>> THE ONLY THING THAT STANDS
IN OUR WAY IS OUR BROKEN
POLITICAL SYSTEM THAT IS BEING
UNDERMINED BY THE PRESIDENT TO
ABUSE THE POWER OF THE OFFICE.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE ONLY
PRESIDENT WHO HAS DECIDED NOT
TO REPRESENT THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
THE PRESIDENT HAS HIS BASE.
WE NEED A PRESIDENT WHO WORKS
FOR ALL AMERICANS.
>> Bill: AS YOU CAN SEE JOE
BIDEN IS TEARING DOWN PRESIDENT
TRUMP MAKING HIS APPEAL TO
MIDDLE CLASS VOTERS AND UNIONS.
OTHER CANDIDATES TRYING TO
STAND OUT FROM THE FIELD IN THE
DEMOCRATIC CROWD.
HERE IS ONE.
ANDREW YANG, NICE TO SEE YOU IN
PERSON MEETING FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
BIDEN DIDN'T GO AFTER YOU OR
ANY OF HIS DEMOCRATIC
CHALLENGERS.
>> HE HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF
HAVING SKY HIGH NAME
RECOGNITION AND BEEN IN THE
PUBLIC SPACE A LONG TIME.
HE IS FOCUSED ON DONALD TRUMP.
WE HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS
THAT GOT DONALD TRUMP ELECTED
IN 2016.
>> Bill: I WONDER IF YOU WERE
INSULTED BY THE LACK OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN PITTSBURGH,
YOU AND THE OTHERS.
>> NOT AT ALL.
SITTING VICE PRESIDENT FOR
EIGHT YEARS.
LEADING IN THE POLLS.
IF I WERE HIM I WOULD HAVE DONE
THE EXACT SAME THING.
>> Bill: YOU WANT TO DO
UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME AND GIVE
PEOPLE IN IOWA $1,000 A DAY --
SORRY, $1,000 A -- $12,000 A
YEAR I SHOULD SAY.
ARE YOU PANDERING TO THE FOLKS
IN IOWA TO TRY TO GET THAT
ATTENTION?
>> WE'VE ALREADY DONE THIS IN
NEW HAMPSHIRE AND WHAT'S FUN
ABOUT THIS IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE
GET $1,000 A MONTH YOU SEE THEY
DO POSITIVE, PRODUCTIVE THINGS.
A FAMILY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE IS
PAYING THEIR DAUGHTER'S TUITION.
THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IN
IOWA.
THERE ARE FEARS ABOUT PEOPLE
GETTING $1,000 A MONTH.
>> Bill: WHAT CHANGES FOR
PEOPLE IF YOU DO THAT?
BECAUSE SOME WOULD SEE IT AS A
SIMPLE HAND-OUT, AS YOU KNOW.
>> THERE IS A LOT OF DATA ON
THIS.
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT PEOPLE'S
MENTAL HEALTH IMPROVES.
STRESS GOES DOWN.
RELATIONSHIPS IMPROVE.
PHYSICAL HEALTH IMPROVES OVER
TIME.
THEIR TRUST IN COMMUNITY
MEMBERS AND THEIR SOCIETY GOES
UP.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PHENOMENAL
EFFECTS AND WE'RE SEEING THIS
ON A VERY SMALL SCALE WITH A
FAMILY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE THAT
I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR SINCE
JANUARY 1.
>> Bill: INTERESTED TO SEE HOW
PEOPLE IN IOWA RESPOND TO IT.
HOW DO YOU BEAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION WHEN YOU ARE
GROWING AT 3.2%.
THE GDP NUMBER FOR FIRST
QUARTER.
>> GDP IS A HIGHLY FLAW
EDUCATOR HOW WE'RE DOING.
IT IS AT A RECORD HIGH BUT LIFE
EXPECTANCY HAS DECLINED BECAUSE
OF DRUG OVERDOSE AND SUICIDE.
WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT?
LIFE EXPECTANCY AND GDP NUMBER.
>> Bill: I DON'T THINK YOU CAN
MAKE THE CASE THAT IT'S PHANTOM.
IT MOVES MARKETS.
YOU SUPPORT THE GREEN NEW DEAL,
CORRECT?
MEDICARE FOR ALL.
A HEARING ON THAT TODAY IN THE
HOUSE WE'RE WAITING FOR.
YOU SUPPORT A CARBON TAX, YOU
SUPPORT FREE OR DRASTICALLY
REDUCED TUITION AT COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
WE HAVE A BIG LIST.
WHO DO YOU BELIEVE IS THE MOST
LIBERAL OR MOST PROGRESSIVE IN
THIS FIELD TODAY?
>> IT'S A FUN QUESTION.
A BIG FIELD.
FOR ME THE LIBERAL AND
CONSERVATIVE, IT IS NOT LEFT OR
RIGHT IT'S FORWARD.
WE HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND KNOW
THAT ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS OR
SEVERAL OF THE MAIN THINGS
DRIVING AMERICANS TO RECORD
LEVELS OF STRESS ARE SKY HIGH
EDUCATION COSTS AND OUR SKY
HIGH HEALTHCARE COSTS, THE
LEADING CAUSE OF BANKRUPTCY.
THEY HAVE TO COME TOGETHER.
CONGRESS PERSON WHO WAS TALKING
ABOUT IT SAID THAT THE COST IN
OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS ARE OUT
OF CONTROL AND WE NEED TO BRING
THEM DOWN.
>> Bill: I DIDN'T GET A NAME
FROM YOU ON THAT QUESTION.
>> YOU NOTICED THAT, HUH?
>> Bill: ANDREW YANG, $1,000 A
MONTH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
