but Andrew Yang is a presidential candidate

currently running.

- [Interviewer] Yeah.

- With MATH in all capital letters on his hats as a slogan.

- [Interviewer] I see!

- It stands for Make America Think Hard.

- Okay, I'll vote for him.

(laughing)

- So, and his name rhymes with yours, Yang Strang.

So, but he also loves Math, - [Interviewer] Yeah.

makes me realize that Math, Science and Engineering,

are not really part of our politics.

- [Interviewer] Right.

- Political discourse, about political like,

government in general.

- [Interviewer] Yeah.

- Why do you think that is?

Well, what are your thoughts on that in general?

- Well, certainly somewhere in the system,

It's undeniable.

- But isn't that strange to you that

I'm pretty sure we have no elected officials in Congress

or obviously the President.

- [Interviewer] Yes.

- That either has an Engineering degree or a Math degree.

- Yeah, well, that's too bad.

You know, a few could,

a few who could make the connection, yeah?

It would have to be people who are,

who are, who understand Engineering or Science,

and at the same time, can make speeches,

and, and lead.

Yeah,

- Inspire people.

- Yeah, inspire, yeah.
