many times in canada and alaska and africa and europe there was a study in britain where 13 men who had lived in the streets for years were given $3000.00 pounds each about $4500.00 at the time did they use it for the hundreds of all men milk lattes or giant bags of cracker or drivers wadded up and white themselves. no it turns out not 18 months after getting the money over half were no longer homeless and all of them had improved their lives significantly in the mid beyond figures for malnutrition took a nosedive from 42 percent to 10 percent as did those for truancy from 40 percent to nothing and crime down by 42 percent so you're telling this story. c to tell me there's practically a silver bullet for ending poverty and decreasing crime well we better avoid that like the plague. me let's go back to giving homeless people can a soup and

a pair of socks if they collect enough cans they can build a house. basic income is not untested by 2010 there were income transfer programs for 110000000 families in 45 different countries in north carolina in 2001 the cherokee were getting 6000 dollars a year per family thanks to a casino they had built when they said when that when that started for most of those families that money took them out of extreme poverty and the cherokee children saw a drastic changes their crime rates behavior issues alcohol abuse all went down significantly the money changed their lives and sure yes all casinos are. drunk people spending money they don't have on machines they don't know are rigged in hopes of getting money they won't ever get yes that is true but. you

can't get out of the cherokee because that's also the definition of capitalism. thank you very strong people sending money we all have on machines we don't know or in hopes of getting money you will never get. the university of manchester summarized many you have programs in poor african communities they found households with the money to good use bajan that poverty declined. there can be diverse long term benefits to income health and tax revenues yet don't say and the programs cost less than the alternatives and despite all of these successful trials people people still go when we we can't we cannot have basic income because they're just going to use it for beer and cigarettes well 1st of all so what. the world on fire beer and cigarettes sounds about right and then they. can

track it back i think we're at the point where we can call alcohol and tobacco survival foods the way i am a log i'm supporter and outspoken supporter of universal basic beer and cigarettes . for had more importantly a major study by the world bank demonstrated that 82 percent of all research cases in africa latin america and asia alcohol and tobacco consumption actually declined to find. well the those people have their priorities completely. and one of the other big arguments against u.b.i. is it's not fair giving people money for doing nothing is not fair and my response is. who told you that mattered. who told you ferris had anything to do with our stupid world there's no heat in the 1st 3 seconds you come out of the womb and stop fair you're covered in blood and a doctor slaps your you're being called you may call the name you've never heard

before they are yours and they're going chet my name's chet. i mean there's no fairness some people are born rich some people are born poor some people are bored haha i mean i mean not the baby later they get hot anyway you know what i bet some people are born in wealthy areas with safe streets good schools and clean water some people are born in hell holes with a crime ridden streets terrible schools and water crispy film on it like a cruel a. in our society on average men get paid more than women white people get paid more than black people black people get paid more than native people and they all get paid more than ugly people all right. i'm not kidding ugly people are 9 percent less per hour in the workplace. society is not fair so when i said. so it's all about half our problems and you say

we can't do that because it's not fair that's just completely illogical it's it's it's it's like if i if i said there was a law against killing endangered species and it would save the exotic birds and your response well what can't do that because it's purple. talking about. and perhaps giving people a better shot at life a better shot and not struggling day in and day out perhaps that's more fair than the storm we have now another. argument against you is that it will make people lazy and i would agree with that except. it's not true. studies show it doesn't make the. people work less and even if it did good you have to wrench your body to a corporation a little bit last of your life over the. and the last argument against you is that we can't afford it well here are the facts eradicating poverty in the us

would cost only $175000000000.00 less than one percent of the g.d.p. that's roughly a quarter of the u.s. military spending so not only do we yes have enough money but we also would be saving hundreds of billions in the form of services we would need increased mental health decreased crime etc we would save more than we lose even if we didn't. you know i want to. thank you alex i'm sure some of you are thinking right now why isn't he talking about andrew yang the one presidential candidate who is all about basic income well i'm glad he's talking about of by. ok. he's a multimillionaire who seems to kind of have his head up his his pushback against our. catastrophic he say you know military industrial complex is about

the same as my 2 year old me says neither of them even mention it. and when asked about climate change he said it's time to move to higher ground. there's no higher ground for a drought you know what's just to be as a drought in a valley a drought on a hill. but more importantly move to higher ground is not something poor people can do it's something rich people can do anyway it's time for basic income technology is increasing exponentially the jobs will disappear and instead of demanding more wage slavery we should work less and have a basic income and that would be the 1st step and realizing that that capitalistic market economy is a guarantee death spiral that we have the power to stop was. a

. strong belief can tell us a good news from behind a man who was sentenced to life in prison decades ago after stealing 50 dollars has been set free this week alvin canard was 22 years old when he stole $50.00 from a bakery now after 30 years in prison the courts have let him out i was under the impression. that we had some sort of law against cruel and unusual punishment. if 30 years in confinement for stealing 50 bucks isn't cruel and unusual then i don't know what the hell is if that's not cruel and unusual then we might as

well start sentencing people to. fire ants on the ground rules. because that's less cruel and depending on whether you've ever stayed in a motel 6 last unusual. i speak from experience that at least one area of cruel and unusual punishment is being undone in at least one area chicago this is an update to a story we were brought you a few weeks ago now that marijuana will soon be legal thousands of we've convictions will be automatically expunged in cook county or. thousands upon thousands of people automatically let out of prison wiped off their record as you know i'm for the legalization of marijuana only because that's not the plant i choose to view as a criminal enterprise. my hatred and distrust is directed squarely at lavender

ok. i don't want all of that plant but it's in everything nowadays is 10 drinks and candles and soaps it's permeated our lives all right i bought this for a story i bought and i'm asked so i can sleep on planes and i noticed with a lavender i mask. dream of field of flowers and drag shows in i guess i did galston thing and whiskey and gasoline just in my dreams back on track that. point is it makes perfect sense to make certain plants illegal half the country seems stuck on cannabis but i say. ok. 40000 then again maybe it's utterly insane to make a plan to be legal. and maybe we should focus on arresting a different group of people for example there was another mass shooting this

weekend in texas you probably heard about it and it was perpetrated by the same gang that has been behind almost every single one of over $250.00 mass shootings this year and i find it mind blowing it's absurd that we can't stop this gang from operating this murderous group because by the name white men. and i've done some work in doing these mothers are everywhere all right. they've infiltrated our police our military our congress our panel republics. there are more than lavender. these are scary times if you see one of these dangerous white men while you're out about do not approach them or i do do not you never know how they might respond and don't fall for their false identities either sometimes they pretend to be working at starbucks or some. yeah your name's chat service.

and while thousands maybe tens of thousands of guy's name chet walk free one of the most important white guys is locked up in prison for the crime of journalism julian a sonnet continues to enjoy. continues to tore his course riskin kleinman in belmarsh prison and because hardly anyone in the mainstream media or our government will stand up for him his supporters got the next best thing paying floyd last break roger waters of pink floyd performed outside the british home office to demand a sonne to be released and not extradited to the us and this has got absolutely 0 mainstream media coverage they're busy focusing on a win. the image of florida 3 days before a hurricane might show up. i have an idea our media has tons of stories that they they want to cover up they want to go away how about we let's make a deal you report on the story and we'll let you use it to cover up all the others

you don't like so while you're talking about isaan you won't have to tell anyone that newark new jersey is as politicians have been trying to hide that they are the new flint michigan no one will have to know the new or its water now smells like the rest of new jersey. and you can use the a son story to cover up israel bombing of various countries and or the fact that americans are drowning in debt that is bad that is crazy and then how about the fact that amazon's next day delivery has brought chaos and carnage to america's streets you don't really want to tell people that their most beloved corporation is literally killing pedestrians in order to deliver. diapers and cat food to nitwits on time. do we really need are delivered that fast what is what are in these vans for they filled with organ transplants and. i'm i just

got an idea. today delivery and. our people spend it all going on i don't care of a few kids die i want to have a new gandalf's. anyway i'm a free media we'll let you get away with ignoring all those stories if you just report on the us back imprisonment of the most important journalist in a generation where to go to a quick break but to live. a life taken to the reaction toward ducktown other editors. join me every thursday on the alex salmond's show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics spoil this i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

during the great depression which are old enough to remember there was most of my family were working. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape by the 10 principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy at tax so low down engineer elections manufacture consent and other prince holds according to no i'm jones to one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow sector of will which will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about them on. and civilization

of america. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. did i put this to bed that is the bad terrorists and those in yemen or the united states deems to be a threat to the good that it is some of those who work in syria the cia and the

u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right wing militaries with those funding armies death squads there's no. because there's always a small. willy good. luck when israel bombed 4 countries in the span of 2 days so the new york times reported that the israel iran shadow war escalates it's so shadowy that you would barely notice that iran didn't attack to israel. israel bombed into syria lebannon gaza and all an old favorite iraq who's doing the escalating here is a good well let me rephrase that for you new york times israel as going to bombing

campaign ok all right. how many countries did you really have to bomb to actually be the subject of a headline here to discuss is our militant scholar naomi campbell on it. oh no i know lean the same voice is upsetting and downright offensive to whom i know not and as collation you're right isn't a fair characterization of his role as bombing campaign it wasn't quite a tit for tat it was moral be tempted to attempt it come play on. it's also the day my favorite dirty film so that's. the one why did israel tackle ruck israel didn't. attack iraq it's simple israeli strikes targeted iran backed militias threatening to destabilize iraq because $5000.00 u.s. troops are in iraq right now and the iranian backed troops in iraq blame the u.s.

for the israeli strikes which could lead to a war between iran israel iraq and the u.s. which could draw lebanon and syria into the mix finally a world war started by someone else. i'm sure germans are thinking. so wrong is really strange could draw us into a war with lebanon. and what was it a good all right let's start from the beginning there are ron affiliated militias in iraq they're called the popular mobilization forces since we invaded and sent iraq's entire army home the country was left with no one to fight isis so in 2014 iraq formed the popular mobilization forces which are semi independent militias of mostly shiites who have ties to iran but they operate as the iraqi army israel sees iran's increasing presence as a threat however

a former israeli air force general said the iranian air force belongs in a museum not on a battlefield it poses no serious threat to israel. excuse me general saying something is not a threat to israel is a threat to israel. and there is a very imminent threat of an israeli election. who is facing a tough race so we had to improve his country or shortcut make a neighboring country worse. i think i got it israel feels threatened by good good are you serious brooks was a bright guy. all right let's do this you're israel and i would be as well as 300 ok i'm israel your iran if i had tears over you. as well. you know why i don't have time for this i have

another an appointment to shout about israel to someone else. i'm going to email you an article i think i think i have it israel bombs iranian connected militias who we're fighting alongside to defeat are used but we're also giving israel the bombs they're using so through these preemptive attacks israel is making it seem like they're already at war with iran which could also draw us into another war on a rocky soil run on bravo i mean say. weren't you worried you were going to have to read something that was. there was there was there was closer for a certain israel is convincing the world that they are already at war the israeli army even faked casualties in a hezbollah attack are you serious yet they got caught releasing a staged video of soldiers with bandages and fake blood being evacuated by helicopter oh my god so is this where the brooks it comes in right.

then again. that we all do know the u.s. surveillance state is bigger than it's ever been but did you know average citizens are blanketing our own neighborhoods with cameras voluntarily for more on this we go to our troops bomb or dive to correspondent alan mcgill. most homeowners who install a doorbell camera do so for an added sense of security while some homeowners like me install one strictly for the entertainment. now not all door bell cameras are built the same especially amazones of bring door bell camera which is catching is much heat

as the real amazon because users are just finding out that bore 100 police departments it now have access the citizens amazon ring cameras and some aren't happy the company launched an app in may 20 neighbors which allows residence of a community to upload footage and chant about suspicious looking people and by suspicious looking people i just mean minorities minding their own business the neighbors app as well as rings technology got a boost unpopularity thanks to retired n.b.a. player and america sponsorship whore should kill o'neill who lose movin happy to show off the technology see see 3 cs jack of course you can see is shack this is a 7 foot tall black man in his forty's who has a want to game of hide and seek some still reagan administration it but

a should be even more concerning that police can request your ring camera footage without a warrant even if there are technically supposed to ask your permission 1st and of asking nicely doesn't work police can requests to bring camera footage directly from amazon even of our ring customer did nice the provide police with the footage it's a work around that allows police to essentially so pete out any thing captured on bring cameras well that's frighteningly invasive but at least i know i haven't done anything stupid in front my friends door bell can wait you know. this isn't our wall. i think i was supposed to paper the yard. they get this wrong you think this stuff no one is made out of is the same sort of human teeth they're

made out of. yet they. don't close they were in the outside. like my behind i'm going to need that footage wiped asap but law enforcement cooperation in making ring and the neighbors app even more popular comes at their detriment that's because police are now being inundated with way more false alarms than actual crime like back in february when a news outlet called the outline detail of an incident in which a resident told police after seeing footage of someone walking through her front door in california the dispatcher helped the caller realize she was watching footage of herself entering her home. if you're going to call the police to get yourself arrested at least have the decency to be a wall street c.e.o.'s so it's not a waste of everyone's time. but false alarms like these are bound to keep happening

especially since ring encourages police departments to become an extension of their marketing and it has been simply asked law enforcement and at least one case not to use the word surveillance or security camera to describe the security cameras it sells and the surveillance network it is built it's time to have over 400 law enforcement agencies to partner with ring no you won't tolerate this. just. i don't do it the way i did it ok hello. my i half. of. the quote is from a neighborhood clock that only may kill redacted tonight. here are your headlines from the future or next week you'll read the. israel uses

u.s. bombs to strike iranian backed syrian fighters in isis held a rocky territory to piss off russian backed turkish soldiers. good enough and 2 days from now will learn porn site offers universal basic. sorry. but i thought i was a pretty old almost every day and you do all the good back to the nice. guy thanks to last time but i have to keep my thanks. said she stressed to. this or that the british at the bill of the internet that it was to. stop the show was to you she didn't taste

the taste fisheries have a cia which quite all show. you which book i thought at which she never happened and now look what you've seen in the best teacher come over to me for sure and. want to talk to you so it appears from my if you're going to receive you. get to mr ellsworth supporters are still with them to spirit for this interview for you both to do just that it's a studio actually of course a person to be vocal for sure it's just the same spin. expressed she. joined me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

well you know the pirates they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're into small boats next to the hard pool of ships and it's. not something. the little self to be told fish already 90 percent of the dock and he won't be calmer. concept 15 scoops 75 tons they do it several times a day with a big fleet so no you get an idea on why. we have to understand we can all still use to just. be with them this will be deal for you because you are. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

in the headlines this weekend the u.s. state department confirms that attempted to braai the captives that a radio oil tanker the center of a diplomatic route so they could seize the best. rights continue in south africa with foreign owned businesses are being looted in the capital john is but coming up we report from people that. think up on time they need to add on to a cloak of old men don't bring this up they don't know it tough life it with a chemist and i just prayed to be in south africa to fly you know fools because the people thought the good middle of sunday i'm not a good father made fun of middle of the bones you know a lot of yod residents of a neighborhood in jerusalem off curious up to the u.s. embassy this starts the building you.
