So, who is Andrew Yang...
-
other than the man debate moderators turn to
-
when they're sick of being yelled at by Bernie?
-
It turns out he's got a pretty interesting story.
-
NEWSMAN: His parents immigrated from Taiwan.
-
His father, a physicist.
-
His mother has a master's in math and statistics.
-
Yang grew up in Schenectady, New York.
-
YANG: I was a very nerdy Chinese kid.
-
Played piano and had braces.
-
NEWSMAN: He studied economics and political science
-
at Brown, and went to law school at Columbia.
-
NEWSWOMAN: Yang made millions helping Americans study harder
-
for standardized tests
-
as CEO of Manhattan Prep.
-
He then founded Venture for America,
-
an organization helping entrepreneurs create jobs
-
in cities like Baltimore and Detroit,
-
and Yang says it helped push him into politics.
-
He was named a presidential ambassador
-
of entrepreneurship by the Obama administration,
-
and a champion of change.
-
Okay, wait. What?
-
I didn't know that.
-
Yang was Obama's ambassador of entrepreneurship.
-
I didn't know that.
-
Like, why does he never talk about that at the debates?
-
Yeah. 'Cause if you have anything to do with Obama,
-
you got to bring that shit up every time you get a chance.
-
Every other candidate does it.
-
I was his vice president.
-
I worked in his cabinet.
-
If you squint, I kind of look like him.
-
(laughter)
-
So Andrew Yang is a lawyer
-
who made millions of dollars as an entrepreneur.
-
But what got his presidential campaign noticed
-
was not how much money he has,
-
but how much money he was willing to give away.
-
NARRATOR: He announced in 2017.
-
That barely moved the needle.
-
Then he went on The Joe Rogan Experience
-
in February of 2019.
-
He talked about his Universal Basic Income plan,
-
which would give every American citizen
-
a thousand dollars a month,
-
and suddenly the mentions of him skyrocketed.
-
Tonight, free money for every American adult
-
for every month, no strings attached.
-
Presidential candidate Andrew Yang's big idea:
-
Give every American adult a thousand dollars a month.
-
If you've heard anything about me and my campaign,
-
you've heard something like this:
-
There's an Asian man running for president
-
who wants to give everyone $1,000 a month.
-
Yes. When Andrew Yang started running for president,
-
no one cared, but then when they found out
-
he was gonna give out free money,
-
all of a sudden, everyone knew his name.
-
And that's the magic of money.
-
It brings people out of the woodwork.
-
Yeah. Everyone. Yeah.
-
You win the lottery, you'll get family you didn't know existed.
-
In fact, next time there's an earthquake emergency,
-
right, the personnel should just walk around the rubble, like,
-
"I'm giving away free cash!"
-
People will dig themselves out of the rubble, like,
-
"Did someone say free cash?"
-
So, under Universal Basic Income,
-
or, as Andrew Yang calls it, the Freedom Dividend,
-
his proposal is that every single American
-
over the age of 18 would receive a check
-
for a thousand dollars every month.
-
No strings attached. Every American.
-
Even Bill Gates. Yeah.
-
And, like, what is Bill Gates gonna do with a check
-
for a thousand dollars? Just be like,
-
"Great. I can dip this in water and use it as a wet nap.
-
Thank you, U.S. government. Thank you."
-
So that's the policy that made Andrew Yang famous.
-
And it turns out, there's a lot more where that came from.
-
NARRATOR: No other Democratic candidate
-
has more policy stances on their website than Yang.
-
From core issues like the Freedom Dividend
-
to more obscure ones targeting airlines and robocalling.
-
Some of his other policy proposals:
-
Medicare for all, gun safety,
-
and even free marriage counseling for all.
-
TV REPORTER: Yang says that he would pardon
-
every prison inmate convicted
-
of non-violent marijuana offenses if he gets elected.
-
And Andrew Yang says if he were elected,
-
he would promote transparency
-
by declassifying information
-
about Air Force Area 51.
-
So if I become privy to information
-
about aliens or Area 51
-
or anything that I am able to share,
-
I will share it.
-
Ah, okay.
-
That's super exciting.
-
If Andrew Yang becomes president,
-
he's gonna tell all of us what's in Area 51?
-
-That is so dope. -(whooping)
-
That is so dope, because we get to learn about aliens
-
and Rudy Giuliani gets to meet his family.
-
Wow!
-
Everybody wins.
-
So that's Andrew Yang.
-
A businessman turned politician
-
who wants to show us the money and the aliens.
-
Oh, and there's one other thing you should know about him.
-
He's probably gonna spend his $1,000 a month
-
on the swear jar.
-
Donald Trump's the scissors, I'm the (bleep) rock.
-
There's a lot of bullshit around it, too.
-
I call bullshit!
-
And I should really (bleep) do it.
-
That's right, I did some (bleep) math!
-
(bleep). Shit. (bleep).
-
Challenge (bleep) accepted.
-
You are getting (bleep).
-
And so, because you're getting (bleep),
-
you're just like, "Hey, I don't want to care."
-
And I want to undo that.
-
I want to un(bleep) you.
-
And so, if you want to help me un(bleep) you,
-
then, like, vote me into office.
-
What?
-
I want to un(bleep) you?
-
I got to say, that's a weird presidential pitch.
-
But it would make a really original R & B song, you know?
-
Just like, ♪ If I had known your bed ♪
-
♪ Was a mattress on the ground, boy ♪
-
♪ Oh, I want to un(bleep) you. ♪
-
But, yeah, it turns out Andrew Yang
-
doesn't just have tons of policies,
-
he has a ton of curse words.
-
And you know what?
-
That could actually be the key
-
to getting him more attention at these debates.
-
Yeah, think about it.
-
Trump didn't get onstage
-
and release a bunch of policy papers.
-
No, he went up there, and he said...
-
he said he had a big penis, and if Americans voted for him,
-
the rest of us would have big penises, too,
-
and Mexico would pay for them.
-
So, Andrew Yang, if you want more media attention,
-
you got to take it, man.
-
The next time you get up on that stage,
-
make your six minutes count.
-
Just come out onstage and be like,
-
"Elect me, and I'll make it rain every mother(bleep) month!
-
"Universal basic income
-
"for all you universal basic bitches!
-
"This shit's gonna work, and you can trust my ass
-
'cause I rolled with Barack mother(bleep) Obama."
