6:02 pm
i dislike 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?
6:03 pm
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 a healthy person ever. i all a 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
6:04 pm
the force of the blood. which means i have to keep 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 potentially fatal health issues. 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 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, 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
6:05 pm
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 to 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 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 salina, or do you think that instead of economic activity always coming from the top and trickling down,
6:06 pm
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 in the army originally. and when i got out i just didn't come back home. i just started work so young for 2070 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 to full time in saying 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 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,
6:07 pm
drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has showed mandel friday. oh. 6 there's not a also wanna warn that works hard, that you just don't. well, 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 out. i need this know what you have to do, you know? so in
6:08 pm
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 fashion nowadays. we really would like to save the town, come alive again, like i said, we just need more people that are willing to invest in the community. if we give everybody money, you know, 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 like selena. if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly time ago around the board, the costco. yeah, another $200.00. you didn't have that to $3.03 time you, pasco,
6:09 pm
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 on conditional, you know, it's come, you're getting it, whether you're when and or you lows in 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, a $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 fish and buy them, come and blue slot, or just to fears will say,
6:10 pm
i have to buy groceries here at the bar. vision lies example by gas. you know, like those terms 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 programs. go straight up the river cuz the doc is a little bit either further. buffalo offer has 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, to pay for the infrastructure that they need, whether it's child care or whether it's housing, whether it's food closing, or
6:11 pm
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. got yeah. it's hard or imagine was 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 says, loaners hard to get work. it's hard to pay, you know, if you can get the money again, hey, it scares me death. i'm a ne, a or if i know if i don't buy it after so i'll never come get in. typed me away from a family in. are you working right now and sign off in our working roofs and it's hard on me course on notice you guys notice lions and stuff. it's hard on me cuz i
6:12 pm
retain fluid and stuff, but i get it now and i, when i have to get 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 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. now heard him a got him now with a $1000.00 and then help you and i mean it would god oh mine. okay. the market, imagine what it would do. so my family made my wife would live better. we went
6:13 pm
our years much is mounted, our valen novi, while mama county table guy, a guy who a resource for are we witnessing the hand of globalization as we have known it for about the last
6:14 pm
half century. it would certainly seem so the west 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 in 2020 to the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine. coordination with nature to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a weep, almost even atomic bombs are here even on the fame nazzo and the u. f with you should. i'm the ones that people will die just for make money . the one that i have, i have been yes, here there a while you mess you got through on it. if you're gone through or not, you are complete. i mean there's water damage. you thought if you need it on to get one for them as well. the other more saw me my show, it was wrong tool or
6:15 pm
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 day for that last or if i don't a little yet, levi and more on a skid out and goes home and do not she then the love by the daily death. wonderful . i lucille my last lot a lot you this little things and we're not returning fund theda the laptop me i
6:16 pm
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 health 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 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,
6:17 pm
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 to say, no matter what was specifically a lot of will be in years or, or what tribe of christianity or 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 sure that it 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,
6:18 pm
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 on what we are now. but when i asked people what, 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 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 that she 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 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
6:19 pm
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 cash or stop working when they receive it. in 2019, the mayor of 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,
6:20 pm
get better and coin that opportunities aren't to like be or more engaged. parents to re establish relationships really does have an opportunity to show up and live their full lives. and that's the beauty and the power of care. ah, 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 watched what also learn. ah me. i was able to go ahead and now enrolled him in daycare in the and his focus on school. sorry, my sake of the military and medical bill and they all coating as i finished that semester. i made the dean's list. there was very exciting. i got my ged,
6:21 pm
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. it's 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 when and gab better career opportunities in the day doesn't look at the school individual paid off dead individuals. labor charbonneau was no proposed of valentine bay. it was a mere inside connect them with the keys in 6 months for the baby girl's rear guard . mary had a when i was nervous and i get up there on this line. oh my god, i have to do something to tear the golden road on row in. i looked up a he boy,
6:22 pm
he boy he crying hard and air reward. you know, it was exciting. well, you know, he has he? yeah, he started it. he started the that the rural, all crying. yes, actually i was on a magnet with cancer hearts out. they also want our relationship close to the, you know, my mom got the mom and you know, she needed a lot or she is mer to stay. and 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 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,
6:23 pm
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. most importantly, where do i go? family milan, katie, boley movie. we were able to sell her a lot of when they read, you know, before holidays, just campaign actually being able to get together as a family and i have so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job, a home visas administration. i met some great people. great, great. think they let me know when i cross the bridge to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about a,
6:24 pm
you know, just say people there, you know, and looking out for you just to see, did you trying to do something, you know, to change a life, a new situation then in your awaiting kamani, and we're happy to share with what you think is gonna happen when the programs 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 that trusting individual. so 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 enough. they have 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
6:25 pm
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 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 lee. 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 ass 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
6:26 pm
basic income in that pitch. so it's something i really want 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 to night 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. racket 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 say 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 like it was
6:27 pm
flip 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
6:28 pm
l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously,
6:29 pm
is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot, most protective phone existence with a to see how this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, in the summer of 2022, italy,
6:30 pm
along with all other nato member states to think of li, sided with ukraine in the armed conflict with russia. rome in coordination with the u. s. approved a military assistance package for keith to help ukrainians defend themselves. and fight back looking bulletin arch. i'll start with eliano spin that the fan you'll need on your job site on the same nato and the u. f with you and the ones that people will die just for make money. there are those who opposed the decision at various levels of government. i was a, one of these are the members of the parliament to that show day. yes, i'm else italians also protested in the streets. mm. but across the ocean in the united states, their voices am not heard. italy holds the rec.
