ah, flemming, up until literally last 2 years of my life might have 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 trey crowder. i've got attention on the internet for these videos. i made featuring a character called the liberal read tri crowder little red, tri crowder long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to me. pails, law, people, that's been what i like about black lives matter. well, put simply, i think 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 i intermural sports and stuff like that. at college, i sincerely because i was like, wow, 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. 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 setting 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 is always gonna be there for me. person i

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 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 we 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 paine. 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 the answers of seems to me is a guaranteed annual income,

a guaranteed minimum income, all people and families of our country. $969.00, richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress. let us place a floor under the income of every family with children in america. and without those demeaning sol cycling or brands for human dignity that so bite the lives well for welfare children. the day one state in america actually already has a form of basic in alaska. each year they take a portion of the states, oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child, should be an example for the world emulate. and their last, me, strangely proud of that because it's a whole new concept of people loaning resources and government having to take their money back from the people instead of government getting the money. and partial in and out, and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people term,

the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic to like screen. okay, so they've got oil in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income in 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 seen. 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 or tell we want from a small town a lot, 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 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 was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for mom, mom work, that's where a lot as many people work and my neighbor caller 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 a little these work at oshkosh, oshkosh that das gosh, that. and if you heard osh kosh, my gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades, the center, the town 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 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 selina, in my opinion is like a textbook example at the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income and then also from a sensible you'd like to people that would be all for it would. but i don't know that that is true. there it is, say of the crime. is there osh kosh, my gosh, factory? yes, my gosh, you 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 $345.00, 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 graduate high school, it's literally all gone. it was sad and not all, not only is that all gone but like i, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strong out go to jail. yeah. i my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here. when that happened. going like it affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple linux and other than that. yeah. i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah. all isn't just the hits just kept on common with.

ah, i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, why not? i mean, i don't know hand. yeah. i'm looking for a hand and a white bring bring a job like that's what you know. you know, politicians, what like, i mean, can you easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way? oh yeah, i see that right. well, i think that's gonna be a major that i would love to also see how they respond. if he could kick them in once a day, right? to see what they did with 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 into 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. 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 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 where we're going to do the universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without marriage, that in encourages leasing workforce, more buff it to work hard workforce this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. in magnolia, my distress is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women in their family. the

memory. my distress is 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 a 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 there will be all tremendous break for gay is to support my key it's ah, hell me pay bills and hell know for stretch from month to month with where my mom was in of the obvious relationship. my day it was very, very my mom so when i got my relationship,

marlexia was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key in jeopardy. oh. or in a relationship that i mean is my work for you have to break the cycle somewhere. and so therefore, i mean, i'm older jackson and i broke the like there's a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a hero, i will like there means i don't know, i just won't go crazy with that one night when mamma baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, seamless was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes, i had to 1st day and they came to mamma, who square my baby. i fear for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm now stay here for ever. i will get back in school play awesome days and continue to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that

are way for me. my lose willing. i saw blue tv toys. no cranium, tv, toys, shooting id. she ship dr. lena chipboard, control. you're pretty well boxed so she's she'll go diddy. tgm awarded by latest i will only be near them. did not sing device such a anthony lucy, leah with a chance actually it's kim jeff dr. room. there's a crazy central there used to modern day my subway, but just dory. yes or no it's i live she elise, get us. but we ship them that he has a daughter to look like. you know what of them?

i need a new school was with that for a one. they each the or a teacher who couldn't not to another school go to work. it doesn't feel good global. i'm saying years about how she took on my job is to broadview enough room for a few quick to take a picture of. i'll go double play, you have to go so good. i'm up with the ball can come to explain simmering for some time or so is not she was a sub scope for whirlpool crane. i quit, but i don't know who bid on was running up. l. damian's demanded the cause of a subs changed car license plates. in other words, they recognized counselor either for the road for the hell involved worth of fell grade refused. kosovo is serbia. so discriminating against serves is a slap in the face, a sort of

a query all the apart from the 3rd year for was fuel bill that can go there for that affidavit. they've gotten it really, doesn't it all by the seminar more? i surely will be go to know me. oh, the president alexander brooches hasn't rule down the possibility that the west is waiting for the right moment to strike the republic. then with the georgia public court order from approved with all of the individuals 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 had a 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 recently in shirt omeo, pretty much getting up a fire, getting all the middle one the jurors there were 80 sanctions of the bus stop police by 545. didn't him off the school were actually come back to the house. oh, this one she's getting ready. roblis will arrive in the layman's 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 i'm along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see d rady myself in also be in clay is a like 720 some light rushing. oh yeah. oh. so i think the lack of sleep is marian 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 just gonna make is me. i want to be able to save it. you know, take trib, so do all the things too. so in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed in calm 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 drive 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 hearing too many like rules or just tell you or you, you have to spend it on or how, how will she have this me let me say, and i said i was on time if these monies for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian work. he see that doctor i see you early. you're not here. you can't say food stamps and pay you like be a like he can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so it is a big difference. being able to just going to everything i need to go. ris is gonna be exciting. having most of america believes that our systems

work or that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. that's actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of the systems that they're not why you're just ineffective. for example, if you're on panel your case worker could say ok, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no supported provided and getting that job. no child care is provided when you're looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned, in most cases that means that you will lose your net for 90 days. what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring that church household, your kids have, take a moment less their thinking. and 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. 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 tests or were required in the tape because they are 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 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. every body 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 the self 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 condition 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, joe, 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 react and be an economic floor on which we all can stand once let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cookouts laura, i'm just handing out flyers for an 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 gonna 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. 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 based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me, a one room with 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 selena. that sound good to you? the sound too good to be true. yeah.

m for a faith hope in sort of go by them. okay, here's one ma'am. 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 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. a 1000000 in last tuesday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter not are 3

but his older. so this one, asia, let judge look, i just got a job that i'll start paying, however much shortly to pay a month. so that wasn't good enough. that here's the incentive to $180.00 days or until the family could come up with $770.00 law. reach me $10.00 is a lot of money to do so with him gone. what do you need from you again for christmas? what he knew, i don't mean to live it's still like no harder our dryer for my kids to be normal. the 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 good to say basic kingdom by being unconditional enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. why will 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 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 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. ah, with ah,

that everything is changing and one of the elements of this picture is that they're desperate. the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. and their real aim is, of course, saving their 500 years of their donation and the emitter intermediate, a based on demand china. now a bunch of domains, china, they have to 1st to take out a new choice, medical mumbo blog, post a 20 which on the bus. and then with

a bunch of them for you to your for holding the, cuz you were to mr. what is going to the insurance guard we've got to go for this company. i've got the new book with more than i did this. kimberly they put us garzo. so this is latoya e. yeah, i would estimate because i thought if she was the last no, with what with release a certain with

with denise keeping you to a large extent, the level of prosperity achieved in colonial countries is based on stealing from africa. research in europe. do not hide this wild america and slams western countries for exporting their former colonies and his latest remarks about the emerging world as russia celebrate this annual unity day. british military intelligence had plans to set up a group of the premium partisans in crimea to attack question target. according to the documents obtained by investigative news outlet grades out, we heard from.
