8:30 am
got us the screaming glory to quain mol, throwing a red liquid at a politician who has been fully cool about her stance, a wanting to limit german weapons. bloody in key of will put a diplomacy 1st. it was a been deb tops done. have you really own lost your mind, the whole world outside the german political bubble nose, the ukraine is not in a position to win this war. the ukraine has not been winning for a long time, but only dying brutally and bloodedly every day and that the delivery of tourist missiles will not change the situation in any way. the only thing they will change is that jem, and he will definitely become apology to this will in the eyes of russia. the question of security is what you're playing with, say frivolously. and the worst case, even with the lives of millions of people in germany, to come to your senses before it's too late. that's supposed to be
8:31 am
a moment. now the question is fine. how long do we want to keep waiting, and how long do we want to look at exactly this level? excellent. the answer is not in the number of weapons. lots of money is lost on the negotiation situation for ukraine lessons rather than improves in my opinion beyond so it can only be diplomacy on the left wing b. s. w is not alone in this position. as far away on the political spectrum as they can be from one another, their right wing a. if the slogans on the conflict sounds similar, you will cut, you know, it's nice to see. the crane is not the 17 states. it is not ops austic like billions of money, while the ukrainian citizens with big calls the driving across the street. we rejects that day of friends and it's still just the political parties who are tired every day. germans seem to be running out of patience protesting against nato's walrus machine. this reaction is normal, though. it turns out that low wage earners in germany have particularly been hit
8:32 am
hard due to the conflict with soaring prices in the country. and according to economic researchers, this war has cost germany more than 200000000000 euro so far. so the economy and the exhaustion from kids seem to be at the forefront of discussions in the east of the country, especially. and that might be due to the longstanding economic neglect of the region from the western part a. while outside of this news, i do take out on calling some great stories that i will be back in about sending the the is 2 things we love in this
8:33 am
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 shackle, do a job that explored you shackled to a good interest, right? this actually 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 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
8:34 am
plumbing, up until literally the last 2 years of my life lives been like one emergency situation away from complete 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 pales 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 right. 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
8:35 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 free, possess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical that my son couldn't afford to live, sit in 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,
8:36 am
i've heard about the idea of a universal basic income. it was pretty immediately of the opinion. well, 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 i grew up in only wrong. i'm grateful for him, but i kind of 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 idea. in america, you can trace it back to one of our founding fathers, thomas pain. you know, the guy who 1st convince people that american independence might be a good idea. he's not the only one. pardon is, are king junior, was for you? we are one of answers and seems to me is, are guaranteed to annual income,
8:37 am
a guaranteed minimum income of people and pro family is about 1969. richard nixon even proposed an actual plan to congress let us play so for under the income of every family, with children in america. and without those, the meaning souls 5 with no problems for human dignity, that's all like 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, should be an example for the world and the lights. and the last comes out to be extremely proud of that, because as a whole concept of people owning your resources, the government having to take the money back from the people instead of the government getting the money and partially moved out. and socialistic program is exactly the opposite of what some people turn the dividend to be socialistic. it's
8:38 am
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 work, 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 solis government bureaucracy. it's going directly to the people social justice. get with it. the ones that we want 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, it's really, really small. i remember saladas dislikes,
8:39 am
quite little southern town with, you know, some charm to it. and the football team was good child 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 town was economy. it was as big clothing factory where most people worked. and that's for my mom works best for me. i might ever caller to come out there for a long, long time, and then it might 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 worked osh kosh osh kosh that does crush that. and if you heard of us, costco, gosh, or whatever. yeah, for decades the center of the towns economy was large clothing factory and in the mid ninety's, after now i have to it my buckets down at midnight and went south as
8:40 am
a border and we never recovered. there's been no real industry that's come in there and the 20 plus year sense and as far as i'm aware, there's not anything major in that regard on the horizon. so it's aligned, 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. but you think to 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 these they ask us for 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 years you'll have after here i was in business up the street and there was a little wind blowing through town that maybe
8:41 am
a factory was going to be close. and 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, that 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 on the, on the 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 excel or dent up see. yeah. i know, you know, that was, i mean yeah, i was like the, the hits just kept on common the
8:42 am
i'm 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 an a white bring bring the job bag. that's what you need to do politicians, but like, i mean, can you easily envision a lot of people responding to it that way? oh yeah, i can see that. right. well, i think that's going to be a pleasure. the problem. i would love to also see how they respond to that check. right, right. see what they did. right. presumably they buy stuff or, you know, finally get like the fan belt fixed on their car, whatever that i've been putting you on for forever. but i'm saying they're going to go to some mechanic around here to do that. you know what i mean? like see a radically, a big portion of it wouldn't get like pump straight back into just sure the general economy because they're not spending all things that they need, that they haven't been buying in a long time because they didn't have no money to do or the idea of giving unconditional cash might not sit well with everybody. i know that's
8:43 am
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 with the universal base again, come when you're texting people and redistributing well without marriage, that he encourages leasing workforce warren buffett to work hard wood floors. this guy to work hard, not handling them a check. you can not appreciate something fundamentally bitch and get for free the like know, you might this trust. it's providing a guaranteed income to low income african american women and their families. so the
8:44 am
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 of months. i have 2 kids and 2018 and they know you mothers trust is one of the it is taking a population that works so hard to be seen on a daily basis and really saying we see, we honor your stories, we believe in you and we trust that you know what it is that you need for your family. the there will be on us from this point for gay is so support my kids. tell me pay bills and have a note to straight. from month to month. when my mom was in abusive relationships, my dad was very, very small. so when i got this and my relationship model issue was abusive and i
8:45 am
was like, uh when i never ever put my kids in jeopardy. oh. or any relationship that i mean is not working. so you have to break the cycle somewhere. and so this 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. but one night when me on my page this way here, we actually fell asleep on the couch and all seemed that's what was right here. right outside the door to us. yes. but the 1st thing they came to my mind was square up my babies after you for my life and i knew, but at the moment i'm not staying here forever. i will get back in school, pay of some dis agency to raise my credit score so that i can get the home that i
8:46 am
want for me and my little the what is part of the the employee would post that isn't the defense you of us and that in the word part, is it something deep, but more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases desktop, part 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
8:47 am
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, the, the blue shirt. 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 of 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 is entering the. busy turbo tuesday once you get that code and come along sir, come,
8:48 am
let me see, let me see, can i see the reading myself and also being play as a like 720. some like 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 going to make is me. i want to be able to, in saving, you know, take trips and do all of these 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 where 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 is going to help us really,
8:49 am
really like really, really a lot i'm very size about these are not really having too many like rules or just tell you or you right and you have to explain it on or how much she 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 gas and transportation. well, he see that doctor. i see you little too. you can say food stamps and pay like b, 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
8:50 am
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 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 insurance. household you are to have for take a moment list, the sinking and that's also why a lot of individuals choose not to fool with tennis because who can run the risk of not being able to feed their kids a need. sorry. oh,
8:51 am
okay. and instead of recognizing that is the policies that are wrong were blaming the families were saying, o, a family. so 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, a society, they cannot take care of its children, society, they cannot take care of its elders. society that leads people in the coal without
8:52 am
options, cannot call a 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
8:53 am
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 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. the universal basic income, on the other hand, is an unconditional system. you don't have to prove that you deserve anything. you
8:54 am
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 bringing economic vitality to town. so it's one of the 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 broader attention to the idea based income and get the voices of ordinary people rather than just academics like me.
8:55 am
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 selena. that sound good to you. that doesn't sound too good to be true, the
8:56 am
face. how sort of go back? 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 give 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 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 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
8:57 am
good enough that here's the answer to $180.00 days or until family can come up with $700.00, about $700.00, a lot of money to me. $10.00 is a lot of money today. so with hand on, what do you use for christmas? what do you do? have no means of income. no. are here and they're still like, the harder i drive 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 devalued care work as the site and if we think about what really matters to in good society to a society where people liable to flourish,
8:58 am
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 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 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. we want to reward people who take business risks and want to reward people who create jobs for
8:59 am
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, [000:00:00;00]
9:00 am
the, the 9 civilians are wounded including 2 children. no, you classes on the russians to do belgrade apartment building and cause bass while russian and defense is down. a 15018 cleaning drove pod across the board . a pause in the style. those are rented at the most of it is ready, guns falls fly, looks over parts of dogs. it's not an emergency rollout of a new vaccine. probably the 1st case in an input quoted that in 25 years, my sons test result was positive. he was diagnosed with polio the shots, but he got polio during the war, the closure of the crossings and the lack of treatment. all these thoughts ran
