Cohen to 2020 presidential candidate Andrew yang well that's just how I roll

what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the

problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel I try to pull

different topics going on in the social sphere to try to see what lessons we can

learn so the end of that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and bring that

notification bell so it's currently 2019 next year we will be electing a new

president something that we should all care about

there's the presidential elections I know I have a lot of international

viewers as well and if you are international let me know down in the

comments like how much do you guys pay attention to the United States

presidential election I know during the last one there was a

lot of stuff going on I saw a lot of people talking about it on an

international level anyways we do need to cut all right like what is it goals

of my channel is to kind of just put a spotlight on different things going on

like in you know pop culture TV you know music movies but also like the elections

like we need to look at like what affects our day-to-day lives now I know

a lot of you you know you told me that you have political anxiety a lot of it

is based on like you just don't like arguing with people like so let's be

cool down in the comments like I just want to make this video about my initial

thoughts on Andrew yang so I keep seeing this dude's name pop up him as well as

Pete Buddha gag these dudes right and yeah

so part of what I try to do I try to I personally try to find candidates that

along with my value since that I care about the things that I think are an

issue that the United States is facing so I've heard a lot about Andrew yang

and a friend was talk to me about it today I was like okay I'll do some

research so the first video I watched was an interview with him on the

channels of route which is an African American base channel where they talk a

lot about issues going on in the African American community so I want to be here

what Andrew yang views were on the struggles of the

african-american community for those of you who don't know right so as I was

watching it my first impression on that video was he was very agreeable he's

like oh yeah what boy yeah you know body cams on cops yeah you know like all

these things that he was being asked about yeah yeah yeah right okay like

it's easy for a presidential candidate just to say yes about everything so

something that keeps popping up like YouTube's like pushing it out to me is

Andrew yang was just interviewed by ben shapiro

so ben shapiro is pretty right-leaning and he's very controversial and

everything I'm like okay let's see how Andrew yang handles a conversation with

ben shapiro and surprisingly like you can't cool the whole time but seem like

they agreed more than they disagreed on on various issues what is interesting to

me um I do want to make a video about ben shapiro on his views on universal

basic income that is something that andrew yang is really pushing so anyways

like my initial thoughts just after these first two interviews with andrew

yang that i've seen like what do I agree with what do I disagree with how do I

like it as a person from what I can see and all that so like as time goes on

I'll learn more about him but these are just kind of my first impression so if

you know more about them and you want to educate me feel free to let me know down

in the comments below one of the things is is like it seems it seems like it's

looks like emotional than other people running which is it's good and bad like

one thing that I do enjoy about somebody like Bernie Sanders is like you could

really see that passion right now Andrew yang something that I've I picked

up on very quickly about Andrew yang is that he talks a lot about things that

I'm very passionate about which are mental health as well as the addiction

crisis specifically opioids in the United States and as he talks about his

views are different social and economic issues a lot of what he says ties back

to mental health that's something that I look for that something that I

here about because just the the mental healthcare system in the United States

sucks but like I look for root causes and things it's something like Andrew

yang is really pushing universal basic income but also you know he he wants to

do something we're all Americans get an extra thousand dollars every single

month and he talks about this and why he wants that and I've done a video in the

past about universal basic income and a study that they did up in Canada which

I'm kind of surprised about like it's not being brought up something that my

beautiful girlfriend mentioned like maybe that you know that study was you

know debunk maybe or there was some flaws in it maybe that's why he's not

referencing it but anyways there was a study that they did up in a small town

in Canada maybe like 20 or 30 years ago let's check that video out on it but

Andrew yang also brought up that this is something that they've been doing in

Alaska for a long time and Alaska's very white leaning state but they've been

doing this but it's a little bit different I believe he said they're

getting $1,000 per year where Andrew yang wants to do it a thousand dollars

per month but how does this affect like our mental health well when you look at

it like and this is something that I'm just trying to teach everybody right

like when you look at it you know the things that are affecting us like our

stress our anger issues and all that a lot of it is money based right like I

was I was having a conversation with my girlfriend earlier about this and it's

like how many how many household fights do you think happen because of money

issues right maybe it's stress about paying the bills maybe it's a job that a

person doesn't like maybe it's you know whatever like something that has to do

with finances how many fights do you think are happening and not even to the

extreme of like domestic violence but just like verbal and emotional abuse

now how many have households with children do you think this happens in

right because children are being subject to this to like I would be interested to

hear from you guys in the comments down below in your household how often is

money an issue you know what I mean so if everybody is getting extra sales

dollars maybe you would help lessen the stress so something I've talked about a

million times on my channel is no money does not guarantee happiness but it does

decrease stress okay so what are the arguments that ben shapiro brought up is

you know this kind of optimist view that if everybody gets an extra thousand

dollars they're gonna do something good with it or they're gonna pursue a hobby

or a passion or you know something like that and that's not guaranteed and seem

like andrew yang he's very real this thing about it he knows that some people

will not do that like for example I'm a recovering drug addict okay I've been

clean for six and a half years I think about if you would have given me an

extra thousand dollars a month six and a half years ago like that would have gone

straight to drugs just like that's what I would have done but anyways the study

that they did up in Canada what it was is when when people were getting a

universal basic income in let them be a little bit more you know choosy about

which type of job they would get like they didn't have to get a crappy job

right because they had something to fall back on and what this did was it made

employers has better working conditions because way now I know a lot of you are

working at the job a job where it's like the the employer or your boss is like

this like you know authoritarian kind of you like run this way in this way in

this way right but when there's more of that kind of balance of power where you

don't need that job hey I can see the argument where it kind of forces

employers to do something like run businesses a little bit better for the

employees alright so something else that came up was Andrew yang supports

single-payer health care but he does think you know if you want private

insurance you can still go ahead and do that but something that I often think

about too is and there's a question for you when it comes back to mental health

how many of you are stressed out or don't get the proper health care because

of the way our health care system currently is you have jacked up

prescription drug prices really high deductibles all these different things

and this can add up to stress as well and something that Andrew yang talks

about every time I've heard this guy speak so far he mentions depression

anxiety and stress as well as suicide rates

as well as the addiction crisis in the United States so I see that as being

something that it seems like it's in the forefront of his mind and just as

somebody who tries to analyze and read people like seeing him constantly go

back to those things I'm like okay it seems like this dude really cares about

the root causes now something I hope to learn about him in

the future going forward is his ideas of how to make this happen right because

right now in the political landscape like we we haven't even gotten down to

like the primaries and everything like that like you just have it's very noisy

and you have a bunch of candidates who are just saying things to appease people

to pander to people and everything like that but when you get somebody like

Bernie Sanders he's been in this game for decades now and he has plans to put

things into action you know what I mean so that's that's something I'm looking

forward to learning about when it comes to Andrew yang and like as far as like

political affiliation like like for me it's just about policies I don't care

what party you're in what policies are you looking to put into place to make

life better for everybody in this country like that's pretty much all

people want you know what I mean so anyways Andrew Young also has a book

out I'm thinking about reading it not sure not sure how political it is or you

know whatever like politics isn't something I'm just like constantly in

but it's something that I try to keep an eye on because like I said at the

beginning of this video it's something that affects all of us so even if you

want to stay out of political conversations don't worry like I'm gonna

bring them up like leading into the 2020 election like my channel is just about

bringing awareness of things that may affect each and every one of us me is

the person making these videos and you as the viewer you know what I mean so

anyways like I said if you know more about Andrew yang and his ideas of

policies or whatever it is if you're part of the yang gang how cool is that

man by the way let me know down the comments below but anyways that's all I

got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if
