I am proud and humbled to be the Iowa Freedom Dividend recipient. I look forward to the day when everyone can feel that little extra stress relief, and I assure you all, Andrew is an amazing person face to face. His visit with us was super informal, he just sat with us and talked and explained his policies. Through my work and my bands, I have meet some of my favorite 'rock stars' over the years and it has never been a big deal to me. Seeing Andrew at my door, I was a little star struck. Here's a man that could change the world at my sad little broken down door. He was in no hurry, even though he had an event coming up soon. We joked, laughed, and the way he reached out and touched my mom's shoulder while telling her she has done so well fighting and beating cancer was an amazing thing to see and his praise for me being around and taking care of her through the whole battle every single day for three years now was an incredible feeling. Many out there fighting like we are. Many out there deserve and/or need this more than we do. This little extra bit of cash will allow my mom to be more independent from me which will in turn allow me to begin rebuilding my businesses to where it once was and acquiring some of the equipment I have sold over the years to make ends meet. Mom just got the all clear from cancer again yesterday. Doctor doesn't expect it to come back. So between that news, and Andrew's help for the next 12 months we are feeling pretty damn good about things for the first time in a few years. Thank you, Andrew. Slay at the debates!
Elon musk just endorsed this guy. That’s says a lot for a forward thinker that owns a tech company endorsing another forward thinker that wants to tax tech company’s. Great minds think alike
Elon Musk put the idea of UBI, relating it to automation,, in the spotlight a couple years or so ago. Mark Zuckerberg quickly followed. Apparently it's an idea that's been bouncing around the tech industry for quite a while. It really wasn't a surprise that he endorsed Yang. I honestly thought Elon Musk was the one who put it into Andrew Yang's head to run as soon as I heard Yang's main policy was UBI. An alternate take on UBI is that it's just crumbs tossed out for the masses to keep them from going all French Revolution on the rich. In other words, it a band-aid that's not going to do much. They throw us their pocket change and we should be okay with their million dollar cars and multiple mansions. It's just enough to keep people distracted from the winners-take-all approach that big tech and other corporations take now and will continue to take in the future. Personally, I don't know that Elon Musk is that forward of a thinker, maybe in dreaming and trying to get things done in tech but not on social issues. I've heard he hasn't necessarily been fair with his workers, possibly anti-union, which makes me question his promotion and support for UBI. Seems the skeptics of it may be right.. Then there was that rant where he called the fellow that went to rescue kids a pedo, and it didn't seem there was a good reason for it. That seems to show some instability. Just one incident that I know of, but still did not look good.
@@sandragray4598 He was anti some specific thing the Unions were trying to push. It could all be PR talk, so it's really hard to tell. Sometimes Unions are great, sometimes they are terrible. Kind of a gamble. Also don't forget that Elon Musk does not own Tesla. He is a majority shareholder, doesn't give him the entirety of the power. The board has also been trying to push him out for some time. Also Elon Musk has been pushing for everything the world needs, but has failed to do (My personal opinion being capitalism is to blame). Pushing electric cars, trying to bring us to space (If you didn't know, his rockets, and AI are both open source for anyone to view), and trying to give us more efficient both economically and environmentally transportation. He is also one of the leading runners for AI currently, while also being one of very few who are trying to enhance the brain. He may not be the scientist running all the stuff, but he is the guy who is funding, and starting up all these companies that are pushing humankind forward. Where as most of the other sectors in business are sitting still, cause advancement costs money.
Marcheal Gideon so do all the other huge tech companies like amazon and google. Rightfully so they should pay taxes like everyone else.Elon understands this
Nah, the #yanggang will be alive and growing long after the presidential election if it doesn't include yang. It is a movement at this point, spanning across countries.
I'm a republican by heart and always rooted for Republican. When this dude showed up I cried like a baby. I'll go democratic for the Yang Gang. FINALLY!!!! A TRUE REAL PRESIDENT!!
I'm halfway through life and have never donated to any politian. But I have donated 4 times to Yang's campaign. Great interview, it's good to see Yang enjoyed Stephen's jokes.
This is also the first time I have ever donated to a candidate. This Yang guy is incredible! And he isn't a stupid meanie who calls people names! I am absolutely appalled with trump!
I'm only 20 and just made my first donation. I hope it's an investment in my future and the future of my generation. Thank you all for donating. #yanggang
Wish he had mentioned Venture for America... the fact that he founded it, invested his own money and created thousands of jobs across the US... just for the sake of it - not for profit. Hes a real patriot... puts his money where his mouth is.
I don't understand why he doesn't bring up Venture for America more... He goes in depth about it in his first book, and there you see the building blocks of his campaign already in his head years before he decided to run. It seems to me like it should be a benefit to talk about it.
Once he starts talking about his personal interest the other candidates will destroy him for it. He needs to stick to the issues. He starts using his campaign as an advertisement campaign he will lose a lot of people
we're too used to the long form which we found out about yang like on the breakfast club or joe rogan. the late show is a comedy show and to make stephen colbert have him only 7 minutes youre on a clock . they had 3 guests for the program and doggy segment. so ball is really in colberts court
The bank bailouts were literally one of the main catalysts behind the creation of the Tea Party movement, and any candidate, Republican or Democrat, that voted for TARP was chided by Tea Partiers for that vote. Any responsible citizen or politician should always ask "where are you getting the money" for any new spending program and "where are you cutting expenses" for any proposed tax cut.
@@shakysliders1689 You are right, responsible citizens should ask, and indeed Yang has devoted an entire webpage that dives into the numbers behind the Freedom Dividend: www.yang2020.com/what-is-ubi/
Isaac Daniel O I supported Bernie, now I support Yang. I agree with you that Bernie has fought the hard fight for the past few DECADES, and that deserves its own respect. However we need someone who can beat Donald Trump, and if Yang is not the nominee then all of that Former trump support might just disappear, and BOOM, 4 more years of organutan
@@isaacorourke3751 I hear you about Bernie. I was also torn between the two as I'm a grandma so know that Bernie has walked the walk. But then I spent more time listening to Yang and now I have to go with what makes the most sense to me. If Bernie wins the primary and or is leading the polls by the time of the primary of course I'll vote for him but for now it's the Yang Gang all the way, Baby!
As of now, #AndrewYang has surpassed: Booker Gillibrand Delaney Castro de Blasio Klobuchar Inslee Ryan Swalwell Hickenlooper Bennet Gabbard Moulton Bullock O'Rourke (tied) the debates are less than a week away.
Barely any politician talks about automation taking away jobs... it’s just about,”we will create more jobs”, while not looking at why they’re losing jobs.
They paint the picture of evil rich people and nice innocent poor people. Yang breaks it down to fundamentals. Tech has replaced jobs and increased profits of big corps, which means more money in their pockets and less in working class
That’s precisely the problem, unemployment is being created from automation and many people don’t see this, they just accept it. My niece and 2 of her colleagues lost their job after their bank introduced automated banking.....but the bank said nothing about how much extra money they were making and none of the savings were passed back to their customers. Andrew Yang, I hate to say it, is too young, not white and too smart. Oh! Hang on.....we elected someone similar once before to become President. He turned out damn good!!!!

@@furball8967 I like Yang. The other guy you mention, not so much.
The reason were losing job is a verrryyy unique one in all of history and we cant keep making jobs by planned obsolescence like we have and creating fake bullshit jobs ... And the money is right there in the economy already
Longtime Colbert fan here! I've been in the Yanggang since the beginning of the year. So happy to see him finally on the show! To all my other Colbert fans... If you're Yangcurious... I encourage you to look him up!! Watch a good podcast he's done. He's a candidate to get excited about and has been consistently impressive to watch. Quick answers to some questions on his proposal: Is this a rich to poor transfer? It's not. Will it cause inflation? No, it won't. And I encourage you to find out why. Yang has the MATH to back it up. Research it for yourself. We're the richest and most advanced society in the history of the world and we absolutely CAN afford to secure ourselves a bag!! #Yanggang
He's not a modern leftist anyway. You don't need to go left, you just need to go Andrew Yang. Spread the word to other republicans, you can ALL benefit big time.
*HERE'S THE ANSWER TO "WILL UBI CAUSE INFLATION?"* The US printed $4 Trillion for banks during the bailout (recession of 2008) and there was no inflation in consumer goods. Even though traditional economics says printing money causes inflation, this is funded by a tax which adds no new money into circulation. • In your own life a lot of stuff is getting cheaper and better. (EX: Electronics, Clothing, Cars, Media, Food (for the most part)). • It takes just one company/restaurant to not raise prices once UBI quicks in, and people will continue to consume where its still affordable. • Things actually driving up in price: Housing, Education and Health Care. Those 3 things are not driven by the fact that we have more money to spend. Health Care: Price has gone up b/c of the private insurance investment, opaque pricing and lack of negotiating the price. Education: College price has gone up 250% but has not gotten 2.5x better. Students and families feel like they have no choice but to pay for it, since getting a degree will give you higher employment opportunity. And a lot of the student loans were generated immorally to bank off students. Housing: People feel like they have to live in certain areas to access certain economic opportunities. Reason why housing has gone up in NYC & SF is due to: Local Gov. & Zoning ordinance not allowing for affordable housing.
Andrew Yang will bring balance back to the US economy. He is bringing in the solution to make capitalism work for everyone and revive entrepreneurship. He wants to bring back journalism to all parts of our country to expose problems and bring attention to them. Check out his website for all his policies. But a warning though, prepare for your mind to be blown when you read his proposed solutions.
@@paulchamberlain8355 I have a good job a nice house and we took a kid off the streets. We are living pay check to pay check. That extra 2 grand a month would do great things for us today and would be able to help our daughter in the future. I can't imagine what it would do for people who do not have as good a job as I do. I am not a fan of just raising taxes to accomplish this. Yang has multiple ways to pay for it not just raise the taxes.
I’m a Brit and am jealous you got this wonderful man running for office. Hopefully he gets voted in and his policies spread across the world. I wanna be in the Yang Gang
"Yeah let's take money from big companies and give it to people I'm sure the companies that we take money from will love it so much that the government is taking their money that they'll hire more employees and increase wages!" God damn liberals need to set their feet in reality.
Only older, entitled trust fund babies refuse to understand Yang's UBI policy. They think it is a handout to the underprivileged or working class (but they are in such denial the money and assets they have was handed to them for doing nothing except being born into privilege). When i first heard about him awhile ago, I thought Yang was nuts. I thought like many skeptics, "How?" Then I researched and learned about his policies and I was very impressed with his ideas, plans and solutions. I told my husband about him a few months ago and my husband thought Yang was insane. I encouraged him to research him and listen to interviews. After he did, he changed his mind about Yang.
@Tom Hewitt it's not 'free stuff'. When you invest in a company, you see dividends every term because you're a shareholder. Well you're a shareholder of America, being a citizen and investing by paying taxes. That's the dividend that you get. I'm serious before you ridicule him you might want to check out how he's implementing it. It's a great idea
Weird how people think he said live off 12k a year 😅 he's basically saying, do whatever job you want and make how ever much you want, but here's an extra $1000 a month, JUST IN CASE! #YangGang 🙂
@@namewithheld7835 it's policy. A politician offering A tax cut is just as much a bribe as Andrew's Freedom Dividend. The only difference is that what Yang is proposing will certainly benefit you.
He is literally what everyone has been moaning to have as a president and he gets such little recognition compared to what he deserves. I’m voting for him and millions of others should follow along
I do wish he could have explained that better though. At least he got in that it wasn't just a hollow shot at Trump. It'll be interesting which policies he's able to get to explaining on Thursday.
Andrew Yang use to visit the White House under Obama and he’s got friends there, this recommendation predates Trump, he sensed that White House staff are under a lot of stress and feels it’s important for staff to be able to get psychological help.
@Bill Turner Yeah, more fast food minimum wage dead end jobs with no benefits then ever before! What a wonderful future that we have to get in line with! ... 😐
Bill Turner that's where you're wrong. The data shows otherwise and it's about to get a lot worse. Unless you're a skilled software engineer or the likes, you're about to get pounded by the job market.
Yang is so refreshing as a candidate. Would love to have a data driven, economically minded, business-experienced pragmatic visionary that doesn’t spew divisive rhetoric in the White House. The first Democrat I’ve ever been excited for and the first candidate I’ve ever financially supported. UBI properly implemented is one of the most effective, efficient, simple, fair, and cheapest ways to accomplish many of the progressive economic/inequality goals that truly benefit everyone.
If you haven’t seen his interview will Bill Maher he explains exactly how this reduces red tape and help alleviate the strain on the other social systems not place like food stamps and subsidized housing.
@@jandolejsi8122 I agree in that a certain amount of electability comes from assertiveness because they forced themselves into the debate, even to just state the obvious in a passionate way. I don't think Yang is used to the necessity of being rude and aggressive in circumstances like these but I hope he learns to force himself into the conversation more. I also wish NBC was better at hosting something more sensible instead of having basically a 10-person free-for-all with very little rules where the more cunning strategists get more spotlight by being uncivil.
what a breath of fresh air! This man does not care for the vague feelgood rambling you get from other candidates. The other candidates tell you absolutely nothing 99% of the time. In contrast this guy is almost completely focused on clear talking points. 1 minute of yang tells you 10 times more than 15 minutes of harris. Can you imagine how great it would be if all candidates were like that?? holy shit! people would actually have something to vote for!
Any candidate can give out “free money”, why he’s a great candidate is because he has a real plan to make it happen. With many great detailed policies that will benefit ALL Americans.
I have heard Bernie say it a hundred times the only thing he says to hell pay for it is to raise the taxes on the rich. Yang has been saying loud and clear that it is not just high taxes. It will also get a lot of people off if welfare which would help save the money. Then the trickle effect on the economy. He has some more way that it will help.
The idea would be to get to the point that most of the 126 welfare programs go away because they are no longer needed. Have you ever talked to anyone who is on these programs? Most would prefer cash they can do whatever they want with with no income reporting, no case manager etc. The left wing attack on UBI seems to be from people who think its more important to keep these programs whether they actually work or not or whether they actually help anyone or not. Its very strange....
@@akaMouse I grew up on welfare. I used to have to walk to grocery store with big pretty colored food stamps to buy milk. My mother was disabled and could not work. She got 800 month to take care of 2 kids. She could have worked part time from home to make a little extra cash but would lose her benefits.
Finally a politician looking out for people like me. Why would anyone choose welfare over UBI? Welfare is designed to keep you poor. You can take your UBI, invest it in going to college or starting a business and then you can become rich + you still keep your UBI. This is getting the incentives right and building a real trickle up economy.
@Lerch In an ideal world sure, but the problem is that soon there won't be enough work. Automation is putting more people out of work at a rate much faster than it is creating jobs. And the volume of jobs being erased is exponentially higher than the new ones created. UBI will soon be a necessity, like healthcare. Better we implement it now at our terms, than later when catastrophe demands it.
@@icecreambrainz8726 There are millions of high tech jobs that needs to be filled TODAY all over the world. Instead of encouraging people to fill these positions, learn and work, we want to pay them to stay at home and stop the progress. Because progress and automation is EVIL! In the last decade (while recording a record high progress in Automation) unemployment rate went DOWN from 10% to under 4%. Teach kids to learn, work and make progress, not to rob workers pockets.
@ silys that's probably the road marking is better there in Sweden. I heard AY says self driving trucks are at 98% ready & the remaining 2% are road marking and some other random stuff for it to work in the US. 5G will make it better also. There is an intelligent highway only for self driving vehicles in China which is building up for the 2022 Winter Olympic game in China. It will all power by solar along the highway for continuous 24/7 battery charging and all 5G capable.

@@dewaynethomas3122 - He could have given more than a few minutes, NOT done the 'circumcision' question, and drilled down into any of dozens of more interesting proposals Yang has. He could have told the singer who came afterwards 'we'll have you back tomorrow night, we need to hear more from this guy', he could have let him explain his background to include his work in the midwest helping people get jobs better and realizing that we're about to be hit by a tsunami of job losses (which tends to lead to bloody revolutions). He could have read Yang's book and understood fully the issues at hand, rather than rely on some (not very funny) writers to give him his material. That said, yeah, thanks for having him on. But it could have been SO much better. I'm continually astonished that this level of 'interview' suffices when things are so dire and getting worse by the day. We have a raping psychopath in the White House, people are so economically terrified that some still actually support him, and this miracle comes along and he's sandwiched in between godknowswhat and some singer... Really?
@Jaffacus Yeah, I would much rather have $0.00. $0.00 is way better! Why are people so dumb lol? They would rather have $1000 instead of $0.00!? Wake up sheeple! Why would you choose $1000 when you could have $0.00? smh
Yes, Trump and his face plastered on the TV is exhausting. But no matter who is president, you don't have to worry about what they are doing every day and you should go about your life. Everyone would be better off doing this.
Hmm but you SHOULD concern yourself with what any US President does while in office. A President is not a King. The watchful eye of the people he is elected to serve is very important in a democracy. Don't just blindly trust the government to take care of you. The left likes to throw the words "Stay Woke" a lot without putting any real thought behind it. I'd tell you to always "Stay Informed".
This guy is the future man. Everything about him; his vision, his truth-to-nonsense attitude, his hard facts and real talk. He's damn sure got my vote.
I'd vote for him even without the UBI thing. Lots of small but significant ideas that you won't hear most politicians talking about. I'm torn between Yang and Bernie.
@@joannetyler8390 I like Bernie, but his plans are 20th century when Yang has 21th century solutions. $15/hr minimum wage increase won't help mothers and caretakers or the homeless or abused women or LGBTQ.

He's the only candidate that understands the current economy. The GDP of the U.S. has grown by 50% over the last 20 years. We generate 50% more wealth than we did 20 years ago. Businesses are having record profits. Despite all this, the average income of Americans has stayed the same over those same 20 years. This is not because of immigrants nor foreign labor. This is because of automation. Every year, our economy automates away more and more jobs. Our manufacturing sector is nearly completely automated. Millions of jobs have already been replaced there. Self-driving trucks are gonna replace four million truck drivers in the coming decade. Twenty-nine million retail jobs will be replaced soon after. The list goes on. Even doctors and lawyers aren't safe from automation in the future. There will be no new industries to replace those jobs like in past industrial revolutions. We will have an abundance of wealth, but no need for labor. Our economy is fine and will continue to grow. The people are not fine because they are no longer needed to produce our nation's wealth. It's time to make automation work for the people instead of compete against them. It's time to tax automated goods and services and to give that revenue to the people. Taxing automation will allow us to abolish income tax on citizens. You keep what you earn and receive free income from automation.
So frustrating to finally truly believe in a candidate and then watch the big media companies completely ignore his campaign. He was one of the first to qualify for the debates, but they only asked him 3 questions all night. Just sad.
Yeah. This interview did not age well. I'm watching this after having already watched the debates. If only he had done as well, and had more opportunity to speak, as he had done in this interview. I'm still annoyed that the crazy author lady, Marianne, had more speaking time than Yang did.

I think he’s the most studied candidates next to warren but if he’s not gonna do the other half of the work of taking speaking time, then it’s not surprising he only spoke 3 minutes.

Hype Spade I mean, that just makes no sense... all those other nameless nobodies got to talk! I don’t get the strategy of letting those dudes talk and not him... I mean, I would’ve just stormed the stage and made a scene or something. Why would those guys have more speaking time? They were so forgettable....
Andrew Yang is the only candidate that’s worth my vote I want him to be in the White House to clean up the swamp and to get America into the right direction regardless of the freedom dividend, this man is is more than qualified to be president because he’s brilliant he’s got well-thought-out solutions for the 21st-century issues and he’s got all the ideas that would help progress America so the next level
That’s what I love about yang. He isn’t a one trick pony, even if freedom dividend falls through he would be more than capable of fixing a lot of issues in our current government, or at least address them
I salute you but the thing with a presidency i suspect is that none of the candidates really know how much their idealism is going to be crushed once they are in office. Industry has just too much influence and power in politics.
@@richardwillford2418 - Biden and Bernie are both almost 80 years old. They had their chance; both have been in office for decades and what changes have they managed to make? They'll both be lucky to not have died of natural causes by Inauguration Day.
@@CockatooDude I'd honestly argue that Jay Inslee is just as driven and focused on his core issue of addressing climate change. But whereas Yang has over 100 policies listed on his website, Jay has basically one super detailed climate plan that's mostly full of good ideas and would be good for the economy... but really nothing else. He's a one trick pony with zero shot at the White House who just wants to insert climate into the conversation.
Great interview, but these short segments don't let Yang get deep into his policies. Yang is the real deal and has a lot of serious proposals. If you want to learn more, look up his interviews with Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, Fox News, Breakfast Club, David Rubin, Freakonomics, Ben Shapiro, and many others.
Of course you are ignorant then.ignorant of what communism is. Nothing Yang suggests is communist. If it where so the agricultural workfare programs are communist. Yang is proposing socialist solutions. So what? here in the USA actual socialism, begins within our constitution.
You should check out his policies on his website. He is more detailed about what he would do about issues in the country than most of the other candidates.
Im voting for.him but i feel.his chances are lower than trump's when he first announce. Also, I have a unscientific conspiracy theory about the DNC. DNC now wants all these.left wing candidates to run. The more of yang types more of our votes get drowned.out since. Group A goes for Bernie group B for Tulsa gabbard group C for Warren. Group D for yang. While group X. X being centrist Americans vote for.fucking Biden. I'm really scared about this. I remember in the early stages. If u added up all.the percentages of votes pertaining to all.the left candidates. Left as in Bernie Sanders left. Between 5 or 6 candidates. It was like 54% while Biden got 45% but the 54% got spread out to being like 10, 12, 8, 5. So Biden has a huge lead. Theres a reason why Bernie got frauded out cause.he was.the ONLY left person running therefor outpacing Hillary. I'm even torn. I love Tulsi gabbard, Bernie and yang. But who do I vote.for? Tulsi gabbard wants a bill signed to enforce the constitutional right.that no president can wage war WITHOUT the approval of Congress.

That's all great and all but correct me if i am wrong but the population of united states is 330 million. If we gave every person only 1000 dollars not even a month just a 1 time payment. That is 330 billion dollars. He wants to do this a month (1 trillion dollars after 3 months) and i am a left leaning moderate and think we need more social programs in America and socialism is not an inherently bad thing. However this is prolly the worst kind of socialism. I don't want to sound like a republican because they say this talking point so much it is crying wolf syndrome but this time it would be true. Even if we cut every program the government pays for even military funding to 0 we still could not afford this a year. I am sure yang is a great guy but this is just Trumps Wall or Obamas Gitmo (Fun fact my picture you see is me serving in Gitmo when obama ran and won the presidency I knew he would never close us down because we did more than detain accused terrorists). All Yang ever seems to talk about is standing next to Biden so he is noticed and this 1k idea which is just not feasible at all to get noticed at all. Warren Sanders Harris even Mayor Pete seem to be much better candidates with rationale ideas. I am not trying to be mean just realistic. Also since you read this far Biden does not seem to have much of a plan either he is Obamas vice and the most conservative Democrat that is his platform and Trump is bad which is legit Hiliary Clinton all over again don't make the same mistake America.
Dildonion a few things. 1. Not all Americans qualify, only adults, only those not incarcerated. Also it’s opt in and doesn’t stack with certain existing welfare programs like food stamps, housing assistance, etc. so the real monthly number is much lower. 2. Majority is paid for by VAT, which is half of the European level. This makes it harder for corporations to find tax loopholes since it occurs at each step of the production chain. So in reality this is a redistribution of wealth from the top most profitable corporations to all citizens in the bottom 95% of wealth. 3. You may think this redistribution is too drastic but not there has been a worrying trend for some time now, corporate profits as a percentage of GDP was 5% in the 1970s and is 10% today. In large part because large corporations are becoming more efficient. I’ll use manufacturing as an example. The number of manufacturing employees is half of what existed in the 70s but manufacturing productivity is at an all time high. This is due entirely to automation which enriches the owners of manufacturing firms but hurts those laid off. This trend will continue us as self driving cars and human voice AI take over transportation and call center industries. Corporation profits as a percentage of GDP will continue to soar, leaving less of the economic pie for US workers. So in effect, this is a slight reversal of that trend because companies that hire the best out of ivy leagues are only going to accelerate their efficiency in labor automation while the common citizen will struggle more and more to find employment for their labor.
I didn't think i could like Yang more, but and then he brought up MMA fighter pay. MMA fighters are getting more screwed over financially than any other athlete and are at risk of more long-term health problems than any other sport. Bravo.
guitarjunky mma is the focal point but just like wrestlers, stage actors, semipro players of many levels etc. they are independent contractors and are at the mercy of whoever may pay for their services. No health insurance, no retirement options, often no pay for travel etc. it’s carney rip offs and I’m glad he’s ready to do something about it.
More than ANY other athlete? NCAA athletes earn millions for their schools and get paid nothing-and Yang wants to change that. www.yang2020.com/policies/ncaa-pay-athletes/
Not anymore han college athletes who not only make zero while their schools and sponsors make hundreds of millions, but they are also barred from owning any business or sell any service related to their sports career. NCAA athletes are basically slaves.
Andrew Yang should get his own show after he spends 8 years straightening out America from the oval office. The man has humor, personality, and smarts!
Andrew Yang is the only candidate that my Trump voting family and I have agreed on in many years! He is smart, personable, and has lots of great ideas that benefit everyone in our country. Unlike other candidates, he is uniting people with his policies that help everyone. He has over 100 policies on his page to help move us successfully forward! Not Left, Not Right, Forward! #YangGang #Yang2020
It would be so great to see this left-wing polarization trend to start to recede, everyone becoming more reasonable and not thinking about everything in terms of good-vs-evil.
@@thomasnewton8223 if they aren't the cause of it, aren't you saying the left is a victim of polarization? That's silly. The left never claims to be victims (sarcasm). If it's intellectually misleading to call Bernie and his followers Communists, then it's just as much a falsehood to call Trump supporters white supremacist Nazi's. The left passive aggressively divides the nation recklessly using words like "concentration camps" and "Gestapo ICE raids" to get more idiots to join in the emotional echo chamber.
The best thing about Andrew Yang is that he can go deep into policy, check out some of his longer form interviews on Joe Rogan, Sam Harris, Dave Rubin and even Ben Shapiro. He's thought about the issues and it reflects in his platform.
Its sad to see how he is the only one who seems to be genuine and truly care for the people only to be silenced by the corporations and just about ignored by the DNC. This should make us promote him more! #YANGGANG2020
Why r all the Democrats for Open Borders ,Amnesty ,Giving Medicare to Over 12 to 40 Million Illegal Aliens .And U cant have Medicare for All with Open Borders ,And It Cost 3.2 Trillion For His 1,000 $ a Month Plan ,We could afford Medicare For American Citizens End The Bush,Obama Wars .Close The Borders and Have it Only For American Citizens Stop Being a Party for Illegal Aliens I'm a Independent Won't Vote For this BS .
His signature UBI idea not only protects people from the threat of automation but also protects American jobs from overseas competition due to VAT (value added tax)
If Amazon takes their business overseas, the VAT is more expensive than what Yang is proposing, especially in Europe. So Amazon has no other choice but to stay in America
I dunno if a good idea there has anything to do with him being qualified to run the country, or what he intends to do to civil rights and social programs, Or, you know, actual things a President has to do. When the US elects 'businessmen' it generally turns out horribly, and it's usually the Republicans doing it.
@@OllamhDrab All he has to do is pick a good VP or just be the VP himself. Yang/Tulsi would be a good combo for political experience, not caving in to special interests, and actually coming up with good new ideas that focus on our people at home.
" Lost his old occupation But it wasn't immigration It was a machine, automation that replaced him." - Grandson Automation is even in the small things we don't notice exsanple T-Mobile you can save $10 a month if you have auto payments rather than having to calling yourself and speak to a human being because they would rather save you $10 then having to hire someone to take the calls and pay them per hour, you don't want to speak to a person and they don't want to spend the money and in their eyes it's a win-win situation even if someone just lost their job.
I dont know your experience, but. My career is moving machining to a fully automated, engineering position. Well. All machinists are supposed to be doing that... That's a long story I digress. Anyway as a human who makes his living by actively trying to automate my own job away, I can say with certainty that encouraging automation is the only surefire way to be out on top economically as a country, and every job that's automated away opens up two jobs for advancing science and arts, and one job that nobody realized was necessary. But, the only way to actually see these advances is to pay everyone a wage, and lower costs/encourage corporate partnerships in regards to Universities. I have personally eliminated my position twice, and the companies I did this for each where afraid to benifit from that, they kept me and my team on for years, unneeded twddling our thumbs and watching TV all day; because they where afraid that we would become needed. With UBI that problem is solved, companies can embrace automaton without fearing their labour pool is going to suddenly be homeless if they are needed in the future.
@@allhumansarejusthuman.5776 I have to say from the little you tell me about your job I'm quite intrigued and although I'm going to sound quite contradictive I agree with you, we as a society need to grow with our Advanced Technologies, and I have to admit I'm all for automation. And with how powerful tech advancements are getting we need to step up our game we can't afford to slow down. It sucks to admit it, but as someone who has been an introvert their entire lives with mild anxiety the option of automation is quite beneficial to my mental health. I was working at Walmart right around the time self-checkout started becoming a thing luckily right around that time I went from day shift to overnight because I had started with my schooling again and for that first year I always wondered why there was no real talk about people being let go and that's when I started to realize what exactly Walmart was doing, instead of firing the cashier's what they were doing is firing the stalkers instead ( and for some really bogus reasons too) and they would move the cashier's to the floor and that way it kind of just went under the radar and no one would notice. & I recently found out that within the last year they now have this giant machine that separates the freight for the back room which was what the unloaders was for. From what I was told they let go some of the unloaders because they no longer had use for them because the machine is practically doing all the work now. Ever since then I started to pay more attention to the small things like that but it still doesn't change my mind about how I feel about moving forward.
Andrew Yang has over 100+ GREAT policies on his site. He is the ONLY candidate that's talking about REAL Solutions rather than problems. And why Universal Basic Income is our future! yang2020.com/policies
We need to put a proper foundation for UBI in place first. That will not be easy considering no one has a clue how to turn capitalism into a status where UBI can actually work.

I am proud and humbled to be the Iowa Freedom Dividend recipient. I look forward to the day when everyone can feel that little extra stress relief, and I assure you all, Andrew is an amazing person face to face. His visit with us was super informal, he just sat with us and talked and explained his policies. Through my work and my bands, I have meet some of my favorite 'rock stars' over the years and it has never been a big deal to me. Seeing Andrew at my door, I was a little star struck. Here's a man that could change the world at my sad little broken down door. He was in no hurry, even though he had an event coming up soon. We joked, laughed, and the way he reached out and touched my mom's shoulder while telling her she has done so well fighting and beating cancer was an amazing thing to see and his praise for me being around and taking care of her through the whole battle every single day for three years now was an incredible feeling. Many out there fighting like we are. Many out there deserve and/or need this more than we do. This little extra bit of cash will allow my mom to be more independent from me which will in turn allow me to begin rebuilding my businesses to where it once was and acquiring some of the equipment I have sold over the years to make ends meet. Mom just got the all clear from cancer again yesterday. Doctor doesn't expect it to come back. So between that news, and Andrew's help for the next 12 months we are feeling pretty damn good about things for the first time in a few years. Thank you, Andrew. Slay at the debates!

Elon musk just endorsed this guy. That’s says a lot for a forward thinker that owns a tech company endorsing another forward thinker that wants to tax tech company’s. Great minds think alike
Elon Musk put the idea of UBI, relating it to automation,, in the spotlight a couple years or so ago. Mark Zuckerberg quickly followed. Apparently it's an idea that's been bouncing around the tech industry for quite a while.
It really wasn't a surprise that he endorsed Yang. I honestly thought Elon Musk was the one who put it into Andrew Yang's head to run as soon as I heard Yang's main policy was UBI.
An alternate take on UBI is that it's just crumbs tossed out for the masses to keep them from going all French Revolution on the rich. In other words, it a band-aid that's not going to do much. They throw us their pocket change and we should be okay with their million dollar cars and multiple mansions. It's just enough to keep people distracted from the winners-take-all approach that big tech and other corporations take now and will continue to take in the future.
Personally, I don't know that Elon Musk is that forward of a thinker, maybe in dreaming and trying to get things done in tech but not on social issues. I've heard he hasn't necessarily been fair with his workers, possibly anti-union, which makes me question his promotion and support for UBI. Seems the skeptics of it may be right.. Then there was that rant where he called the fellow that went to rescue kids a pedo, and it didn't seem there was a good reason for it. That seems to show some instability. Just one incident that I know of, but still did not look good.
@@sandragray4598 He was anti some specific thing the Unions were trying to push. It could all be PR talk, so it's really hard to tell. Sometimes Unions are great, sometimes they are terrible. Kind of a gamble.
Also don't forget that Elon Musk does not own Tesla. He is a majority shareholder, doesn't give him the entirety of the power. The board has also been trying to push him out for some time.
Also Elon Musk has been pushing for everything the world needs, but has failed to do (My personal opinion being capitalism is to blame). Pushing electric cars, trying to bring us to space (If you didn't know, his rockets, and AI are both open source for anyone to view), and trying to give us more efficient both economically and environmentally transportation.
He is also one of the leading runners for AI currently, while also being one of very few who are trying to enhance the brain.
He may not be the scientist running all the stuff, but he is the guy who is funding, and starting up all these companies that are pushing humankind forward. Where as most of the other sectors in business are sitting still, cause advancement costs money.
Fuck Elon Musk lol
Elon Musk lives off taxpayer dollars he. If it wasn't for government influence his company would be bankrupt.
Marcheal Gideon so do all the other huge tech companies like amazon and google. Rightfully so they should pay taxes like everyone else.Elon understands this

Wish he had mentioned Venture for America... the fact that he founded it, invested his own money and created thousands of jobs across the US... just for the sake of it - not for profit. Hes a real patriot... puts his money where his mouth is.
I don't understand why he doesn't bring up Venture for America more... He goes in depth about it in his first book, and there you see the building blocks of his campaign already in his head years before he decided to run. It seems to me like it should be a benefit to talk about it.
had a limited amount of time and wanted to make it more about what he'll do when elected than his previous success so i cant blame him there
Best comment :)
Once he starts talking about his personal interest the other candidates will destroy him for it. He needs to stick to the issues. He starts using his campaign as an advertisement campaign he will lose a lot of people
we're too used to the long form which we found out about yang like on the breakfast club or joe rogan. the late show is a comedy show and to make stephen colbert have him only 7 minutes youre on a clock . they had 3 guests for the program and doggy segment. so ball is really in colberts court
"When we bailed out Wall Street in 2008, no one asked, Where are you getting the money?"
The bank bailouts were literally one of the main catalysts behind the creation of the Tea Party movement, and any candidate, Republican or Democrat, that voted for TARP was chided by Tea Partiers for that vote. Any responsible citizen or politician should always ask "where are you getting the money" for any new spending program and "where are you cutting expenses" for any proposed tax cut.
@@shakysliders1689 You are right, responsible citizens should ask, and indeed Yang has devoted an entire webpage that dives into the numbers behind the Freedom Dividend: www.yang2020.com/what-is-ubi/
Or the auto industry. or the Trillions we just gave to US corporations through trump.
what is crazy is the Modern Monetary Policy has a completely unintuitive take on why money is there at all. What is crazier is that it might be right.

@@JohnEboyee which four?
Booker is a robot, and a badlly programmed one at that.
Barely any politician talks about automation taking away jobs... it’s just about,”we will create more jobs”, while not looking at why they’re losing jobs.
They paint the picture of evil rich people and nice innocent poor people. Yang breaks it down to fundamentals. Tech has replaced jobs and increased profits of big corps, which means more money in their pockets and less in working class
That’s precisely the problem, unemployment is being created from automation and many people don’t see this, they just accept it.
My niece and 2 of her colleagues lost their job after their bank introduced automated banking.....but the bank said nothing about how much extra money they were making and none of the savings were passed back to their customers. Andrew Yang, I hate to say it, is too young, not white and too smart. Oh! Hang on.....we elected someone similar once before to become President. He turned out damn good!!!!
@@furball8967 I like Yang. The other guy you mention, not so much.

*HERE'S THE ANSWER TO "WILL UBI CAUSE INFLATION?"*
The US printed $4 Trillion for banks during the bailout (recession of 2008) and there was no inflation in consumer goods.
Even though traditional economics says printing money causes inflation, this is funded by a tax which adds no new money into circulation.
• In your own life a lot of stuff is getting cheaper and better. (EX: Electronics, Clothing, Cars, Media, Food (for the most part)).
• It takes just one company/restaurant to not raise prices once UBI quicks in, and people will continue to consume where its still affordable.
• Things actually driving up in price: Housing, Education and Health Care. Those 3 things are not driven by the fact that we have more money to spend.
Health Care: Price has gone up b/c of the private insurance investment, opaque pricing and lack of negotiating the price.
Education: College price has gone up 250% but has not gotten 2.5x better. Students and families feel like they have no choice but to pay for it, since getting a degree will give you higher employment opportunity. And a lot of the student loans were generated immorally to bank off students.
Housing: People feel like they have to live in certain areas to access certain economic opportunities. Reason why housing has gone up in NYC & SF is due to: Local Gov. & Zoning ordinance not allowing for affordable housing.
12k ain't gonna do jack shit.
Andrew Yang will bring balance back to the US economy. He is bringing in the solution to make capitalism work for everyone and revive entrepreneurship. He wants to bring back journalism to all parts of our country to expose problems and bring attention to them. Check out his website for all his policies.

I am not a fan of just raising taxes to accomplish this. Yang has multiple ways to pay for it not just raise the taxes.
It won't cause inflation because it's money already in the economy
Well VAT will couse a slight inflation but only year incomes 120.000$ and more could be affected

When i first heard about him awhile ago, I thought Yang was nuts. I thought like many skeptics, "How?" Then I researched and learned about his policies and I was very impressed with his ideas, plans and solutions.
I told my husband about him a few months ago and my husband thought Yang was insane. I encouraged him to research him and listen to interviews. After he did, he changed his mind about Yang.
Tom Hewitt that’s not what it is. Go to his website and read about the policy before you go mock it. Thx👋🏼

Not to mention the least bureaucratic way to accomplish these goals too.

Sanders and Warren also have detailed plans. The pool of democrats running is strong.
I have heard Bernie say it a hundred times the only thing he says to hell pay for it is to raise the taxes on the rich.
Yang has been saying loud and clear that it is not just high taxes. It will also get a lot of people off if welfare which would help save the money. Then the trickle effect on the economy. He has some more way that it will help.
The idea would be to get to the point that most of the 126 welfare programs go away because they are no longer needed. Have you ever talked to anyone who is on these programs? Most would prefer cash they can do whatever they want with with no income reporting, no case manager etc. The left wing attack on UBI seems to be from people who think its more important to keep these programs whether they actually work or not or whether they actually help anyone or not. Its very strange....
@@akaMouse I grew up on welfare. I used to have to walk to grocery store with big pretty colored food stamps to buy milk.
My mother was disabled and could not work. She got 800 month to take care of 2 kids. She could have worked part time from home to make a little extra cash but would lose her benefits.
Finally a politician looking out for people like me. Why would anyone choose welfare over UBI? Welfare is designed to keep you poor. You can take your UBI, invest it in going to college or starting a business and then you can become rich + you still keep your UBI. This is getting the incentives right and building a real trickle up economy.
I'm starting to like Andrew Yang more and more. I'm gonna watch this guy more.
Minimum income as a right of citizenship? Finally an idea I can get behind. #yang2020
right?!?
Welcome to the #yanggang
Except it's not a right of citizenship for the poor and disabled, unless Yang thinks they are less than full citizens.
@Lerch In an ideal world sure, but the problem is that soon there won't be enough work. Automation is putting more people out of work at a rate much faster than it is creating jobs. And the volume of jobs being erased is exponentially higher than the new ones created. UBI will soon be a necessity, like healthcare. Better we implement it now at our terms, than later when catastrophe demands it.
@@icecreambrainz8726 There are millions of high tech jobs that needs to be filled TODAY all over the world. Instead of encouraging people to fill these positions, learn and work, we want to pay them to stay at home and stop the progress. Because progress and automation is EVIL! In the last decade (while recording a record high progress in Automation) unemployment rate went DOWN from 10% to under 4%. Teach kids to learn, work and make progress, not to rob workers pockets.

@ silys that's probably the road marking is better there in Sweden. I heard AY says self driving trucks are at 98% ready & the remaining 2% are road marking and some other random stuff for it to work in the US. 5G will make it better also.

He's the only candidate that understands the current economy. The GDP of the U.S. has grown by 50% over the last 20 years. We generate 50% more wealth than we did 20 years ago. Businesses are having record profits. Despite all this, the average income of Americans has stayed the same over those same 20 years. This is not because of immigrants nor foreign labor. This is because of automation. Every year, our economy automates away more and more jobs. Our manufacturing sector is nearly completely automated. Millions of jobs have already been replaced there. Self-driving trucks are gonna replace four million truck drivers in the coming decade. Twenty-nine million retail jobs will be replaced soon after. The list goes on. Even doctors and lawyers aren't safe from automation in the future. There will be no new industries to replace those jobs like in past industrial revolutions. We will have an abundance of wealth, but no need for labor.
Our economy is fine and will continue to grow. The people are not fine because they are no longer needed to produce our nation's wealth. It's time to make automation work for the people instead of compete against them. It's time to tax automated goods and services and to give that revenue to the people. Taxing automation will allow us to abolish income tax on citizens. You keep what you earn and receive free income from automation.

Yeah. This interview did not age well. I'm watching this after having already watched the debates. If only he had done as well, and had more opportunity to speak, as he had done in this interview. I'm still annoyed that the crazy author lady, Marianne, had more speaking time than Yang did.

That’s what I love about yang. He isn’t a one trick pony, even if freedom dividend falls through he would be more than capable of fixing a lot of issues in our current government, or at least address them

Group A goes for Bernie group B for Tulsa gabbard group C for Warren. Group D for yang. While group X. X being centrist Americans vote for.fucking Biden.
I'm really scared about this. I remember in the early stages. If u added up all.the percentages of votes pertaining to all.the left candidates. Left as in Bernie Sanders left. Between 5 or 6 candidates. It was like 54% while Biden got 45% but the 54% got spread out to being like 10, 12, 8, 5. So Biden has a huge lead.

That is 330 billion dollars. He wants to do this a month (1 trillion dollars after 3 months) and i am a left leaning moderate and think we need more social programs in America and socialism is not an inherently bad thing. However this is prolly the worst kind of socialism. I don't want to sound like a republican because they say this talking point so much it is crying wolf syndrome but this time it would be true. Even if we cut every program the government pays for even military funding to 0 we still could not afford this a year. I am sure yang is a great guy but this is just Trumps Wall or Obamas Gitmo (Fun fact my picture you see is me serving in Gitmo when obama ran and won the presidency I knew he would never close us down because we did more than detain accused terrorists). All Yang ever seems to talk about is standing next to Biden so he is noticed and this 1k idea which is just not feasible at all to get noticed at all. Warren Sanders Harris even Mayor Pete seem to be much better candidates with rationale ideas. I am not trying to be mean just realistic. Also since you read this far Biden does not seem to have much of a plan either he is Obamas vice and the most conservative Democrat that is his platform and Trump is bad which is legit Hiliary Clinton all over again don't make the same mistake America.
Dildonion a few things.
1. Not all Americans qualify, only adults, only those not incarcerated. Also it’s opt in and doesn’t stack with certain existing welfare programs like food stamps, housing assistance, etc. so the real monthly number is much lower.
2. Majority is paid for by VAT, which is half of the European level. This makes it harder for corporations to find tax loopholes since it occurs at each step of the production chain. So in reality this is a redistribution of wealth from the top most profitable corporations to all citizens in the bottom 95% of wealth.
3. You may think this redistribution is too drastic but not there has been a worrying trend for some time now, corporate profits as a percentage of GDP was 5% in the 1970s and is 10% today. In large part because large corporations are becoming more efficient. I’ll use manufacturing as an example. The number of manufacturing employees is half of what existed in the 70s but manufacturing productivity is at an all time high. This is due entirely to automation which enriches the owners of manufacturing firms but hurts those laid off. This trend will continue us as self driving cars and human voice AI take over transportation and call center industries. Corporation profits as a percentage of GDP will continue to soar, leaving less of the economic pie for US workers.
So in effect, this is a slight reversal of that trend because companies that hire the best out of ivy leagues are only going to accelerate their efficiency in labor automation while the common citizen will struggle more and more to find employment for their labor.

@@barkasz6066 Not this time. This time WE MAKE IT HAPPEN.
@@barkasz6066 That's depressingly true.
@@barkasz6066 Too focused on policy? Isn't that the only thing candidates should be focused on? Their fucking job?

Andrew Yang is Absolutely my candidate,.!

Dude - it's time to have Andrew back on the show!
" Lost his old occupation
But it wasn't immigration It was a machine, automation that replaced him." - Grandson
Automation is even in the small things we don't notice exsanple T-Mobile you can save $10 a month if you have auto payments rather than having to calling yourself and speak to a human being because they would rather save you $10 then having to hire someone to take the calls and pay them per hour, you don't want to speak to a person and they don't want to spend the money and in their eyes it's a win-win situation even if someone just lost their job.
I dont know your experience, but.
My career is moving machining to a fully automated, engineering position. Well. All machinists are supposed to be doing that... That's a long story I digress.
Anyway as a human who makes his living by actively trying to automate my own job away, I can say with certainty that encouraging automation is the only surefire way to be out on top economically as a country, and every job that's automated away opens up two jobs for advancing science and arts, and one job that nobody realized was necessary.
But, the only way to actually see these advances is to pay everyone a wage, and lower costs/encourage corporate partnerships in regards to Universities.
I have personally eliminated my position twice, and the companies I did this for each where afraid to benifit from that, they kept me and my team on for years, unneeded twddling our thumbs and watching TV all day; because they where afraid that we would become needed.
With UBI that problem is solved, companies can embrace automaton without fearing their labour pool is going to suddenly be homeless if they are needed in the future.
@@allhumansarejusthuman.5776 I have to say from the little you tell me about your job I'm quite intrigued and although I'm going to sound quite contradictive I agree with you, we as a society need to grow with our Advanced Technologies, and I have to admit I'm all for automation. And with how powerful tech advancements are getting we need to step up our game we can't afford to slow down. It sucks to admit it, but as someone who has been an introvert their entire lives with mild anxiety the option of automation is quite beneficial to my mental health. I was working at Walmart right around the time self-checkout started becoming a thing luckily right around that time I went from day shift to overnight because I had started with my schooling again and for that first year I always wondered why there was no real talk about people being let go and that's when I started to realize what exactly Walmart was doing, instead of firing the cashier's what they were doing is firing the stalkers instead ( and for some really bogus reasons too) and they would move the cashier's to the floor and that way it kind of just went under the radar and no one would notice. & I recently found out that within the last year they now have this giant machine that separates the freight for the back room which was what the unloaders was for. From what I was told they let go some of the unloaders because they no longer had use for them because the machine is practically doing all the work now. Ever since then I started to pay more attention to the small things like that but it still doesn't change my mind about how I feel about moving forward.
When he first announced, I didn't think he'd be getting as much momentum as he has. He's not my first pick, but well done, Yang!
The more i hear from him, the more i think he's the one. The perfect antidote to Trump without going so far left that we incite another Trump.
stiimuli Yang is not far left
Nathan Nicholas who is your first pick?
Nathan Nicholas why isn’t he ur first!! / Who do u think is better? (genuinely curious lmao)
@@threeblindchickens I didn't say he was O_o
Never heard of this guy. He seems like a great candidate. I wish him well
Whom are you voting for?
@@marragonn Not sure yet! Still doing research and want to watch the debates, but I'll be definitely be keeping an eye out for this guy.
Anyone but Trump!
@@Opine_Divine Amen to that!
Watch his Joe rogan interview! It's literally all you need for Yang!
Andrew Yang has over 100+ GREAT policies on his site. He is the ONLY candidate that's talking about REAL Solutions rather than problems. And why Universal Basic Income is our future! yang2020.com/policies
We need to put a proper foundation for UBI in place first. That will not be easy considering no one has a clue how to turn capitalism into a status where UBI can actually work.
@Jay Paul and pushed hard by Dr. Martin Luther King jr was he a radical right wing conservative?
