Same. Their primary job is to keep the country safe and they are failing miserably. Unchecked migration, crime, and now we have young people shouting slogans in favor of several different terrorist groups while actively threatening and committing violence against anyone who disagrees with them.

Same. But I did the latter a long time ago. That stuff is like watching priests of your particular political persuasion. These days I check realclearpolitics every day for both POVs, and avoid other sources, although The Free Press is occasionally useful.
GOOD. The only people I know who watch the MSM are the elderly or hardcore liberal Dems- most all are of the corporate arrogant class who are not affected by this administration's harmful policies.
I’m happy to report, the number of people who describe themselves as politically independent is growing every year. The two-party system has failed us.
I don't always agree with Yang, but he's absolutely right on this. Just like it was the Dem's fault when they lost to Trump in 2016 (which none of my Dem friends wanted to hear).
He's one of only two Democrats I've ever seen (other is Bill Maher) to actually figure out how Trump won. The right didn't go nuts, the left did! Trump was a reaction to their increasing insanity, the SJWs, the extreme feminists, the race hustlers, MSNBC...all just went nutters under Obama.
Well, it has been amusing watching Democrats puzzle so very hard for 7 years now how Trump rose to prominence, all the while anyone to the right of Mao is just slack-jawed how they could not know that leftists nuttery and extremism fully explains it. Political movements, after all, are responses to other political movements. All one has to do is go back several years to see the endless barrage of stories and memes at the time about Social Justice Warriors, like the "Hugh Mungus" saga. That woman and her well organized friends were spawns of the same insane leftist political ideologies that we've all seen spread like wildfire since Trump took office. The left has only been able to control the damage through very tight control of the mainstream media, Hollywood, universities, and now, Google, RUclips, and nearly all social media. Which is why they've turned on Elon Musk so hard since he liberated Twitter from their censorious clutches.
@@Christobanistan I think it's really simple - the Left has simply put no sincere effort into trying to understand the rage and disillusionment of many on the new Right, and where all that anger and frustration is coming from. Instead, the Left prefers to dismiss these people as "uneducated/rascist/deplorables" that aren't worth their time. Until people on the Left start trying to actually understand, they will continue to scratch their heads and wonder why so many people have left their party, and why the landscape has shifted so much, and they will continue to perform pathetically.
You mean when he endorsed Biden in 2020 and said he was a good guy? I used to like Yang but after seeing him endorse Biden and the BS he spews on Trump, I lost respect for Yang. Trump 2024 🇺🇸
What a great interview. Really appreciate the thoughtful questions by Michael, and the honest answers by Andrew. Refreshing is the only thing I can say-we need more REAL talk like this. I even appreciated the "What does Trump get right?" question-because it made me even ask that to myself #criticalthinking This is the way we should talk about the folks we don't agree with, we should be able to see ALL sides of them-the ways they go way wrong, and the ways they might get something right.
Yang sounds so reasonable, then he goes and claims Trump is some kind of wanna be dictator and that people who want to leave the country based on a few emails are not unhinged. I want to like this guy but I do not think he is nearly as middle of the road as he seems.
I think Yang is correct, maybe trump will be voted back out but he’ll do everything in his power to prevent that. So then it’s just a lot of faith in our institutions - it’s a debate not whether trump will do/try what he says but rather if our current checks will prevent it.
@@ianbaldwin5804Our current checks aren't preventing Democrats from waging transparently political lawfare to put their main political opponent in jail rather than run against him in the upcoming election... And no checks have prevented the Democrats from creating a massive censorship regime to suppress most supposedly protected political speech critical of them... And no checks have prevented Democrats from weaponizing the DOJ, IRS, and FBI against conservatives... So my guess is, no, no more Rubicons remain to be crossed. When Trump gets into office, god help us all.
@@ianbaldwin5804 Your "checks" fabricated a criminal investigation into a well known figure in the public eye for decades as a secret Russian intelligence asset. The "checks" have crossed many Rubicons since then. You should not expect and will not receive tender mercies.
It’s the progressive’s fault. The fringe. It’s painful for us centrist democrats to have to vote for Trump, who we loathe and see as dangerous. But there is danger on the far left too, and they REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
@@juniorjames7076 this thing where they can’t see or don’t want to acknowledge say, the danger of forced allegiance through ‘diversity commitment statements’ to apply for jobs in academia, where they already have 90% support, is particularly disturbing. As is screaming into the cameras on their phones for whatever cause. It’s delusional hysteria.
@@rmmr1168 It is what it is. Regardless of how I vote, the outcome has already been decided. As it happens, I married someone from another country. So we have an out. The democrats only chance was to disavow the radicals; they can’t, or won’t. Do you think people really want to vote for Trump? They do not. So what explains it? They are not voting FOR Trump, they are voting AGAINST a fringe that they are more scared of (clearly, there are fringes on both sides). Trump is not ‘winning’ per se. But we are definitely losing, and it’s because of the fact that we tolerate problematic people with problematic ideas, people who are thoroughly unstable - foaming at the mouth with rage - and yes, unlikeable. More unlikeable than right-wing Christian techno-corporate nationalists, which is really saying something. They may be simpletons in the liberal mind, but they are less threatening, and we refuse to acknowledge it. We live in a self-righteous bubble of our own making. We can’t change course because we can’t even admit that our ideas are not convincing anyone, much less our candidates. Welcome to democracy. There are no perfect solutions, only trade-offs. We refused to make the trade-offs necessary to convince a majority, or at least a plurality, of the population, particularly in the battleground states, and now we are going to pay. Our fate is sealed. It’s tragic.
Wish progressives were more economically left and socially moderate. Instead we have progressives who yap all day about diversity and lgbt while ignoring economic issues. So we will all be equal, and we will all be poor.
Not to make excuses for him but if you listen to his podcast The Fifth Column he and the other hosts step all over one another all the time. I think he is used to that....
19:20 Andrew didn’t mention, he was polling ahead of Kamala Harris in California. That would have been so embarrassing if she didn’t drop out, losing to a novice outsider like Yang in her own home state.
That could happen but unless it literally happens on live television you won't be told about it, and if it does happen on live television you'll be told it was a "bout of indigestion" or "an allergic reaction to shellfish" and that he is hale and hearty and ready to go back to work for the American people immediately (but will not be seen publicly for weeks). That's what they did with Lenin when he started having serial strokes - posing his limp body in a chair "hard at work" for the Soviet Union, taking a picture, and then deleting anyone daring enough to question it. Remember when Ruth Bader Ginsburg was doing a workout that thirty year old men couldn't do, eating kale everyday and then one day she just dropped dead?
interesting. Arguably, if the incumbent's candidacy is so fragile that it will fall apart at a whisper, then I think that shows us something, does it not?
I don’t normally agree with Yang but he was a delightful interview, I found his laugh so funny and it made me also laugh, and the guy was speaking a lot of truth!
I want to like Andrew Yang because he seems really honest, but he also seems really out of touch. He just recites the "Joe's a good and honest guy" bullshit and is promoting a 3rd party candidate that could clearly not win. What's his deal?

@LydiaSings I don't understand how you can still support them after 25,000+ innocent civilians, gone. And what tf would Haley do for them that Biden isn't already doing?
The amazing thing is that Democrats long ago weaponized the DOJ, the IRS, the FBI, and our federal courts system against conservatives. Yet people on the left can't see it, even Yang and this interviewer. Yang even claims the most corrupt president we've ever had, a man who spits vitriol at the left constantly, pushes and supports political censorship on a mass scale is a "good man." Just astonishing!
Wish Yang was able to see the authoritarian control his own party has *actually* placed on nearly every level of government and media. But like any partisan, he can only see the splinter in others' eyes, never the log in his own.
It's unfortunate that Yang doesn't make the biggest point at the end. The biggest concern is that, while Trump tends to skirt the edges of the law, he has already shown he will use precedent. Whether it's mass demonstration leading to a riot, or classified documents. Now that his enemies have weaponized the state against him (almost all of it dropping right after he declared, thereby also obviously affecting the election)... we should be very much worried that he'll consider it fair game. And let's face it: half of DC will have some excuse, some form of corruption to go after. He was evidently dissuaded from 'lock her up' in his first term, but now? Unfortunately, Biden is no improvement on that, nor would a Biden successor be (are we supposed to believe Joe Biden himself is plotting any of this?).
Each time one political party breaks precedent, the other party says "ok, game on." McConnell did it with the Supreme Court confirmations. The Dems impeached Trump twice, so the Republicans impeached Mayorkas. I am sure there are examples going the other way. The Dems have made it open season on Trump and his supporters, what would be the reason for Trump NOT to do the same? If I was Trump, I would go after Biden, his family, his supporters, the states that are attacking him. No violence, but enough investigations to make their lives very expensive and uncomfortable. The Dems want to unleash the machinery on their political rivals, but don't expect the same back when the other side is in power, that is just naive. Game on.
So by your own admission a precedent has been set by the democrats weaponizing state and the justice system against him, and now the fear is that he’ll use their same tactics? Sounds like the issue is Pandora’s box being opened, not Trumps potential future activities per se.
So Trump would be “ much worse than the first time” what would Biden be a second time? I don’t think the country can survive 4 more Biden Harris years. Trump/ Tulsi is a no brainer comparatively.
I would love to see Tulsi on the ticket so much. He needs to consider what's best for the long term and who could possibly serve 8 years after him. She said she went to talk to Trump in 2017 to make sure he wasn't hawkish about starting more regime-change wars, which is an important issue to her. The minute she was willing to talk to him in 2017, Hillary and everyone on the Left attacked her. Hillary said she was a spy that the Russians were grooming. No one in the mainstream called Hillary out for her despicable comments. She just wants the U.S. military and CIA killing innocent foreigners. Just like Victoria Nuland, the New American Century project (which has blown up in their faces and led to 34 trillion in debt), and the rest of the neocons which now reside in that party. All the talk forever about "community organizing and "building coalitions". Its all bs. Tulsi Gabbard got my respect when she announced leaving the party, and referred to the Democrat party as "an elitist cabal of warmongers". If nothing else, she and RFK jr would make a hell of a team for the next 8/16 years. They both have voiced positions on our domestic and foreign policy policies, with regards to what we are getting wrong and desperately need to course correct, better than 99% of those in both parties.
@mtmg3648 what is driving that? The immigration crisis in town there? Other things? It’s hilarious (not really) how out of touch dems are with reality. And how people just will still not be compliant and do as they say and hate trump. Crazy times
Slightly nuanced but I think he means that Philips could have a better chance of beating Trump than Biden. I kinda agree with that. I don't want to vote for Trump OR Biden, but I would have no problem choosing just about anyone else over Trump....I'd vote for you over Trump. Biden V Trump, it's a pretty close call.
This election is a horror show. Our choices boil down to one man who is too old for the job and another who is just three years younger and is demonstrably unfit for the office.
Hopefully Trump will be convicted and Haley will have to step in!!! As a democrat, I will vote for Haley for the sake of Israel. However, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP!
I’ll never vote for Joe Biden I can’t do it he’s too old now and trumps presidency was better you call it a threat I’m being a realist it was a better Presidency worldwide and especially in the United States
Agreed. He was one of the most consequential presidents and he has really done a lot of great things he hasn't gotten credit for, mostly due to their own bad messaging. And I still wish he would not run again. Take one for the country
Ditto. I would rather have a stuttering, old, but wise and experienced guy than young revolutionary. Unfortunately, Democrats don't have anything in between.
To pretend Joe Biden is the only choice with these qualities is such an insult to everybody. And "sane" could be debated when many problems still exist or have worsended. To believe that being moderate in EVERY situation, is great news for people talking advantage of weak politics. Sometimes - or always - a clear message, clear rules etc. is more worth than actually enforcing confusion and creating extra work. Outside and domestic propaganda uses insecurity to the hilt. I don't know where this notion comes from that weak and slow policies makes you "level headed". It only looks like a shocking inaction in the face of severe issues. Like the uncommunicative way the Biden adm. behaves. Pick another candidate.
Afghanistan, profligate spending bills, incompetence, open borders the second he took office, inability to stand up to his extremist base, and senility. "Not bad."
His policy since October has been nothing of the sort. Not moderate or sane and certainly no compassionate. Before October I was actually ok with Biden, since October, I've become never Biden.
His Mitt Romney comment made me think the same thing. He hasn't' been relevant in a while and he never even mentioned RFK JR. If the DNC would shrug off the left wing progressives and allow Dean and RFK to debate, either one of them would beat Trump.
Mr Yang. Your basic income is a brilliant idea IF you displaced welfare, unemployment, social security, Medicare and Medicaid. You never say that though. So it’s an insane idea if you mean to keep the status quo.
I mean his idea when running for president was UBI would replace all the usual social services if you choose that or you kept the benefits if you refused UBI. It was either or. Were you not paying attention at the time?
From my understanding after following Yang during his 2020 Election cycle, UBI would stack on top of people's current social welfare. It is in addition to it, not a deduction from any welfare programs.
@@VersionBestthen you weren't understanding it properly. Under his plan people who are currently receiving welfare would choose to keep it or substitute those benefits for UBI. Everyone else would just get UBI if they accepted it. You can decline it as well. Perhaps that's why you thought people get both - they would not, it's one or the other.
What do you mean if? I hate Trump, but neither am I going to vote for a war criminal. Then again, what does it matter, my 1 vote or a million votes? This country is not even democratic, probably not from the beginning. Just because you have elections don't mean shit about this government being by, for, or of the people. What a joke of a country.
What the Democratic leadership did made me walk away. I'm now Independent. I also stop watching mainstream press.

Retirement is not a shame, just go with it Joe while you still have a little dignity.
It's unfortunate that Yang doesn't make the biggest point at the end. The biggest concern is that, while Trump tends to skirt the edges of the law, he has already shown he will use precedent. Whether it's mass demonstration leading to a riot, or classified documents. Now that his enemies have weaponized the state against him (almost all of it dropping right after he declared, thereby also obviously affecting the election)... we should be very much worried that he'll consider it fair game. And let's face it: half of DC will have some excuse, some form of corruption to go after. He was evidently dissuaded from 'lock her up' in his first term, but now?
Unfortunately, Biden is no improvement on that, nor would a Biden successor be (are we supposed to believe Joe Biden himself is plotting any of this?).
Each time one political party breaks precedent, the other party says "ok, game on." McConnell did it with the Supreme Court confirmations. The Dems impeached Trump twice, so the Republicans impeached Mayorkas. I am sure there are examples going the other way. The Dems have made it open season on Trump and his supporters, what would be the reason for Trump NOT to do the same? If I was Trump, I would go after Biden, his family, his supporters, the states that are attacking him. No violence, but enough investigations to make their lives very expensive and uncomfortable. The Dems want to unleash the machinery on their political rivals, but don't expect the same back when the other side is in power, that is just naive. Game on.
So by your own admission a precedent has been set by the democrats weaponizing state and the justice system against him, and now the fear is that he’ll use their same tactics? Sounds like the issue is Pandora’s box being opened, not Trumps potential future activities per se.
So Trump would be “ much worse than the first time” what would Biden be a second time? I don’t think the country can survive 4 more Biden Harris years. Trump/ Tulsi is a no brainer comparatively.
I would love to see Tulsi on the ticket so much. He needs to consider what's best for the long term and who could possibly serve 8 years after him. She said she went to talk to Trump in 2017 to make sure he wasn't hawkish about starting more regime-change wars, which is an important issue to her. The minute she was willing to talk to him in 2017, Hillary and everyone on the Left attacked her. Hillary said she was a spy that the Russians were grooming. No one in the mainstream called Hillary out for her despicable comments. She just wants the U.S. military and CIA killing innocent foreigners. Just like Victoria Nuland, the New American Century project (which has blown up in their faces and led to 34 trillion in debt), and the rest of the neocons which now reside in that party. All the talk forever about "community organizing and "building coalitions". Its all bs. Tulsi Gabbard got my respect when she announced leaving the party, and referred to the Democrat party as "an elitist cabal of warmongers". If nothing else, she and RFK jr would make a hell of a team for the next 8/16 years. They both have voiced positions on our domestic and foreign policy policies, with regards to what we are getting wrong and desperately need to course correct, better than 99% of those in both parties.
Did you not watch the video? Why does it have to be either Biden or Trump? Yang was advocating for Dean Phillips.
Moynihan 👍
We gotta get my boi trump back in to finish cleaning the swamp from both parties! Trump /Vivek 2024 💪🏼
Trump derangement is strong with this one.
Love Yang but still going to vote Trump. My Trump vote is a fuck you vote.
SSME HERE! And a vote for freedom of speech, against censorship and forever wars, and America First! #WalkAway!
Based
“Most of the country doesn’t want Trump.” Lol. Ooooooookkkkkkkkkkk
It’s true
I am in NYC and NO ONE I know (including in my neighborhood and work) is voting Democrat!
@mtmg3648 what is driving that? The immigration crisis in town there? Other things? It’s hilarious (not really) how out of touch dems are with reality. And how people just will still not be compliant and do as they say and hate trump. Crazy times
@@mtmg3648 Is that why the dems keep winning elections?
"Biden is Toast" was Politico's headline immediately following the Trump / Biden debate last night. Biden looked and performed terribly.
prescient
Nah, Yang is interesting but deep in delusion if he thinks Philips has a chance.
He did say several times he has little chance.
Slightly nuanced but I think he means that Philips could have a better chance of beating Trump than Biden. I kinda agree with that. I don't want to vote for Trump OR Biden, but I would have no problem choosing just about anyone else over Trump....I'd vote for you over Trump. Biden V Trump, it's a pretty close call.
@@jacobrheaume1 jfk jr has a better chance than philips
@@lynn3958 JFK Jr. died in 1999. That said, he's a better choice than Biden.
it's less about philips and more that biden will lose to trump. He wants someone other than Biden up there.
Who's gonna tell him. The majority of the country. AKA Not DC not NYC wants trump...
You don't know NYC. Long island, Queens, Staten Island, and Upper Manhatten/Harlem are pro-Trump.
Joe Biden is a younger George McGovern ;-(
I agreee with his Democrats (Progressives) fault assessment but his weird Kamala style laughing was when he was giving non-answers. 🤔
Trump would be worse than the first time? 16-19 was as good as 96-00 with Clinton both great times to get ahead in life
This election is a horror show. Our choices boil down to one man who is too old for the job and another who is just three years younger and is demonstrably unfit for the office.
Biden is a great president
Hopefully Trump will be convicted and Haley will have to step in!!! As a democrat, I will vote for Haley for the sake of Israel. However, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP!
Israel First!
🇺🇸Latinos for the GOAT! President Trump 2024!👏🙌👍🇺🇸
@@sandragomez4757 Like cruel dictators much?
Trump 2024. 😂😢😂😮😂
I’ll never vote for Joe Biden I can’t do it he’s too old now and trumps presidency was better you call it a threat I’m being a realist it was a better Presidency worldwide and especially in the United States
it's sad to see how far hang has fallen... he used to seem sensible. Clearly he's got TDS
We need moderate, sane, compassionate leadership in this country. Unpopular opinion: I didn't think Biden was all that bad, despite his advancing age.
Agreed. He was one of the most consequential presidents and he has really done a lot of great things he hasn't gotten credit for, mostly due to their own bad messaging. And I still wish he would not run again. Take one for the country
Ditto. I would rather have a stuttering, old, but wise and experienced guy than young revolutionary. Unfortunately, Democrats don't have anything in between.
To pretend Joe Biden is the only choice with these qualities is such an insult to everybody. And "sane" could be debated when many problems still exist or have worsended. To believe that being moderate in EVERY situation, is great news for people talking advantage of weak politics. Sometimes - or always - a clear message, clear rules etc. is more worth than actually enforcing confusion and creating extra work. Outside and domestic propaganda uses insecurity to the hilt. I don't know where this notion comes from that weak and slow policies makes you "level headed". It only looks like a shocking inaction in the face of severe issues. Like the uncommunicative way the Biden adm. behaves. Pick another candidate.
Afghanistan, profligate spending bills, incompetence, open borders the second he took office, inability to stand up to his extremist base, and senility. "Not bad."
His policy since October has been nothing of the sort. Not moderate or sane and certainly no compassionate. Before October I was actually ok with Biden, since October, I've become never Biden.
yang should of ran for 2024
This host is annoying
Extremely! And very arrogant!
Yang is so out of touch. If people are still not understanding the appeal of Trump, love him or hate him, there is no hope for them.
His Mitt Romney comment made me think the same thing. He hasn't' been relevant in a while and he never even mentioned RFK JR. If the DNC would shrug off the left wing progressives and allow Dean and RFK to debate, either one of them would beat Trump.
Oh dear. He really wants Dean Phillips, Biden 2.0 just younger
How many many elections has Andrew won?
From a guy who generated zero interest as a presidential candidate
Yang sold out. He could do so much better if he switched teams.
Oh please.
Mr Yang. Your basic income is a brilliant idea IF you displaced welfare, unemployment, social security, Medicare and Medicaid. You never say that though. So it’s an insane idea if you mean to keep the status quo.
I mean his idea when running for president was UBI would replace all the usual social services if you choose that or you kept the benefits if you refused UBI. It was either or. Were you not paying attention at the time?
From my understanding after following Yang during his 2020 Election cycle, UBI would stack on top of people's current social welfare. It is in addition to it, not a deduction from any welfare programs.
@@VersionBestthen you weren't understanding it properly. Under his plan people who are currently receiving welfare would choose to keep it or substitute those benefits for UBI. Everyone else would just get UBI if they accepted it. You can decline it as well.
Perhaps that's why you thought people get both - they would not, it's one or the other.
lets be honest, we lived alot better in trump term than biden.
now we're listening to a Tool like Andrew Yang?
Tell us about how impure he is. Please.
same old Yang.....living in lala land
What do you mean if? I hate Trump, but neither am I going to vote for a war criminal. Then again, what does it matter, my 1 vote or a million votes? This country is not even democratic, probably not from the beginning. Just because you have elections don't mean shit about this government being by, for, or of the people. What a joke of a country.
