2:30 am
ash got no freedom. shackle jackal. do a job that explored you shackle to get interest right. this app she draw shackled to medical bills for ailments, so old they could have their own student loans, their default, they know it's an oppressive in this heartening 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 free to lots of free freedom to go back to school to learn new skills, freedom to take care of and aging parents. the freedom to start a small business and freedom to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry about money every single 2nd of every day. ah, in the warming up until literally last 2 years. and my live lives been like one emergency
2:31 am
situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just live in paycheck to paycheck. not having any extra money for any thing at all, and you know, things happen. my name is tre crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read tray crowd, or little red tri crowder long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to me. pales lot people have asked me what to think about bio matter. well, put simply i find that they 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 intramural sports and stuff like that. at college, sincerely, because i was like, well, 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 of flag ruin all the time. yeah. it's a stream li, stressful,
2:32 am
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 don't have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge and having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. my son couldn't afford the life 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, but i'm going to be in job here. a couple a student loan debt in the united states has double 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always going to be there for me. personally, i heard about the idea of universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go. that's at least
2:33 am
a solution because we're going to 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 want to van seems to me is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income all graham paul families
2:34 am
around $969.00. 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 5 winning a bronze for human dignity that sold by the lives of well for welfare children. the day once died in america actually already has a form of basic incom, alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distribute it to every man, woman and child. for bill example for the world emulate. the alliance comes all the big, streamline 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 program is exactly the opposite of what some people term, the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic like screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income in the rest of the country? taxes?
2:35 am
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. i'll tell the law firm a small town, especially in the south. it can end up in this like sort of a small town contest thing where it's like now my hometown smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an argument that i typically win because it's really, really small. i remember saladas the psych clients little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the ball,
2:36 am
tame was good tailed squire was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses a store for us that type of thing now and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the towns economy was this big clothing factory where most people worked and that's for my mom worked that's for a lot and everything 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 das gosh that. and if you heard oshkosh, my gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades, the center, the towns economy was large cloud and factory in, in the mid ninety's after. and i have to it made like a stoner at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there in the 20 plus years since and
2:37 am
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 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 saying the crime is there osh kosh, my gosh, factory, yes, my gosh, he did. how long do you know how long it was here? the fact he was here and when he close, 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, spending 4 bucks on, you know,
2:38 am
a sub or something like that. if it was 3 for $5.00, people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe may mon, pod data or run in 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 a, you know, all the stuff with mama, her getting all strung out and going to jail. yeah. my, my wife changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happened in my get affected, like literally everything and pray on the ripple in excel or dan, patsy. yeah. i know. you know, that was, i mean, yeah, all isn'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, i wanna, i mean, i don't know hannah. yeah, i'm looking for and i, well i just want to work bring,
2:39 am
bring a job like that's what you need to do politicians, but 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 garage. i would love to also see how they respond. if he could have kicked an invoice and ride his last 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 don't, i mean, like theoretically a big portion of it would get, like pop, strike back into 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. i know that's a shocker. how does this sound 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,
2:40 am
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 what 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? what for this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free in you. my distress is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women in their family. so the med, no you, my distress is doing this in the form of a $1000.00 a month for 12 months. i am so excited if like my 2nd shell in a matter of months,
2:41 am
i had to get the 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. you mm hm. there will be all, tremendous, great for gay is to support my kids. oh, tell me pay bills and hell know if to straight from month to month with where my mom will in abuse relationship. oh my day it was very, very for my mom so when i got of my relationship marliss, you was abusive and i was like, i will never ever put my key in jeopardy of or in
2:42 am
a relationship that i mean is not working for you have to break the cycle somewhere and so therefore i need more to jason and i broke with like dis a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a hero, i will like there mays. 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. almost right here. i else heard the door. josh. yes, but the 1st thing they came to my mom was 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, pay off some days and continue to raise my credit score. so then i can get the home that i want for me and my lose. i
2:43 am
am in lisa canter, russian state little narrative. i've stayed on the northland scheme div asking him the american house southland for a coup in 55 when. okay, so mine is to farmers needing help with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia today, and school ortiz spoke mckibbin, our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with, with
2:44 am
2:45 am
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 held their freedom? ah, more recently in church. oh, pretty much getting up a fire. getting all the middle one juris, there were 80 jacobs of the bus stop police by 545. didn't him off the school were actually come back of the house. oh this one she's getting ready. roblis. we're right. in the layman's 655, actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the terrible tooth
2:46 am
when you get back cold and come along, sir. come, let me see, let me see, can i see the rady myself and also being clay is a like saving 20 some like rushing. oh did you? oh, so i think the lack of sleep is marian challenge and 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 true, observe, do all the things to so in a reason that i am a fan of the parenting income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it . just by virtue of your being here. you deserve
2:47 am
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 strings 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 that you have to spend it on or how, how much you have to say let me say, and i, when i was on time, if these money's forgave, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian work. he see that doctor i see you early little tears. you can say food, 1000 pale, i be alike. he can't take food stamps and get your medicine. so 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
2:48 am
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 systems that they're not why you're just ineffective. for example, if you're on pena, in your case worker cafe. 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 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 sure household, your kids have to take a moment less the thinking. and that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana,
2:49 am
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 required in the tape because they're on drugs. now is none of that, if you went out and had conversations, you could actually really get to what the problems are with these policies 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,
2:50 am
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 itself civilized. we're trying to elevate and push towards a dignity economy and economy, which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show that that actually operates in the best interest of all citizens. we have to equip mothers to be able to care for their children. and the more we're able to do that, the more whole society we're raising, the more whole circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say, ah, in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's
2:51 am
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 that you are deemed worthy of receiving government support. the minute you get a job and your income increases, that support will decrease, sank about the incentives of that i can make it so that 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,
2:52 am
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 bales. 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 apps. laura montane at flyers for event were 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 in 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
2:53 am
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 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 it sound good to you? does it sound too good to be true? yeah. mm mm.
2:54 am
for with faith hope in what i got by that one of them. okay. here's one on your wedding re to put money on your electric. and then, you know, you're wondering how you're going to get that back and i have no clue. i'm going to give that back. but would rather my bills be paid entering me on my finger as i say it, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't, one of them handed him. i just want to be able to pay money for my kids. that's all i want. amelia, i last tuesday by has been charged for court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest oldest one, asia that judge. look,
2:55 am
i just got a job. i'll start paying. however, which made a payment. that wasn't good enough. that he is in the 180 days or until his family can come up. $7700.00 is a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to so with him gone, what do you communicate for christmas? what he knew? no need to is still like no harder are char from accused me, nor will the further they go back in one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that on for a very long time care work as been devalued. we've devalued care work as a society and if we think about what really matters to include society to
2:56 am
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 on basic income 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. move them. i will not take all their money. well, let them keep, and after that, they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward
2:57 am
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, there are 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. blue in need to come to russian state to never be. i've started on the northland scheme. divest mckindoe's house once a week within the 55 when okay, so 9 is 2000 speedy. one else with we
2:58 am
will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on to russia for date, and c, r t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with are we witnessing the end of globalization as we have known it for about the half century, it would certainly seem so the wes ability to shape the world and its own image also appears to be on the way. as a result, should we expect new regional and block globalization?
2:59 am
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. well, i make a week old. even atomic bombs are hearing on the same nazzo and the u. f with you and the ones that people will die just for make money. the one that had been yes, care there while you months, you got through on every if you're gone through my she thought complete. i mean there's water damage with on to get i won't put them in those will. the more sir me my show it was wrong. tool or able offer. zach leila lesser opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians are against military support for ukraine. landed in confront with the day rap last or if i don't a lateral yet,
