4:30 am
the parties do have in common is their focus on for us. our goal is to market clear break from emanuel microns policies to address people's immediate needs and set our country on a vitally important environmental path. and even within team that calls, they're now realizing that there's a real disconnect between the leads, running the country on one hand and the everyday realities of the people that they're supposed to be serving on the other. so what we're starting to see now is some of these folks self serving we scrambling for life graphs. for instance, here is his interior minister. do you need to fix this issue? the elite has the seated, the people who, who no longer live among the people for me, i don't need a survey or an excel table to see the difficulties of the people there. can you hear me far back home prime minister, a la city projected out of the prime ministers job during the cubic price as in july of 2020 didn't minutes words about where he figures the responsibility lies. please don't know if you, because he was the president of the republic who killed the presidential majority. he dissolved at one point that established with supporters routinely bring up is
4:31 am
how wireless the anti establishment parties govern without any natural allies, as his power hasn't always attracted toward the opportunity? i still think there'll be a problem there. seems that the bigger question, though, is how many mac whole allies will be left on the team. after all, the dust settles on the selection that could very well end up going down in history as an entirely avoidable unforced error of his own making. all right, do so with our to international i'll be back with lunch for news in less than 30 minutes down by the the
4:32 am
most people i know they laser 8 hour job and go home and relax. but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep summer clothes changed for the 1st time. go to the 2nd and it just keeps and keeps me from want to go home. what's the book about this town? oh, well, it is free to shoot you a piece of mailbox. it was, it was um, ish. oh yeah. i have listen to some of that one with you of the needs you didn't have to maybe work as hard to get by you did. uh maybe spend more time with your loved ones while you still have them margaret, this is my grandpas sister. she came off
4:33 am
a horse in a curve and i found her on the bank and over. here's my grand great grandmother and great grandfather. here it's peaceful. i really like it up here. and then since my family's buried here, how this feel like, i need to come up here and take care of the cemetery. the i disliked volunteer and do things for my community in try to make a difference. the no one ever dies and says, and i wish i had a better job, they say i wish i had more time to spend with my family. i wish i could have explored some of my interest of music or ard, or church, or being a baseball coach. and so i just think we're at a moment where we're going to have machines and artificial intelligence produce
4:34 am
a lot of things much more cheaply than we've ever seen before. we're going to have the potential for abundance. and when we have abundance, what we should do is give people the chance to live out their dreams, whatever they are. and that's the gift of this moment. if we don't turn into the 100 is we already spend billions of dollars every year in this country to try to address poverty and economic insecurity. what do we get for that money? we get 50 percent of americans living paycheck to paycheck. 50 percent of americans who have little or no savings in the banks to tie them over if they encounter a serious illness. 50 percent americans don't have that kind of savings to get them over that kind of an offense of the come on in the house here it is what it is, but i'm happy here. must rocks very much of over. i seriously
4:35 am
thought i was the help this person ever i all study just feel like someone helped me and my spine with an x and my blood pressure was 380 over 200 is 60 and then they finally came in and decided that i've had a already dissection there's 3 lines to your a order which fees all your body with blood. and mine was ripping apart both by the force of the blood. which means i have to my blood pressure down very, very low. because because to hide, it will rupture in use dead where we're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with a potentially fatal health issue. there's just so much stress, you know, uh on the financial end of it because you're getting these phone calls every day
4:36 am
and, and every attorney i would call it was like a $11200.00 just to file bankruptcy. and i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to file for bankruptcy, you know, of my, um, cardiovascular specialist, their vendor bill, he wrote on my medical records, they said, look, this guy does not need to wait for his disability. he needs it. now, and i still had to wait 15 months, you know, if it hadn't been for a family and some friends, i don't know what i would have done. i really don't because i mean, i, i had no money. and, you know, i had to, i had to eat the look at someone like you can look at me right now. perhaps and, and maybe think of it perfectly healthy,
4:37 am
but you don't know what's going on inside someone's by the way. we spend another trillion dollars on spend other trillion dollars on tax cuts for wealthy people. do you see the effects of wealthy people spending those tax cuts that we give them? and so i know, or do you think that instead of economic activity always coming from the top and trickling down, that economic activity might actually be kind of thing, the bubbles up from the ground right with, if everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has money to spend, then economic activity will spiral up, or it's going to community like so on the left for the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started work for 2070.
4:38 am
the reason that i'm here back in savannah is because uh, i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are uh, 11 and it's hands so full time saying i leave here and go home and start getting ready for them to get home from school. and then of course, we have to have supper and if their homework gets their bass and it's bedtime and ready to start all over. they've been through a lot of debate as small as they are the same things the hard things. and the child should, you know, drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has showed minded the world. 6 6 so smart enough we can do whatever to buy sooner at one and a half. works hard is that you just don't. well, all of us live in
4:39 am
a basement impact. i gave up the best job i ever had my life when i came back to take care of girls in that it was either that or let them go into states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back out and i need is there what you have today? you know, so the there you go. i do think about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and they have to drive 30 to 45 minutes to look for the nearest place with the flu because we really would like to stay in the town come alive again, like i said,
4:40 am
we just need more people that are willing to invest in the community. if we give everybody any, you know, everybody has something to spend and they can spend it in, in each other's businesses. and that creates an upward spiral of economic activity that can revitalize the small town likes lineup. and if i can make the analogy to afford team, if you think about the game monopoly time to go around the horn and costs go, you get another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03, telling you pasco, and monopoly. the game would be over and about 3 terms. see that $200.00 you get for passing. go with monopoly. that's universal, basic income. there no matter what, it's unconditional. you know it's come, you're getting it, whether you're winning or you lose. and if you're losing, it can give you a chance you can give you hope that maybe just maybe you can still pull this off
4:41 am
the, our representatives in the legislatures congress. they know the investments pay off . right? they know that, for example, $1000000.00 investments in the fish hatchery until hollow pays off in multiples of that amount, every year in the tourism that it brings into this community. a lot of people actually travel here just to fish and buy them, come and do slide. i'll just to fish and say, i have to buy groceries here at the bar fusion lives and had to buy gas. you know, they, they stimulate the economy, you know, quite a bit the right, this is why our representatives fight for money in washington to bring back to our communities. because they know that these investments can have multiplier effects that bring in much more than the costs of those programs. it goes straight up the
4:42 am
river just didn't offer. just got a crown. did you the infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business for basic income is like infrastructure spending for families by the last families to to pay for the infrastructure that they need. whether it's child care or whether it's housing, whether it's food closing, for a car that works for medical expenses. these are all infrastructure investments as well in the productive power of our people and our families in our communities. finally, my wife came up this money and got yeah, it was hard on i can't imagine what she had to go through the i hated to put her in that predicament. now i would never had to put her in that project. me again. if i
4:43 am
can, can help it. but like i said, as long as hard to get work is hard to pay, you know, if you can get the money to pay, it scares me that and any day. or if i know if i don't pay it after so, and they're gonna come get indicted anyways. my family and are you working right now? i'm signing off and on working roads and it's hard on me course. i'm notice you guys knows my is the, it's hard on me because i retain fluid and stuff but i get it done and i, when i have to because my kids, you know, we try to go to a doctors office and they wouldn't accept him because they don't have insurance, and then that goes all the way back to the money saying no money. so because you don't got no money, we don't care about your health. we don't care what's going on with you. we're not going to tell you good by. of the save days, all turn him down and he didn't show it to you guys,
4:44 am
but when he slid down the hill over there to to catch land and that heard him a got in was a 1000 dollars a month. so p o a. i mean it would god, oh mine. okay them, i can't imagine what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better. we wouldn't argue as much is allowed as our valid and the and then i'm out the table. ok. maybe there we go for the
4:45 am
the the the,
4:46 am
[000:00:00;00] the
4:47 am
we have 2 choices when we design programs for the poor and for people who are struggling, we can say you need to prove to me 1st that you're worthy of my health. and then i'll help you. ready more we can treat people the way we treat our families. our children are neighbors and say, we're going to help you 1st because we have face and you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that health. and that's what it basic income does. um, just a couple of different things. the pre suppositions is that there is a, a belief of inherent good as that was and people there is a common belief and understanding that most people are basically good. i believe in that the we say that you have to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern. so you know, some people don't have bootstraps to pull up. some people don't have hands to
4:48 am
coleman and some people don't have feet to put them on the to be a person. no matter what was specific is or what other felicia as they are or where they are not jesus, be good enough for us to the what's interesting to me talking to people about basic income, especially people that wouldn't benefit from it is they're often resistant to the idea and often the resistance takes the form of, you know, some other people will be lazy, some other people will use it for drugs. some other people misuse that in some way,
4:49 am
some other people choose not to work. so do you think some of these people in the view will money they wouldn't turn into uh, dope a couch, potatoes, of course, and while we are name. mm hm. but when i asked people, what would you do? right. no one has ever said to me like, oh, i'll sit on the couch and buy some drugs and some alcohol and be lazy. but i look at it this way. if i'm growing a garden and my family go out there that with national guard and we work hard on that. so you're saying i should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road and it will work so hard. come in here and get part of my garden. how is that right? for us? just kind of resistance is almost a question of human nature. you know, how do people think about other people beyond their own family and friends? do they trust them or do they not trust them? and they think that's that's what we kind of have to talk about. and that's where actually pilots are very useful because we have a little bit of them. and we have actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying,
4:50 am
well actually most people act like you and your friends in your family, basic income pilots have been done all over the world. and generally, they do not find that people misuse the cash or stop working when they receive it. in 2019 the mayor of stockton, california launch the 19 month program where they gave $500.00 a month. no strings attached to a $125.00 residents and made less than the cities annual median income. one of those recipients spend the money on surprise, groceries paying bills, you know, the same things you and your family would probably spend the money onto the . so we are within the last 30 days of the pilot project in his 1st year with the 20 women that we worked with, we have seen them do everything from pay off credit torrie debt. go back to school,
4:51 am
get veterans claimant opportunities. so like they're more engaged parents, re establish relationships, really just have an opportunity to show up and we have their full lives. and that's the beauty and the power can i use the for so maybe things stay and on top of paying the bills, the household things i'm saving to like take the baby to glaze so you know, they, you know, you can't really just really have the baby is closed, so um, daycare. allow them to be somewhere where you can also not, not just be watched, but i also learn the me. i was able to go ahead and enrolled him in daycare in the, in just focused on school. i saw him in las vegas, the military and medical building the coding. as i finish that semester, i made the dean's list, there was very exciting gamma g
4:52 am
b i graduated in june. i was very excited about that and because it was really one of the things that he cannot hinder me from getting a job, basically when the job receiving a $1000.00 a month, even though it is a blessing, it's not enough to sustain yourself or your family so individuals took this for what it was an opportunity to get a leg up an opportunity to put in place a plan for themselves and their families. so no one quit working individuals went and got better career opportunities individually that the school individual paid off that individuals able to show up in their own lives compose valentine's day. it was uh, his name's diety. you can make them with the keys. 6 much warm the baby was way to got married had a we in how about tomorrow and i get up there on this line. oh my god, i have to do something to 2 years ago the road i got a row and i looked up
4:53 am
a blue table. he crying hard and ever worn down. it was excited. yeah, she saw her to be she started. that's the ripple of time. tom actually was on that and i was looking at so far, so he's out. they also want our relationship goals and to explain why, you know, my mom got sick and you know, she needed a lot or she got the medicine inquiry. she here with the beer, she'll with key. so now her being down, you know, just to return a favor just to be like mom, we're for you just like you was here for me. even though it is a guaranteed income pilot, and there are other guaranteed income pilots currently being conducted. ours is the only one working with extremely low income families. so families who have various subsidies that they are dependent upon. and even though individuals had a decrease in benefits, they still say that they are glad that they received the cash because the cash
4:54 am
allowed the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't about share or a subsidy dedicated to one particular bank. or most importantly, we do like a family model, a movie, we were able to celebrate the we thought holidays and just count by actually being able to get together. i have a family that helps so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in bees ministration. i met some great people with bright things say, well let me know when cost a breeze to come talk to him. so i'm very excited about the notes just so people you know,
4:55 am
and looking out for you just see that you're trying to do something, you know, change your life, easy generations. there are waiting like come on and we had to use that i think is gonna happen when the program ends. you know, i believe that we spent a lot of time thinking about what happens when something in and to me that's a clarify and i'm not trusting individuals that if i am going to say that i trust you enough to give you money and know that you are going to do what you and your family need. i have to say that i trust you enough to have put a plan in place for when is money and stuff. so i believe that individuals are going to continue to do whatever they need to do to take care of themselves and their on the, in the end, people want to be productive. they want to have a better tomorrow than they have today. and if you give people a stable,
4:56 am
durable source of income that they can count on, then most people will invest that money in ways that are best for them. as we live in a moment of change, it's going to happen. driverless cars are going to arrive and artificial intelligence is going to improve progress though, in terms of people and whether they're better or worse off. that is optional. this is a moment to leave. this is a moment for debate because the future of our families and our children is realistic. cash to me it's freedom and it is bringing. it gives you options that without and you do not have cash allows them the freedom to actually make the decisions to determine what it is that they need for themselves. you know, right now i'm an academic, let's say for some reason academia doesn't work out. and i need to take a couple of years to get some training or to switch careers. or let's say i have a parent that really needs my help. i can instantly fall back on that universal
4:57 am
basic income and not pitch. so it's something i really want for, you know, the disadvantaged people in this country, but it's something i also really want for myself. and i think that's how you create really powerful political movements. take this opportunity and see that we do not have unlimited time. and so my ask for you all to night is free to take this new vision of the economy. this trickle up economy, this human centered economy, this vision and make it yours. i don't, no doubt picked up on it or not, but right now, things are less than ideal for a huge number of people in this country. people are being let go from jobs that are never going to come back rakitin. medical bills are never going to be able to pay, you know, by the way, a global freaking contagion level pandemic. hard to feel very good about site traffic. but don't you think you'd feel a little better if you had slightly more assurance that you and your family were going to be ok? we really believe in the land of the free lunch act, like it's
4:58 am
a slip that john economic boot off of people's next. let's give everyone a piece of the get all american pass so that no one has to start from nothing. that's freedom. that's you. but yeah,
4:59 am
think about the as we are in the rest of the southern region of us are hon. where's the mighty vulgar flows into the caspian sea forming of the largest as to where in continental europe, which means it's
5:00 am
a great place to learn about the your wider. i've never seen anybody like this guy. you're the sucker. you're. those are what this man has done is absolutely criminal. the highly anticipated debate between donald trump and joe biden turns into a name calling match with both candidates, hurling insults at each other. panic level, particularly among elected democrats, who have to share the pallet with him. there is a full, i'm panicked and i was a game changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a d, a y, in a very aggressive panic in the democratic party. biden's for performance tribes, democrats into a panic with mainstream media. now questioning
