it probably will also get a ton of people to sign up for Yang’s email list and to visit his website even if they’ve never really thought about him, so it was actually pretty clever.
He did it last time too with the zip code thing.
I see a ton of people here for whats his name.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥TRUMP 2020💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Mike Smith #MayTheBestManWin!
exactly, his proposal to give the freedom dividend to 10 families is his way of getting media coverage since corp media doesn’t give him fair treatment.
That was a great exchange, awesome….
@Some Guy Comments like yours and most other Trump supporters push me even further away from Trump and help ensure I’ll be voting straight Democrat in 2020. They’re so disrespectful and oblivious to the facts that I know my values and ideals will never match theirs nor their preferred candidate.
Actually it was pathetic
@B Bodziak is that your best attempt at blackmailing white America? Any traditional white person, who knows what there is to know, is aware of the current state of our nation and doesmt care for Trump. Hes a shill. Hell, alot of us are voting democrat this election as well, as a matter of fact. True patriots know the only way to get our country back is to accelerate its decline and wait for them to inevitably come for our guns. Better to face it now while westill have to the numbers to fight back. So you vote democrat. I’ll be joining you.
I agree, Linda. A fair interview where Yang was allowed to address real questions people might have for him, minus all the BS filler some other interviews throw out there. This one was solid.
Linda Sante cuomo was baiting him the whole time youre delusional 😂😂😂
Are Cuomo & Yang a possible new bromance? Haha
Cum catchers
Fredo and wang = TRUE LOVE
@Harper Leo it’s called a script
you mean Lovers! HaHaHa
Yang was robbed of time again, 6th place in polling got half as much time as Booker who’s at less than 2%.
Eric Killebrew somehow I don’t think that’s going to hurt him one bit. Look at how fast the gang is growing! And I just also want to say as far as I’m concerned Count me in! I hope I’m chosen as one of the winners of the freedom dividend because I could definitely use it! If you haven’t already done so you should enter on his website for chance to win and also tweet to him
Yang did get asked back to back questions in one go
Like someone said amazon is messed the market up with stores are closing that’s not good
He has one idea and it’s a good idea. He got plenty of time to time to sell his one idea. I like his one idea. And I think that one of the viable candidates should adopt it. But we shouldn’t expect this guy to have the same time at the debate. He has less to say.
What was up with that weird shot at the MATH acronym???
It was actually a self deprecating joke, but I totally see how you interpreted it that way. Cuomo was intending to imply that he, and America, are gonna need a lot of help to learn to think harder.
@SJNaka101Yep exactly like SJN said. I interpreted like OP at first, but with Cuomo’s tone, you realize it was a self depracting joke.
edited: wording
@ChalensKy with all due respect to your opinion, I think it was a good, responsible dig. Sometimes such digs are useful to make a candidate not take anything for granted and sound their message out loud. Especially cause the final outcome depends heavily on older voters in the Midwest and Rust Belt and so on..
Actually it gave Andrew a chance to remind the American people, nicely done

Hooters.._.._.._.._.Yang 2020!
Just gotta say the way Yang unites YouTube says so much about him. This is probably the only CNN video I’ve ever seen that isn’t a 50-50 like to dislike ratio. Conservatives will dislike and liberals will like without even watching but this… this is not that and that’s a huge sign that tells me Yangs actually gotta shot! #YangGang #Yang2020
Some Guy I see you everywhere s—t talking about Yang. You must be a Russian bot.
Nocturnal Recluse he just ADDS to the status quo regarding foreign policy and SUBTRACTS actual critical thought to our social safety net and instead gives everyone a grand every month…lol he is worth voting for over DRUMPF, I’ll give you that but why vote for the center left when we have TRUE PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES LIKE SANDERS&WARREN…he is an Obama administration insider with 1 good idea that’s literally half-baked…he is all for the Israeli apartheid right wing govt. and he is a crony corporatist just like Biden! So if you vote Bernie or Warren WHEN ONE OF them get the nomination…I will vote for Yang if he gets the nomination…DEAL?,…
Wayne Yates Know his policy in depth and make that accusation of him adding to the status quo. He is far from staying at the status quo.
if the Democrats want Trump out Yang is their ticket!!! Plain and simple!!!
@Nocturnal Recluse well good thing I am not with the far right.
@Dretti_Kruger Bernie’s legacy will be as an also-ran
@signalfire6 Your TDS is showing LOL
@Colin Faust People over money when USA becomes Democracy again.
Cuomo, thank you for interviewing Andrew Yang. All we want is him having a fair chance to show what his heart is. You got my respect. While other people at CNN just seems to be scared of him.
@Bacons Strip in that particular scenario, I would have died on my feet, while you hide behind other men for a meager Pat on the head. Loser.
CNN & MSNBC is supporting Donald Trump now get on the Trump train.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥TRUMP 2020💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Thomas Williams Who’s number 1? Fox like always
@Dan McFarland For rapist and lies also misinformation, they are kings # you got that buddie!!!.
Rare to see good energy in American politics
I know, TRUMP 2020 !
Andrew Yang appears to be the real deal.
@Mike Smith you’re full of it if you think trump has any interest in you or my opinions. I voted for him in ans I messed up, not this time though. YANG2020
@Heffey02 And everything will cost more. I hope it happens, because I will raise rent on my properties.
@toadly Andrew Yang is the country of China confirmed.
@William H what?
@gangcai2876 you have not sense of history, my friend. I am so sorry! America could never work like Maoist China because of the systems we have in place.
He killed it again! I don’t remember ever seeing a bad Andrew Yang interview
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💥TRUMP 2020💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
👉JUST ASK NANCY OR CHUCK👈
Mike Smith why
Bernie 2020!
MSNBC does bad interviews
Thank Cuomo. This was a good fair interview and your asking the questions skeptics have. The YangGang is growing.
@Arts Paradiso amen to that brother
your probably right, the Losers want somebody else to pay there bills? socialism !
@josh77577 lmfao
the YangGng, will be Gangedbanged by the DNC Headbangers
@Milt Farrow he loves giving away other peoples Money but not his !
Why did Cuomo waste time asking Andrew Yang about Castro???? Look up his awesome policies people! Yang 2020!
The book that Andrew wrote, “the war on normal people”. I’ve read it twice. The man is the genuine article. I don’t engage in the public conversation often, but this guy is data driven and is speaking to a greater truth in our collective future.
@demigodzilla he’s natural born american citizen but over 18. No felonious record. Seem qualified to me
@Olympus Devil You honestly need the term “qualified” explained to you, silly child? How “far” has Yang made it? Barbers used to pull teeth, and unqualified quacks used to treat illness with leeches. Does that mean your barber is qualified to give you a root canal and that anyone with a jar of blood sucking parasites is qualified to diagnose and treat lukemia. “Qualified” to me and other rational, responsible, thinking adults means demonstrably possessed of the background, experience, credentials, and skills to perform in a particular role, function, job, or position at an immediately competent and highly effective level, especially as measured against other applicants or contenders for that role, function, job, or position. Get those crayons flying to take all of that down, though you clearly aren’t qualified to honestly participate in this discussion.
Wow crack heads are going to love this guy
@TheUmbrellaCorpX7[エヴ] So does my dog. What’s your point?
@Dennis Delacruz Being a thoughtful, intelligent, responsible adult, I distinguish between eligible and qualified. If being eligible is all that matters, why even go through this process? Why not put a few million names in a hat and do it by lottery, like the lottery Yang is holding for his pay-out gimmick? Do you know why virtually every professional field in America requires specific credentials, licensing, and demonstrated competence? I’ll let you work on that one for a while.
Monopoly is the most capitalistic board game in the world. Everyone that plays starts with money and gets money as they pass go. This makes the game capitalistic as it gives every player a chance to buy property and profit off of others. UBI is highly capitalistic. UBI only works in a capitalistic society. Socialism is when the government takes your money and tells your what to do with it.
@William Travelstead Capturing the wealth from tech companies will matter significantly when automation is in full swing. Estimates suggest 30 percent of jobs could be replaced by 2030.
Interesting idea. However, what I have learned in my 50 years of existence is that nothing is free. If you take away money from the government, the government will get it back in the form of taxes! If you win the lottery, or inherit money from family, the government will make sure you pay what they think is your “fair share”. You earn an extra income by getting a second job, or getting a raise at your current job, you pay the government more taxes! What really is the solution to this problem, is getting rid of the federal income tax instead of introducing and implementing the idea of a U.B.I.(Universal Basic Income). People would have more money to spend, if the federal government didn’t take it away!
@Jason Khan Low income families and especially those who are near the poverty line will not benefit from zero income tax. Under your proposal, the wealthy will become wealthier and the poor will become poorer. Meanwhile, automation will do away with millions of jobs and the middle class wither away into oblivion. You’re right that nothing is free. There are grave COSTS to the ‘zero federal income tax’ proposal.
Jason Khan look, the progressive income tax at the federal level, along with the IRS and the Federal Reserve private central bank are all technically illegal. However, the only real people against the taxes, are those at the top who have to pay them after their many deductions and Carmen island accounts are flush. Is it fair that we have to rent our land and homes from the government via property tax? Is it fair that we have to fund schools when we don’t have children with the school tax? Nothing in USA is fair. So, on that note, the rich who have spent 5 decades overthrowing the power and economy of the US people, can pay through the nose.
@Jason Khan I totally get where you are coming from. This would be a way to get the money back into our hands instead of big government solutions.
The world is changing and for many Americans their jobs are at risk of automation. Getting rid of the income tax doesn’t help when you can’t get a job. Consider truck driving. There is a good chance that within 10 years we will have market ready automated trucks doing a majority of the work. There are 3.5 million truck drivers. They wouldn’t lose their job because they didn’t work hard enough but because the robots are cheaper.
Cuomo seems to like him. This interview is very informal.
Shmm….he got Yanged.
Yang is a joke
He’s a democrat, of course he likes him!
It’s because smart people/candidates who actually answers questions can have great conversations.
James Peter not as big of a joke is your fave who promised to build a wall amongst other promises he’s made and has failed to deliver time and time and time again. I’m sorry, I forgot to laugh
Yang – If the other guy will not take care of our kids future, I am happy to do It
Yang is a smart fellow and delightful to talk with. I see all the hosts like him a lot. “study quick”, nice getback, lol
the more ppl hear yang the more they love him
@Bryan Broome It got us a certain amount of healing after Richard Nixon. If you are old enough, I doubt it actually, you might remember the high inflation of the 70s. Carter appt. Paul Volcker who is credited with ending that high inflation. Luckily Reagan kept him in that job.
@G Sterling Not wrong about Tesla but Audi and Mercedes would still be focusing on internal combustion engines if it wasn’t for people like Musk. Nasa is dependent on SpaceX nowadays.
@CT Design bahahaha
@G Sterling Surprisingly your data supports Tesla. Large companies like Youtube and Amazon look just like this as they expand and grow. The proof of Tesla’s success is their expansion; which calls upon reinvesting earnings and making loans and leverage and stock market maneuvers, not to mention the worst they look on paper the better their tax return will be. As far as the tax credit goes, this will not affect Tesla’s main customers which is upper middle class and tech first adopters. Look at the competitors Audi and Mercedes they are in the luxury vehicle market selling cars to upper middle class and wealthy people; so the tax incentive are a plus but not crucial for these people looking for luxury brands. In short tax credits won’t impact the EV market much, if anything Audi and Mercedes will be spending billions in infrastructure as they adopt new technology, also, they have long standing relationships to keep or shatter with car dealerships! which are middlemen taking a cut from the profit, thing that overbooked Tesla has nothing to worry about.
Anything that resembles a human being 2020!
That means you communist liberals can’t run against Trump then, right?
Republicans and democrats coming together?/?? Thats what America needs.
@Abstract Place Yes, democrats and republican should ignore their differences, and unite as the hateful bigots they both are.
Southern Fried Cynic
Cynic… yup, username checks out
Love him or hate him, he’s spitting facts.
What a bunch of BS. The people of Hong Kong lifted themselves out of poverty and grew the region to be prosperous to the point there are more Rolls Royces registered there per capital than anywhere else in the world. So what this clown is saying Americans are too lazy and stupid to work hard and earn their money than getting free government cheese.
