10:30 am
we heard was that the british has wanted to talk to the prime minister there, and there is some kind of discussion going on. but they said that we will release it when it is no longer needed for the defense purposes. now that is something in district because the u. k. u was based there, which is the what, which is why it has not been exceeded back to what issues. but as far as it is concerned, we have a principal or to stand on these issues. and we have all of a supported body systems as well that it's uh, cuts and sounds. so this how other stores and of course, can take more besides this one off to, you know, calm. so take a peek and have a great day. the
10:31 am
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 the summer clothes, change my clothes, the 1st job, go to the 2nd and this keeps and keeps me from want to go home. what's the book about this town where it is finished? you a piece of mailbox it was, it was um each oh yeah. i have listened to some of that one with you. of the needs you didn't have to. maybe work is hard to get by. you did uh maybe spend more time with your loved ones while you still have them. margaret, this is my grandpa sister. she came off
10:32 am
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 peaceful. 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 secretary the i disliked volunteer and do things for my community in try to make a difference. the 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 have 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
10:33 am
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 100 is we already spend billions 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 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 or come on in the house here. it is what it is, but i'm happy here. must rocks very much of over. i seriously
10:34 am
thought i was the help this person ever. i also didn't 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 it gets too high, have a rupture in use dead wherever you're at me when you're sick and you're trying to deal with a potentially fatal health issue. there's so much stress, you know, on the financial end of it because you're getting these phone calls every day. and,
10:35 am
and every attorney i would call it was like a $11200.00 just to file bankruptcy. and i'm thinking, you know, am i so broke? i can't afford to file 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 a perfectly healthy, but you don't know what's going on inside someone's,
10:36 am
by the way, spend another 2 trillion dollars on spend another 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, 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, if everybody has a decent amount of economic security and has money to spend, then economic activity will spiral upwards and 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 27 years.
10:37 am
there isn't that i'm here back in. so i is because uh, i have custody of my 2 granddaughters. they are 11 and 10 and it's a full time saying i live here and go home, start getting ready for them to get home from school. and then 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 of debate as small as they are the same things the hard things. and that 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 so smart or live so you can do whatever you as the owner at one of the half works hard, is that you do still a lot of us live in the basement and packed.
10:38 am
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 home. and i need to stay 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 the foot for the nearest place. right. well because this is sasha, nowadays we really would like to stay in the town. come alive again. like i said,
10:39 am
we just need more people that are willing to invest in that community. if we give everybody money, you know, everybody has something to spend and they can spend it in, in each of these 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 and go round of warranty costs, go 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, so you can give you hope that maybe just maybe you can still pull this off
10:40 am
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. have to buy fusion license. i have to buy gas, you know, they say stimuli to 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 and go straight up the
10:41 am
river to offer just got a crown infrastructure like roads and bridges and rail rings in business for basic income is like infrastructure spending for families, for the 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, 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 with some money and got yeah, that is hard on. i can't imagine what you had to go through the. i hated to put her in that predicament and i would never had to put her in that project. me
10:42 am
again. if i can help it, but like i said, as long as hard to get work is harder pay, you know, if you can get the money you gain pay, it scares me that and any day or if i know if i don't buy it after so and they won't come get in, take me away from my family and are you working right now? i'm fine off it on working roads 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 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 they've been, they've all turned him down and he didn't show it to you guys. but
10:43 am
when he slid down the hill over there to, to catch land. and now i heard him a got in with the $1000.00 and then help you and i mean, it would gone on mine. okay. then bucket magine, what it would do for my family. may my wife would live better? we wouldn't argue as much is allowed is our is valid and the, and then i'm out the table. ok. maybe then we go for the
10:44 am
acceptance and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show seriously. why? watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do you have the state department c, i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't marshall stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching. but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the out. probably her my little story because the model girl that i got you,
10:45 am
no problem seeing that on the out of the thing 30 minutes us out in the drive i showed my brother through he was trying to sell people for a lo so now i never look at searches as being saved. well, i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of chicago. police. it'd be gang chicago is like, you get a photo of the police. you lose your life. there's another crap thing. another this could have been a doctor, a nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here the
10:46 am
. 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 more 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 space in 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, the physician is that there is a, a belief of inherent good as that was and people there is a common belief and understanding that most people are basically good. i believe in that the we say that you have to pull yourself
10:47 am
up by your own bootstraps. that's a really classic southern. so you know, some people don't have bootstraps to pull up. some people don't have hands to hold them. so some people don't have feet to put them on the specific move in is or what your other felicia for who they are or where they are. and where jesus be good enough for us to the what's interesting to me talking to people about basic income,
10:48 am
especially people that wouldn't 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 to do you think some of these people, if you've gabriel money, they wouldn't turn into uh dope a couch potato is of course. and while we are name. mm hm. but when i ask 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, have a nice garden, we'd 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? just 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?
10:49 am
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. i mean, i've actually quite a lot of empirical evidence saying, well actually most people act like you and your friends and 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 residence 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
10:50 am
. 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. but then that's the beauty in 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 food. so um, daycare, allow 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 enroll him in daycare and then just focused on school. i
10:51 am
saw him in las vegas, the military and medical building the 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 that's of those really one of the things that he cannot hinder me from, you know, job basically when 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 the individuals labor shopping, their own lives calls valentine's day. it was the main site. you can make them with the keys 6 months from the day because
10:52 am
went ahead and got married had a we in. c 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 started the, she started the, the ripple trying a tom actually was on that and those will cancel services out. they also want our relation goals and to, you know, my mom got sick and you know, she needed a lot or she got mad at the inquiry. she here with the b o, she'll 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 use here for me even though it is a guaranteed income pilot and there are other guaranteed income pilots currently
10:53 am
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 the opportunity to do whatever they needed. it wasn't about share or a subsidy dedicated to one particular bank. or most importantly, we do like a family model, a movie we were able to celebrate the we thought holidays and just count actually being able to get together. i have a family that have so many things lined up. i'm actually going to be looking for a job in bees and ministration. i made some great people with bright things to say let me know when cost
10:54 am
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 generation vanity or waiting like come on and we had to use that i think is gonna happen when the program ends. you know, i believe that we spent a lot of time thinking about what happens when something ins 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 and you are going to do what you and your family need. i have to say that i trust you enough 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,
10:55 am
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
10:56 am
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. this opportunity is to you that we do not have unlimited time. and so my ask for you all tonight 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 rakitin. 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,
10:57 am
say treadmill. don't you think you 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 good all american pass so that no one has to start from nothing that's freedom as you be. i think about the
10:58 am
10:59 am
ukrainian d as for and at least in canada, the united states and countries in eastern europe, probably everywhere. and it doesn't matter what these groups say or do they will support them if it is, the groups are causing hatred and chaos within the target country. joe again might done choose the country joe, or sort of you will as well as what is the list. so 1st, these of potatoes using just $50.00. when the familiar c i use is anyone at any time if there's a religion the,
11:00 am
[000:00:00;00] the republican sentences on the hunt on the following donald trump, the attempted assassination, leaving us secret, sabotaged, running from the grubbing mountain. no question the most i want that might respond in kind of to washington announces the deployment of new select capable miss solids in germany. while you officials, drama, that were montgomery in west. right. and can you and the police van protests in nairobi. one love after a wave of demonstrations against dying mass box type,
