• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: can do for you, ask what you can do for
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: your country.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when JFK said that? If you're around
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: or have you ever heard that clip before from John F.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior. I'm sure we all have President Kennedy and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: its inaugural address, and he said, ask not what you
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: can do what the country can do for you, but
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: what you can do for your country. And as powerful
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a statement as that is, mean, how can you give
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: back into a government that supports you, and how can
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: you actually do for yourself and not rely on the government. Well,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: we've got a twenty twenty five version of that quote.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Lady and gentlemen, ask not what the country can vemo you,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: but what you can memo your country. It's come out
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: over the last couple of days, as onely up on
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: news update. Beyond the craziness that is Pambondi the Attorney
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: General skipping a human trafficking conference after she's obviously not
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: been releasing the Epstein files, that's been crazy, but I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: think this one ups it Venmo and Payvalu users. According
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to the New York Posts, ari Ariel Zobert can now
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: send money to the US government to help pay down
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: thirty six point seven trillion national debt. You can access
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt page on pay
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: dot gov. And the expansion of payment options comes to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a growing concern which has served from nineteen point five
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to nine trillion twenty ten to its current level and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: increase of eighty seven percent. By the way, this program
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: has existed since nineteen ninety six. And you know how
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: many people have contributed to lower our debt. Sixty sixty
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: seven point three million dollars alone has been contributed to
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: lower the debt. That's not enough. And of course now
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the spending bill and the different spending bills since ninety
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: six have been passed have raised the debt. And this
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: big beautiful bill raises the debt. But here comes the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Treasury saying, Hey, if you can't send us a paper checker,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: if you can't give us a debit card a credit card,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: that's not easy enough for you. Why don't we just
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: have you give us a Venmo or a PayPal to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: help the US government pay down debt? Pretty modernizing way
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: of saying what JFK said.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Ask, not what your country can do for you ask
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: what you can do for your country.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Even the New York Post emits this bill is projected
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to add an additional three point four trillion dollars to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the debt over the next decade, which the CBO Congressional
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Budget Office recently stated. But I have to say this,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: if you're going to support the US government through Venmo,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: then support your local friends, venmo's, local family members, venmos
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: people right next to you who have Venmo, support them.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Put a little cash in their venmo. If you're going
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to put cash in the caffers of the United States government,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: It's amazing because all this comes about eighty eight thirty
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: five in accessibility. Well, the US government trying to make
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it more accessible to donate to the US government. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I think now it's a perfect time to say, Hey,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: if you were a friend, have a Venmo, or a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: reminder or a PayPal reminder, support your friend. Put a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: few bucks in your friend's venmo. Hell, put a few
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: bucks in my venmo. If you want alexak Scarrett Dash
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: twenty one, that's Alex Dash Garrett Dash twenty one. Because
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: as I told my friend Ryan, if you can support
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Uncle Sam, you can support one leg up Alex. Let
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: me say that again. If you want to support Uncle
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Sam and help pay off the national debt through Venmo,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: then support your local brands, your local friends, venmos, even
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: one leg up Alex's Venmo, if you want Alex Dash
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Garrett da'sh twenty one, Alex Dash Garrett DA's twenty one.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Because all of us can do some kind of debt
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in our lives, and if we're going to help reduce
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the governments, why not help our next door neighbor or
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: our friend or our family member. That's the story that
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I take away from here on one Like up on News,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: it isn't the fact that Congress has shut down for
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: however many weeks now because they don't want to touch the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: up seam file votes. It's not just Pam Boundy called
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: out sick to a human trafficking conference. It's this right here.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: How can we support each other? Because again, if it's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: going to be told to you that PayPal and Venmo
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: are going to be used to the US government, then
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: all of us should come out of our shell and say, hey,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I've got a venmo, to support my venmo, ad to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: my funding, you know, to buy work, reduce myb you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: know that that type of thing, So I just found
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that a little comical and also a little capitalistic. Look,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: capitalism is society. We capitalize on stories like this, don't we.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Alex Dash Garrett Dash twenty one is my vemo. That's right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You can support the work that I'm doing at One
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Leg Up Alex that way, and I got a couple
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of updates here before I release the Big Shabang, which
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: is perspectives from so many voices in the disabled community.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I'm going to release that later today for ADA thirty five,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: but I also will say that grant that we were
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: fortunate enough to get at a DA Spark twenty twenty
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: five Heinenz and Supiscardi Center. Well, I'm running with it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I have now applied to do a partnership with Toyota
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: because I found out today through podcasts tonight that Toyota, Toyota,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the car company lead in podcasts and spending so many
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: sales reps from Toyota are listening to this. I'm Alex Garrett,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and I would love to partner with Toyota. I would
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: do the One Leg Up Alex Crutch stand in front
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of Toyota dealerships to make it happen. Why not, because
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I believe Toyota could help serve the disabled community even
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: better through adaptive cars partnering with companies that make adaptive cars.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Put that as a feature as a line of toyotas
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: rite in Dinver Back to school, by the way, that's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the whole point. We want to make accessibility happen for
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: the new school year. September is right on the corner.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And if Toyota wants to pitch in and help support
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the disabled community through this podcast, I would be so owned.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So let's speak that into the existence right here at
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: one leg up with Alex Garrett again. VENMO now a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: preferred option to give back to the government and contribute
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to the sixty seven million dollars already since nineteen ninety six,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just need I don't know thirty six something trillion dollars more.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: But we'll get there, right, we gotta find other ways.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the tariffs are really going to
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: be the answer in the long term. These spending bills
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: keep getting passed. The debt is ballooning, as a New
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: York Post alliterates too. But yes, your VENMO to the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: US Treasury will make a difference. Well, if you're gonna
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: try and make a difference in the US debt, you
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: can make a difference in people's lives right around you
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: by asking them what their VENMO is and if you
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: want to support mine again, Alex Dash, Garrett Dash twenty
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: one is my venmo. This has been my quote unquote
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Ted talk and we'll talk to you soon for the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: eighty eight thirty five big sh obeying of all the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: different voices I've had on to talk about accessibility and

  Speaker 2: the Americano Diessibilities Act. Hearing all these voices will help
