6, if i had a guess and i don't think i'm guessing i think the j. d. vance was the following. the donald trump position that the, the members of nato have to pay a fair share. i'm just interesting as wellness, martin, the general out in this fear, you know, even a away from the convention because mr. funds said that said donald trump's opponents are resorting to quote, abuse on persecution. given the court cases, he's be no longer. of course, the assassination attempt against mister todd. how different it do you see the political climate right now? i have compared to elections of the past. it's been called on the knife edge is not how you see it. there's tremendous divisions in the country, but i don't think that you just haven't seen, we call it law fair it's, it's almost like, you know, there's some of these countries in south america of that you have the democrats and the biden administration, accounting president, trump,
1:31 am
through these absolutely bogus criminal cases. the january 6 case. i mean, did they did their prosecuting donald trump, the buying special prosecutor for january 6th? i didn't said just a few weeks ago, we've got to put donald trump in the bull's eye. say, well, if you're going to prosecute donald trump for single january 6, and we have to fight, you know, for free elections. how is that any different than what joe biden set you here? do you think the judge just dismissed the document case? you know, in florida, the georgia case, the, that it looks like the courts are going to disqualify the district attorney. and you have this bogus case in new york where unfortunately he was convicted that based on a recent us supreme court case, i think is likely it's going to be set aside. so that bill mer who's a liberal democrat commentator is well known. he's on tv, he's actually very funny guy as well. he gave you his position. this. is it just
1:32 am
totally backfire? because you have a lot of people in the united states just thought republicans would. people who sometimes are very concerned about that. you know that they could never ment, overreaching. they think that donald trump was prosecuted because they, he was perceived as a threat to biden. okay, and let's not forget when obama in epic left, some people don't remember as when a bomb and bite and after they were elected. the 1st thing the justice department did was that they brought a criminal prosecution against john edwards, who was one of the competitors against obama in the primaries or i. so i may have like rest a little bit because on a very excited here. milwaukee. what do you feel? you know, i think the bottom line is week is republicans, we, we believe that these falls, prosecution back are actually energizing. okay. voters for donald trump know you raise a lot of interesting points and we appreciate you staying up to speak to us as well . always good to see you. bruce at live from milwaukee off the r and see venue
1:33 am
bruce marx and i remember tomorrow the steps and that. yeah, one more day thursday. and i'll be here tomorrow night if you want to talk about donald trump's speech, cuz i think it's going to be incredible. all right, we'll touch base with you then at thank you so much i, i think all right, on a busy news day one place where you can keep on top of all the days development as r t dot com. you can leave her a line. this program there, if there is a particular story you'd like to find to check it out when you can goodbye for the the is 2 things we love in this country, its cache and freedom. but anybody that's ever been poor here can tell you that in
1:34 am
america, if you ain't got no cash, you ain't got no freedom. shackle shackle, do a job that explodes, 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 heart. and then 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 bicycle income can't 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 to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship. the freedom to just not have to worry about money every single 2nd of every day. the
1:35 am
plumbing up until literally the last 2 years of my life might have been like one emergency situation away from some plates. financial catastrophe. basically, i just, i live in paycheck to project, 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, but, but i have 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. 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
1:36 am
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 enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that my son couldn't afford to live setting the saving medication he needed for something 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,
1:37 am
there you go. so that's at least a solution cuz 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 agra russell 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 exists, 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 and seems to me is are guaranteed to annual income
1:38 am
a guaranteed minimum income for all people and pro family is about 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 souls 5 when your friends for human dignity that sold by the lights 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, to be an example for the world and the lights, and the lamps goes on a big, strangely proud of it. because as a whole concept of people loaning your resources from 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 dividend to be socialistic. it's capitalistic village screen. okay,
1:39 am
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 site in that 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 sold us government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. the hotel. we went 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 clients that like
1:40 am
you know, all the stuff with mama are getting now strong. now 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 i get affected like literally everything and pray among the ripple effects under den dot see. yeah. i know, you know, that was, i mean, yeah, on the hits just kept on common the i'm saying, i think there will be a lot of people that will say, well i've no, 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 know 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?
1:41 am
presumably they buy stuff or, you know, finally get like the find out fixed on their car or 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 into just sure the general economy because they're going to spend and all the things that they need that they haven't been buying in a long time. cuz i ain't had no 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 sell a paycheck every month? even if you do not have a job. i think it's a continuation towards the road of socialism in america 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 leaves enough force, warren buffet 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.
1:42 am
the next 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 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 worked 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
1:43 am
family right after you for my life. and i knew right at the moment i'm nice to you here forever. and i will get back to school, pay off some dis agency to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me. and i love 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 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 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
1:44 am
their freedom the, the, the blue shirt. um, you know, pretty much getting up verify. getting the middle one dressed and ready taken to the bus. stop a lease by $545.00. do you need them off the school or actually come back to the house? always when she's getting ready, her boss will arrive no later than 6. 55. actually have to rush back home, get the baby ready. so take your to my mom's house is entering the. busy 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
1:45 am
so i think of a lack of sleep is very challenging. i want to at least do to a point in my life where i'm actually working a good paying job. our job is going to make is meet. i want to be able to save and, you know, take trips and do all of the things to so and the 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 thrive. you deserve a life where you can actually dream you deserve a life where you can actual lots of streams 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
1:46 am
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 to nurse, 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 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 kind of 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, in the complication of the systems that they're not wife. and you're just in effect
1:47 am
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 and you are sanctioned, in most cases that means that you will lose your smith for 90 days. that what that means is that for 90 days you have no way of ensuring the insurance household you are to have for take a moment lift the sink in. 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 a need. sorry. okay . and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families, were saying o a family. so i want to know where r o family someone are,
1:48 am
you know, have to take the drug test that 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 state the 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 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
1:49 am
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 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 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
1:50 am
issues and an efficient and judicious manner. rise as joe. now it's in fact is the opposite in our system as well and truly broken. but let's imagine for a 2nd 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 then you were before when you were on government assistance alone. that's called a poverty trap universe. so 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 bails because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with
1:51 am
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 bringing economic vitality to town. so it's one of the, the 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 broader attention to the idea based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics. like maybe the,
1:52 am
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 economy is 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 what. okay,
1:53 am
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 would rather my bills be pays entering the on my fingers, especially as i see it. i don't, i don't want to be rich by any means. i don't want isn't easy to. i just want to be able to pay my bills for my kids. that's all i want to be able to get the last thursday. my husband went to child support court over his oldest daughter, not are 3, but his oldest of this 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 he's being said, it's to 180 days or until his family can come up with 700. about $700.00 in
1:54 am
waterbury. $310.00 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 in 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 able to flourish. and then of course, realize that care shouldn't be put too much more on the center of all conception of it. good to say basic income by being unconditional enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others,
1:55 am
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 to let them keep an eye so that they are incentivized to keep doing the work that they do. we want to reward entrepreneurs and one of our award 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
1:56 am
also has the effect of putting resources in the hands of the people who know best, what to do for their own communities. the . the official running mates ged funds. his name does, donald trump pick for vice president, and his acceptance speech de ohio, send her a promise to hold. i'm dogs for a foreign aid, but stopped short mentioning you create instead. putting the support like directly on china. we will protect the wages of american workers and stop the chinese communist party from building their middle class on the backs of american citizens. now they repeat it like
