minimum income for all people and for all families of our country supporters

call themselves the yang gang they chant power point as rallies and wear ball

caps with MATH on the front for make America think harder. welcome Democratic

candidate for president Andrew Yang please welcome Andrew please join me in

welcoming Andrew Yang to the stage

what made you want to run for President? so imagine being the guy who's getting

medals from the White House for creating jobs around the country realizing that

your work is like pouring water into a bathtub that has a giant hole ripped in

the bottom I'm a parent I've got two young boys were six and three and I'm

not gonna bring them up in a country that's going to fall apart around them

we need to evolve as fast as possible I'm running for president because I'm

focused on solving the problem that got Donald Trump elected in the first place

in 2016 the reason he is our president today is that we automated away four

million manufacturing jobs we started with millions of manufacturing jobs and

now we're going to do the same thing to millions of retail jobs call center jobs

fast-food jobs we're in the midst of the greatest

economic greatest economic and technological transformation in the

history of the world what experts are calling the fourth Industrial Revolution

fourth Industrial Revolution the stuff that got Donald Trump into office is

just going to accelerate capitalism right now has become this

winner-take-all economy if we continue just to see ourselves as inputs into the

giant capital efficiency machine we lose we need to make this economy work for us

because if the economy doesn't work for us what's the point

instead of using GDP and capital efficiency we should be using things

like how our kids are doing our own mental health and freedom from substance

abuse average income and affordability clean air and clean water and then use

those as the actual measurements of economic progress the slogan for my

campaign is humanity first we're all human beings we all have equal value and

we need to start acting like that yeah Democratic presidential candidate Andrew

yang wants to change the way we think as a society he's put some ideas on the

table that most politicians have not wanted to talk about he's really been

campaigning on a platform of ideas only person talking about all these creative

solutions you actually thought you could get somewhere with us well I was

apparently correct

so what I ask for you all tonight is for you to take this new vision of the

economy this trickle up economy this human centered economy this vision and

make it yours

yang does beat Trump it's like a game of rock-paper-scissors and if Donald

Trump's the scissors I'm the fucking rock
