[000:00:00;00] the to look into intermedia. keitel is the dimensions of the photo i'm seen send the most of the video to be the most of the young of the there's 2 things we love in this country, its cache and freedom. but anybody that'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 shackle to get 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 heart and the 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 afraid of lots of free freedom to go back to school to learn new skills, freedom to take care of it, aging parents, the freedom to start a small business and 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 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 got attention on the internet for these videos i made featuring a character called the liberal read drake. router, little read will to try crowded long time no scheme. i want to talk to you about something that's deeply personal to my payables. lot people asked me what to think about black live matter. well, put simply a site 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 is like, well, you know, when i blow money out or something, i'm screwed and now it's 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 living 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 a universal basic income. it 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 best to you, but it could be a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up on and don't get me 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 that seems to me as a guarantee to annual income, a guaranteed minimum income of people and full time 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 sold, stifling of brands for human dignity that sold bite the lions a welfare of welfare children the day. one started in america actually already has a form of basic game to 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, the late and the laugh shows on a big, strangely proud of it. because as a whole concept of people owning the resources, then 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 image 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 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 i typically win because it's re, 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 at the town square. it 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 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 every body and so on, that you talk cable. this worked osh kosh, osh kosh and fast 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 then the mid ninety's after night have to 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 year stance. and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon so, so on. 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 in the states where you think the people there would be all for it with it. i don't know that that is true. the, there it is saying that the crime, these, they ask us for gosh, factors. 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 the 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 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 the stuff with mama are getting all strung 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 pretty much the ripple effects under dan got see. yeah. i know. you know, that was, i mean yeah i was, i just, the hits just kept on come and the saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say why i know, i mean, i don't know hand that yeah, i'm not looking for and well here's an, 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 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 fear, radically. a big portion of it would get like pump straight back into just sure the general economy because they're gonna spinning all the 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 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 basic income when you're

taxing people and redistributing wealth without merit that and encourages leasing workforce warren buffet to work hard workforce this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you can not appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free. the and i know you might this trust is providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. the med. no, you might just trust 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 in disappoint forgives. 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 some of the. 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 it's 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 moves. 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. so i was just the 1st day and they came to my mind square my babies after you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm nice to you 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

the the 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 trouble, little supreme within the g o. p. the debates and the shooting to change the job rally her mother's us to store the model girl to i got you. no problem seem to them out of the things, arguments us out of the drive i showed my brother through he was sudden to hoping for a lo so now i never look at searches as being saved. well, i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of chicago police. it'd be gang chicago is like to be

a photo that police. you really think your life as another crap thing. another one could have been a doctor or nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here. the, all of the individuals that we work with living communities where they receive housing vouchers, we really are trying to figure out the impact them being assessed when cache 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? are they are 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 their freedom the,

the a blue shirt. um you pretty much do you know 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 have to rush back home, get the baby ready to take him to my mom's house is entering the turbo tuesday once you get the 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. 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. i want a job. this is just going to make, is me, i want to be able to is saving, you know, take trips and do all of these to. 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 for you and your family can drive you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actually so streams. this 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 to you or you that you have to spend it on, or how much you have to say. let me say in our when i was on tanf these motors for

gays, you have to put this, this is for gas and 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. risk 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 are 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. with best means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring insurance household you are to have for take a moment, lift the sinking and that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tana. because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids the 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 and we're requiring them to take because 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 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 that 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 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 and 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 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

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 reading, economic vitality to town. so it's one of the a thank you. a freight 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 broader attention to the idea based 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. does it sound too good to be true? the face? how sort of go by. exactly what other. 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 the pays entering the on my senior session as i see it. 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 thursday. my husband went to transport court over his oldest daughter, not our 3, but his oldest. so this one age of that judge, look, i just got a job. i'll start paying however much little bit of pay most of it. that wasn't good enough that here's the inside. it's to $180.00 days or until family can come up with $700.00. about $700.00 in waterbury. $310.00 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. the soonest, the harder i tried for my kids to be normal, the 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 divided care work as a society and if we think about what really matters to in good society, to a society where people liable 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 music income by being unconditional enables people to make a choice to spend more time caring for others. the

why will what we tax 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, we're 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 and 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 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. it will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the the

to me this one more to personalities. been this is and you must always displayed the loading on the, on the 2nd, but to pull it out and give them the say, the most value of the scale. it will. but he really is he looking the i want them to me like what the vision, the most the i will give you the thought of the sheet. a little guy enough. are you the other day you get enough to go and even throw both of them good place the the level of again the, there's going, there's the guy that sheet of going to get the same rather than will be. i know me, they've been dealing with nearly many bits of children in space, so to see they don't get up and get a letter with the monday or they go. and if could do gasket on monday, did you want to go to 2nd, when the doc, a busy by log, i don't want them to, but she's to go mean he goes empty. i'm the, i mean, the must have gone through. i'm we a more than the other. she be the be i one of all the go on piano already done.

that's around like it goes, it, give them a go down. it will be the most people i know they laser 8 hour job and go home and relax. but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep my clothes, change my clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd and this keeps and keeps me from want to go home. what's the book about this time? oh, well, it is free to shoot you a piece of mailbox. it was, it was um, oh yeah,
