Should Americans Get Free Monthly Checks?

Tonight’s episode of the Inner Circle Podcast delivered an epic debate as Ms. B and I went head-to-head on one of the most controversial economic ideas of our time—universal basic income.Ms. B made the case for guaranteed income as a necessary support system, pointing to pilot programs across dozens of U.S. cities and arguing that many working families—especially those employed by large corporations—still rely on government assistance to survive.On the other side, I pushed back hard—questioning the long-term impact of no-strings-attached cash, challenging the narrative that AI will replace white-collar jobs, and defending capitalism as a system that rewards ambition and success. I also addressed the growing sentiment around wealth, arguing that success should not be vilified.From corporate responsibility and wages to government support, AI fears, and the future of work—this was a powerful, unfiltered, and thought-provoking conversation.An engaging and highly relevant debate you don’t want to miss.Inner Circle Podcast — Amplify.
