it's there's 2 things we love in this country. it's cache and freedom. anybody's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you ain't got no cash, you ain't got no freedom shackle jack, i'll do a job that exploits you. shackled to a good interest, right? this apps, you drag shackled to medical bills for ailments, so 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 the universe of isaac income can give you afraid of 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, the freedom to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry

about money every single seconds of every day. the bombing up until literally the last 2 years of my life lives been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just had living 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 drake. router. little read well to try crowded long time. no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my payables. lot people asked me what to think about black live matter. well, put simply, i think that they 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 intramural sports and stuff like that in college right? since surely because i was like, well, 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 precipice. so if i take ruin all the time. yeah, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just the technically 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 an up 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 that my son couldn't afford to live setting the saving medication he needed for swimming 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 trouble here. 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've heard about the idea of the universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go. that's at least 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 kinda look back on those programs and food stamps and all of 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 deserve better. you be, i is actually not a new idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas paint, you know,

the guy who 1st convinced people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther king junior was for you. we are one of answers. it seems to me as a guarantee to annual income, a guaranteed minimum income of people, and pro pamela is about 1969. richard nixon even proposed that actual plan to congress let us place a floor under the income of every family with children in america. and without those, the meanings souls fight with no problems for human dignity that sol bite, the lions well from the welfare children. the day one started in america actually already has a form of basic income alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child, to be an example for the world and the lights, and the lamps goes on to be extremely proud of it because as

a whole concept of people owning your resources from the government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government getting the money in parcel in this out and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people turn the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic village screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska, but how do we pay for basic income and the rest of the country? taxes? yeah, said it the dreaded t word, but yes, actually it's time to in corporate welfare, get big tech to pay its fair share and use tax mechanisms to create the strongest safety net the world has ever saved. and all these rich people can rest easy knowing the extra money they give back isn't going to some big solis government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. the toby love from 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 hometown smaller than yours. and

i feel like that's an argument that i typically win because it's a really, really small i remember saladas dislikes, quite little southern town with, you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good at the child square was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses, a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the town was economy. it was this big clothing factory where most people worked and that's for my mom works best for me. i made ever call her to come out there for a long, long time and then i'm i tubs. my dad, he was, he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so every body and so on, that you talk cable. this worked osh kosh,

osh kosh. that does crush that. and if you heard of osh kosh, val gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory and then the mid ninety's after night it made like a stone or at midnight and went south of the border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus years and so and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon so, so on the, 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 the states, but you think the people there would be all for it with but i don't know that that is true. the, there it is saying that the crime, these, they ask us for gosh, factories. yes, my gosh, it is. how long do you know how long it was here?

the factory was here and when he close people at work there, 40 years, go ahead after you. i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that maybe a factory was going to be closed. i mean, people stop coming in to the restaurant and spending 4 bucks on, you know, a sub or something like that. if it was $34.00, or $5.00, people stop spinning it, you know, you've got the cafe, my mom and dad are running the video store and the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school, that i'm literally all going to say and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all this stuff with mama are getting all strong out. i'm going to jail my, my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happens, you know, and like it affected like literally everything and pray among the ripple effects

other than that see yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like the, the hits just kept on come and the i'm saying i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well, i know, i mean i don't know a hand that yeah, i'm not looking for and well he just in a white bring bring the job back. that's what you need to do politicians. but like, i mean, can 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 the problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check. right, right. see what they did, right? presumably they biased or, you know, finally get like the find out fixed on their car, whatever that i've been putting 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 see a radically, a big portion of it would get like pump straight back in to just sure the general

economy because they're gonna spend it on things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because they don't have the money to do, or the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this so a pay check every month, even if you do not have a job. i think it's a continuation towards the road of socialism in 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 with the universal base again, come when you're texting people and redistributing walls without marriage, that he encourages lazy not forced warren buffet to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. the

and i know you might this trust it providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women in their families. so the med, no, 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 child in the matter a month. so i have 2 kids and 2018 and they know you mothers trust is one of the it is taking a population that works so hard to be seen on a daily basis. and really saying we see, we honor your story, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. the they will be on us from in this point, forgives support. my kids tell me pay deals and have enough to straight

from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships, my day was the very, very small. so when i get into my relationship model issue was abusive and i was like, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh, all in a relationship that i mean is not working. so you have to break the cycle somewhere . and so that's what i did. i'm going to jason and i brought this a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use i have, i would like them these. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. that one night with me on my page this way here we actually fell asleep on the couch and all seemed us was right here, right outside the door. the shots are the 1st day and they came to my

mind square up my babies after you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm not staying here forever. i will get back to school, pay of some dis agency to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and my little take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this. but can you see through their illusions, going underground? can the

to 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 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 or they're more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care? are they able to now look towards careers and not just the job because they have

the freedom, the more the the church. um yeah, pretty much getting up. verify. getting the middle one dressed and ready. take him to the bus, stop a lease by $545.00. do you need him off the school or actually come back to the house? oh, this one she's getting ready? probably this will arrive no later than 655. actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house. he's entering the. busy turbo tuesday once you get that code and come along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see the reading myself and also being play as a like 720 some light rushing.

so i think of the lack of sleep is very challenging. i want to at least get to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. i want a job. this is just going to make is me. i want to be able to save and, you know, take trips and do all of the things too. so in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserving. 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 actually so strings is going to help us really, really like really, really a lot i'm very size about these are not really having too many like

rules or just tell you or you and you have to explain it on or how much she have to say. let me say to nurse when i was on tanf the somebody's for gays, you have to put this, this is for gas and transportation. well, he see that doctor. i see you here. you can say food stamps and pay lie. be like, you 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 going to be exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work. that's that we have welfare and we have these safety nets and they actually are doing what it is that they're supposed to be doing. and that's not true. this actually a med, most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various systems are in the

complication of the systems, but they're not wife and they're just in effect that for example, if you're on 10 of your case worker to say ok, you have 2 weeks to get a job, but no support is provided and getting that job. no child care is provided while you're looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks and you are saying, since in most cases, that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days. that's what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring insurance. household you are to have to take a moment list, that's thinking that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with 10 after. because who can run the risk of not being able to be their kids. the need to reach the home. okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are

wrong were blaming the families, were saying, oh family. so one of the work r o family, someone are, you know, have to take the drug test and we're requiring them to take this has their own 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 implemented. i think our current safety system is not working. and so i believe that a guaranteed income is an opportunity for us to rewrite the system. the 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 depend on a meal, a society, they cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. society that leads people in the coal without options, cannot call the self civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards

a dignity economy, an 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 home societies we're raising, the more hol, circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should say the 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 was, can be very wide ranging hard to quantifier 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. rise as joe. 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 simple. the minute you get a job and your income increases that support will decrease. think about the incentives of that that 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 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. the 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 stay at the one to let you know we're having a townhome discussion and cook out tomorrow. i'm just heading out flyers for event . we're having tomorrow at the courthouse. my name is alma so lucky and i'm an associate professor of practice in political science at n y u, shanghai. awesome. 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 town. so it's one of the, the rate is people really understood what the basic income is. i think it be great if this is something that they started to talk to candidates about as well. so that we can bring the broader attention to the idea of basic income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. the

. the simplest way that i can explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. i think if we just 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. doesn't sound too good to be true, the face. how would i go by?

exactly whatever. ok, here's one more fond your wedding ring 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 that i would rather my bills would be pays entering beyond my senior such as i say, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want as in india to i just want to be able to pay my bill for my kids. that's all i want to be able to get the last thursday. my husband went to transport court over his oldest daughter, not power 3, but his oldest otis, when he's younger that judge, look, i just got a job and i'll start paying however much shortly to pay most of it. that wasn't good enough. that here's the answer. it's to $180.00 days or until sampling can come up with $7700.00, a lot of money to me. $10.00 is

a lot of money to do. so with hand on, what are you using for christmas? what do you have no means of income? no. the soonest, the harder i tried for my kids to be normal for further they go back the 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 the sites and if we think about what really matters to a good society to a society where people able to flourish. and then of course, realize that care shouldn't be put too much more on the center of the conception of a good to say. and music income by being unconditional enables people to make the

choice to spend more time caring for others. the why would what we types the wealthy for basic income is because we take 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 . and they're the ones we're doing well. the are, we're not gonna take all their money, were to let them keep an eye so 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 and security 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. the today, the are of countries are in my view, in a stronger position than they were in 1973. they carry much more economic weight and they didn't 1973 today. you guys are united some and and it's very clear that the palestinian issue is not going to go away. and there is no way israel will be integrated in the region before this browsing issue. is resolved the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the, the, to do it that showed us because a couple of for 6 people. so mostly for those is the bonus plus the set of rules. and for some reason we're going in the middle and you know, what else about the future?

just stuck with nature spends used to boom. does it deal to deal boom or to put those that was on the was the

the the wrong this presidential race had to run off with reform is masoud, possess key and conservative side jenny, that to face off next week. the wrong direction of israel with a devastating hole. if tel aviv decides to embark on a full scale military aggression against lebanon's, husband as well say that ready to open. another upfront and to new york times close to binding to drop house of the presidential race off a kilometer debate performance reinforcing speculation. the democrats have signed the loan to put forward another candidate also has with or without you. we will
