Joe Rogan - Andrew Yang Presidential Candidate- It Happened!

The video opens with a brief narrated segment about the Moley robotic kitchen, highlighting its award‑winning capabilities, tactile‑sensor‑laden hands, and ability to download and reproduce any recipe, positioning it as a glimpse of future home‑cooking automation. The host then shifts to a detailed reaction to the recently released Joe Rogan interview with presidential candidate Andrew Yang. He frames Yang’s platform – the “Freedom Dividend,” a universal basic income (UBI) of $1,000 per month – as a response to rapid advances in robotics and AI that threaten to displace large swaths of the labor force. Drawing a parallel to the Industrial Revolution, the host notes historical labor unrest that led to the creation of Labor Day, arguing that today’s automation could spark similar upheaval. He discusses Yang’s funding proposals, including leveraging oil revenues (as Alaska does) and taxing robot‑producing companies to finance UBI, and critiques the fairness of corporations avoiding taxes while generating massive wealth. The commentary explores societal benefits of UBI such as reduced crime, lower prison costs, improved mental health, and lower suicide rates, using the example of the $40,000 annual cost to incarcerate a person. Politically, the host argues Yang should focus on truckers and the Midwest, whose jobs are vulnerable to automation, as well as young tech‑savvy voters who understand AI. He notes surprising conservative support for UBI from figures like Milton Friedman, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg, and warns that even if Yang gains traction, entrenched Washington politics could block implementation. Finally, the host promotes his own blockchain‑based UBI experiment as an early‑adoption safety net, urging viewers to watch the full Rogan‑Yang interview and subscribe to the channel.

Dubbed the world's first robotic chicken, Moley includes an impressive set of features that will free you up to entertain your guests or spend more time relaxing. It takes care of the cooking, employing tricks and methods only seen before in top-notch master chefs. The Moley robot was officially unveiled at the world-renowned robotics show Hannover Messe and was met with wild acclaim and support from some industry heavyweights. That isn't the only prestigious award the Moley has won, as it also scooped up the best of the best at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show. The robot's hands are its most impressive feature, with multiple joints, tactile sensors, and intricate control systems. The Moley can download and reproduce any recipe that you point it towards, including some dishes that even the best chefs have trouble taking on. The Moley's recipe library is styled like iTunes. It is even supposed to feature 3D recipe recording. Allowing users to actually present their own recipes, which is quite an exciting prospect. Even though this technology is relatively new, it's still quite powerful, and it seems like the team behind the Moley has really thought of everything, and their product stands poised to change the way we all approach home-cooked meals, adding the flair of a professional chef to every dish you prepare. Number 5: Turtle.
Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And guys, that was, um, just some of the advancements of what we get in robotics these days. But anyway, as you can tell by the title of the video, guys, we finally got it. We got the interview between Joe Rogan and Andrew Yang, presidential candidate Mr. Yang. So a lot of us have been counting down, counting down to this interview, and, um, uh, I actually had oddly forgot, uh, it was yesterday, uh, but I caught it yesterday evening. I caught it about 2 hours after it had been broadcast, and I was just blown away with the, uh, with the interview. Um, so Let's unpack it a little bit. If you, for those of you who don't know who Andrew Yang is, excuse me, who's tuned into the channel, uh, Andrew Yang is a presidential candidate running on the platform of universal basic income, or maybe a better rebranded term, the Freedom Dividend. Um, and he's starting to pick up quite a bit of steam, um, as people starting to listen to what he's saying. And I, and I gotta tell you, after he speaks to you, if you listen long enough, uh, I think he really starts to get through to people. Now, for me, I think it was a little bit easier because, uh, a little bit of my background, I'm kind of a futurist, so I already kind of, um, was, um, aware of the advancements of, uh, of technology, AI, and robotics. It's kind of interesting because When I tell people I'm around, when I tell certain friends, it's so odd that some people still aren't in tune with or aware of the advancements of robotics. Like, you know, I speak to people some days, they just can't believe that robots can do some of the things that they hear about him doing today. And, uh, they're, they're just totally out of sync with that. And that's a real problem because I'm just shocked that they don't know this stuff. So they're obviously not aware, you know, people are involved with their families, their lives, and jobs. And the problem with that is when these things hit, unfortunately, it might be too late, right? It might already be upon us, uh, for the most part, because these developments are so, so fast. Like A lot of these videos, a lot of content we watch about these robots are already years old, right? And these companies are continually developing these robots further and further. So Andrew Yang's running on this eventuality that these robots are going to replace such a great degree of the labor force that it's going to be catastrophic, unlike ever seen before. And just a fantastic, just a fantastic, uh, interview. Now this was interesting. This is something I learned that surprisingly— I was surprised I didn't know about— but a lot of the argument that comes from people who disagree with the notion of universal basic income, who disagree with this platform comes from what happened at the turn of the Industrial Revolution. Now, this is the crazy part of this whole view that we get from a lot of people today, and that is that what we're facing now is comparable to the Industrial Revolution. And what I mean by that Uh, the Industrial Revolution, uh, of course that was the last time we had this major, um, uh, um, advance where, uh, robotics and technology displaced a lot of workers, right? It displaced a lot of farmers. It displaced, uh, uh, a lot of factory-type work and 1. What, uh, doesn't get mentioned a lot that Andrew Yang brought up that somehow I missed was that there were, uh, a lot of, uh, opposition to robotics, uh, displacing the jobs. There was a lot of riots and various things like that, so much to the point that the entire, uh, holiday of Labor Day in the United States is due to the end of these riots, right? The Labor Day holiday is based on, you know, all of this, disruption throughout the job market. So I thought that was just so very interesting. I don't know how I didn't look up the history of Labor Day. Uh, I kind of thought it was just kind of paying thanks to the labor force and giving everybody a day off to, you know, to thank the labor force. I didn't, I didn't know it was the it had to do with that. Um, but that just shows the seriousness of that, of this. But the, but the thing is, we're somehow comparing what we're gonna get and what we're seeing with that. And the thing about, uh, events that happen through the course of history, and when we try to take that data and we try to move it into the future tense, right, that doesn't make a whole great deal of sense because we can't comparably say what the future is going to bring with the advent of a robotics and technological revolution because there are going to be different variables that are going to be involved in the future tense of this job displacement that probably weren't there during the Industrial Revolution. So I think that's a kind of a weird and baseless argument to make. So Andrew Yang also talks about, unfortunately, how it's tearing the country apart at the seams, right? That the suicide rates are up, the child production— child production, am I saying that right? Reproduction is down, right? Birth rates, rather, birth rates are down, uh, because of the economic, you know, problems, uh, and so he just brought up a lot of great points, guys. I, I, you really have to tune into this, into this interview, uh, they got into, you know, exactly how this is going to be paid for because that's the, that's the major, um, uh, you know, concern that comes up a great deal. Like, how is this going to be afforded, right? And so Andrew Yang does a very good job of, uh, figuring out the numbers behind this. He, he spoke about how Alaska is able to do it because they use oil to do it, and he speaks about how we'll use the new oil to do it. And that's information and data and technology, uh, like what you're gonna get in the, uh, the surplus and the wealth generated by these robots. And of course, uh, a lot of different ideas have come up with directly taxing these robots, uh, or, or taxing the, the companies that benefit from them, which makes sense because if you have workers right now, you've displaced all these workers. Or will workers pay taxes, right? They, they pay income taxes and things like that, and federal taxes, right? Um, and so now you don't got that, but you got all this wealth. And then he talks about how these companies then, you know, they're able to basically avoid paying taxes. That's, that's one thing that doesn't get mentioned in the conversation of what is fair, uh, with who, how money gets, uh, distributed, right? It's the idea of that, um it's not fair to, uh, you know, go take money from someone who supposedly created all the wealth and earned it. But then it's also not fair if they don't— if they find ways to wiggle out of paying, you know, taxes, right? And so, uh, you know, when it— when it comes to this whole concept of fairness, I think we have to unpack it and we have to level it all the way across the field. We can't just go from one concept and go, whoa, this doesn't work and this works. Though you have to sometimes repair the entire system, right? Uh, if people consider theft, uh, to take value away, or somehow that these big corp companies created this wealth, now you're taking that incentive for them to create more. Right, but they're stealing from the taxpayers, right, by avoiding paying taxes, uh, then, you know, how do you, how do you, uh, you know, uh, deal with that level of unfairness coming over from them? So it's a lot of different ways, you know, that we can look at this thing. But, um, guys, again, just a, just a fantastic interview, and they, and they go into great detail. I'm going to leave a link in the description 1:02 But I learned a lot during that, during the interview. And what I liked about it is the way Joe Rogan presents these interviews, uh, he presents them in a way where they're easy for anybody to understand them. You know, you don't have to be, have a degree in economics. You don't have to, uh, you know, be politically savvy or anything like that. You can understand these things. And he, and, and, you know, he's done a great job of, uh, presenting that platform. And even Joe Rogan, who came in very skeptical, skeptical in the beginning, I could tell, uh, about the concern of people just sitting around doing nothing, which in itself is a myth as well, uh, that people are going to just sit around and do nothing. That's probably not going to happen. Another thing that came up without— I want to talk about that, it's kind of weird to me that actually comes up a lot, is that— and I've actually got this I had conversations on the thread about this in the comments section, and that is that some people go, well, $1,000 isn't going to be enough for people to live off either. But, but you're missing the entire— you're missing the entire point. The $1,000 was never supposed to be totally enough for the people to, to live off, right? The $1,000 is supposed to be about meeting your basic needs so you can stay alive and survive, right? It's not necessarily about you, you know, being able to supply and support everything you do in life, every bill you require. If you have children and children cost money, it's not meant to supply you if you're going to go out and have a whole family of people and you, you got that $1,000 coming in. No, it's supposed to take the edge off, right? If you're, if you're working that minimum wage job or something like that and it's not enough to pay the bills, then that extra $1,000 can help get you over the hump. And, you know, they go on to the far-reaching effects of this, being able to do it, what it can do to a person's physical health and mental health, and, and what it could do to the crime rate, right? The crime rate, meaning that it's going to probably be a lot less crime and a lot less money going, uh, uh, into crime or going out of the system due to crime, right? And now this was one of the most amazing statistics to me and kind of scary and kind of, kind of did this, uh, this, uh, catch-22 thing in my brain that I had trouble figuring out. But every time somebody commits a crime because they're desperate or they don't have something, they go out and steal because they can't get a job or buy food, or they can't get the job they want, or whatever the case may be. It costs about something like $40,000 a year to imprison one person. So throughout the interview, and if you watch it, you probably recall this, but throughout the interview, this weird thing comes up about, uh, uh, what— why not just give the, the criminals the $40,000? If you gave a criminal to keep them— because the whole concept was that some of the people who work in the prison systems in the, in Uh, uh, we're saying that it's so, you know, the, the situation with prison is probably easier just to pay people to keep them out of the prison, right? If you— so $40,000 a year to imprison one person, just think about that for a second. If, if somehow the $40,000, or even a portion of that, right, half of that $30,000 and you save $10,000. What if you gave $30,000 to a criminal a year and you told him, look, you can get this $30,000 a year. All you gotta do is stay out of trouble. Don't rob anybody. Don't commit crimes. You're gonna pay $30,000 a year and we're going to save $10,000 a year. Isn't that a catch-22? I mean, that is so crazy, but I understand the concept of it though. Of if you have something like the Freedom Dividend or Universal Basic Income, whatever you want to call it, uh, then that's gonna, gonna halt a lot of that. Because these people are going to be walking around with $1,000 in their pocket, they're probably going to spend the $1,000 before they go rob somebody for it. And so it's just, it's, it's— and again, you know, it— this isn't about this $1,000 per month solving the entire issue. You know, that's, you know, Andrew Yang's not saying that's what it's supposed to do. And, uh, I think now we're understanding that Joe Rogan understands it now because he seemed to be coming with that same, uh, type of position, right? Because, you know, misunderstanding of what it was about. No, it's not, it's not supposed to do that, but it can reduce some of this, these mental health issues. It could maybe reduce some of the suicide rate because people don't feel as desperate. And I think what's gonna be important with Andrew Yang as far as just getting to the idea of can he win, I think he has a good chance. And I say that because when you look at the college graduates who are just bogged down by debt, some of them are teachers too. It's kind of crazy. Caring a lot of debt, you know, not making all that much money but still carrying all this college debt, right? You imagine like how a lot of those people are going to feel about getting an extra $1,000 per month. You know, they're probably going to be for it. Um, if he can get into that area of the, of the, of the voting uh, group. You know, I, I think, uh, a lot of young people too. If, if he can— and I— and that's kind of the weird thing I'm seeing with him though, that I think maybe he should, uh, go after that too, more the young people. Because like, when I look at a lot of his, uh, rallies, or, you know, when he goes out and speaks to people or whatnot, it's like a lot of— maybe that's his target right now because he's done a lot with truckers, he's done a lot with the, the Midwest, right? The, the Heartlands of America, Iowa, and various places like that. Because there's a lot of these people do a lot of trucking work that's going to be displaced. They do a lot of these jobs. And this trucking industry, you know, as he brought out, it's not just going to affect some guy who went off and got a trucker's driver's license, right? Uh, it's going to affect everything that integrates into that, from the, the, um, the, um, Uh, the hotels and motels that service these people, the diners, you know, that, uh, that get all their business, all these small businesses that are getting business from this large amount of truckers that are creating this $160 billion, uh, uh, economy per year. And so it's going to be a lot affected. Um, but I think, you know, my opinion is start turning these, a lot of these young people, right? Because what's coming over good is that the young people who are building a lot of this AI, and just how a lot of young voters are today, a lot of the young voters are post-born after the internet was created, right? So they're born with technology. They understand the, uh, the large, uh, reach that technology has and what it can do. They can, they can understand the advancements technology is going innate because they were born with it. They're, they're in sync with it. So they can see themselves talking to their robot and being a friend with their robot, right? And robot dogs and all that. So it's talking to them. I think he'll probably pretty much get their votes because, you know, the, the, the good thing about a lot of these people who work in AI, they are very sympathetic to the people who they're replacing, right? They're, they're not just going, I'm going to create this stuff and put all these people out of work and not care what happens to them. No, they're, they're probably going to be at the same time trying to create, um, systems and technology to help and assist in some form or another. Uh, and so I think he needs to be reaching out to them because he's, he's gonna need to reach the young people, right? The young voters can push you over a great deal. He's gonna have to, to do that. And, and the good news is I, I think he is going to reach them, but he does need to focus and target on them. So It's just so much to talk about. You know, Joe Rogan's podcast, it can last 2 to 3 hours, a long time. So, uh, I'm not going to be able to cover that much information. I'm not going to try to. I'm going to link you guys and, and, and just tell you that it was a great, great show. But in closing, I'm just going to say this, and that is, um, you know, um, Andrew Yang has a good chance of winning this thing. And that, you know, over the years my views have been quite conservative. You know, I grew up with, you know, don't live beyond your means, you know, buy things you can't afford, you know, all of those things, all these very responsible, sound economic views. I've listened, I've studied Milton Friedman, Uh, I'm a big supporter of Thomas Sowell. And so I understand all arguments of this, a great, to a great degree. Uh, uh, you know, not to toot my own horn, but maybe a great degree more so than many of you. So I get it. But even Milton Friedman, the king of conservative, uh, of politics, of, uh, economics, right? He voiced that universal basic income. He supported it. Um, you know, Elon Musk, you know, he supports this. Mark Zuckerberg supports it. You know, a lot of these people support it. And whether you think it's, uh, some diabolical plan to trick people or take over the world, what is clear is at the start of this video What do you think these machines are going to be able to do in 10 years and 20 years, right? Do you think that they're just going to stop right at this point? You know, and those are just the mechanical parts, right? We're not even talking about, uh, how they have AI programs coming out that are going to replace lawyers, that are going to replace psychologists. Um, it's a lot of, a lot of, you know, what we would term intellectual skill jobs, or, you know, people are going to be out of work and these kids coming out of school aren't going to have jobs in that area. Um, but in saying all of that, I'm starting to see, and this is what I like about Andrew Yang, I'm starting to see conservatives, Trump supporters start to support Andrew Yang. Um, and he definitely, at my point, at this point, rather, has my support. But here's the thing, um, before we get excited, that I want to say is that Washington politics is ugly, it's grueling, and we already know when Washington politics can't get its way, it'll cheat, it'll beg, borrow, steal, it'll cheat, it'll change the system, it'll change the rules. And so even if Andrew Yang gains a lot of traction, even if he does a good job, you know, we have to expect that there are going to be a lot of obstacles thrown in his way. So this is what I want to say to you all, because quite a few of you all have been watching my content specifically dealing with Andrew Yang. This is what I want to say to you all. A lot of you have watched it. And agreed with it and supported it. But I noticed you haven't joined my program, uh, my personal project based on universal basic income. Now here's what I'm suggesting, or here's what I'm, what I'm saying. Um, you know, and I'm not comparing Andrew Yang to Bernie Sanders. I'm not comparing them to that, you know, although I think that there will be people who do see a version of Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang who haven't listened to Andrew Yang, but I can see them being confused and somehow grouping them together. But if we go back to the Bernie Sanders campaign, what we got with Bernie Sanders was at the end when he lost, he went, the fight is going to continue, right? And he wants the fight to continue. And then he backed Hillary Clinton. But here's the problem. Uh, the fight didn't continue, right? It didn't continue. It stopped right there. And, uh, in fact, from, from the, from the standpoint of the Democrats or the Democratic Socialists, I would say it went totally the opposite direction because then you got Donald Trump, right? Which is totally different from, you know, any direction they were probably going for. But I'm saying all that to say this, right? Andrew Yang has a good chance of winning, but they're going to throw a lot at him and he may not win. If that happens, then are you giving up the fight? For those of you all who support him and, uh, uh, believe in his campaign, right? Are you giving up the fight if that happens? Are you prepared if he loses? And if he loses, what are you going to do about it? So that's what I'm suggesting now. Our program is a blockchain technology that's experimenting with universal basic income right now because the problem is, like Andrew Yang said, and then by the time things get bad and then we turn our attention to this and we decide to do something about this, by the time that happens, it's going to be too late, right? And then everybody's going to be trying to figure out stuff and it's going to probably be a disaster. You have to experiment with these things early. This is a chance to do that now. You know, if Andrew Yang wins, that'd be great. If he doesn't, then you have this type of backup plan, right? Where you can still function and try out different things and go forward with a solution to the future. But you all have to do that, right? You have to seek that out. Um, But don't— if he does lose, don't let this be another situation like what happened with Bernie Sanders. But anyway, guys, that's all I want to say in this video. I hope you all, uh, if you had— did see the Joe Rogan video with Andrew Yang, I hope you all enjoyed it. Uh, if you didn't watch it, you need to absolutely watch it. We're going to leave a link in the description to the full video. And guys, if you like content like this, don't forget to like, subscribe. And until next time, take care.
