joining us now former mayor tubbs. congratulations. >> thank you. >> yeah, no, it's great to hear this now in his state of the state tuesday governor newsom committed to fight equality -- or inequality or fight for equality on many fronts. income is definitely front and center. today he made you the point person as his non-paid special adviser for economic mobility and opportunity. what will you do in that role? >> it's a huge mandate as you mentioned. a lot of it is building on the success we have seen. the governor has shown great leadership with the earned income tax credit with the golden state stimulus. a lot of the work will be building on the existing work. supporting the work of mayors throughout the state including the eight mayors in california mayors of guaranteed income. working close will go business and state department and how we can use the resources of the state to make sure economic gains are spread throughout the state. how to be supportive of of small businesses and make sure the business under the

so, michael tubbs, there was the experiment the whole country was what happens when you give $500, nottached, to people. what did you find? >> we found that, number one, in fact, we found that those who received the guaranteed income were more likely to find full time employment and were less likely to be unemployed than they were before the guaranteed income, but also in comparison to the oup of folks in the control group who unfortunately did not receive the guaranteed income. we also saw that, no surprise, that the $500 allowed people to be better able to handle emergencies when they came up to deal with income volatility. we saw that depression decreased. we saw that cortisol levels decreased. we saw that stress and anxiety decreased. and according to the kessler scale, comparable to clinical trials of prozac. which doesn't mean that medicine isn't important, but i think it does mean that economic insecurity has a huge mental health cost and so much the anxiety and stress we see is due to economic insecurity. and then we also saw that people were better able to do the three things

mayor tubbs, good evening. >> good evening.can we just start with that result, in terms of employment? why do you think that was that people who received this universal basic income found jobs more readily than people who did not? >> well, josh, first, scream that stat from the mountaintops. i spent the last three years arguing with people about how $500 would not make people lazy, would not make people not work. and the reason is simple -- when you're in an economically precarious situation, even taking a day off their part-time job that's hourly with no paid time off is a risk of losing money that you need to pay the bills that are going to come, or it was used for child care or reliable transportation to get transmissions fixed to get to work. so, i'm not surprised and i'm so proud of the folks in stockton for showing all these myths we have about why people struggle and who the people who struggle are are also. people aren't lazy. people aren't waiting for the government to save them. people just need a fair shot in the eco

mr tubbs. good to have you want today?ngratulations i want to know a little bit about what your role is going to be with the newsome administration. and i guess, you know, given your background and what you did in stockton. a lot of folks might wonder. is there a chance that we could see? ah state, universal basic income program here in california. thanks so much for having i'm really excited about my new role with the governor in the administration, and my role will be really laser focused on what the governor called in the sand to stake when the most pressing issues that states preaching preexisting condition if you will, and that's the issue of economic inequality. this issue of lack of opportunity. this issue of economic mobility and to make sure that the golden state danes are broadly sure that people can afford to live. i'm in the great state of california. so that's part of that role. i will absolutely be supporting folks like mayor shaft and others on throughout the state, including those who are part of marriage,
