12:31 pm
negotiations a deal for 90. 5 russian sab has been on an equal number of ukrainian prisoners returned to their respective home countries. there is released by t, as will be spoken to, must go to receive treatment at the military magical institution. well, that is a rock for this. i'll ad right for me, for the day of the hell not from the top. it is right. so we're evil as to me of the the, 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,
12:32 pm
you ain't got no freedom shackle jack, i'll do a job that exploits you. shackled to a good interest, right? this app, she drag shackled to medical bills for ailments. so they could have their own student loans, their default, they know it's an impressive and disheartening 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 universal basic 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
12:33 pm
bombing up until literally the last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation. away from some plate, 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've got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read drake. router. little read. what's a try crowd a long time. no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my pales lot. people asked me what to think about by of matter. well, put st play i find 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. i'm sincerely 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,
12:34 pm
it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just typically 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 a nap savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars free possess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that my son couldn't afford to live setting 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, 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
12:35 pm
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 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 convince people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only ones 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 family is about
12:36 pm
1969. 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 meanings sold, stifling upfront for human dignity that sold by the lions a welfare of welfare children of 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 distributed to every man, woman and child, should be an example for the world and the lights. and the last shows ought to be extremely proud of that, because as a whole concept of people owning your resources, the government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government getting the money and partially moved out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people turn the dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic, they look screen. okay, so they've got oil up in alaska,
12:37 pm
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 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 hometown, smaller than yours. and i feel like that's an argument that typically when, because it's really, really small. i remember saladas dislikes, quite little southern town with you know,
12:38 pm
some charm to it. and the football team was good. the town square was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses, a store for us and that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the towns economy, it was this big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for my mom works, that's where i might ever call her to come out there for a long, long time. and then i might tubs. my dad, he was, he was the head engineer. and my mom, she actually so have her body and so on that you talk cable. he's worked osh kosh, osh kosh, and ask osh that. and if you heard of osh kosh by, gosh, or whatever, yeah, for decades, the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory and in the mid ninety's, after now i have to it my buckets down at midnight and went south as a border. and we never recovered there's been no real
12:39 pm
industry that's come in there and the 20 plus years sense. and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon. so it's a line uh, in my opinion, is like a textbook example of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and it also understands where you'd like to paypal. that would be all for it with, but i don't know that that is true. the, there it is. say of the crime these they ask us for gosh, factors. yes, my gosh, you did. 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 close. and i mean people stop coming into the restaurant
12:40 pm
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 may bump on that or run in the video store in the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school, that's literally all going to say and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all of this stuff with mama are getting all strung out and 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 pretty much the ripple effects other than that. 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've no,
12:41 pm
i mean i don't know a hand that yeah, i'm not looking for hand, well here's the white bring, bring the job back. that's what you need to do. politicians, but 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 problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check. right, right. see what they did, right? presumably they buy stuff or, you know, finally get like the find out fixed on their car, whatever that i've been putting you on 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 to the general economy because they're going to spending all the things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time. cuz i ain't had them and it is the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this so a paycheck every month, even if you do not have a job. i think it's
12:42 pm
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. the universal basic income when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without merit, that he encourages losing that source warren buffett to work hard wood floors. this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you cannot appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. the know you might this trust is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. so the med, no, you my distress, it's doing this in the form of a $1000.00
12:43 pm
a month for 12 months. i am so excited. it's like my 2nd child in a matter of months. 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 stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. the they will lead us from industry for gay is so support my kids. tell me pay bills and hell know it's a straight from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships. i day it was very, very small. so when i got it and my relationship model issue was abusive and i was like, uh, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh. or in
12:44 pm
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 old address and then i brought, besides this a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached. if you use a have i would like them moves. i don't know, i just won't go crazy. that one night when me and my baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch and all seemed muscles right here, right outside the door to shift to 1st a new kind to my my the square up my babies after you for my life. and i knew, but at the moment i'm nice to you here forever. and i will get back just to pay all some dis agency to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me. and my little
12:45 pm
the, the me, this one more to personalities. been the decision, you must always displayed the moon on the, on the 2nd, but to pull it out and you have them done by the most value of the scale. it will. but he really is he still looking to be able to do music, but the issue, the most piano, he lived with the she a little guy enough. are you the diagnosed? you go and even throw both of them, go to the side of the bag on the there's going, there's the guys it, it should have gone to the letter was saying was when will be i know me the vintage with nearly money visits to own in space. or to see we don't get up and yet
12:46 pm
a little just the monday or they going is good. they will gasket monday. did you want to go? so community dock a petition about i got to $1.00 and $2.00, but she's the committee goes empty. i'm the, i mean the must have gone through them. we a multi danielle and she be that'll be one of all the go on beyond what he did not turn on. but kick was it, give him a go down to see what will be 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 them 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 at a more engaged in their local community or they're more engaged in our kids school? are they more engaged in their own self care?
12:47 pm
are they able to now look towards careers and not just the job because they have the freedom, the, the, the t shirt. um, you know, 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 is 655 actually having to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering. busy terrible toothache. well once you get that code and come along, sir, come, let me see, let me see, can i see the rating myself and also be in place a like 720 some light rushing.
12:48 pm
the 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. but i wanna jot this is going to make, is me. i want to be able to, in saving, you know, take trips and do all of the things too. so and the 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 for you and your family can thrive, 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
12:49 pm
rules or just tell you what are you at and you have to spend it on or how much you have to say. let me say, and i was when i was on tanf the somebody's for gays, you have to put this, this is for j as in transportation. well, he see that though, i see you. i'm not 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. that's actually a myth. most folks don't quite understand how complicated these various
12:50 pm
systems are in, in the complication of the systems, but they're not wife and you'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. why you are looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks and you were 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 tanf because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids the need to reach the home. okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong,
12:51 pm
we're blaming the families. we're saying o families don't want to go to work or o family, someone or 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 net 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. a society that leaves people in the coal without options cannot call a self civilized we're trying to elevate and push towards
12:52 pm
a dignity economy, an economy which focuses on the inherent dignity of every person and show 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 hol, circumstances and conditions where lifting up so that we can make certain that we create these dignity economies. we should see 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 lows 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,
12:53 pm
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 universe or 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,
12:54 pm
everyone will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic slower on which we all can stay. i want 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 towns likes 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 proper attention to the idea of basic income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me. the
12:55 pm
. the simplest way to like 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 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, the face. how would i go by?
12:56 pm
exactly whatever. okay, here's one more on your wedding, ready 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 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 on the last thursday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3, but his oldest oldest one age of that judge. look, i just got a job. i'll start paying however much shortly to pay most of it. that wasn't good enough that he is being said, it's to $180.00 days. or until sam can come up with $700.00 about $700.00,
12:57 pm
a lot of money to be $10.00 is a lot of money to do. so with hand on, what do you use for christmas? what do you do? have no means of income. no. here and they're still like the harder i tried for my kids to be normal for further. and i go back the one of the feminist arguments for basic income is that for very long time care work as being devalued. we've divided care work as the site 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 shouldn't be put too much more on the center of all conception of a good to say and music income by being unconditional enables people to make the
12:58 pm
choice to spend more time caring for others. the why will we tax the wealthy for a 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, they're the ones we're doing well. the right, we're not gonna take all their money. we're let them keep an eye so that they are incentivized to keep doing the worst 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
12:59 pm
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, [000:00:00;00] the, the attempted assassination of donald trump appears to flip the script of american politics from once the unified democrats and divided republicans. now the democrats are in disarray and trump rule supreme within the g o. p. the debates and the shooting changed the,
