Social Security and Medicare is factored in, but the numbers look obviously off. He has a source for the racial breakdown of SS recipients, but then the source actually doesn't break down the data by race at all. Notably, he decided to use a source buried in a book instead of a data set, but going through the pages it doesn't appear to be there. I find this common with propaganda pages.

The figure for non-Medicare welfare appears to be double what the CBO has, a not unimportant discrepancy since that's where he does most of the shift.

Then there is the figures for total government spending, at $7.5 trillion... which just doesn't tie out to FY18. Even if it wasn't over by almost a trillion, it's totally unclear if he is remembering to back out federal grants to state and local, and then state aid from local grants, to avoid double and triple counting. The total deficit is also way off.

It's napkin math.
