to just not have to worry about money every single 2nd of every day. ah flemming, up until literally last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just, i live in paycheck to paycheck, not having any extra money for any thing at all. and you know, things happen. my name is trey crowder. i got attention on the internet for these videos. i made featuring a character called the liberal read tri crowder little red, tri crowded long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to me. pails, law people ask me what i like about black lab matter. well, put simply,

i think that i do for a long time when i was a young adult, i didn't have health insurance, you know. and so i wouldn't do i in a mural sports and stuff like that at college right. 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. 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 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 setting the saving medication. he needed, the worsening on a planet picture is simply staggering. the pan amec is also causing many to go

hungry. my bills are going to back up and i'm going to be in job here. a couple, a student loan debt in the united states has doubled 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 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 our best 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 be one of answers, seems to me, is a guaranteed annual income, a guaranteed minimum income from all people and family is from $969.00. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress, let us place a bore under the income of every family with children in america. and without those demeaning souls cycling a france for human dignity that so blights alliance well for the 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 emulate. and the last,

probably extremely proud of it because it's a whole new concept of people loaning the resources and the government having to take their money back from the people instead of government getting the money is 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 tag to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net the world has ever seen. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back is going to some big sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice get with it to out from a small town a lot higher. and i feel like that's an argument that i typically win because it's

really, really small. i remember saladas 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 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 were outlawed as many of the people work and my neighbor caller to come out there for a long time. and then i 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 das gosh that. and if you heard oshkosh, my gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades, the center, the town to con was large clouds and factory. and in the mid nineties,

after night after it might 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 at the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and that also essentially, you thank the people that 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, 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 clothes, people had worked there, 40 years go after here i was in

business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that may be a factory was going to be close. and i mean people stopped coming in to the restaurant and 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 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 i, you know, all the stuff with mama, her getting all strung out yonah jail in my life changed tremendously for the worse just like everybody else is around here. when that happened. well, in like it affected like literally everything and pray, learning the ripple linux and other than that. yeah. i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was just the hits just kept on come and ah,

i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, why not? 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 actually 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 have chicken him was had his last day, right? to see what they did. 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 may like, theoretically a big portion of it would get like pop strike back into just pure general economy. because there has been an old things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because i had no money to do. the idea of giving unconditional cash

might not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shocker. how does this 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, 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 wealth without merit, that in 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 no you my this trust if providing a garron seed in time to low income african american women and their families. the

med mal 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, i had to get the 2018 in magnolia. mother's trust is the 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, there will be all tremendous break for gays to support my key. it's ah, tell me pay bills and hell know to straight from month to month with where my mom will in of, of his relationship. 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 would never ever put my key. it's in jeopardy of or in a relationship that i mean is now work for you have to break the cycle somewhere. and so little bit more to jason and i broke the like there's 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. oh, that one night when mamma baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch and o c muscles right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes. i had to 1st in they came to mamma was grant my baby. i fear for my life and i knew like at the moment, i'm now stay here forever. i will get back in school pay off some days and continue

to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and my loan, ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah, a ah with oh, is your media

a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. isolation, whole community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, that's another way. why do you easy while find it?

oh, yeah. or you one slide? yes. south. yeah. rash with duck. awesome boys. now watch them up. all me at that. i'll pull up. right. beat them. that is emma? yeah. little video from. she'll let me just kim's room should thoughts. did you say the why fi ela? a yes. my thought or jane in the it again, your fortune, pity up my be a lot about this more than just a natural who

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 held their freedom? ah, more recently i didn't shirt home. yo freedom was getting up a fire, getting all the middle one dressed there were 80 chips of the bl estoppel, least by far 45 gin him off. the school were actually come bakes of the house.

oldest one she's getting ready or bulls were wired, malaysians 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house. he's entering the. busy terrible to say what you get bad cold and come along sir. come, let me see, let me see, can i see d rady myself and also be in clay is a like 720 some like risha. 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 wanna job this is going to make is me. i want to be able to save it, you know, take trips and do all the things too. so in

a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. just by virtue of your being here, you deserve a life where you and your family can drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actual are. so streams is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very side about these are not really hearing too many like loser. just tell you or you, you have to spend it on or oh, well, how many she have this many? let me say, and i said i was on time. if these letters for gays, you have to put this, this is for j. as in transportation work, he sees a doctor. i see you only little tears. you can't say food stamps in 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. ris is gonna be exciting. having most of america believe that our systems work that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. that's actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the complication of the system, but they're not why you're just ineffective. for example, if you're on panic, 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. in most cases that means that you will lose your net for 90 days.

what that means is there for 90 days. if you have no way of ensuring insured household, your chairs have full. take a moment list as sinking 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 oh, 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, someone or you know, have to take the drug test that 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 with. 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. 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 can not 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 in an efficient and judicious manner, right? as joe. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd, 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 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 bales. because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with a job you be, i can be an economic slower on which we all can stand. i want to let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cook out tomorrow, heading out fires for event. we're having tomorrow, the board house, my name is almost lucky and i am an associate professor of practice in political science and what you shanghai also it's going to be right across the street at the

courthouse. ok, and we're going to talk about ways of bringing economic vitality to towns like wanna this. thank you. great. if people really understood what the basic income is, i think would be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates 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 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? that doesn't sound too good to be true. yeah. mm mm. for for way, more from good faith. hope in our what i go by. exactly what other than, 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 get that back, but would rather my bills we paid entering me on my finger. i see it. i don't. i don't want to 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, my husband went to charge for court over his oldest daughter, not our 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 days or until his family can come up. $7700.00 is a lot of money to be. $10.00 is a lot of money to so it hadn't gone. what do you use it for christmas? what he knew, i don't mean to link is there like no harder or gerard from accused me nor will. the further they go back in

one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for 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 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. ah

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 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 games 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. when our church seemed wrong, when i just don't hold any world yet to see how this thing

becomes the advocate, an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground o . in 2022, the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine, coordination with nita to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a week even i told me bombs are here even on the same naco and the u. f with you should the ones that people will die just for make money . the one that has been yes because otherwise you must who got through on it if you're going through unless you are complete, i mean there's water damage. you thought if you do,

you need to be done to get them for them as well. dar morsa me my show it a tool or able hopa. zach 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 that last or if i don't a let's get a scared out and was from and do not she then the last the daily data. wonderful. i was just the oil my last lot a lot you think they'll be enough food. and we're not even fun. theda the are we witnessing the hand of globalization as we have known it for about the last 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 noon regional and block globalization

ah, the u. s. u, the summit with african countries to 4 to 5. washington chinese activities in the region. well, washington and shift from africa is acute issues. it's plums by china's foreign ministry. and i don't if africa is not gonna re enough, a big public games, let alone the target of all the treat prussia from any country. old person, washington should respect the world. the african people got great acute disease, self proclaimed, were public. of course about the thing a majority 3rd center and the regions north to 1000 to christina officially applied for you.
