First results from a universal basic income (UBI) study in Stockton, California, shows that free money makes people happy, and that they spend most of it on basic needs like food and utilities, rather than on drugs, alcohol or gambling. Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs wants his $500 per month stipend experiment done statewide. Do these early results in a small-scale study bolster Democrat presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s White House run as he campaigns on a nationwide $1000 per month UBI plan? More from Bill Whittle and Scott Ott.

Elsewhere among Democratic Presidential hopefuls, we see the breakout of a common Liberal affliction: Leftists eating their own. Here, the South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg rips into U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke over stripping churches of their tax-exempt status. Sen. Elizabeth Warren also defended these churches. Wonder if Warren and Buttigieg coud be a 2020 ticket? More from Ovation Eddie.
We close with Mark Dice’s latest video, The Circus Returns to Town, focusing on this week’s Democratic debate in Ohio. Billionaire donor Tom Steyer appeared for the first time in the debate cycle — he bought his way on stage. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, joined Edward Yang in pushing universal guaranteed income, i.e., free money. Yes, we all love free money!
