7:30 pm
just described by because they don't have any other choice and that's not freedom, but a universal basic income can give you free 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. ah, i mean up until literally last 2 years of my life i've 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. i've got attention on the
7:31 pm
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 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 in a mural sports and stuff like that at college. sincerely because i was like, well, you know, when 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 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 don't have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of american to are on the verge of
7:32 pm
having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. my son couldn't afford the life sitting the saving medication. he needed, the worsening on a planet picture is simply 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 heard about the idea of a universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go, that's at least a solution because we're gonna have to do something. the idea is this. every citizen in this country would receive a $1000.00 a month every month, no strings attached that might seem far fetched to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up
7:33 pm
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 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 are all one advantage, seems to me is, are guaranteed, and you women come are guaranteed minimum income fall old people enfold families around $969.00. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress. let us play so far under the income of every family, with children in america. and without those, the meaning sold 5000000 prompts for human dignity that sold by the lives well for
7:34 pm
welfare. childrens with 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. the alliance goes all to be extremely 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 pro 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, 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 tag to pay its fair 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 is going to
7:35 pm
some big sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. mm. i'll tell we were from a small town a lot, especially in the south the 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 tailed squire was, you know, just little mom and pop business as a store for us that type of thing. 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 for mom, mom or that's for
7:36 pm
a lot and anything. where am i ever collar to come out there for a long, 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, he's work oshkosh, oshkosh, that house. 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 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 place that would benefit a lot from a basic income and then also from
7:37 pm
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. 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 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 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 on. it was sad and not all,
7:38 pm
not only is that all gone but like a, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strong. i'll be able to jail him. i my wife changed tremendously for the worse just like everybody else is around here. when that happened, it was like, it affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple linux and other than that. yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean we, how is it just the hits just kept on common with . i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, why not? i mean, i don't know hand. yeah. i'm looking for a hand. well, i just want to work bringing, bringing 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 elijah. i would love to also see how they respond. if he could kick him once and ride he slide day,
7:39 pm
right to 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 into just sure 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 does this out a paycheck every month, even if you do not have a job, i think is a continuation towards the road of socialism in america. well, there should be a 2nd chance, not a way of life. we're going to take from you over here to give to you over here, because that's where we're going to do the universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing well without marriage, that encourages lazy. what forced warren buffett to work hard with forced this guy to hard, not handling them
7:40 pm
a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. with a ah no, you 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 2 kids and 2018 in magnolia. mother's trust is one of them. it is taking a population that worked so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying, we see, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your
7:41 pm

7:43 pm
a when i was shown the wrong one, i just don't i mean you have to figure out this thing because the advocate and engagement it was 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
7:44 pm
defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a week, almost. even i told me bombs are hearing all the same nato and the you with the ones that people will die just for make money. the one that i have i have been yes because why you mess you got through on it or if you're going through, unless you are complete, i mean there's water. damage with on going for the month is will dollars more sir? me? my show it was wrong. tool or able hopa, zack, 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 lateral yet, levi and more on a skid out and was home and do not she then the the, the,
7:45 pm
the desperate wonderful i was just the mileage. so we bought a low today because he has been a food he's and we're not returning fund theda the 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 easily a shirt omeo, pretty much getting up a fire,
7:46 pm
getting all the middle one address there were 80 sections of the bus stop police by 545, getting them off the school were actually come back to the house. oldest one. she's getting ready publish wires. millennium is 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house. he's entering. busy that terrible tuesday when you get back 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 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
7:47 pm
a good paying job. i wanna job this is going to make is me. i want to be able to save, you know, take trib, so do all the things to so in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed in calm 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 cited about these are not really having too many like rules or just tell you or you or you have to spend it on or how, how much she have this me let me say, and i was on time. if this money's for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in terms of asian work. he see the doctor. i see you
7:48 pm
early, your little tears. you can say food, 1000 pale, i be alike. he can't take food stamps and get your medicine, so it is a big difference. being able to just going to everything i need to go. ris is gonna be exciting. being most of america believe that our systems work or 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 pana, your case worker could say, okay, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no supported provide it been getting that job. no child care is provided when
7:49 pm
you're looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are thankful 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 insured household, your chairs have 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, 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, someone a, 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
7:50 pm
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 cannot take care of its children, society that 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,
7:51 pm
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 an efficient and judicious manner, right? as jo, 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
7:52 pm
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 once let you know we're having a town hall discussion and cook out for me out flyers for event. we're having
7:53 pm
tomorrow at the courthouse, my name is almost lucky and i am an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u 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, lakes wanna i think it was great if people really understood what the basic income is. i think it be great if this was something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring broader attention to the idea of 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,
7:54 pm
basic income can eliminate poverty. can increase economic security for working folks and can give a boost to local economies like the economy of selena. does that sound good to you? does it sound too good to be true? yeah. mm mm. for us to slow down with faith, hope in our what i go by. exactly what i love them. okay, here's 11 for your wedding. hurry 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. as i say,
7:55 pm
i don't, i won't be rich by any means. i don't want it and handed to me. i just want to be able to pay my bills for my kids. that's all i want a 1000000. 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 that i'll start paying however much shortly to pay a month. that wasn't good enough that he's been sentenced out of a days or until his family could come up with 700 zeros law. reach me, $10.00 is already to me. so with him gone, what do you live for christmas? what he knew no mean to lean. no.
7:56 pm
it's still like no harder are charged for my kids to be normal before 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, 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,
7:57 pm
it's because they're the ones we're benefiting from the economy. as it is right now, they're the ones we're doing well. move them. i will not take all their money will let them keep. and after that, they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward entrepreneurs, we want to reward people who take business risks. we want to reward people who create jobs for other americans. but we take some of their, some of the gains that they're making and we share it with everybody. and that not only has the effect of reducing economic insecurity 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,
7:58 pm
oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way, or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. what are you crazy?
7:59 pm
oh, yes. or took a look and i lost most of my friends, but i was go can i wasn't able to save anyone. i get nothing that i met wilson 2030 and god. what's really in my way to make me start talking to willy waiting for me with him. i'm happy that i'm to find is really little so you can go to sleep. my mother had become my new friend. the one was love gonna die or i was he is, i would stay alive. they next to me if
8:00 pm
i'm not crazy enough. i'm not gonna make it a quick jenny attempts of the ukrainian forces to cross the forest. r k, follow russian troops in their battle for strategic positions against ukrainian forces on the don bad front line. u. s. president biden boy support for africa for their participation in paulding international problem. china, foreign ministry plan to move as a us power grab for africa. conduct of africa is not an arena for big public games, let alone the target of all the tree prussia from any country. old person. washington should respect the will of the.
