yang is still there. andrew yang joins me live right now. thank you for joining us, sir. i want to start with your campaign slogan. it is "not left, not right, but forward." what does that mean? >> jon, to me it's clear the reason donald trump is our president is that we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs primarily based in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, missouri and iowa, the swing states he needed to win. what we did to those jobs we'll do to the retail jobs, the call center jobs and eventually the truck driver jobs. we need a new way forward for all americans independent of your political affiliation. that's what i mean by not left, not right, forward. these problems are technological and apply to us all. >> are you saying the democratic party has tied too far to the left and the republicans too far to the right? >> i was an ambassador in the obama administration. to me democrats haven't asked themselves the hard question as to how donald trump won in 2016. if you look around the country, you see 30% of stores and malls closing. you see high levels of stress, f

ening yang was the only nonwhite candidate on stage. under polling requirements, only five candidates qualify for the debate, not including yang after the dnc rejected new polling and yang said the committee should push harder to expand the stage. >> if they heard back that it was not going to be in time for the january 10th deadline, they should say, why don't you start it as soon as possible? the dnc saying we can do nothing about it seems disingenuous because they can clearly reach out to any of the approved polling organizations and ask for a poll to be conducted in a given timeline. >> as for senator elizabeth warren, today she commemorates one year since she launched her exploratory committee with a speech back home in massachusetts and a clean bill of health for bernie sanders after a heart attack earlier this year. the attending physicians at the u.s. capitol say that he has the mental and physical stamina to undertake the rigors of the presidency. >> on friday, secretary of state mike pompeo will fly to ukraine, the country at

yang. >> well -- [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> thank you. >> andrew yang's campaign says he raised $750,000 from 20,000 donations just since that debate ended about 24 hours ago. let's go out front now with andrew yang and businessman and presidential candidate. of course, i laughed there at that moment. that was just indicative of the way you were able to handle yourself last night and everyone was laughing with you. so, tell me, andrew, about those donors. $750,000 in, what? 20 -- 22 hours? who are these donors? >> well, the best thing, erin, is over a third of the donors are completely new to the campaign and our average donation on the campaign is only $30. we are a purely people-powered grassroots campaign. many people tuned in last night and joined the yang gang, sent us $5, $10, $20 and that's exactly the kind of growth that we'll demonstrate right up until we peak when voting starts on february 3rd. >> so i know you need -- obviously, you've got lots of donors and you need more than the hundreds of thousands of donors to make the debate. you need polls and the new criteria came out

happening with andrew yang. his digital performance is unreal and i think it's because people are tired. the fatigue in the country from the impeachment has people looking for fresh answers. nobody, except for me, would have said the surviving person of color would have been andrew yang. >> he said it's all fun and games until andrew yang passes you in the polls. >> do you have any product placement? >> the one person we haven't mentioned was also involved in that gang-up on elizabeth warren on medicare for all and that was amy klobuchar. she's kind of quietly creeping up in iowa and new hampshire. >> yeah. >> this is a big debate -- >> the move for somebody on this stage tonight is to coalesce all of the fakdctions that aren't represented on the stage and are necessary for any type of winning effort. it's interesting to see who spends more time and more reaching out to the audience to say i'm your best bet. i think that's what the party's hungry for. we're out of time. let's get it back to erin in new york. tha

in a recent cnn poll andrew yang is registering at 3%. he tweeted he has raised $2 million in a week and now on the cusp of qualifying for the next debate, scheduled for december 19th. andrew yang with us now. joining us from poughkeepsie, new york. all right. good to see you. >> great to be here. hudson valley animal rescue. >> tell me all about them. sorry about that. we have a little delay. >> i never get to do these interviews in casual clothes. it makes me so happy. >> i understand. i totally feel that. i was just fussing with this blouse i've been wearing. you are surrounded by a lot of critters there, and i don't mean in the race for the white house. you're at an animal sanctuary. we're hearing the dogs barking. this is an extension of your pledge for humanity effort. pledge an hour of your time, do something good for humanity. where did this come from? why is this important to you? >> our campaign slogan is humanity first because we need to rewrite the rules of the 21st century economy to work for us. we thought about ways we can

that explains yang's new billboard: yang 2020: hey tim, was it friday or saturday that you needed to be picked up from the airport? ( applause ) close enough! close enough! close enough. next up one the stylin' donkey, big news this week from the campaign of vermont senator and man whose office mate is experimenting with natural deodorant, bernie sanders. bernie is in second place nationally. he's got huge support among democrats under age 35, but he's got a big generation gap problem, polling with just 2% with democrats over 65. just 2%! among seniors, bernie is trailing "sitting by the door at a restaurant." "granddaughter majoring in women's studies," and "too many damn remotes." ( laughter ) ( applause ) we have a great show tonight! but first, time to move on clearly. first-- you know what's going to happen now. first we're going to do "meanwhile." now, normally we would go to commercial right now, but would you rather have commercials or more show? >> audience: more show! >> stephen: okay, but understand that more show means there might be some subtle product placement. >> audi

. >>> andrew yang lamented he was the sole minority candidate to qualify for last night's debate. >> it's an honor and a tragedy to be the only person of color on the stage tonight. black and latinos have something much more powerful working against them than words. they have numbers. the average net worth of a black household is only 10% of a white house household. for latinos, it's 12%. these are the numbers that define race in our country. >> yang pivoted to the main focus of his platform, the universal basic income. he wants to give each american 18 and old, a freedom dividend of $1,000 a month. he says he guarantees that if it existed, he would not have been the only candidate of color on the stage. >>> elizabeth warren drew wild applause when she fired back about a question about her age, when she would be the oldest president ever inaugurated if she wins in 2020. she didn't miss a beat. >> you would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. >> i would also be the youngest woman ever inaugurated. >> boom. warren would be 71 at the time of her inauguration if elected. >>> tallyi

yang. >> wow. i don't think i have much to ask forgiveness for. in terms of a gift, elizabeth has done me the honor of starting to read my book. i would love to give each of you a copy of my book. >> i found that moment authentic especially when moderators throw the oddball questions at you on the spot. do you have a doover. >> i can tell you what was going through my head. >> tell me. >> the first thing is, of course, i want to give everyone a thousand dollars a month. >> right. >> that's the gift to everyone. >> the gift of my campaign to all americans. then i thought, i've been trying to broaden the messening a little bit. and then i had, you know, like a starky thought. >> the thought was something about like the gift of seeing what's happening in the 21st century. in terms of- >> i'll discard that one. and elizabeth is reading my book. i genuinely would love it if the other candidates would read my book. i believe transformation of our economy due to technology is changing everything. >> book sales have shot up, you told me. >> my publisher w
