Andrew Yang, co-chair of the Forward Party, ran for president in 2020 on the idea of giving every American $1,000 a month. He joins Meet the Press Reports to discuss why many workers still don’t make enough to get by today.

Notting should b giving u have to work for it that’s one of the problems in this country they want everything free or cheap and not work for it no free money period create more opportunities for ppl to work n make money
Huge fan!! Wish policy makers would really sit down with him. Our country needs a real reboot and actual SOLUTIONS ❗️
the only way base income works is with least people there is not enough to go around as it -at least with what scraps that are left under the table.
At 7:51 No, there won't be more jobs in 30 years.. If we keep clinging to the status quo. The only way we end up with "more jobs" is if we change what a job is. Most things businesses used to pay humans for, will be done by AI and robots in 30 years. The economy won't "value" human workers the same way. The only thing humans will be good for, is community & family stuff, and building personal reputation. IF we change things, to consider tasks like gardening a "job", or caring for aging family members, or even going back to school to learn new skills.. Then we'll have plenty of "new jobs".. But if we cling to the old status quo, and keep viewing other people as "lazy".. Then we'll end up with everyone struggling.
AMERICA'S WAY OF THINKING ABOUT THE WORKERS THAT HAVE MADE THEIR WEALTH IS CRAZY! THE WAY THAT AMERICANS PUT UP WITH IT IS WILDER!!! WE ARE SO EASY TO BE PERSUADED. WE NEED TO BE MORE EDUCATED ON NEGOTIATING OTHER THAN JUST "RIGHTS" BUT OUR VALUE TO THE EMPLOYERS STANDARD OF LIFE. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND NOT STAYS THE SAME BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WITH WEALTH MINDS CHANGES ALSO. IF WE KEEP DOING THE SAME THINGS, WE GET THE SAME RESULTS. WEALTH ACQUIRED KNOWS IT SHORT LIVED. GET IN GET OUT. I INHERITED WEALTH IS LONGER STANDING. MONEY IS LIFE CRABS IN A BUCKET. STEPPING OVER OTHERS TO GET TO THE TOP. LAWS TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD DO BUT PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT THEY ARE GONNA DO. IF WE SEE OUR BROTHERS HUNGRY AND DESTITUTE AND FEEL NOTHING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. QUALITY OF LIFE, DREAMS, EDUCATION, PROVISION FOR FAMILY, PRIDE OF FAMILY CAN SEEM HOPELESS. CHANGE THE VISION. KEEP HOPE ALIVE. CRIME GOES DOWN, CREATIVITY IS REVIVED, HOPE AND DREAMS REPLACE DEPRESSION. DIGNITY IN OWNERSHIP. IN THE PYRAMID OF LIFE ITS THOSE AT THE BOTTOM HOLDING EVERYTHING UP. A WEAK FOUNDATION MAKES A BUILDING CRUMBLE. CHEAP MATERIALS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE BEST. DELEGATION TO AUTHORITY DOES NOT MEAN QUALIFICATION. EDUCATION IS VERY VALUABLE BUT COMMON SENSE IS FREE. EVEN THE MOST EDUCATED CAN BUY IT.
If Yang really cares about poor people he would have bowed out of the 2020 Democratic primaries and then ask his brainwashed supporters to back Bernie Sanders instead of Corporate Democratic Republican Old Joe Biden.
Love this guy
Just another ceo trying to force up profits.
👂 Wang run again because you spoke truth 👍
UBI now!
once AI becomes a dominant worker-replacement in this country, we'll need a guaranteed income.
Yang should be King 😎
I'd vote for Mr Yang, even though I am not really okay with Asians.
If corporations actually paid enough for people to live on, there would be fewer people on food stamps, less homeless, more people having children and less crime. I mean baby food and over the counter medicine is among the most stolen items in America. But Republicans work for the wealthy and not the people
If you work at McDonald's and work 40 hours a week, you should be a millionaire!
So true wang for prez
Impeach Biden
LIES
KEEP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS – WE WILL ALL BE POOR
#YANGGANG!!!
His perspective is one the US needs
When a living wage exceeds $80k, the problem is corporate greed!
They shouldn't but most people don't know how to budget or they waste their money on useless things and refuse to learn a skill for a salary paying job that would bring them out of poverty
Please don’t forget about us Andrew Yang!!!! Keep fighting for the UBI !!!!
This guy is a super simp, yangs wife cried over a cartoon
1:38 This is not true. These payments were discontinued immediately because inflation got kicked off due to free cash being pumped into the economy. The government tried to hold out as long as possible even claimed that inflation was only transitory, but it continued to get worse so that had to put the brakes on it eventually.
Where is the $1000 a month per person coming from without coming from the taxpayer?
roll this out through the VA
Communists mentality
I would love to see Andrew Yang and Bishop WIlliam Barber work together, with Dr. Cornel West to campaign on this issue.
Andrew yang is a momma boy
In 2023, 100k is middle class now
We need more people like Andrew Yang in powerful positions in government. He's right, our government is dysfunctional. MAGA Republicans have certainly worsened it!
Thats how its done in China and Russia. Go there.
If you have to worry about money you need to vote democratic it's crazy to me why anyone would vote republican after everything their literally the party of the kkk Sadly you have racist white people racist Indians racist asian LGBT who would rather vote for republican who will take away their rights and benefits instead of help them with affordable housing, education,food, living wage ECT it's no different than those in Florida who voted for desantis despite being Hispanic then had the nerves to ask black and other people to unite with them so we can fight desantis when they voted him in on the first place you have racist old white people who voted for republican while the people who they voted in are fighting to get rid of SSI SSDI medicaid meal's on wheels ect if it weren't for the majority black democratic votes and some LGBT votes this country would be red it's crazy to me how Hispanics Asians and natives can vote republican then get confused when racism comes for them
