5:31 am
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 universe of isaac income can give you afraid of lots of free freedom to go back to school, to learn new skills, freedom to take care of and aging parents. the freedom to start a small business, the freedom to leave an abusive relationship, the freedom to just not have to worry about money. every single 2nd of every day. the bombing up until literally 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,
5:32 am
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. what's a try, crowder long time, no scheme. i want to talk to you about something is deeply personal to my pales lot . people asked me what i like about black live 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 at college, but 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, it's extremely stressful. and i know for a fact just statistically 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
5:33 am
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 the life 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. a couple, a student loan debt in the united states has doubled 40 percent of americans. 65 and older are in default. that's always going to be there for me. personally, i've heard about the idea of the universal basic income and was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, there you go. that's at least a solution because we're 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 our best to you, but it could be
5:34 am
a potential improvement over some of our existing welfare programs that i grew up in only wrong. i'm grateful for him. but i kinda look back on those programs and food stamps and all of that the same way that i look back on the final season, a game of thrones. i'm still glad that it exists, but it could have and should have been so much better. we deserve better. you be, i is actually not a new idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas paint, you know, the guy who 1st convinced people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. martin luther king junior was for you. we are one of answers. it seems to me as a guarantee to annual income, a guaranteed minimum income of people and pro family 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,
5:35 am
the meanings souls 5 with no friends for human dignity that sol bite the lives a welfare of welfare children the day once started in america actually already has a form of basic income, alaska. each year they take a portion of the states oil revenue and distributed to every man, woman and child. to be an example for the world, the lights and the lamps comes out to be extremely proud of it 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, 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
5:36 am
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 clients, little southern town with you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good at the town square was, you know, just little mom and pop businesses, a store for us, that type of thing. and everything was fine. but at the beating heart of the towns economy,
5:37 am
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'm i tubs. my dad, he was, he was the head engineer, and my mom, she actually so every body and so on, that you talked to this work osh kosh, osh kosh, that it does cost 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 night it made like a stoner at midnight and went south of the border. and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there in the 20 plus year. sense and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon so, so on the, in my opinion is like
5:38 am
a textbook example of the top place that would benefit a lot from a basic income. and that also from the sensible you types of people, there would be all for it with, but i don't know that that is true. the, there it is saying that the crime used to be honest, gospel gosh factories. 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 you 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 stopped 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 may bump on that or run in the video store and the car lot. and that by the time i graduated high school,
5:39 am
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 a strong out. i'm going to jail my, my life changed tremendously for the worse. just like everybody else is around here . when that happens, you know, and like it affected like literally everything and pretty much the ripple effects other than that 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, well i've no, i mean i don't want to 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't you easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way? oh yeah, i can see that. right. well,
5:40 am
i think that's going to be the problem. i would love to also see how they respond it. right, right. see what they did, right. presumably they biased or, you know, finally get like the find out fixed on their car, whatever that i've been putting in for forever. but i'm saying they're going to go to some mechanic around here to do that. you know what i mean? like fear, radically, a big portion of it would get like pump straight back in to just sure 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. i is, it is the idea of giving unconditional cash may not sit well with everybody. i know that's a shock or how does this out 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 basically come when you're taxing people and redistributing wealth without marriage,
5:41 am
that is encourages losing that source warren buffett to work hard workforce 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 must 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
5:42 am
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 on tremendous break. forgives. so support my kids, tell me pay bills and hello notes. a straight from month to month when my mom was in abusive relationships i. it was very, very small. so when i got into my relationship model issue was abusive and i was like, when never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh. or 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 a, hey, well,
5:43 am
i like that means i don't know, i just won't go crazy. for one night when me and my baby. so here we actually fell asleep on the couch. and oh, same bus was right here, right outside the door to us. yes. the 1st day and they came to my mind square, my baby after you for my life and i knew. but at the moment i'm nice to you here forever. and i will get back is to pay off some dish i. since i need to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i want for me and my love,
5:44 am
the water is part of the, the is it the poly would posted isn't the deepest view of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present. let's stop without cases. let's go out of as they are probably her, my little store. okay. the model girl that i got you. no problem seem to them out of the know nothing 30 minutes us out in the drive i showed my brother through. he was sudden to help people for
5:45 am
a lo so now i never looked at searches as being saved. well i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of chicago police. it'd be gang of chicago is like, you'd be a photo of that police. you lose your life as another crime. say another this could have been a doctor. a 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 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
5:46 am
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, the blue shirt. um yeah, pretty much getting up. verify. getting the middle ones or is there variety sections of the bus stop a least by 545. do you need them off the school or actually coming back from the house? oh, this one she's getting ready? probably this will arrive no later than 655, actually having to re is back home, get the baby ready to take him. so my mom's house is entering. 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 be in place
5:47 am
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 meet. i want to be able to is saving, you know, take trips and do all of the things too. so in a reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it 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 strings. this is going to help us really,
5:48 am
really like really, really a lot. i'm very size about these are not really have too many like rules or just tell you what are you at and you have to spend it on or how much she have to say. let me say to nurse when i was on tanf, disability 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 kind of exciting. i think most of america believes that our systems work 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
5:49 am
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 and 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 the church household. you are to have for take a moment list this thinking 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 be their kids the need, sorry. oh,
5:50 am
okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families, were saying, o a family. so i'm one of the work, or o family, someone or 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 guarantee 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 of society. they cannot take care of its children, society. they cannot take care of its elders, society,
5:51 am
that leaves people in the coal without options cannot call the self civil 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 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,
5:52 am
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. oh yeah, yeah, this is joe. now it's in fact is the opposite and our system is 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 tramp. 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
5:53 am
between working a job and actually being able to afford your bales because under you be i, everyone will always be better off with a job you be. i can be an economic slower on which we all can stay at the 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 am 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 towns likes. one of the rate is people really understood with the basic income is i think would 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.
5:54 am
the, the simplest way that i can explain a basic income is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. i think if we get these details right, basic income can eliminate poverty. to 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
5:55 am
face. how would i go by? exactly what happened. 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 get that back. that would rather my bills be pays entering beyond my senior, 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 money 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 power 3, but his oldest or this one age of 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 is being said,
5:56 am
it's to $180.00 days or until february can come up with $700.00 about $700.00 and a lot of money to be $10.00 is a lot of money to do. so with hand on, what do you use communicate for christmas? what do you do? have no means of income. no. the soonest, the harder i tried for my kids to be normal for further and i 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 liable to flourish. and then of course, realize that care shouldn't be put too much more on the center of the conception of
5:57 am
it. good to say basic income by being unconditional enables people to make the choice to spend more time caring for others. the why will 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, they're the ones we're doing well. the, 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 and wanna award people who take business risks and want to reward people who create jobs for other americans. but we take some of their,
5:58 am
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 as western leaders recklessly talked, of escalating the conflict, a new frame. european voters has sent the exact opposite message pro war and meets are clearly out of step with voters. and they've been punished for
5:59 am
the, [000:00:00;00] the high acceptance. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show it seriously. why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome, but please do have the state department, the c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead,
6:00 am
change and whatever you do. don't marshall stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think . the telegram breaks its silence on the arrest of seo pablo drove in from the company. say it's not blaming the funder for any appears is found on the platform, is absurd. the protests erupt in burkina faso against ukraine's assistance militant groups in west africa. and also add assignments is truly theory here in blue school, but this is the very city center, pretty much a few frames per se incursion. brian's to a full authority visits,
