ALL RIGHT, BACK TO YOU, SHANNON.
>> Shannon: PETER DOOCY LIVE
IN THE SPIN ROOM.
MY NEXT GUEST, NOT GETTING
PERSONAL TONIGHT WHILE DEBATING
PAID FAMILY LEAVE, HERE'S A BIT
OF THAT.
>> WE NEED TO HAVE A FREEDOM
DIVIDEND FROM DAY ONE, $1,000 A
MONTH FOR EVERY AMERICAN ADULT
WHO CAN PUT MANY PLACES
TWODOLLARS A MONTH, SO THEY
CAN PAY FOR CHILD CARE, OR IF
THEY WANT, STAY HOME WITH A
CHILD.
WE SHOULD NOT BE PUSHING
EVERYONE TO LEAVE THEIR HOME AND
GO TO THE WORKFORCE.
>> Shannon: JOINED ME NOW,
2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
ANDREW YANG.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK ON
"FOX NEWS @ NIGHT."
>> HEY, SHANNON, GOOD TO BE BACK
FOR A THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME
PRAISE.
WHEN WE WERE WAITING TO HEAR
FROM YOU.
YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE THE STAGE.
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GETTING A
CHANCE TO BREAK THROUGH BECAUSE
THERE ARE A LOT OF BIG-NAME
CONTENDERS, AND IT TOOK A WHILE
TO HEAR FROM YOU TONIGHT.
>> [LAUGHS]
YEAH.
I'M HAPPY TO SAY, OUR MESSAGE IS
REACHING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN
WAYS BEYOND THE DEBATE WHERE WE
JUST KEEP ON RISING IN THE
POLLS, A TON OF ENERGY AROUND
THE CAMPAIGN.
WE RAISED $10 MILLION IN THE
LAST QUARTER.
INCREMENTS OF ONLY $30 EACH.
A VERY PEOPLE-POWERED,
GRASSROOTS-DRIVEN CAMPAIGN.
A DEBATE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
BUT WE ARE NOT JUST RESTING AT
THE DEBATE.
>> Shannon: RADIO TAKE IT FROM
HERE?
THE
NEXT DEBATE IS DECEMBER.
YOU ARE CRISSCROSSING THE
COUNTRY.
PLACE LIKE IOWA, NEW HAMPSHIRE,
WE ARE SEEING MAYOR PETE
BUTTIGIEG REALLY MAKING STRIKING
GAINS.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO GET
THAT DONE?
>> WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE
PROGRESS WE ARE SEEING ON THE
GROUND IN IOWA AND
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
I'M HEADING BACK TO IOWA AGAIN
LATER THIS WEEK.
THE CROWDS JUST KEEP GETTING
BIGGER, THE ENERGY JUST KEEPS
GETTING HIGHER, AND YOU WILL SEE
THE POLL NUMBERS RISE IN THOSE
DAYS AND THAT IS TO COME.
>> Shannon: OKAY, I WANT TO
READ SOMETHING FROM
"THE WASHINGTON POST" TALKING
ABOUT THAT YOU HAVE GOTTEN SO
MUCH ATTENTION ABOUT THIS IDEA
OF A FREEDOM DIVIDEND OR
WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO CALL
IT, ESSENTIALLY, EVERYONE 18 AND
OVER GETS A CERTAIN PAYMENT EACH
MONTH FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO
GIVE THEM A LITTLE MORE FREEDOM
WITH THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIFE AND
WHATEVER ELSE IS GOING ON WITH
THEM.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" TALKING
ABOUT THIS, IT SAYS "THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE SHOULD BE. FREEDOM
DIVIDEND WILL REMAIN THE KEY
FACTOR THAT HER BURRITOS THE
SAP -- SOMETHING I KNOW THE
NIXON ADMINISTRATION
ESSENTIALLY, THE PAYMENT, OTHERS
GETTING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING,
THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ASPECT OF
UNIVERSAL CASH GRANT, BREAKING
THE LINK BETWEEN WORK AND REWARD
IS ALSO THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL."
YOU CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THE
OBJECTIONS TO THAT CONCEPT.
>> THE GREAT THING, SHANNON, IF
EVERYONE IS GETTING IT COME WITH
THAT OBJECTION TENDS TO
DISAPPEAR.
THERE IS ONE STATE THAT IT HAD A
DIVIDEND FOR EVERYONE IN THE
STATE FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS, THAT
IS A DEEP RED CONSERVATIVE
STATE, ALASKA, WHERE EVERYONE
THERE IS GETTING AN OIL DIVIDEND
OF BETWEEN ONE AND $2,000 A
YEAR.
AS WILDLY POPULAR 40 YEARS IN.
WHAT I AM SEEING IS THAT
TECHNOLOGY IS THE OIL OF THE
21ST CENTURY AND WE CAN DO THIS
FOR ALL OF OUR PEOPLE
PARTICULARLY BECAUSE RIGHT NOW
THE MARKETPLACE IS NOT
RECOGNIZING THE KIND OF WORK
THAT MY WIFE DOES AT HOME WITH
OUR TWO BOYS EVERY SINGLE DAY OR
THE WORK THAT MILLIONS OF
STAY-AT-HOME PARENTS OR
CAREGIVERS ARE DOING THAT WE
KNOW IF SOME OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT WORK IN OUR FAMILIES
AND COMMUNITIES.
>> Shannon: YOU ALSO HAVE A
LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT AUTOMATED
AI, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THERE WAS A NEW REPORT OUT TODAY
THAT I SAW THAT WAS TALKING
ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT
JUST BLUE-COLLAR JOBS THAT NEED
TO BE WORRIED, ITS WHITE-COLLAR
JOBS THAT NEED TO BE WORRIED.
YOU CONTINUE TO RAISE THE
RED FLAG ABOUT THIS.
THERE ARE THE REPORTS SAYING IT
DOESN'T ACTUALLY LINE UP WITH
THE DATA.
SO YOUR WORRIES ARE OVERBLOWN.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND?
>> SHANNON, THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW
THE MOST ABOUT THIS SPACE ARE
THE MOST CONCERNED, WHERE AI IS
ABOUT TO LEAVE THE LAB AND START
RIPPING THROUGH VARIOUS
ORGANIZATIONS, I SPOKE TO 70
CEOs IN NEW YORK CITY AND I
ASKED THEM, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE
LOOKING AT HAVING AI REPLACE
YOUR BACK OFFICE CLERICAL
WORKERS?
ALL 70 HANDS WENT UP.
PEOPLE WHO ARE DEEP INTO THE
BUSINESS WORLD TO KNOW THAT
THESE CHANGES ARE GOING TO
AFFECT WHITE-COLLAR WORKERS,
LAWYERS, ACCOUNTANTS,
PHARMACISTS, RADIOLOGISTS, IT'S
NOT JUST DRIVERS AND WAREHOUSE
WORKERS AND RETAILER WORKERS AND
CALL CENTER WORKERS.
A LOT OF WHITE-COLLAR WORK IS
WHAT IS CALLED REPETITIVE
COGNITIVE WORK, AND IT'S GOING
TO BE SUBJECT TO DISPLACEMENT BY
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE
DAYS TO COME.
THAT IS ONE REASON WE DIVIDEND
SO WE HAVE TO MR. TRENT
TRANSITION THROUGH THE GREATEST
ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION
IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY.
>> Shannon: DO YOU THINK
AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GET ON
BOARD?
WE TALKED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF
WORK AND REPORTED HAVING A
CONNECTION, KNOWING THIS MONEY
IS COMING FROM TAXPAYER MONEY, A
LOT OF FOLKS ARE GOING OUT TO
WORK IN WORRIED ABOUT THEIR OWN
FAMILIES, THEIR OWN NEEDS, KNOW
THAT THEY ARE PAYING INTO
SOMETHING THAT WILL SUPPORT
SOMEONE ELSE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT
BE WORKING IN THE TRADITIONAL
SENSE, THEY ARE PROVIDING FOR
THEIR BASIC NEEDS THEMSELVES, IF
THEY ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO DO
SO.
>> AGAIN, SHANNON, EVERYBODY
GETS IT.
IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE I AM
PAYING INTO IT AND YOU WERE
GETTING AT.
WE ARE ALL GETTING AFRAID WHO
ARE THE BIGGEST WINNERS IN
TODAY'S ECONOMY?
WHO ARE
THE TRILLION DOLLARS TAX TECH
COMPANIES WHO ARE SUCKING HIM OR
MORE VALUE?
AMAZON, GOOGLE, THESE GIANT
COMPANIES THAT ARE PAYING NEAR
ZERO IN TAXES.
THAT IS WHERE WE WILL GET THE
MONEY TO PUT THESE DIVIDENDS
INTO OUR HANDS AND WHAT IT
ACTUALLY SPREAD THE BENEFITS OF
ALL OF THIS TECHNOLOGICAL AND
INNOVATION IN SOME PARTS OF THE
ECONOMY TO US, THE OWNERS AND
SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COUNTRY.
>> Shannon: YOU WILL HAVE SOME
CONVINCING TO DO, PEOPLE WHO
WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THAT IN THEIR
OWN FAMILIES, BUT THAT IS WHY
YOUR CAMPAIGN CONTINUES.
PEOPLE SEEM TO LOVE YOU.
YOU ARE ADDING A VERY DIFFERENT
ANGLE TO THESE CONVERSATIONS
