[000:00:00;00] ah, mm mm is 2 days we love in this country, its cache and freedom. but anybody, it's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you've got no cash, got no freedom, shackle jackal. do a job that explored you shackle to get interest right. this app she draw shackled to medical bills for ailments, so old they could have their own student loans, their default. they know it's an oppressive 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 can give you for lots of free 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, in the warming up until literally last 2 years of my life. i've 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've 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. pales lot people have asked 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. and so i wouldn't do intermural sports and stuff like that at call. i sincerely because i was like, wow, you know what 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 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 country 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. hopefully, student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans, $65.00 and older are in default, and it'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 ag rubble and don't get me 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 u b, 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 are one of vans is it seems to me is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income for old people and for all families of our country. 1969. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress, let us place of war under the income of every family, with children in america. and without those demeaning souls, 5000000 prompts for human dignity that sold by the lives of well for 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 for bill example for the world or emulate. the alliance goes over big, strangely proud of it because it's a whole new concept to people owning the resources and government having to take their money back from the people instead of 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 to live stream. 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 tech 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 isn't going to some big sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people

social justice. get with it. mm hm. i'll tell the law firm a small town, 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 psych client's little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good tailed squire was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses a store for us, that type of thing. now 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 where as long as their community work, am i never collar to come out there for a long,

long time. and then am i tiffs 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 house. gosh, 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 is selina, 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 sensible you take the people that would be

all for it would. but i don't know that that is true. there it is. say of the crime he's there osh. gosh, for gosh, 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 stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe may mon pod 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 strung out go to jail. yeah. i my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here. when that happened. in my get affected, like literally everything and pray, learn the ripple in excel or dad that see. yeah, i know, you know, that was a me b, how is that 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 all hands. yeah. i'm looking for a hand and a white bring bring a job like 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 gonna be elijah laura. i would love to also see how they respond. if he could have kicked him once and ride his last day, right. see what they did with gra, presumably they basta or you know,

finally get like the fan belt fixed on her 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 the money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash might not sit well with everybody. and that's a shocker. how does this out a paycheck every month? even if you do not have a job, i think is a continuation towards the road of socialism and america welfare should be a 2nd chance not away alive. we're going to take from you over here to give to you over here, because that's where we're going to do the universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without merit, that in 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 no, you mother stressed it, providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women in their family. the medical you, 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 shell. in the matter of months. i had 2 kids and 2018 in magnolia. 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 enough to stretch from month to month with my mom woof in of the obvious relationship all my day. it was very, very small. so when i got to the mileage, is your mileage, you was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my feet in jeopardy of or in a relationship. and i mean is not working for you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so therefore i be a motor, jason and i broke the bike. there's a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a hero, i would like their means. i don't know. i just won't go crazy

with that one night when emma babies were here. we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, see my son was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes. i had to 1st only came to mamma, who square my baby. i fear for my life and i knew like at the moment, i'm now stay here forever. i will get back in school pay off some days and continue to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and my low to oh wow. oh oh

oh oh i ah with i'm going to trust when i met a quite natural mumbo blog post. that to mature, keep a twinge, quit up which on the bus and then eventually in school. but i want to push what do you like to place that up the slab radius love which blew out all the different benefits you want to present 1st. and i love that. i think emma will push that the village we had what i was more kind of noted on bunch from group or your through whoever, cuz you were through vision. mr. hodges group as

a broker and sharon and scars group carpeted what is covered here, i've got the new book with move this. kimberly put us. 5 goes oh, so this is latoya e. yeah, i would have for me to cross casa. i thought a few of the last november isn't mid fema. what does provide alicia with release? good. or do you feel like your locals? so to most of these events happening, they do and i'm with the late, what is her 3rd to lead the estimate the moment and then the finance with ask them when you visualize w to be applied. alabama . bedrooms 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 at a more engaged in their local community? are there more engaged in our kids school? are they more engage in their own self care? are they able to now look towards career and not just the job say hail their freedom, ah, mournfully in shirt. oh, pretty much getting of a fire. getting all the middle one, the jury's to ready take him to the bus. stop police by 545. getting them off the school were actually come back to the house. oh, this one she's getting ready to swear. no lame 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 tooth when you get back cold and come along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see the rady myself in also being clay as a like 720 some like rushing. oh, did you? oh, so i think the lack of sleep is mirrored challenge and i want to lease get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i want a 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 where you and your family can bribe, you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actual are. so streams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very cited about these are not really having too many like loser. just tell you or you, you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to say, let me say, and i said i was on tam. if this money's for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian. well, he see that doctor, i see you early little tears. you can say food 1000 pale, i be alike. he can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so it is a big difference. being able to just go and do 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 is that they're supposed to be doing. and it's not true. that's actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of these systems that they're not working. 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 and getting their job. no child care is provide it while you're looking for their job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned. in most cases that means that you will lose your a snap for 90 days that what that means is there for a 90 days you have no way of ensuring that shirt household, your kids have food. take a moment, little as the 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 speed their kid. 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 o family, someone or you know, have to take the drug test that were required in the tape 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. and i think our current staffing assistant is now working in 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 that 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 a so civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy and 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 and an efficient and judicious manner. right? yes, jo, now its impact 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. thank about the incentives of that. i 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. 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. it won't let you know. we're having a town hall discussion and cookouts laura, i'm just handing out flyers for event. we're having tomorrow at the port house. my name is almost a lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice in political science. and while you 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 wanna thank you. it is great if people really understood what the basic income

is. i think would be great if this is something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring broader attention to the idea of basic income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me, a run around the simplest away 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, basic income can eliminate poverty, can increase economic security for working folks and can give a boost to local economies like the economy of selina. does that sound good to you?

the sound too good to be true. yeah. m a faith hope in sort of go by them. okay, here's one on your wedding re, 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 that back, but would rather my bills be paid entering me on my finger as i say, i don't, i wouldn't be rich by any means. i don't want her then handed to me. i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. that's all i want to mail you in

last tuesday for has with child support court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest. oh, this one, asia, let judge look, i just got a job and i'll start paying, however much shortly to pay a month. that wasn't good enough. that he is the incentive to $180.00 days or until his family could come up with $770.00 laundry to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to do so with him gone. what are you using? okay, for christmas. what he knew no means of income, no is still like no harder our dryer for my kids to be normal. preferred or 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 good to say be the kingdom by being unconditional, enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. why will we touch 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 will let him 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 games 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. ah, with only days before america's mid term 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?

i'm willing it a way to do it. yeah, no cranium, t coyer shooting idea. she ship dr. lee, that ship border control. you put you on board solution. she'll go did etivia. i'm awarded by like you system really being yet in the did not sing device such a anthony lucy leah with tim jeff. darker room dish. but i'll let you do a buffer leona. crazy that to where you store lot of date my subway. but just dory . yes or no. i live here the least get us. but i, we ship it with them, said yes, a gift or should look like, you know, what of them. i need a, are you playing school with one, they each the one that or,

and you can actually be too many. sure not to go to work. it doesn't feel good to break global. i'm saying years about how she took on. busy these to broadview enough leave for a few quick to take a picture of, i'll go double play, you have to go so good. i'm up with a large extent. the level of prosperity achieved in colonial countries is based on stealing from africa. research just in europe. do not hide that. a lot of everything goes out western countries for exploiting that former holidays and his latest take on global development. as russia celebrated fan, you will unity day with the international energy agency reviewer. a huge challenge is in refilling askance bolts due to the new sanctions against russian fuel import. plus i think we will never be
