and 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 fleming 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 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. pails,

law people ask me what i like about black lab, miter whale, 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 in a mural 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 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 medicaid, and 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 enjoyable here. probably student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. there's always gonna be there for me. personally, i've heard about the idea of a universal basic income. it 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 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. you be,

i is actually not a new idea. it 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 king junior was for you. we all want to van seems to me is a guaranteed annual income or guaranteed minimum income fall old people enfold families around $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, the meaning souls fighting fronts for human dignity that sold by the lives a well for 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

should be an example for the world emulate them. the alliance console to be friendly proud of it because it's a whole new concept to people owning the 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 to 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 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

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 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 business is a store 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 where my mom worked, that's for a lot as many the people were and my neighbor caller to come out there for a long time in n m, i tiffs my dad, he was, he was the head engineer. my mom,

she actually so ever body and saw that you talk to him, he's worked oshkosh oshkosh, that das kosh 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 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 mice 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, say of the crime. is there osh kosh baggage 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 home 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 pon daddy are running the video store in the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school, it's literally all gone. he was sad and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all the stuff with mama, her getting all strung out go to jail in my, my life changed tremendously for the worse just everybody else is around here. when

that happens. well, like it affected like literally everything and pray, learn the ripple in excel or band that see. yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah. was it just 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 handy. yeah. i'm not looking for and what is hannah? why bring bring the job back? 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 that i would love to also see how they respond if he could have checked and everyone's had his last day to see what they did with the bright. presumably they bashed 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 in to just cure 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. i don't miss out a paycheck every month, even if you do not have a job, i think is a continuation towards the road of socialism. and america welfare should be a 2nd chance and 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 leasing what force warren buffett to work hard. what force this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free.

ah ah, magnolia mother stressed it, providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. the medical 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 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 gay is so support. my kids are,

tell me pay bills and hell know to straight from month to month with where my mom will in of the obvious relationship. ah, my day it was very, very my mom so when i got my relationship marliss you was abusive and i was like, i will 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 it more to jason and i broke the like does 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 they're my baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, seamless was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes,

i to 1st didn't. they came to my mom was square my baby after you for my life and i knew. but at the moment i'm now stay here forever. i will get back to school, pay off some days and continue to raise my credit score southern and get to home that long for me and my little i hm. in the lease of canter russian state total narrative. i've stayed as i phone and ignore some scheme div, asking him then all sudden signed up for a group in the 55 when. okay, so mine is 2 bottles. anyone else with we will van in the european union the kremlin, jeff machine,

the state on russia for date and c r t spoke that given our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube with . oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in this hello ah 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 hailed their freedom? ah, more easily in shirt cameo, pretty much getting up a fire. getting all the middle one jurors there were 80 jacobs of the bus stop police by 545. didn't him off the school were actually come back of the house. oldest one she's getting ready. roblis would arrive. no 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 turbo tuesday 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 light rushing. oh, did you? oh, so i think the lack of sleep is mary challenge in 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 things to 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 actually. 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, 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 movies 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, your little tears. 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. ris is going to be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work and 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 these systems that they're not wired or just ineffective. for example, if you're on pana, 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 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 list as 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 the families were saying, oh family, someone at o. r o family. so when i, you know, have to take the drug test that 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 that are being with. i think our current safety net isn't is now working in. so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to re write a system everybody deserves to be able to take care of their child. everybody 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 is so 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 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 then efficient and judicious manner. right? yes, jo, now its impact 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. 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 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

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 it want to let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cook apps. 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 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 was great if people really understood with 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 a broader attention to the idea based 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 selena. that sound good to you. that doesn't sound too good to be true. yeah. m fortune low down with faith. hope in what i go

by them. okay, here's one mm. 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 as and handed to me. i just want to be able to pay my bill 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 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. so that wasn't good enough. that he's been sentenced out of

a days or until his family could come up with $770.00 laundry to me. $10.00 is a lot of money to do so with him gone. what are you using? okay, for christmas. what he knew? i don't mean to live is 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 the same 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,

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

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. ah, a ms. munoz coverage and i can if you speak russian, keep your voice down while out and about a couple of don't put your human symbols on display a social stays each night. all right, so you guys don't talk to strangers. i. 7 avoid noisy

gatherings with a mushroom eaten your colleagues, and perhaps also your friends. since you're guilty because you'll, russian. a glad to wait a minute for a specific struggle with are we witnessing the end of globalization as we have known it for about the last half century? it would certainly seem from the west, the 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 in

2020 to the italian government approved a package of military, a, to ukraine coordination with nita to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a weep almost. even i told me bombs are. oh, the same nato and the us with the one that people will die just for make money. the one that has been yes because otherwise you're going to go through on it. if you're going through, i'm not sure what i mean. there's more dollars. i'm not sure thought if you could do me any wi fi you get, i will put them in. those will talk more saw me by show it by 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 for my math or if i don't a little yet
