so in disarray and trouble, little supreme within the g o. p. the debates and the shooting changed everything the 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 my clothes, change my clothes, 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 where it is finishing up to a piece of mailbox? it was, it was um, oh yeah, i have listened 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. why you still have them margaret. this is 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 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 secretary. 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, 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 insecurity. what do we get for that money? we got 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 . the i was the health is person ever i also they 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 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 and use that wherever 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? i can't afford to offer 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 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 feel what we spend another 2 trillion dollars on. spend another 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 like so on the 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 savannah is because uh, i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10 and it's a full time saying i live here and go home, 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 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 phrase the world. 6 smarter live so you can do whatever to buy sooner at one and a half. works hard is that you're just doing well. all of us live in the basement. in fact, 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 to say what you have today, you know, so the or 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. it's like i said, we just need more people that are willing to invest in the community. if we give everybody money, you know, as 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 lajna. and if i can make the analogy to afford team, if you think about the game monopoly time to go around the board, the costco, 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 on conditional, 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 could still pull this off the, our representatives in the legislatures congress. they know the investments pay off . right? they know that, for example, a $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 all here just to face and buy them, come and do so out. just to finish and say, i have to buy groceries here. have to buy fusion license. i have to buy gas, you know, they say stimuli to 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 cost of those programs and go straight out to the river just did the job offer just got a crown infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business for basic income is like infrastructure spending for families, right, and less families to, to, to pay for the infrastructure that they need, whether it's child care or whether it's housing, whether it's food closing, or 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 and i would never have to put her in that project. me again. if i can, can help it. but like i said, as long as hard to get work, it's 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 won't come get indictment away from my family and 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. i, when i have to because my kids, you know, we try to go to

a doctors office. 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 that heard him a got in with the $1000.00 and then help you and i mean it would god oh mine. okay. them back at magine, what it would do for my family name, my wife would live better. we wouldn't argue as much is allowed as our valid and the and then

i'm in town to people. okay. movie then we go for the a hi, i'm executive and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do, do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do the have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed

and whatever you do, don't want my shell stay main street because i'm probably going to make you. i'm comfortable, my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way the way not. right? so see what's printing, what was the route that was there? so sounds good. just so basically of course we need, your last name was needed, read it was can, will be used for that . and you mentioned we have some more by us or someone who is this,

we would show new people to the the the 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 space in you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that help. and that's what the basic income does.

um, just a couple of different things. um the pre suppositions is that there is a, a belief of inherent good as 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, some people don't have bootstraps to pull up. some people don't have hands to coleman and some people don't have feet to put them on the person. no matter what was specific is or what other felicia's than that we

are not to 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, some other people will be lazy, some other people will use it for drugs. some other people misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. don't you think some of these people in the view will money they wouldn't turn into uh dope a couch potato is worse 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, what there have

a nice garden. we work hard on that, so you're saying i should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road and you know, work so hard. come in there 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 and i, we have actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, 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 launched and 19 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 this 1st year with the 20 women that we worked with, we have seen them do everything from pay off predatory debt. go back to school, get veterans point 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 and the power. can i use the for so maybe things staying on top of paying the bills, even 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 close though. um, daycare. allow them to be somewhere where you can also not, not just be watched, but i also learned the me. i was able to go ahead and uh, enrolled him in daycare in the end is focused on school, some las vegas, the meals, 3 and medical billing. they are coding as i finish that semester. i made things lease that was very exciting, gamma g b i graduated in june. i was very excited about that and because 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. because valentine's day it was uh, his name's diety. you can make them with the keys 6 months from the baby miles went ahead and got married. had a we in. 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 a blue table. he quiet hard and ever worn saturday or it was excited. yeah, she started the, she started the, the ripple trying or his mom actually was on that and those will cancel services out. they also want our relations closer to, you know, my mom got sick and you know, she needed

a lot or she got the medicine and she helped with the b o. c, a with the kids. so now her being down, you know, just to return the favor just to be like mom here for you just like he was here for me. even though it is a guaranteed income pilot in 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 allowed and 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 bowling booby. we were able to celebrate a lot they,

we holidays and just count prior to actually being able to get together as a 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. great, great things. very well. let me know when cost a breeze to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about the 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 the program ends you know, i believe that we spent a lot of time thinking about what happens when something ins. 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 and 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 lead. 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's bringing it gives you options that without and you do not have cash will ask 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 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. people 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 site traffic. 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 okay. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act like it was slip that giant 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 you be. i think about the

of the, the syrians, the beginning of its history, the united states of america has officially declared this driving for freedom and people's rights to happiness. however, in reality, having won independence, american colon is tested for the total extermination of the indigenous population of the content in american indians were deprived of their land. local residents were driven into reservations given the worst agricultural territories,

while the best land was appropriated by white colonizers, the strongest blow to american indian tribes was the extermination of devices. native americans lived by hunting these wild animals. colonists slaughtered the bivens and in fact, made them nearly extinct. every buffalo dead is in india and gone, said colonel richard dogs, a veteran of the bloody and vicious indian wars cynically. the indigenous population was simply exterminated us army general phillips sheridan express the evidence of this policy in the infamous words. the only good india is a dead indian. the genocide of native americans of north america lead to a demographic catastrophe. the exact number of deaths is still unknown, but the number of victims is in millions. having been a majority on the continent before the indigenous people make up less than 3

percent of the us population today. the, the, the grief stricken father holds the body on his bed. just one of 25 reported victims from the lynx. is this really a tug on a refugee camp in central gals that will go say, american bottoms? where use in this for the missiles that failed here just a short while ago. the gaza strip and are, are not a testing field for international arms company. police kill a knife wielding mom near a venue where donald trump is attending the republican national convention. bouts of the bank ranges over who's responsible for the security.
