ah, are we witnessing the end of globalization as we have known it for about the last half century? it would certainly seem so. the west, the ability to shape the world and its own image also appears to be on the way. as a result, should we expect new regional and block globalization? ah,

most people, i know they laid their 8 hour job and go home and relax that. i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep them close, change my clothes, 1st job. go to the 2nd. and this keeps hastening from. want to go home. oh, what's the book about this town? i? well, it is spanish. you have to have to mail box it was. it was amish. ah yeah, i have listen to some of that one with you. ah, if you didn't have to maybe work as hard to get by, you could maybe spend more time with your loved ones while 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 now here's my grand great grandmother and great grandfather. here it's peaceful. i really like it up here and. and 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 at 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 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 rocks very much of over. i seriously thought i was to 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, decided that i had an 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 the 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 was like a 101200 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 specialists 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, 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 of a perfectly healthy, but you don't know what's going on inside someone's by in what we spend another 4 trillion dollars on. we spent 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 in a community likes align left from the army originally. and when i got out,

i just didn't come back home. i just started work started going for 2070 the reason that i'm here back in, so ana is because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10 to full time in 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. they've been through a lot to be as small as they are the 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 showed man the ground for you. oh, there's a as the owner wanted to have works hard that he just

didn't well, all of us live in a basement with a bag. i gave him 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 for the nearest place. it will because this

is the fashion nowadays. we really would like to say the found 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. if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly, every time you go around or in the pascal. yeah, another $200.00. you didn't have that to resolve is the only time you pasco, and monopoly, again, 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 and, 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, congress. they know the investments payoff, right? they know that, for example, and $1000000.00 investments 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 visual, say on the bar girl. she's here at the bar. visualizes apple bar. guess, you know, like i still like 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 program go started off of the rubric of the doctor a little bit either further. got here. oh, we've got a girl. oh oh, good 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, came out with money and got, yeah. it's hard or 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 predictor again, if i can, i can help it. but like i said salon, it's hard to get work. it's harder paid. you know, if you got the money, you can't pay, it scares me death that i'm a 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 and sign 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 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 things, 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. 08. i mean it would god oh mine. okay, the market magic, would it would dave? so my family may, my wife would live better. we would our years much is mounted. our valen novi. my mom can please april guy. and if you don't get

me her she blue then no money, a money, a money, a money with

it. are we witnessing the end of globalization as we have known it for about the last half century? it would certainly seem so the wes ability to shape the world and its own image also appears to be on the way as a result, should we expect new regional and block globalization? mm mm

mm mm community we have 2 choices when we design programs for the poor and for people who are struggling, we can say you need to prove that 1st 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 precept 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 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 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 take 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 lazy. brown 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 opened the door and let the neighbor down the road. it didn't work so hard. come in or and get part of my garden. how's 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 residence and made less than the cities annual median income. one of those recipients spent the manion 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 aren't 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 and the power pairs. oh, i use the for so many things. stay and on top of paying the bills in the household, things and 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 being watch dewitt also laurie, ah ami. i was able to go ahead and now enrolled him in

day care in the 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 when and get better career opportunities in the didn't look at the school. and it was paid off dead individuals, labor charbonneau watson, poles of valentine bay. it was a mere inside. he can make them with the keys in 6 months for the baby girl's rear

guard. mary had a when, how about tomorrow. c visa, and i gave 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 boy, he crying hard and air reward, you know, and it was exciting. well, you know, because he found, yeah, he started it, he started the that the rural, all crying. yes. mom, actually i was on madness with cancer parks and so they also want our relationship closer to the you know, my mom got home and you know, she needed a lot or she is mer to saying when she hit with the bill, 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 home. 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 that had a decrease in benefits, they still say that they are glad that they receive 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 mark line katie boley movie. we were able to celebrate a lab 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, a home visas administration. i met some great people who it's great think they let

me know when i crossed the bridge to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about a, you know, just say people they, you know, i'm looking at for you jason c. date you're trying to do something, you know, to change a life new situations. then you're waiting like kamani. and we're happy to share with what you think is gonna happen when the program ends in 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 which 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 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 really a stag. cashed 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 disadvantage 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. i 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 we are going to be okay. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act, blanket slip at john 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 at u. b. i think about a

with in 2022, the in government approved a package of military aid to ukraine,

coordination with nita to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a week, almost even atomic bombs are hearing all the same nato and the u. f with the one that people will die just for make money. the one that has been yes, care there while you mess you got through on it or if you're gone through or not, you are complete. i mean there's water damage. you thought if you need to put them in, those will dark morsa me my show. it was wrong tool or a for orfa exec leila lesser opinion polls show that over 70 percent of italians are against military support for ukraine. i landed in confront with the de la thought. we flap don't a level yet, a scared out and go home and do not. she named the,

the daily dad. wonderful. i was just a little boy, a lot. you think they'll be enough food and we're not only in fun theater, the laptop i'm with headlines this hour belgrade accuse is a self proclaimed republic of kosovo. seizing a majority substance in the regions north just now is off. the christina officially applied to your membership. we report from the ground the us to use, it's not a focus on it to highlight what it calls russia. china is quote, the stabilizing activities in the region with us is washington ship from africa. acute issues leaves painting fall from please contact.
