A clip from a previous *No Agenda* episode details how welfare rules in the 1960s required men to leave the home for women to receive aid. Mo Facts warns that Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) will give the government ultimate control to reward or punish behavior. He recalls seeing men run out the back door of rent-controlled apartments when inspectors arrived to check for "able-bodied men."

The "no man in the house" rule required fathers to be absent for families to receive welfare benefits, a policy the hosts describe as intentional social engineering. Personal accounts describe welfare workers conducting night raids to ensure no able-bodied men were present. This policy is blamed for the high rate of fatherless households and the subsequent rise of the "baby mama" culture and the prison-industrial complex.

A series of clips and personal anecdotes illustrate the invasive nature of welfare enforcement, where state agents conducted night searches to ensure no able-bodied men were present in recipient homes. One speaker recalls being coached as a child to lie to white welfare officials about his father's presence. These policies positioned the state as the surrogate husband, displacing black men from their households.
