This man does interviews with Ben Shapiro AND The Root? Whether he succeeds or not we need more people doing this in politics
Something like this really holds up after time, compared to debates, where everyone is simply looking for who had the best one-liner. It's very respectable that Andrew Yang would go all around the political spectrum to share his viewpoints, while also having sincere and honest conversations.
Ben Shapiro is no one special, just an opportunist who's figured out that "right-wing" contra to anything that remotely has a left lean to it, earns big money! Nothing more! You could easily do the same.
@@cetti4405 I mean, you're right. But he has a crazy amount of influence in the conservative movement. So by being on his show, Yang is at least reaching tons of people.
@Mi87 That depends on whether he's targeting you, your beliefs and your point of view and if his targeting is self-serving (which it primarily is) it is disingenuous. I can point out a few instances of this that I by chance ran across, but honestly, he's not important enough to me to bother...
@@TheZchristina97 - He knows who his audience is. They are the same people who feed on the rantings of Fox's right-wing nuts, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc. and they do so rabidly. Maintain the narrative that they want to hear and you will garner their loyalty. And that loyalty can make you rich. Like I said, you could do the same...
Very intelligent man, he can instantly engage the interviewer on their level without talking above but to their level. That's a sign of a true leader.
Doesn’t pander, just caters.
@Vicious Saito Technological advance is good and welcomed by most people. The UBI is to help us through these disruptive changes.
@@higreentj UBI is just giving a wage subsidy to workers that corporations themselves should be paying.
@@henrygustav7948 It is a problem I think the big tech companies are doing a lot of good but we all have to pay tax.
@@higreentj the problem is that its status quo and keeps the elite in power.
Hahah I am from South Africa, so let me tell you America when you find someone who can bring both sides together do not let him go to wast this dude needs to be your next president.
I am having the same thought. I had never heard of him before today, and I have been watching everything I can find. Everything I have seen thus far makes me think he is the one, by a huge margin. I am a middle-aged liberal, who is disenfranchised by the rhetoric of both parties, but this guy sounds like the sort person I have been hoping would exist for decades.
Absolutely agree, from Australia. Please America elect this man as your president
Thank you! I'm planning to vote for him
@@lukek4662 Same. If I could vote for him I would haha
Same here from Denmark. I wish we had implemented the UBI first, but now it seems that America is on their way to show the rest of the world how it’s done.
I'm black and all about us, but God damn The Root, get a new interviewer. This was crap. Dude was trying too hard to sound smart(er), and probably did more of a disservice in trying too hard.
And why is the interviewer putting forth the worst fears and platitudes of white people? We don't want to take over anything! And give me my 40 acres and my mule in 2020, at 2020 prices, no interest or late penalties required! I'll make it do what it do!
Yeah, he makes theroot look bad. :(
@@eddiet3026 ok cause you should get reparations for something you never faced😂
CLASSIFIEDGTA black people are still facing disadvantages from systems that were developed when white people saw black people as less than human. One of these is the prison system. Watch the 13th on Netflix. They have really solid evidence from administration workers to audio tapes. The drug war was also a huge disadvantage to the black and Mexican communities. They not only labeled gangsters as terrorists, they made a specific law where people would get more time for doing crack than someone who did cocaine. Basically the same drug. Lower income communities saw more crack since it was cheaper and richer communities saw more cocaine since it is expensive. Black man is more likely to get pulled over. This is because the dehumanization towards brown folks throughout the 1900's Eisenhower had a private screening to a racist film depicting a black male being violent, and animalistic. That film basically reawakened the kkk. I forgot the name of the film. When the slaves were freed, they weren't actually free. Most of them broke, couldn't start businesses, couldn't get good jobs. They worked for their owners once again. The owner would charge them large amounts of money basically putting them in extreme debt basically becoming slaves again. This most definitely put afro Americans at a disadvantage that has carried on for centuries. So yes black People should receive 40 acres and a mule not 40 ounce an a pit bull.. bullshit..
He seemed like he was trying to trip yang up the whole time.
The interviewer's attitude was... well, I can't really say anything positive about it. But Yang answered like a champ. What a legit dude.
The interviewer is an idiot.
J R yeah he’s salty because he knows all these guys dodging and bait and switch and ignoring BLACK people!
Is that something to brag about?
I'm a die hard conservative but I really like him. Hes the only democrate that will debate his views with anyone.
Lol, I saw this guy on Tucker Carlson several times. When Tucker Carlson says, "I couldn't agree with you more"---there is no way the left will give him a chance. The left is already criticizing him because he is getting "white nationalist support." at first glance, his UBI seems ridiculous. But when asked, "How much will that cost? How can we pay for it?" He has answers!!! But he has no chance in hell. Nobody will want to debate him on the issues---watch the attacks start building up (the alt.right supports you!). His Ben Shapiro interview should be required watching so people can see what intellectual debate is about.
william rodgers hes not the only one he just caught your attention. But good or bad maybe.
@@natanaelrodriguez3953 I still side with conservative values and ideas, but I think our country needs a decent mix of both. I want people to work hard for what they have, without fear of losing it because you made to much, but I also think we should elevate the poor as much as we can.
I do not think the poor are that bad off here and studies have shown as the pay gap increases the poor actually benefit but I do see a future where we will have to take care of others because of the lack of jobs. I really love the idea of the venus project, but until we get to that point its every man for himself.
@@natanaelrodriguez3953 also, can you please refer me to another democrate who can debate with people like Ben Shapiro and rely soly on the facts and logic of their policies? I know people do debate against the right but they never seem to give straight answers.
@@natanaelrodriguez3953 Well, you don't mean Buttgieg, Harris, Sanders, Booker or Beto or any of the rest. You must be talking about some democrat that hasn't announced. Ok, Biden could have an ok conversation---but the left has chewed him up (he's been pretty quiet holed up in Delaware). Beto is beyond ridiculous
I’m a black viewer and this interviewer made me feel uncomfortable FOR Yang. From him cocking his head up to him right from the start of him talking, to pressing him about reparations for black people, to correcting the man for saying people of color. 🤦🏽♂️ And what was that he said at the start of the interview? Mhm 👀🙄
I don’t think Yang should even have to feel pressured to believe in this idea of black reparation. He’s absolutely right. No financial means is going to make the situation okay. Not a dollar, not a trillion, not even a number so high the word hasn’t been thought of. The means of white people making anything better is simply promoting policies that help the black community. Attack the wage gap is definitely a significant part of that. By having programs like the freedom dividend you’re able to close that gap for all without causing racial tensions. Black people of today aren’t owed anything for their ancestors being enslaved. We’re simply owed equality that includes financially that has pushed us back from the years throughout history even beyond slavery that have made us worse off in large numbers. Let’s talk about governments making communities that were predominantly black attractive by overhauling neighborhoods for rich people who are predominantly white to have that downtown living in expensive condos. Let’s talk about how schools that are predominantly black are still more underfunded to this day. There is so much wrong that’s going on, but telling a man to get the government to write us a fat check because we’re black is not the way. What really is a single check just provided to black people is going to do? Will a significant amount of black people start businesses and get together to make our communities significantly better. Can that even be sustained in the future for our children’s children? Reality is that black people can manage to do that with consistent UBI coming in year after year. We also need to learn to stick close together like a lot of foreign cultures tend to do. Y’all know the stereotypes people like to use. You see a whole extended family of foreigners grouped together in a house to be able to afford to live comfortably, but you have black families scattered throughout the projects turning to gang and criminal activity to support a family. Meanwhile if every adult got $12,000 and grandma, grandpa, mom, dad all stuck together to really help their children that’d be a collective household of around $48,000/yr on top of the income they receive from working. A whole block could collectively work together to multiply that to make necessary house improvements, create a legitimate housing community with security system. Then this could catch on to several blocks and they could all pitch in to make improvements to the park a recreational center or create one if it doesn’t exist there. I’m sure if this UBI actually makes it through legislation so many black neighborhoods won’t do this. But that is ultimately the necessity for our people that the government can only provide the initial seed. We have to nourish that seed and allow our collection of trees to grow healthy.
amen
You know what, you just turned me into a Yang fan and I agree with everything you said.
I think we deserve our original 40 acres & a mile. Translate that into today's world would be a house and a means to make money. Say legalize marijuana and give black people away to have an easy foot into the door to start our own businesses considering they use it to destroy our communities. Once it's legal, we should use it to build them back up.
However, I believe the black people that have been unjustly victimized by our criminal justice system should IMMEDIATELY be released, records expunged and they should get some monetary reparations which can be quantified in their case.
BravoSixZer0 there’s a key difference in the Japanese and Jewish reparations compared to a proposed African American reparation. The people who were affected in those are still alive. They actually experienced the trauma. African Americans today didn’t experience slavery. And there are many benefits in place for minorities that many people seem to discredit, such as schools accepting minorities over whites who have the exact same grades. I’m fighting for equality, but it seems like many people are just fighting for their own culture or race.
Yada I agree that any African American imprisoned for pot should easily get reparations when weed is finally federally legal. I don’t agree with giving reparations for slavery, due to the fact that we’ve moved so far past that point. And I believe any amount of money will not fix the problems that go on in said communities
Bahaha, this interviewer is used to nonblack people cowering and acting desperate to appear nonracist. Yang knows he's talking to a delusional person and he just sticks to the facts but doesn't stir the pot or play what essentially amounts to reverse identity politics. This is what we need in a president.
Judah Martin who’s we exactly?
@@Ned_Slanders Americans.
Preach it
Judah my brother 😄😄 the interviewer made me stop watching half way through. I wanted to throw my phone hearing him. Fuck reparations!
Equality is his thing. No one gets special treatment. Not even the corporations
I'm Black and I thought the interviewer was a horrible. I want the best for my people, President has to take care of all the people.
I'm black as well. This was painful to watch.
Great I want the best for all people too, not just asians 👍
You're wrong
In his other interviews, Yang is opposed to identity politics because it doesn’t completely address all issues without creating new ones. He is a man that wants the best for ALL Americans in a natural and nondiscriminatory way. Although he agrees that people come from different backgrounds, he is trying to unite America rather than separate it with identity politics
I'm really black and not a white man faking like I'm black. And growing up around other blacks I know for a fact that no real black people are going to turn down getting $1,000 a month. Only old white people that are Trump voters would turn down getting $1,000 a month
The fact that Yang was able to come out of this interview looking like a champ under such sensitive racial topics is pretty impressive. Hes prob my front runner on the left and against Trump? I'd opt for Yang
100% agree!
Yeah I think people are focusing too much on the interviewer. People should focus on the fact that Yang is just so good at answering any question that is thrown at him from basically every political angle, whether is a smear or a geniuine question. His ideas and down to earth passion are what this world needs.
champ? lol not sure what you're smoking
Yang will destroy everything Trump worked for so if you voted Trump and then vote Yang then vote for another Trump like president one day then reverse again with a yang like one youre by definition insane.
I think you're making the right decision voting for Andrew Yang. Donald Trump has divided your country. Not only your country. Politicians from some other countries divide themselves, due to Trump's childlike tweets. Even slagging other political leaders.
@@skaracaesar4789 andrew yangs UbI is not for those who need it the most, those already on our goverment assistance programs. so it will create a larger wealth gap making the already very poor even poorer! Trump is not dividing this nation either the MSM is with fake news and propaganda you are brainwashed and ignorant. If people on goverment assistance dont recieve benifits and everyone else does do you not agree that is leaving them behind and will make them much poorer?
He makes decisions based on data - something we can all agree on. Can we just elect him already?
MerK Legend It’s great to see candidates running on data, but also keep in mind that data is a human measurement with human biases.
I Agree. No Gimmicks. No Potential Con lines...Just Numbers. I Trust Numbers.
@@Draven10101 Asians are good with numbers. Not a racist comment since I'm also Asian.
MerK Legend
Data can be intrepid with subjective bias approach. Data can be manipulated. Example, gun crime data are manipulated to take away your rights to have guns and if they could. They will eliminate the 2nd amendment.
Base on @Eric comment. He poses critical thinking skill.
same data that they used trying to push Hillary on us. lol
Yang was awesome at answering and being careful not to offend this tool of a interviewer.
Only reason I watched the whole video is I enjoy watching him interact with all types of people with different opinions and he still gets his message across. He has had interviews with Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Bill Maher, and many others. Easily the best candidate, that people don’t know enough about.
I tend to agree more with republican views, but I’d easily vote Yang over a republican 2020
Your comment was BRILLIANT! Thank you. Yang is next LEVEL! And I hope folks are waking up to this new paradigm shift in the political landscape. Yang is of the 21st century! Therefore we need new tools new language new forms of problem solving that HAS to include all of us. What he Yang calls human capital. Who is paying attention! A REMARKABLE mind this man's has. FRANKLY he blows away EVERY interviewer! Surpasses them! He wants to get to work! We are broken and been stuck in a post industrial construct in a Technological shift this will NOT work.
Why was he a tool of an interviewer? He asked all the right questions don't you think?
Andrew Yang is an absolute genious. I dont think ANY other politician that i have ever seen on the left or right would have been able to go through such a controversial interview, and still be calm, collected, and react to EVERY single question with facts, logic, a plan forward, and hope!
and not piss off a whole bunch of people. agree! he can unify both sides like no one else. sadly, I think the insane Dems will destroy him.
Jordan Arsenault we want yang 2020 a person with a touch of class and understanding we don't have to look no further we got u
yeah! he did repeat alot, but what are you gonna do in that situation
Woojinmangorice he repeated himself because arguably he was asked the same questions for 20 minutes in a different set of words each time.
I approached this interview as a Bernie supporter and i left a Yang 2020 supporter
Yeah I was a Bernie supporter, but Yang IMO is better, smarter and less divisive.He is also up to date with the status of the country, and has a holistic approach to issues.
@@soakedbearrd Yup. Also, he's totally right that just giving people cash is way better than trying to achieve the same benefits indirectly via free college etc. Indirect methods are wasteful and lead to all sorts of harmful side-effects; moreover, it's kinda insulting--it's telling people that you know better than they do what to do with the money.
@@soakedbearrd Def less divisive. He focuses on how to make progress for all.
@@nofurtherwest3474 Yeah that's part of the reason that separates him from the rest. I don't see much partisan bickering, pandering, identity politics and tired rhetoric or outright anger that I hear from most other candidates. I get it, Im angry too and Im not going to take it anymore etc.. but at some point we need to remain objective and ask, what is the source of most our issues, and it seems to revolve around one issue: economy. Economy is why we go to war, economy is why policing has become militarized, economy is why people are hating on corporations and immigrants, economy is what is destroying the ecosystem, economy is what is pushing the dog eat dog mentality, economy is what is making identity politics so popular.
The yang gang force is strong, converting Bernie bros. Welcome onboarding to yang yacht. Gang membership fees (donation) are cheaper than Bernie. Let’s spread his message and get him through the primaries.
You can feel the passion and sincerity in Yang's voice. This guy's a breath of fresh air.
Stop licking the boot.
@@NuclearGameVideos
stop licking the boot-tom
"Not people of colour, black people." Well, to what end. I'm a progressive. Pretty into identity politics myself, if I may put it that way. But this guy just comes across as trying to "catch" Andrew out. It's annoying and unproductive. He literally just said that he agrees with the moral case for reparations but the best way forward for society that materialistically help people (INCLUDING BLACK PEOPLE) is the freedom dividend. Goddamn it. Learn to listen.
Interviewer is representing ADOS; and ADOS is for African Descendants of Slavery ONLY, and ONLY REPARATIONS for ADOS.
Yang is walking into the Lion's Mouth, and managing to be respectful and understanding. He did very well under very difficult conditions.
People of color didn't experience slavery, Jim crow laws, pole taxes, banking that as a rule (and a law)charges them more interest despite income or credit score. People of color as a term doesn't address a deliberate white supremacist system it's not to say that system hasn't done bad things to immigrants that aren't us citizens and Japanese Americans during world war ii and native Americans. As a black person I can see that it is inflammatory to propose things for black people, but it's not for gays, immigrants and saying people of color diminishes the impact this society continues to have on us and the fact that we don't matter. The midwest matters the most in the election despite having way less people, but a higher per capita white population. Black people are only called Americans in the Olympics. Why not call us African American during that too. Working class never means blacks. American as a term only means European descendants.
My vote was going to Bernie , but after watching a few of this mans interviews, it's going to Yang.
I'd like to see a Sanders/Yang ticket. Give Bernie 4 years then Yang/Ocasio Cortez in 2024.
@@big_t_dynastyAre you trying to cause the Second Red Revolution, I don't need Comrade Sanders and Red Cortez turning the free USA into a 1984 type dystopian totalitarian regime, I'll stick with yang, but never Sanders or Cortez
@Mister Steal Your Meme idc, I don't want a USSR. For your information, USSR stands for, guess what United Soviet Socialist Republics, and wlthey are with the Far Left Elites who wanna implement Hate Speech Laws, Thought Crimes, Take away ALL guns, Opens Borders to Everyone, and wanna make a "Utopia". So yeah, and I never said any thing about communists, I said red revolution, as in the Socialist Revolutions, not communists.
@Mister Steal Your Meme basically I'm saying they are with the ones who are trying to create a real life depiction of 1984
This guy is literally agreeing to everything and is flip flopping. You’d be lying to yourself if you think Yang is a substitute to Bernie’s progressive push and policies. This is centrist bs
Make America Think Harder
YAAAAS!!!
Make America Smart Again: MASA!!!
Where did you get your AV? I wouldn't mind one!
Amen!!!
Dude yesssss .lets be a people of thinkers again ,not zimbies .bro yang is real
This interviewer guy kept trying to make it about race when it’s not, and I could sense the hesitancy in Yang’s voice, trying to appeal to him while also addressing the very real class problem, and not being divisive. Running for president is hard!
You’re EXACLTY right. It’s always been about class for thousands of years. But they think if they make it about race then we won’t focus on the money.
Get a Life it’s never been about class poor white felons have it much easier finding a job and getting loans than a black felon when they are the exact financial situation
You mention poor white felons vs poor black felons as related to loans but fail to mention resources, credit ratings, past or current employment status, etc,., which are basic prerequisites for loans.
It is about race! If you don't believe that you need to educate yourself without letting your gut reaction take over. Let alone this channel is about racial issues. Of course he's going to make sure the most pressing issues are asked about and clarified. I think the interviewer didn't give him enough credit. Very few politicians until this candidacy has even acknowledged systematic racism exists like yang has.
I'm glad most people are calling out this interviewer for this.
This interviewer is so aggressive and annoying omg... great job by Yang though tbh
Thank you. I thought it was just me.
Yang can handle any situation
Eh, if you actually consider how serious black voters take their vote and place their trust in someone who's going to stand for one of history's most oppressed racial groups then you'll understand why his interview tactics were on the offense. Yang did well, it's even a bigger plus to have a difficult interview for a candidate like Yang because he's not a politician, running from left field, and this is perfect for him to be taken seriously.
I became a Yang supporter after his Joe Rogan interview, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with him as a candidate, and how he is more than willing to tackle both conservatives and liberals on their own territory and bring them together.
Interviewer was terrible. I'm black and I like how he wanted get Yang to speak to black people specifically but it came of as a very unbalanced interview since he kept the questions on that. He is the President so he must think about everyone naturally
Yeah I feel like black people was the topic of the interview, so that's fine, but the interviewer kept it on topic in a very strange way.
Roman Ricketts the interviewer wants two Americas. Very strange.
I think the point of the interview was to speak about politics involving black people since typically, they feel excluded/negatively impacted by the government.
Okay I see what ur saying now lol
I thought this was America and he was talking about bettering Americans lives. If we talk about breaking everyone up into individual groups then let's help every other race that was put into slavery or otherwise discriminated on such as Irish, Native Americans, Chinese...excreta. stop deciding and start working together.
The most practical candidate who is policy oriented. Intelligent, direct and drama-free. Andrew Yang 2020 🇺🇸💯
pac division p4p , agree. Yang for president
I've never been too involved in politics because most of what I've seen are pandering politicians. This must be the first candidate I've seen that makes freakin sense within the context of our increasingly modernizing world. He is all about facts, logic, and especially the straight forward answers. No fluff in his demeanor unlike most, if not all, of the other candidates currently in the running
@@johnnywang798 We had that in Ross Perot but the country turned on him.
Yep he is one of the actual moresolid candidates, I can tell!
he has a lot of pre-prepared policies. The freedom dividend is one of the most well known.
This interviewer was cringy. “People of color” interviewer: “let’s stick to black people.” 🙄🙄🙄 so aggressive for no reasonable reason.
I get your concern but there's a very different conversation and context between the two terms @Alina Baltazar
It was still cringy
246 years of slavery is cringy
"People of color" is a shitty phrase that non black people use to say, "hey, they're treating us like black people". It's stupid.
Says the woman who uses "reasonable reason" in a sentence....lol
Extremely straight forward. Clearly says no or yes. Then EXPLAINS why he feels that way. Then backs up his perspective with statistics, history, and personal experience.
And then he has a policy to follow up with, that strives to solve the issue
That's why I joined the Yang Gang. Never seen a more candid candidate.
I'm a proud Republican and a proud American conservative and Yang still has my vote. We need more people like him in office even if I disagree with some of his policies. We need to look beyond party politics and Yang does that and more.
In other words, you mean the complete opposite of Trump. LOL
The goal is to choose the best for 2020 and it just may be Andrew Yang. His logic is clear and his intellect is refreshing.
I know it's waaaaay too early to predict who can actually beat Trump, but after learning a lot about Andrew Yang, I'd say he's second or first when it comes to highest potential of beating Trump.
Hes sk refreshing down to earth and full of solutions! Even if he doesn't win im excited to see what issues he can help press into the mainstream conversation with biden bernie beto Warren etc
YexaC it’s pretty clear from the video that he’s not in favor of explicit reparations.
YexaC I don’t need to give you a time stamp, you can find the reparation discussion yourself. It’s obvious by the fact that he never said he would give any reparations despite the interviewer pressing him multiple times about what black specific reparations he’d be dolling out. Yang danced around the question and kept nodding to the dividend as a good first step toward helping the black community meet the white average. It’s obvious to me from Yangs behavior that he has no intention of creating any reparations, something I’m not in favor of either.
A lot of his ideas have a social like view. He's a Bernie Sanders. I don't like that one bit. I don't like people who label themselves "democrat" socialists. It's still a socialist by the end of the day and I'm not going to get boned by one
Yang: (long overdue solutions that will literally help everybody)
Interviewer: BLACK PEOPLE!!!
Well to be fair, it is the Root. If you are going to enter an interview with a platform dedicated to african american news, prepare to talk about black issues. However, I will say that Root doesn't really pair well with my liberal roots. To me they are the reactionary rebel child that split away from common sense and is trying to find their own ground. There is an element of sound identity politics in them. But there is also elements of TMZ in them as well. Being focused on black politics is one thing, but making everyone out as the enemy is another. I also feel some anti asian sentiments in their end. Actually now that I think about it, they are akin to /r/aznidentity
@@youtubeMyspaceGoogleYourYahoo I'm like how the root chooses to break down racial divisions by erecting racial divisions.
Well, maybe their goal isn't erasing racial barriers.
William Cockrell there was no racial division there.... just focusing on black centered questions.
Exactly, the things he is proposing would help black people tremendously!
Honestly, its great seeing Yang address hard hitting questions. Yang showed some finesse, while still directly answering the question.
I can't tell if i should like for Yang or dislike for the interviewer
you like the interview, then when they look at their stats they see how much more love this interview got and they realise (we hope) it was the topic/ guest who got them the love.
of course they may not, people can twist stats to their own devices. if you give it the thumbs down they may think you don't like Yang.... these types aren't self-aware, they have their own lenses to color their world view.
Apples in Mono same 😂
dislike the interviewer
Apples in Mono
Omg same. I usually like Andrew’s interviews but I can’t stand watching this interviewer.
Andrew’s interviews on FOX NEWS are more watchable than this ffs.
Same here
The more I see of Andrew Yang the more I like him, he would make a very fine President and is surely by now at least in the top 3 for the nomination.
I think so too!
I'd like to see him in a cabinet position.
Yang responded well to a bad interviewer. Policies aside, it’s refreshing to see someone who keeps their cool and thinks rationally.
Yes, ass interviewer.
I don’t believe the man was bad interviewer. Naturally, you’d expect a Bend from the root who wants to address issues pertaining strictly to the black community. As a black man, I know our communities are tired of being bullshitted by politicians. He has every right to be aggressive in finding out answers.
On that note, Yang delivered, and I’d like to see other candidates test the waters here. I doubt they would be as successful
Yang: “White communities are suffering from opioid deaths and suicides.” Interviewer: “So you’re saying blacks want to take over those communities?” Rolling my eyes.
Well no one wants to actually say that black communities are suffering from murder if each other and abortions.... When that’s the reality. But I think not being flat broke would help that. 2 adults in a house making money plus $2,000 free!? Can’t beat that shit
yeah I agree this interviewer is way too biased, it really seems like he only cares about black interests and he couldn't care less about people of other ethnic groups. Next time this channel should choose a balanced and pragmatic interviewer, because this one is terrible.
Yang has my vote✊✊. United as one Human race, 🙅not color🙏. The interviewer was horrible in making this about blacks only. 🤦
Thank you for having a brain.

Sao Pooh I can spot a bad interviewer without being a good interviewer. Just like I can spot a poorly thought out argument from you without having to form the same argument but better. I can compare his interviewing style to the industry standard and say this dude clearly sucks.
When one is running for President, they must handle and finesse all kinds of characters. I’m watching Andrew Yang very closely; seems like a cool and composed guy so far.
Patrick Celedio Hes talks like a true American Hero to me

I do not like his answers on Amazon in total. I do agree with them that they must be more aggressively tax and must pay their fair share. However, he has an attitude like the cat can't be put back in a bag. If there's a political will, anything can be done. Heck, for a while it was illegal to own personal goal in this country. FDR put that in the place. We had gas rationing. I'm not saying I agree with these things but these are things that have happened and show what can be done. Came together to win World War II and put a man on the moon. We also gave doe tags Odes to internet company so they could start, Dominic, I'd like you says put both retail out of business because they did not have such breaks. They did not start addressing this until recently but allowed about 20 years of this.
There is no way that certain companies should be able to get away with their anti-competitive behavior. That diaper website situation, an easy predatory marketing case could have been made. Additionally there has been a stifling of innovation and that must also be seriously looked at because that's not good either.
As a black man to another black man, this ain’t it. Trying to press the black card way too aggressively and excessively, chill bruh yang is for the people (everyone).
Every Word Is A Made-Up Word exactly, let that shit go dawwg.
Yang: "Resources will reflect the most disproportionately affected population".
Interviewer: "But what would that look like?"
I don't know? It'll look like allocating resources to the most disproportionately affected population? Such empty questions.

So I been reading up on mr Yang and this cat
1. Does not attack anyone
2. Addresses the issue and suggest a solid plan and solution
3. Shows compassion
4. Knows how to debate
5. Is a unifier
6. Truly cares for all US citizens
7. Is thinking of our future
8. Wants money in our pocket not the governments
I think we are dumb, blind and stupid if we don’t elect this man. We need to put people that are cable to carry us forward in right jobs. We need to watch his back because many of the elite would not like him to reach the next round.
The most important thing I learned from this interview is Yang's ability to sustain civil conversation in the midst of race baiting. What resilience!
Such poise
The one thing that was confirmed was you white supremacists love sticking together regardless as to being European or Chinese.
@@jlabdullah facts
The interviewer is listening, but not hearing what Yang is saying.
That is because he isn't asking questions, he is asking for affirmation of his/his publications beleifs
It was painful to watch. I had to stop after a few minutes of this train wreck.
He isn’t getting pandered too enough, feeble minds need feeble answers.
He's wondering why he's smoking cess/drinking beer and ain't tryna hear what he's kicking in his ear..... wait

You meant hearing but not listening, right?
When I started seeing more of Andrew Yang's and his plans, policies and priorities I actually switched from being a Bernie support to Andrew Yang's. I think he's a step above what Bernie is for
Old white men can't solve this country's problem on any side of the field. We need younger middle ground progressive like Yang.
Way above Bernie.
Yeah, Bernie is basically just pandering to the young and naïve to sell books. I don't think he even sees himself as president. Old ass.
Bernie is fueled by his misplaced rage for the 1%, they're simply doing what comes natural to them whereas Yang comes up with practical solutions
@@cmac2295 you know there are probably a few who could, but no way do they want to step into the ring and deal with the stupidity of the whole circus. He who can get himself elected to President probably doesn't deserve the job.
The freedom dividend is the closest to reparations that we'll ever get. It's a real game changer for millions of Americans. 💯💰

No...basically all these Democrat candidates will offer other voting groups specific tangibles. But in regards to the Descendants of slaves there is no specific agenda. This is because all Democratic candidates are told not to offer any specifics to Black Americans...its called Benign Neglect. And the interviewer knows exactly what Andrew Yang is doing, and what Andrew Yang as been told.

Basically, you can't fucking win. So all you can do is keep plugging away to get people onside.
dang this interviewer is a master race baiter x1000. Andrew Yang handled it well. The answer is simple. UBI 1000 in the hands of everyone and that should empower people especially blacks economically.
People will do what they want with the money. Some will become entrepreneurs, while others might pay down their debt burden.
With an extra $1k a month, people could afford higher rent in a nicer neighborhood. Getting out of the hood would make a world of difference to anyone.
@@rachelwilliams9686 Oh boy. The real estate and rental markets will explode overnight if anything like this actually gets done. You can't afford $1200 rent today? Get ready to pay $2500 rent tomorrow, because suddenly you're competing with about 500 other applicants who want that same rental who now have that $2500 to pay for it.
$1000 a month would mean that I know I can live and eat without having to deal with "the man" and his reasons or promises or motives at ALL! That's the most empowering thing I can think of!
@@flintwestwood5920 that's pure exaggeration and you know it. What will definitely happened is people will start to sprawl out to the suburbs and smaller towns the same time people are empowered to build small businesses.
It gets so uncomfortable when the guy subtly says, ‘yes but black people should get 1.5k a month in the spirit of reparations’
Supremacy is a non-starter no matter who it comes from
Andrew Yang is great and navigated so well
Spooky Boyy Reparations are owed. Estimates show that Black people have been historically robbed of over a trillion dollars of wealth.
Joseph O'Connor so have Latin American countries who’s entire resources of gold were used to colonize America and further conquest. If we talk about repearations, America, Spain, England, France all owe trillions to Latin American countries for the wealth and lives they’ve taken to build the world we know today. Many civilizations deserve reparations. African Americans were just done hard by Modern America.
David Lee easy to say stop caring about skin color when you’re white. Check your privilege.
I’m black and I hate how stuck on reparations black people are. America has so many issues right now and we need to start addressing those before we can even attempt to tackle reparations. Also, I personally think reparations were already given to us in the form of grants for inner city development over a span of decades. Where did all of that money go?? Into the pockets of NAACP board members most likely. You ask for reparations, and that’s most likely what will happen again. Groups like them are a joke and just as corrupt as the NRA. For the amount of hate they get, at least the NRA actually provides solid benefits for its owners. Can’t remember the last time the NAACP did anything for black people directly.
Can confirm. I live less than 10 minutes from Valley Stream and Elmont and it’s like two separate worlds to southside Queens near where I am. I live kind of in the area between both lol. The only people I see supporting reparations are black people with a chip on their shoulder, or well-meaning white people who don’t personally many black people and are constantly fed the “all blacks are poor because of whitey” spiel.
With at least $1K in your hands, you can pay your student loan payments. That would be a significant relief.
Yeah but student loans would probably scale with ubi.
@@14rick88 You are right, they don't. However the statement I made is still going to be true. Price gouging will occur at every level, from gasoline importing and exporting, to buying a pack of gum. If everyone had a basic income these things would be scaled to match the supply and demand.

Yeeat Meister yesss!
Why do you think the interviewer was a fool? I thought he asked the right questions
Finally, someone who is clear-minded, articulated and NOT a political hack... Good job Mr. Yang
Jesus christ the interviewer is salty. Cant he see that Yang is for EVERYONE? The solution is to unite America.
Technology is moving fast and we need a president that can move America ahead just as quickly.
American billionaires needs to keep the poor as possible. That's the only way they will keep their number 1 position up or Chinese and Indians will take them over. Lol
Yang literally has super exciting plans for everyone, and this interviewer fails too appreciate the gravity of it
Please don't ever use this interviewer again.
Why? Cause he’s black!? The interview is actually smooth
bruh did u watch the same vid?
no.
What was wrong with it? It seemed fine
For people saying this interviewer was good. Just switch the word black for white in the interview and change the interviewers skin color to white and you all would be losing your damn minds! This interviewer is a racist douche bag who can't see past the color of his own skin color!
Interviewer: It's nice that you're trying to help everyone but what are you going to do for people who specifically looked like me?
Yang: You know that you are part of everyone right?
Chris Hon for real we need to work together 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
His asking about closing the wage gap which not everyone is affected by
Interviewer can be a little cringy particularly when he denotes native Americans, Latinos ect , "not all suffering ethnicitys just black people" . That's not how we go forward man. Heal all those who need help. Period.
When white people say "everyone" they typically imply everyone except black people. So it's important to ask black centric questions.
@@TheDarkAdventure hes Asian though...
"scratch that, my kids are going to drink from the tap"
Everything you need to know about Andrew Yang.
yup. one of his kids is autistic so that's doubling hella down.
I cried when he said that, no joke.
That's just being a normal Asian parent
The interviewer is so close minded it's sad. All of his self pity and racism talk is incredibly cringy to listen to.
AGREED. Just seems like he is trying to act smarter than what he actually is
He's only focused on black people thats it.. not surprised.
Oyessss that language of self pity.
Nah, He’s just asking the hard questions that need the right answers. He isn’t acting smart, he is smart.
alexng4 I mean the interview is about how Yang would help black people. Don’t be dumb my dude.
I'm black and even I don't agree with reparations. Its not practical. Also, UBI helps EVERYONE.
All skinfolk ain't Kinfolk. It doesn't surprise me that people will vote against their own interest. One of the reasons why we will not get ahead if there is no Unity practiced holistically.
Reparations at best is impractical, I think it’s vastly more practical as Andrew Yang proposes to dig anybody who is in poverty out of poverty in the richest country in the world on doing the wrongs of our past isn’t really an option it would destroy this country and divide us even more than we already are. I think what a lot of people get mixed up is that somehow we owe all black Americans a lump sum of cash because their ancestors had it harder than some others and while that may be true in some cases it’s not for everyone and tracking it would be difficult and like Andrew said putting a number on it would be hardest. The problem is that blacks are disproportionately low income, the same can be said for ethnic backgrounds of other kinds but were focusing on blacks here... If poverty is the issue the freedom dividend could be the solution.
@@OpenTheWindow reparations are practical for Jews, Native Americans, Japanese but are always impractical for black people. I find it odd that this person is propped up by both parties as someone to help maintain the hierarchy of Black Americans as the perminant low wage consumer.
No reparations. No vote.
Open The Window lol it isn’t just “they had it hard”. Slaves quite literally built the WHITE HOUSE. They built this country and it’s economy. They didn’t profit from their own labor. Throw in years of Jim Crow, Red-Lining, and “War on Drugs”. These wrongs were never righted. There are still white americans TO THIS DAY who profit off the wealth built from those same slave owners.
Amazing how Yang does so well even with a poor interviewer. This guy is gonna be great for people of all races.

“TELL US ONE”
Yang: Proceeds to tell him one immediately
Put black dude in his place.
The interviewer wasn't that aggressive here though
greencase woah man. Your career is over if that comment is ever taken without context.
Desecration The black community, much to their chagrin, is not unique and therein lies the problem with your demands. The majority face 2 oppressions, oppression based on race and oppression based on class. Not all face class oppression because 54% of blacks live middle class or higher and 25% of the remaining 46% live working class in markets with the ability to move up into the middle class and higher which leaves only 21% who live in poverty vs the 11% of whites that do. Those that face both types of oppression are not unique in that every other minority (excluding lighter skinned Asian minorities) faces as much or more oppression. Hispanics and latinos outpace blacks in low education and housing options. Most outpace them in economic well-being. Native Americans tend be the most prejudiced against in any number of statistics and often get left out of racial statistics altogether if that tells you anything. We have a serious problem in America where it appears that if you’re a minority then your chances of reaching the white average are low and that’s a problem we should definitely address. There’s nothing but anecdotal evidence, however, to suggest that blacks face more than any other minority and their demand to get special treatment will only damage their image with the other minority’s which isn’t a situation they want to be in. Minorities should unite together to fight for fair treatment across the board, there’s no reason that your race should determine wether or not you’re more or less likely to be as well off as the average white person.
He didn’t say “TELL US ONE”. He was pretty inquisitive and soft spoken in that moment, bad example.
11:21 "Not "People of color," black people, let's stick to black people." The problem is that everyone has a different preference of terminology when describing race. Calm down.
It sounds like he doesn’t care about other minorities, and I don’t like the sound of that.
We describe ourselves and if you can’t get with it, you’re our enemy.
No the conversation was about reparations so that is relevant!
This guy is the reason white people hear "you want special treatment" when we say "we want equality" or "we want justice."
Johnny The Pencil Slayer It is a shame we can’t just say “Americans”, but until there is true equality there has to be talk about plans for specific pockets of the population. Although you and I may avoid divisive behavior and language, there are very real issues with division in this country that can be seen in issues like wealth inequality and police brutality. While I don’t love how the interviewer approached that conversation, the intent is justified.
“What makes you different from Bernie Sanders because both of y’all talk about giving everybody free stuff?”
This is such a poorly worded and poorly researched question. The answer is so apparent and it is a gross oversimplification of what each candidate wants to do. Also, this guy WANTS this free stuff.
What he doesn't realize it's that what Yang is proposing isn't free. We have paid dear costs for our place in America. We've lived our whole lives being in the 99% while the 1% control 90% of the country and its resources. It's not free, we've prepaid!
"we are all human beings, we have equal value" - who said this, Jesus? no a modern a politician, Andrew Yang.
Originally his people believed in the One G-d who eventually sent Himself in form of the Son and his family does attend church as Messianic believers/Christians. btw, his people are the ones who came up with the concept of abolition-- it's good that someone is keeping the human race accountable to G-d's principles.

I want Andrew Yang for president so bad that it makes me physically i'll to think he might not be.
I know your heart is in the right place, but that kind of uncompromising support is how Trump Derangement Syndrome gripped the nation (well, _some_ of it) after 2016. It would be really great if Yang won, but this campaign is more about raising his profile/getting people used to these ideas so we can hopefully move forward with them in the near future (God knows the current mainstream Dem candidates are too focused on gladhanding and paying hollow lip service to whatever issue their campaign managers decide will improve their polling results that day). In a field of NPC candidates, Yang is somehow capable of being a problem-solver who can express a sense of urgency without descending into blatant fear-mongering, and we need people (Congress included) to see that his ideas are the future, and that's where *we* are going--regardless of whether he wins or loses.

This guy's obsessed with race. I hope Yang doesn't end up biting into hyper-regressive identity politics. It'd be a quick way for Yang to lose all the libertarian-right support he's been getting.
I agree. I understand the interviewer is trying to get him to answer more on the black community, but their are other communities too. And a presidential candidate cant just focus his policies on a single community and nobody else. UBI is probably the closest, likely, and only solution for black reparations.
Vic black people are rhe most important base for the democrats you lose them you lose everything
Tyler Surratt its not about other communities its about specific problems that affect the black community specifically.
@@oneloveonebeing I perfectly understand you. I just think the reparation part is going to be extremely difficult to implement and the logistics is going to seem like a nightmare. For example. I am biracial (African American and White) do I qualify for a black reparation?
The Root is a black nationalist website so it makes sense that this interviewer was obsessed with race.
Andrew Yang played it well but the interview crossed the line many times
9:20
What line? The line where you have to take a stance and not dance around the question like every shitty politician ever? If Yang didn't have a clear position, he should of said that rather than being ashamed to answer it and dodging the questions by talking in circles.
True that @@Acoto
@@Acoto because saying "I don't want to give blacks more money for being black" is basically political suicide when the left is as far progressive as it is.
@@Localpref416 That's why nobody trusts politicians. We shouldn't have to guess a person's stance when asked a direct question.
Did he just ask the Asian man if he experienced racism?? I completely understand the question might be asked for general inquiry when we all know the answer, but...really?
Dudes like him only see the world in black and white. His entire life is devoted to seeing everything through the lens of race alone.
@@williamcleland2369 I am certain you cannot relate but for black people we are ONLY seen as our race not having the luxury of going through life as just a human being. We are often treated as less than every. single. other. race. That's just the reality. Not yours but it is ours. so I do believe the interviewer simply wanted to speak on issues that uniquely affect African Americans and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. The Black vote can in many cases be the deciding vote in the democratic primary. Andrew Yang knows this or he would not have wasted his time with this interview. In addition, this channel is after all The Root and is largely viewed by an African American audience so issues that concern the black community such as reparations will be discussed. Sorry not sorry. So yeah chill maybe? Try and broaden your horizons. Or not. Idc
That said I so appreciate that Andrew Yang attempts to meet everyone at their level, bringing compassion, understanding along with the facts and data to back up his proposals. The fact that he has managed to unite Trump supporters, undecided voters along with democrats and progressives alike really speaks to how powerful and needed his message is. "Not left not right but forward". America needs this man as president and he has my vote all the way. Yanggang2020! Let's go!

The interviewer seemed combative, lol. This is why the left keeps losing in this country. They nitpick and get disappointed with every candidate that isn't 110% aligned with their views. Yang has the right vision, is data oriented, and focused on real solutions, much more than any other candidate.
Andrew Yang 2020!
No he's tired of political BS without specific answers to address specific issues that may be unique to them. You might consider it picky but he wants to make sure the politician has thought through things about his people and this constituency.
@@hillsane9262 But Yang answers that his policies help disproportionately to less well off communities. That 1000 matters way more to people of all races who live paycheck to paycheck, he is for decriminalized marijuana and wants to pardon nonviolent marijuana drug charges, He is actively talking about dealing with opioid crisis. How much do you want from a guy on a thirty minute interview, when he has already done bunch.
He’s just a tough interviewer who asks critical questions, this should be a good thing because it keeps politicians on his toes. Yang did a great job answering him imo, as they say, adversity reveals greatness
he's obsessed with race(specifically black people)Andrew wants to help all Americans
I think he might be a homosexual. So that's why he's interviewing sounding sassy.lots of gay black men have that "bye Felicia" or "child please "attitude I can't explain it

Props to Yang. The Root is a really sketchy channel with racist overtones, and he navigated the interview well.
Overtones? The interviewers is blatantly racist, ignorant and condescending. They can't find jobs? No. They don't really try to find jobs.
“Systematically White Supremacists” while Yang is also a minority and a second generation immigrant and a self-made millionaire entrepreneur.

Additionally, how come Hispanics, immigrants, Asians, and white working-class and middle-class can all have programs and answers that are specific for and to them but black people always have to accept some kind of general answer?
Why can't black people have programs specific to them other than say we're going to do prison reform? Prison reform, that's about something that's specific and not applicable to a vast majority of that group of people even if it is disproportionately affecting those people.

He said "under-employment", which means not getting a job at the level of your education or skills.
@@jhaygood Not sure if Yang is pandering to college graduates, or he doesn't think experience matters.
This guy is a freaking genius..we need a critical thinker in the office
@@Corathor did you watch his interview on Joe Rogans podcast? He addresses some of those things that you highlighted
@@Corathor when I first heard about it, I thought it was a moronic idea but being a scientist, I always make my decisions after I hear the data and evidence backing up the policy and this guy has hard data and makes a lot of sense ... I am by no means a democrat and I would classify myself as a libertarian but Yang is making more sense than anyone else in the field
@@Corathor he also has plans on how to pay for everything he proposes, he doesn't say stupid shit like AOC in that these things pay for themselves.. I think you might be surprised after you listen to the podcast
Corathor Yea but the US policies such as welfare already do that. He would be replacing it with something better. Wealth redistribution is gonna happen, he just has a significantly better system
@@Larry-Lobster "Wealth redistribution is gonna happen" says who? And our welfare system can be improved, but the idea of a universal ubi is just stupid and will harm our entire country far more than it will help it.
I hope he becomes our president. So nice to listen to someone who sounds like a real human being.
Vote for him in the primaries and make it so.
Robert Morgan i agree man.We need change.
It is refreshing. He reminds me of JFK ...just a little.
Was gonna vote for Trump....but Yang got my vote now. Donated also...
I was going to vote Yang, until I dug deeper into his policies. Some scary stuff. I'm back with Trump.
@@Mr_Magoo_ ...really? Sources?
@@kaox44 Check the end of the Ben Shapiro interview. Yang wants to regulate social media and have the government determine the "truth".
@@Mr_Magoo_ ...and that's scary? LOL!
@@kaox44 Very! The government controlling speech and deciding the truth. Maybe in China or Cuba, but not in the USA.
The interviewer is way out of his league with Yang, poor guy
Yessss .this guy didn't sound that smart at all
His postures and body language is horribe
DDaniels3000 Agreed
that's cause the interview is some online blogger who only knows about black race politics and knows nothing actually intellectual
So because you don't like his line of questioning, which is relevant to only Black Americans and not so much to you, he's "out of his league"? No, he asked questions that matter to his community.
Ok yang, I see you
Wow this interviewer is part of the problem. Kudos to Andrew for sticking it out. Terrible interviewer use someone else next time
Rethinking GDP and economic value vs human value.
His handling of the Flint questions was very logical.
JOAT MON does anyone really think he or any president is going to do anything about Flint? That’s a state and local issue. He can make some calls but that’s about it.
I just saw this guy have a civil and productive with Ben Shapiro, now this! I think if Ben Shapiro were on the root it would cause an explosion somehow. To see Yang speak truthfully, not at all like a slimy politician, real genuine and honest, and have a good discussion here and with Ben! Damn! Just to stop the divisiveness in USA, this guy is the guy.
I love that he can talk about race in a reasnoable way where black, white and all the colours in between can hear it and say, ya that makes sense. This guy if fantastic!
Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang for President and VP!
Tom Kelly So Tulsi is the president and Yang for VP?
Interviewer is super awkward, but Yang remains solid.
The interviewer sounds like he's trying to "bait" Yang with mentioning race, race, race..specifically favoring "black people". Yang focuses on looking after ALL American people.
Yang answered all questions throughly. I'm very impressed.
I need to find out how to campaign for this guy.............
Facebook has a base camp
Dont. Dude Works for cilicone valley and wants to replace workers with robots. I am a truck driver, and this dude has no idea what he is talking about.
It's not that he wants or doesn't want to replace truckers with robots, he simply forsees the inevitable.
@@msqunhua he works for Silicon Valley. Fuck him. He knows nothing about truck driving
@@rocketfueloptions7831 Actually andrew does not know what he is talking about. I am a truck driver so i know andrew is speaking straight out of his ass.
Mr Yang Has Brought To The Table Something America
Has Been Missing In Our Politics COMMON SENSE.
If the US don't want him, we'll have him! We too are lacking in solid leadership. Yang is solid!
what country?
Who the hell decided this guy would be a good interviewer???
"Come on! Give black people money!!!"
the people in charge at The Root did. I'm not surprised.
Andrew yang met all of his 'give black people money' with yea, I'm giving every one money. 1000 a month. I was waiting for the interviewer to say well blacks should get more. Jfc
It's the root, what did you expect?
They're really beating that reparations drum right now. I don't get it. Well, I mean, I do, but still...
Yes give American Descendants of Slaves back our stolen wealth with interest UGTFOH
Great job andrew yang I think my black people can get very far if you was president of the U.S.A
@shinvergil777 one step at a time, brother. Best wishes.
@shinvergil777 fake Russian youtube account. Russian bot detected.
yEAH -- HE WANTS TO GIVE BLACKS $1000 WHILE GIVING EVERYONE ELSE THE SAME -- HOW WILL THAT HELP THE BLACK COMMUNITY?
HE STATED HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE SYSTEMIC RACISM COMES FROM --- THAT MEANS HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE LAWS OF THE LAND.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN TEASED --- HOWEVER, HE WAS ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICAL BASED IN HIS COMMUNITY.
HIS EDUCATION WAS NOT LIMITED NOR WAS HIS FAMILY HARASSED FOR LIVING THERE -- KIDS TALK ABOUT EACH OTHER -- THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE ACCEPTANCE BY THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
@@cubanindian "HE MAY HAVE BEEN TEASED --- HOWEVER, HE WAS ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICAL BASED IN HIS COMMUNITY." aren't we all if we go outside?
@@sleepless1587 HOW COME EUROS CAN'T GO BACK TO THEIR HOMELAND?
IF WHITE EUROPEANS WOULD GO BACK TO THEIR OWN LANDS --POLLUTIONS WOULD END, THE LAND WOULD GO BACK TO ITS NATURAL STATE -- AND PEOPLE WOULD LIVE ACCORDING TO THE LAND.
Are you that clueless about Euro/American History?
FYI:
1st -- The Euro/American is everywhere because this is his empire.
2nd -- The Colonial American White Rulers only recognized between 5 to 10 Indian Tribes they created. People that would follow their laws/regulations.
3rd. The wealth of Africa has been stolen, poisoned, destroyed -- much like every place the white man goes
4th. There were whole groups of Aboriginals in America -- brown skin with wooly hair, tall and muscular -- that is in the history books by eyewitnesses -- not the lie.
Not everyone with brown skin comes from Africa -- that is a lie the White man made up -- just as they created the white Jesus when they stole the Bible.
THIS IS MY LAND -- THE LAND OF MY ANCESTORS!
I like to see my preferred candidate pushed and questioned. If they can't handle the heat or criticism then they cant handle being President. It also shows that enough people are taking you seriously if people are looking deep enough into your platform to critique you.
100% agree!
I don't think any of the candidates could handle these questions. He's really come at him, but Yang is coming with the facts.
@@TheBongoJeff I would think an interview like this would be much harder than a town hall or even the actual dem debate. This person has as much time as they want to push back or bring up any topic they please whether Yang is prepped or not. At his upcoming CNN town hall they arent going to ask him follow ups. And at the debates we all know the other candidates are gonna bring up the same talking points. "How will we pay for this?" "Why does the alt-right support you?" "Why do you hate college?" Etc etc etc
Also when it comes to the actual democratic debates I'm not worried. When he was a senior in high school he was on a debate team that went to some sort of work championship in the UK. It may have been a long time ago, but I'm sure he can handle that pressure.
He agrees with ta nehisi coates??
Sorry, not getting my vote.
I thought that this was one of the best interviews of Andrew Yang. You can tell that he was out of his comfort zone on many thought provoking questions. It's obvious that Yang is a authentic human being and speaks from the heart. Wonderful interview!
