I wish I was as morally superior as Jeff Daniels, I wish I had supported a woman who profited at the expense of poor Haitians, laughed when the child rapist she defended beat a polygraph and was cleared of a rape charge, whose failed foreign policy in Libya led to Americans being murdered which she in then lied about, who terrorized her husbands sexual assault victims, takes six figure speeches on Wall Street where she stresses the importance of having public and private stances on the same issue, intentionally mishandled classified information, and exchanged political favors for cash under the front of a phony foundation.

The manufacturing jobs aren't coming back. We shifted long ago to a service centered economy. There have to be adequate re-education transitional programs. You cant fight, technology or the already emergent global economy. Rather, smart economies thru firms change to match and outpace fiscal economic trend. The only way to do that is what I previously mentioned above alongside improving technology for efficiency.

[@BolshevikChris]

Yang wants to get rid of the entire welfare system that alot of these people are reliant on. Yang is for the shareholders as much as Trump is my dude.

[@BeingBadAtMaths]

@@BolshevikChris Here's the thing: the current welfare systems that are in place have too much bureaucratic red tape that you need to go through just to receive the benefits. Couple that with the fact that if you get a job again and the gov't finds out that you can financially support yourself or your family again, the benefits will be cut for most of those programs. The pre-conditions are not attractive and does not give the individual a sense of optimism for the future. On the other hand, the Freedom Dividend is given to you NO MATTER YOUR ECONOMIC SITUATION. Sick, healthy, poor, rich, jobless, job... You will (in theory) always receive the $1,000 just for being a citizen of the US; a RIGHT. PLUS: you still come out ahead if you decide to opt-in to the FD, AND it will stack with SSDI; essentially an add on for social security. It's a win-win for the economy and the individual, able to take off the existential and economic stress of those that are just struggling to get by. As to your second question, Yang is not funded by any corporation or Super PACS. He is simply getting by (and I would argue) rising simply on the donations of individuals who see that he is not a charlatan like Trump. The only reason why he is running for president is because of the problems that we are dealing with now, as well as what he foresees if we do not alter our trajectory. The Freedom Dividend is a response to the coming wave of automation and AI that will eradicate the jobs that most people take for granted. What good is a $15 minimum wage or tax cuts to the rich when the every day American can not find a job? He is not concerned with shareholders like Trump: He is concerned about the future of t(his) country, and unlike the other Democrats that are running, he has ideas and solutions that can bring America to a new future in the 21st century. I would hope you can learn a little bit more about him if you haven't already and really dig deep into his broader vision for the country, and I hope my comment was a sufficient response. :) #Yang2020 #YangGang

What makes Jeff Daniels so remarkable as a man and an actor is his combination of fiery passion and sober reason. Like his newsroom scene when he declares America is no longer the best country in the world. Acting 101. Even when he swears its because no other words give that condition justice. In Gettysburg, Good Night and Good Luck, Newsroom and To Kill a Mockingbird he is the actor of choice. Only Jeff Daniels could possibly compete with the great Gregory Peck as the iconic Atticus Finch. He is simply the finest actor active in the world today. If only he would run for President.

As a black man myself I truly hate black victimhood and white guilt. Black people and white people are human beings along with other ethnic racial groups. So I don’t need anyone to pity me at all because it makes me cringe. This is what they should be teaching the younger generational people about life. Here are four simple steps to have a less troubled life; step one: graduate from high school, step two: do not have children before you get married, step three: hold down a job and step four: do not commit crimes. If you follow these four simple steps your life would be less harder. I have a message for all human beings in this world for the last time you cannot demand love you cannot make someone like you just because somebody does not like you that does not mean your a horrible person and especially it does not mean your oppressed. The truth about human nature is that you cannot fix people it is up to people to fix themselves period. Forcing someone to like you is similar to someone forcibly to respect you when respect must be earned just like love should be earned. If you have not done anything wrong to anyone in your life then you obviously do not have to apologise, or beg for forgiveness, or even feel guilty or even carry a weight on your shoulder so grow up and live your life normally with those who are closer to you like your families and your long time friends. I understand we humans all want love, respect and support but you cannot get everything you want so be grateful for all the good things that you have in your life. If you think the world owes you something then that makes you a paranoid sad individual.

@@Patrick-jj5nh yeah they panned the fucking camera away so I couldn't damn well tell lol

[@justincastillogayray]

@@Patrick-jj5nh someone in the studio audience knows what he said

[@isabella-a-a-a]

I think it may have been “fucking dead,” considering the photo in question

Jeff Daniels you hit the nail on the head. Democrats, Talk to us.

[@mikescheu2142]

Jeff Daniels has one of the most beautiful and deepest widows peaks I've ever seen.

[@Jeudaos]

Universal Basic Income. People don't NEED jobs, they NEED money to afford to live.

[@quiett6191]

whats ironic was that the corporations that helped the US into the most powerful economy on earth took their jobs elsewhere when the cost of doing business at home rose.

[@LivingOurDreams1950s]

@@quiett6191 IT ISN'T. Those of us who were born in an honorable America in the 1950's, know this. These two people are the main reason why. UNBELIEVABLE

[@SgtHulkasToe]

What a shining light of intellect, a true genius beyond description of the word. Brilliant by every measure.

[@CaptainEdMercer]

What Jeff Daniels said was really enlightening. I'm glad he worded it so well and that it's easy to understand. When we look at politics we look at things that are prioritized. The problem is people and their livelihood AREN'T prioritized. Someone I know said I should become a politician and you know what I said? I said I don't know enough. I want someone who's going to know what they need to. The exact same thing Jeff Daniels said! Knowing this, it makes me happier to know great minds thing alike. We need educated professionals in november 2020. We need them to know who and what to pick to fill the very needed roles in the white house. Trump only has a fraction of what should be in the white house in terms of people employed to do what America needs done. We need justice and accountability in our country. If that means locking away the rich and elites for their crimes, then good. Justice needs to be had. There's a lot more too. To anyone reading this, thank you. Vote him out and lets get our country back from the traitors.

7:10 lol. They are telling them the opposite. They asked Elizabeth Warren last night in the debate, she dodged it.

[@bernardscheidle5679]

I doubt if rural conservatives are going to NYC to watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" on Broadway. If they do, it's becuz they thought it was a play about hunting.

[@lanegralotiene8039]

Great interview!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tisurmaster]

he looks like an Andrew Yang kinda tie.

[@reddfraser2]

Does anyone know what he said that they censored? During his whole career Mr. Daniels has ALWAYS spoken truth to those in power, and always vigorously presented the facts using simple , straight-forward language. He just needed to slip behind the desk, to represent as McAvoy....one of my favorite Sorkin spokesmen

[@dfghdfghuytiu8207]

What did they cut?

[@saltriverpirate3172]

Funny a guy so well known for Dumb & Dumber is consistently more brilliant than smart. Jeff Daniels just cut through 100 hours of punditry.

[@looney1023]

Interesting aside: Jim Carrey specifically wanted Jeff Daniels because he wasn't a comedic actor, and fought tooth and nail to keep him on board when the studios were against it. It's interesting that sometimes dramatic actors pull off the best comedic performances.

[@captain_nerdrage7091]

Jeff, speaking with such conviction... hat damn.

[@hhjk377]

I would HATE to be his kid and receive a "I'm not mad I'm just disappointed" speech. Shit would be brutal.

[@gregoryashton]

Censorship is not free-speech!

[@CheezeBanana]

The look on stephen's face when jeff got real #priceless

[@TheSharmanova]

I think Newsroom was Jeff Daniels playing Will McAvoy channelling Jeff Daniels.

[@jb34304]

From the sounds of the story, the film: The Green Mile. Is a somewhat close analogue to the book of to Kill a Mockingbird. Great movie.

[@CactusThorn]

To kill a mockingbird was 7th grade reading in the 1970s. Now they read Harry Potter in 8th grade. Talk about getting dumb and dumber. They should give children something to read a little more relevant to the times they’re growing up in.

[@johnjaques7642]

Yang has the plan for MI, WI, IA, PA, OH

[@peacefulisland67]

And he says he doesn't know enough to run. He knows the best most relevant parts needed. The particulars come from trusted hired hands. To folks who say he's just an actor: we ALL are. Always have been.

[@debbiep99]

That entrance though 🥰

[@Will-A.]

Jeff Daniels for POTUS!!

[@danblaize5742]

Powerful stuff!

[@elurk]

Now go talk about censorship in China or in Russia. Standup ovation for Daniels!

You could hear a needle drop in that audience when talking about Michigan and how the election is going to be decided by them.

*Spoiler Alert: No Mockingbirds were killed*

[@dramchaser1022]

There was a mute for a few seconds on the clip. I’m sure it wasn’t something that couldn’t been aired and I understand that. I just wished that it wasn’t muted/uncut on KZbin. I understand that it’s a “family” show. But there are times where things that need to be said and/or done not to be taken off. Specially when the actual truth is being told. That’s just my two cents.

[@Kalah_]

Huh. Jeff Daniels was wrong; he actually does know some stuff about politics.
