SEEN HAPPEN IN THE PAST. >> IT’S A PLEASURE TO GET YOUR
ANALYSIS.
ANALYSIS. JOINING ME FRESH OFF THE STAGE
IN CONCORD.
IN CONCORD. 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
AND THAT’S NOT WHY YOU’RE THERE
ANDREW.
ANDREW. YOU WERE THERE BECAUSE THERE
WERE IDEAS THAT CONTINUE TO
CAPTIVATE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GIVE
YOU AN ESTIMATION AND PUT YOU
HIGH ENOUGH IN THE POLLS.
WHAT WAS YOUR SENTIMENT?
BETWEEN THE FRONT RUNNERS.
>> TOO MANY FAMILIES AND PEOPLE
HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
THE COUNTRY. AND UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC
TRANSFORMATION OUR GOVERNMENT IS
DECADES BEHIND THE CURVE.
WE NEED TO SPEED UP.
WE NEED TO MAKE IT WORK FOR OUR
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. THAT WAS OUR MESSAGE LAST NIGHT
AND WE FELT LIKE IT HIT HOME.
>> BY THE WAY, THE PIN THAT
YOU’RE WEARING ON ONE SIDE IT’S
THE MATH, MAKE AMERICA THINK
HARDER.
HARDER. WHAT’S THE OTHER ONE.
>> WELL, THE OTHER ONE IS A
BUTTON SAYING THAT WE NEED TO
PROTECT WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHT WHICH IS IS THE PURPOSE OF
TODAY’S EVENT.
TODAY’S EVENT. IT WAS A PRIVILEGE TO ADDRESS SO
MANY ACTIVISTS TRYING TO PROTECT
WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
AROUND THE COUNTRY.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANDIDATES,
CERTAINLY WITH THE FRONT RUNNERS
THEY FALL INTO TWO BUCKETS.
I OFTEN THINK THAT YOU’RE IN A
DIFFERENT BUCKET AND THAT MIGHT
BE WHY PEOPLE ENJOY LISTENING TO
YOU.
YOU. YOU SORT OF HAVING -- HAVE A
DIFFERENT APPROACH.
DIFFERENT APPROACH. AND TO THE INVOLVEMENT THAT
WOMEN SHOULD HAVE IN THE ECONOMY
IT’S INTERESTING TO SEE THIS
ARTICLE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES
YESTERDAY ABOUT SOME OF YOUR
FORMER EMPLOYEES SAYING THAT
THEY’RE SEEING A DIFFERENT
ANDREW YANG THAN THEY DID WHEN
THEY WORKED FOR YOU.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAD A CHANCE
TO READ THIS ARTICLE BUT IT
SUGGESTS THAT AT A TIME WHEN
RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS YOU HAVE A
MORE CAVALIER USE OF RACIAL
STEREOTYPES ABOUT ASIAN
AMERICANS AND A LACK OF
ATTENTION TO CERTAIN ISSUES
AROUND WOMEN.
AROUND WOMEN. WHAT IS THE -- WHAT IS YOUR TAKE
ON THIS?
ON THIS? >> I HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY
FORTUNATE TO WORK WITH WOMEN
LEADERS AT EVERY LEVEL AND EVERY
ORGANIZATION AND THAT WILL BE
THE SAME IN MY ADMINISTRATION.
THAT’S THE WAY OUR COUNTRY NEEDS
TO COME TOGETHER.
I WAS ON THE DEBATE STAGE A
LITTLE WHILE AGO WHERE I SAID WE
NEED WOMEN LEADERS BECAUSE IF
YOU GET TOO MANY MEN ALONE FOR
TOO LONG WE BECOME MORONS.
>> LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR BASIC
PRINCIPLES THAT DON’T GET A LOT
OF AIR TIME BUT YOU TALK ABOUT
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH
IN THIS ECONOMY IN WHICH PEOPLE
FEEL SO DISAFFECTED.
AND WE’RE NOT PREPARED FOR THAT
BECAUSE WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH
THE LAST ROUND OF TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCEMENT.
ADVANCEMENT. >> THAT’S 100% RIGHT.
THE FACT IS DRIVING A TRUCK IS
THE MOST COMMON JOB IN 29 STATES
AND THERE’S ANOTHER 7 MILLION
AMERICANS WORKING AT TRUCK STOPS
AND MOTELS AND DINERS AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
COUNTRY. THAT’S ONE VERY OBVIOUS CHANGE
AND THERE’S MANY INOBVIOUS
CHANGES AROUND THE SCENES AT OUR
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS,
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, ACCOUNTING FIRMS.
ACCOUNTING FIRMS. I WAS A LAWYER FOR LONG ENOUGH
TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN AUTOMATE
AWAY A LOT OF PARALEGAL AND
LEGAL WORK.
LEGAL WORK. WE’RE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE
SCOPE AND THE RATE OF CHANGE
THAT’S GOING TO BE TWO TO THREE
TIMES MORE DISRUPTIVE THAN THE
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND THAT
INCLUDED MASS PROTESTS, THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL HIGH
SCHOOL.
SCHOOL. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO THINK
MUCH, MUCH BIGGER ABOUT WHAT THE
ECONOMY OF THE FUTURE LOOKS
LIKE.
LIKE. >> DO YOU THINK UNIVERSAL BASIC
INCOME IS A BASIS FOR A WAY IN
WHICH WE CAN BUILD ON THAT?
IS THAT GETTING TRACTION WITH
PEOPLE WITH WHOM YOU TALK?
>> IT IS.
>> IT IS. A MAJORITY OF IOWANS THINK IT’S
A GOOD IDEA.
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME IS THE
FUTURE.
FUTURE. WE HAVE TO START SEEING
OURSELVES AS HAVING INTRISIC
VALUE AND NOT LETTING EVERYONE
TELL US WHAT THE MARKET IS
WORTH.
WORTH. WE CAN ACTUALLY SAY WE HAVE WORK
INDEPENDENT OF WHAT THE MARKET
IS SAYING.
IS SAYING. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
I APPRECIATE IT.
>> ALWAYS.
