Andrew Yang: “We’re experiencing 10 years of change in 10 weeks”

April 20, 2020
GZERO Media

Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang discusses the proposal that served as the cornerstone for his campaign—universal basic income—and why he believes the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the need for the policy.

Yang offers his thoughts on the Trump administration's relief check and stimulus plans, and why he feels the time has come for a more permanent income solution for Americans badly impacted by the sudden downturn in the economy.

Ian Bremmer and Yang also discuss the 2020 presidential race as it stands now, and what Biden can and should be doing to provide a counternarrative of hope and rebuilding to the nation.
