Andrew Yang on Universal Basic Income and Measuring Our Economic Health- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

“I'm not running for president because I fantasized about being president. I am running for President because I am an American and a parent, and I can see the country we are leaving for our children and it is not something I am willing to accept.”
-Andrew Yang

[northwoodstreker]

"I'm going to win or the other candidates will sound a lot like me." This is the positivity we need, win or lose Yang is good for America.

As much as I love Seth he hasn’t been taking Andrew Yang seriously. He’s more than just “fresh ideas”, he is the future of politics if we want progress.
“It’s not left, it’s not right, it’s forward” - Andrew Yang

I am a former Donald Trump supporter voting for Andrew Yang. Changed my registration from Republican to Democrat just so I can vote for him in the primary.

[brandonroberts]

Google Andrew Yang. He has more than 100+ common sense policies and is way more than just the UBI guy. I would vote for him even if the Freedom Dividend was taken off the table. Excited about his candidacy.

[tylerhaknuman]

The hardest working candidate on the campaign trail. Good luck Andrew Yang and the American.

[alexlatour]

The Freedom Dividend is the foundation on which we can build the future Yang envisions. Vote for this man!

[molemanns]

We need to elect the smart kid in class for once!

[TheRickay]

Y’all he really has a point. There’s been soooo many new self check out machines at Walmart and most stores in the last three years. We’re witnessing a prediction of the future through Andrew Yang. I’m not a supporter but I am listening and if he makes it best believe he has my vote.

[kongchang]

Finally a fair interview instead of mockery of his ideas

[katherineallen]

Looking forward to that first PowerPoint deck.

[kongkong]

now, there is a man who is running to bring important issues & ideas to the table instead of winning at all costs

[clairemadeinheaven]

"If this man can unite a Youtube comment section, he can unite the country."

[Yutubme]

Get this man in office ASAP. "I'll either win or other candidates are going to start sounding a lot like me"

[blakecohen]

It’s time people stop taking him as a joke ... he is here for the long haul! Yang 2020!

[LuisZunigaPRI]

Yang is all over the place! He's an incredible human being. Let's make him our next president

[fongwingsum]

Thank you, Seth, for inviting Yang on your show! Looking forward to President Yang 2020!

[cliffbolvin]

I'm Canadian and I thought Trump will win in 2020 for sure until I started seeing this guy. He's your best shot. #CanadiansforYang2020

It's interesting hearing people say Yang's plan takes away from "being an American", because "Americans work for their success, they don't take handouts" yet a majority of Americans struggle while trying their hardest for a system that is built against them. 1000/month is not enough for anyone to stop working and that's a fact, but it's enough to help out millions of people who legitimately need it. #Yang2020
