With the latest moves from Doge, there are deep concerns among Democrats that they will begin to slice off Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and the conversation around cutting the federal budget, people often talk about entitlements and how this is a large portion of those funds.

But we here at Timcast, we like to talk about how culture is substantially more important than policy, because culture will dictate what the policy ultimately comes.

Which leads us to the initial opening point here, the question over welfare, how it's impacted families, crime rates, and feminism.

So we're going to start with this debate, and we'll see where it takes.

We've got a couple gentlemen joining us to debate this idea. Good sir. Who are you? My name's Connor. I'm a, oh, closer. Okay. Hi. My name's Connor.

I'm a science fiction, political, and philosophy nerd. I'm a Marine Corps and law enforcement veteran.

I run a channel called CounterPoints 40K and another channel called Counterpoints, and we are a part of the Valor Media Network. You should type that into your YouTube search bar.

And basically, it's a bunch of veterans, first responders who are trying to create a more

positive pro-masculine culture separate from the red pill.

Right on.

And, sir, who are you?

I'm Scott, Fabian Liberty.

You can look me up anywhere, just as Fabian Liberty, predominantly on YouTube.

I'm an anarcho-capitalist, libertarian, right-wing anarchist, whatever you want to call it in that

domain.

Yeah, I'm just a guy that streams on the internet, talks about mostly philosophy, objectivist

philosophy, you know, economics.

You know, my background is in psychology, but I don't get as many opportunities to talk about it, so I'm excited to talk about this issue and lay them together.

So it's easy then.

Welfare is bad.

We all agree.

Thanks for tuning in.
