10:30 am
then be defining you are lying, says he doesn't mean that those countries are going to align completely with the other side, which is a multi point to what all i would say. rochelle china. what they want to do is to to be able to choose what, which positives of the best for their own interest. but you, thanks for joining us, a, on all to international. we always appreciate your company with back in 30 minutes with more of the latest. see you then the most people i know they laser 8 hour job and go home and relax the i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep my clothes, change my clothes,
10:31 am
the 1st job, go to the 2nd and this keeps and keeps me from wanting 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 listened to some of that one with you. of the use 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 was my grandpa sister. she came off a horse in a curve and i found her on the bank and over. here's my grand great grandmother and
10:32 am
great grandfather here it's pays full. i really lock it up here. and then since my family's buried here, i just 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've 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 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,
10:33 am
whatever they are. and that's the gift of this moment. if we don't turn it into the 100 is we already spend billions of dollars every year in this country to try to address poverty and economic and security. 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 to come on in the house here. it is what it is, but i'm happy here. must rocks very much of over. i seriously thought i was the help this person ever. i also just feel like someone helped me
10:34 am
and my spine with an x and my blood pressure was 380 over 260. and then they finally came in and decided that i've had a order 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 if it gets too high, it will rupture in your use dead where you'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 and, and every attorney i would call it was like a $11200.00 just to file bankruptcy. and i'm thinking, or you know, am i so broke?
10:35 am
i can't afford to file for bankruptcy. you know, of my um, cardiovascular specialist or 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 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 a perfectly healthy, but you don't know what's going on inside someone's by the
10:36 am
feel what we spend another 2 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 upwards and community likes the one left in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started work for 2070 the reason that i'm here back in. so i is because uh i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are uh, 11 and 10 and its a full time thing. i live here and go home,
10:37 am
start getting ready for them to get home from school and then your course we have to have supper. and if their homework gets their bass and it's bad time and ready to start all over again. they've been through a lot of debate as small as they are. and same thing, the 3rd things and that 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 so smart, it literally can do whatever to the 1st one i want him to have works hard is that you just don't? well, all of us live in the basement and packed. i gave up the best job i ever had in 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
10:38 am
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 or 45 minutes to foot for the nearest place, the flu because we really would like to stay in the town. come alive again, like i said, we just need more people that are willing to invest in the community. if we give everybody money, you know, everybody has something to spend and they can spend it in,
10:39 am
in each other's businesses. and that creates an upward spiral of economic activity that can revitalize the small town likes lajna. if i can make the analogy to afford team, if you think about the game monopoly time and go around the board, the costco, 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 turns. 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. and so you can give you hope that maybe just maybe you can still pull this off the, our representatives in the legislatures congress, they know the investments pay off, right?
10:40 am
they know that, for example, $1000000.00 investments in the fish hatchery at the 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 a lot of just to fish and say, i have to buy groceries here at the buy fusion lives and had to buy gas. you know, it. busy they stimulate the economy, you know quite a bit the right, this is why our representatives fight for money, washington to bring back to our communities because they know that these investments can have multiplier effects that bring in much more than the cost of those programs. it goes straight up the river just in the job offers has got a unit
10:41 am
infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business. all basic income is like infrastructure spending for families, for the less 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 to have the pleasure in that predicament. and i would never have to put her in that project. me again. if i back and help it, but like i said, as long as hard to get work is harder pay, you know, if you can get the money to pay, it scares me that the on any day. or if i know if i don't buy it
10:42 am
after. so, and they won't come get me away from my family again. are you working right now? i'm signing off and on working roof 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 cause 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 they but they've all turned him down. and he didn't show it to you guys, but when he slid down the hill over there to to catch land and now i heard him a got in with the $1000.00
10:43 am
10:44 am
10:45 am
10:46 am
way up to 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 in you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that help. and that's what it basic income does. i just a couple of different things. the pre suppositions is that there is a, a belief of inherent good that was in people. there's a common belief in understanding that most people are basically good. i believe in that the we say that you ought to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern. so you know,
10:47 am
some people don't have boot straps to pull up. some people don't have hands to open . so some people don't have feet to put them on the specific is or what your other police system that we are not jesus be good enough for us to the what's interesting to me talking to people about basic income, especially people that would benefit from it is they're often resistant to the idea, and often the resistance takes the form of, you know,
10:48 am
some other people will be lazy, some other people will use it for drugs. some other people will misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work to do you think some of these people, if you've gabriel money, they wouldn't turn into a dope. a couch potato is of course. and while we are name. mm hm. but when i ask people, well, 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. so i'm looking at this way. if i'm girl in a garden, in my family, go out there, have a nice garden, we'd 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 there and get part of my garden. how is that right? for us a just kind of or is this 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
10:49 am
actually pilots are very useful because we have a little bit of them. and we have actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well actually most people act like you and your friends and 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 launched an 18 month program where they gave $500.00 a month, no strings attached to a $125.00 residence and made less than the cities annual median income. one of those recipients spent 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,
10:50 am
get veterans appointment opportunities to like be or 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 in the power path. i use the for so maybe things staying 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 and then just focused on school . i saw him in las vegas, the military and medical bill in the coding. as i finish that semester. i made the
10:51 am
dean's list, there was a very exciting gama g b. i graduated in june. i was very excited about that and that's as it was really, one of the things that he counter handed me from you know, job basically when the job receiving a $1000.00 a month, even though it is a blessing, is 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, individuals, and that the school individual paid off that individuals able to show up in their own lives and controls. valentine's day it was, his name's diety, you can make them with the keys 6 months along with the baby miles went ahead and got married had a we. c and i get up there with this line. oh my god, i have to do something to 2 years ago the road i got a row and i looked up
10:52 am
a blue table. he crying hard and ever worn saturday or it was excited. yeah, she started the, she started the, the ripple trying a mom actually was on that and those will cancel services out. they also want our relation to the, you know, my mom got sick and you know, she needed a lot or she got mad as being a queen. she here with the b o she a with key. so now her being down, you know, just to return the favor just to be like mom, we're for you just like he 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
10:53 am
a decrease in benefits, they still say that they are glad that they received the cash because the cash allowed the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't about share or subsidy dedicated to one particular thing. the most importantly we do like the family model, a movie, we were able to celebrate a lot they we holidays and just count actually being able to get together in the family have 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 to say let me know when cost a breeze to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about the
10:54 am
notes just so people you know, and looking out for you just see that you're trying to do something, you know, change your life, easy generations. then they are waiting like come on a and we had to use that i think is gonna happen when you know, i believe that we spent a lot of time thinking about what happens when something ins. and to me that's a clarifying. 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,
10:55 am
then they have to day. and if you give people a stable, 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 is freedom and it is bringing. it gives you options that without and you do not have a casual, asked 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 home. i can instantly fall back on that universal
10:56 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 for you 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 know, got picked up on it or not, but right now things are less than ideal for a huge number of people in this country able are being let go from jobs that are never going to come back racking 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 say, trust me. don't you think you'd feel a little better if you had slightly more assurance that you and your family were
