that means the e u does not have a unified position and cannot achieve overall consensus when it comes to this issue . however, if we take any country in the balcony as an example, even the process of submitting the application for e u membership and a public declaration of such intentions is always agreed at the very political top of the e in brussels or cliff criteria both needed. if they wanted to, they would have already fulfilled the established agreements. the west would have asked pristine a long time ago to find a solution to the issue of the serbian municipalities in kosovo. are you in accordance with the appropriate mechanisms and instruments to guarantee the safety of the serbs and secure their rights? so that's why what angela merkel said regarding the minsk agreements is also applicable. in my opinion. it's a brussels agreements when it comes to kosovo is at 304
11:31 pm
years worth breed hue. the russian federation can provide support to serbia within the security council of the u. n. as its permanent member in that regard, our abilities are significant. for that to happen. we need to have an official invitation from belgrade to do so. that is the most important thing. because kosovo is 1st and foremost a serbian question. you're good for us. this is an extremely sensitive issue because we have friendly relations with serbia. and serbia is our strategic partner . and that's her up on the hours most pressing new stories from around the globe for more 247 year than updates. and i were to r t dot com and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble. and god, thanks for t n. see again, next hour. there's 2 things we love in this country. it's cash and freedom. but anybody,
11:32 pm
it's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you've got no cash, 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 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 to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship, the freedom to just not have to worry about money. every single 2nd of every day. ah . warming up until
11:33 pm
literally last 2 years of 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. i got attention on the internet for these videos. i made featuring a character called the liberal read try crowd or little read. try crowder long time, no scheme, own it out to you about something. it's deeply personal to me. pails lot of ask 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 since, 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
11:34 pm
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 someplace 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. couple is student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans, $65.00 and older are in default. that's always gonna be there for me. personally,
11:35 pm
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 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 way deserved better u b, i is actually not a new idea. and 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
11:36 pm
a guaranteed annual income or guaranteed minimum income for old people. and for all families of our country. 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 sold 5 winning a bronze for human dignity that sold by the lives a wealth of 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. real example for the world emulate. the alliance goes over big, strangely 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 elite screen. okay,
11:37 pm
so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and 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 seen. 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 salinas dislike clients,
11:38 pm
little southern town with you know, some charm to it and the football team was good. the child squire was you know, just little mom and pop businesses restore 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 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 top table, these work oshkosh, oshkosh that and das kosh that. and if you heard osh kosh, my gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades center the towns 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.
11:39 pm
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 misaligned, 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 saying the crime is there osh kosh vegas 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 ahead. after here i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that may be
11:40 pm
a fact who 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 3 for $5.00, people stop spinning it. you know, you've got the cafe may mon 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 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 go to jail him. i my wife changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here. when that happened, well, by get affected like literally everything and pray like the ripple in excel or band that yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i wasn't just the hits just kept on come and ah,
11:41 pm
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 and i, well i just want to work bring 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 going to be a major that i would love to also see how they respond. if he could have chicken him once had his last day 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 want to main, like theoretically, a big portion of it would get, like pop, 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. how does this sound
11:42 pm
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 marriage, 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 now, my distress is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women in their family. so the
11:43 pm
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 a matter of months, i had 2 kids and 2018 in magnolia mothers 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 gods from industry 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 of, of his relationship. my day it was very, very for my mom. so when i got of them i will, i, she'll marliss,
11:44 pm
you was abusive and i was like, i would never, ever put my key in jeopardy of or in a relationship that i mean is not working. or you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so therefore i be a motor jason, and i broke with like there's a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a hair, well, i will like there mays. i don't know. i just won't go crazy with that one night when emma babies were here. we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, seamless was right here. i else heard the door. josh, yes. i had to 1st didn't account to my mom who squared my baby as you 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
11:45 pm
can get the home that i want for me and my load with . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, movies on, often very dramatic, that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk. ben lou, my lou lou, my lou,
11:46 pm
11:47 pm
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 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? are they able to now look towards career and not just the job because they held their freedom blue more easily the employee here ensure oh, pretty much getting up there. 5, getting all the middle one dresser ready take him to the bus. stop a lease by 545, getting them off the school were actually come back to the house. oh, okay. one she's getting ready or girls were right now ladies. 655. actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take your so my mom's house is entering the. busy terrible
11:48 pm
toothache 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 720 some light rushing. oh . so i think of the lack of sleep is merely challenging. i want to lease 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,
11:49 pm
tim bribe, you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually use those dreams 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 are just tell you where you are. you have to spend it on or how, how many she have this me 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 terms of asian. well, he see that doctor, i see you. i'm not here. 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
11:50 pm
work that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what it said they're supposed to be doing. and it'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 warped and they're just ineffective. for example, if you're on tana your case worker cafe, okay, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided in getting that job. no child care is provided. why you're looking for that job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned, in most cases that means that you will lose your a smith for 90 days. that what that means is there for 90 days. you have no way of ensuring that shirt household. your kids have food, take a moment, little as their st in. there's also while a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana,
11:51 pm
but 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 r o family, someone i, you know, have to take the drug tests 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 assistant is now working in 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,
11:52 pm
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 a 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
11:53 pm
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,
11:54 pm
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 townhome discussion and cook out tomorrow, heading out flyers for event. we're having 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 on i 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
11:55 pm
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 way, 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? that doesn't sound too good to be true. yeah.
11:56 pm
mm mm. for washington. faith. hope you don't want to go by? exactly one of them. okay, here's one long mm. 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 be paid entering me on my finger precious . i say 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 charged for court over his oldest daughter not are 3,
11:57 pm
but his oldest oldest one asia that judge look, i just got a job at all start paying, however much shortly to pay. that wasn't good enough that he is be in the $180.00 days or until his family can come up with $7700.00 is a lot of money to me. $10.00 in a lot of money to. so with him gone. what do you use for christmas? what he knew is still 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 a society. and if we think about what really matters to include society to
11:58 pm
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 who are doing well. mm hm. 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
11:59 pm
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 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, what else shows seemed wrong? a shape out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart,
12:00 am
we choose to look for common ground. a with the mayor of john. yes, says the republican capital has come under the most intense attack since 2014 as ukrainian ports as lodge 40 and missiles at the city overnight. the top chemical weapons watch dogs chief is awarded francis highest national honor. this by a cover of scandal alleging a steering chemical impact back in 2018 bite and bows. he's all in on.
