british media, they will be focusing on the need to support a battalion who knows, and their proc and their breakaway elements of the ukranian army. there will be nothing about corruption and how this aid money is going down the drain. we should act for him. the important thing is to worship and to the blank and state department as currently configured and to hell with britain, that's what the british population will be. should be thinking, according to the detractors are for next policy on ukraine. and as for the british public, they don't get the information the u. s. department of agriculture state's around $8000000.00 turkeys have died of a the, an influenza this year. but efficiency also trying to blame russia for the rising costs of thanksgiving dinners in america. the price of a lot fresh starkey will cost just $0.02 more per pound than last year. and

a large frozen turkey would cost $0.09 more per pound than last year. with the ongoing highly pathogenic avian influence outbreak rushes war in ukraine and draw across the united states, pushing up the price of thanksgiving staples. however, the u. s. department didn't explain how exactly wash as military operation is affecting the prices of american turkeys. joe biden earlier referred to the higher food and energy prices as putins price hike. however, food prices in the us were on a surge even before the ukraine conflicts wraps in february. some americans have expressed their discontents with the unpleasant thanksgiving bells. no, i have a very good printer now. i'm thinking maybe it's not enough. i was 10 years ago. i told people some people retire early in the what would be inflation, the thrive, the 3rd is a very high. i don't know how much cook my daughter border along time ago, but they're high prices i even with many thanks for keeping his company here were

naughty, international web back at the top of bell with the very latest ah . with most april, i know they lay there 8 hour job and go home and relax, but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep them closed. change my well, the 1st armed out in the 2nd and this keeps,

it keeps me from want to go home. what's the book about this town? i? 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, you see 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 him margaret. this is my grandpa sister. she ah, came off a horse, i in a curve, hunted my founder on a bank. and now 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 same material. i disliked volunteer and i do thanks for my community and try to make a difference. no one ever dies and says, and i wish i had a better job. they say i wish at more times than with my family. i wish i could have explored some of my interests of music or art 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 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 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, you have a rupture in your dad where you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with her potentially fatal health issue . there's just 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, of 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 to, i had eat you can 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 body in it, what 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? 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 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 in a community. likes align. mm hm. left in the army originally and when i got out i just didn't come back home. i just started work. so young for 2070 there isn't 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 and if their homework get their bass and it's bad time and ready to start

all over again. 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 whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has shown amanda, the grand baby. oh there's a as the owner warning that works hard is that you just don't want all of us live in a basement with 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 on, i need is there what you have to do? you know,

so in there 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. they will because this is masha nowadays. we really would like to save 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. if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly, every time you go around the horn, the pasco, yeah, another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 time you, pasco, and monopoly. the gang would be over in about 3 turns. 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 in and if you're losing, it can give you a chance and she gave you hope it may be just, maybe you could still pull this off in our representatives in legislatures and congress. they know that investments payoff, right? they know that, for example, $1000000.00 investment in the fish hatchery deal 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 finish and buy them, come and do slot or just to finish will say i have to buy groceries here at the bar . vision lives out by gas, you know, like i still like to economy. you know, quite a bit with 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. it goes straight out in the river cuz the doc is a little bit either production. oh offering, who's got a girl? oh, oh, did you get infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business? oh, 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 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 grandma's money and got yeah. 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 a predict me again. if i can, i can help it. but like i says lot, it's hard to get work. it's hard to pay, you know, if you got the money again, hey, it scares me dad, that i'm a ne a or if i know if i don't buy it after, so i'll never come get entire me away from

a family in. are you working right now? it's line off in our working roads and it's hard on me course. i'm notice you guys knows lions and stuff. it's hard on me because i retain fluid and stuff. but i know when i have to give my kids, you know, we try to go to a doctors office, they wouldn't accept him because he don't have insurance. and then i goes all the way back to the money thing. no money. so because you don't got no money, we don't care about channels. 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 got him now with a $1000.00 and then help you 8. i mean it would

god oh mine. okay. them bucket. imagine boy, if you don't me careful. mm. mm. a dish ah ah ah, well, i mean a

ah ah, ah me. i

mean, 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 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. just a couple of different things. the present position 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 tribe appreciated your other belief system that we prior to that there isn't, there ought to be a common, really 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 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 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 weight 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. just kind of resist. 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 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 early 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 to school, get better and coin opportunities and feel like they are more engaged parents to re establish relationships. really this have an opportunity to show up and live their full lives the then that's the beauty and power care. oh, 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 baby as food though. oh baker. allowing him to be somewhere where he can also not, not just being watched what also learned. ah me. i was able to go ahead and now enrolled him in daycare in the and just focus on 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. 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 a plan for themselves and their families. 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. oh polls and they you of a near beside it. we can make them with the keys in 6 months from the baby. girls, when i got mary had a when, how about tomorrow. c visa, and i get up there was

a flight. 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 crying hard in air reward, you know, and it was exciting. well, you know, because he yeah, he started it, he started the that the rural, 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 gas, t o, and you know, she needed a lot, or she got a seat is mer to stay. and when she hit with the bill, she'll with the key. so now, harby and dal, 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, where do i go? a family, milan, gayety, bow lane b. we were able to celebrate law when 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 beesley administration. i made some great people, great, great things. they let me know when i crossed the bridge to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about getting

with, you know, just say people, you know, and looking out for you jason c, date you're trying to do something, you know, to change a life and you situations they are waiting like kamani. and we're happy to help 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. 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. an 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 a state cash to me. it's freedom, it, it, 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 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 they treadmill. 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 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 what we've got to do is identify the threat that we have. it's crazy foundation. let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic. that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully,

very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with hungary saying there's no agreement with fellow members. i guess price caps, which is undermining, give up the energy security as 7 of the countries threatened to veto the restrictions on russian oil emperor with russia. defense industries, the railway transfer a foreign weapons.
