Honestly his "I voted for Mr. Trump, I'll have to follow you now" vid was so moving! "You don't seem like a politician, you feel like a real person." Like, shit, yeah that's a sad commentary on American government but fuck if it's not true
@@PineappleMan555 Wow, that C. H. Douglas dude sure seems like a genius!!11 :D /sarcasm... It didn't occur to him that those companies that paid profits in full to their workers went _bankrupt_ for a reason.
If you're a conservative libertarian you should check out the 'gun safety' page on his campaign website. It's horrific. Do what you want but anytime a politician mentions the word 'gun' followed by the word 'registry' I immediately tune out.
@@Danbach90 Yeah, I don't exactly love all of the proposals surrounding gun rights. But again, I don't agree with any politician 100%. I think a lot of his ideas are great, some are okay, and some are bad. But that's why we have a Congress to balance the President's policies. More than anything, Yang seems like the kind of person that is open to discuss important issues, rather than scream about Trump and--not naming any names--grope women. (Biden)
Ethan Carroll Biden is actually more willing to work with Republicans than anybody else. Beto as well, the guy actually voted 30% of time with Republicans, no Republican would make it past their first term if they voted 30% of the time with Dems
@@Danbach90 Real talk: why not a gun registry? I have to pay to register my car every year, keep my license updated and that's not to mention what I had to go through to get the license originally. And that's a much-deserved annoyance because cars are expensive and dangerous, and we need to know who they belong to, and that the people using them are educated and trained enough to be safe using them. I fully understand all the reasons one would want to have guns, for fun, for defense, for hunting, and I don't want to see any of that to be limited, but I don't see how a registry would undermine any of those things. And if we have to get licenses to hunt and fish and drive and sell food, why not have one for guns? I want people who own guns to be responsible with them.
Horses lost their jobs to vehicles. They didn't get new jobs and the horse population saw a decline. When humans lose their jobs to automation, most won't get new jobs and many will die. The market can survive and prosper if we let unskilled humans die but we can't let humans die because humans are not docile. Humans will tear down the world on their way out before they learn to code. Populists demagogues will use the opportunity to gain political power and scapegoat the breadwinners of tomorrow. Automation kills more jobs than it creates and it will intensify when the autonomous revolution goes parabolic. UBI buffers the instability while we transition into an autonomous world. They claim unemployment is at record lows and yet the fed halts all rate hikes due to a weak economy. So which is it? Because it sounds like market corrections are coming and it's coming after human labor.
I used to think this channel was just the conservative equivalent to Vox, Vice and other sleek, well-edited left-wing medias, but this video displays tact and rationality the likes of which I wouldn't see there. Well done Lex, great job.
The coolest thing Yang has said was that he was going to high five non-violent drug offenders on their way out of prison after he mass pardons them. Thats some baller shit
A majority of them is affiliated with gangs. If you pardon them be prepared for a huge escalation of gang violence. Legalizing drugs won't solve gang violence, it will accelerate it. Blacks will claim their territory based on gangs. Just as tribes from former nomads act, feed the family, the rest can starve and die.
Yes, base your platform partially on battling the drug epidemic and then brag about pardoning drug dealers and high fiving them. Makes total sense. Honkler...
@@k4yser why would legalizing drugs increase gang violence? Less reason for people to go to the black market, gangs will be involved at an all time low

As an older person who is no longer on Ritalin, I had to rewind this video several times to make sure I had accurately understood the depth of your narrative. Your speed of delivery makes Ben Shapiro look like he's on heroin. Just a bit of constructive criticism. Keep up the good work.
All y'all commenting he won't win the nomination could just....you know...register as a dem and vote for him in the primary. No body thought you could get Trump to win the primary, so why not replicate that success?
@@adlpsfko I mean, if you truly like a candidate does it really matter if you register as a democrat? Shouldnt you just vote for who you think is best?
Yeah, I'm registering as a Democrat just to get Andrew Yang past the Democratic Primary. I'll just change my registration afterwards. Only takes, like 2 minutes online.
I've been registered as a Dem for a couple years now because I wanted to be able to vote in their 2020 primaries. I figured there would be virtually nobody running in the Republican primary since an incumbent potus is up for reelection, so the far more interesting Democratic one would be worth switching registration for. Anything I can do to prevent someone like Kamala Harris becoming president is worth it

@@wileywonka1143 what's hes getting at is companies like internet providers, insurance companies, phone companies and other things we rely on daily have their set prices for accessibility for a large price range. That way they can make sure they keep business flowing, money coming in and all without compromising their revenue.....Now what happens ifnsaid company knows for a fact that you're getting free money every month? They want it, they feel entitled to it because "we give you this thing and we deserve more" so what they do is raise their price to milk the masses of that revenue stream.. Essentially, we know you have it and we want it.
Everyone's commenting on how fast he's talking but haven't considered: a. How long this 17 minute video would have been had he spoken slower b. The fact that UA-cam allows *you* to adjust playback speed yourself if it is indeed too fast for you.
The thing about the play back though is that it distorts the audio which arguably makes it harder to listen. And to make the argument that IF it was longer, people could just increase the video playback to shorten the video time.
Liked your comment because I agreed with (a). There're a lot of instances where I don't watch a 30 - 40 minute video, not because the title & thumbnail don't look interesting, but just because I don't have the time. However, with regards to (b), have you actually tried to slow the playback speed & listen to it? On my end, the audio becomes not just a little "distorted", but it resulted in a bizarre doubling effect that made listening to it more-or-less impossible. Downloading and playing slower through VLC had similar issues.
Me too. I lean more toward Trump, but mainly because of anti-Trump types, not because of Trump himself. I want someone who protects freedom of Opinion and recognises the danger of the power of Big Tech, such as Alphabet (which owns Google & UA-cam).

@@maxamos7 ok so is the idea to wait until the tsunami hits the shore or prepare for it now? If we wait to get out ahead of automation, being that you nor I can predict exactly when the inevitable will happen, it will be too late for millions of people.
@@maxamos7 this isnt taking money from others anymore than a sales tax is, this is a sales tax that actually gives the American people a monthly rebate. Recycling and re-purposing money that already exist in the economy. Automation is suppose to increase productivity and reduce labor cost. Yet people are continuing to work longer hours instead of less for the same stagnant wages that have not increased at the rate of productivity while cost of living increases all around us. The unemployment numbers never count those who left the work force and never returned, those people should be considered unemployed. The dividend is a great idea for helping people make smoother transitions when they get laid off, get hurt on the job, or get pushed out by automation. The majority of the people are low skilled or underskilled workers. Federal retraining programs have like a 15% success rate.
@@maxamos7 unemployment rate isn't the full picture. (the same point Trump made when Obama was President) Another number is "Labor Force Participation Rate" which is an official measurement defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, " the section of working population in the age group of 16-64 in the economy currently employed or seeking employment." This is at 63% and trending down for the past 10 years. Of course as this number goes down, the "unemployment rate" goes down since people just stop looking for work and are no longer counted. Regarding delivery trucks, you are correct that most deliveries needs a person to unload them at the destination. This transportation from Delivery Hub -> Final Destination is referred to as the "Last Mile Delivery" and a known issue. Automating that part is a good ways off. What Yang is referring to is more movement of products from production facility to delivery hub. Production Facility -> Delivery Hub are the job truckers do and what is in danger of automation in the near future. Amazon is already testing self-driving trucks for this part. www.cnbc.com/2019/01/30/amazon-is-hauling-cargo-in-self-driving-trucks-developed-by-embark.html
I first heard about Andrew Yang on the JRE a few months back. Firstly just listen to the way he speaks and his reliance on facts, data and science which form his policies. They are not coming from an ideological standpoint that he has, rather he lets the math shape his policies. He's not a career politician, the same politicians from both the left and the right that have really been letting us down ever since Nixon, you can probably trace the death of the trustworthy and honest politician to the assassination of RFK in 68. Also you have to look at why the mainstream media has been largely ignoring him and belittling him from the very beginning, he's not prepared to sell his soul to the corrupt fake news media outlets, he is willing to side with the average people over them.
Yang is the way to go if you want to retain your freedom, if you want to give the government even more control over you with a government issued job then do so with Burnie Sanders, if you want to be thrust back into the 1980's then go with Biden, if you want to be looked at as a symptom rather than a person than go with Warren, the future leys in Andrew Yang,
@@antwarior Andrew Yang is the best option available right now. Andrew Yang is not particularly my style, but he's the best option right now.

In the economy, the main factor that improves production is technology. Robots and AI will simply take the jobs that require repetitive work hence opening doors for more creative jobs which humans are suited for.

Huixtocihuatl I don’t think most 4.5 million truck drivers have the kind of skill set that will allow them to easily transition to AI or highly skilled work. That’s 4.5 million dead families.
@@ladyshrink22222 That's an important concern, and it's also fearmongering, which is exactly what predatory politicians live on. However the market always finds a solution. Where there is such a _huge_ demand, someone will find a way to fill that demand. And if it's done by the market, it's done _voluntarily_ instead of by force. I mean, you may think Yang is this charming person as much as you like, but in the end, he's going to use _brute force_ in order to re-distribute money to all those families. That will in turn shrivel up the demand, and so he will effectively _hamper_ progress. It's the exact same mechanisms that lead to the humanitarian disaster that is Communism.
kebman who can help but like Yang? I don’t like one other single person or policy in his party. I think we need to know with more certainty what displaced non tech savvy workers will do than “the marketplace always finds a way” respectfully. I was witness to the hollowing out of the middle of the country that sparked the loss of jobs, houses and intact families and ushered in the opiate epidemic. We may never recover. I’m not a truck driver or related to one but had many clients without AI skill set. I’m happy when the U.S. has happy families. Even though I’m a professional person, I am not tech savvy more age related skills. I am sorry to say Yang is not evil or crazy enough to satisfy the Dems in charge. They are still out for blood due to being soundly beaten during the 2016 election. They know many dead and illegals voted for Hillary. They’re not rational enough to pick a likable candidate, that they can’t control, to implement their vendetta against white people who voted for President Trump, even though they are largely responsible. That was Obama’s legacy, killing the Democrat Party. He managed to lose over 1000 seats in 8 years and sowed desperation and against all Democrat/communistic policies.
Really really REALLY interesting video. I'll be 18 by the 2020 election, and even though I'm still just a kid and understand most, but not all things in this video, i'll keep my eye out on Andrew Yang
As far as I'm concerned he's just another cool guy like Obama. Try not to get too infatuated. He will still side with the despicable Democrats on their hateful, authoritarian platforms.
I'll also be 18 by 2020. I plan on voting for Donald Trump but I will keep an eye out for Andrew Yang he does seem a hell of a lot more genuine than miss kamala harris. I'll just have to hope he doesn't get screwed over in the primaries by the dnc the same way Bernie was screwed over in 2016. I want a fair election even if I don't support some of his policies.

Ok, there is a big problem with this.. If people are committing suicide because they are getting left behind in the job race, giving them money does nothing to give them the purpose they are lacking. We already protect these people financially, but we still have these issues. Money that is unearned is spiritually meaningless. You know it, I know it, yang knows it.
That's why Yang wants to increase community involvement with the side economy of social credits. Spiritual unfulfillment is one of the greatest challenges of our generation. It's a complex problem, and is gonna need to be attacked from many different angles.
@@SJNaka101 I like the idea of community, and some kind of way to quantify involvement, but on the other hand not everyone finds meaning in social involvement and this kind of thing adds a layer of bureaucracy that isn't going to end up being good for innovation or society.

I literally agree on ZERO with him but I respect him for not being another virtue signaling dem who plays into identity politics and runs away from actual dialogue. Won’t be getting my vote but he’s honestly the first Dem I feel has my respect since Kennedy
It's no more virtuous to pander by offering other peoples' money for free than it is to pander by signalling virtue. The greatest counterargument to Yang's plan is -- "Why not $1,100?" Because $1,000 is an arbitrary number. It just sounds nice, it's clean, it isn't calculated/optimized via complex economic models to find out the best balance for a UBI. It's simply a big, shocking number that makes you think "Oh shit, I could get that for free AND believe that it's for the good of the unemployed truckers, not just me being bribed for votes by money!" Because even if you can calculate the exact, feasible amount for UBI, it doesn't matter; the other candidates on the left will simply jack it up a notch, or two, or twelve. There's already another democratic politician offering $600 (for political donations) with her proposed policy. They're catching on to "Oh wow, we can get votes by just promising the voters money." If Yang's UBI is ever implemented, all the catastrophic economic consequences aside, do you genuinely believe the next election won't become the battle of "which democratic candidate says they'll give you more money?" Which one is BOLD enough to ratched it up to $1,400, $1,500? Who's going to be the big name -- Harris? Yang again? -- who comes in and says, "Actually, those are child's numbers. We're going to *stick it to those rich old white men* by increasing UBI to $2,000!" It buys your vote and sells you a false sense of virtue. There is no economic thought behind this. It's just as Benjamin Franklin said: "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." All it is is a slippery slope of "rich people exist, vote for me and I''ll redistribute their wealth to you, economic consequences be damned!" It'll be ruinous on the American economy -- but even if it weren't, even if it somehow stabilized, all it'd have achieved is making every citizen completely dependent on the government. Enshackling us.

@@GSPV33 1,000 a month isn't an arbitrary number. It's to place people near or above the federal poverty. It's going to lead to, hopefully, a complete overhaul of the AWFUL welfare system in the U.S. as well. There is no reason anyone living in the U.S. should be below the federal poverty line, and the Freedom Dividend will solve that. It can only help the economy, but it will take decades to get used to. We don't like change, especially when it comes to fiscal value, but it will abolish a "living wage" and skyrocket local economies. And Yang's position isn't an opinion; it's proven fact. Alaska has a UBI. Almost ever other advanced economy in the world has a value added tax. It's the way to go. I won't blindly follow Yang just because he's gonna give me a check that I can blow on bullshit. I will follow him, at least right now, because he knows what the hell he's talking about, as well as his contributors and political advocates. There's no conspiracy to give poor people money and all the dumb myths about dismantling rich people. We can still vote. You can still vote. I can still vote. We will always be able to vote as long we can vote against anything that will take that right away from us.
This all stems from the fact that innovation in non-computer related subjects (anything to do with atoms) is on the decline. If there were more rocket companies, for example, there would be more jobs in physical labor. Physical labor works well when there is not a well-defined process for creating a thing. The real problem is that innovation in atoms is regulated to hell. If innovation in bits stops, like it's doing right now, then we will need massive re-training programs to transition people to program computers. A lot of people won't be physically capable of doing that, so there WILL need to be some sort of UBI or safety net. The ONLY solution is to stop regulation in bits like allowing nuclear power plants to be built, relaxing safety standards, and disincentivize labor from moving to China.
I think another important policy of Yang's that people should know is that he plans on decriminalizing ALL drugs. And the data suggests that this will drastically reduce overdoses, improve the lives of minorities and those living in poverty, and it may even help decrease the drug usage rate. He is the only candidate running on this policy, and it doesn't make sense that anyone would disagree with it after they've seen the data.
If yang drops some of the more crazy policies hes definitely a great canadite. Even if you still dont like him for whatever reason you have to admit that hes a bit better than the rest of the Democrat trash.
He won't win in 2020. This I can say with near certainty. He's intelligent enough and aware of the issues facing Americans that he has attracted some positive attention from libertarians and conservatives, but he is running as a Democrat, which means he has to embrace a bunch of crazy positions as well, even if he doesn't necessarily believe in them. Even if he doesn't personally buy the intersectional nonsense, he still has to bow at the social justice altar to some extent, or the establishment media will eviscerate him. Because of this, he's sort of in an impossible position, because endorsing crazy policies and embracing social justice garbage is the only way he can survive the Democratic primaries, but it's simultaneously going to repel most of the potential conservative/libertarian support he could hope to accrue. In the end, I just don't think he's intersectional enough for the establishment Left. If he gets close, they'll likely screw him over the way they did Bernie. Which is sad. I don't agree with everything he says, but he clearly understands the issues that are really plaguing younger Americans, which is more than I can say for pretty much any other Democrat. As for him winning in 2024, who knows. The Democrats are likely going to crash and burn in 2020, so by 2024 they could have reformed and become a party someone like Yang could actually run in again. Or if they still aren't, he could maybe run as a more moderate Republican.
Automation shouldn't be a bad thing. When less work is required to sustain society, that should mean that everyone gets to have more leisure time. Instead, it means that more people will not have jobs and therefore will have a harder time surviving. I wish we could create a system in which progress is always a positive force and automation is always something worth celebrating.
Yang has definitely gained my respect. Any Democrat that is confident enough in his policy to do an hour-long interview with Ben Shapiro deserves some recognition. I know that in this space, some of his ideas surrounding social improvement and weapon control may get some pushback. But on the whole, I see his ideas as being well thought out and operating in the best interest of the majority of Americans. [Frankly, I’m just refreshed to see a politician who makes me go.... “Damn, this guy is pretty smart”]
I don’t see him as smart. He is taking a extremely complex problem and decided to throw money at it?! Does he think the economy won’t react?! Eh but hey the first month of money will be cool I guess. Next month things will start falling apart.
I don't know how people can't seem to see past this ubi thing. He said that white people will be the next boogeyman, and hes worried we will start attacking Chinese churches
I've been on the tube for years, this is my first sub. For those that think you speak too fast, they just 'hear' too slow. Very informative, very quick and straight to the point. Great channel, I'm off to check out some other material. Yang is by far the greatest candidate we've had run for President. He understands more about what's actually happening across the entire nation and has very clear thought out solutions to directly address the issues we face as a NATION, not as a party.

Chris Parrish immigrants aren’t “invaders”, like Fox News would have to believe. Although there is an immigration problem, calling them invaders just allows us to de humanize them.
I am still not convinced that UBI is a good thing. All the advocates are pointing to the current plight of lower middle class, while ignoring the fact that there is a blue-collar labor shortage in the US right now. It seems to me that they are trying to solve today's problem with tomorrow's solution by projection today's problems on unknown future.
I think the worst thing you can do to a group of people who lack meaning and purpose is to throw money at them for merely existing. And that's assuming UBI is something we could actually afford.
The Obesity crisis, opioid epidemic and some of the suicide issues can all be fixed if the Average American had a better relationship with food and did some weight training. Even car accidents can be fixed by having people just be a bit more disciplined. Like knowing when you're too drink to drive, not drinking to the point of drunkenness, not driving while tired. Those three almost completely eliminate car accidents, which will result in cheaper insurance premiums. Reducing obesity will address almost all issues within the healthcare industry and insurance as well. People maintaining their fitness and not putting on weight in age will result in less injuries meaning less people taking painkillers, meaning less opioid addictions. Plus physical health results in less suicide for multiple reasons. The US has a self-discipline issue more than anything else.
I am so grateful for your analysis. Right leaning, but without blinders, and with honesty, most of all without handwaving or useless insulting of either side. Thank you.

@@jakexd5524 Where? Just read the results of the test in Finland, and they weren't exactly stellar. Made folks happy, free money will do that. But zero increase in education or employment, which from what I understand, is the goal.
OldManWinter actually, with college is Finland being free and all, they’re very well educated. Happiness in Finland has more to do with “free money”, with maternity leave and unemployment insurance, its leaving people a lot less stressed. Finland is doing really amazing. You really have to understand how hard it can be to get out of poverty. Sure, some people will abuse the welfare system, that is to be expected. But it helps so many people it’s worth it.
OldManWinter no you give them time to create more mayhem. What does the ruling class do with all their time. Perverted things. Idle hands are the devils workshop. And nobody is going to go for UBI, it’s never going to happen. When will you guys learn you’re not entitled to anything but life, liberty and happiness? That didn’t involve a handout that will only increase prices and you’ll be right back where you were before UBI. Plus do NOT give up your right to bear arms. Every single country who does that ends up eventually being fired upon by the government. Venezuela? Cuba? Hong Kong? Nope my gun over my dead body.
My problem with UBI is twofold: 1) UBI won't stay at $1000/month. Like all government programs, it will grow, and become another aspect of the welfare state. It is still redistributionism after all. 2) Politicians won't end the welfare state. No one wants to be the guy taking away entitlements from voters, so UBI will just become a supplement. I hope I'm proven wrong, but it seems like a slippery slope to more socialism and more dependence on government programs.
The payout isn't even the problem. The real problem will start when prices adjust to the payout. Yang can talk all he wants about how it's not dangerous, but this is the law of any and all regulation. Price _always_ adjusts to the regulation, UBI or otherwise. Get ready! If he gets elected, I sure hope you have ample supplies of non-perishable food and water.
reminder that yang actively disavowed the people who made him popular and supported him. there's a reason enthusiasm for him died on 4chan. he called them racists and nazis.
Guarantee anyone bashing Yang has not once looked into his 80+ policy proposals posted onto his website, something no other candidate has done. Yang is by far the most solution oriented candidate we have right now. Don't worry, his uprising has not even begun.
Here's a truth people don't know: autonomous vehicles are already looking like a failure. Experts know that unless every single person is forced to replace their cars with a new expensive autonomous vehicle, they will not make our streets safer. I also work with lawyers and know that their jobs aren't going anywhere. No computer program can deal with these sorts of things. And the idea that $1000/mo UBI would prevent anyone from depression is meaningless. We as a country have a choice about whether or not we give our jobs up to the machine. Conservatives simply need to keep pushing traditionalism- not wealth distribution- to fix the issues of families falling apart, etc. Yang only appeals to those who fear the technological future, not those who understand the likely reality for the next several generations.
lol I suggest you watch teslas automony day or googles new AI customer service vids. 94% of new jobs created are gig work, freelancing and independent contractor jobs (ie driving for uber) realize that for a sec.
Who in their right mind would vote for the Democrats after the bullshit they've been pulling? Seriously. That party just put the United States through an expensive, pointless investigation of a sitting president that was not only embarrassing to the entire world, but domestically polarizing and destructive to the nation's fabric. In doing so, they apprehended President Trump's ability to do his job, because they couldn't accept that the election didn't go their way. They tried to use the machinery of government to unseat a duly elected candidate, and that, my friends is treasonous. As I write this, the Democrats actively work against the enforcement of American immigration law, they ridicule federal enforcement agencies doing their sworn duties, openly dismiss the constitutional rights of legal gun owners, threaten and lie to the faces of their constituents, hysterically besmirch the integrity of judicial appointees, and put the interests of invading foreign nationals ahead of American citizens and legal immigrants. If anything I find the Democratic party to be a danger to the American people. Fuck 'em. Fuck every last goddamn one of them, including Yang.
I just want them to reduce the amount of immigrants that are drastically lowering our wages. A lot of IT companies get visa holders to work for half of what that job would normally pay. Then once the industry has to pay the workers what they are worth I want to be able to keep what I earn instead of having it stolen from me in taxes.
What else would you call millions of migrants flooding in taking all the lower paying jobs from citizens? Only rebuttal leftists have for this is that white people aren't willing to do manual labor even though all of Europe has been destroyed multiple times and built through manual labor by Europeans or the fact Europeans have worked in mines and still work in mines doing 8 hour shifts every day in order to survive as we speak.
@@AashishProductions I'm not sure if you're for real or just being sarcastic but it's not a question of doing better, just doing the sane for cheaper. The problem still isn't solved, you might have solved one unemployment but it's still a case of the market price of labour being driven down. If it was a legal immigrant he could say "fuck that I know what I am worth" and go somewhere else. H1B visas can't complain or they get their visa revoked.
Awesome! Can't wait to see American go bankrupt!!! (Sorry friends, I don't really mean that. I was being really, _really_ sarcastic, because while Yang sure knows math, he knows _nothing_ about economy.)

As a conservative libertarian I don't agree with all of Yang's policy proposals, but he could be the first Democrat I ever vote for.
If you're a conservative libertarian you should check out the 'gun safety' page on his campaign website. It's horrific. Do what you want but anytime a politician mentions the word 'gun' followed by the word 'registry' I immediately tune out.
@@Danbach90 Yeah, I don't exactly love all of the proposals surrounding gun rights. But again, I don't agree with any politician 100%. I think a lot of his ideas are great, some are okay, and some are bad. But that's why we have a Congress to balance the President's policies. More than anything, Yang seems like the kind of person that is open to discuss important issues, rather than scream about Trump and--not naming any names--grope women. (Biden)
@@iamethancarroll agreed
Ethan Carroll Biden is actually more willing to work with Republicans than anybody else. Beto as well, the guy actually voted 30% of time with Republicans, no Republican would make it past their first term if they voted 30% of the time with Dems
@@Danbach90 Real talk: why not a gun registry? I have to pay to register my car every year, keep my license updated and that's not to mention what I had to go through to get the license originally. And that's a much-deserved annoyance because cars are expensive and dangerous, and we need to know who they belong to, and that the people using them are educated and trained enough to be safe using them.
I fully understand all the reasons one would want to have guns, for fun, for defense, for hunting, and I don't want to see any of that to be limited, but I don't see how a registry would undermine any of those things. And if we have to get licenses to hunt and fish and drive and sell food, why not have one for guns? I want people who own guns to be responsible with them.
this episode of the twilight zone was great. thanks rod serling!
Haha I literally thought the same thing
You still troll styx?
I need to be re-injected into the matrix.
Dude! I was just saying that
Horses lost their jobs to vehicles. They didn't get new jobs and the horse population saw a decline. When humans lose their jobs to automation, most won't get new jobs and many will die.
The market can survive and prosper if we let unskilled humans die but we can't let humans die because humans are not docile. Humans will tear down the world on their way out before they learn to code. Populists demagogues will use the opportunity to gain political power and scapegoat the breadwinners of tomorrow.
Automation kills more jobs than it creates and it will intensify when the autonomous revolution goes parabolic. UBI buffers the instability while we transition into an autonomous world.
They claim unemployment is at record lows and yet the fed halts all rate hikes due to a weak economy. So which is it? Because it sounds like market corrections are coming and it's coming after human labor.

The coolest thing Yang has said was that he was going to high five non-violent drug offenders on their way out of prison after he mass pardons them. Thats some baller shit
On April 20, 20201
A majority of them is affiliated with gangs. If you pardon them be prepared for a huge escalation of gang violence. Legalizing drugs won't solve gang violence, it will accelerate it. Blacks will claim their territory based on gangs. Just as tribes from former nomads act, feed the family, the rest can starve and die.
Yes, base your platform partially on battling the drug epidemic and then brag about pardoning drug dealers and high fiving them. Makes total sense. Honkler...

Hey man I love the informative, measured, and thorough approach, but can you work on your pacing a little? As an older person who is no longer on Ritalin, I had to rewind this video several times to make sure I had accurately understood the depth of your narrative. Your speed of delivery makes Ben Shapiro look like he's on heroin. Just a bit of constructive criticism. Keep up the good work.
Completely agree.
I agree with you. But I might suggest selecting playback speed at 0.75x, it may help.
@@llluminus That would be an admission of my own deficiency. Everyone must change what they do to suit me. Didn't you get the memo ? ;)
change the playback speed. improvise, adapt, overcome
You slow it down to 3/4 speed and Yang sounds drunk. It would be easier for everyone if dude just slowed down.
All y'all commenting he won't win the nomination could just....you know...register as a dem and vote for him in the primary.
No body thought you could get Trump to win the primary, so why not replicate that success?
fat chance bro the only time i'll register as a democrat is after i die
@@adlpsfko I mean, if you truly like a candidate does it really matter if you register as a democrat? Shouldnt you just vote for who you think is best?
@@youngcitybandit the joke is that democrats continually register people who have died as voters
Yeah, I'm registering as a Democrat just to get Andrew Yang past the Democratic Primary. I'll just change my registration afterwards. Only takes, like 2 minutes online.
I've been registered as a Dem for a couple years now because I wanted to be able to vote in their 2020 primaries. I figured there would be virtually nobody running in the Republican primary since an incumbent potus is up for reelection, so the far more interesting Democratic one would be worth switching registration for. Anything I can do to prevent someone like Kamala Harris becoming president is worth it
If it weren't for your video I wouldn't have known about Yang or his policies, and now I'm fully on board with the Yang Gang now. Thank you.

Essentially, we know you have it and we want it.
Thank you for your work. I was completely unaware of this side of Yang.
Everyone's commenting on how fast he's talking but haven't considered:
a. How long this 17 minute video would have been had he spoken slower
b. The fact that UA-cam allows *you* to adjust playback speed yourself if it is indeed too fast for you.
The thing about the play back though is that it distorts the audio which arguably makes it harder to listen. And to make the argument that IF it was longer, people could just increase the video playback to shorten the video time.
Liked your comment because I agreed with (a). There're a lot of instances where I don't watch a 30 - 40 minute video, not because the title & thumbnail don't look interesting, but just because I don't have the time. However, with regards to (b), have you actually tried to slow the playback speed & listen to it? On my end, the audio becomes not just a little "distorted", but it resulted in a bizarre doubling effect that made listening to it more-or-less impossible. Downloading and playing slower through VLC had similar issues.
Most people on UA-cam talk too slow. Finally a video that I don't have to speed up!
c. He could just fucking talk slower. It's ridiculously fast. He was on some stimulants in this video, clearly.
Progressive for Yang and I love that he's uniting the parties. 😎
He’s the only candidate that’s addressed the wider white communities problems...but the yang gang meme is dead
Me too. I lean more toward Trump, but mainly because of anti-Trump types, not because of Trump himself. I want someone who protects freedom of Opinion and recognises the danger of the power of Big Tech, such as Alphabet (which owns Google & UA-cam).

@@maxamos7 this isnt taking money from others anymore than a sales tax is, this is a sales tax that actually gives the American people a monthly rebate. Recycling and re-purposing money that already exist in the economy. Automation is suppose to increase productivity and reduce labor cost. Yet people are continuing to work longer hours instead of less for the same stagnant wages that have not increased at the rate of productivity while cost of living increases all around us. The unemployment numbers never count those who left the work force and never returned, those people should be considered unemployed. The dividend is a great idea for helping people make smoother transitions when they get laid off, get hurt on the job, or get pushed out by automation. The majority of the people are low skilled or underskilled workers. Federal retraining programs have like a 15% success rate.
@@maxamos7 unemployment rate isn't the full picture. (the same point Trump made when Obama was President) Another number is "Labor Force Participation Rate" which is an official measurement defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, " the section of working population in the age group of 16-64 in the economy currently employed or seeking employment." This is at 63% and trending down for the past 10 years. Of course as this number goes down, the "unemployment rate" goes down since people just stop looking for work and are no longer counted.
Regarding delivery trucks, you are correct that most deliveries needs a person to unload them at the destination. This transportation from Delivery Hub -> Final Destination is referred to as the "Last Mile Delivery" and a known issue. Automating that part is a good ways off. What Yang is referring to is more movement of products from production facility to delivery hub. Production Facility -> Delivery Hub are the job truckers do and what is in danger of automation in the near future.

I first heard about Andrew Yang on the JRE a few months back. Firstly just listen to the way he speaks and his reliance on facts, data and science which form his policies. They are not coming from an ideological standpoint that he has, rather he lets the math shape his policies. He's not a career politician, the same politicians from both the left and the right that have really been letting us down ever since Nixon, you can probably trace the death of the trustworthy and honest politician to the assassination of RFK in 68. Also you have to look at why the mainstream media has been largely ignoring him and belittling him from the very beginning, he's not prepared to sell his soul to the corrupt fake news media outlets, he is willing to side with the average people over them.
Yang is the way to go if you want to retain your freedom, if you want to give the government even more control over you with a government issued job then do so with Burnie Sanders, if you want to be thrust back into the 1980's then go with Biden, if you want to be looked at as a symptom rather than a person than go with Warren, the future leys in Andrew Yang,

@@ladyshrink22222 That's an important concern, and it's also fearmongering, which is exactly what predatory politicians live on. However the market always finds a solution. Where there is such a _huge_ demand, someone will find a way to fill that demand. And if it's done by the market, it's done _voluntarily_ instead of by force. I mean, you may think Yang is this charming person as much as you like, but in the end, he's going to use _brute force_ in order to re-distribute money to all those families. That will in turn shrivel up the demand, and so he will effectively _hamper_ progress. It's the exact same mechanisms that lead to the humanitarian disaster that is Communism.

14:20 But the problem with that is that we can't expect the government (especially the progressive part of it) to keep that bargain. You're essentially offering a shark the ability to eat one of your arms as ling as it lets the rest of you go.
Lol am I the only person who likes how fast he talks?
I literally agree on ZERO with him but I respect him for not being another virtue signaling dem who plays into identity politics and runs away from actual dialogue. Won’t be getting my vote but he’s honestly the first Dem I feel has my respect since Kennedy
It's no more virtuous to pander by offering other peoples' money for free than it is to pander by signalling virtue. The greatest counterargument to Yang's plan is -- "Why not $1,100?"
Because $1,000 is an arbitrary number. It just sounds nice, it's clean, it isn't calculated/optimized via complex economic models to find out the best balance for a UBI. It's simply a big, shocking number that makes you think "Oh shit, I could get that for free AND believe that it's for the good of the unemployed truckers, not just me being bribed for votes by money!"
Because even if you can calculate the exact, feasible amount for UBI, it doesn't matter; the other candidates on the left will simply jack it up a notch, or two, or twelve. There's already another democratic politician offering $600 (for political donations) with her proposed policy. They're catching on to "Oh wow, we can get votes by just promising the voters money." If Yang's UBI is ever implemented, all the catastrophic economic consequences aside, do you genuinely believe the next election won't become the battle of "which democratic candidate says they'll give you more money?" Which one is BOLD enough to ratched it up to $1,400, $1,500? Who's going to be the big name -- Harris? Yang again? -- who comes in and says, "Actually, those are child's numbers. We're going to *stick it to those rich old white men* by increasing UBI to $2,000!" It buys your vote and sells you a false sense of virtue.
There is no economic thought behind this. It's just as Benjamin Franklin said: "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." All it is is a slippery slope of "rich people exist, vote for me and I''ll redistribute their wealth to you, economic consequences be damned!" It'll be ruinous on the American economy -- but even if it weren't, even if it somehow stabilized, all it'd have achieved is making every citizen completely dependent on the government. Enshackling us.
You must be ok with Amazon paying zero tax because the current politicians are ok with it. You must be ok when we gave big banks 4 trillions to save them. Why NOT us!!??? The freaking tax payers!!???
@@akira28shima32 let's buy Bernie another vacation home while we're at it.
@@GSPV33 fucking nailed it dude
@@GSPV33 1,000 a month isn't an arbitrary number. It's to place people near or above the federal poverty. It's going to lead to, hopefully, a complete overhaul of the AWFUL welfare system in the U.S. as well.
There is no reason anyone living in the U.S. should be below the federal poverty line, and the Freedom Dividend will solve that. It can only help the economy, but it will take decades to get used to.
We don't like change, especially when it comes to fiscal value, but it will abolish a "living wage" and skyrocket local economies. And Yang's position isn't an opinion; it's proven fact. Alaska has a UBI. Almost ever other advanced economy in the world has a value added tax. It's the way to go.
I won't blindly follow Yang just because he's gonna give me a check that I can blow on bullshit. I will follow him, at least right now, because he knows what the hell he's talking about, as well as his contributors and political advocates.
There's no conspiracy to give poor people money and all the dumb myths about dismantling rich people. We can still vote. You can still vote. I can still vote. We will always be able to vote as long we can vote against anything that will take that right away from us.
This all stems from the fact that innovation in non-computer related subjects (anything to do with atoms) is on the decline. If there were more rocket companies, for example, there would be more jobs in physical labor. Physical labor works well when there is not a well-defined process for creating a thing. The real problem is that innovation in atoms is regulated to hell.
If innovation in bits stops, like it's doing right now, then we will need massive re-training programs to transition people to program computers. A lot of people won't be physically capable of doing that, so there WILL need to be some sort of UBI or safety net.
The ONLY solution is to stop regulation in bits like allowing nuclear power plants to be built, relaxing safety standards, and disincentivize labor from moving to China.
@Daniel Kintigh 3 out of 4 false statements. Impressive.
While I really disagree with Yang's "solutions", he can at least see the problems that America is facing.
I usually play videos on 1.5x to speed up the videos but damn your fast on 1x. Lol
I think another important policy of Yang's that people should know is that he plans on decriminalizing ALL drugs. And the data suggests that this will drastically reduce overdoses, improve the lives of minorities and those living in poverty, and it may even help decrease the drug usage rate. He is the only candidate running on this policy, and it doesn't make sense that anyone would disagree with it after they've seen the data.
The solution is universal ‘college’ forever... you never leave school and are required to continue.
Too be honest, I'd love to stay in school just without the exams haha
If yang drops some of the more crazy policies hes definitely a great canadite. Even if you still dont like him for whatever reason you have to admit that hes a bit better than the rest of the Democrat trash.
He isn't gonna make it bro the dems won't let him
@@hugsavage5286 yeah I know, hes way too passive. He will get curve stomped in that jungle
Myke Thuney. "If" I had 999,999,000 dollars I would be a billionaire. "If"?
@@gbuz5789 ? Maybe I'm just retarded but I have no idea what you're saying.
He won't win in 2020. This I can say with near certainty. He's intelligent enough and aware of the issues facing Americans that he has attracted some positive attention from libertarians and conservatives, but he is running as a Democrat, which means he has to embrace a bunch of crazy positions as well, even if he doesn't necessarily believe in them. Even if he doesn't personally buy the intersectional nonsense, he still has to bow at the social justice altar to some extent, or the establishment media will eviscerate him. Because of this, he's sort of in an impossible position, because endorsing crazy policies and embracing social justice garbage is the only way he can survive the Democratic primaries, but it's simultaneously going to repel most of the potential conservative/libertarian support he could hope to accrue. In the end, I just don't think he's intersectional enough for the establishment Left. If he gets close, they'll likely screw him over the way they did Bernie.
Which is sad. I don't agree with everything he says, but he clearly understands the issues that are really plaguing younger Americans, which is more than I can say for pretty much any other Democrat.
As for him winning in 2024, who knows. The Democrats are likely going to crash and burn in 2020, so by 2024 they could have reformed and become a party someone like Yang could actually run in again. Or if they still aren't, he could maybe run as a more moderate Republican.
Automation shouldn't be a bad thing. When less work is required to sustain society, that should mean that everyone gets to have more leisure time. Instead, it means that more people will not have jobs and therefore will have a harder time surviving. I wish we could create a system in which progress is always a positive force and automation is always something worth celebrating.

Every video you guys make is a masterpiece. Thank you.
Man, I wish I would have seen this sooner, great aesthetic.
Yang has definitely gained my respect.
Any Democrat that is confident enough in his policy to do an hour-long interview with Ben Shapiro deserves some recognition.
I know that in this space, some of his ideas surrounding social improvement and weapon control may get some pushback. But on the whole, I see his ideas as being well thought out and operating in the best interest of the majority of Americans.
[Frankly, I’m just refreshed to see a politician who makes me go.... “Damn, this guy is pretty smart”]
I don’t see him as smart. He is taking a extremely complex problem and decided to throw money at it?! Does he think the economy won’t react?! Eh but hey the first month of money will be cool I guess. Next month things will start falling apart.
I don't know how people can't seem to see past this ubi thing.
He said that white people will be the next boogeyman, and hes worried we will start attacking Chinese churches
Well, my mind has changed about a lot of this

Great channel, I'm off to check out some other material. Yang is by far the greatest candidate we've had run for President. He understands more about what's actually happening across the entire nation and has very clear thought out solutions to directly address the issues we face as a NATION, not as a party.

I am still not convinced that UBI is a good thing. All the advocates are pointing to the current plight of lower middle class, while ignoring the fact that there is a blue-collar labor shortage in the US right now. It seems to me that they are trying to solve today's problem with tomorrow's solution by projection today's problems on unknown future.
I think the worst thing you can do to a group of people who lack meaning and purpose is to throw money at them for merely existing. And that's assuming UBI is something we could actually afford.
Blue collar labor shortage?

Do you understand how close we are to artificial general intelligence?
The Obesity crisis, opioid epidemic and some of the suicide issues can all be fixed if the Average American had a better relationship with food and did some weight training.
Even car accidents can be fixed by having people just be a bit more disciplined. Like knowing when you're too drink to drive, not drinking to the point of drunkenness, not driving while tired. Those three almost completely eliminate car accidents, which will result in cheaper insurance premiums.
Reducing obesity will address almost all issues within the healthcare industry and insurance as well.
People maintaining their fitness and not putting on weight in age will result in less injuries meaning less people taking painkillers, meaning less opioid addictions.
Plus physical health results in less suicide for multiple reasons. The US has a self-discipline issue more than anything else.
I want to see this guy on the debate table.
I am so grateful for your analysis. Right leaning, but without blinders, and with honesty, most of all without handwaving or useless insulting of either side.
Thank you.

Bro! This video is beautiful! Great Work!
Great video! Very refreshing to see people like Yang in politics nowadays.
Yeah, man. Imagine being alive when Lenin was around! Or Pol Pot!
When you give people free money they have time to create art and educate themselves! Welfare has proven the exact opposite.
No but this is universal welfare!
OldManWinter yet it has been proven to be very successful in countries other than America.
@@jakexd5524 Where? Just read the results of the test in Finland, and they weren't exactly stellar. Made folks happy, free money will do that. But zero increase in education or employment, which from what I understand, is the goal.
OldManWinter actually, with college is Finland being free and all, they’re very well educated. Happiness in Finland has more to do with “free money”, with maternity leave and unemployment insurance, its leaving people a lot less stressed. Finland is doing really amazing. You really have to understand how hard it can be to get out of poverty. Sure, some people will abuse the welfare system, that is to be expected. But it helps so many people it’s worth it.
OldManWinter no you give them time to create more mayhem. What does the ruling class do with all their time. Perverted things. Idle hands are the devils workshop. And nobody is going to go for UBI, it’s never going to happen. When will you guys learn you’re not entitled to anything but life, liberty and happiness? That didn’t involve a handout that will only increase prices and you’ll be right back where you were before UBI. Plus do NOT give up your right to bear arms. Every single country who does that ends up eventually being fired upon by the government. Venezuela? Cuba? Hong Kong? Nope my gun over my dead body.
Overall, maybe one of the best videos y’all have put out. Keep it real guys

Why would you ever do that? This video is so long it should really be on 1.25 at least
on a serious note i've been turned away from watching these videos just because of how fast he talks. its really hard on the head.
He needs to slow down
Everybody will be making UA-cam videos. Making a dollar a day, if they're lucky.
Exactly
My problem with UBI is twofold:
1) UBI won't stay at $1000/month. Like all government programs, it will grow, and become another aspect of the welfare state. It is still redistributionism after all.
2) Politicians won't end the welfare state. No one wants to be the guy taking away entitlements from voters, so UBI will just become a supplement.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but it seems like a slippery slope to more socialism and more dependence on government programs.
The payout isn't even the problem. The real problem will start when prices adjust to the payout. Yang can talk all he wants about how it's not dangerous, but this is the law of any and all regulation. Price _always_ adjusts to the regulation, UBI or otherwise. Get ready! If he gets elected, I sure hope you have ample supplies of non-perishable food and water.
reminder that yang actively disavowed the people who made him popular and supported him. there's a reason enthusiasm for him died on 4chan. he called them racists and nazis.
Secure the bag💰💰💰
Guarantee anyone bashing Yang has not once looked into his 80+ policy proposals posted onto his website, something no other candidate has done. Yang is by far the most solution oriented candidate we have right now. Don't worry, his uprising has not even begun.
aGUY I stopped at anti-gun. One and done.
Here's a truth people don't know: autonomous vehicles are already looking like a failure. Experts know that unless every single person is forced to replace their cars with a new expensive autonomous vehicle, they will not make our streets safer. I also work with lawyers and know that their jobs aren't going anywhere. No computer program can deal with these sorts of things. And the idea that $1000/mo UBI would prevent anyone from depression is meaningless. We as a country have a choice about whether or not we give our jobs up to the machine. Conservatives simply need to keep pushing traditionalism- not wealth distribution- to fix the issues of families falling apart, etc. Yang only appeals to those who fear the technological future, not those who understand the likely reality for the next several generations.

Who in their right mind would vote for the Democrats after the bullshit they've been pulling? Seriously. That party just put the United States through an expensive, pointless investigation of a sitting president that was not only embarrassing to the entire world, but domestically polarizing and destructive to the nation's fabric. In doing so, they apprehended President Trump's ability to do his job, because they couldn't accept that the election didn't go their way. They tried to use the machinery of government to unseat a duly elected candidate, and that, my friends is treasonous. As I write this, the Democrats actively work against the enforcement of American immigration law, they ridicule federal enforcement agencies doing their sworn duties, openly dismiss the constitutional rights of legal gun owners, threaten and lie to the faces of their constituents, hysterically besmirch the integrity of judicial appointees, and put the interests of invading foreign nationals ahead of American citizens and legal immigrants. If anything I find the Democratic party to be a danger to the American people.

I just want them to reduce the amount of immigrants that are drastically lowering our wages. A lot of IT companies get visa holders to work for half of what that job would normally pay. Then once the industry has to pay the workers what they are worth I want to be able to keep what I earn instead of having it stolen from me in taxes.
the immigrants are taking our jobs omg! how about you do better?
What else would you call millions of migrants flooding in taking all the lower paying jobs from citizens? Only rebuttal leftists have for this is that white people aren't willing to do manual labor even though all of Europe has been destroyed multiple times and built through manual labor by Europeans or the fact Europeans have worked in mines and still work in mines doing 8 hour shifts every day in order to survive as we speak.
@@AashishProductions I'm not sure if you're for real or just being sarcastic but it's not a question of doing better, just doing the sane for cheaper. The problem still isn't solved, you might have solved one unemployment but it's still a case of the market price of labour being driven down. If it was a legal immigrant he could say "fuck that I know what I am worth" and go somewhere else. H1B visas can't complain or they get their visa revoked.
