dies and says, and i wish i had a better job. they say i wish i 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 hundreds, 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
10:35 pm
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 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,
10:36 pm
it will rupture in your 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, of 101200 bucks just to file bankruptcy. no, 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,
10:37 pm
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 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, 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 mine to spend,
10:38 pm
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 together 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 suffer 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, drug is really bad thing here in this little small town and it has destroyed many families. it sure has shoot man to the ground
10:39 pm
freaking out. 6 the smart a i still wanna warn him to have worked hard that he just didn't want to live in a basement a bag. i gave up the best job i ever had my life when i came back to take care of the girls and it was either that or let them go into states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back up. i need this, they're what you have to do, you know, so ah, well, i don't like about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and i
10:40 pm
have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to for the nearest place. it will with basha and 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 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. and if 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 $2.03 time you, pasco, and monopoly. the game would be over and about 3 terms. see that $200.00 you get
10:41 pm
for passing go and monopoly. that's universal, basic income. they are no matter what it is, unconditional, you know it's come, you're getting it, whether you're when and or you lose and, and if you're losing, it can give you a chance. you can give you hope it may be just, maybe you could still pull this off a representative in, in legislatures and congress, they know the investments payoff, right? they know that, for example, 1000000 dollar 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 try well here, just to fish and buy them, come and do salon. i'll just to fears will say i have to buy groceries here at the bar fishing license out of buy gas. you know, they, they stimulate to economy, you know, quite
10:42 pm
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 because the dock is a little bit either production. 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 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 for medical expenses. these are all infrastructure investments as well in the productive power of our people and our families in our communities.
10:43 pm
bowery, mo, i've came up with money and got, yeah, it's harder. again, imagine what she had to go through a hated to put her in a predicament. and i would never have to put her in a predicting 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 a need a, a or if i know if i don't buy it after a while and they're going to come get in, take me away from a family and are you working right now is fine and often are working room. it's hard on me course. notice you guys notice 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,
10:44 pm
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 bye. they 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 and then help you aid. i mean it would god oh mine. okay. the market magic, what it would do. so my family may, my wife would live better. we would our years much is mounted out of valen. nearby
10:45 pm
wyoming out the paper. okay. and if you don't me careful. mm mm. for leash. oh, for is your media a reflection of reality with in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?
10:46 pm
hi, solution for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, i mean we have 2 choices when we design programs for the poor and for people who are
10:47 pm
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. 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 within people there is 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
10:48 pm
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 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
10:49 pm
way. some other people choose not to work. don't you type 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 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. 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,
10:50 pm
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 were 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 that opportunities to like be or more engaged parents to re
10:51 pm
establish relationships really does have an opportunity to show up and live their full lives. then that's the beauty and power pairs. oh, i used it 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 be and watch the, but also learned, ah me. i was able to go ahead and enroll him in daycare in the and his focus on school. i saw my sake a semester. he a medical bill and they all coating at the finish that semester i made the dings least there was very exciting. i got my ged, i graduated in june. i was very excited about that because it was really one of the
10:52 pm
things that he can 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 digital about the school and digital paid off dead individuals, labor charbonneau, and lots of polls. and they it was a mere inside. he can make them with the keys in 6 months from the baby girls when he had a gar. mary had a win. how. c movies 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 a he, boy, he, boy, he crying hard and everyone, you know, there was, it was exciting. well,
10:53 pm
you know, 50000. yeah, she started it. he started the that the rural, all crying. yes. mom actually i was on madness 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 in the 09. she here with the be your 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 here for me all. even though it is a guaranteed income pilot in their 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 a decrease in benefits, they still say that they are glad that they received the cash because the cash
10:54 pm
allowed the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't a voucher or a subsidy dedicated to one particular bank. or most importantly, where do i go? family, milan, gayety, bow lane, movies. we were able to celebrate law when they read, you know, times before holidays and just 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 baez's administration. i made some great people who it's great being way, let me know when i cross the bridge to come pop to them. so i'm very excited with, you know, just say people did, you know,
10:55 pm
and looking out for you jason c. date you're trying to do something, you know, to change a life new situations, vanity or waiting like kamani. and we're happy with what 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 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. the nurse, ah ah, in the end, people want to be productive. they want to have a better tomorrow and they have to day. and if you give people a stable,
10:56 pm
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 upset. cash to me, it's freedom and 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 for, you know,
10:57 pm
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. 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 we are going to be okay. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act like it was
10:58 pm
lipp 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
10:59 pm
ah, what else shows seemed wrong when i just don't know. i mean you world, you have to shape out. this thing becomes the attitude and engagement equals the
11:00 pm
trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the us ordered a crock down on the protesters in peru, reporting to the out the president federal best feel, who has now been sentenced to at least 18 months in jail. piper's new us back government, the africa leader summit wrapped up in washington with america top diplomat breaking off the west colonial path to criticize russia. with the un overwhelmingly adopt a russian profit resolution by the glorification of nazi is not.
