  More than that.
[00:05:57]  Yeah.
[00:05:58]  Because hell, you will be a multi-millionaire if you apply, if you use Teeth's idea and film it and upload it on YouTube.
[00:06:06]  People watch that.
[00:06:07]  Yeah.
[00:06:08]  Convicted felon here started my own manwitch business.
[00:06:12]  Hell, don't stop at manwitches.
[00:06:14]  Do hamburger helper.
[00:06:15]  Do all that.
[00:06:17]  Man, but don't do it in the hood.
[00:06:18]  You're going to get robbed.
[00:06:19]  Some fella is going to take off.
[00:06:21]  Absolutely.
[00:06:22]  Because you're going to be a cash-based business.
[00:06:25]  You'll be an easy target.
[00:06:28]  You can't possess a gun.
[00:06:29]  You're a felon.
[00:06:30]  Yeah.
[00:06:30]  And then you see why nobody wants to hire a felon.
[00:06:33]  Right.
[00:06:34]  Services still hasn't answered me.
[00:06:37]  When the new changes will be implemented, we will keep you updated if we hear back.
[00:06:42]  Reporting in Nashville, Karen Aguilar, Fox 17 News, your code station.
[00:06:46]  Devastated, actually.
[00:06:47]  Continuing.
[00:06:48]  Devastated.
[00:06:49]  Devastated.
[00:06:50]  You've probably been on EBT for like, I would say, the majority of your adult life, and you never tried to achieve anything better than that.
[00:06:58]  You know what's sad about this whole story is you're happy with $292 a month to make ends meet.
[00:07:05]  So I'm pretty sure wherever you're residing at, you're not paying any rent.
[00:07:09]  You're not paying nobody.
[00:07:10]  You're not helping with electricity.
[00:07:11]  You're not helping with groceries or anything.
[00:07:14]  You're just a leek.
[00:07:16]  Bloodsucker.
[00:07:17]  Vampire.
[00:07:19]  A disgrace.
[00:07:21]  Now, I do have some empathy for you.
[00:07:23]  You did something probably horrible wrong early on in your life, and you totally regret that.
[00:07:28]  But hey, that's not, that does not justify giving you a reason to just stay home and just be a leech on society.
[00:07:35]  You have to overcome those ramifications you have to endure because of your stupid, stupid decisions you made early on in your life.

=== Regretting Early Life Crimes (00:47) ===

[00:07:42]  I'm glad we never, I never broke the law.
[00:07:44]  I've never been convicted of a felon or anything.
[00:07:47]  Well, you never got caught.
[00:07:49]  I've never, I've never committed a felony.
[00:07:52]  Yeah.
[00:07:52]  I've committed several misdemeanors, but I never got caught.
[00:07:57]  Felony, you out there doing something crazy.
[00:07:59]  Felonies, felony is a serious charge.
[00:08:04]  You know, everybody, for the most part, I would say at one time or another, have actually made mistakes, made a mistake, misdemeanors.
[00:08:13]  Yeah, but when you commit a felony, when you commit felonies, you don't care.
[00:08:21]  That's a serious crime.
[00:08:24]  Felony friendly.
[00:08:26]  Man, only a black man would say that.
