Trump is an Asian man who likes math."

And so that has been something of a rallying cry

And so that has been something of a rallying cry for me in the campaign.

for me in the campaign.

Hello, I'm Andrew Yang.

I'm running for president in 2020 as a Democrat.

I'm a serial entrepreneur.

I started an organization called Venture for

America that helped create thousands of jobs in

Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, St. Louis

and other cities around the country.

And during that time I came to realize that

technology is pushing our economy in a direction

where more and more people are going to be out of

work. We were automating away many more jobs than

we were creating, and that we needed to wake

people up.

I would never be running if Donald Trump hadn't

won the election in 2016.

The bell really went off where I was like I'm

going to run for president when I was doing

research about what I thought helped Donald Trump

win, which is that we'd automated away 4 million

manufacturing jobs in Michigan, Ohio -

Indiana has lost 5,000 jobs.

That's not good.

All the swing states he needed to win and did win.

Thank you to Ohio.

Someone needs to make this case to

the American people that it is not

immigrants. It's technology.

And when I realized no one else was going to do

it, then that's when I decided to run.

Universal basic income is a policy where every member of a society, in this case every American citizen,

gets enough money to meet his or her basic needs. So in my plan The Freedom Dividend, every American adult

starting at age 18 would receive $1,000 a month free and clear to do whatever you want.

We love the characterization of us as a long-shot because, one, it shows where we've started

and, two, it shows how much we're going to shock the world as we continue to grow.

I think the reason why the campaign is growing all the time is that people see me as solutions oriented.

I'm not a futurist I'm a present-ist. It's just that so many other politicians are stuck in the past that I seem like I'm

somehow pushing an agenda that's not commensurate to 2019 or 2020, but it's 2019 and 2020.

Mean, artificial intelligence is real. Self-driving cars and trucks are going be on our, they're on our roads right now.

We need to wake up, and the things I'm recommending are not pie in the sky or Utopian at all.

They're actually things we should have done years ago.
