WANT SOMETHING ROUGHER AND MESSIER AND LESS WELL INFORMED?
I DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT.
>> WE HAVE TO MENTION THAT THERE
WAS ONLY ONE LAPEL PIN TONIGHT
THAT SAID "MATH."
AND IT BELONGED TO ANDREW YANG.
STANDING BY WITH CHRIS HAYES.
>> THANK YOU, BRIAN.
THERE WAS A LONG EXCHANGE
TONIGHT ON THE UNIVERSAL BASIC
INCOME AND AUTOMATION, WHICH HAS
BEEN SORT OF A CORE THEME OF
YOUR CAMPAIGN.
YOUR CAMPAIGN. YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT AUTOMATION,
BUT I’M NOT CONVINCED THAT THE
KIND OF APOCALYPSE YOU PAINT IS
REALLY COMING.
REALLY COMING. WE’VE HAD ALL KINDS OF
AUTOMATION REVOLUTIONS.
AUTOMATION REVOLUTIONS. HIGH SHOULD PEOPLE BE FOCUSING
ON THAT WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY
OTHER ISSUES AROUND THE
INSTITUTIONAL AND MINIMUM WAGE
AND LABOR UNIONS AND THE
STRENGTH OF WORKERS THAT SEEM
LIKE THEY’RE AS IMPORTANT AS
AUTOMATION.
AUTOMATION. >> WELL, YOU CERTAINLY SHOULDN’T
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE, M.I.T.,
McKENZIE BEAN ALL PREDICT THAT
BETWEEN 20 TO 30% OF AMERICAN
JOBS ARE GOING TO BE LOST TO
AUTOMATION OVER THE NEXT 10 TO
20 YEARS.
20 YEARS. IN OHIO AND MICHIGAN AND
WISCONSIN AND IOWA.
AND IF THAT LIST OF STATES
SOUNDS FAMILIAR, THOSE ARE THE
SAME STATES DONALD TRUMP NEEDED
TO WIN AND DID WIN.
THERE IS A STRAIGHT CONNECTION
BETWEEN INDUSTRIALIZATION AND
VOTING IN THAT AREA.
>> OBVIOUSLY DEMOCRATS I THINK
FEEL UNITED IN CONDEMNING DONALD
TRUMP, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I
THINK YOU’VE SEEN IS A CRITIQUE
THAT THE GUY DOESN’T KNOW WHAT
HE IS DOING, HE IS UNPREPARED
AND HE IS INSUFFICIENTLY
PREPARED AS WITH HIS RESUME TO
CONDUCT WORLD AFFAIRS.
WHEN SOMEONE THINKS, WELL,
ANDREW YANG IS GOING TO BE THE
PRESIDENT SITTING ON THE PHONE
WITH ERDOGAN, WHY SHOULD THEY
TRUST THAT YOU SHOULD BE THE
PERSON DOING THAT?
>> I THINK PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT
FOREIGN POLICY AND BEING
COMMANDER IN CHIEF OFTEN
REVOLVES AROUND YOUR JUDGMENT
AND LEADERSHIP, AND PEOPLE GET A
SENSE OF WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN
THAT CHAIR.
THAT CHAIR. >> BUT DOESN’T EXPERIENCE MATTER
TOO?
TOO? >> ANOTHER ASPECT OF WHAT’S
HAPPENING IN FOREIGN POLICY, AND
WE CAN SEE IT WITH RUSSIAN
HACKING OF OUR DEMOCRACY, THE
TRUE THREATS OF THE 21st CENTURY
INCLUDE CYBER SECURITY,
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, THINGS
THAT FRANKLY WE’RE GOING TO NEED
THE GOVERNMENT TO PLAY CATCH-UP
IN TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION.
