the, the, [000:00:00;00] the most people i know they laser 8 hour job and go home and relax. but i have about 3 or 4 more hours to go. so i just keep so my clothes change my clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd. and this keeps and keeps me from wanting to go home. what's the book about this town? oh, well it is free to shoot you a piece of mailbox. it was, it was um, oh yeah,

i have listen to some of that one with you of the needs you didn't have to maybe work as hard to get by. you could uh maybe spend more time with your loved ones. why you still have them margaret. this is my grandpas sister. she came off a horse in a curve and i found her on the bank and over. here's my grand great grandmother and great grandfather here it's pays full. i really lock 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 cemetery. the i

disliked volunteer and do things 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 i had more time to spend with my family. i wish i could've explored some of my interest 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 100 is 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 got 50 percent of americans living paycheck to paycheck. 50 percent of americans who have little or no savings in the banks 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 offense to 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 also just feel like someone helped me and my spine with an x and my blood pressure was 380 over 260. and then they finally came in and decided that i've 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 to my blood pressure down very,

very low. because if it gets too high, it will rupture in use dead wherever you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with a potentially fatal. i'm 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 would call it was like a 101200 bucks just to file bankruptcy. and i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to buy for bankruptcy, you know, of my, um, cardiovascular specialist, their vendor bill, he wrote on my medical records, they 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 a 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 to, i had to eat the look at someone like you can look at me right now. perhaps and, and maybe think of it perfectly healthy, but you don't know what's going on inside someone's by the way. we spend another trillion dollars on spend other trillion dollars on tax cuts for wealthy people. do you see the effects of wealthy people spending those tax cuts that we give them? and 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, the bubbles up from the ground right?

with everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has money to spend, then economic activity will spiral up or is going to community like so on the left for the army originally. and when i got out, i just didn't come back home. i just started work for 2070 the reason that i'm here back in savannah is because i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and it's hands so full time saying i leave here and go home and 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 of debate as small as they are the same things the hard things and the child should, you know, drugs is really bad thing here in this whole small town and it has destroyed

many families. it sure has showed minded the world. 6 6 to smarter live so you can do whatever you want them to have works hard is that you just don't? well, all of us live in the basement and packed. i gave up the best job i ever had in my life when i came back to take care of girls in that it was either that or let them go into states custody. and so i gave it all up, came back out and i need this. they're what you have today, you know, so the there you go,

i do think about where i spend my money and i would much rather do it here. and they have to drive 30 or 45 minutes to foot for the nearest place. the flu because it's we really would like to stay in 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 nice, you know, as everybody has something to spend and making, spend it in, in each other's businesses. and that creates an upward spiral of economic activity that can revitalize. the small town likes lajna. and if i can make the analogy to afford team, if you think about the game monopoly time to go around the board, the costco, you get another $200.00. you didn't have that $2.03 telling you pasco,

and monopoly. the game would be over and about 3 turns. see that $200.00 you get for passing. go with monopoly. that's universal, basic income. there no matter what, it's unconditional. you know it's come, you're getting it, whether you're winning or you lose. and if you're losing, it can give you a chance you can give you hope that maybe just maybe you can still pull this off the, our representatives in the legislatures congress. they know the investments pay off . right? they know that, for example, $1000000.00 investments in the fish hatchery until hollow pays off the 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 do so. i don't know just to fish and say i have to buy groceries here at the buy fusion license. i have to buy gas, you know, they,

they stimulate the economy, you know, quite a bit the 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. it goes straight out to the river to offer just got a crown. did you the infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business for basic income is like infrastructure spending for families for the last 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 for

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. finally, mo, i've come up this money and got yeah, it's hard or i can't imagine what you had to go through the. i hated to put her in it for gauging it now i would never had to put her in that protect me again. if i can't help it, but like i said, as long as hard to get work is hard to pay, you know, if you can get the money to pay, it scares me that and any day. or if i know if i don't buy it after so, and they're gonna come get in time anyways, my family and are you working right now? i'm fine off it on working roof and it's hard on me course. i'm notice you guys knows my is the, it's hard on me because i retain fluid and stuff but i get it now and i,

when i have to because my kids, you know, we try to go to a doctors office. they wouldn't accept him because they don't have insurance. and then that goes all the way back to the money saying 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 of the save days 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 and now i heard him a got in with a $1000.00 a month, so p o a, i mean it would, god, oh mine. okay them, i can't imagine what it would do for my family. made my wife would live better. we would argue as much is allowed is our is valid and

the, and then the intel to tape ok. maybe then we go from the a tow biden's. whitehouse continues to insist it has little left branch over the israeli government to bring a hall to the fighting and gaza, or live in. this is obviously an absurd queen. at the same time, it appears to us as resigned to

a wider conflict that includes lebanon and beyond. the russian states. never as one of the most sense community best, not all sense of the, in the system must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians per day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube. the question, did you say even closer to

the we have 2 choices when we designed programs for the poor and for people who were 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 more we can treat people the way we treat families. our children are neighbors and say, we're going to help you 1st because we are face and you. we believe that you're going to do something good with that health. and that's what the basic income does . i'm just a couple of different things. um the 1st of physician is that there is

a, a belief of inherent good that within people there's a common belief in understanding that most people are basically good. i believe in that the we say that you ought to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern. so you know, some people don't have boot straps to pull up. some people don't have hands to pull them. some people don't have feet to put them on the to be a person, no matter what was specific is or what try refreshing your other police system that they are or where they are. not who

jesus be good enough for us to the what's interesting to me talking to people about basic income, especially people that would benefit from it is there often resistance 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 misuse it in some way. some other people choose not to work. don't you think some of these people like be gabriel? money they wouldn't turn into. don't a couch potato is worse. and while we are name, uh huh. 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. so i'm looking at this way. if i'm growing a garden and my family go out there that with national guard and we work hard on that. so you're saying i should just open the door and let the neighbor down the road and it will work so hard. come in there and get part of my garden. how is that

right? for us of 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 they 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 them. and we have actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well actually most people act like you and your friends in your family, basic income pilots 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 and made less than the cities annual median income. one of those recipients spent the money on surprise groceries paying bills, you know, the same things you and your family would probably spend the money onto

the . so we are within the last 30 days of the pilot project. in this 1st year with the 20 women that we worked with, we have seen them do everything from pay off credit torrie debt. go back to school, get veterans claimant opportunities to like be or more engaged parents re establish relationships, really just have an opportunity to show up and we have their full lives. and that's the beauty and the power path. i use the for so maybe things stay and on top of paying the bills, the household things i'm saving to like take the baby to glaze so you know they, you know, you can't really just really have the baby is close though. um,

daycare allows them to be somewhere where he can also not, not just be watched, but i also learned the me, i was able to go ahead and uh, enrolled him in daycare in the end is focused on school southern las vegas, the military and medical building they are coding as i finish that semester. i made the dean's list, there was very exciting gama g b. i graduated in june. i was very excited about that and because it was really one of the things that he cannot hand or me from, you know, job basically well the 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. so no one quit working individuals went and got better career opportunities individually that the school individual paid

off. that individuals able to show up in our lives because valentine's day it was, his name's diety, you can make them with the keys. 6 much longer. the baby was way to got married, had a we in how about tomorrow? and i get up there on this line. oh my god, i have to do something to 2 years ago the road i got a row and i looked up a blue table. he crying hard and ever worn saturday, or it was excited. yeah, she saw her to be, she started to the ripple trying a tom actually was on that and i was looking at so far so. so they also want our relationship goals and to explain why, you know, my mom got sick and you know, she needed a lot or she got mad as being a queen. she here with the be yours here with key. so now her being

down, you know, just to return a favor just to be like mom, we're for you just like you was here for me. even though it is a guaranteed income pilot, and there are other guaranteed income pilots 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 and the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't about share or subsidy dedicated to one particular bank. or most importantly, we do like a family model, a bowling movie. we were able to celebrate the we holidays and just count actually being able to get together.

and the families have so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in bees and ministration. i mean some great people with bright things to say let me know when cost a breeze to come talk to them. so i'm very excited about the notes. just say people, you know, and looking out for you just see that you're trying to do something, you know, change your life, easy generations, many are waiting like come on and we had to use up. i think it's gonna happen when the program ends. you know, i believe that we spent a lot of time thinking about what happens when something in and to me that's a clarify and i'm not trusting individuals that 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 wouldn't have to have put

a plan in place for when is money and stuff. so i believe that individuals are going to continue to do whatever they need to do to take care of themselves and their on the, 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 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 leave. this is a moment for debate because the future of our families and our children is realistic. cash to me, it's freedom and it's bringing it gives you options that without and you do not

have cash allows them the freedom to actually make the decisions to determine what it is that they need for themselves. you know, right now i'm an 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 and not pitch. so it's something i really want 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. take this opportunity and see that we do not have unlimited 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, no doubt picked up on it or not, but right now things are less than ideal for

a huge number of people in this country able are being let go from jobs that are never going to come back rack and medical bills are never going to be able to pay, you know, by the way, a global freaking contagion level. pandemic. hard to feel very good about a 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 ok. we really believe in the land of the free lunch act like it was slip that 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 that you be. i think about

the, the, the on the

1918, the countries of the west won the final victory over the ottoman empire. the sultan's government capitulated to the inside and sign the humiliating armesis of little girls. great britain and france, and a delay wanted not only to destroy the ottoman empire, but also to divide the prime orderly turkish lands among themselves. in 1919, their armies began to land on turkish territory. but the west decided to choose greece as the main striking force, seeking to make others realize this aggressive plan. for an intervention bravo them as indignation among the turkish peoples. the national liberation struggle was led by the experienced general mustafah come all as that are in order to bear down the enemy, a bank on the mobilization of the nation. and the alliance with russia, which acted as a united front,

with turkish patriot. at the end of august 1922. the third's army want a decisive victory over the invaders in the battle of doom. libby not and within a month liberated all asia minor from them. the impressive success of the circus army force the west to make concessions. in 1923, the loss on these treaty was signed turkey. one of the 1st countries in asia manage to defeat the colonial empires and defend its independence. becoming an example for millions of the press on the planet the many years ago i took a trip to northern argentina where i stayed in the hotel that had a view just over the fight on a river into both brazil. and part of why i thought correctly as it turned out that
