very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very difficult time. time to sit down and talk. mm mm hm. most people, i know they laid their 8 hour job and go home and relax, but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep them close. change my clothes, the 1st job. go to the 2nd and it just keeps it keeps me from. want to go home. oh, what's the book about this town? well, it is foolish. you have to repeat the mailbox. it was. it was amish. ah,

yeah. i'm i have listen to some of that one with you. ah, if you didn't have to, maybe work is hard to get by. you could maybe spend more time with your loved ones . why? you still have them margaret, this is my grandpa sister. she ah came off a horse i in a curve. i found her on a bank and overhears my grand great grandmother and great grandfather. here it's peaceful. i really like it up here and hen since my family's buried here. how does feel like i need to come up here and take care of the same material? mm hm. i disliked volunteer and i do thanks for

my community in try to make a difference. no one ever dies and says, and i wish i had a better job. they say i wish had more time to spend with my family. i wish i could have explored some of my interests 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 into the hackers, we already spend millions 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 bank 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 events. come on in the house. here it is. what it is, but i'm happy here much the rocks, larry metric over i seriously thought i was the help this person ever. i all sudden, i just feel like someone hit me and my spine with an axe and my blood pressure was 380 over 260. and then they finally came in and decided that i 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 my blood pressure down very, very low. because it gets too high. if a rupture in you just dead where you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with her potentially fatal health issue . there's so much stress, you know, on the financial end of it because you're getting these phone calls every day and, and every attorney, i will call it like 801200 bucks just to file bankruptcy. no, i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to offer bankruptcy, you know? none of my cardiovascular specialists are vanderbilt. he wrote on my medical records, he 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 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, i had eat, you can look at someone like you can look at me right now. perhaps and, and maybe think l a perfectly healthy. but you don't know what's going on inside someone's body in it. we spend another 4 trillion dollars on we spend another trillion dollars on tax cuts. are wealthy people, do you see the effects of wealthy people spending those tax cuts that we give them in salina, 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 that bubbles up from the ground right with, if everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has, might spend, then economic activity will spiral upwards and community likes align left in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started working again for 27. the reason that i'm here back cancel anna is because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are $11.10 and it's a full time thing. i live here and go home, start getting ready for them to get home from school. and of course we have to have supper and if their homework get their bass and it's bad time and ready to start all over. they've been through a lot to be as small as they are and same things and heard things and that child shouldn't. you know,

drugs is really bad thing here in this little small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has showed man to the ground freight i. 6 the smart a i still wanna warn him to have worked hard that he just didn't want to live in a basement with impact. i gave him the best job i ever had my life when i came back to take care of girls and 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 know what you have to do, you know, so ah,

where you go. i don't like about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and i have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to for the nearest place. it will with the fashion nowadays. we really would like to say the town come alive again. like i said, we just need more people that are willing to last in the community. if we give everybody money, you know, everybody has something to spend in, 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 like selena. and if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly, every time you go around the board, the costco, yet another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 time you, pasco,

and monopoly. the gang would be over in about 3 terms. see that $200.00 you get for passing go and monopoly. that's universal, basic income. they are no matter what it is, unconditional, you know it's come, you're getting it, whether you're when and or you lose and, and if you're losing, it can give you a chance to give you hope that maybe just maybe you could still pull this off in our representatives in, in legislatures and congress, they know the investments payoff, right? they know that, for example, $1000000.00 investment in the fish hatchery, they'll hollow, pays off in multiples of that amount, every year in the tourism that it brings into this community. a lot of people actually try well here just to fish and buy them, come and do slot or just to finish will say i have to buy groceries here at the bar

fusion license out by gas, you know, they, they stimulate to economy, you know, quite a bit with 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 go straight out of the river cuz the doc is a little bit either further. got here a lot. oh for has got a girl. oh oh, did you get infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail brings in business. basic income is like infrastructure spending for families. right. 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, 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. father in law came up with money and got me out. it's harder. again, imagine what she had to go through. i hated to put her in that predicament, and i would never have to put her in that predicting again if i can, i can help it. but like i said, as long as it's hard to get work, it's hard to pay. you know, if you got the money, you can't pay, it scares me. death. i'm a new day a or if i know of, i don't buy it after so long. they won't come get entire me away from a family. and are you working right now in signing off and on working roads and it's hard on me course. notice you guys notice lions and stuff. it's hard on me cuz

i retain fluid and stuff but i get it. and i, when i have to give my kids, you know, we tried to go to a doctors office, they wouldn't accept him because he don't have insurance. and then that goes all the way back to the money thing. 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 maybe days all turn came down and he didn't show it to you guys. but when he slid down the hill over there to, to catch land in that heard him a garden. how like a $1000.00 and then help you aid. i mean it would god oh mine. okay. them okay magic what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better,

we would our years much is mounted our valen levy. but my mom's in the paper. okay. if you don't me careful. mm mm. a dish. ah, i'm gonna try another question for them on both post estimates. you

asked me to scan it betweens with between, what did you like to replace that up? radius? love a different benefits you want to forget to put my love with camera walk, which doesn't feel like we have to watch market. a bunch of them are you for your for holding because you were using this tool. what is going to the broker insurance card company or what it covers it. i've got the new book with more than i did this, kimberly they put us. 5 on the system when you look for the oil e. yeah, beautiful made you cross cause i thought if sheila the last no with release would meet the all clear. what is i get local to most of

the stuff on a late what didn't hurt to let the estimate the moment when you ask them when you finish to lie down the line with who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number those constantly growing. i think you each of the problems to call soon as you speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine, or wish you were banding all imports of russian oil and gas new g. i know they guarantee with this is joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy. you so

there's your boomerang move. mm. i mean, we have 2 choices when we design programs for the poor, for people who are struggling, we can say you need to prove to me 1st you're worthy of my health and then i'll help you. ready or we can treat people the way we treat our families or children our neighbors and say, we're going to help you 1st because we have faith in you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that help. and that's what it basically come to us

. i just up a couple of different things on the presupposition is that there is a, a belief of inherent good that was in people. there's a common belief and understand that most people are basically good. i believe in there with we say that you ought to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern say though, some people don't have bootstraps to pull up. some people don't have hands to pull them. some people don't have feet to put them on to be a person of faith, no matter what was specifically a lot of hope in is or what tribe appreciate your other belief system that we prior to that there isn't there ought to be a common written, loving our name for who they are for where they are not for who and where we think

they ought to be. that kind of was good enough for jesus. i think it ought to be good enough for us to hey, ah, 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 will misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. don't you think some of these people do . gabriel money they wouldn't turn into a dope, a couch, potatoes, work, and what we are name. 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. i'm looking at this way. if i'm growing a garden in my family, what there have

a nice garden. wait, work hard on that. so you're saying i should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road. he didn't work so hard. come in here and get part of my garden house at rat for us. this 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 i 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 an earlier i've actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well, actually most people act like you and your friends in your family. basic and compounds have been done all over the world, and generally they do not find that people misuse the cache or stopped working when they receive it. in 2019, the myra stockton, california launched an 18 month program where they gave $500.00 a month. no strings attached to a $125.00 residents are made less than the cities annual median income. one of those recipients spent the money on surprise, groceries pay and bills, you know,

the same things you and your family would probably spend the money on to ah ah, so we are within the last $30.00 days of the pilot project. in his 1st year with the 20 women and we work with, we have seen them do everything from payoff predatory debt. go back the school, get better and coin that opportunities to like be or more engaged parents to re establish relationships. really this have an opportunity to show up and live their full lives. and that's the beauty in the power pairs. oh, i used the for so many things. stay and on top of paying the bills in the household, things i was having to like take the baby clay so you know me, you know,

you can't really just really have the babies. oh, so oh baker, allowing him to be somewhere where he can also not, not just be a watch to what also learned. ah me, i was able to go ahead and enroll him in daycare in d and just focus on school. on my sake a semester. he a medical bill and they all coating at the finish that semester. i made the dean's list, there was very exciting. i got my ged, i graduated in june. i was very excited about that because ill, really, one of the things that he cannot hinder me from, you know, job basically well good 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 of plan for themselves and their families.

so no one quit working individuals went and got better career opportunities in the they didn't look at the school and it was paid off dead individuals, labor, charbonneau, lives, polls of valentine bay. it was a mere inside. we can make them with the keys in 6 months form the baby girls were made ago. mary had a when, how was. c nervous and i get up, there was a fine, oh my god, i have to do something to tear the golden road on row in. i looked up a he, boy, he bo, he cry on an air roar. you know, there was, it was exciting. well, you know, 50000. yeah. she started the, she started the that the room. all crying. yes. mom actually i was on madness with cancer 1st. and so they also bought our relationship close to between the, you know, my mom got the phone and you know she needed a lot or she got

a seat is mer to stay in the 09. she here with the b yoshio with the key. so now her being down, you know, just to return the favor just to be like, mom, we're for you just like use your for me all, even though it is a guaranteed income pilot in their other guaranteed income pilot 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 the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't a voucher or a subsidy dedicated to one particular b. or most importantly, we do like family, like one katie bow lane movie. we were able to celebrate a lot of that. they, we, you know,

times before holidays and just campaign by actually being able to get together as a family. and i have so many names lie and up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in these administration. i made some great people who it's great think way, let me know when i cross the bridge to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about getting with, you know, just say of people, you know, and looking at for you just to see did, you're trying to do something, you know, to change your life and you situations than in your awaiting like kamani. and we're happy to share with that what do you think is gonna happen when the program and i believe that we spend a lot of time thinking about what happens when something ins. and to me that's

a clear sign of not trusting individuals. so 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 are not there. put a plan in place for when is money and so, so i believe that individuals are going to continue to do whatever they need to do to take care of themselves. and, ah, ah, 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, 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. 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 really upset. cash to me, it's freedom and it's bringing it gives you options that without that 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 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 in that 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. oh, we have to take this opportunity and see that we do not have a limited time. and so my ask for you all tonight is brita. 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 to have picked up on it or not, but right now things are less than ideal for a huge number of people in this country. a blur ban. let go from jobs that are never going to come back rack 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 they treadmill. don't you think you'd feel a little better if you had slightly more assurance that you and your family were gonna be okay. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act like it was flip at john economic boot off of people's next. let's give everyone a piece of get all american pass so that no one has to start from nothing. that's freedom at u. b. i think about a with

with ah, everything has changed. and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate attack of the west. or counter a check to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. their real aim is, of course, saving the 500 years of their donation. and the intermediate aim is on demand.

now, but to have to my china, they have to 1st to take out rush, ah ah, a stall in the russian city of don't. yes, comes on the ukrainian schellenberg with the locals reporting at least the way explosions, allegedly caused by us supplied weapons. beneficial thing calls about resign an outrage over what they call a blatant discrimination of supply. local authorities. british military intelligence have plans to set up a group of ukrainian saboteurs in crimea to attack russian target bounce according to legal documents obtained by investigative news out at the grey zone. we hear from the web finds chief edison construction of this secret.
