medical bills for ailments, so old they could have their own student loans, their default. they know it's an impressive and disheartening state of affairs. that leaves people doing whatever they can just describe by because they don't have any other choice and that's not freedom. but a universal basic income came give you freedom, lots of freedom, freedom to go back to school, to learn new skills for them 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 2nd of every day, ah, forming up until literally last 2 years of my live lives. been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically,

i just 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 tray crowd or little red tri crowder long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to me. pails lot of ask me what to think about bio matter. well, put simply, i find that i do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance. you know, until i, i wouldn't do in a mural sports and stuff like that at college. sincerely because i was like, well, you know what about blow money out or something, i'm screwed and those just those types of things just knowing that you're on the precipice of flag ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful and i know for a fact just statistically that a lot of people in this we are live in that day to day. you know, all the time,

only 41 percent of us adults have enough 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 debt. my son couldn't afford the life sitting the saving medication. he needed, the worsening on a planet picture is simply staggering. the pandemic is also causing many to go hungry. my bills are going to back up and i'm going to be enjoyable here. probably student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always gonna be there for me. personally, i heard about the idea of a universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go, that's at least a solution because we're gonna 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 fetched 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 kind of look back on those programs and food stamps and all 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 way deserved better. you be, i is actually not a new idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas pain. you know, the guy who 1st convince people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther king junior was for you. we all want to van seems to me is, are guaranteed, and you women come are guaranteed minimum income fall old people enfold families around $969.00. richard nixon even proposed an actual plant

congress let us place the floor under the income of every family with children in america. and without those demeaning souls 5 winning a bronze for human dignity that sold by the lives a wealth of welfare children. the day one state in america actually already has a form of basic income alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distribute it to every man, woman and child, trivial example, for the world or emulate. the alliance comes all the big, streamline proud of it because it's a whole new concept of people loaning the resources. and government having to take their money back from the people in federal government getting the money and partially moved out. and so who is the program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic like 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, i said it the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to incorporate welfare get big tag to pay its fair share and use

tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net. the world has ever st. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back is going to some big sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with them. i'll tell the law firm a small town a lot of times, especially in the south it can end up in this like sort of 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 this like quaint little southern town with you know, some charm to it and the football team was good. the tailed squire was, you know, just little mama businesses a store for us, that type of thing. oh and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the

town was economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's where my mom worked. that's for as long as many of the people work and my neighbor caller to come out there for a long, long time. and then i might kiss my dad he was, he was the healing engineer. and my mom, she actually so ever body and saw that you talk to these work oshkosh, oshkosh that and das kosh that. and if you heard oshkosh, my gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades, the center, the towns economy was large cloud and factory in, in the mid ninety's after. and i have to it made like a stoner at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there in the 20 plus years since and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon. so the salon a, a,

my opinion is like a textbook example of the top mice that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and then also from a sensible, you'd think to people, there would be all for it would. but i don't know that that is true. there it is, saying the crime is there osh kosh vegas factory? yes, my gosh, he did. how long do you know how long it was here? the fact he was here and when he clothes, people had worked there, 40 years go after here i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that may be a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stopped coming in to the restaurant in spend in for bucks on you know, a sub or something like that. if it was 3 for $5.00, people stops bending it,

you know, you've got the cap. i may mon pon daddy are running the video store in the car lot and that by the time i graduated high school, it's literally all gone. it was say, and not all, not only is that all gone, but like i, you know, all the stuff with mama, her getting all strong, i'll be able to jail him. my, my wife changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happen, well, by get affected like literally everything and pray, learn the ripple lyrics and other than that. yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i wasn't just the hits just kept on common with . i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say i wanna, i mean, i don't know handy. yeah. i'm not looking for hand. well, i just want to why bring bring the jobs back? that's what you know to do politicians. what like, i mean, can you 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 a major that i would love to also see how they respond. if he could kick them in once and ride in slide day, right to see what they did with the gra, presumably they basta or you know, finally get like the fan belt fixed on their car or whatever that i've been put 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 theoretically, a big portion of it would get, like pop strike back in to just sure the general economy. because there has been an old things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because i had no money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash might not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shocker. i does this out a paycheck every month, even if you do not have a job. i think it's a continuation towards the road of socialism in america. well, there should be a 2nd chance, 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. the universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without marriage, that encourages lazy, not forced warren buffett to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. with magnolia mothers trust it, providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. the magnolia, my distress, 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 shall in the matter of months i had to g as in 2018 in that know your mother's trust is one of them. it is

taking a population that worked so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying, we see, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. now with there will be all tremendous break for gay is so support my key it's ah, tell me pay bills and hell know to stretch from month to month with where my mom will in of the obvious relationship. i day it was very there of my mom. so when i got to from our relationship, marlexia was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key. it's in jeopardy of or in a relationship. and i mean is not working. or you have to break the cycle somewhere . so therefore i be it more to jackson and i broke the bike. ah, just a $1000.00

a month. no strings attached. i can use a hair of our, our light. there means i don't know how i just won't go crazy. oh, oh, that one night when emma babes were here, we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, see my son was right here. i else heard the door. josh, us. i had to 1st in they came to mama was square my baby, i fear for my life and i knew like at the moment i'm now stay here for ever. i will get back in school, pay off some days and continue to raise my credit score. so then i can get the home that i want for me and i lose. oh, in the least counter russian

state, total narrative. i've stayed as i'm funding those landscape div asking him, i'm not getting his house lamps, i'm up with 55 when. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. when else was about with we will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machines. the state on russia for date and split ortiz sport neck, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with me. i have

everything has changed and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate, the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. them, they're real aim is of course saving their 500 years of their domination and the emitter intermediate aliases on to my in china. now, but of, of, to my china, they have to 1st to take out rush ah, a small boy at the school bus. the bulk law issue for the mobile one, annual g d p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. the laws laws that we've got broadsoft calling you on a mobile little premier with washer

garishly alabama. i got a plumber, coffee seal from corpus really include bowman. your printers will switch, restore normal bellanca, marci furniture laws thought they would have thought of unemployment is off the charts, moldova territorial integrity and sovereignty. we respect a country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. and the new is constantly roth, by political and corruption scandals. oh, but all that didn't stop mo, google obtaining, you tended it still does in 2022. ah, alabama. the address that we work with living communities, where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact and benefits when cash um 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? are there more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards career and not just the job because they held their freedom? ah, more easily in shirt. i'm yo. freedom was getting up a fire. getting all the middle one, just a variety section of the bus. lisa 45 in them off the school actually come back of the house. oldest one. she's getting ready. robles will arrive. no later is 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take your so my mom's house is entering the. busy terrible tuesday when you get back cold and i'm along, sir, gum,

let me see, let me see, can i see the ready myself in also being play as a like 720 some light rushing. oh oh. so i think of the lack of sleep is there a challenge and i want to lease get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i wanna job this is going to make is me. i want to be able to save it, you know, take trib, so do all the things to 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 bribe you deserve

a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually see those dreams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very side about these are not really having too many like loser. just tell you or you that you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to say. let me say 10 hours when i was on, tammy. this money's forgave. you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian. well, he sees a doctor. i see you. a little teary. you can't say food, 1000 pale, i be alike. he can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so is, is a big difference being able to just going to everything i need to go with is gonna be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems

work that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what it said they're supposed to be doing. and it's not true. that's actually a myth. most folks, some quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of these systems, that they're not warped and they're just ineffective. for example, if you're on tana your case worker cafe, okay, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided in getting that job. no child care is provided. why you're looking for that job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned, in most cases that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days. that what that means is there for a 90 days you have no way of ensuring that church household. your kids have food, take a moment, little as their st in. there's also while a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana, but because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids.

oh, oh, oh. okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families, were saying, oh family, someone at o r r o family, someone or you know, have to take the drug test that were required in the take because they are on drugs . now is none of that, if you went out and have conversations, you could actually really get to what the problems are with these policies that are being implemented. i think our current safety net system is now working. and so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite a system everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. everybody deserves to be able to have safe and adequate housing. everyone deserves to be able to so depend on a meal,

a society they cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. a society that leaves people in the cold 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 citizens we have to equip mothers to be able to care for their children. and the more we're able to do that, the more whole society we're raising, the more whole circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say, ah, 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 woes can be very wide ranging hard to quantify, 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 in an efficient and judicious manner, right? as job. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd, the you are deemed worthy of receiving government support. the minute you get a job and your income increases, that support will decrease, sank about the incentives of that i can make it so that 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. be 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 bills. because under u. b i, every one will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic floor on which we all can stay at one to let you know, we're having a town hall discussion and co counselors under penny it fires for event we're having tomorrow at the port house. my name is alma lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u shanghai. asa, it's going to be right across the street at the courthouse, a pan. we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to towns, likes, lawana. i think it was great if people really understood what the basic income is. i think would be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring broader attention to the idea based

income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me a the simplest way, like explain a basic income, is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payment that would go to everyone. i think if we get these details right, basic income can eliminate poverty. can increase economic security for working folks and can give a boost to local economies like the economy of selena. does it sound good to you? does it sound too good to be true? yeah. mm mm.

for to close out with faith. hope you know what i go by. exactly one of them. okay, here's one on your wedding area 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. but would rather my bills be paid entering me on my finger? should i say it? i don't, i wouldn't be rich by any means. i don't want and handed him. i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. that's all i want to be on. last tuesday, my husband went charged for court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest oldest one, asia that judge. look, i just got

a job. i'll start paying, however much shortly to pay. that wasn't good enough. that he is being a 100 a days or until his family can come up with $7700.00 and a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to show him gone. what do you use for christmas? what do you know, is still like the harder are charged for my kids to be normal for further they go back in one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for a very long time care work as being devalued. we've devalued care work as a society and if we think about what really matters to include society to

a society where people liable to flourish, then of course realize that care should be put much more on the center of our conception of a good to say basie kingdom by being unconditional, enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. why won't we tax the wealthy for basic income? is because we hate the wealthy or we we resent them for their success. no, it's because they're the ones we're benefiting from the economy as it is right now, they're the ones who are doing well. mm hm. i will not take all their money. well, let them keep. and after 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 insecurity 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. with only days before america's midterm elections, everything seems to be breaking in the direction of the republicans. this would seem to confirm this will truly be a change election and a solid defeat for joe biden. and the democrats, the country is deeply divided. these elections make things worse.

bullying into a, so going to the studio know cranium. t coyer actually yeah. i did. she ship a doctor. lean that ship border control. you put you on board. so you should shield did etivia. i'm a border aleki system really being yet in the did not sing device such synthesis. you lean? yeah. well, we can do a chance actually skim shop, darker room dish, but i'll let you do a buffalo new crazy that to where you store lot of the my subway. but just dory. yes or no it's i live here, belize get us. but we ship it with them, said yes, they go to, to go. i immediately of georgia tech, you know what of them? i need a, are you playing school this with that is a visual one. they reached over that or a teacher who couldn't. she has not turned the usual go to work. it doesn't feel

good to break global the machine years about how she took on my job is to broadview enough sleep few. if you take a picture of, i'll go double play, you have to go so good. i'm up with a listen, i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god. an emotional written moscow and key of conduct another prisoner swap, exchanging under the 7 captured soldiers each. some of the rough untruth described their experiences inc. active with those 3 months, were living help with the forest, disabled soldiers, no legs to do sit ups. i saw some guys killed in la wolf show their legs. they were swollen from beating under the people gather outside a hall to fill in pockets done to show support.
