OMG! As an outsider, I've never ever seen so much positivity & synchronised agreements from US citizens on US President candidates, and certainly, never binge watch any of them until Andrew Yang. All the best Andrew and praying for your victory. #YangGangMalaysia 🇲🇾
Yang made me realize Bernie is just preaching and the other candidates are ignorant of the technology revolution happening now. I hope he gets more acknowledged during this run.
You've had plenty of time to learn more skills than how to drive a truck. Plenty of time to save and plan for your future. You fucked up and want a bailout. So does everyone else, instead of hunkering down and putting in the work
@NorthernCaliWay Ya see. Truck driver first, save, then learn a new skill. You dont even need $1k a month. Everyone else would just stay in the truck driver job because its easy, and complain later when they're 49 that they need extra money because their only skill has been replaced by a robot (or younger person). More hard working people like you, less people begging for a govt hand out
quietlike do you understand how expensive it is to go to college? if you live in a middle of nowhere town and your parents lose their jobs bc the factories moved to southeast asia? it’s a lot harder than saving up for a few years.
@@ameliaheppe3990 read the response above. College is likely the reason a lot of younger kids are broke. Unnecessary for most debt servitude for almost all.. Thank govt intervention for the unaffordability. Only has gotten less effective and more expensive since govt got its greedy hands on the industry with the inception of the dept of education. Theres a reason why the richest people didnt go to college. There are tons of online courses, trade schools, apprentice programs, workshops available. The people not falling underwater have built side hustles part time. 10 hrs a week is enough to get most started, either side hustling or learning a new skill. Theres 168 hours in a week, 10-20 hours is completely reasonable. How many hours are you SPENDING on entertainment? How much time are you INVESTING in yourself to learn a new skill? Its a mindset. And cost? Online courses range from a few hundred to a few thousand. People have no problem getting 6 figures into debt for a worthless degree, but think its impossible to save a few thousand for a complete course as they go into debt for iphones, tvs, and cars. Priorities How many cups of starbucks, movies passes, dinners, and worthless crap have you spent your money on?
As an entrepreneur myself, I can image the UBI could help with many aspects of the people and society. It's like the feel that I invent/perceive a brilliant idea and later establish a startup company to implement it.
Exactly, UBI would give you the power (and resources) to start your business. If hundreds of people follow suit, the industry would be competitive and keep prices lower.
I have been watching some of Dianne Sawyer's documentaries ..HIDDEN AMERICA. It so hard for people .. eg over 100,000 people a year sell their blood plasma to make ends meet. Quite depressing actually. I pray that this young man wins. $1000 a month is nothing for some folks but it would be like a gift from God for so many others. HUMANITY FIRST.💝💝💝 May God's Blessings be with you Andrew Yang. Your parents did a wonderful job
@Imaru Lewis Yang is for killing babies. Having an aborition is killing a baby with a heartbeat, hands and feet, fingernails and a unique genetic makeup. you do understand that just because a baby is in the womb doesnt change the fact that it is a bay right?
I think its more of a mental health aspect. It really isn't about the money, its more about peoples mental health and how money brings more stress to people. Creating a UBI for people across the board would help change peoples mindset than anything.
Please Andrew. Please keep pushing for this. You're gonna fall on your face so much because the people in power don't want this. But if you get enough people talking about it you can enact real POSITIVE change :)
The most underrated US presidential nominee in the 21st Century. I was preaching to my friends and family about why UBI is necessary and how dangerous automation could be if we have no plan. They went from denying everything I was saying to finally seeing its truth amidst this pandemic and claiming that they always believed it
Man, I've heard of automation years ago from my college Math professor back in 2010, who has a full time career in that field in automation of vehicles. This has to be our president of our future as he see's this coming as of right now.
I’m a Trump supporter but Andrew Yang is probably one of my favorite democratic candidates. UBI is an idea that we should definitely look into in the near future.
The first few sentences Joe Said reminded me of The Dark Knight when Bruce was having a party to support Dent’s campaign & Bruce gave his little speech. Same vibes
Angel Chavez - Wormeaful It cant be any worse then what’s in place now, this system is set up for the rich to get richer and if you’re not a “winner” or lose your job in this economy you might as well off yourself. You can’t solve new problems with old solutions, our system and government is WAY behind technology and automation and Yang understands that. Yangs proposal is a lot better then what we have now which is nothing at all but greedy politics and corporations that care nothing less about the everyday struggles of the people and the economy.
@@Demiurge66 I understand ur point but wouldn't it better to right the wrongs, bring back offshored jobs and make people productive and prosperous? Sounds like a long shot. But so does UBI. AI doesn't make sense unless they are phasing out humans and AI will serve itself! Sounds like Skynet!
@@mikeporro3311 No, because the nature of capitalism is to ensure the bottom line is robust at all costs, and that's not bringing back off-shore jobs. The future is here and it won't be denied.
@@mikeporro3311 You don't get it. This is the late stage of capitalism. Capitalists aren't bringing back off-shore jobs when robots will eventually do them better, sorry. Time to wake up.
Wrong. It will be an income cap. I'd say around $25k single and $35k married couple. It's basically for those who don't pay tax saying they can pay buy buying more. Of course they will also remove the tax credits so they don't work and make $5k a year and get a $10k refund.
I'm with Joe on this. When I first heard about his ubi plan I thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. After actually listening to him talk about I'm instead thinking "This guy is going to save the world". Yang 2020!
Imagine how many homeless people will be taken off the streets with UBI. Even in places like San Francisco or LA. A few guys can pool their UBi and get a modest place together.
@Jamie Kinthaert Everyone knows San Fran is expensive. Either you are trying to make a joke, which is over done and not funny, or you just have the wrong info. There are studio apartments or even 1 bedrooms for about $3000 and under.
I was definitely sceptical at first but after watching just one of his more serious videos, I am hooked and am determined to vote for him. It's interesting how we are conditioned to be ok that we are spending trillions of dollars for our military and defense, and that multi-trillion dollar companies are getting tax-cuts, for-profit prisons and pharmaceutical companies making so much profit out of the poor and the sick without contest. It's time we wake up and finally realise that we deserve to get something back. We all deserve to earn a little more and have less stress in paying for student loans, that expensive car repair we've been putting off, health insurance with dental and vision, saving up for our children's education, finally affording to go on vacation to broaden our cultural experiences, or heck, trying out that local posh seafood restaurant that we can never afford to dine in. Let's make this happen guys!
~ Pay close attention to and consider Yang's proposal to give each registered US voter a subsidized $100 per year to donate to whichever candidate(s) they determine will best serve their community or their children's interests. My rough estimate, that is 28 billion dollars worth of campaign funding in the hands of US voters. This "proletariat lever" easily out weighs the 3.4 billion of total corporate lobbying in 2018. This addresses a power imbalance and puts policy making back into the collective voter's hands.
This guy makes a lot of sense. It's funny to see people comment that don't even have close to the knowledge and education this guy has in economics. They assume is that people will be getting free money and won't be working, which is pretty sad. This is the 21st century, time to progress and accept that the world is changing and certain things need to be met in order to keep up with these changes.
Not only that but it will give artists, creators, and inventors a way to support themselves while still having time to build things that will eventually benefit the world and create profit later. People can't invest into turning hobbies and passions into tangible businesses right now without fear of becoming homeless, which is something increased minimum wage certainly won't fix.
I like the UBI, but it is only a bandaid solution-in order to truly give workers the power, we need to be given a share of the means of production and distribution, if we are to not be trampled on by the elite. I still donated a buck. But I want more worker co-ops.
We need to get rid of centralized government and implement direct democracy via blockchain (liquid democracy). UBI is great but we need to redistribute company shares rather than wealth. Corporations are amoral, they only seek to secure the interests of their stockholders, so give that power back to the people rather than going after them with regulations.
Yang wants to replace our current democracy with "democracy dollars", $100 from the government per citizen which can be donated to the candidate of their choice / preventing candidates from taking corporate and big money funding. Elon Musk mentioned having a block chain flat direct democracy on Mars though.
Here he talks about overturning Citizens United to end SuperPACS and corporate dark money political campaigns funding www.yang2020.com/policies/overturning-citizens-united/
Mark Schmidt I think Yang is a step in the right direction for sure, but when it comes down to it I think Churchill was right, democracy is a bad system of government, it's just the rest are the worse. Sure it's mob rule, but the way I see it, at this point it's either the people rule or *they* rule. Flawed as we are, at least we have our own interests at heart, which is more than I can say for *them* and their ilk.
One of those robots will take at least 3 or 4 jobs since they never stop with only a handful of maintenance and software workers for every few dozen machines in contrast.
Did this video go up today in response to Joe Rogan's You Tube Channel being shut down? It's such a good interview, but I hate that people who aren't tapped into Yang's RUclips channel may not see this without the link.
Unfortunately, the kind of $ he's talking about ($1000 per month per person) is much LESS than many welfare programs provide. It wouldn't begin to replace ALL of those programs he talks about eliminating. Hundreds of special insterest groups would demand, and get, both.
i’m 14 and very interested in politics, normally i’m right leaning but if yang runs in 2024 (i’ll be 18) unless there is a really good republican candidate i’m voting for him no doubt
It’s not a thing of opinion, research indicates crime is not linked with poverty, but it is linked with relative poverty (which is different in a substancial way)
@@dotexe4981 " I think most crimes are commited because of poverty and desperation." Has got to be one of the dumbest things I've read in months. There is no empirical research that shows that this assertion is true. There are many poor/impoverished areas in the US that are not crime ridden.
@@dotexe4981 I have traveled around the world and two, that's not how empirical evidence works. That would be anecdotal evidence. The science is clear, poverty does not mean high crime.
Man it would’ve been nice to have Yang as President as oppose to someone who can barely put a sentence together or someone who complains about voter fraud.

Train by day!!!! This excellent podcast was how I found out about Andrew Yang. Highly recommend watching the full episode if you haven't already
OMG! As an outsider, I've never ever seen so much positivity & synchronised agreements from US citizens on US President candidates, and certainly, never binge watch any of them until Andrew Yang.
All the best Andrew and praying for your victory.
#YangGangMalaysia 🇲🇾
i first learned of Andrew Yang from this podcast and it was a good listen.
Yang made me realize Bernie is just preaching and the other candidates are ignorant of the technology revolution happening now. I hope he gets more acknowledged during this run.
1.2 mil on private jets this campaign so far
Yang better run again in 2024
I AM VOTING FOR YANG! MONEY, HEALTH CARE AND WEED!
I can’t believe this was 5 yrs ago, man where you at ? America needs you!
He started the Forward Party
Miss this man!
Though he may be the most underdog candidate of all, I like his ideas and hope he can make a difference.
Hey, I'm a 49 year old, prior service, GED, truck driver :D
You've had plenty of time to learn more skills than how to drive a truck. Plenty of time to save and plan for your future. You fucked up and want a bailout. So does everyone else, instead of hunkering down and putting in the work
@NorthernCaliWay Ya see. Truck driver first, save, then learn a new skill. You dont even need $1k a month. Everyone else would just stay in the truck driver job because its easy, and complain later when they're 49 that they need extra money because their only skill has been replaced by a robot (or younger person).
More hard working people like you, less people begging for a govt hand out
@@quietlike This is cute and all but how realistic is this?
quietlike do you understand how expensive it is to go to college? if you live in a middle of nowhere town and your parents lose their jobs bc the factories moved to southeast asia? it’s a lot harder than saving up for a few years.
@@ameliaheppe3990 read the response above. College is likely the reason a lot of younger kids are broke. Unnecessary for most debt servitude for almost all.. Thank govt intervention for the unaffordability. Only has gotten less effective and more expensive since govt got its greedy hands on the industry with the inception of the dept of education. Theres a reason why the richest people didnt go to college.
There are tons of online courses, trade schools, apprentice programs, workshops available.
The people not falling underwater have built side hustles part time. 10 hrs a week is enough to get most started, either side hustling or learning a new skill. Theres 168 hours in a week, 10-20 hours is completely reasonable. How many hours are you SPENDING on entertainment? How much time are you INVESTING in yourself to learn a new skill? Its a mindset.
And cost? Online courses range from a few hundred to a few thousand. People have no problem getting 6 figures into debt for a worthless degree, but think its impossible to save a few thousand for a complete course as they go into debt for iphones, tvs, and cars. Priorities
How many cups of starbucks, movies passes, dinners, and worthless crap have you spent your money on?
Yangsters for economic patriotism! Yang gang fight for everyday Americans! Join us regardless of your party affiliation!
Thomas Gant where do I sign up
As an entrepreneur myself, I can image the UBI could help with many aspects of the people and society. It's like the feel that I invent/perceive a brilliant idea and later establish a startup company to implement it.
Exactly, UBI would give you the power (and resources) to start your business. If hundreds of people follow suit, the industry would be competitive and keep prices lower.
Agree ...... #Yanggang2020
that's awesome that joe got you on. great exposure (its funny that i'm subbed to you and not joe tho lol)
keep rockin, Ser Andrew!
I listenned to every single word of this interview. We need to vote Yang.
I have been watching some of Dianne Sawyer's documentaries ..HIDDEN AMERICA. It so hard for people .. eg over 100,000 people a year sell their blood plasma to make ends meet. Quite depressing actually. I pray that this young man wins. $1000 a month is nothing for some folks but it would be like a gift from God for so many others.
HUMANITY FIRST.💝💝💝
May God's Blessings be with you Andrew Yang. Your parents did a wonderful job
I'm a Republican But I will vote Yang.
You'll vote yang? So your for killing babies?
@Imaru Lewis Yang is for killing babies. Having an aborition is killing a baby with a heartbeat, hands and feet, fingernails and a unique genetic makeup. you do understand that just because a baby is in the womb doesnt change the fact that it is a bay right?
@@Grindor225 is there really proof that babies are dying in those wars? For the record im conservitive but I'm completly anti war.
I'm a fiscal conservative and social Democrat. I want my guns, I'm for abortion, and cut back on welfare
Register Democrat so you can vote in the primaries plz
Joe, when are you going to invite Andrew Yang back on your show for a progress/update interview?
He is very smart. Will make a fantastic POTUS.
You could take the ubi and flip houses in Detroit.
We judge people based on the quality of their mind and the quality of their heart. Yang has a great amount of both, which is rare in politics.
I think its more of a mental health aspect. It really isn't about the money, its more about peoples mental health and how money brings more stress to people. Creating a UBI for people across the board would help change peoples mindset than anything.
Imagine a guy who before running for office actually bothers to do the reading about the social problems of the country.
Please Andrew. Please keep pushing for this. You're gonna fall on your face so much because the people in power don't want this. But if you get enough people talking about it you can enact real POSITIVE change :)
Yang gang!!
I am super conservative yet I love this mans ideas!!
The most underrated US presidential nominee in the 21st Century.
I was preaching to my friends and family about why UBI is necessary and how dangerous automation could be if we have no plan. They went from denying everything I was saying to finally seeing its truth amidst this pandemic and claiming that they always believed it
Man, I've heard of automation years ago from my college Math professor back in 2010, who has a full time career in that field in automation of vehicles. This has to be our president of our future as he see's this coming as of right now.
Joe "I've Done a Complete 180" Rogan
I’m a Trump supporter but Andrew Yang is probably one of my favorite democratic candidates. UBI is an idea that we should definitely look into in the near future.
“We are going through a revolution, you rather going through it than going under it. “ Andrew Yang 2020
The first few sentences Joe Said reminded me of The Dark Knight when Bruce was having a party to support Dent’s campaign & Bruce gave his little speech. Same vibes
Term limits is the answer. Pelosi, Schumer, Biden have been in control for over 40 years and politics has never been so bad
Our next president!
Sounds like a terrible idea but look at the facts and they will answer your questions.
Angel Chavez - Wormeaful It cant be any worse then what’s in place now, this system is set up for the rich to get richer and if you’re not a “winner” or lose your job in this economy you might as well off yourself. You can’t solve new problems with old solutions, our system and government is WAY behind technology and automation and Yang understands that. Yangs proposal is a lot better then what we have now which is nothing at all but greedy politics and corporations that care nothing less about the everyday struggles of the people and the economy.
@@Demiurge66 I understand ur point but wouldn't it better to right the wrongs, bring back offshored jobs and make people productive and prosperous? Sounds like a long shot. But so does UBI. AI doesn't make sense unless they are phasing out humans and AI will serve itself! Sounds like Skynet!
@@mikeporro3311 No, because the nature of capitalism is to ensure the bottom line is robust at all costs, and that's not bringing back off-shore jobs. The future is here and it won't be denied.
@@Khymeira The future is Communism? U have no idea what u are asking for....or do u?
@@mikeporro3311 You don't get it. This is the late stage of capitalism. Capitalists aren't bringing back off-shore jobs when robots will eventually do them better, sorry. Time to wake up.
Would someone who makes money also get $12,000 a year? Because if so I'm down.
yes, that is the idea of UBI. it is universal.
Wrong. It will be an income cap. I'd say around $25k single and $35k married couple. It's basically for those who don't pay tax saying they can pay buy buying more. Of course they will also remove the tax credits so they don't work and make $5k a year and get a $10k refund.
Perfect distillation of his platform - great editing. Thanks for posting this!
I'm with Joe on this. When I first heard about his ubi plan I thought it was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. After actually listening to him talk about I'm instead thinking "This guy is going to save the world".
Yang 2020!
Same.
This is equivalent to Lincoln freeing slaves. Like, there is no turning back once UBI is implemented.
Retake history please
I absolutely love Andrew Yang
andrew yang is the first candidate I am rooting for in all my years of living,23 atm
Imagine how many homeless people will be taken off the streets with UBI. Even in places like San Francisco or LA. A few guys can pool their UBi and get a modest place together.
@Jamie Kinthaert Everyone knows San Fran is expensive. Either you are trying to make a joke, which is over done and not funny, or you just have the wrong info. There are studio apartments or even 1 bedrooms for about $3000 and under.
100% brother
“We’re gonna get to a point where ai can do some basic coding”.
Wow this aged really well, codex can already do better coding than I can.
When this guy says "I ran the numbers" - I believe him...
😂
I was definitely sceptical at first but after watching just one of his more serious videos, I am hooked and am determined to vote for him.
It's interesting how we are conditioned to be ok that we are spending trillions of dollars for our military and defense, and that multi-trillion dollar companies are getting tax-cuts, for-profit prisons and pharmaceutical companies making so much profit out of the poor and the sick without contest. It's time we wake up and finally realise that we deserve to get something back. We all deserve to earn a little more and have less stress in paying for student loans, that expensive car repair we've been putting off, health insurance with dental and vision, saving up for our children's education, finally affording to go on vacation to broaden our cultural experiences, or heck, trying out that local posh seafood restaurant that we can never afford to dine in. Let's make this happen guys!
Yang Gang
~ Pay close attention to and consider Yang's proposal to give each registered US voter a subsidized $100 per year to donate to whichever candidate(s) they determine will best serve their community or their children's interests. My rough estimate, that is 28 billion dollars worth of campaign funding in the hands of US voters. This "proletariat lever" easily out weighs the 3.4 billion of total corporate lobbying in 2018. This addresses a power imbalance and puts policy making back into the collective voter's hands.
very well spoken, and solid strategy for improving people's lives
Yang is one of the best thinkers and problem solvers
I just watched your town hall on CNN 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
wonder how many people who were against UBI last year are now praying for it....
YangGang are BREATHTAKING
It's like paying criminals to do more crime.
The Iraq war costs would pay for all his programs many times over.
We had so many stores close in my area. Even big chain stores. There's less and less brick and mortar anything left.
Wish I had spent more time listening to Andrew.
i will vote for this man
This guy makes a lot of sense. It's funny to see people comment that don't even have close to the knowledge and education this guy has in economics. They assume is that people will be getting free money and won't be working, which is pretty sad. This is the 21st century, time to progress and accept that the world is changing and certain things need to be met in order to keep up with these changes.
Not only that but it will give artists, creators, and inventors a way to support themselves while still having time to build things that will eventually benefit the world and create profit later. People can't invest into turning hobbies and passions into tangible businesses right now without fear of becoming homeless, which is something increased minimum wage certainly won't fix.
I like the UBI, but it is only a bandaid solution-in order to truly give workers the power, we need to be given a share of the means of production and distribution, if we are to not be trampled on by the elite. I still donated a buck. But I want more worker co-ops.
He is 100% right
We need to get rid of centralized government and implement direct democracy via blockchain (liquid democracy). UBI is great but we need to redistribute company shares rather than wealth. Corporations are amoral, they only seek to secure the interests of their stockholders, so give that power back to the people rather than going after them with regulations.
Yang wants to replace our current democracy with "democracy dollars", $100 from the government per citizen which can be donated to the candidate of their choice / preventing candidates from taking corporate and big money funding. Elon Musk mentioned having a block chain flat direct democracy on Mars though.
Here he talks about overturning Citizens United to end SuperPACS and corporate dark money political campaigns funding www.yang2020.com/policies/overturning-citizens-united/
Mark Schmidt I think Yang is a step in the right direction for sure, but when it comes down to it I think Churchill was right, democracy is a bad system of government, it's just the rest are the worse. Sure it's mob rule, but the way I see it, at this point it's either the people rule or *they* rule. Flawed as we are, at least we have our own interests at heart, which is more than I can say for *them* and their ilk.
@@IndigoXYZ18 agreed
Just saw Boston dynamics new robo-worker video, it’s happening!
link for lazy: ruclips.net/video/5iV_hB08Uns/видео.html
One of those robots will take at least 3 or 4 jobs since they never stop with only a handful of maintenance and software workers for every few dozen machines in contrast.
Yangis the Manis!
Dang, I got Yang addition
Did this video go up today in response to Joe Rogan's You Tube Channel being shut down? It's such a good interview, but I hate that people who aren't tapped into Yang's RUclips channel may not see this without the link.
UBI is by all means a much more favorable alternative to the welfare state. All pro-free market people should be behind this idea 100%
Unfortunately, the kind of $ he's talking about ($1000 per month per person) is much LESS than many welfare programs provide. It wouldn't begin to replace ALL of those programs he talks about eliminating. Hundreds of special insterest groups would demand, and get, both.
Go Yang.
You could even use your ubi and start a business on eBay. Good side hustle.
I'm writing him in. He seems to be the only politician with foresight
Wow I just gave this guy 7 minutes of my time and I’m a believer now. I’m with the yang gang
You're quite naive.
@@906-x3w why?
I’m a displaced teacher with a college degree and can’t find a job. UBI could be the Renaissance we’ve been needing for a while.
wow, his plans are well thought out and clear. Something that is unique to the democratic campaign.
@Limmamikegamma60 what's so wrong with his freedom dividend plan?
It's crazy, so crazy it makes perfect sense.
I like yang!
I love this brilliant man!!! Yang gang baby!!!
i’m 14 and very interested in politics, normally i’m right leaning but if yang runs in 2024 (i’ll be 18) unless there is a really good republican candidate i’m voting for him no doubt
#HangWithYang2020
so much better than pander with Sanders
I disagree with Joe Rogan, I think most crimes are commited because of poverty and desperation. Most criminals are poor.
It’s not a thing of opinion, research indicates crime is not linked with poverty, but it is linked with relative poverty (which is different in a substancial way)
@@gabriell7640 Do you not understand what ''relative'' means? This has to be the dumbest comment I've read in months.
@@dotexe4981 " I think most crimes are commited because of poverty and desperation."
Has got to be one of the dumbest things I've read in months. There is no empirical research that shows that this assertion is true. There are many poor/impoverished areas in the US that are not crime ridden.
@@FreedomOfTħought Go travel around the world and you will understand what I mean.
@@dotexe4981 I have traveled around the world and two, that's not how empirical evidence works. That would be anecdotal evidence. The science is clear, poverty does not mean high crime.
Joe-- have Yang back on for another interview!!! 🙏
YANG 2020!!!!!
When you realize Andrew Yangs UBI would have solved the covid crisis jobless issue
No, it would just make people more lazy and dependent.
3:03 We are at that point *now* (in 2024) where ChatGPT can code.
GET AT IT
I'm a republican but Andrew Yang seems like a great candidate.
Man it would’ve been nice to have Yang as President as oppose to someone who can barely put a sentence together or someone who complains about voter fraud.
