plumbing 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 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 ask me 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 are in a mural sports and stuff like that at college, right? sincerely because i was like, wow, you know, when i 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 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. couple is student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans, $65.00 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 a me, lee,

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 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 all want to van cuz it seems to me is a guaranteed annual income or guaranteed minimum income for old

people and bold families of our country. 1969. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress, let us play so for 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 real example for the world or emulate. no one else knows all to be extremely proud of it because it's a whole new concept to people loaning the resources and the government having to take their money back from the people instead of government giving the money and partially moved out. and socialistic program, it's exactly the opposite of what some people term to do with them. to be socialistic. it's capitalistic, you're 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? tax is. 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 is going to some big sold us government bureaucracy . it's going directly to the people social justice get with it. mm. 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 home town 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 clients 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 restore for us, that type of thing and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the tales economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for my mom worked that's were outlawed as many the work and my neighbor caller to come out there for a 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 dos kosh, that. and if you heard oshkosh, my gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades, the center, the town economy was large, cloud and factory in, in the mid ninety's after now 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 place 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 forgot 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 and spend in 4 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 graduated 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, her getting all strong, i'll be able to jail him. my, my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happened, well, in my 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 why no,

i mean i don't all hands yeah. i'm looking for and i was willing to work, bring, bring a job like that's what you need 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. i would love to also see how they respond. if you could check and everyone's had a day, right to see what they did with, 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 it's

a continuation towards the road of socialism and america welfare 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. what force more buffet to work hard workforce this guy to work hard? not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free with a ah no, no. you my distress, if providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women in their family said that no, you my distress. it's doing this in the form of a $1000.00 a for 12 months. i am so excited. it's like my 2nd shell in

a matter of months. i had to give them 2018 in that no you 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 gays to support my kids. oh, tell me pay bills and hell know to straight from month to month with where my mo woof in of the obvious relationship. my day it was very, very my mom so when i got my relationship marliss, you was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key 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 in a motor jason and i broke the bike dis, a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a hero, i will i there means i don't know, i just won't go crazy with that one night when the i'm a baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch and oh, seamless. almost right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes, i had to 1st only came to mama was grant my baby after you for my life and i knew like at the moment i'm now stay here for ever. i will get back in school pay awesome days and continue to raise my credit score. so that i can get the whole that a way for me, am i lose a

blog post actually to keep a twinge with a bush with a camera with a bunch of course. are you holding a picture? where do we still hold? you? go to the broker insurance card company. what is company here to carbon you back with more can i do this can but if they put us garzo, so this is latoya. e. yeah,

i would estimate because i thought if she was no less, no with me, they also look like your local so to most of the list for the on the stuff on here for a late with with everything is changing. 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. and their real aim is,

of course, saving their 500 years of their donation. and the emitter intermediate, a sub domain chain of, of domains, china. they have to a ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, 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? 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 hail their freedom? ah, more easily in shirt. oh mio, pretty much getting up a fire, getting all the middle one juris. there were 80 sections of 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. horrible us. we're right now lame is 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take your so my mom's house is entering the terrible tooth

when you get back cold and come along, sir, come let me see, let me see, can i see the rady myself and also be in play as a like 720 some like risha. oh yeah. oh. so i think the lack of sleep is very challenging. i won't so least 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 too. so in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it just by virtue of your being here, you deserve a life 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 side about these are not really hearing too many like rules or just tell you or you that you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to say let me say and i, when i was on tammy of these ladies forgave you have to put this, this is for j as in terms with asian work. he see that doctor i see you. a little teary. you can't say food 1000 pale. i be a like he can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so is, is a big difference being able to just go and do everything i need to go with is 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 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 system, but they're not why you're just ineffective. for example, if you're on pena, your case worker could say, okay, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no supported provided and getting that job. no childcare is provided when 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 net for 90 days. what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring that your household, your kids have. take a moment less, they're thinking that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana,

because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids. oh, sorry. 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 requiring the take 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 that are being implemented. and i think our current safety assistant 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 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 in 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, joe. 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. think 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 at one to let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cookouts laura understanding out flyers for event. we're having tomorrow at the courthouse, my name is almost a 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 would be 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. another one 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 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 salina. does that sound good to you? that doesn't sound too good to be true. yeah. i

am forced to low down with faith hope in what i go by 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 that back. that 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 it. and handed to me, i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. that's all i want to be in last tuesday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3 but his older. so this one, asia, that 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's been sentenced to 180 days. or until his family could come up to 700. 70 her little where each me $10.00 is a lot of money to do. so with him gone. what do you need from your case for christmas? what he knew? i don't mean to live. i still like the harder i try 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 good to say basie 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 we're doing well. mm hm. i will not take all their money. well, 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. with blue needs to come to the russian
