ah, there's 2 things we love in this country. it's cash and freedom. but he, by it's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you ain't got no cash, you ain't got no freedom. shackle jackal to a job that explored you shackled too. she had interest right to sab, she dry shackled to medical bills for ailment, so old they could have their own student loans, their default the young. it's an oppressive and disheartening state of of fires that lays people doing whatever like hand just described back 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, freedom to take care of an aging parents. the freedom to start a small business to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry about money every single 2nd of every day

with in wyoming, up until literally last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation away from, from plate 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 tre crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos. i made featuring a character called the liberal read, dry crowder, little red, tri, crowder long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something. it's deeply personal to me. pale sloppy will ask me what to think about black lives matter. well, put simply, i think that they do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance, you know, until i wouldn't do like in

a mural sports and stuff like that to college. but i sincerely, because i was like, wow, you know what i 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 usaa does 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 stag around 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've 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. and 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 and depend might be a good idea. he's not the only one the martin luther king junior was for you. one of them seems to me, is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income, all people, all 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 souls cycling of france for human dignity that so bite the lives well for welfare children to 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. and the last make strangely proud of it because it's a whole new concept that people loaning 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 in the screen. ok, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income in the rest of the country? taxes? yeah, i said it the dreaded d word, but yes, actually it's time to incorporate welfare get big tech to pay a fire 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 me whatever, from a small town, a lot of times, especially in the south, it can end up in this like sort of a small town context thing where it's like no my home town, smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an went to that typically when because

it's really, really small. i remember salinas this psych 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 mama, businesses a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the towns economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for my mom worked that's for as long as their community work and my neighbor caller to come out there for a long time. and then my tips. my dad, he was, he was the head 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 of the towns 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 selina, in my opinion is like a textbook example of the top voice that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and that also from a sensible you'd think to people that would be all for it would. but i don't know that that is true. there it is saying the crime you say osh gosh, 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 ahead i 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 3 for $5.00, people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe may mon pon daddy are running the video store in the car. lot in that, by the time i graduate high school, that's literally all gone. it was say, and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all the stuff with mama, her getting all strung out yonah jail. yeah. my, my wife changed tremendously for the worse just like everybody else is around here . when that happened. oh, i like it affected like literally everything and pray like the ripple and linux other than that. yeah. i know. you know, that was, i mean yeah,

i wasn't just the hits just kept on come and ah, i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well, no, i mean i don't know hannah. yeah, i'm looking for a white brain bringing 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 gonna be a major that i would love to also see how they respond if he could kick them in once had he 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 putting on 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 pump strike back into just sure the general

economy because there has been all 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 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 well without marriage, that encourages lazy. what forced warren buffett to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not, and leave them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. with

you, my distress is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. the medical you, my distress is doing this in a form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited if like my 2nd shell in the matter of months, i had to get the 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 story. it's we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family now. you mm hm. there will be all tremendous break for gay is to support my kids. oh, tell me pay bills and hell know of to straight from month to month with where my mom was in of abuse relationship. my day it was

very very for my mom. so when i got to my relationship, marlexia was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key in jeopardy of or in a relationship that i mean is now working for you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so therefore i be and i'm older jason and i will provide dis a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached or he is a hero. i will like there mays. i don't know. i just won't go crazy with that one night when mamma babies were 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 didn't account to my mom who squared my baby as here for my life. and

i knew like at the moment, i'm now stay here forever. i will get back in school pay else some days and continue to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and i lose. oh wow. i am a ah, with

yes, some of those just read with wow, we have which are ours. we make you know, of knowledge and to really care about me. if you care about the play. i wish somebody could just tell me why her hair or hatred, lynching, beating poverty, why supremacy is just the disgusting ambulance. the people in mississippi voted on a wire, and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the car and why. our purpose is to, to fan the good name and a good better child. because of these monuments that you see everywhere are not, can they not monuments to the confederate government, their monuments, to the soldiers, to the veterans. you know,

if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. oh mm. 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 himself 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 a job because they held their freedom

blue. good morning with shirt cameo. freedom was getting of a fire. getting all the middle one, the jurors, there were 80 sanctions of the blessed abilene by 545. the name of the school were actually come bakes of the house. oldest one she's getting ready. roblis 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 there called and come along, sir. come let me see, let me see, can i fi d rady myself in also being clay as a like 720 some light rushing. oh yeah. oh. so i think the lack of sleep is rare. 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 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. tim bribe, you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually use those dreams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot. i'm very side about these. i'm not really hearing too many like rules or just tell you or you that you have to spend it on, or how,

how much she 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 of asian. well, he see that doctor. i see you early, your little tears. you can 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 going to everything i need to bear 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, some quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of these systems, but they're not working. they're just ineffective. for example,

if you're on 10 of 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 provide it while 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 work, 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, 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 test that were required in the take because they're 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 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. 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 that cannot take care of its elders. a society that leaves people in the co without options cannot call a 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 old 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 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. 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 at

one point, you know, we're having a town hall discussion and cook. epsilon is hanging out fires for event we're having tomorrow at the courthouse. 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 this. thank you. great. if people really understood what the basic income is, i think it be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring the broader attention to the idea based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. grandmother 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 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 that sound good to you? does it sound too good to be true? yeah. mm mm. for to close out with faith. hope in our sorta go by. exactly what other than, okay, here's one on your wedding. sorry. 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 get that back. but i would rather my bills be paid entering me on my finger as 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, but has room and charge for court over his oldest daughter not are 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 reinstated a $180.00 days or until his family could come up with $7700.00 and a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to share with him. god,

what do you use for christmas? what he knew no need to live are still like no hard or 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, we're actually 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 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, move them, i will not take all their money will 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 in 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 o in 2022, the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine coordination with nature to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. wo i make a weep, almost even atomic bombs are here. even on the same naco and the u. f with the one that people will die just for make money. the one that

i've been, yes, because it a while you mess you got through on it. if you're gone through or not, you are complete. i mean, there's more dollars a month for them as well. dar morsa me my show. it was wrong tool or able offer exec leila lesser opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians are against military support for ukraine. i landed in confront with the day after the flap don't a little yet lee got it more on a skid out and was home and do not. she then did the daily data. wonderful. i was just a little low today because he has been a fool. he said, we're not only in fun theater, the laptop with its infrastructure being degraded, and the weather turning into winter. ukraine faces the stark prospect of becoming

a failed state. no amount of western arms can change that harsh reality. why should it in kev have demonstrated they have no real interest in negotiations? ukraine's fate has been sealed with teenage boys killed down at least 18 more wounded in a pair of bus stop explosions in jerusalem local police from that. a terrorist also ahead ali baba from cultured n g o is from operating in the west african nation. it's yet another wage in relations between the 2 countries. following many years of a controversial french military presence in the region. i'm a come from martinos class, so it's just that the hell region faces are rising islamist insurgency threads with more and more volunteers coming forward.
