Hello, everyone.

Welcome to the Don Lemon Show.

Snap, we've been talking about that, right, is one of the largest anti-hunger programs in the country, serving about

12% of the U.S. population and providing an average benefit of $187 a month.

Nearly four in 10 recipients are children, and one in five are retired.

And about 28% of participating households work for a living, often full-time, but still earn too

little to keep up with grocery prices that have

spiked more than 20% since 2020. And the program doesn't just feed families. It literally

juices the economy. Every dollar in SNAP benefits generates up to a $1.50 in economic

activity. In many rural towns and low-income neighborhoods, grocery stores rely on this spending to survive.

Well, Donald Trump, we call the Mad Want to be Titan here, doesn't give a rat's ass about it.

He has personally ordered his government to stop sending out SNAP benefits to Americans.

So let's just talk about that.

Jimmy Chen is the founder and CEO, Propel, the largest SNAP benefits app serving in one

and four households nationwide.

Propel is the only company to serve this audience at scale, at scale, reaching 25% of all

SNAP households.

And Jimmy, thanks for joining us.

Can you break down what's happening and what it means for families

on the edge? Yeah, thanks for having me, Don. It is a crazy unprecedented time for low-income

families who are already stretched even before the government shut down and before all these

different changes to snap. So, you know, we talked, we spoke to people who use the Propel app
