the european parliament as a keys in brussels, whereas russia has been weapon, ising food and hunger since the beginning of the war. whereas russia's deliberate actions, including destroying stalks disrupting production and imposing quotas on its own exports of foodstuffs and fertilizers, have exacerbated the global food security crisis unless have on. so another aspect of this resolution was just comical when you consider who it's coming from. the european parliament is accused of russian armed forces and proxies of targeting civilians in other locations other conflicts, including during the 2nd chechen war, the 2008 to russia, door to war, and the syrian civil war as well as libya and it goes on and on so when russia defends its own region from terrorism, like in chechnya, it's terrorism where russia response an attack on its peacemakers. like in georgia, that's also terrorism. and when a country asks russia for help in the fight against terrorism and russia provides it like in syria, you guess that that's actually also terrorism. however,
7:31 am
when america, europe provide weapons and funding that ends up in the hands of terrorists, they are freedom fighters. thankfully the world is much bigger than the european union ending united states of america. no matter how hard they try to silence voices that refused to follow their line. russell from me peter scott's book, nicky will be taking over the whole seats in or out half an hour sometimes take you through into the thank you very much for one. ah ah sh is 2 days we love in this country its cache and freedom. but anybody that's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you got no cash, got no freedom,
7:32 am
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, 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 freedom, 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. i
7:33 am
mean up until literally last 2 years. and 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. 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 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, i wouldn't do i enter mural sports and stuff like that at college since, really because i was like, wow, you know, when 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,
7:34 am
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 appointed 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. he'll believe 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've heard about the idea of universal basic income and was pretty immediately of
7:35 am
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 in junior was for you. we are now one of vans is it seems to me is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income for all people and for all families around
7:36 am
countries. 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 filing a bronze for human dignity that sold bite the lives of well for welfare children the day once died 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 emulate. the alliance goes all the big, strangely proud of it, because it's a whole new concept to people owning the resources. and the government having to take their money back from the people instead of government getting the money and partially moved out. and socialistic, grow. greer 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,
7:37 am
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 it's fire, 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 salon as 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,
7:38 am
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 for as long as they are community work and they never collar to come out there for a long, 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, he's work oshkosh, oshkosh, that house. gosh, that. and if you heard it 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.
7:39 am
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 over the top voice that would benefit a lot from a basic income and then 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. 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 that he was here, and when he close, people had worked there, 40 years, go ahead. after here i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that maybe a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stopped coming in to the
7:40 am
restaurant and spin didn't 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, my mom 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 say and not all, not only is that all gone but like i, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strong out going to jail. yeah. my, my wife changed tremendously for the worse just like everybody else is around here . when that happen. going by get affected like literally everything and pray, learn the ripple in excel or dad that see. yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, that's the, 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 hannah. yeah, i'm not looking for hand. well,
7:41 am
i just want to white brain, 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 can see that. right. well, i think that's gonna be a major garage. i would love to also see how they respond. if he could kick an invoice and ride in slide day, right. 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 pump strike back in to just sure the general economy because there has been in 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. and that's a shocker. how does this sound a paycheck every month? even if you do not have a job, i think is
7:42 am
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 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 my the stress if providing a guaranteed in time to low income african american women in their family. so the med, no, 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
7:43 am
months. i had 2 kids and 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 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. there will be all tremendous break for gay is to support my key it. oh, tell me pay bills and hell know if to straight from month to month with where my mom will in of, of his relationship. my day it was the very, very small so when i got my relationship marliss, you was abusive and i was like, i would never ever put my key in jeopardy. oh, in
7:44 am
a relationship that i mean is not working for you have to break the cycle somewhere unfold if will i be? i'm older jason and i broke with like dis a $1000.00 a month. no strings attached. if you use a hero, i will like them means i don't know. i just won't go crazy. oh, that one night when mamma baby. so a here we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, seemed less was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes, i had to 1st only came to mamma with square 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 to school pay off some days and continue to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that out long for me and my load with
7:45 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is on, often has very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. time time to sit down and talk lou needs to come to the russian state. little narrative, as time goes on in the most landscape, div us mm hm. then i can also send up for a group in 55 when okay, so 9 is gonna be the one on homes with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine,
7:46 am
the state on russia today and spoke ortiz spoke mckibbin, our video agency roughly all bands on youtube and tennessee, we put, put, what did you think it was 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. i'm isn't teased into these situations where individuals are highly subsidized, but then also we're trying to get a better understanding of how all 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?
7:47 am
are they able to now look towards career, said matt, just the job because they held their freedom. ah, good morning, sleepy in shirt. oh britain was getting up a fire, getting all the middle one, the jurors there were 80, take him to the bus, ga police by 545. didn't him off the school were actually come back of the house. oh, this one she's getting ready. her bills were wired, no later is 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take your so my mom's house is entering. busy terrible to say, well what you get back cold and i'm along, sir, come let me see, let me see, can i see the ready myself in also being clay as a like 720 some light rushing.
7:48 am
oh did you? oh, so i think the lack of sleep is merely challenging i won't so least 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 phase 2. 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 drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actual are so strings 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
7:49 am
rules are just tell you or you, you have to spend it on or how, how much she have this me. let me say 10 hours when i was on time. if these letters for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in transportation. well, he see the doctor. i see you early, your little tears. you can say food stamps in pale. i be a like, 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's supposed to be doing. and that's not true. that's actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various
7:50 am
systems are in the complication of these systems that they're not wired near just ineffective. for example, if you're on pana, your case worker could say, okay, 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 thanks. and 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 you are is helpful. take a moment, little less the 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, sorry. oh, okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming
7:51 am
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 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. 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 coal without options cannot call itself civilized. we're trying to elevate and
7:52 am
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,
7:53 am
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 that 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 could 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
7:54 am
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, i'm just handing out flyers for an 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. ah. so 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 i think it would be great if people really understood what a 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 brought our attention to the idea of basic income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. another one
7:55 am
with the simplest away and 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, the sound good to you? the sound too good to be true. yeah. i am forced to load them with faith hope in our sort of go
7:56 am
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 we paid entering me on my fingers as i say, i don't, i don't want to 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 mail you. in last tuesday, my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest oldest one, asia that judge. look, i just got a job at. i'll start paying, however much shortly to pay a month. that wasn't good enough. that he is being said, it's to $180.00 days or until february can come up to $770.00 her was
7:57 am
lonny to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to do so with him gone. what are you using a kid for christmas? what he knew had no means of income. no, it's still like no harder are charged 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 a good to say basic kingdom by being unconditional,
7:58 am
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 will let them keep an 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
7:59 am
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 ah . oh, when i was shown seemed wrong when old ruth just don't hold any new world yet to shape out. disdain becomes the advocate and engagement
8:00 am
equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah headlines on all t international, russia defense ministry phase, the railway transfer of foreign weapons. the key of forces was disrupted during wednesday's high precision strikes the new frames. and just like western accusations, moscow stays not a single russian broke. it struck the city of the democratic republic of congo. lawanda agreed to immediately these hostilities and withdraw the armed grip and 23 from the congolese east, where they held a number, a reporter. they can at least 30 civilians in ethiopia, talking face of another on.
