actually referred to you a bit earlier. one of your questions, this idea of this in, during colonialist mindset, you would think in 2024 not just thought the last couple of years have really seen a huge acceleration of the emotions of a multi po to well daughter. but you would think that nations who still pursued colonialists policies would understand that there is no place in the world left for them. but it seems about mentality continues to enjoy. but it is very difficult. and in fact, the total will say that what kind of interest to continue to have they have what we have seen in africa. we have seen the above time. that is done against the africans, vasquez and debbie at all. so the best thing that the mindset is something that doesn't fully easily. it takes time for people to adjust to the web and 21st century. at this time, the world is changing very plus may not be,
9:31 am
but it positively budget is changing. we have seen be more and more countries, especially even remember the powers are taking the elections and the international discourse, undermining the most of the letter d of the multilateral institutions. and so therefore that you wouldn't get a dilution. the i see the adjustments are not being the spectrum that gave me suicide by just right. well, we have very much appreciate you getting we'll professional inside of, of course, and you'll come into that was i know to cannot form an engine on possibly 2 children on lippy. thank you very much for your time. thank you. well, there's all, i was stories. the sob, but next up i would talk to mentor team, really hits the roads in america south to test out a radical fairy what's the government just handed out free cash to it. citizens woodside, to be happy, would it be rich, or would it be more productive? well, they offices are coming away now. enjoy the
9:32 am
the, there's 2 things we love in this country. it's cache and freedom. anybody's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you ain't got no cash, you ain't got no freedom shackle jack, i'll do a job that exploits you shackle to get interest right. this apps, you drag shackled to medical bills for ailments, so they could have their own student loans, their default the, you know, it's an oppressive in this heart and the state of affairs that lays people doing whatever they can just describe by because they don't have any other choice and that's not freedom, but the universe of isaac income can give you afraid of lots of free freedom to go back to school to learn new skills, freedom to take care of and aging parents. the freedom to start a small business, the freedom to leave an abusive relationship, the freedom to just not have to worry about money. every single seconds of every
9:33 am
day. the bombing up until literally the last 2 years of my life lives been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just, i live in paycheck to paycheck, not having any extra money for any thing at all. and you know, things happen. my name is tre crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read drake. router little read. what's a try, crowded long time. no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my payables. lot people asked me what i like about black live matter. well, put simply i find that they do for a long time when i was a young adult,
9:34 am
i didn't have health insurance, you know. and so i wouldn't do i intramural sports and stuff like that in college. i have sincerely because i was like, well, you know, when i blow my knee out or something, i'm screwed and those just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice. so if i take ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just the technically that a lot of people in this country are living that day to day. you know all the time, only 41 percent of us adults have an up savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that my son couldn't afford the life setting the saving medication he needed for swimming on a planet picture is simply staggering. the pandemic is also causing many to go
9:35 am
hungry. my bills are going to back up, but i'm going to be in trouble here. couple a student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always going to be there for me. personally, i've heard about the idea of the universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go. that's at least a solution because we're going to have to do something. the idea is this. every citizen in this country would receive a $1000.00 a month every month, no strings attached. that might seem far best to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up in. only wrong. i'm grateful for him, but i kinda look back on those programs and food stamps and all of that. the same way that i look back on the final season, a game of thrones. i'm still glad that it exists, but it could have and should have been so much better. we deserve better. you be, i is actually not a new idea. in america,
9:36 am
you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas paint, you know, the guy who 1st convinced people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther king junior was for you. we are one of answers. it seems to me, is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income of people, and pro pamela is about 1969, richard dixon even proposed that actual plan to congress let us place a floor under the income of every family, with children in america. and without those, the meanings souls fire with no problems for human dignity, that soul bite the lions a welfare of welfare children. the day one started in america actually already has a form of basic income, alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child. to be an example for the world, the lights and the lamps comes out to be extremely proud of it because as
9:37 am
a whole concept of people owning your resources, then the government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government getting the money and partially moved out, and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic image screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and the rest of the country? taxes? yeah, said the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to in corporate welfare, get big tech to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net the world has ever seen. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isn't going to some big solis government bureaucracy . it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. the toby law firm, a small town, a lot of times, especially in the south, it can end up in this like sort of
9:38 am
a small town contest thing where it's like now my hometown, smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an argument that i typically win because it's really, really small. i remember saladas dislikes quite a little southern town with, you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good at the town square was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses, a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the town was economy. it was this big clothing factory where most people worked and that's for my mom works best for me. i might ever call her to come out there for a long, long time and then i'm i tubs. my dad, he was, he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so have her body as on the talk table. this worked osh kosh,
9:39 am
osh kosh. that's kosh then. if you heard of osh kosh, val gosh, or whatever, yeah. for decades, the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory in the mid ninety's after night it made like a stone or at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus year stance. and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon so. so on the, in my opinion is like a textbook example of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income and then also from the states. but you think the people there would be all for it with it. i don't know that that is true. the, there it is saying that the crime these they ask us for gosh, factors, yes, my gosh, it is. how long do you know how long it was here?
9:40 am
the factory was here and when he close people at work there, 40 years, go ahead after you. i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that maybe a factory was going to be closed. i mean, people stop coming in to the restaurant and spending 4 bucks on the, you know, a sub or something like that. if it was $34.00, or $5.00, people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe, my mom and dad are running the video store and the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school, that i'm literally all going to say. and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all of this stuff with mama are getting all strung out. i'm going to jail my, my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happens, you know, and like it affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple effects
9:41 am
other than that see yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like just the hits just kept on coming. the saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well i know, i mean i don't know hand. yeah. i'm not looking for hand. well here's the white bring, bring the job back. that's what you need to do politicians. but like, i mean, can easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way. oh yeah, i can see that. right. well, i think that's going to be the problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check. right, right. see what they did, right? presumably they biased or, you know, finally get like the find out 1st on their car, whatever that i've been putting in for forever. but i'm saying they're going to go to some mechanic around here to do that. you want to main like fear, radically a big portion of it would get like pump straight back in to just to the general
9:42 am
economy because they're gonna spinning all the things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because i ain't had them need to do the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this so a pay check every month even if you do not have a job. i think it's a continuation towards the road of socialism in america welfare should be a 2nd chance and not a way of life. we're going to take from you over here to give to you over here because that's what we're going to do with the universal base again, come when you're texting people and redistributing wealth without marriage, that he encourages lazy. not forced warren buffet to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you can not appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. the
9:43 am
know you might, this trust is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. the men know you must trust. it's doing this in the form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited. it's like my 2nd child in the matter a month, so i have 2 kids and 2018 and they know you mothers trust is one of the it is taking a population that works so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying we see, we honor your story, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. the they will lead us from in disappoint forgives. so support my kids, tell me pay bills and have enough to stretch from month to month
9:44 am
when my mom was in abusive relationships, i day it was very, very small. so when i got into my relationship model issue was abusive and i was like, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh, all in a relationship that i mean is not working. so you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so that's what i did. i'm going to jason and i brought this a $1000.00 a month. no strings attached. if you use i have, i would like them moves. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. that one night when mamma faces way here, we actually fell asleep on the couch and all seemed us was right here, right outside the door. the shots are the 1st day and they came to my
9:45 am
mind square my babies after you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm not stay here forever. i will get back in school, pay of some dis agency to raise my credit score. so that i can get the home that i want for me and my little the the,
9:46 am
to all of the individuals that we work with, living communities where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact them benefits when cash is infused into these situations where individuals are highly subsidized, but then also we're trying to get a better understanding of how the women themselves are able to show up. are they less stress? are they more engaged in their local community or they're more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards careers and not just the job because they have their freedom the, the, the church. um
9:47 am
you pretty much get notified. getting the middle ones or is that ready? take him to the bus, stop a lease by $545.00. do you need them off the school or actually come back to the house? always when she's getting ready, her boss will arrive. no later is 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the. busy terrible toothache. well once you get that code and come along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see the rating myself and also be in place a like 720 some light rushing. the so i think the lack of sleep is very challenging. i want to at least get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i want
9:48 am
a job. this is going to make is meet. i want to be able to, in saving, you know, take trips and do all of the things too. so in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. just by virtue of your being here. you deserve a life for you and your family can drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually so strings is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very size about these are not really having too many like rules or just tell you or you and you have seen it on or how much she has to say. let me say. and that's when i was on tanf the somebody's for gays, you have to put this, this is for gas and transportation. well, he's seen it. so i see you. i'm off,
9:49 am
you can say food stamps and pay light b like you can take food stamps and get your medicine. so is, is a big difference. being able to just go and do everything i need to go with is going to be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work that's, that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what it is that they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. this actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in, in the complication of the systems, but they're not wife and you're just in effect that for example, if you're on 10 of your case worker could say ok, you have 2 weeks to get a job but no support is provided and getting that job. no child care is provided. why you're looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks,
9:50 am
you are sanctioned. in most cases that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days. that's what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring the church household. you are to have to take a moment list. that's thinking that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana. because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids a need. sorry. oh, okay. and instead of recognizing that it's the policies that are wrong were blaming the families, were saying, oh family. so i want to go where r o families don't wanna, you know, have to take the drug tests that were required in the take because they're on drugs . now is none of that. if you went out and had conversations, you could actually really get to what the problems are with these policies that are being implemented. i think our current safety system is not working. and so i
9:51 am
believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite the system. the everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. every body deserves to be able to have safe and adequate housing. everyone deserves to be able to depend on a meal, a society they cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. society that leads people in the coal without options, cannot call the self civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy, an economy which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show that that actually operates in the best interest of all. we have to equip mothers to be able to care for their children. and the more we're able to do that, the more home societies were raising the more hol,
9:52 am
circumstances and conditions were lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say the in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help . and if that doesn't immediately sound unfair to you, consider that different people's different financial lows can be very wide ranging hard to quantifier typically time sensitive and overall, just generally speaking pretty damn complicated to sort out. luckily for them, every american knows that our government ex sales at resolving complex and nuanced issues and an efficient and judicious manner. rise as joe now its impact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd that you are deemed worthy of receiving government simple. the minute you get
9:53 am
a job and your income increases that support will decrease. think about the incentives of that that can make it so that it doesn't make financial sense to take a job if it's a low paying job. if you are a single parent, you need child care for when you're working. you can be successful in your job, search and end up worse off than you were before when you were on government assistance alone. that's called a poverty trap. the universal basic income, on the other hand, is an unconditional system. you don't have to prove that you deserve anything. you don't have to constantly jump through bureaucratic hopes. you don't have to choose between working a job and actually being able to afford your bales because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic slower on which we all can stay at the one to let you know we're having a townhome discussion and cook out tomorrow. i'm just heading out flyers for event . we're having tomorrow at the courthouse. my name is alma so lucky and i'm an
9:54 am
associate professor of practice in political science at n y u, shanghai. awesome. it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse. ok. and we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to town. so it's one of the a rate is people really understood with the basic income is i think it be great if this is something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring the broader attention to the idea based income. and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. the . the simplest way to like explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. i think if we get these details right,
9:55 am
basic income can eliminate poverty. can increase economic security for working folks and can give a boost to local economy is like the economy of selena. does it sound good to you? that doesn't sound too good to be true. the face, how would i go by? exactly whatever. okay, here's one more on your wedding. ready to put money on your electric and then you know, you're wondering how you're going to get that back and i have no clue. i'm going to give that back that i would rather my bills be pays entering beyond my senior such
9:56 am
as i say, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want as in india to i just want to be able to pay my bill for my kids. that's all i want to be able to get the last thursday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3, but his oldest otis when he's young, that judge, look, i just got a job and i'll start paying however much shortly to pay most of it. that wasn't good enough that he is being said, it's to $180.00 days or until sampling can come up with $700.00 about $700.00. a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to do. so with hand on, what do you use for christmas? what do you know mean to they know the soonest, the like, the harder i tried so much seems to be normal for further and i go back
9:57 am
the one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for very long time care work as being devalued. we've divided care work as the sites and if we think about what really matters to include society to a society where people liable to flourish. and then of course, realize that care shouldn't be putting much more on the center of the conception of a good to say. and music income by being unconditional enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. the why will what we types the wealthy for basic income is because we take the wealthy or we, we resent them for their success. no,
9:58 am
it's because they're the ones we're benefiting from the economy as it is right now . and they're the ones we're doing well. the, we're not gonna take all their money for real time keeping up so that they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward entrepreneurs, we want to reward people who take business risks. we want to reward people who create jobs for other americans, but we take some of their, some of the gains that they're making and we share it with everybody. and that not only has the effect of reducing economic and security and eliminating poverty. it also has the effect of putting resources in the hands of the people who know best, what to do for their own communities. the,
9:59 am
the analysis that they've done that then you can put them into a facade indeed. and therefore, the window at assuming that the good for them and again, i am in the title is the title i'm seeing send the most of the, to the,
10:00 am
to the most, and the young the public consent. it says on the hon. the on the following, donald trump that attempted assassination, giving us secret service, had running from the thriving mountain of weston, moscow bones that might respond in kind. off the washington announces the deployment of new select hateful missiles in germany. you pistols, drum up, so boom, i'm going to match right. canyon police found protests in library 181 month after a wave of demonstrations against.
