Wait, is this actually two people that disagree with each other having a nice discussion? Nice man
And people say Shapiro only debates college students
A rare spectacle these days
The way it should be. Instead idiots riot and burn their own cities when they have imaginary issues.
Shapiro does a great hob challenging Yang without getting stuck in a heated argument
I don't agree with Yang on his policy decisions, but I respect Yang's willingness to discuss a topic and actually LISTEN to what people have to say. It's something that is widely missing within the democratic party.
(Yang believes in a utopia without firearms, yet he understands the reality of background checks and which guns are used in crimes (predominantly handguns, not rifles) and the fact that Yang doesn't go around spouting a bunch of nonsense about "AR14's" sets him apart from his democratic colleagues.)
I'm still going to side with conservatism, but I can disagree with Yang and still respect him. I can't say that for many politicians on both sides of the isle.
Whether you like Yang or not its nice to see him not afraid to have his beliefs challenged.
Agreed completely
Yang is illogical and discreditble, but what you say is exactly right and well taken. 👍
👆👆
Except the fact that he says he's "confident and committed" to all his ideas. He's pretending to be open minded.
There are not many liberal brave enough to have a pleasant respectful conversation with a conservative. Good job Yang.Imagine if all politician did this.
Respect to Yang. The only democrat with confidence to go on Shapiro's show
He should’ve run for Governor of NY, so the perverted Andrew Cuomo gets put on trial. But it’s time for a young mayor to step in.
The only Democrat worth nominating. Naturally, the Dems failed to nominate him and instead nominated the bumbling gaffe-loaded Biden.
Russel Brant, Sam Harris and Pierce Morgan were on his show as well
Yang. One of the worst politicians ever.
@@bluehawaii1631 He is not even a politician, he is a bussinessman
Wow, I'm VERY impressed by this conversation. Two men, with opposing philosophies & political leanings, having a discussion that is evidence based (albeit a different prioritization of the data)....but they're talking to each other. They're not rallying against each other, calling each other names, getting people to make death threats....they're TALKING and even better, they're willing to LISTEN to each other. Thank you Andrew & Ben - if the rest of us can learn this, there's hope for the USA yet.
Couldn’t agree more!
A conversation requires that both parties have a coherent and defensible idea. Sadly, not many people do. Most are just spewing slogans that they heard somewhere and has no capacity to defend their position. So they resort to shouting, mocking, and name-calling.
Decentralized crypto is a better option than what Yang is proposing.
@@CRAIGC55 Rich people's charity has never pulled a society out of depression.
I really liked Yang until he hell for the George Floyd and systematic racism nonsense and the hysteria of last year
Ben Shapiro: giving Andrew Yang more mic time in one hour than the DNC did the entire campaign
True!
DNC is so corrupt but idk why they don’t like yang. They both want to give lazy people free money without any work.
@@dragonusuralis8287 Yeah, That’s why I’m not a big fan of welfare. We should move past it and be in favor of a market socialist economy, then eventually move to council communism once we reach post scarcity.
@@theparadigm8149 it will never happen.
As long as you have one who disagrees, the cycle goes on
@@subarunatsuki9374 Perhaps... I also think that we need a spiritual revival. We need to go back to culturally conservative values, as well. That way, my economic ideals could work... 🤔 maybe...
This is what it looks like when two people are more interested in solving the problem than being right about the problem.
And still solving nothing.

Ben does a really good job interviewing. He's not playing gotcha journalist even though he and Yang are often diametrically opposed. He lets him get his points out and provides reasonable counter arguments and questions. The same cannot be said about most mainstream interviewers.
Every Yang interview.
Decentralized crypto is a better option than what Yang is proposing.
I'm noticing Yang doesn't campaign very well, but he excels in 1:1 conversations like this. His campaign team need to go back to doing more things like this.
Unfortunately, you're both right
its not his fault the left didnt give him the light of day coverage on the news or deabtes.. he spoke for 3 minutes total in like 3 debates combined . just disgusting.
He's still wrong, but at least hes articulate and wrong
@@msharp6887 How's he wrong?
@@ClientSmash because a universal basic income, which is essentially welfare for all, will incentivize laziness and begin a downward socialist spiral. They tried it in the Netherlands, and in Israel,and it failed because like all socialist countries, there was less incentive to work, which created a shortage of labor, and a massive decrease in productivity. This led to economic stagnation and food shortages
You know what I notice the main difference is between watching this and the mainstream media? You know Ben disagrees with things that he's saying, but he doesn't interrupt him or try and paint him into a corner. He just simply let him speak. And then the mainstream media wonders why people don't trust them lol.
Yea. I was amazed that left and right can talk intellectualy. Usually in the media if right person came in left person show, it wouldn't end without somebody screaming/ being sarcastic/ attacking someone. I don't need to mention who was..
[I'm not from the US but I sometimes follow US politics. I might not have seen many left and right discussing stuffs intellectualy, there might be some or something but I just haven't encountered it].
Your sooo right, old time interviewing. Respectful, informative.
Right? imagine giving someone a platform to actually speak their mind and ideas without interruption
Jimmy Kimmel could learn a lot from watching this interview.
Yes, the guy paints himself in the corner without any help. But I agree with the fact that Ben's a great interviewer.
I liked Yang. Not for his UBI stance, but for the fact he had ideas for issues that no other candidate even bothered to address.
Exactly. Yang gang is gang gang.
I agree. I wanted Yang and when he didn’t even get a shot I did a 180 and voted Red. I was more voting against Biden than for Trump. Even if you don’t like Trump he at very least called attention to the Swamp and things going on in DC that have nothing to do with serving the populace.
you from WV?
This is asinine. “Paying them to do ‘what they want to do’ is ‘creating jobs’.” I want to build model airplanes for my local museum. Pay ME. 🤦♂️
@@soarabove337 bro, you are asinine.
How do you not get it?
You pay them enough so they can afford rent if they do nothing. So services will set themselves up to take care of homeless people, as they now have garaunteed money.
A student can now pay for school full time with a part time job. Without a 12 hr load AND 40+hrs a week.
Also, paying people to do what they want usually begets better work. Rather than paying people to do some menial bullshit they dont like.
Shit that will be replaced by computers at some point anyway.
If you wanna build model airplanes for your local museum, my man...start practicing. Cuz Im gonna bet only 1 of those jobs is available.
Along the way you can sell some online or something.
If you dont wanna put in that effort, itd be easy to cash in your 1000 bucks with the bank for coins. Sort out the rare/valuable ones, resleeve em...and sell em on ebay. Then turn all the normal coins back in, and go to a different bank.
There are lots of ways to make money.
Your point of view is whats asinine here. And it clouds everything else for ya.
I want way, way more content like this from every show I watch: conversations with reasonable, logical left-wing people who look at the facts and arrive at a different conclusion than we do on the right. We should have our ideas challenged. We should NOT allow echo chambers to exist.
When I lost my job to the pandemic, it was difficult for me to end my unemployment benefits after finding a new one. I was making more off the government than I would in my new job. But I did it for the meaning and opportunities it would open. I feel that UBI would have made me feel even more secure in my choice, wary as I am of the large scale application of it
Imagine if you could have kept, even a portion of your unemployment, with your new wage. It would have made life a bit easier. You could still go to work, but not worry about bills as much. It might even allow you to find a job you enjoy rather than just a job to pay bills.
Ya it would make a lot of people feel more secure having no job. Most people aren't at work for the "meaning". UBI would be great in a perfect world, but unfortunately there's such thing as reality
@@silkroad1201 Most people aren't at work for the "meaning" because they can't afford to find a job (or start a trade/business) that gives them "meaning", they have to find a job *now* that pays the bills instead (and retains the insurance!), even if that job drives them to suicide.
I think some people are getting too hung up on UBI as if 1000 a month is gonna pay everyone's bills and people won't work anymore. Not at all. Around here it would pretty much just get you rent covered. UBI should be more than 0 but less than so much people have no need to work to provide income.
@@Zee06 I would propose only those that work can receive UBI, but only to those that make from $X amount to $X amount.
I love this type of dialogue. Two men being gentlemen actively listening and responding without smearing
I wish we all can see more of this type of dialogue from others.
It is a rare thing indeed.
yes they sounds attracted likeable because they sounds sounds to understand y people needed the ubi. i like this so iam listen to it again
Most people don't have information like these 2, they rely on talking points to get their point of view across and fall back on name calling and demonizing when frustrated.
Adults!
I miss adults.
This is why I like Yang, man. He actually answers questions that are asked of him, and he seems like he actually cares about his responses. And Ben, despite having a clear difference of opinion, is a perfect person to have a conversation about UBI with because he’s going to challenge it and help either make or break your case for it. This was a very nice interview; great job gents.
I thought Shapiro was rather mild here. UBI is a first step to paid wages by the state. Supposedly equal.
Very nice comment, couldn't agree more.
Me too
Ben is getting a lot better at asking questions without inserting himself.
He really only does when a politician tries to bs his answer or questions
ben knows how to listen, watch his other videos. he only inserts himself when someone is purposefully twisting his words and misquoting him
He's growing up before our eyes
i disagree his always been like this. look at his interviews with NDg tyson. i think ur projecting.
I respect them both for having a conversation and breaking it down in a respectful way!!
Civil, uncensored conversation. No deceptive editing. No one shouting each other down. It's because adults were in the room and the MSM wasn't allowed in.
Yang is basically MSM now.
Yang is always on MSM. MSM does do interviews like this too you know lol it isn't some boogie monster, calm down.
@@AZ2PM MSM is absolute trash. They've been caught on tape admitting so openly. Wake up.

This is the mainstream media.

Yang was my boss 16 years ago when I lived in NYC. Cool guy.
Really? That's actually very cool.
Where?
I'm used to Ben doing more theater in his interviews and doing more "destroying" type "what about-isms" than actually engaging in a dialogue. This was a refreshing change, a respectful and reasonable exchange of ideas with both giving the other plenty of opportunity to flesh out their thoughts. And I agree with Yang that UBI is at least something we should consider as development in AI starts to replace not only labor workers but also white-collar workers as well with automation.
Our country needs more conversations like this. I applaud both Ben and Andrew for the well-reasoned way they presented their arguments. A refreshing change from the empty calories that most of the media serves up.
Yang can have a sane conversation with anyone. His ideas include everyone and are real solutions and not just band aids to our problems. He’s ahead of his time.
Even just 20 years ago, this type of interview was common on mainstream television news networks. Special segments of course, but still, it was readily available.
Great respect for Yang, despite being a far leftist, for actually having open discussions with the other side. I mean, shapiro and yang are prtty much polar opposite on everything, yet they have a calm polite discussion. Of course I think Yang is living in a fantasy and nothing he proposes can ever work, but still massive respect.
Praise the fucling sun!!
@@nekomancey4149 why do you believe it won’t work? And I agree what a fresh of breath air to have 2 people who don’t agree on almost anything yet didn’t argue. I think they both came out with a better understanding of each other. I believe if Yangs plans were implemented the country would be a better place. And not an utopian type of way, in a America is back way.
Yang is the ONLY candidate that I know of who has no reservations about stepping across the isle and taking interviews with people who he knows will challenge his beliefs.
It’s refreshing and I don’t think that he gets nearly enough credit for it.
Well you have tulsi who's walked away from the Democrat party but still insists on being a Democrat meanwhile more of her beliefs are on the Republican side of the isle
@@greedgod5827 It’s hard out there for “Moderate” candidates on the left (and the right for that matter). The far-left of the party forces them to be more liberal, and if they aren’t willing to, then they may as well rebrand as a moderate Republican.
It’s because he’s done his research, and has good arguments. The same cannot be said of the leftists too afraid to go on Shapiro’s show.
He deserved the presidency.
@@jkonrad I’m curious how do you cope with the fact that Ben for years has ran away from debates by Sam sedar, Kyle kulinski, vaush, destiny, hasanabi and a few others?
Impressive and honest interview without any ‘gotcha’ questions. Two grownups having a discussion. Excellent work Ben.
Forgive me for being ignorant of the man, but Yang is very smart. He actually tries to base his beliefs and political philosophy off of data (and what looks like sincere desire to help).
Kudos to Ben for not constantly interrupting in the interview!
Yang has ties with Sillicon Valley and guess where did the idea of UBI come from? Sillicon Valley.
A bunch of corporations coming together spending time and energy to make regular people's lives better, right? When does that ever happen? NEVER! It's a grift and a trap, UBI will be the end if financial freedom.
@@Daniela-pr7rz imo ubi is a way to give people less stress and more freedom and will alleviate poverty
@@EmjayMusic05 it's a trojan horse and they know exactly people are going to react like you do, because people don't think 2 steps ahead. But the corporate world that came up with this concept already have 7 steps ahead figured.
You'll understand some time into UBI, but it will be too late, the government controlled by corporations will own you at that point.
@@Daniela-pr7rz im thinking two steps ahead. Looking at the tests that have been so far completed shows UBI have only improved life, and even in a country like Namibia (a test was actually done there) poverty and starvation rates were decreased. It would be the governmnet paying you, not corporations, so im not sure i understand your view here
@@EmjayMusic05 I do not know what tests they did, but once you give ubi to ALL population, things are different than giving a hand full of people ubi for a test.
Mentalities change, the prices for food and rent go up, people are more dependent on the government and the government starts to impose conditions so you are not denied ubi.
Corporations are big enough to own the government and influence the laws.
Who pays for ubi? not the poor, not the corporations, that is why they lobby, so loopholes are in place for them, so again it's the middle class that will pay and little by little will merge with the poor. Corporations win, for middle class is their competition and once that is gone, they will be the only ones to make the rules on the market.
People need to be helped to be independent and able to provide for their families, not to depend on government's benevolence, as that is the end of personal freedom: when you have a sugar daddy, you have to dance to it's tune.
It’s staggering how I was able to listen to both points of view with true curiosity, all because of how poised and respectful each person was.
Debating is a lost art
I almost thought in my head “Someone call someone a nazi or a racist” 🤣
Key word there is "respectful" which has been very absent in today's debates.
Welcome to civilization
@@Xave2541 Yup. That's what we've become conditioned to expect at this point in America. That's crazy, isn't it?
I like Yang because he’s someone who you can respectfully disagree with. He debates his points and is always respectful. He never seems to have lack of respect for anyone who disagrees with him, unlike other people on the left.
If the left was honest this man would be their poster child.
I couldn't agree more. Definitely have respect for the man
@@filippians413 Agree 100%. The majority of current democrats are driving people farther to the right. If they were all like Yang and Tulsi, there would be much more centralism/neutrality in politics. These are people whom I believe would compromise and create balanced bills with republicans, as it should be.

Great open conversations need to continue. I'm not a huge Yang enthusiast, but I respect a person who is willing to discuss and defend their point of view.
@Kommisar I would state yes to your question.
@Kommisar I stand by my original statement. I respect the fact that someone who may have completely different viewpoints but stands for what they believe in and backs their point of view, I honestly respect that. You're the one bringing up nazis. The entire conversing between Yang and Ben were specific. It's about the government supporting the nation (which I opposed), but listened to Yang and what he had to say. I respect the fact that he didn't waiver in such a way that most politicians do. He stated his view and defended himself. You then take a statement of mine, add something so appalling as neo nazis, and think you're brilliant. You're not. Stop trying to add to the nonsense and stick to the subject which is payments to the citizens from a government. It's not about racism.
@Kommisar We differ in our belief system and like I originally posted, I'm not a Yang enthusiast, but he did argue his point. We shall agree to disagree.
@Kommisar Not cherry picking. However, stay on topic. If this original discussion were about racism, I would have an opinion on that subject. Understand the word "context"? My statement stands and you should attempt to troll another post and here's a hint for you, lol under the phrase "racist, nazi" etc and stay on topic. We're done.
@Kommisar I stand with what I've stated Kommisar. I'm going to now return to my usual day of business in the court room. Take care of yourself and try to stick to the subject matter on hand if you ever see another one of my posts. You're not rational in the sense that we're talking about one item and you're attempting to hijack and troll a post.
I love this style of video where both people have the chance to speak without interruption. As a viewer I can actually learn more instead of just hearing a few words followed by an interruption and shouting match.
These are the types of conversations Americans need to see. If we can't come to agreements logically as a society, we're doomed. And these two men are thoughtful and articulate in their beliefs without resorting to anger or pearl-clutching.
amen. totally agree. (great comment sir)
This is why a certain type of people don't want such conversation to happen. It will take away any sense of power they derive from division.

You've gotta give Ben alot of credit for re-uploading his Yang interview while Yang campaigns for NYC mayor.
He's got to be better than DeBlasio... right?
I’m not so sure it’s an endorsement, but it’s definitely a statement, allowing people to know and understand one of the candidates.
But, as a conservative from central New York, I really wish he’d run for governor instead. New York City gets everything meanwhile our economy is in shambles and we’ve been left mostly forgotten by our government
For sure, anyone is better then Deblasio. He is pure incompetent.
I'd be shocked if it was a coincidence
Yang would make a much better mayor than the guy New York has now.
How about lowering the retirement age versus raising it and at the same time, stop taxing retirees. It would create more job openings and encourage spending for seniors, like myself, who are on fixed incomes and have little extra money to spend. Just something I have noodled on for some time now.
Corporate media wonders why their loosing viewers? here you go! This is way more civil and put together than any news channel in recent years. Keep up the great content!🇺🇸
I'm not a fan of Andrew Yang, but i have more respect for him having a adult discussion with Ben, Feelings being left out of the discussion is refreshing.
Right man. It's nice seeing people actually act like adults
Facts don't care about your feelings
I was going to say the same thing. I really wish more political discussions were like this. There are too many that really go no where because they just end up becoming a finger pointing match. Filled with defensive responses driven why the other side is wrong instead of discussing the actual issue.
Yang deserves huge credit. He’s actually willing to talk to people who don’t think the same as him. Very rare for today’s left.
Maybe its because the people who ought to think the same as him are ignoring him and not giving him a platform? Or maybe because this is what true "reaching across the aisle" looks like, whereas for your standard Demopublicans this only happens for corporate bailouts and wars.

@Greywolf88 just because someone proposes a dumb idea doesn't mean they're dumb. He's made himself famous through his idea of communistic UBI. It's possible he knows it's bad for the country. Hard to tell.
This was the best BS shapiro video I've seen because it actually states the democratic party's position truthfully for once. All his videos on Biden's policies are inaccurate or include calculated omissions. Yang proves big government can work and that taxing huge organizations like Amazon isn't a bad thing. I don't think there's a single BS question that stumps him.
Hope most dems come on to actually discuss their positions with balance, which is the main thing lacking on BS's channel.
@@AZ2PM You cannot tax Amazon dude. It's a pipe dream. There's too much corruption. Even if they pay they will receive a kickback of some sort that makes up for it. Corporate giants like Amazon love a progressive tax because it keeps their competitors at bay. The fight against income inequality (UBI included) will give a larger market share to the exact corporations pursuing automation. If there is no income inequality, there is zero mobility in the market (no financial ladder to climb), which makes it impossible for average joes to eventually compete with amazon. The closer we get to that, the worse off we are. Unless you have an idea to minimize corruption, you'd want the government to back off of these small businesses and let them thrive. You want a perfect example of big government? FORCING small businesses to close down. We just saw it in 2020. But just like with taxes, the corporate elites get a pass. Bezos added $60 BILLION to his net worth while tons of small businesses (who would never pursue automation) were closed down permanently. When the government gets involved, the richest of the rich prosper. And it'll stay that way until we get term limits in congress.
What bothers me is now entitled Yang is. He has never worked with addicted or the disenfranchised on an intimate level. Anyone who has done constant volunteer work or has spent more than 2 weeks living on the street knows exactly what giving them all 1k each a month would do. All he has to go on is surveys his team did. And an addict will tell you anything, and they actually believe themselves when they tell them that they would use the money to better their lives. But I've seen one homeless man methed out almost kill another one over $10 so he could get a fix. Yang doesn't and refuses to understand the psychology of addiction.
You'd have to be ignorant and heartless to want to end so many lives to overdoses and murders from robberies. Unless that is his long term plan to rid America of two major issues ......
Andrew Yang is the real deal. I have immense respect for someone driven to action from hands on experience not ideology and thats why he's able to easily show why ideological solutions don't work. The idea that we should all move to cities and that middle age truckers are going to learn to code is the type of silliness only ideologues could buy into.
Respect to Andrew Yang for going on the show. As much as we may not like his ideals.

Universal basic income works the same way excessive unemployment benefits are working right now. It’s a great way to incentivize absolutely nothing and punish whoever is making enough money to subsidize it. It leads to drug infested hell holes where nice communities used to be. Thanks Andrew!

@@robmangeri777 and u realize how much of our tax money goes to complete BS that benefits no one but the 1%? If we just trimmed the fat off the useless tax dollar spending and put it into UBI it wouldn’t have to change our taxes much at all. And everyone would benefit. If you make the lower class a little more financially stable, that helps the entire economy. Having a poor class hurts the economy more than anything cause they don’t have anything to put back into the economy
Interesting how it's easy to listen to someone when they are making sense and not screaming at you. I actually enjoyed hearing his opinions.
@Brad1156 do you think Yang's ideas are bad?
@@rxtriad1099 Government is bad and the more we depend on it the more miserable we will be.
@@yusriyahbagheri8843 in most cases this is true, sometimes government is the only real option.
I'm glad to hear him express his views but I'm half way through the video and his ideas are truly delusional. He said everyone should get $1000 per month. From where!?? From the productive members of the economy. That would be how much money? A staggering sum of money over and above what we have to obtain through taxation now. And the problem just begins there. It will soon be a cry "but $1000 a month is not enough to live on."
@@rxtriad1099 Yes the government is the problem and this interview is pointless ! the government will pay is a socialist leftist idea. America is going down and all the money printing in the world will not stop it happening it will just debase what value is left.
The biggest problem this country is currently facing is the lack of civil discourse. Thanks Ben and Mr. Yang for giving us some.
I like how two people could have different opinions and just... talk about it. This is the america I remembered.
Probably one of the most refreshing and important discussions posted recently. The major news networks better wise up and realize that viewers are craving more rational and intelligent discussions regarding crucial economic and social issues... A major news network would never broadcast something like this because Andrew and Ben did not start screaming at and insulting each other... there were no forced histrionics.
Great Conversation.I think one big factor that no one talks about is the repercussions of young people with small crimes or fines costing them there license.Which turns into a spiral down.I get fines I can't pay,lose my license and now can't reliably make it to work to paid fines or make court dates and appointments.So people choose to drive anyway to survive.Which leads to more fines,jail time and constraints on time and longer license suspension or revocation.This is more of a rural problem obviously because of not having access to public transportation and further distances to travel for daily life.
I’m an Alaskan and I receive an annual dividend. The difference with this Alaskan dividend and the monthly government check he is talking about is that our dividend check is not provided by the taxpayers. Alaska has a huge savings account which is invested, and this annual dividend check comes off of a percentage of the profits of that savings account. The equity is never touched and nobody’s taxes is ever raised for our benefit. The state of Alaska did a very wise thing back in back in the day to help its residents deal with a higher cost of living up here.
That would be a disaster... unless you’re a Leftist.
@@jaymanson3736 UBI originally comes from the right. Milton Friedman, not exactly a socialist
I agree with you, the issue for me is he used Alaska that has a yearly dividend and is trying to use that to sell a monthly dividend for the entire country that’s significantly in debt
@@rodneyneal509 He literally said higher cost of living which implies the direct reason why it works... for alsaka. So you can stop partisan lying about any hard sells.
@Jay Manson No one is correct on every issue. Friedman had the right concept thou.
Ben and Yang are two guys we need more of in the political discourse. They clearly disagree on so much, but they were able to sit down and have a great conversation where everyone learns something!
Ben sadly has a lot of non-genuine discourse and is part of the reason so many in this country do not have healthcare.
@@dave3269 i feel like it's a bit of a stretch to blame Ben Shapiro, a man that has never held public office nor worked for a health insurance company, for people not having healthcare.
Imagine if we had a repeat of the 1864 Lincoln-Johnson ballot, with a Trump-Yang bipartisan ballot... Place a focus on real unity.
@@dave3269 actually, the reason so many don't have healthcare can be laid at the feet of Joe Biden, the VP under Barack Obama...
my own grandfather's insurance company went under, thanks to Obamacare, as he was dying of cancer. my grandmother had to sell the house to pay the bills, because neither the insurance company nor Obamacare would cover it. I said some things, got an "other than honorable" discharge for speaking out against our government, which was lucky. They tried to give me a "bad conduct" discharge, but the court ruled in my favor.
Anyways... that's 2 examples of healthcare being destroyed by Obamacare ^_^... 2 of about 50-million.
how many followers does Shapiro have?
Shapiro fans desperately want the other side to take Ben more seriously so any time he does an interview they have to mention how “respectful” he is
Holy crap I may believe in UBI now 😂
I absolutely love how these two were able to get together and have a peaceful discussion! Would love to see more of this!
It's nice to see two people with different political views, talking about their views based on their merits, rather than quashing political speech based on identity politics or some other nonsense. These are the types of conversations that I feel like america isn't seeing enough of currently
Forreal. We need more of this.
This is a perfect example of how two intelligent people can discuss a subject with civility. A concept that is sadly frequently forgotten in today's 'new' society.
It's not forgotten, it's intentionally ignored. Civil conversation and real consideration of conflicting ideas is counter to the tribal mindset. The tribal mindset raises massive support the more that the individual identifies within one side or the other (yes it can happen on both sides). The greatest benefactor in creating the tribal mindset is maintaining a proper narrative. Which is one reason why civil conversation is so absent. Narrative keeping is why only select stories make the news. If it doesn't confirm the pre-established narrative, then it's not fit for consumption because it is politically unproductive. Which circles back on itself as tribal mentality will prefer news stories that reaffirm the mentality, and big surprise: the media is not a charity, they are in it for money, they do what makes money. This cycle is a powerhouse of media consumption and political isolation. So it's like Twitter.

One factor not mentioned here as to why people can't always just move across the country for work is most lower income families rely on nearby family for childcare. Childcare is incredibly expensive so having older retired relatives nearby to help can make a gigantic difference.

I'm impressed that Ben brought him on and actually listened to him, considering Yang's views are almost the complete opposite.
One point stood out: Moving. Picking up and moving is one of the impediments to relocating. Frequently the job available does not allow a worker to maintain or develop a safe working life. Try moving from the Midwest to Southern California. Living wage disparity. Housing cost reality.
Very impressed with how Andrew responds to difficult questions and opposing views from Ben and yet remains perfectly calm.
strange, it's almost like a healthy debate / normal dialogue.

Andrew yang is a FREAKING MORON!!!
Every country were UBI was tested it FAILED MISERABLY!!!
No one would go working!!
And look what's happening to America now!! Companies are hiring and no one wants to work because of social security checks!!!
UBI is just like comunism!! It's a great idea that fails miserably in real life!! People are lazy by hart!!
Yang was truly a dark horse, what he said before coronavirus lockdowns became a thing. Everything he said came true at a hyper degree. Insane we only focus on less eligible people.
Edit: I was referring to what describing the job market. So many variables are happening simultaneously. There are claims there are enough jobs but at the polar end they're being automated away and outsourced. Some companies can pay out $15/hr but will opt out into higher cheaper labor since it's not illegal to pay non us citizens cheaper. Although I'm kind of on the fence of Ubi, unemployment income is a terrible example because you can only receive if you working a job (one or the other). Ubi in theory can be earned while you're working. In practice I can see why not individuals can work and receive Ubi with a VAT tax. I personally would prefer to get rid of income tax and increase asset class taxes (capital, stocks, real estate, etc) and include vat tax. But that's just me.
The forsaken old man?

This was a joy to watch. 2 really smart and well-researched men talking and listening well about important issues.
Well done to BS for having Yang on. For once the Democratic position on why big government programs can be a good thing is stated clearly without hysteria or hyperbole. Why taxing huge businesses properly like Amazon makes sense economic sense. This is what Biden is putting forward too. I feel it's a valid position.
@@AZ2PM it's really intriguing because it seems like it's something that could be tried, and we'd see pretty quickly if it's working (I.E. 3-4 years).
Ben actually does appear to invite people in from the liberal Democrat side on economic issues at least for example when he talked to a D from California on federal minimum wages
@@nath9091 Ben is a very smart guy, but he too often talks to the screen or talks to others who echo him, leaving massive gaps in many of his arguments. This isn't constructive. When he got famous for challenging students at colleges, that was the problem - these are college kids, hardly a challenge.
When he talks to innovative, forward thinking dems he seems to be open to dialogue more, and when he states his position he is often corrected (which I feel Yang does he quite well). I respect BS on many of his conservative views, but some of his economic insights don't hold up under scrutiny.
You know we're well and truly screwed when the most impactful thing about an interview/debate is that the participants are surprisingly civil.
A Democrat and a Republican speaking together calmly and well articulated? Must be a CIA founded Nazi Psy Op, where is Q with the answers when you need them
What??
I could sense some real tension and they both realized that they would loose the 'fight' if they displayed anything less than professional conversation :/

The problem with political commentators these days is they fixate on small issues and 'make mountains out of mole hills' to generate outrage, clicks and consequently revenue for themselves.

This is how you earn votes, by sitting down with the other side and respectfully having a discussion. This is refreshing and welcome to watch
especially voters across the isle. yelling and screaming at them and blaming them for everything that's wrong is a great way to never get that person to consider your point of view.

@@Brodyjaxon I agree
@@Brodyjaxon I'm not a po, my political compass avatar is accurate, _However_ ...I am *also* a logical, sensible, and rational human being that recognizes that reality does *not* change according to my feelings... as such I've been *VERY* disappointing with what the "American Left" has been picking as "Their Leaders" for the past few decades. I do still hold out hope that things aren't quite as bad as it would seem, and that it's _Mostly_ the loud aggressive _Minority_ of the left that has been getting attention... but when they pass bills using reconciliation that requires *ALL* of them (just the democrats though, but all of them) to agree on the bill... It worries me. This is why when I heard Trump was thinking about starting up a 3rd Party option, I got a little excited. Admittedly, I think trump _Personally_ is not a person I would get along with, thankfully his administration is *NOT* his personality. And while I do not agree with every little thing they've done... I happily admit that they *ACTUALLY* did a lot of genuinely good things. I'd just be happier if there wasn't an option to *COMPLETELY IGNORE* what the other party thinks and make vast and serious changes to the Nation. If there was a 3rd Party... well then whichever political party the Majority of america agreed with _at the time_ would *Still* have to at least work with *SOME* of the people from another Party to get bills passed, change laws, etc. Like then if they only needed 5 extra votes, they could try to convince 5 people from the party that agrees with them more on the issue, *OR* , find a couple people from BOTH parties that agree with the idea, or could suggest *REASONABLE* changes to the plan, etc.
This whole "Two Party" system of: Either "Red shit" or "Blue Shit"... and sometimes it won't matter what *YOU* want, it will be *PURE* red or blue shit, not any shade of purple. This conversation of Ben and Yang is a *GREAT* example of a purple conversation... but with 3 primary colors you get to create all the colors of the rainbow... oh god damn it, why did I have to mention rainbows... now the LGBTQIA-Z police will find me.... *"I want the rainbow back! You don't get to have ALL the colors you greedy fucks!"* lol.
@SP so in this alternate reality you live in. Do they still have chipotle?
@SP
1) There is no evidence that Shapiro or Crowder are "afraid" to debate anyone.
2) Sam Seder's entire goal is to make his "opponents" look stupid, which is not the format of Crowder's or Shapiro's show
3) If I hosted something like the Ben Shapiro Show, there is no way I would ever bring publicity to someone like Seder. He's rude, arrogant, and annoying to listen to. His character is the polar opposite of this interview.
I definitely appreciate Yang and his willingness to have conversations. I am conservative and small government, but I like the guy and respect his views. It was great to see him and Ben discussing the problems with level heads!

I don't agree with Yang, but I like how he talks and articulates his ideas.
RACISTTTT
That’s what communists do lol
Communism is never the answer... Yang‘s proposal puts way too much power in the hands of the government..
@That's On Point! no he’s not. Truth is we are moving to a higher IQ society. This will leave people behind. Ubi would not solve this problem but maybe it could help. If you don’t have an high enough IQ in this future society you won’t be able to compete. Someone needs to address that this world is only becoming more complex not less. Truck drivers are not the same as coders or people in retail.
@That's On Point! me to and he was in this meeting with the world leaders during event 201 and at a meeting that happened in China in February I think of last year. Socialism destroys everything it touches including people, cities and ecosystems !
I believe Yang truly wants to help, he doesn't seem overly power hungry like most politicians.
Ben uses "disability" here a few times seemingly to refer to the entire social safety net, particularly at 10:40. Either this is a slip of a tongue, or pernicious AF from a person whose side is constantly attacking the social safety net. "Disability" aka Social Security Disability Insurance is not welfare, it's not unemployment insurance, it's something completely different for people who are disabled and can no longer work or otherwise produce things. It makes sense that these people aren't likely to volunteer or produce if they cannot physically perform those tasks. It's also really easy to get denied or kicked off of if they suspect you aren't actually disabled, which explains why they don't volunteer or create art or produce in ways that Ben wants them to even though they have free time. Even if they physically could find a way to produce something, the nature of their source of income incentivizes them to not do anything lest they might lose their support. As Andrew Yang points out, if their income wasn't tied to this disability with a UBI, it stands to reason that there would be more people who are free to find ways to contribute to society in whatever ways they can.
Aussie here. man this Yang guy is impressive. When I compare him to Biden and Trump, he's in a different league. Intelligent, humble, respectful, empirically-driven. Great stuff. Great interview Ben. I know you disagree with a lot of his points, but you listened really well. Kudos to both men.
@Nat Clarke. I agree with you and was really rooting for Yang for the 2020 elections. Unfortunately, it seems candidates driven to make changes are squeezed out early. Without doubt, there are a certain percentage of people capitalizing on the way things are; and, they need them to stay the same.
Ben giving Andrew Yang more of a platform than the dnc, funny world we live it. But fr props to him for being willing to sit down and have a mature conversation.
Conservatives are clearly more free speech pro.
cancel unemployment. Cancel Social security. Cancel all governmental benefit programs, SNAP, Housing, etc (except CHIP). Keep UBI right at the poverty line for each locality/area/ place of residence just like the military pays their Soldiers. put colleges and adult medical insurance in a capitalist framework. have them compete for lower rates. end of story.
UBI could have stopped a lot of the current problems
he said exactly what I(as a person on disability am concerned about) am worried would happen if I volunteer, I would lose disability benefits. Also, maybe to respond to the comment about Amazon not paying any corporate taxes, maybe we should institute a minimum corporate tax of like 1 percent for monolithic type businesses, especially ones that don't allow their employees to take bathroom breaks. I believe in a UBI, but I also believe a single payer, government health care system would be much better so long as it does not suffer from the same kind of taint that the existing health care system has...long wait times, inexcusable paperwork, needing to schedule an appointment 2 or more weeks in advance to see a doctor with the exception of the ER...all of our health information should be on a national database, easily accessible to any hospital anywhere in the country by simple usage of a national health card like so many other developed nations. Doctors, Nurses, Technicians all get paid on a set schedule and have job security and we could even have incentives like tuition reimbursement plans for those who choose to work in the public sector for a given amount of time to make if more worth their public service. I would like to be a senator, I just don't like the idea of running for office, I solve problems I do not however offer political leanings or snide remarks...most of the time.
I(as a person on disability and concerned about)* correction...I hate when I look dumb by making a typo
This is what I want to see more of - people actually talking about competing ideas for our future, instead of throwing pointless, empty words at each other. Thank you.
"Will you shut up man?"

You’re only saying that bc of his interaction with Shapiro. Looks like you’re easily influenced
Then he should start by solving the problem of how to pay for UBI... 255m adults × 12k = 3T/year... Which is all the taxes collected, which only pays the interest on national debt...
In reality, he wants to be your savior. No thanks.
I think UBI could be a great idea if the money that went towards Social Security, Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, EBT, Section 8 Housing and Unemployment was reallocated for UBI. Also, UBI should only be given to adults that work, retirees and adults that are on disability. Yeah, the people that receive the aforementioned aid would be hurt but it would incentivize them to work. If you work and pay taxes and play your role in supporting society you get an extra 1k a month. You stop working you stop getting your “free” money. As of right now, I don’t agree with UBI but I think there would be ways to implement it and I would love to see an experiment done in the USA on a smaller scale. Something like at the county or city level.
Yang - What we’re gonna do is make you so uncomfortable you will beg for UI
Negative Income Tax > Universal Basic Income
you sir, at least understand how it works
Fax
Yes but not as fun
Yes, makes sense to me. The ultimate conclusion is that technology will displace everyone and everyone will need UBI. The machines will take over all jobs with the advent of Artificial .intelligence. No one will have jobs. Please pay me $Billion now so I can retire. Its just printing money, what’s the problem?? I am not greedy, I am not asking for a trillion dollars,,.,
The key counter point would be that those at the bottom of the income chain pay less in taxes to begin with, so they would benefit less from tax cuts on an absolute scale.
UBI is just a fancy name for wealth redistribution.
