This is my third time watching this and I noticed Andrew Yang's policies are getting talked about and non of Pete's. Bill Maher is getting blown away and his ideologies and beliefs are being challenged....
@Sagess Aries He tried for a minute there with the "won't we all become poor due to inflation" bit. It's totally understandable why someone might believe that intuitively, but he just seems completely uninterested in reevaluating whether the facts align with his opinions, or even accepting the possibility that other opinions aren't automatically wrong.
Jolevi ok sure keep letting people die in the droves from covid.just cause the bad effects don’t affect you yet don’t mean it’s ok to not kick out the monster stomping on your neighbours houses.
Great for Andrew to talk to Pete again. I really don’t like bill maher anymore. He doesn’t bother to do homework for what he says and it’s just become another of a non constructive spin show. But I appreciate that Andrew has another platform talk. Andrew also did quite well carrying his ideas despite bill mahers crazy train of thought and unexpected jabs
People are lazy like that. Stuck in their own ideologies and beliefs not realizing that their ideologies and beliefs makes them lost. Pragmatism out the window...
Yang makes a point that needs to be taken less metaphorically. He says that UBI should be like the oil dividend thats given to alaskans or norwiegians, because dta is the oil of the future. Well, its more like the oil of the present. He should remarket UBI as the "data surveillance dividend." If youve been keeping up with the new scholarship surrounding "surveillance capitalism" or "platform capitalism" you understand that the majority of the value the underpins the massive profits of the tech sector now come from the extraction of behavioral surplus via data extraction (not the data you "provide", but the data they steal and extract). This is the resource that they use to feed the deep and machine learning algorithms that will make advanced AI possible (which you know if youve studied the history and failures of computational AI vs the new data-driven programs). These companies are mining the lives of millions (or even billions) of unsuspecting people to create the algorithmic models that further ensure their ensnarement in the networks of behavioral capture. If this is allowed, we should be provided a "data surveillance dividend" (if we CHOOSE to continue to allow it to happen) for the resource that we provide. Without this resource that we unsuspectingly provide(which doesnt require us to discontinue use of their products btw), the profits of these companies would diminish significantly. Furthermore, all of the machinic systems that they are continuing to develop (no matter what technical feats they want you to believe they are making with their mighty brains, NONE OF IT WORKS WITHOUT YOUR STOLEN DATA) that will make you lives even more problematic (for so many reasons I wont go into here) will be more difficult to so quickly and unreflectively develop. We have a lot to think about. Cheers!
To say poverty decreased in America defies reality; millions are unemployed, lining up @ food banks/will soon be without shelter but >170k dead won't require resources. Calling this duplicitous political ploy a Middle-East Peace Treaty doesn' bring peace to the region. Do we still have troops in Afghanistan/Iraq, do we have troops in Arabia? Are we selling weapons to MBS to bomb Yemen despite a Congressional ban? What agreement resolved the Palestinian/Israeli dispute? Trump played the same game when Netanyahu was in danger of losing his bid for re-election. A real-estate developer should know, granting disputed land when you lack jurisdiction is unlawful, e.g.Jerusalem/the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu is committed to building settlements in the West Bank; the Israeli/UAE agreement is contingent upon not building new settlements. Netanyahu agreed to a temporary halt only, not a permanent ban; let's see what happens after the election/building resumes.
Yang/??? ‘24. No Buttigieg as the lead on the ticket. Yang for POTUS. Let’s start putting the smart person in FRONT for a change. The U.S. has had 4 years of an imbecile. Let’s make America smart again and elect someone in 2024 who has more than the same old political BS to offer.
@@tvdavis I'm saying that at 21:06 he says "we made a pact" - And I'm guessing by that he means that they're making a deal that if Yang gets the nomination, then Buttigieg is on his ticket, and if Buttigieg gets the nomination, then Yang is on his ticket. That's just my guess.
You watch, Republicans will be for UBI and National health care in half a generation. Why wouldn’t you want a healthy population that’s more productive? How much gdp is wasted on people spending so much energy worrying about the light bill or what I’m I going to feed my kids this weekend before I get paid Monday.
I think you're giving credit to Trump when you should be giving credit to Elon Musk... because of Elon Musk the price of oil and the demand is going down and they want these relations so they can keep the supply up and keep people on oil... It is their biggest market more people in oil the better...
I can tell you something you've never heard before. I've lived in Southern California for more than 30+ years and I have never seen this many tents up for a Red President EVER. Call them the loud minority but it is really showing out there that Trump is all over California. Anybody else seeing this in other states or even other parts of California? If so, is this the consensus? How much of this state is Red vs Blue. Things have definitely changed.
I'm still YANG2020, and YANG2024 all the way. Andrew Yang is the true LEADER even if not in office! He has been right all along and always will be, way ahead of his time!
Great excerpt from Andrew’s conversation with Ben Shapiro, and the ensuing amazement of unity in the comment section of that conversation on Bens Sunday special!
Look at Andrew, champing at the bit, he has amazing ideas by the score, he has the intelligence and vision to really change things, and is equally comfortable on Maher's show, PBS or Fox News because he isn't an ideologue, hope he runs again!
lets get working for 2024- the yang gang did amazing to get a non politician unknown person to all the debates and breaking 5%+ and now we have 4 years to promote yang (Keep them yard signs up!!!)
Imagine when people talk about diversity; that it's ultimately about ideas, perspective, and experience. It should just be a given that all people have an opportunity. If people aren't empowered and have an opportunity to grow... they're just zombies consuming to fill a void. We need to get out of this state of fear and scarcity mindset. The media is all about peddling fear... and the economy is built around what?
Just had someone say to me a few days ago that the CARES act should have monthly distributions to get people through the crisis. I said: “OK, remember when I was telling you about Andrew Yang, and UBI, and automation, and you thought it was BS? UBI would be saving your butt right now.”
@Andrew Yang Keep fighting for us. And that you. And you are absolutely right about the old ways turning more towards technology. We have to move ahead
As a moderate who leans more right than left. I wanted Yang so bad to win the nomination especially after hearing his podcast with Ben Shapiro. This man can help fix some of America’s major issues. Yang Gang 2024!
@Lucas Wang way too conservative. "But but how will we pay for printed money...but but..." he's turned into an old boomer IMO. That is way too conservative for what we NEED.
The question about why the working class aren't fully behind the Dems & AY's answer was spot on. The Dems no longer represent the working class and the poor. Until we actually have a party that truly represents the struggling, down trodden, nothing will change. The Dems and Reps are 2 sides of the same coin. Heads or tails, we lose.
I never liked Pete during the primaries, but I also only saw him on the debate stage or mentioned on twitter. I agreed with every single on of his points during this interview. Just goes to show how ineffective the debate format is at showcasing both policy and intelligence.
Pete gives me a very similar vibe to 2016 Hillary, where every word coming out of his mouth was signed off by a panel of a two dozen people and rehearsed over and over. All the ideas and words sound right, but it comes off as very emotionally detached and robotic which puts off voters. He is smiling and nodding whether he's talking about something hopeful or sad, which makes it seem like the words have no actual attachment to his feelings and that he's just saying whatever market research and big donors have instructed him to. I don't know enough about him to know if this is reality or perception, but I can't imagine I'm the only one who perceives it that way.
Please implement a permanent UBI now! Then we can transition to a RBE. Also support the Money Free Party and The Venus Project so we can finally go beyond politics poverty and war. That is if we wish to make it as a species.
this all sounds good. but what have you done to actually allow these things to happen? I donated 6 grand cold hard cash in andrews run and over 40 hours of time in california as part of the street team in sf and la.
It's always funny to hear talking heads act like the democrats are "too far left" on anything when it seems like they're collectively afraid to even breathe the words "universal healthcare." I'm glad that you rejected the premise of his question about the DNC being too far left.
SageWaterDragon at this point bill Maher doesn’t want to lose viewers and he thinks he has conservative fans so he doesn’t really try to understand the policies and instead says things like this to pander to conservatives
I'm Canadian and every time I see Andrew Yang I click. Hopefully the US wakes up in 2024 and Andrew is still interested in the job. I wish we had a politician like Yang.
Pete decrying Fed presence in Oregon makes me lose respect for him all over again. That's why the dems can't "close the gap" (in Maher's words, but he meant 'widen'). They're just as much disingenuous liars as the opposition.
There is always this underlying awkwardness I feel when Pete and Andrew are together because all of us Yang supporters shredded Pete during the primaries all over social media. Lol. But I feel like there is an a big overlap in the Venn Diagram between Pete and Yang supporters. They need a coalition. We just need Pete to get fully on board with the UBI idea.
If we did away with the electoral college without some sort of measure to represent states equitably, the popular vote would mean cities carry most of the weight. People in states like rhode island probably wouldn’t even care to vote because of how little it would matter in comparison to what we have now. Also interesting to note is that big cities are usually Blue. You’ll need to address these factors honestly, meaningfully, and with compromise if you hope to do away with the electoral college.
God Mahr is such an insufferable interviewer, so much wasted potential. He asks so many loaded questions seemingly out of nowhere that are just his opinion on some issue followed by "right?" and it just breaks the entire flow of the interview. I have nothing against playing hardball and asking tough questions, but you're supposed to do that with things the interviewee is saying, not whatever idea happens to be bouncing around your skull at that moment. I will say you two did a great job dealing with it and not falling into his trap of agree or argue.
It's not about wishing Biden luck. It's about personally joining the efforts to rebuild America. If Bill Maher thinks "wishing luck" thoughts & prayer is enough then he's part of the problem
I think the problem of most American Politicians is, that they are still stuck on their 20th Century way of life, and likes to keep the status quo, on policy, and yes Andrew Yang is new, Young, & Asian, and America is NOT ready for that yet, and that is sad, because you need new blood of innovation, swagger, and creative ideas in this 2st century.
Yang went from bridging the party gap by explaining why Trump was elected, to saying we have to get Trump out before becoming capable of problem solving. It’s becoming harder and harder to be fully behind him, as much as he’s still a breath of fresh air.
Bill Maher looked extremely uncomfortable when asking about Qanon. He can’t even look into the camera while addressing it. Not trying to create any conspiracies but it’s kind of weird. 17:54 Mark is where it gets dark.
