GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY

JOINING US IS SCOTT SHELLADY.
HE HAPPENS TO BE IN LONDON AT
THE MOMENT.
I CAN SEE BIG BEN BEHIND HIM BUT

TEEING HIM UP HERE, WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THE UNIVERSAL BASIC
INCOME PLAN FOR CHICAGO?
ROOM WHERE I COULD LISTEN TO
WHAT JEROME POWELL WAS SAYING
ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
HERE IS WHAT I WOULD SAY.

YOU NEED TO CHOOSE.
YOU CAN'T HAVE AN ECONOMY DOING
WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW, SOME
EMPLOYERS SAY THERE IS NOT
ENOUGH CANDIDATES FOR ADVERTISED
JOBS OUT THERE, ALSO HAVE A
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME.
MAKE SENSE.
I KNOW WHICH ONE I WOULD CHOOSE.
THE COUNTRY NEED TO CHOOSE ONE.
IF THE FED SELLING US TRUE YOU
KNOW WHERE MY CHOICE IS.
STUART: IT MAKES POLITICAL
ABOUT THAT IS THE TRUTH, ISN'T

RUN ON TANGIBLE THINGS YOU CAN
PEOPLE ANYTHING, AND MAKE THE
GOVERNMENT MONEY AS WELL, OR,
WE'LL TAKE FROM YOU TO GIVE TO
YOU OVER HERE BECAUSE THAT IS
WHAT WE'LL DO, UNIVERSAL BASIC
INCOME.
THAT IS NOT FAIR.
DOESN'T JIVE WITH MOST AMERICANS
HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT GOING TO
WORK EVER DAY.
ULTIMATELY THOSE TANGIBLE TAX
CUTS, LESS REGULATION ULTIMATELY
