He's too good to do interviews with these talking heads. But alot of Americans still watch these shows unfortunately. She tried desperately to discredit him.

[estebanpereira]

Smartest candidate out there and needs to be taken much more seriously by the media!

[matthewlake]

Andrew Yang is super smart and deserves more time to explain his ideas. If you want to radically change the system, you're gonna need longer than a few seconds to explain it. Bring him back for a more in-depth interview, please... UBI and how it affects the economy and people cannot be explained in just a few seconds.

[brianasantana]

We have to keep on pushing until Yang gets the respect he deserves. Unbelievable

[dreamdiscounts]

They tried real hard to corner him but he is too smart for msm.

[jayjay]

He has added 200, 000 new twitter followers since the last debate. He’s picking up steam. Once more people hear of him, he will be unstoppable

She needs to learn to listen, not just wait for her turn to speak...

[whiskey.tango.foxtrot.]

I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt but several things make that impossible.

1) the disdain on her face during the interview,
2) the mischaracterization of his policies,

3) lack of journalistic integrity,
4) poor interviewing skills

First candidate in my lifetime I actually want to vote FOR.

[xxjswagxx]

yang2020.com she interrupted a lot and didn't let him explain his ideas. go and do some research and watch the Joe Rogan or h3h3 podcast.

[twistingquint]

Somebody with manner let you finish your sentence, people like this interviewer have no manner. A short interview like this does not do justice for this man policies. UBI, data as property rights, embrace blockchain technology and many more are on his site at Yang2020.com . We cannot have these grandparents who dont understand how the GPS works to run our country, if we want a strong country we need a tech savvy person and Yang is the only one right now that fit the criteria.

[OreoSponge]

Wow she really came off as combative and dismissive. I really feel MSM fails to grasp the scope of the YangGang.

[mic]

Wow, rude and clueless. Unfortunately, she is what most voters over 55 will be listening to . Not just the words but the dismissive body language overall.

[consensusg]

This interview was a battle, and Yang won. Nice try CBS.

[scottgreg]

Upvoted because Yang was on. But the interviewer was wrong about Saudi Arabia having UBI, clearly didn't do her research. Yang is the candidate with the most transformational platform and clearly deserves better than this.

[krisplayspiano]

Brennan's attempt at using Saudi Arabia as an example of UBI got me to chuckle. 15k ppl there with royal blood get a check, and there's a huge amount of make-work federal jobs. None of that is even close to what UBI is.

[elovaughnelwell]

Am I the only one that thinks this host is kinda rude?

[harmonyolivia]

Never not enough time on air for Andrew. Everyone is trying to tear him down, but they can try all they want.

[montychambliss]

I swear mainstream media like Face the Nation and media on NBC is pathetic and a waste of money

[meluvYT]

Main stream media should stop promoting the candidates they want as the next president and give Andrew Yang more time and opportunity to explain his ideas
