i know they lay their job and go home and relax. i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep my clothes, change clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd and it just keeps me from want to go home. what's the book about this time? i will finish to repeat the mailbox. it was it was mitch ah, yeah i'm, i have listen to some of that one with yes. ah, in you see didn't have to maybe work is hard to get by. you kinda 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 then since my family's buried here, how this 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 it into the hunkers, 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 an advance come on in the house. here it is what it is, but i'm happy here much the rocks very much of over. i seriously

thought i was the help this person ever. i all sudden 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, it will 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. now i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to offer bankruptcy, you know, my cardiovascular specialist there, 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 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 hello, 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 other 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 and so on. i was because i have custody of my 2

granddaughters. they are 11 and 10. 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 if their homework gets 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 sure amanda, the freight. oh. 6 the smart a also wanna warn him that works hard, that he just didn't want all of us to live in a basement with in

a bag i gave up the best job i ever had my life when i came back to that girl girl in the head it was either that or let them going to states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back out and i need is there what you have to do? you know, so in 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 put for the nearest place. they will because this is 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. yeah, 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. i can make the analogy to a board game. if you think about the game monopoly time ago around the board, the costco, yet another $200.00. you didn't have that to $3.03 time you pass, go in monopoly again would be over and 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's unconditional. you know it's come, you're getting it. whether you're winning or you lose and, and if you're losing, it can give you a chance. didn't give you hope, it may be 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 travel here just to fish and buy them, come and do slot or just to fears will say i have to buy groceries here at the bar vision, laza bar, guess, you know, like i stimuli 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 up the river cuz the doc is a little bit either further, but here, oh offering has got

a girl. oh oh, did you get infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail brings in business. oh, basic income is like infrastructure spending for families. right. 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 or medical expenses. these are all infrastructure investments as well in the productive power of our people and our families in our communities. volley mo, came up with money and got yeah. years harder. again, imagine where she had to go through. i hated to put her in that predicament. and i would never have to put her in a predictor 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 any ne, a or if i know if i don't buy it after so long they're gonna come get in. take me away from a family in. are you working right now in finance, off in our working rooms and it's hard on me course on notice you guys notice lions and stuff. it's hard on me cuz i retain fluid and stuff, but i get it now 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 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 in that heard him a got him now with a $1000.00 a month help you own aid. i mean it would gar. oh mine. okay. them back at maggie, what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better. we would are you now and then my mom into the paypal guy. you know, if you don't make careful who

a cash. oh, a with its in structure being degraded and the weather turning into winter ukraine faces the star prospect of becoming a failed state. no amount of western arms can change that parse reality. why should it in kev have demonstrated they have no real interest in negotiations? ukraine state has been field

ah ah, 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 that you're worthy of my help. and then i'll help you. ready or 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 faith in you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that help. and that's what it basic income goes. just a couple of different things. 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 that. ah, 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 in is or what try with christianity or other belief system that we try to get 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 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 somebody to paypal or via bill money they wouldn't turn into a dope, a couch, potatoes, work and what we are name. but when i asked 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. wow, look 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 paying 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 to school, get better and coin opportunities to like be, are more engaged parents to re establish relationships. really does have an opportunity to show up and we have their full lives. and that's the beauty and power care. ah, i use 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 to play 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 in watch dewitt also learned. ah me, i was able to go ahead and now enroll him in day care in the, in some school as on my sake a semester. he a medical bill and they all coating at the finish that semester. i made the dean's lease, there was very exciting. i got my ged. i graduated in june on i was very excited about that because ill, really, one of the things that he cannot hinder me from, you know, job basically uh, 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,

mazda loan. oh, polls. uh, valentine bay. it was the name side. he can make them with the keys in 6 months from the baby girl's rear guard. mary had a when i was. c nervous and i get up, there was a fine, oh my god, i have to do something to 2 years ago and rode on row in. i looked up a he boy, he bo, he cry on an air roar. you know, there was, it was excited. well, you know, 50000. yeah. she started the, she started the that the room. all crying. yes, mom ashley. i was on a magnet with cancer 1st. and so they also want our relationship close to between the, you know, my mom, gassy. and you know, she needed a lot or she is mer to stay in the 09, she here with the b. o. she'll 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. oh, even though it is a guaranteed income pilot in their other guaranteed income, pyle is 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, where do i go? a family, milan, gayety, bow lane b. we were able to celebrate a law when they, we, you know, times before holidays and just campaign 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 diesels administration. i made some great people who it's great think way, let me know when i cross the bridge to come pop to them. so i'm very excited about getting with, you know, just say people they, you know, and looking at for you just to see did, you're trying to do something, you know, to change a life, easy generations, vanity or waiting like kamani. and we're happy with that. what do you think is gonna happen when the program ends? you know, 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. 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, if people want to be productive, they want to have a better tomorrow, 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, 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 expect cash to me. it's freedom and it is 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 to 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 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 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 bay and 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 freakin, contagion level, pandemic. hard to feel very good about a 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 slip 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 with

only one main thing is important or not to some internationally speaking that is, that nations that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slave americans, brock obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take over the world. that was caught your strategy. so some golf out of it on your own, i not leashed off tim zip on and tablet block. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that america

uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is bad that shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion with its infrastructure being degraded and the weather are turning into winter. ukraine faces the stark prospect of becoming a failed state. no amount of western arms can change that harsh reality. why she didn't care have demonstrated they have no real interest in negotiations. ukraine's fate has been sealed in 2022. the italian government approved a package of military

a to ukraine. coordination with you. i need to to help ukrainians, defend themselves, and fight back about 150000000 euros was make a week or more. even i told me bombs are hearing all the same, naco, and the you with the one that people will die just for make money. the one that i have, i don't. yes. unless you've got 3 on it or if you're gone through, you are complete. i mean, there's water damage with on that i won't put them in there. we'll talk more sammy, my show a tool or a for orfa exec leila lesson opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians are against military support for ukraine. landed in confront with the date for that last or the flap. don't a lot of us yet, levi and more on a skid out and go home and do not. she named the la by the daily dad. wonderful. i

was just the last little boy a lot you then because he has been a fool. he's and we're not even fun. theda the layout. ah latest headlines right now and i to international lights out in ukraine after a series of miss all stripes across the country. the power goes off a neighboring, moldova, as well. the european parliament, brown's russia, a state sponsor of terrorism, and a non binding resolution. a teenage boy is killed and 18 more wounded and twisted bus stop explosions in jerusalem. local police are calling it a terror attack with great.
