You can tell this guy hasn’t been running around politics his whole career. Doesn’t mix his words, doesn’t sugarcoat things, doesn’t try to deceive you or tap into rhetoric, just speaks cold hard facts with his bubbly and down to earth personality. We got lucky with Yang, America. Let’s not squander this opportunity.
We definitely need much more authenticity in every aspect of our lives. It's the same rhetoric inside corporations. It's like living The Emperor's New Clothes and being the only guy looking at the naked, deluded leader and knowing if you speak up, you'll be ostracized irrevocably.
@BLAIR M Schirmer I love seeing people throw out random shit like this without providing any evidence to back it up. So cute how much you can blindly hate.
I’m a historically conservative Marine Vet who voted for Trump, but will be voting for Andrew Yang in 2020. I’ve never been so excited about a candidate and have never contributed financially before this campaign. I know there are many more like me doing the same.
Same here Phil. Never contributed to a campaign until now. I missed two federal elections, contacted my voter registration office to get me back online, and I'm ready to vote for him in the primaries. Yang definitely got us excited, especially when I saw his conversation with Tucker Carlson Fox News, Joe Rogan, and a great conversation with Ben Shapiro.
We can only hope Republicans switch parties to vote in the primary to surprise everyone. That’s a big part of what happened in the last election for trump and the republican primary.
Joyce, the same for me. We have to transform the hope energy into action. I have been canvassing ( Yanging people ) and donate each month to the campaign.
Mayor Pete IS young and angers when challenged or criticized. Andrew Yang is mature and educates the challengers with stats and facts. This country needs a smart-quick grownup sense of humor to make us mindful of our humanity.
I've recently been "sold" on Andrew Yang, just listening to his long form interviews, which he is not scared to do. He has no baggage. He is smart and "progressive" in a true sense of the word. There are so many hit pieces out there about how he is a kook. There was an article I read lamenting how crazy it is that he has 76 policy proposals on his website. Like, what? If he wants to be president shouldn't he have proposals for everything that pertains to the country, rather than a few soundbites about free college and how evil billionaires are? Our country doesn't do depth and nuance well. M.A.T.H. indeed!
@@permaculturemom8706 No, she is the daughter of a conservative holy roller here in Hawaii. He was also active in politics until people stopped giving him a chance as they were sick and tired of his Reichwingnutter diatribes. She is the nut which didn't fall far from the tree. She was a stealth candidate. Glad people saw through her BS and said....."You're fired".
This man has policies to the ceiling. I've donated to his campaign and I'm voting for him in the primaries. He's humble, intelligent, and NOT a politician, just an entrepreneur who cares for his country and his children.
Jeff Bezos and other billionaires have been talking about ubi for a while. And as late capitalism leaves more and more in poverty you will see more and more billionaires and corporations pushing UBI. UBI is a form of life and house insurance for ultra-rich. A capitalist tool to protect their power. Billionaires are pushing it for a reason. I know a lot of yang supporters and UBI supporters are lost progressives. Dont fall for that right wing ideal. Look into real solutions to late capitalism. There are plenty of good post capitalism ideals in left wing ideologys.

@@coffymix2269 none of the 'looney' candidates want open borders dumbass. Please stop bringing up false facts. Yang has his own ideology on border policies. but Bernie has the best. I like Yang, but i LOVE Sanders
People aren't poor because they're lazy or drug addicts. They're poor because they don't have money. They're plenty of non-poor people who are lazy and on drugs. We should be helping all of them get on a path forward regardless.
illnesses of dispair. Same thing that Chris Hedges talks about. Self-destruction because of lack of hope, opportunity and self-esteem. Drugs, gambling, violence... you name it.

Lifelong conservative republican trump voter, voting for/supporting #Yang 100% 💯...I like a lot of what he says and I really like him as a person. I held my nose and voted for trump because I hated Hilary, but it didn’t feel good to vote for Trump. It came with a lot of frustration over the way he talks and tweets. Yang is everything I wanted trump to be: a non politician with interesting and new ideas. Trump has done a pretty good job with the economy, and now I feel that it’s time for Yang to take this economy and move forward. The main thing I really like about Yang is that he never says unkind things about republicans or conservatives. He speaks about all Americans equally, not painting trump voters with a broad brush or name calling (racist, sexist, etc). I’m female and don’t play or like identity politics, so I didn’t feel I wanted to vote for Hilary for the mere fact that she shared the same genitalia as me - I really didn’t like her as a person and knew she was a corrupt lifelong politician - hence the vote for trump. Yang really seems to understand that about conservatives and republicans and trump voters - we aren’t racist sexist crazy people, a lot of us didn’t really like him all that much but felt we’d take a chance on trump because Hilary was just that bad. Yang has my full support now - he’s an awesome person, I really like his personality and how kind he is, he seems really relatable and normal, and his policies are so fresh, interesting, and benefit everyone equally - no matter the race or income level. We all win. We all feel invested into the country that we love and have built. It also gives purpose and dignity to stay at home moms, like me - his policies are truly #winning ;)
As a Social Democrat former Berner now in Yang's camp, in a conservative state/town, I hear you and know a lot of folks like you who I hope will also seriously look into Yang and come to know him and his campaign the way we have. Thanks for sharing this. ❤
Only three times in the history of The Atlantic magazine have they endorsed a candidate for president. Abraham Lincoln, I forget the second and Hilary Clinton. Only in the case of Abraham Lincoln did they endorse a candidate as the best candidate. While in the other two cases it was an endorsement of the better of two.
This is seriously the best interview I've seen so far. The more I see Yang interviews the more I appreciate his demeanor, genuinity and wisdom. One of the few candidates who I believe when he says he want's to work with other candidates to strive for a better America. Not caring about party differences, but achieving the goals and helping Americans.
Andrew Yang's biggest issue is he isn't well recognized. I was telling my friends about Andrew Yang and they were like "Andrew who"? I need new friends lol
Even at this stage of the game? Wow. I suppose the media completely disrespecting him and not giving him proportional coverage doesn't exactly help. Shameful. : (
I tried to tell mine about him and they called him an idiot and that he knows nothing about basic economics. I wanted to punch them so bad. No matter how much I tried to convince them they either denied the facts or made up stupid excuses.
Says something doesn't it? When we've become so expecting of dishonesty as an automatic character trait of Presidential hopefuls. It's really refreshing to listen to someone like Andrew being so considerate and desiring better opportunities for the American populous without any ulterior motive.
For the Berners out there watching this and admiring Yang and perhaps feeling a little conflicted, I know where you're coming from, I was there myself back in November '18 through February of this year. It took me a few months to make the hop over into Yang's camp as a Berner but hop I did. I found what I was really looking for in a candidate in Yang! I even wondered if I was betraying Bernie, but I simply could no longer deny Yang's appeal and his importance. I couldn't not support him. From his youth, energy, regular-guy feel and heartfelt, compassionate, sincere, actual desire to help our country (compared to every other corporate, neoliberal garbage candidate throughout our history), the straightforward, honest way he answers questions (unpolitician-like), his fresh and unprecedented particular perspective and diagnoses of our problems, and his 70+ and growing policies (back then) written out on his website, and more, I knew he was onto something, and would be a contender. I'd never ever seen a candidate like him. I knew he had to be heard far and wide in this race! It's been fun to be an og Yang Gang and watch his campaign grow like wildfire! Go to yanglinks.com to get answers & video links to the all the FAQs. And just throw him a monthly buck or 5! I set up monthly auto donations of $1 each to Yang, Bernie, Marianne, and Tulsi. Plus merch purchases from Yang. Every little bit helps!
Kit M berners admire yang from afar. It’s like being married but finding yourself attracted to another person. Very conflicting. I don’t blame them if they stay loyal.
Kit M I also don’t blame people if they fall in love with someone else than who they’re with. Heart wants what it wants. Nothing wrong with berners who turn to the yang gang. We are younger, more beautiful, and smarter.
Until last night, if I had voted for anyone it would have been Bernie. Andrew was extremely impressive last night. Logical, intelligent, aware but also affable. I'm so tired of all the yelling, from everybody.
I'm still a Bernie supporter, but I wouldn't mind Yang being in his administration. I would even be willing to support him in the future, but right now, Sanders is what we need to bring the United States to where it needs to be in terms of climate change, medicare for all, and campaign finance reform.
Yang is brilliant, honest, straightforward and compassionate. His ideas and policies are so sensible that many Americans easily relates to him. Freedom Dividend, Democracy Dollars, GDP based on Human Value, and so many policies that will be a game changer to many Americans and the Country.
He's well motivated, but his policies have glaring flaws. "Freedom Dividend" Fails to close the income gap, it merely shifts it while leaving many people in poverty behind int hat shift by forcing them to give up current aid to receive it. "Democracy Dollars" Doesn't compete with millions the people already buying politics can dump into the system. "GDP based on Human Value" Not feasible. While human's deserve to be valued, you can't trade that with other nations. I would like to see Yang as Bernie's HUD secretary. Let him get more experience actually dealing with people in poverty instead of tossing out only half developed ideas.
Jimi G FD is the most progressive and effective policy to lift people and communities from poverty. ruclips.net/video/dJpaKskqnmg/видео.html. Democracy Dollars can crush big money's grip on American politics. GDP based on Human Value will make people realize that their physical, mental and all-around well being should be the right measurement of any economic progress made. Bernie's solutions to problems are outdated.
@@rainieresguerra7486 1.) What is the "value" of a human? 2.) New != Good 3.) How are they outdated? 4.) You didn't address any of Yang's glaring policy flaws 5.) He analyzed the situation somewhat decently but doesn't say what he will do directly. He gives detailed descriptive claims but not equally or more prescriptive ones from a 1st person perspective. It's like a car has an issue and he explains why the car is malfunctioning in his opinion whilst going into a brief history of cars in general before saying we need a new form of transportation anyway. While not wrong your car is *still* broken down and he didn't repair it.
Great Interview! As a firm Yang Gang member, I"ve heard the same stuff over and over again as people ask him the skin deep stuff. Thanks for providing new content!

@David That is where the VAT comes in 10% tax of luxury goods. Jeff Bezos only has to spend $120,000 in a year on goods and then anything after is gravy that the government redistributes to the middle and lower class. He will spend $120,000 in the first week and then 10% of the rest of his purchases end up on the middle class. Try not to look at UBI alone its UBI + VAT together, each alone will not work, but together they can!
@@atrainderailed7777 ubi is capitalism. Bezos will still be a billionaire. most will still be poor. workers wont have there labor as a bargaining chip in future capitalism. socialism is the only way forward.
@@mr.anderson1454 I guess we have a fundamental difference, I personally don't believe that billionaires should exist. I believe capitalism is a gamble and I don't think the people that win the lottery should get their winnings taken away. It was their choice to gamble and they got lucky. Fair enough good for them. What I do believe is that they need to pay their fair share in taxes, just like I do, and they shouldn't be allowed to hide from taxes. I think the VAT will accomplish my requirements.
I don't want to downplay Kate, but Matt Tiabbi is definitely someone you should follow. His book Griftopia is a good 10 yrs old and addresses a lot of issues that only Sanders and Yang address, how the super rich buy politicians and screw everyone in the process.

Yang is the visionary human leader we have been starved for. Support his candidacy and get your friends to do the same. Your life will be changed forever for the better.
Show me one thing on the Yang platform that's visionary. Don't bother saying UBI, that's been around for a long time, and as he said, he got the idea from others talking about it. Visionary, is a candidate telling the truth: M4A is going to cost: Bernie Sanders.
@@jimbalio Is that a dodge? Are you under the impression that in order to support Yang's policies you need to read his book first, because communicating his ideas to the voting public is his job, and if he can't or won't do that, there's a problem. My issue with Yang isn't that he's not likable but more related to how much help he intends to offer is defeating corporate control of our government. I can see his appeal to libertarians or anyone who believes we can live peacefully with the 'benevolent' wealthy, but I don't believe that's a possibility, so I'm asking if Yang has a plan for that and perhaps I've missed it. For the record, even Bernie isn't far enough left for me in that respect; he a start though, and I don't think Yang is at all. Bernie has a long history that we can examine and has been more consistent for decades on crucial points than any other candidate in my long life. For this reason I trust Bernie Sanders far more than any other candidate, though the bar is very low.

@@Americansikkunt Who's a politician? Yang? I think you need to be successfully elected into a seat of political office to be considered a politician. You're not a politician by running to become President any more than applying for medical school suddenly makes you a doctor before you're even accepted. Do you prepare for the work ahead of time? Of course. You do this for everything. But does that make you the thing you're preparing for? No. It does not. Now if you're using the term in a derogatory sense to imply all politicians lie, I'd like to challenge that all humans lie, but putting on your best face is something professional that you should do regardless of your background. You're not lying by putting your best foot forward and it's not in your best interest to intentionally start the conversation with the worst side of you. You're meaninglessly handicapping yourself. That's not a politician thing, that's a reasonable human thing to do. All that said, you don't need to go into super detail to parse out whether a conversation is genuine or not. Yang was relaxed here, made jokes, but also discussed a very real problem with real solutions. Instead of approaching all conversations with the mindset of "Oh it's a politician doing politician-y things, they're just talking fluff", actually pick out where the "fluff" is. If you want examples, look to Amy Klobuchar. She is full of empty platitudes that have no substance. Things like "United we stand! Divided we fall!", but what does that even mean practically speaking? Contrast this to Yang's "Automation is killing our jobs; let's create more organically through UBI and people will use the money for car repair, child care, health care, little league sign-ups, and more". You can very clearly pick out where he states the problem and the solution. Agree with it or not, there's no fluff there. Now, if you're apolitical and have no interest in what anyone says no matter what, then I think you may be watching the wrong video.
@@Americansikkunt Yang seems more like an engineer or a doctor than a politician. I think he is very genuine and smart regardless of his standing in the presidential race.
@M C Andrew Yang started from an unknown person, and now he is in the 3rd places compares to those very famous in the White House in 8 months. It's amazing moving of Andrew Yang.
@M C I've seen you around on Yang videos a lot. I also see you on Rising sometimes. Do you support Bernie? Cool. I respect him too; voted for him in 2016, but probably not in 2020. He's always meant well, but his policies seriously need updating. Yang's support is far and wide and incredibly diverse racially, socioeconomically, and politically, thanks to the Internet. The DNC-approved polls are always lagging on current trends and they're sampling landlines that most Americans who are engaged in politics don't use anymore. Besides, those who do answer can decline to participate in them. Some of the few Yang Gang who do answer don't usually get to pick him from the choices. Outdated, tiny-sample polls don't prove anything. Election betting odds aren't any guarantee, yet they still outclass these polls historically. Yet despite everything, Yang has been consistently climbing in those dead-inaccurate polls, bit by bit. He's gone from a meager nobody to 6th place and now 5th nationally. When a poll does factor in online polling with Yang as an option, he hits top 4. Thanks, FiveThirtyEight. He's recently been diving straight into ad buys the past few months. It's only a matter of time. Yang IS moving forward, and his campaign trail won't be over until he's at his inauguration.

@@misterr50 "we must in the very least have a bandaid" you summed it up perfectly. capitalism will end very soon on its course. we already have a socialist with a chance to be president. that's Pretty crazy in its self. we will have socialism in America soon. billionaires like jeff Bezos see and fear this. they now are starting to push ubi themselves. they understand ubi is a way to keep capitalism a float and preserve there power and stop us from ever having meaningful changes in our society. if they keep capitalism a float another 100 years it will be over for most people. the capitalist will own and control everything including us. we will be forced to be thankful for whatever basic life our capitalist overlords decide is basic enough for us. the only way forward in the 21st century that works for everyone and not a small number of capitalist oligarchs is to end capitalism. you will see late capitalism send more and more into poverty and socialism will become more and more popular. than you will see more and more billionaire capitalist and corporations start to push ubi. ubi is a form of house and life insurance for the ultra-rich capitalist.

@@zekebanister865 look harder into the effects of ubi. Keep in mind that he's talking about also removing about 1.5 trillion dollars in existing welfare programs; not exactly someone trying to make everyone dependent on government. It's also very different from the communist history you're referring too in that he isn't trying to bring any currently private economic sectors and making them government run.
zroysum This is where you are making your mistake my friend.They never unravel their entire plans up front. It is always insidious slowly leaking socialism into our society. One more thing, I don't hear him denouncing abortion at the time of birth. This is hidious. Also, he is for free halth care for illegal aliens. No, we don't get ahead by taking money from people,or corporations who earned it and giving it to people who did not earn it. That is not capitalism. You can call it what you like but it smacks of one huge step toward socialism. He's not going to win anyway so I am pretty much satisfied
Andrew Yang really is the once in a lifetime candidate. If we don't get him in in 2020, I think we'll find out what a mistake it would be when we get behind the curve. #Yang2020
We are already behind the curve. He is our only hope of catching up. Bernie seems like he genuinely has good intentions but he is frankly too old and not knowledgeable enough on technology. Yang for pres, Sanders for VP.
Yang blew me away when I first heard him 12 months ago, and my friends laughed at me when I predicted he will become our president. Yang is not a total long shot anymore. Spread the word. Go Yang!
He's young but he's hitting his prime. I can just see him now finishing up his 2nd term in nine years graying a little on the temples the greatest most noble and wise president in us history
He is such a smart and wise person. Every time someone comes at him, he just diffuses and makes them into a believer. People really need to just listen to him speak. Someone like Yang is hard to come by. He deserves to be respected because he doesn’t seek it. He just wants to make a better world for his two boys.
Very stimulating and not just rehashing. Hopefully, this Spurs Andrew Yang forward. As a Tulsi Gabbard supporter, I think exclusion of these two is the worst that can happen to our democratic process. Katie: You're beautiful! Love you guys. Important inclusions here. Thx
They really are all clever and beautiful! Wow, such a delightful interview. Matt and Andrews’ voices, so articulate, concise and emotionally expressive, Katie’s deep humanity and cheekiness.
Such an informative interviews! Love it when journalists do their homework and ask questions with substance! Folks @MSNBC need to take lessons from you guys!
Al Gore won the election at one point. The Make Every Vote Count campaign happened. So, George Bush Junior stole the election with lawyer tricks. Then later stole more money than anyone in American history using the heads of major banks in backroom deals.
Except for the comment defending impeachment. Considering investigating Biden to be an impeachable offense... think about what authoritarian BS that is... why shouldn't Biden be investigated; it's in the public interest to know if he was up to something shady. Trump was investigated non-stop; there is no reason a competing politician shouldn't be. It's the same BS when they have the nerve to complain about Hillary's emails being leaked, and that influencing the election. They are against an informed public compromising their power... almost like they hate democracy. (Yang towing the party line regarding this bandwagon exposes him as dishonest and unprincipled.)
@@pseudonymous8702 It's not about the investigation. It's about the reason and way it's done. And that's why there is so much debate. The president is SUPPOSED to investigate corruption. However, he is explicitly not allowed to use his executive privilege to further his political career. He is also not allowed to basically extort help from a foreign power by withholding American aide. The issue is not what he did, but when and how. Right before the end of his term he starts pressuring foreign powers to investigate a political rival. If he suspected corruption why not open investigations much earlier? Why involve a foreign nation? Why withhold aide to force their hand? Again, it's not what he did, it's when and how he did it.
The greatest proposal of his is the Democracy Dollars. Think about it, if a candidate trying to get into office whether local, state, or federal and end up with more lobbyist money than their constituents Democracy dollars within a district, what is the underlining conclusion? Right now, we have no idea where candidates gets their funding but with Democracy dollars, we know everything. We might not know the specific person but we will know for example that a candidate of a district with 5k voters only received 2k in Democracy dollars when there are 500k in their district but managed to raised 200k in campaign fund. The candidate will have no choice but the chase the voter for votes and Democracy dollars because thats how voter will view an electable candidate base on the number of Democracy dollars they raised instead of lobbyist money.
@Pick 1 Mike I like him as a person and I think he's an interesting candidate, but I'm interested in mass politics and awakening a labor revival in this country. The only person I see as capable of leading that movement is Bernie. But Andrew Yang is young and he has plenty of years ahead of him. I could def see him running for US Senate from the state of California or future president. And I'm certainly glad his name is now out there.
@@nitin9230 I would have agreed with you if this was 2016 but unfortunately it's too late. The top 4 candidates beside Pete are in their 70s and Bernie coming back from a heart attack is the biggest issue for me. The guy is 78 for God sakes and if he wins, he'll be in his 80 by the time he takes office. The presidency is a brutal job if you want things to get done. Look how much Obama aged in his 8 years in office and he really struggled to gets things through with a combative congress. Bernie needs to retire and enjoy what time he has left with his wife and family and let the young guy take the reign because if any policies were to enact. The young president will live through and actually see the outcome.
I'd like to have two Sanders in administrations and then two Andrew yang administration's to follow it. He would be a great vice president, but Bernie's movement is historic in its size. They have to get together.

Basically under a Bernie plan that does not include nuclear? We won’t win the fight against climate change, we will lose. I can’t accept that. Another issue is the wealth tax has already been a proven failure in multiple European countries, where its been repealed and replaced by the Value Added Tax that Yang proposes. One of the other issues is $15/hr minimum wage..... well we already have that in some parts of the country and it hasn’t done very much for us. It’s better than nothing, but employers still limit hours, so they don’t have to pay for healthcare, so people end up working multiple minimum wage part-time jobs to get by, amounting to full-time work, without any full-time benefits. $15/hr also only helps people who can work in the first place. It does nothing for people with disabilities, or stay-at-home Moms, or other caretakers whose work has value, but is not compensated and doesn’t officially get recognized. UBI would provide the most significant, and direct relief and financial empowerment to individuals, families and communities, it would be far more impactful than a $15/hr minimum wage. Which would you honestly rather have? $15/hr TAXED, or $1K UBI every month UNTAXED, free and clear just for being a human being and a citizen. Which one would help people in your family or community more? Honestly to me there’s not even a real contest and UBI is the clear winner. I’m not confident Bernie could win over Trump, when unlike Yang, he does not get much crossover support- yes he’s polling high among Dems, but Dems aren’t the majority of the country. Bernie’s support base is not as diverse ideologically as Yang’s, which is something that speaks to just how unifying and universally appealing his message and plans are. He has such diverse broad support and its only continuing to grow. If he gets the nomination, we beat Trump!!!! I respect your choice to have stuck with Bernie thus far- but Yang truly does deserve everyone’s serious consideration as a contender. If haven’t already- you should read his full climate change plan. > www.yang2020.com/blog/climate-change/
2 adults in your household = $24k extra every year, 3=$36k, 4=$48k This is serious income you'll have to save, invest, pay off loans, ect. No other candidate is offering anything this impactful to my everyday existance. Yang2020! Let's go
Great interview! $1000/month is much more impactful to the lives of all Americans versus all of the promises of other politicians that focus in on just their voters. With money in the hands of people, we can build up our own local economies, helping small towns and families instead of being dependent on the government to tell us what we need.
@Kelvin T more impactful than M4A, free college, cancel student loan and medical debt, and universal preK. The knee jerk reaction to say let’s help families be as independent of government is kind of a glaring example of cognitive dissonance. By saying let’s adopt UBI you are implicitly pushing for a policy that makes every American dependent on the government that is first done through regressive taxation, second forces some people who are receiving government assistance to choose between the assistance program or the UBI, and lastly pales in comparison to the benefit of a universal healthcare, college, and pre-K policy as well as clearing debt that will have a much greater effect on the economy than UBI. What’s to stop landlords from raising rent let’s say $200/month and food as well as necessities to go up a little bit in which the average family spends $300 more each month. That adds cost to restaurant owners who will have to charge a few more dollars per plate. Before you know it that $1k can be swallowed up with little gain for the majority of people instead the capital class gets to reap the benefits of the UBI. Universal programs from healthcare to college once in place and secured can not be have the same impact of the corrupting force of capital using a few deceitful tactics to take advantage of the UBI for their gain. If you were to get into a car accident that landed you in the hospital or cancer that forced you to get the necessary treatment for survival and even with decent private insurance your over all Bill was $100k and without insurance it was $350k then what is a UBI other than a muzzle on Americans getting what is long overdue and should be recognized as a human right. To allow a private insurance company to look at each human being as a commodity is beyond comprehensible. I urge you to really stop and think who has repeated over and over again the idea that government is a terrible entity that does nothing for its people. The obvious answer is big business. They have not only pushed this idea since the early eighties but also put in place corrupted politicians or former employees in high ranking positions in government to pass legislation that has made it virtually impossible to get any legation that benefits the working class and middle class economically with a socially progressive policy thrown in like the rights for gay marriage to be recognized by the government which is great but not nearly the type of policy that helps society like M4A. I am not saying government without corporate influence is perfect or not prone to corruption as well but it’s much more secure for the majority of politicians are beholden to its constituents rather than big money donors putting their own in positions to represent their interests. To most simply put it is the classic wolf in sheep’s clothing to be overly simplistic. Politicians are corrupted wolves who try to portrait themselves as sheep working for the people and when nothing gets done they point fingers and say “see government is corrupt and doesn’t work for the people. See we need less government and less regulations. Let the free market work as its intended to and it will work for all.” The reality is government doesn’t even have a chance to work because it’s not a government for and by the people, it’s a a well oiled corporate machine that is only works for big business and the people in power are purposely put their to make sure it doesn’t function well so capitalists can continue to feed the BS that has been insidiously marketed to and fed to the public on repeat. The internet has been the mechanism that allowed this to be exposed and understood by anyone willing to let their pride take a back seat to listen to the overwhelmingly obvious truth that our government has been seized by multinational corporations that do not have the best interests in mind. Sorry I went on so long but to conclude Yang seems like a very nice person but the UBI in my mind will end up doing very little to change the systemic corruption that has allowed for our government to be corrupted to the point that the only way out is to support candidates that recognize the survival of our country depends on uprooting the system as we know it and that starts with getting money out of politics and implementing policies that allow for humanity to support one without stripping away ones dignity. There is something very wrong when innovation is going to usher in a dystopian future rather than a utopian one. Once we take care of every human being through healthcare, education, housing, and sustenance then I’m all for a UBI but if me skip those and go right for UBI it’s going to end up having worse results then Yang can imagine.
Kelvin T, exactly! As a single employed mother who makes $16 & struggles to get by, the only Bernie plan that directly helps me is M4A, but that is questionable & dependent on how much more taxes will be taken from my check. I’d rather have the UBI to help pay for rent, groceries, & car insurance.
This was an awesome interview, I enjoyed the relaxed environment, it shows off Yangs down to earth nature and he comes across as very endearing and as a real person not a robotic phony Politician.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 oh I can say that about many current leaders of the world. While public servitude is the idea, many are out for something other than. I hope you and I are making a good and smart choice for our own future individually. Cheers.
Dreamingrightnow - His policies are a clear indicator of why he should *“Run The World”,* which begs the question.....Do we need shit bags to rule the world all the time? (Which has been the norm in America with many of the prior Presidents) How ‘bout we switch it up and try somebody that truly gives a crap about the country and other humans on this planet without having a depraved genocidal drive to represent authority.
This most important part of this interview is starts at 23:40 to 25:52 when Andrew talks about Andy Stern. As a lot time advocate for UBI starting back in 2014 I've admired Andy Stern's work on UBI and I totally agree with him. Now, I was a Tulsi supporter in the beginning but Andrew's policy on Nuclear Power won me over. UBI was a big plus, but also being on board with Molten Salt Reactors aka: MSR using Thorium (aka: LFTR) as a fuel source was the winner. Tulsi talks about ending Regime Change Wars, well a MSR/LFTR does just that. And, if you want to get rid of most of the Nuclear Waste a MSR/LFTR does that. And, if you what to created unlimited Fresh Water a MSR/LFTR does that. And, if you care about Nuclear Medicine, Isotopes for cancer patients, MRI, Pet Scans you need nuclear to do that. People think solar and wind are the 100% answer, and sorry to say this but it is not. Wind turbines need permanent magnets and you can only get that by stripping land. And, with Solar Panels you have to consider all of the toxic materials needed to make them and then all of the Solar Panel waste that's going to exist when these panels life has ended. Now, Solar and wind have a place and are needed but people never seems to think ahead on the issues we are going to have in 20 or 30 years. You need an all of the above approach and that's what Andrew is shooting for. See video below if you want to know more.

johncrab67 Wow! You went OFF! 😂👍👏👏👏 The nuclear power thing is my other #1 reason besides UBI to go with Yang! But I wasn’t as informed as you on the subject, good job! ☺️
Whenever I hear about that Thorium nuclear option, I always seem to hear that it's not viable yet. Not ready to be used yet. Futuristic almost. Is that wrong or is that just scare-mongering by the status quo benificiaries?
@@JecaMasha One of the biggest obstacles to building the Molten Salt Reactors using Thorium as a fuel comes down to who gets to be the Middle Man. During the 1848 California Gold Rush you had gold miners who went out to find gold thinking they would get rich only to have the Middle Men come in and build a town around them and charge them 10 times the normal amount for a meal, a place to live, what ever they needed. So, the miners weren't the ones that got rich, it was the Middle Men. And, the same is true with Thorium. Right now GE owns the processing plants that create Uranium Solid Pellets that they sell to nuclear plants. Our current nuclear reactors can only get a 3% to 5% burn from these GE pellets and yes they leave the world dealing with 90% take or minus a percent nuclear waste (aka: unused fuel) locked in those pellets, that needs to be stored for thousands of years. But hey it's all good, GE is making a ton of money for it owners and shareholders. :( So the current argument is this, the MSR doesn't need a middle man, it's not a solid fuel and GE and GE types don't like that. There's no money for them to make so they oppose it. I'm linking a video below, watch the whole thing. But, really pay attention to the video starting around the the 30 minute mark you see an argument over solid fuel vs liquid. The advocates for Thorium in a liquid from keep asking the lets say, "Vendors" do we really need a pellet? Which there is no need for at all and the whole pellet crap makes the reactor a lot less efficient. But, the Middle Men want their take. And I say, they've already taken too much.

@@johncrab67 Thank you so much, I've been meaning to read up on it, but kept forgetting. Ok, busted. Actually it's mostly, because it reminded me of my bad grades in physics, lol. #shame Will watch :D
When I first found out about him back when the rogan podcast first dropped I couldn’t stop watching anything that had him in it or was about him and his policies. Initially I thought he was crazy, and ignored him. But after a few weeks the idea was planted and I needed to learn about it. So I listened to Andrew. I listened to people analyze andrew’s ideas and plans. It took me months to get on board fully but all the while I couldn’t stop listening to him. Magnetic is a good word.
judaspreistvlct poisoning the well. That’s akin to one person saying “his black hair is so beautiful!” And then someone else saying “hitler had black hair.” And that somehow is suppose to be enough for us to think that now, the person is equal to hitler. You’re a dumbass. Genuinely like able people are magnetic, and some psychopaths are repulsive. You’re here making false equivalencies and hoping other people that are new to the yang gang will see it and believe you. Misinformation, for what purpose? Likely you think yang is bad for the country, but mostly you think he’s bad for you. Selfish reasons. You’re trying to manipulate public opinion for a personal reason. Ironically, that’s what I call psychopathic behavior.
Andrew Yang is the obvious choice when you take the time to listen to his vision. This is a great interview but there are so many more I recommend people take the time to check out.
not so much his vision as he stated. washing post has an article on newly released stats on a UBI program in Africa. I can't read it because you have to buy a subscript but The Hill has a new video discussing same article somewhat. sounds like all results are positive.

@@zekebanister865 "you like free stuff I know", all it takes for us to know u have no idea what your talking about troll. any response to you is probably falling on deaf ears. Do some research on what politicians like Andrew or Bernie are trying to do and how they plan on doing it when you're ready to hear them out.
Travis Scott I know what people like Yang and Sanders are trying to do..it's called Socialism. And Yang has a unique appeal to the young (I could say idiots but I will be kind) and impressionable people who know nothing about Socialism. Do go read about how well Socialism has worked in other countries and then come back and post. Any government big enough to give you most everything that you want is also big enough to control what you say, do and even think!
I grew up on the west coast and currently live on the east coast. The sad fact is that most people living on the coast don't think about people living in the middle of the country and assume it's other people's responsibility. After donald won in 2016, I finally realized I was part of the problem and started donating to the poorest schools in the country through donor's choose. I am so glad andrew yang is running and putting humanity first. I work in tech and the automation is happening. It will be more devastating than the most conservative estimates. We really need to start UBI soon, I don't want to see tens of millions of family starving.
WOW, late to the Yang party. Great getting to know this guy. What's not to like? Make America Think Again. #MATH > I LIKE it! Also love Tulsi, Bernie too. Add Yang to list of sane candidates worth American hope. That is all.
I have Not had ANY Interest in Politics or Lying Politicians in Multiple Decades until I Accidentally came across An Andrew Yang Video in July. Why I gave him more than 10 seconds is beyond me, Once I hear it's a Politician I Click Away but I listened and Now I Will do what I have NOT Done in over 20 years I Will be Voting For Yang.
People will say if you don’t vote the dem nominee your giving it too trump but we gotta show em that yang had our support. If yang don’t get in, we barely gonna see any change, even if Bernie gets in with the fed job guarantee I’m already a government employee with there benifets so 12000 a year please !
bodybalancer Historically speaking, free money doesn’t equate to “financial empowerment, health or happiness”. Do you have any evidence to support your claims? ...Because that is all you’re providing; claims.
@@Americansikkunt There is a lot of evidence. Yang cites multiple studies on most of his policies on his website. Go educate yourself before you show how lazy you are to the world.
I'm not even an american but starting to think about donating...How weird is that 😕 If he looses can he get a polish citizenship to run for presidency? 😅
Lyle Dotson I wish! If only. But I think Sean Evans tries not to bring politics into that show which I completely understand but one can only dream of that scenario
He was planning on going it alone! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!!! Andrew Yang is like nuclear frigging fission. It started with just him, and look what we've got now -- a huge amount of energy, a chain reaction of energy!!!
Lol, what now? There's definitely lot of pump around Yang, but so was there on trump. Is that enough for you, 'cuz this really scares me, this pep rally frenzy. Trumpism has permeated the US political culture.
@Kevin Wayne , a jobs program isn't going to help those that are stay at home parents or caregivers. It does nothing for those that have jobs already. It does nothing for the elderly who deserve to not have to continue working until they die or for the disabled or those who can't work. The labor participation rate is at 63% and there are many unfilled jobs, but not enough people with the skills to fill them. UBI overall will help 94% vs FJG. Does that mean that a Federal Jobs Guarantee is a bad idea? Not at all, but if only one could be picked out of the two of the amount of money it will cost, then the UBI gets more bang for the buck, helping more people and recirculates money back into the economy. A Jobs program or FJG will be a nightmare to implement and once again makes it seem that you have no value if you don't work a traditional job. We already have witnessed what happens to government workers when there is a government shutdown, employees don't get paid until Congress gets their act together impacting employees and their families. So forgive me if the government guaranteeing jobs doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies with their history of not paying employees when there is a shutdown. I do however believe there should be something, but UBI provides for the freedom that we deserve to do what we want to live up to our potential without worrying about our basic needs being taken care of. UBI isn't for "nothing", we are owed that money back for the data that tech companies use and profiting from to the tune of billions of dollars. These companies would not be where they are now without people. They would not be where they are now had it not been for our tax dollars that helped pave the way for the internet and computers and the technology that has evolved since. Yes, those on food stamps would be foregoing food stamps if they opt In to get UBI and they would be better off if they did opt in and free themselves from the intrusiveness of the government dictating what food they can buy and the rules and regulations to qualify. Our welfare system penalizes productivity and any improvement that these recipients make to get financially ahead is hindered when their benefits are cut by the same amount returning them to square one. People will spend the money, and if demand goes up, then companies can hire more workers to increase productivity. So UBI will create millions of jobs as people keep the economy going at a time when jobs due to Automation/AI wipe out jobs leaving fewer jobs to compete for and jobs of the future require more training. #Yang2020 🧢
The other pro-establishment politicians have it built into muscle memory the emotional cliches, while Yang uses evidence data to present his points. The latter takes more effort.
Aharon Yosef Baer THIS. The whole inflation argument is an understandable immediate reaction, but you remove this hinge (that it won’t increase the money supply) it falls apart.

For those hippies that chose to go full throttle on drugs...they died. Take your pick.
You can tell this guy hasn’t been running around politics his whole career. Doesn’t mix his words, doesn’t sugarcoat things, doesn’t try to deceive you or tap into rhetoric, just speaks cold hard facts with his bubbly and down to earth personality. We got lucky with Yang, America. Let’s not squander this opportunity.
Right?! Well said!
We definitely need much more authenticity in every aspect of our lives. It's the same rhetoric inside corporations. It's like living The Emperor's New Clothes and being the only guy looking at the naked, deluded leader and knowing if you speak up, you'll be ostracized irrevocably.

You are a freakin' legend. Well done.
Thank you for being so open minded brother! Make sure to spread the word!
Same here Phil. Never contributed to a campaign until now. I missed two federal elections, contacted my voter registration office to get me back online, and I'm ready to vote for him in the primaries. Yang definitely got us excited, especially when I saw his conversation with Tucker Carlson Fox News, Joe Rogan, and a great conversation with Ben Shapiro.
We can only hope Republicans switch parties to vote in the primary to surprise everyone. That’s a big part of what happened in the last election for trump and the republican primary.
Same, brother
Andrew Yang has given the gift of hope in a time where all hope was gone.
Not only for the US but for the rest of the world as well.
I am so proud that Andrew Yang, an American, is leading the way.
Joyce, the same for me. We have to transform the hope energy into action.
I have been canvassing ( Yanging people ) and donate each month to the campaign.

mmmkay..."all hope was gone"?
Mayor Pete IS young and angers when challenged or criticized. Andrew Yang is mature and educates the challengers with stats and facts.
This country needs a smart-quick grownup sense of humor to make us mindful of our humanity.
Ya, Yang is fairly mature about criticism.
Can’t argue with facts
I've recently been "sold" on Andrew Yang, just listening to his long form interviews, which he is not scared to do. He has no baggage. He is smart and "progressive" in a true sense of the word. There are so many hit pieces out there about how he is a kook. There was an article I read lamenting how crazy it is that he has 76 policy proposals on his website. Like, what? If he wants to be president shouldn't he have proposals for everything that pertains to the country, rather than a few soundbites about free college and how evil billionaires are? Our country doesn't do depth and nuance well. M.A.T.H. indeed!

@Oz lmao tell me my horoscope next, Ms Cleo
Jeff Bezos and other billionaires have been talking about ubi for a while. And as late capitalism leaves more and more in poverty you will see more and more billionaires and corporations pushing UBI.
UBI is a form of life and house insurance for ultra-rich. A capitalist tool to protect their power. Billionaires are pushing it for a reason.
I know a lot of yang supporters and UBI supporters are lost progressives. Dont fall for that right wing ideal. Look into real solutions to late capitalism. There are plenty of good post capitalism ideals in left wing ideologys.

To me it seems like most addictions are a replacement for valuable human connection and a goal/mission in life.
While I agree with everything you say, Yang's UBI does the least to help those who need it most.
Lifelong conservative republican trump voter, voting for/supporting #Yang 100% 💯...I like a lot of what he says and I really like him as a person. I held my nose and voted for trump because I hated Hilary, but it didn’t feel good to vote for Trump. It came with a lot of frustration over the way he talks and tweets. Yang is everything I wanted trump to be: a non politician with interesting and new ideas. Trump has done a pretty good job with the economy, and now I feel that it’s time for Yang to take this economy and move forward. The main thing I really like about Yang is that he never says unkind things about republicans or conservatives. He speaks about all Americans equally, not painting trump voters with a broad brush or name calling (racist, sexist, etc). I’m female and don’t play or like identity politics, so I didn’t feel I wanted to vote for Hilary for the mere fact that she shared the same genitalia as me - I really didn’t like her as a person and knew she was a corrupt lifelong politician - hence the vote for trump. Yang really seems to understand that about conservatives and republicans and trump voters - we aren’t racist sexist crazy people, a lot of us didn’t really like him all that much but felt we’d take a chance on trump because Hilary was just that bad. Yang has my full support now - he’s an awesome person, I really like his personality and how kind he is, he seems really relatable and normal, and his policies are so fresh, interesting, and benefit everyone equally - no matter the race or income level. We all win. We all feel invested into the country that we love and have built. It also gives purpose and dignity to stay at home moms, like me - his policies are truly #winning ;)
As a Social Democrat former Berner now in Yang's camp, in a conservative state/town, I hear you and know a lot of folks like you who I hope will also seriously look into Yang and come to know him and his campaign the way we have. Thanks for sharing this. ❤
This is why we need Yang
Only three times in the history of The Atlantic magazine have they endorsed a candidate for president. Abraham Lincoln, I forget the second and Hilary Clinton. Only in the case of Abraham Lincoln did they endorse a candidate as the best candidate. While in the other two cases it was an endorsement of the better of two.
Make sure you vote for him I'm the primaries then because that's going to be the biggest hurdle.
Yup
Andrew Yang is one of a kind! We need him in 2020!
This is seriously the best interview I've seen so far. The more I see Yang interviews the more I appreciate his demeanor, genuinity and wisdom. One of the few candidates who I believe when he says he want's to work with other candidates to strive for a better America. Not caring about party differences, but achieving the goals and helping Americans.
Andrew Yang's biggest issue is he isn't well recognized. I was telling my friends about Andrew Yang and they were like "Andrew who"? I need new friends lol
Yanged them!
You don't need knew friends. You just need to Yang them!
Even at this stage of the game? Wow. I suppose the media completely disrespecting him and not giving him proportional coverage doesn't exactly help. Shameful. : (
People also pretends not to know him cause they think UBI is a far fetch idea.
I tried to tell mine about him and they called him an idiot and that he knows nothing about basic economics. I wanted to punch them so bad. No matter how much I tried to convince them they either denied the facts or made up stupid excuses.

For the Berners out there watching this and admiring Yang and perhaps feeling a little conflicted, I know where you're coming from, I was there myself back in November '18 through February of this year. It took me a few months to make the hop over into Yang's camp as a Berner but hop I did. I found what I was really looking for in a candidate in Yang! I even wondered if I was betraying Bernie, but I simply could no longer deny Yang's appeal and his importance. I couldn't not support him. From his youth, energy, regular-guy feel and heartfelt, compassionate, sincere, actual desire to help our country (compared to every other corporate, neoliberal garbage candidate throughout our history), the straightforward, honest way he answers questions (unpolitician-like), his fresh and unprecedented particular perspective and diagnoses of our problems, and his 70+ and growing policies (back then) written out on his website, and more, I knew he was onto something, and would be a contender. I'd never ever seen a candidate like him. I knew he had to be heard far and wide in this race! It's been fun to be an og Yang Gang and watch his campaign grow like wildfire!
Go to yanglinks.com to get answers & video links to the all the FAQs. And just throw him a monthly buck or 5! I set up monthly auto donations of $1 each to Yang, Bernie, Marianne, and Tulsi. Plus merch purchases from Yang. Every little bit helps!
Kit M berners admire yang from afar. It’s like being married but finding yourself attracted to another person. Very conflicting. I don’t blame them if they stay loyal.
@@smocloud great analogy! That's close to the feeling I experienced!
Kit M I also don’t blame people if they fall in love with someone else than who they’re with. Heart wants what it wants. Nothing wrong with berners who turn to the yang gang. We are younger, more beautiful, and smarter.
Until last night, if I had voted for anyone it would have been Bernie. Andrew was extremely impressive last night. Logical, intelligent, aware but also affable. I'm so tired of all the yelling, from everybody.
I'm still a Bernie supporter, but I wouldn't mind Yang being in his administration. I would even be willing to support him in the future, but right now, Sanders is what we need to bring the United States to where it needs to be in terms of climate change, medicare for all, and campaign finance reform.
I just love to read the comments on Andrew Yang’s videos. The messages are so positive and everyone is so pumped to get him in the office!
Yang is brilliant, honest, straightforward and compassionate.
His ideas and policies are so sensible that many Americans easily relates to him.
Freedom Dividend, Democracy Dollars, GDP based on Human Value, and so many policies that will be a game changer to many Americans and the Country.
He's well motivated, but his policies have glaring flaws.
"Freedom Dividend"
Fails to close the income gap, it merely shifts it while leaving many people in poverty behind int hat shift by forcing them to give up current aid to receive it.
"Democracy Dollars"
Doesn't compete with millions the people already buying politics can dump into the system.
"GDP based on Human Value"
Not feasible.
While human's deserve to be valued, you can't trade that with other nations.
I would like to see Yang as Bernie's HUD secretary.
Let him get more experience actually dealing with people in poverty instead of tossing out only half developed ideas.
Literally the candidate for the people!
Jimi G FD is the most progressive and effective policy to lift people and communities from poverty.
ruclips.net/video/dJpaKskqnmg/видео.html.
Democracy Dollars can crush big money's grip on American politics.
GDP based on Human Value will make people realize that their physical, mental and all-around well being should be the right measurement of any economic progress made.
Bernie's solutions to problems are outdated.
@@rainieresguerra7486
1.) What is the "value" of a human?
2.) New != Good
3.) How are they outdated?
4.) You didn't address any of Yang's glaring policy flaws
5.) He analyzed the situation somewhat decently but doesn't say what he will do directly. He gives detailed descriptive claims but not equally or more prescriptive ones from a 1st person perspective. It's like a car has an issue and he explains why the car is malfunctioning in his opinion whilst going into a brief history of cars in general before saying we need a new form of transportation anyway. While not wrong your car is *still* broken down and he didn't repair it.
Jimi G ok boomer
Great Interview! As a firm Yang Gang member, I"ve heard the same stuff over and over again as people ask him the skin deep stuff. Thanks for providing new content!
Thanks for explaining my feelings!
Jeff Bezos and other billionaires have been talking about ubi for a while. And as late capitalism leaves more and more in poverty you will see more and more billionaires and corporations pushing UBI.
UBI is a form of life and house insurance for ultra-rich. A capitalist tool to protect their power. Billionaires are pushing it for a reason.
I know a lot of yang supporters and UBI supporters are lost progressives. Dont fall for that right wing ideal. Look into real solutions to late capitalism. There are plenty of good post capitalism ideals in left wing ideologys.
@David
That is where the VAT comes in 10% tax of luxury goods. Jeff Bezos only has to spend $120,000 in a year on goods and then anything after is gravy that the government redistributes to the middle and lower class. He will spend $120,000 in the first week and then 10% of the rest of his purchases end up on the middle class.
Try not to look at UBI alone its UBI + VAT together, each alone will not work, but together they can!
@@atrainderailed7777 ubi is capitalism. Bezos will still be a billionaire. most will still be poor. workers wont have there labor as a bargaining chip in future capitalism.

@@mr.anderson1454 I guess we have a fundamental difference, I personally don't believe that billionaires should exist. I believe capitalism is a gamble and I don't think the people that win the lottery should get their winnings taken away. It was their choice to gamble and they got lucky. Fair enough good for them.
What I do believe is that they need to pay their fair share in taxes, just like I do, and they shouldn't be allowed to hide from taxes. I think the VAT will accomplish my requirements.
Great interview. It is cool to see journalist who are educated in topics discussed. #yang2020
It's like being a hack is a prerequisite for being in the news industry.

I don't want to downplay Kate, but Matt Tiabbi is definitely someone you should follow. His book Griftopia is a good 10 yrs old and addresses a lot of issues that only Sanders and Yang address, how the super rich buy politicians and screw everyone in the process.

@@mr.anderson1454 I get where you are coming from, but there is no clear way to move past neoliberalism/neoconservatism. They have already destroyed the planet for profits, they know this, and they have the US military on their side.
"Not left, not right, but FORWARD"...When I heard him say this in one of his speeches I went on a Andrew Yang video binge watch.
Great to see a politician being so well informed and having such a great sense of humor, it's always fun to listen to Andrew Yang.
Yang is the visionary human leader we have been starved for. Support his candidacy and get your friends to do the same. Your life will be changed forever for the better.
Show me one thing on the Yang platform that's visionary. Don't bother saying UBI, that's been around for a long time, and as he said, he got the idea from others talking about it. Visionary, is a candidate telling the truth: M4A is going to cost: Bernie Sanders.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 All good points! Can I suggest that you read Mr. Yang's book, if you have not already?
@@jimbalio Is that a dodge? Are you under the impression that in order to support Yang's policies you need to read his book first, because communicating his ideas to the voting public is his job, and if he can't or won't do that, there's a problem. My issue with Yang isn't that he's not likable but more related to how much help he intends to offer is defeating corporate control of our government. I can see his appeal to libertarians or anyone who believes we can live peacefully with the 'benevolent' wealthy, but I don't believe that's a possibility, so I'm asking if Yang has a plan for that and perhaps I've missed it. For the record, even Bernie isn't far enough left for me in that respect; he a start though, and I don't think Yang is at all. Bernie has a long history that we can examine and has been more consistent for decades on crucial points than any other candidate in my long life. For this reason I trust Bernie Sanders far more than any other candidate, though the bar is very low.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 I like how you're hostile for no reason. I know I wasn't a part of this conversation until now but I stopped reading what you posted because of your hostility. Just thought you should know your message isn't getting across.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 I was merely offering a suggestion. You are free to ignore it. As for your other questions, it seems to me that they are reasonable, and deserve answers so you can make an informed decision. Perhaps you can pose them to the candidate.
If only the mass media would treat Yang the same way you guys did.
The media prefers their corporate candidates. Just keep spreading Yang's message and make sure to vote in the Democratic Primaries! We fight back when we show up in large numbers at the voting booth!
Like Bernie, Andrew is a hell of a decent human being.
...Have you met him? (He’s a politician, of course he puts on his best face for the camera).
I suppose he is saying what you want to hear
@@Americansikkunt Who's a politician? Yang? I think you need to be successfully elected into a seat of political office to be considered a politician. You're not a politician by running to become President any more than applying for medical school suddenly makes you a doctor before you're even accepted. Do you prepare for the work ahead of time? Of course. You do this for everything. But does that make you the thing you're preparing for? No. It does not.
Now if you're using the term in a derogatory sense to imply all politicians lie, I'd like to challenge that all humans lie, but putting on your best face is something professional that you should do regardless of your background. You're not lying by putting your best foot forward and it's not in your best interest to intentionally start the conversation with the worst side of you. You're meaninglessly handicapping yourself. That's not a politician thing, that's a reasonable human thing to do.
All that said, you don't need to go into super detail to parse out whether a conversation is genuine or not. Yang was relaxed here, made jokes, but also discussed a very real problem with real solutions. Instead of approaching all conversations with the mindset of "Oh it's a politician doing politician-y things, they're just talking fluff", actually pick out where the "fluff" is. If you want examples, look to Amy Klobuchar. She is full of empty platitudes that have no substance. Things like "United we stand! Divided we fall!", but what does that even mean practically speaking? Contrast this to Yang's "Automation is killing our jobs; let's create more organically through UBI and people will use the money for car repair, child care, health care, little league sign-ups, and more". You can very clearly pick out where he states the problem and the solution. Agree with it or not, there's no fluff there.
Now, if you're apolitical and have no interest in what anyone says no matter what, then I think you may be watching the wrong video.
@@Americansikkunt Yang seems more like an engineer or a doctor than a politician. I think he is very genuine and smart regardless of his standing in the presidential race.
@@Americansikkunt I've met Andrew. He's a good dude. What you see is what you get.

Yup. Let’s help wake the sleeping giant. My SO and I were among the sleeping giant.

@M C , because the corrupted medias. Imagine, when you are driving in heavy traffic on freeway, moving forward is better than not moving or drop out.
@M C This is not a case of emergency. YangGang is moving gradually step by step. Each step we move, more supporters we get.
@M C Andrew Yang started from an unknown person, and now he is in the 3rd places compares to those very famous in the White House in 8 months. It's amazing moving of Andrew Yang.
@M C , you are right, we need to back a winner and that is Yang. 🙂 #Yang2020 🧢
@M C I've seen you around on Yang videos a lot. I also see you on Rising sometimes. Do you support Bernie? Cool. I respect him too; voted for him in 2016, but probably not in 2020. He's always meant well, but his policies seriously need updating.
Yang's support is far and wide and incredibly diverse racially, socioeconomically, and politically, thanks to the Internet. The DNC-approved polls are always lagging on current trends and they're sampling landlines that most Americans who are engaged in politics don't use anymore. Besides, those who do answer can decline to participate in them. Some of the few Yang Gang who do answer don't usually get to pick him from the choices. Outdated, tiny-sample polls don't prove anything. Election betting odds aren't any guarantee, yet they still outclass these polls historically.
Yet despite everything, Yang has been consistently climbing in those dead-inaccurate polls, bit by bit. He's gone from a meager nobody to 6th place and now 5th nationally. When a poll does factor in online polling with Yang as an option, he hits top 4. Thanks, FiveThirtyEight.
He's recently been diving straight into ad buys the past few months. It's only a matter of time. Yang IS moving forward, and his campaign trail won't be over until he's at his inauguration.
Andrew Yang is amazing....Facts that are real, just amazing in todays world and he has solutions
ubi is a right wing capitalist ideal. a way to prolong capitalism in a jobless future. end capitalism
@@mr.anderson1454 please present proof...I agree capitalism is a tool for the 1% to maintain class warfare but do not agree of your assertion the UBI is a "right wing ideal"...Please clarify...
@@misterr50 well if you agree capitalism is a tool to keep the capitalist oligarchs in power than we are in agreement.
Yang's ubi is a capitalist ideal to preserve the unjust and obsolete system of capitalism in the future after capitalism has failed. yang himself says its capitalism not socialism. any economic ideal that keeps capitalism our system and the hiarchys and institutions of capitalism in place is right wing. you cannot be a left wing capitalist.
@@mr.anderson1454 I see your position and yet I can not completely agree...I do not associate as a "left" or "right" or even "center"...there are pieces of each that resonate with me...I do tend to be "progressive"...We must do something for the folks, families and fellow humans that are falling through the cracks daily and are working 2 and 3 jobs just to pay rent or afford food or even just afford a car....they are under assault...I have in my careers have been on the side of downsizing and reduction in force scenarios....It was tough and because corporations control their employees as "profit margins", they will find cheaper labour even if it means capital investment for AI....there are fewer avenues for those caught in the corporate greed...they will never decrease their pay or their profit margins to maintain a healthy and productive work force...hence class warfare...we must have at the very least a band-aid to slow the bleeding and to keep people in society and UBI in its present form would accomplish that...we must begin somewhere and social programs have done more to keep people in poverty while assisting them at the most basic and minimal level...Wal Mart is the greatest example of my thoughts, they maintaining work weeks below 35 hours and more than half their store/floor employees are on some sort of public assistance while the owners are living beyond lavish lives...thanks for the honest debate
@@misterr50 "we must in the very least have a bandaid" you summed it up perfectly.
capitalism will end very soon on its course. we already have a socialist with a chance to be president. that's Pretty crazy in its self. we will have socialism in America soon.
billionaires like jeff Bezos see and fear this. they now are starting to push ubi themselves. they understand ubi is a way to keep capitalism a float and preserve there power and stop us from ever having meaningful changes in our society. if they keep capitalism a float another 100 years it will be over for most people. the capitalist will own and control everything including us. we will be forced to be thankful for whatever basic life our capitalist overlords decide is basic enough for us.
the only way forward in the 21st century that works for everyone and not a small number of capitalist oligarchs is to end capitalism.
you will see late capitalism send more and more into poverty and socialism will become more and more popular. than you will see more and more billionaire capitalist and corporations start to push ubi. ubi is a form of house and life insurance for the ultra-rich capitalist.
I hate that the media sleeps on Yang. We need him in office!
They did the same on Ron and Rand Paul
They do it on purpose. Just like Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders. If the media is ignoring him, chances are he is a good guy, not a pay for play politician.
@@AIlSystemsGo Ron....non spender, non liar, flat tax......I got NE IA going for Ron(IMHO). I failed Andrew. Much much more static going on(overload) and I have to admit I had a little "I give up" which has been popular from IMMENSE brainwashing we have to go through.
I always think "I won't watch a 40+ minute interview of Andrew Yang" but then I do
Yang is genuinely likable.
Yang/Baby Yoda 2020
Hardly
Many socialists are likable. But once in power will make you depenent on government and then strip you of your rights. He is a most dangerous individual
@@zekebanister865 look harder into the effects of ubi. Keep in mind that he's talking about also removing about 1.5 trillion dollars in existing welfare programs; not exactly someone trying to make everyone dependent on government. It's also very different from the communist history you're referring too in that he isn't trying to bring any currently private economic sectors and making them government run.
zroysum This is where you are making your mistake my friend.They never unravel their entire plans up front. It is always insidious slowly leaking socialism into our society. One more thing, I don't hear him denouncing abortion at the time of birth. This is hidious. Also, he is for free halth care for illegal aliens. No, we don't get ahead by taking money from people,or corporations who earned it and giving it to people who did not earn it. That is not capitalism. You can call it what you like but it smacks of one huge step toward socialism. He's not going to win anyway so I am pretty much satisfied

Yang blew me away when I first heard him 12 months ago, and my friends laughed at me when I predicted he will become our president. Yang is not a total long shot anymore. Spread the word. Go Yang!
He's young but he's hitting his prime. I can just see him now finishing up his 2nd term in nine years graying a little on the temples the greatest most noble and wise president in us history
Noah McDaniel I love that vision
He is such a smart and wise person. Every time someone comes at him, he just diffuses and makes them into a believer. People really need to just listen to him speak. Someone like Yang is hard to come by. He deserves to be respected because he doesn’t seek it. He just wants to make a better world for his two boys.

common sense he should be
elected President.
if you are a right wing capitalist
Unfortunately, it seems like those two qualities are no longer on the list of mandatory requirements.
Al Gore won the election at one point. The Make Every Vote Count campaign happened. So, George Bush Junior stole the election with lawyer tricks. Then later stole more money than anyone in American history using the heads of major banks in backroom deals.
Except for the comment defending impeachment. Considering investigating Biden to be an impeachable offense... think about what authoritarian BS that is... why shouldn't Biden be investigated; it's in the public interest to know if he was up to something shady. Trump was investigated non-stop; there is no reason a competing politician shouldn't be. It's the same BS when they have the nerve to complain about Hillary's emails being leaked, and that influencing the election. They are against an informed public compromising their power... almost like they hate democracy. (Yang towing the party line regarding this bandwagon exposes him as dishonest and unprincipled.)
@@pseudonymous8702 It's not about the investigation. It's about the reason and way it's done. And that's why there is so much debate. The president is SUPPOSED to investigate corruption. However, he is explicitly not allowed to use his executive privilege to further his political career. He is also not allowed to basically extort help from a foreign power by withholding American aide. The issue is not what he did, but when and how. Right before the end of his term he starts pressuring foreign powers to investigate a political rival.
If he suspected corruption why not open investigations much earlier? Why involve a foreign nation? Why withhold aide to force their hand? Again, it's not what he did, it's when and how he did it.
If this guy gets elected his presidency will go down as one of the greatest achievements of the 21 century
Andrew Yang is the only candidate worth voting for
So if it's Trump and Bernie/Warren on the stage you won't vote? Does that mean Trumps your second pick because that's who wins then.
How about foregin policy? Does Yang have a good policy for that?
I do agree with you...however, this republicunt regime must go, one way or another!
Bradley McP Yang is also the only candidate who can beat Trump so if that’s what you want you should really consider spreading the word on Yang.
daveruda he has 100 policies listed on his site yang2020.com check them out!
This is the best episode of Useful Idiots yet! Great energy, great questions and the best candidate for the future of this country! Love it #Yang2020
I'm a Bernie guy but I genuinely like Andrew Yang
The greatest proposal of his is the Democracy Dollars. Think about it, if a candidate trying to get into office whether local, state, or federal and end up with more lobbyist money than their constituents Democracy dollars within a district, what is the underlining conclusion? Right now, we have no idea where candidates gets their funding but with Democracy dollars, we know everything. We might not know the specific person but we will know for example that a candidate of a district with 5k voters only received 2k in Democracy dollars when there are 500k in their district but managed to raised 200k in campaign fund. The candidate will have no choice but the chase the voter for votes and Democracy dollars because thats how voter will view an electable candidate base on the number of Democracy dollars they raised instead of lobbyist money.
Then vote Andrew
@Pick 1 Mike I like him as a person and I think he's an interesting candidate, but I'm interested in mass politics and awakening a labor revival in this country. The only person I see as capable of leading that movement is Bernie. But Andrew Yang is young and he has plenty of years ahead of him. I could def see him running for US Senate from the state of California or future president. And I'm certainly glad his name is now out there.
@@nitin9230 I would have agreed with you if this was 2016 but unfortunately it's too late. The top 4 candidates beside Pete are in their 70s and Bernie coming back from a heart attack is the biggest issue for me. The guy is 78 for God sakes and if he wins, he'll be in his 80 by the time he takes office. The presidency is a brutal job if you want things to get done. Look how much Obama aged in his 8 years in office and he really struggled to gets things through with a combative congress. Bernie needs to retire and enjoy what time he has left with his wife and family and let the young guy take the reign because if any policies were to enact. The young president will live through and actually see the outcome.
I expect President Yang will make a place for Bernie on his cabinet.

Many people are living in the cars, under the bridges and roads and they will get their self esteem back and many will start their own business again. Most of the small businesses were closing, we need to start it again
Any politician who says he is going to give you $1000 a month, take the chance. The others are not going to provide you with anything, or anything of value to you in any case.
Darren Yuen wouldn’t go so far as to say anyone who offers $1k/mo but in this case..... and he’s offering a lot more than that really.... besides the Freedom Dividend, he is the only one with a viable climate change plan that won’t keep us totally doomed - he includes nuclear in his plan. No other candidate has even talked about the nuclear option being necessary to fight climate change..... So..... there might even be other good ideas in the field but.... they aren’t going to matter if we don’t fix the climate.... because runaway climate change will disrupt everything, like EVERYTHING.

Eh... It's not enough to live on. I like Bernie's Job guarantee program better.
@@alex-qd6of what are the jobs?? what qualifications will u need to get the job? What would happen to the repetitive jobs when they're automated? Where's the money to pay millions of employees? Where's the money to pay for healthcare. people talk about ubi inflation but don't realise employee cost will increase and the cost of product will increase too and the corporates will straight up blame the govt for increasing cost. Bernie's plans are not economically feasible. Yang has planned his Economy after seeing what works in other economies and bernie got his info from where exactly? It's just pipe dreams.
I’m a Bernie supporter through and through but damn Yang is super smart and knows what he’s talking about! He’s definitely my 2nd choice ahead of Warren. I’d love to see him on Bernie’s cabinet if Bernie gets the nomination!
Higss Boson a lot of Yang Gang are former Bernie supporters, including Yang himself. But Bernie besides being too old, has some major flaws in his policies that Yangs plans fix. Number one is Yang is for nuclear as a part of the climate change solution- something science agrees and tells us we need and without which will not be able to meet our goals. Basically under a Bernie plan that does not include nuclear? We won’t win the fight against climate change, we will lose. I can’t accept that.
Another issue is the wealth tax has already been a proven failure in multiple European countries, where its been repealed and replaced by the Value Added Tax that Yang proposes. One of the other issues is $15/hr minimum wage..... well we already have that in some parts of the country and it hasn’t done very much for us. It’s better than nothing, but employers still limit hours, so they don’t have to pay for healthcare, so people end up working multiple minimum wage part-time jobs to get by, amounting to full-time work, without any full-time benefits. $15/hr also only helps people who can work in the first place. It does nothing for people with disabilities, or stay-at-home Moms, or other caretakers whose work has value, but is not compensated and doesn’t officially get recognized.
UBI would provide the most significant, and direct relief and financial empowerment to individuals, families and communities, it would be far more impactful than a $15/hr minimum wage.
Which would you honestly rather have? $15/hr TAXED, or $1K UBI every month UNTAXED, free and clear just for being a human being and a citizen. Which one would help people in your family or community more? Honestly to me there’s not even a real contest and UBI is the clear winner.
I’m not confident Bernie could win over Trump, when unlike Yang, he does not get much crossover support- yes he’s polling high among Dems, but Dems aren’t the majority of the country. Bernie’s support base is not as diverse ideologically as Yang’s, which is something that speaks to just how unifying and universally appealing his message and plans are. He has such diverse broad support and its only continuing to grow. If he gets the nomination, we beat Trump!!!!
I respect your choice to have stuck with Bernie thus far- but Yang truly does deserve everyone’s serious consideration as a contender. If haven’t already- you should read his full climate change plan. >

Bernie wont live another 8 years 🤷♂️
@@njf9763 Bernie is also almost 80 years old and just had a heart attack..He won't even have the stamina to do a campaign next year.
Why would Yang be your second choice my fellow Americans? Bernie proposing an $1,100 monthly citizenship dividend?
He was a Bernie supporter in 2016.
2 adults in your household = $24k extra every year, 3=$36k, 4=$48k
This is serious income you'll have to save, invest, pay off loans, ect. No other candidate is offering anything this impactful to my everyday existance. Yang2020! Let's go
Yang answers questions in such a thoughtful and honest manner. So Genuine.
The sound he makes when he laughs is enough to tell he is an honest man! :D
Great interview! $1000/month is much more impactful to the lives of all Americans versus all of the promises of other politicians that focus in on just their voters. With money in the hands of people, we can build up our own local economies, helping small towns and families instead of being dependent on the government to tell us what we need.
@Kelvin T more impactful than M4A, free college, cancel student loan and medical debt, and universal preK. The knee jerk reaction to say let’s help families be as independent of government is kind of a glaring example of cognitive dissonance. By saying let’s adopt UBI you are implicitly pushing for a policy that makes every American dependent on the government that is first done through regressive taxation, second forces some people who are receiving government assistance to choose between the assistance program or the UBI, and lastly pales in comparison to the benefit of a universal healthcare, college, and pre-K policy as well as clearing debt that will have a much greater effect on the economy than UBI. What’s to stop landlords from raising rent let’s say $200/month and food as well as necessities to go up a little bit in which the average family spends $300 more each month. That adds cost to restaurant owners who will have to charge a few more dollars per plate. Before you know it that $1k can be swallowed up with little gain for the majority of people instead the capital class gets to reap the benefits of the UBI. Universal programs from healthcare to college once in place and secured can not be have the same impact of the corrupting force of capital using a few deceitful tactics to take advantage of the UBI for their gain. If you were to get into a car accident that landed you in the hospital or cancer that forced you to get the necessary treatment for survival and even with decent private insurance your over all Bill was $100k and without insurance it was $350k then what is a UBI other than a muzzle on Americans getting what is long overdue and should be recognized as a human right. To allow a private insurance company to look at each human being as a commodity is beyond comprehensible. I urge you to really stop and think who has repeated over and over again the idea that government is a terrible entity that does nothing for its people. The obvious answer is big business. They have not only pushed this idea since the early eighties but also put in place corrupted politicians or former employees in high ranking positions in government to pass legislation that has made it virtually impossible to get any legation that benefits the working class and middle class economically with a socially progressive policy thrown in like the rights for gay marriage to be recognized by the government which is great but not nearly the type of policy that helps society like M4A. I am not saying government without corporate influence is perfect or not prone to corruption as well but it’s much more secure for the majority of politicians are beholden to its constituents rather than big money donors putting their own in positions to represent their interests. To most simply put it is the classic wolf in sheep’s clothing to be overly simplistic. Politicians are corrupted wolves who try to portrait themselves as sheep working for the people and when nothing gets done they point fingers and say “see government is corrupt and doesn’t work for the people. See we need less government and less regulations. Let the free market work as its intended to and it will work for all.” The reality is government doesn’t even have a chance to work because it’s not a government for and by the people, it’s a a well oiled corporate machine that is only works for big business and the people in power are purposely put their to make sure it doesn’t function well so capitalists can continue to feed the BS that has been insidiously marketed to and fed to the public on repeat. The internet has been the mechanism that allowed this to be exposed and understood by anyone willing to let their pride take a back seat to listen to the overwhelmingly obvious truth that our government has been seized by multinational corporations that do not have the best interests in mind. Sorry I went on so long but to conclude Yang seems like a very nice person but the UBI in my mind will end up doing very little to change the systemic corruption that has allowed for our government to be corrupted to the point that the only way out is to support candidates that recognize the survival of our country depends on uprooting the system as we know it and that starts with getting money out of politics and implementing policies that allow for humanity to support one without stripping away ones dignity. There is something very wrong when innovation is going to usher in a dystopian future rather than a utopian one. Once we take care of every human being through healthcare, education, housing, and sustenance then I’m all for a UBI but if me skip those and go right for UBI it’s going to end up having worse results then Yang can imagine.
Kelvin T, exactly! As a single employed mother who makes $16 & struggles to get by, the only Bernie plan that directly helps me is M4A, but that is questionable & dependent on how much more taxes will be taken from my check. I’d rather have the UBI to help pay for rent, groceries, & car insurance.

This most important part of this interview is starts at 23:40 to 25:52 when Andrew talks about Andy Stern. As a lot time advocate for UBI starting back in 2014 I've admired Andy Stern's work on UBI and I totally agree with him. Now, I was a Tulsi supporter in the beginning but Andrew's policy on Nuclear Power won me over. UBI was a big plus, but also being on board with Molten Salt Reactors aka: MSR using Thorium (aka: LFTR) as a fuel source was the winner. Tulsi talks about ending Regime Change Wars, well a MSR/LFTR does just that. And, if you want to get rid of most of the Nuclear Waste a MSR/LFTR does that. And, if you what to created unlimited Fresh Water a MSR/LFTR does that. And, if you care about Nuclear Medicine, Isotopes for cancer patients, MRI, Pet Scans you need nuclear to do that. People think solar and wind are the 100% answer, and sorry to say this but it is not. Wind turbines need permanent magnets and you can only get that by stripping land. And, with Solar Panels you have to consider all of the toxic materials needed to make them and then all of the Solar Panel waste that's going to exist when these panels life has ended. Now, Solar and wind have a place and are needed but people never seems to think ahead on the issues we are going to have in 20 or 30 years. You need an all of the above approach and that's what Andrew is shooting for. See video below if you want to know more.

Great comment
johncrab67 Wow! You went OFF! 😂👍👏👏👏 The nuclear power thing is my other #1 reason besides UBI to go with Yang! But I wasn’t as informed as you on the subject, good job! ☺️
Whenever I hear about that Thorium nuclear option, I always seem to hear that it's not viable yet. Not ready to be used yet. Futuristic almost. Is that wrong or is that just scare-mongering by the status quo benificiaries?
@@JecaMasha One of the biggest obstacles to building the Molten Salt Reactors using Thorium as a fuel comes down to who gets to be the Middle Man. During the 1848 California Gold Rush you had gold miners who went out to find gold thinking they would get rich only to have the Middle Men come in and build a town around them and charge them 10 times the normal amount for a meal, a place to live, what ever they needed. So, the miners weren't the ones that got rich, it was the Middle Men. And, the same is true with Thorium. Right now GE owns the processing plants that create Uranium Solid Pellets that they sell to nuclear plants. Our current nuclear reactors can only get a 3% to 5% burn from these GE pellets and yes they leave the world dealing with 90% take or minus a percent nuclear waste (aka: unused fuel) locked in those pellets, that needs to be stored for thousands of years. But hey it's all good, GE is making a ton of money for it owners and shareholders. :(
So the current argument is this, the MSR doesn't need a middle man, it's not a solid fuel and GE and GE types don't like that. There's no money for them to make so they oppose it. I'm linking a video below, watch the whole thing. But, really pay attention to the video starting around the the 30 minute mark you see an argument over solid fuel vs liquid. The advocates for Thorium in a liquid from keep asking the lets say, "Vendors" do we really need a pellet? Which there is no need for at all and the whole pellet crap makes the reactor a lot less efficient. But, the Middle Men want their take. And I say, they've already taken too much.

Amazing interview..! Next interview, pls write about the yang gang!
Who's here just hearing about andrew?? Magnetic isnt he?
Yesss! Spread the word!! Register as a Democrat and vote in the Democratic Primaries!!
When I first found out about him back when the rogan podcast first dropped I couldn’t stop watching anything that had him in it or was about him and his policies. Initially I thought he was crazy, and ignored him. But after a few weeks the idea was planted and I needed to learn about it. So I listened to Andrew. I listened to people analyze andrew’s ideas and plans. It took me months to get on board fully but all the while I couldn’t stop listening to him. Magnetic is a good word.
judaspreistvlct poisoning the well. That’s akin to one person saying “his black hair is so beautiful!” And then someone else saying “hitler had black hair.” And that somehow is suppose to be enough for us to think that now, the person is equal to hitler. You’re a dumbass. Genuinely like able people are magnetic, and some psychopaths are repulsive. You’re here making false equivalencies and hoping other people that are new to the yang gang will see it and believe you. Misinformation, for what purpose? Likely you think yang is bad for the country, but mostly you think he’s bad for you. Selfish reasons. You’re trying to manipulate public opinion for a personal reason. Ironically, that’s what I call psychopathic behavior.
I totally woke up this week. Been paying attention everyday. YANG 2020.
Brilliant interview! Loved every second of it. I can’t wait to cast the first vote of my life for Andrew Yang

Andrew Yang is the obvious choice when you take the time to listen to his vision. This is a great interview but there are so many more I recommend people take the time to check out.
not so much his vision as he stated.

Any government big enough to give you most everything that you want is also big enough to control what you say, do and even think!
How could you NOT like this guy?
I grew up on the west coast and currently live on the east coast. The sad fact is that most people living on the coast don't think about people living in the middle of the country and assume it's other people's responsibility. After donald won in 2016, I finally realized I was part of the problem and started donating to the poorest schools in the country through donor's choose. I am so glad andrew yang is running and putting humanity first. I work in tech and the automation is happening. It will be more devastating than the most conservative estimates. We really need to start UBI soon, I don't want to see tens of millions of family starving.
This is the first time in years I have heard a politician actually make sense. He's a smart guy. Like his thing about 'big ideas'.

@Kevin Wayne , a jobs program isn't going to help those that are stay at home parents or caregivers. It does nothing for those that have jobs already. It does nothing for the elderly who deserve to not have to continue working until they die or for the disabled or those who can't work. The labor participation rate is at 63% and there are many unfilled jobs, but not enough people with the skills to fill them. UBI overall will help 94% vs FJG. Does that mean that a Federal Jobs Guarantee is a bad idea? Not at all, but if only one could be picked out of the two of the amount of money it will cost, then the UBI gets more bang for the buck, helping more people and recirculates money back into the economy. A Jobs program or FJG will be a nightmare to implement and once again makes it seem that you have no value if you don't work a traditional job. We already have witnessed what happens to government workers when there is a government shutdown, employees don't get paid until Congress gets their act together impacting employees and their families. So forgive me if the government guaranteeing jobs doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies with their history of not paying employees when there is a shutdown. I do however believe there should be something, but UBI provides for the freedom that we deserve to do what we want to live up to our potential without worrying about our basic needs being taken care of. UBI isn't for "nothing", we are owed that money back for the data that tech companies use and profiting from to the tune of billions of dollars. These companies would not be where they are now without people. They would not be where they are now had it not been for our tax dollars that helped pave the way for the internet and computers and the technology that has evolved since. Yes, those on food stamps would be foregoing food stamps if they opt In to get UBI and they would be better off if they did opt in and free themselves from the intrusiveness of the government dictating what food they can buy and the rules and regulations to qualify. Our welfare system penalizes productivity and any improvement that these recipients make to get financially ahead is hindered when their benefits are cut by the same amount returning them to square one. People will spend the money, and if demand goes up, then companies can hire more workers to increase productivity. So UBI will create millions of jobs as people keep the economy going at a time when jobs due to Automation/AI wipe out jobs leaving fewer jobs to compete for and jobs of the future require more training. #Yang2020 🧢
It's a mix between these two emojis lmao 🤨🙁
The other pro-establishment politicians have it built into muscle memory the emotional cliches, while Yang uses evidence data to present his points. The latter takes more effort.
