You're polling higher than some governors,

And a lot of people, I think it's safe to say,

did not know who you were a very short time ago.

-And you're running on this idea of a universal basic income,

which is giving every American $1,000 a month.

And are you worried that, because you're polling higher

-Well, that would be a version of victory, Seth.

I've said for a while that I'm either going to win

or the other candidates are going to sound a lot like me.

-Well, that's a very good way of looking at it.

Because I'm fascinated by this idea of a Freedom Dividend.

Before we do that, it does seem like you're having

fun out there, and I think that's really important.

I believe this is all just in the last week or two.

-Here's a montage we've made of you enjoying yourself

people are happy to see you, they're happy to hear you,

is you have this idea of, "I'm going to give you

Now, obviously, Democrats who are onstage with you --

a lot of them have big ideas for healthcare, education.

They think that your plan is maybe going a little too far.

So explain, really quickly, this universal-basic-income idea.

It's been with United States since our founding.

Thomas Paine was for it. Martin Luther King was for it.

And one state has had a dividend for almost 40 years,

And, so, what they're doing for Alaska with oil money

because right now, we're in the midst of the greatest economic

transformation in the history of our country,

The fact we blasted away 4 million manufacturing jobs

in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa,

all the swing states that he needed to win.

So we need to take the bounty of the 21st century economy

And though everyone associates me with 1,000 bucks a month,

it's really about what the money would do for us.

It's going to make us stronger, healthier, mentally healthier.

-You talk about how things -- -There isn't applause?

-They were all -- They were being quiet because

You talk about how GDP and the stock market

are bad indicators of exactly where this country is at,

And it may seem trite, but you think that

we need to judge economic health on happiness.

Is that an accurate distillation of the way you think?

-It's not quite happiness, but that's essentially right.

also at record highs -- stress, financial insecurity,

It's gotten so bad that even though our record high GDP,

our life expectancy has declined for three years in a row.

So you have to ask yourself, are the measurements wrong

or are we actually prioritizing this production number

And, to me, it's obvious the numbers are wrong,

and you need to update them to include things like

our health and well-being, our mental health,

but also things like clean air and clean water,

the real measurements for American success.

You talk about the numbers adding up and I think, you know,

it makes sense that a lot of people would ask how

you'd pay for $1,000 a month to all Americans.

You, yourself, I believe, put the price tag
