Same here

Max Goodman that was exactly what I experienced. I told a friend just watch this for 5 mins and if you’re not convinced then that’s fine. That was all it took!

Which video do you think is the best introduction to Andrew Yang for skeptics? Would you recommend different videos for lefties vs righties?

Glen McNiel I like this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9KCmrabvLqWgn0.html He was very relaxed, joked with the audience, and spelled out his policies in great details. There was also a Q&A at the end.

I'm Kenyan... He will change the planet!!

This is a horrible moronic way of thinking. The media should not be supporting any candidate. But I guess your okay with political bias in the media. Yang Hillary 2020!

But their coming around on him

@@CaliMeatWagon please don't corrode the message of Yang by throwing him in with the likes of the Clintons. Anyone who actually wants to consider themselves on the left, please go read A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn chapter 24 on Bill Clinton's presidency. Sections on WWII to Cold War are challenged (FYI): news.stanford.edu/news/2012/december/wineburg-historiography-zinn-122012.html Anyone who actually wants to consider themselves a feminist please watch John Oliver's interview with Monica Lewinsky: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9dneMtnr7qveZs.html, specifically 17:20-20:20 where by the end you get to hear her say "when I couldn't find a job, either somebody offered me a job for the wrong reasons - 'oh you'll be coming to our events, that's your job and there's media there' - ya know, or they're saying to me the opposite of 'well could you get a letter of indemnification from the Clintons because we rely on government money and Hillary might be president'..." -- hell just google "women who accused Bill Clinton" and start reading, see how many of those women reference interactions with Hillary

CaliMeatWagon Gaming you’re being delusional if you think that the media, especially Fox and MSNBC, aren’t biased at this point. While I agree with your philosophy that news should be as unbiased as it can, this way of thinking hasn’t been true since the fair coverage law was abolished in the 80’s. If you want to win elections, you need to obtain coverage from your party’s prime news outlet, for Andrew Yang, in this case, that’s MSNBC. It’s a sad but true reality. Sure, it needs to be changed, but that’s another conversation.

They may not want to promote enslaving the public and adding another tax on people to do this. :) The value added tax is collected by the retailer, like a sales tax is collected. So everyone pays for it, the companies just collect it for the government. Who could refuse the ubi, except the very wealthy. Whoever is in charge of the ubi distribution is the slavemaster.

Same but I can't donate because I'm broke.

If you can’t donate, then please help with phone banking! Get him to the next debate in Sept.

@@asielmilian38 Broke people can watch KZfaq nowdays?? Dayumm..

@@ameerulaqmalmalek9470 I know. KZfaq is free to watch.

Dito. He’s not corrupt he’s pure

@Wooly Exactly he's getting idiot's from the Left and Right by saying 1000 that's NOTHING....Also it's a Value Added Tax which means a tax on Consumption meaning a tax on You... He's a con man running as a Progressive when in reality he's a Libertarian.. He also said nothing on Marginal Tax Rate over 10 million.

@Wooly If he's the establishment's secret weapon, why are they acting like he doesn't exist? CNN will barely bring him up, even though he's already secured a spot in the debates, but they'll push bullshit artists like Beta or BootyJudge like they're the second coming.

@Whiskey Earned No look it up!!! It's on Consumption eventually it ends up on you.. Find Value Added tax on KZfaq.

Ever notice how temp jobs are increasingly the norm??

In ways this is kind of a Trump in the Democrat party. This should even attract voters from the right if they can listen to him long enough before labeling him a Socialist. I’ve had to fight that feeling when explaining him to friends that the rich still get this extra money as well, and that he is banking on business success to help fund this UBI while the markets remain free. In my 35 years I think this is the best economic plan I’ve heard.

Done!

Wonder if he accepts bitcoin?

Universal income is a horrible idea they are about 280 million americans currently over 18. That is about 2.8 trillion dollars a year. Amazon the most wealthy company is not even close to that so how can the companies afford to pay that every year.

Daily Dose of Reality I never heard him say he was getting the money from only one company. I think he said the money would come from the companies that save using automation.

Jason5499 5499 Yes Yes he did however Amazon is the leader automation company in worth, and if Amazon is not worth half of that how can the USA pay pay for that every year?

Train by day!!!

@Gap Rame Mlon Eusk Joe turned on him in one of his recent podcast

I’m 22 and life is great. If you want your life to be better look in the mirror. Only you can change your situation. Hope things are better now since this comment is a year old

I used to play guitar hero at Sears Haha 😂good times

If you live in America you are part of the 1% economically. Welcome out of poverty.

@@CaliMeatWagon that doesn't mean Americans don't struggle. 78% of us live paycheck to paycheck. Let that sink in. I'm sure any American with a little common sense knows that we are well off compared to most of the world; However that doesn't mean that we don't have issues that should be addressed.

Nobody cares work harder

​@@jeremiahk8701 People are lucky to get paid, let alone be able to live off it from paycheck to paycheck. There is a huge difference between 'absolute poverty' and 'relative poverty'.

@@evancampbell7138 I agree with your statement, however I'm just stating that that we shouldn't ignore issues that Andrew brought up in this podcast.

Dont worry you'll throw up no matter who is trying to control your life

I'm a political science grad and he's the only candidate I ever campaigned for and will ever campaign for

action is needed vote for him

With UBI your reliance on government increases drastically, and this is supposed to be a solution?This is a dangerous proposition and people don't realize it because they get "free" money

UBI is a great concept but without requirements like having to work at least 150 hours a month and receiving the $1000 on top of your pay, it will fall under every other welfare system failure. This is just an idea but incentivizing UBI with something like this I think would benefit people more than strengthening their reliance on handouts

@@MercJB This will make companies pay employees the least legal amount that they can because they know that their employees will be getting this added govt. handout.

Ryan that is very true,

1.2 mil on private jets this campaign so far

And then reality sets in.

We don’t want a socialist go trump!

@@mariobuscemi7888 Wtf? He's working and enabling the free market with VAT, the smart logical data driven way, how is he a socialist? And overtime, he'd rather phase out or at least lower income tax and get rid of bureaucratic regulations that drive prices and hold us back. He's definitely a capitalist, even libertarian leaning, so freedom respecting. At least get your facts straight.

@@c.s.70 offering people free money as a campaign slogan is as socialist as you can get

@@c.s.70 instead of socialism, it seems to be a form of wealth distributism, another economic theory that requires seizing from one to give to another. It may not be socialism but I hate wealth distributism in the form of a massive social program all the same.

You've had plenty of time to learn more skills than how to drive a truck. Plenty of time to save and plan for your future. You fucked up and want a bailout. So does everyone else, instead of hunkering down and putting in the work

@NorthernCaliWay Ya see. Truck driver first, save, then learn a new skill. You dont even need $1k a month. Everyone else would just stay in the truck driver job because its easy, and complain later when they're 49 that they need extra money because their only skill has been replaced by a robot (or younger person). More hard working people like you, less people begging for a govt hand out

@@quietlike This is cute and all but how realistic is this?

quietlike do you understand how expensive it is to go to college? if you live in a middle of nowhere town and your parents lose their jobs bc the factories moved to southeast asia? it’s a lot harder than saving up for a few years.

@@ameliaheppe3990 read the response above. College is likely the reason a lot of younger kids are broke. Unnecessary for most debt servitude for almost all.. Thank govt intervention for the unaffordability. Only has gotten less effective and more expensive since govt got its greedy hands on the industry with the inception of the dept of education. Theres a reason why the richest people didnt go to college. There are tons of online courses, trade schools, apprentice programs, workshops available. The people not falling underwater have built side hustles part time. 10 hrs a week is enough to get most started, either side hustling or learning a new skill. Theres 168 hours in a week, 10-20 hours is completely reasonable. How many hours are you SPENDING on entertainment? How much time are you INVESTING in yourself to learn a new skill? Its a mindset. And cost? Online courses range from a few hundred to a few thousand. People have no problem getting 6 figures into debt for a worthless degree, but think its impossible to save a few thousand for a complete course as they go into debt for iphones, tvs, and cars. Priorities How many cups of starbucks, movies passes, dinners, and worthless crap have you spent your money on?

I honestly dont get what the problem is. Dont we want our parents and kids not to worry about funds or where they eat or sleep? America couldve and wouldve been doing this way sooner if people kept the government running instead of money.

@@dm3402 The problem is that society is so ingrained in the idea that one must work to provide themselves with a living. This is not a bad thing per se as it promotes productivity and therefore survival. It's something so ingrained in humanity that it will take a long time to get them to change their mindset. There is also the slippery slope idea that society will become lazy like in Wall E.

@@CaliMeatWagon Yea but now take all the jobs that robots and computers have replaced and compare to the number of new jobs created. Turn majority of retailers and drivers into coders and robot technicians? For now we have other fields, but down the road?

@@CaliMeatWagon ? All the manufacturing jobs in Wisconsin, Ohio, ect. They all got outsourced BECAUSE of automation. "Im gonna say something snappy so I sound smart even though everything I say is objectively wrong."

@@blitzwaffeThat is a terrible comparison. People who are driving trucks aren't going to be getting into software dev. A much more likely transition would be to work on self driving cars, which by the way isn't happening between now and 2020, nor during the time Yang could theoretically be driving. Apples to oranges..

David Page it’s not humanity when it is compulsory.

Thomas Gant where do I sign up

Exactly, UBI would give you the power (and resources) to start your business. If hundreds of people follow suit, the industry would be competitive and keep prices lower.

yes, that is the idea of UBI. it is universal.

Wrong. It will be an income cap. I'd say around $25k single and $35k married couple. It's basically for those who don't pay tax saying they can pay buy buying more. Of course they will also remove the tax credits so they don't work and make $5k a year and get a $10k refund.

Retake history please

@Jamie Kinthaert Everyone knows San Fran is expensive. Either you are trying to make a joke, which is over done and not funny, or you just have the wrong info. There are studio apartments or even 1 bedrooms for about $3000 and under.

😂

One of those robots will take at least 3 or 4 jobs since they never stop with only a handful of maintenance and software workers for every few dozen machines in contrast.

You'll vote yang? So your for killing babies?

@Imaru Lewis Yang is for killing babies. Having an aborition is killing a baby with a heartbeat, hands and feet, fingernails and a unique genetic makeup. you do understand that just because a baby is in the womb doesnt change the fact that it is a bay right?

@@Grindor225 is there really proof that babies are dying in those wars? For the record im conservitive but I'm completly anti war.

I'm a fiscal conservative and social Democrat. I want my guns, I'm for abortion, and cut back on welfare

Register Democrat so you can vote in the primaries plz

Unfortunately, the kind of $ he's talking about ($1000 per month per person) is much LESS than many welfare programs provide. It wouldn't begin to replace ALL of those programs he talks about eliminating. Hundreds of special insterest groups would demand, and get, both.

Same.

He started the Forward Party

Angel Chavez - Wormeaful It cant be any worse then what’s in place now, this system is set up for the rich to get richer and if you’re not a “winner” or lose your job in this economy you might as well off yourself. You can’t solve new problems with old solutions, our system and government is WAY behind technology and automation and Yang understands that. Yangs proposal is a lot better then what we have now which is nothing at all but greedy politics and corporations that care nothing less about the everyday struggles of the people and the economy.

@@Demiurge66 I understand ur point but wouldn't it better to right the wrongs, bring back offshored jobs and make people productive and prosperous? Sounds like a long shot. But so does UBI. AI doesn't make sense unless they are phasing out humans and AI will serve itself! Sounds like Skynet!

@@mikeporro3311 No, because the nature of capitalism is to ensure the bottom line is robust at all costs, and that's not bringing back off-shore jobs. The future is here and it won't be denied.

@@Khymeira The future is Communism? U have no idea what u are asking for....or do u?

​@@mikeporro3311 You don't get it. This is the late stage of capitalism. Capitalists aren't bringing back off-shore jobs when robots will eventually do them better, sorry. Time to wake up.

so much better than pander with Sanders

It’s not a thing of opinion, research indicates crime is not linked with poverty, but it is linked with relative poverty (which is different in a substancial way)

@@gabriell7640 Do you not understand what ''relative'' means? This has to be the dumbest comment I've read in months.

@@dotexe4981 " I think most crimes are commited because of poverty and desperation." Has got to be one of the dumbest things I've read in months. There is no empirical research that shows that this assertion is true. There are many poor/impoverished areas in the US that are not crime ridden.

@@Ryan-nq3qp Go travel around the world and you will understand what I mean.

@@dotexe4981 I have traveled around the world and two, that's not how empirical evidence works. That would be anecdotal evidence. The science is clear, poverty does not mean high crime.

Sadly, the predators don't want us to be happy. Look up population reduction...

I agree, the best way to fix the problem of suicidal people is to just throw money at them.

Yang2020!!

Man up. Stop being a victim. Dumbest comment ever.

@@MikeB-mo1tk you don't simply "man up" to depression, anxiety or suicide. depression and anxiety are mental illnesses, which can lead to suicide.

Not only that but it will give artists, creators, and inventors a way to support themselves while still having time to build things that will eventually benefit the world and create profit later. People can't invest into turning hobbies and passions into tangible businesses right now without fear of becoming homeless, which is something increased minimum wage certainly won't fix.

Yang wants to replace our current democracy with "democracy dollars", $100 from the government per citizen which can be donated to the candidate of their choice / preventing candidates from taking corporate and big money funding. Elon Musk mentioned having a block chain flat direct democracy on Mars though.

Here he talks about overturning Citizens United to end SuperPACS and corporate dark money political campaigns funding www.yang2020.com/policies/overturning-citizens-united/

Mark Schmidt I think Yang is a step in the right direction for sure, but when it comes down to it I think Churchill was right, democracy is a bad system of government, it's just the rest are the worse. Sure it's mob rule, but the way I see it, at this point it's either the people rule or *they* rule. Flawed as we are, at least we have our own interests at heart, which is more than I can say for *them* and their ilk.

@@IndigoXYZ18 agreed

I don't know about the second question. But about your first question, at least with Yang's proposal, is, that you could decide wether you stayed on your current assistance or change to UBI.

As far as the 2nd Q, when it's presented, there will be obligations & guidelines

@Limmamikegamma60 what's so wrong with his freedom dividend plan?

@F You are clearly paid by a large corporation or brainwashed.

@F he does have the answers. Listen to Yang talk for an hour and you will realize. Visit his website and read his policies, you will discover that Yang sees the bigger picture. Yang2020.com/policies

He did today

I mostly watch dP just for Yang at this point, I’m not afraid to admit it!

Limmamikegamma60 Very productive way of speaking. Watch I’ll do it too. Steven Crowder/the Shapiro show/Fox News/ant slightly conservative news outlet, is where all you conservatives belong with your trumps and your ideas I don’t like. Not very effective is it

No, it would just make people more lazy and dependent.
