of the warming up until literally the last 2 years of my life lives 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, 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 by of matter. well, put simply 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, but i 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, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just the 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 non 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 dad. my son couldn't afford to live, sit in 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 heard about the idea of the universal basic income. it was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go, so 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 best to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up and don't get me wrong. i'm grateful for him. but i kinda 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 exist, but it could have and should have been so much better. we deserve better. you be, i is actually not a new id. and 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 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 family is from 1969. richard nixon even propose that actual plan to congress. let us play so far under the income of every family with children in the matter. and without those, the meaning souls 5 when your friends for human dignity, that soul bite, the lions well from the 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 lamps goes out to be extremely proud of that because as a whole concept of people owning your resources and 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 term the do for them 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 seen. 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 tell me why i'm 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 typically when, because it's really, really small. i remember saladas dislikes quite

a little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good. the town square was, you know, just little mom and pop business is 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 work. and that's for my mom work, that's where i am a neighbor caller to come out there for a long, long time. and then my 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. this worked osh kosh, osh kosh. that's kosh that, and if you heard of us, comfortable, 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 eat my buckets down at midnight and went south as a boat or, and we never recover the,

there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus year sands, and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizons. so that's why the, in my opinion is like a textbook example of a 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 was, 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 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 maybe

a factory was going to be closed. i mean, people stop coming into 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 it's, it's literally all going to say and not all, not only is that all gone but like, you know, all the stuff with mama are getting all strong out. i'm going to jail my, my life changed tremendously for the worst, 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 under then see. yeah, i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like the, the hits just kept on coming. the

saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well, i have no, i mean i don't know 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 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 faced on their car or 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 radically a big portion of it would get like pump straight back into 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 didn't have the money to do the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this out 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 basic income when you're texting people and redistributing wealth without marriage, that is encourages lazy, not forced warren buffett to work hard with forced this guy to work hard, not handling them a check, you can not appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. the next know you. my distress is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. 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 lead us from industry for gay years. so support my kids, tell me pay bills and have enough to stretch from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships. my dad was very, very so when i get into my relationship model as she 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 when me and my baby 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. and i will get back just to pay off some dish and seemed to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i

want for me and my the, the me, this one more to personalities been this is the most of us displayed on the 2nd, but to pull it out and give them the uh, the most value of what we have done most scale they will by she really easy to look and we have one of the we like, but the, you, the most the i will give you the thought the he a little guy enough, are you the enough to go and, and even throw both of them good for the start of the level of again the, there's going is the guys that the sheet of going to get that it was saying was when will be i know me, the event is with nearly money visits, you only space so it on the way down could have been yeah, the letter was just the monday or they going this could do gasket on monday. did

you want to go to some community dock? a busy by law got a warranty, but she's the committee goes empty. i'm the i mean the must have gone through. yeah . we a more than the other. she be the, be i one of all the got done beyond what he did not to have it. like it goes, it give a like go down because it will be the because they already, gosh, they see here because they cut the store. i visited and then use familiar email you which is great to fit into the rules, the nazis theory of racial superiority. if any style for years of creating an ssl, all the place and 14 concentration comes. so the full prisoner of war, labor comes to in prisons really well, you know, think do loose call level. she's going to be in the new. so i'm assuming if i need even the chest really to get all the lift gate,

i'm assuming people's going to be approximately $25000.00 people went through the occupied of go to finish camps according to official fee goes this move step dudley level. if the shift did you do it in like you do monday, i'm not sure it's just the scenario to stuff. so the youngest, i'm you know what the famine disease forced labor torture by the word is formulas. what was the last it also need you to do? what's the tape it to you that the city variables given off with those who put in these 9, push these things up to give you what you want to do because he doesn't do those thousands of testimonies of crimes and the impunity of criminals. when you look on here, you know, wanted to start you to speak, it's not even a good idea. yeah. what's a good? i see you don't really supplement. they decided to do it, but it was then yes, i was put in the middle of 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 you know, pretty much getting up. verify. getting the middle one jurors that really 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 clay is 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 and 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 where 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 rules or just tell you what are you at and you have to spend it on or how much you have to. so me, let me say to nurse, when i was on tanf, be 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 systems are in, in the complication of the systems that 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. why you're looking for the job. if you do not have a job within 2 weeks, you are sanctioned, 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. the household you are to is have to take a moment list, this 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. a need to reach the home. okay, and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong, 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 that we're requiring them to take because they're 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 implemented. i think our current and 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, society, that leaves people in the coal without options cannot call a 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 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, 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, 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 town. so it's one of the, i thank you. a rate is people really understood with 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 . 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 sa lineup. that sound good to you. that doesn't sound too good to be true, the face. how to what i got 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 get that back. that would rather my bills be pays entering the on my fingers, especially as i say, i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want as an indigent,

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 tuesday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3, but his oldest otis when he's young, 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. to $180.00 days or until family could come up with $700.00 about $700.00. 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 know mean to they know you and they're still like the harder i try for my kids to be normal for further they go pack 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 site and so and if we think about what really matters to include 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 all conception of a good to say music income by being unconditional, enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. the why will what we text 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 right, we're not gonna take all their money for real time keeping up 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 look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a

robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show your mind. and just in case we should be very careful about visual intelligence. at the point, obviously, is to create a trust rather than fit the various jobs. i mean with the artificial intelligence we have so many redeeming the robot must protect this phone existence was on the pre attempted. assassination of donald trump appears to flip the script of american politics from but once the unified democrats in divided republicans. now the democrats are in disarray and trump rule supreme within the g o. p. the debates and the shooting, the change every the,
