4:30 pm
on september indivisibility of security, one country should not attempt to attain security at the expense of another country . this is exactly what the west has done against russia to the point of claiming russia has no right to any security garrison's 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 the disks and hastening from. want to go home. oh, what's the book about this town? i? well, it is foolish. you have to repeat the mailbox she. it was that he was amish. ah,

4:32 pm
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 hunger games, 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?
4:33 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 an advance come on in the house. here it is what it is, but i'm happy here much the rocks very much 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
4:34 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 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 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 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
4:35 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 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 l 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 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,
4:36 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 like salon, them left in the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started working on for 2070 the reason that i'm here back cancel ana is because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10 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 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,
4:37 pm
drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has showed me under the ground. oh, there's a, as the owner wanted to have works hard 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 out. and when you this there what you have to do, you know, so in
4:38 pm
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 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. if i can make the analogy to a board game, if you think about the game monopoly for a time to go around the horn, the pasco. yeah,
4:39 pm
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 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 a representative 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 finish and buy them, come and do slot or just to finish will say on the bar groceries here at the bar
4:40 pm
visualizes out by gas, you know, like i still like to economy. you know, quite a bit with my, 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 because of the doc is a little bit either further, but here, oh the offer has 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
4:41 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. barry mo, came out with money. got yeah. it's hard or 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 predictor again, if i can, i can help it. but like i said salon, it's hard to get work. it's hard to pay, you know, if you got the money again, hey, 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 entire me away from a family in. are you working right now and sign off in our working roads and it's hard on me course on notice you guys notice my hands and stuff. it's hard on
4:42 pm
me cuz i 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 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 got him now would a 1000 dollars and then help you. 08. i mean it would god oh mine. okay. to market magic what it would do. so my family may my wife would live better. we went our years much is mounted.
4:43 pm
our valen. no the while mom tell please people guy a guy who a dish out a
4:44 pm
a a a ah a loan money and no
4:45 pm
money in them money. it gets me an updated them it my money in my name with with
4:46 pm
community and 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. 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,
4:47 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 of faith, no matter what was specifically a lot of will be in years or, or what tribe appreciate your 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,
4:48 pm
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 time somebody 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 by. 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 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
4:49 pm
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 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,
4:50 pm
get better and coin that opportunities 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 power 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 now. so 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 just focus on school on my sake of the military and medical bill in the coding. as i finished that semester, i made the dings least there was very exciting. i got my ged,
4:51 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 we're 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 post valentine bay. it was the name side. you can make them with the keys in 6 months for the baby girls when a guy mary had a when. how about tomorrow. c and i get up there was a fine, oh my god, i have no stump into tears or gotten road on row in. i looked up a he, boy, he boy,
4:52 pm
he crying hard and heir reward, you know? and 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 closer to the, you know, my mom got the mom and you know, she needed a lot, or she is mer to stay in the 09 she here with the below. she'll with the key. so now, harby and now, 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 there, other guaranteed income pile 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
4:53 pm
a decrease in benefits, they still say that they are glad that they received the cash. because the cash a lab and 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, katie boley movie. we were able to celebrate a lab of when they read, you know, times before holidays, which is campaign by actually being able to get together as a family. i have so many names lie and up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in these administration. i met some great people. great, great. think they let me know when i crossed the bridge to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about a,
4:54 pm
you know, just say people did, you know, and looked map for you jason c. date you're trying to do something, you know, to change your life, you situations than in your awaiting like kamani. and we're happy to share with of 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 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 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
4:55 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, 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
4:56 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 for you 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 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
4:57 pm
it was 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
4:58 pm
ah, by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british empire. the
4:59 pm
colonial authorities had imposed that heavy death bringing the people into poverty and were exporting natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the traditions of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizens. the british were showing signs of disrespect even to those who cooperated with them. the fact of ignoring the religious beliefs of the hindus led to the mutiny of the sea boys, mercenary soldiers serving under the british crown. 3000000000 began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india. in the form of a mutiny. the rebels quickly took over daily. the heroic resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal. the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels cruelly thine slaves the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right through their bodies for the amusement of the public. this type of execution was
5:00 pm
called the devil's when the obliteration of the mutiny resulted in the death of 800000 inhabitants of india. however, the british empire never broke the free spirit of the indians and their will for resistance. in the summer of 2022, italy, along with all other nato member states effectively cited with ukraine in 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. let them know. we'll start with eliano spin. this is dan, you'll need you on your job site on the same nato in the u. f with the ones that people will die just for make money. there are those who oppose their decision at various levels of government.
